REFUSES AGAIN T0 HEED DEMAND Auditor Breed Declines to Issue Water Bill Warrants. Sl i Oakland Office S8an Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, July Auditor A. H. Breed has a second tim refused to draw warrants in favor of the Contra Costa Water Company for pay- ment of the bills for water supplied dur- ing the last fiscal year, amounting to $26,- 000. Such was that official's stand to-day, when the company’s representatives, armed with the ratifying ordinance signed | by Mayor Barstow, made a formal de- | mand for the warrants The Auditor declared his opinion that the claims, in spite of the ordinance, were still illegal, and for that reason, coupled with his desire not to jeopardize any of the city's interests in the water rate iitigation, he declined to issue the warrants. Upon this refusal the water company will make a second attempt by mandamus proceedings in the Superior Court to com- pel the Auditor to draw the warrants. The first suit the company instituted was never brought to issue because the com- plaint was found to be fatally defective. Now, with the rew ordinance, which rati- fles and confirms all acts of the City Coun- cil with relation to the disputed water bills, the corporation has hope that its case will rest upon more substantial ground. So far as the Auditor is concerned, he says he will not retire from his position unbil the court of lase_resort has finally passed upon the case. That means a year be settled in the Suprefe Court, no mat- ter which way the litigation shall ter- minate. The Auditing and Finance Committee of the City Council to-night recommended a transfer of $20,000 of the balances in the treasury, as follows: From the salary fund to the genmeral fund, $5000; from the street light fund to the general fund, $5000; from the police fund to the High school fund, $10,000. This will pay the salaries of the High school teachers for March and April last and will ease the pressure on the general fund claims, but will leave unsettled the H’ll‘ih 0 1 refused to make all of the| e eommended by Auditor Breed. Councilman Schaffer charged the Auditor With attempting to “fiimflam” the Coun- cil in the financial statement that had been submitted concerning the condition of the funds. He said: “The Auditor's statement is deceptive. He says if you make these transfers you will leave $27,000 in the treasury after settling all bills but the water company’s claims. That is not so. He has included in his balances $3800 for the police and pension fund and estimated to come in from delinquent taxes, but the former is not in the treas- ury and the property owners have flv'g years in which to pay the delinquencies. “It's a case of flimflam,” said Council- Wixson. ™3¢ it is not fimfamming, T would like to know what it is,” said Schaffer. The Auditor’s request for a general transfer was indefinitely postponed and the $20,- 000 transfer, as introduced by Chairman Courtney, was recommended. “The Missouri Pacific Limited.” The only route having through sleeping car service between San Francisco and St. Stop-overs allowed at Salt tge.

After being herself named as co-respond- ent in one divorce suit, Mrs. May Ed- wards Ware has filed suit for a legal sep- aration from her husband, Conductor Frank Ware of the Southern Pacific Com- pany. Ten days ago Mrs. May Drake, wife of a Southern Pacific brakeman, filed a similar action, implicating Mrs. Ware in the ruin of her home. At the time those charges were made the Wares separated, and now Mrs. Ware makes charges of cruelty against her husband. The case involving the two couples has from the first been redolent of plots and counterplots, to unravel which detectivse have been employed by the several parties in interest, dark threats meanwhile rum- bling menacingly. Ware said he would kill Drake, and Mrs. Ware now says that he said he would kill her. He knocked her down with a blow of his fist last Feb- ruary, she alleges, and in last June again struck her and threatened her life. She claims that he allowed her only $30 of his $150 monthly salary with which to clothe hergelf and run the household. She also says he emploved a detective to dog her footsteps, and in general showed an en- tire lack of that affectionate confidence w}lf(ch should obtain between husband and wife. Mrs. Drake also had a detec prior to the final break betv;:a‘é;altle‘::;ll; and- her husband. She claimed to have discovered that many times when her ab. sent spouse represented that he was en- gaged with his duties on the road he was really spending his time with Mrs. Ware, Mrs. Ware says the detectives’ stories are fabrications from beginning to end.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, July 2. The Oakland Transit Company will con- trol every street railroad in Oakland before the week is out. William G. Hen- shaw, who yesterday completed the pur- chase of a controlling interest in the Oak- land, San Leandro and Haywards Electric | Railroad, will turn that road over to the Oakland Transit Company, and make that company the owner of every line of streat railroad on this side of the bay. The deal is not completed, for Mr. Hen- shaw has only made the agreements with the stockholders of the Haywards line, and the transfer has yvet to take-place. This will be completed before the end o the week, and by the first of August the system in Oakland will e In the hands of the Oakland Transit Company. But there seems to he more than the purchase of one railroad system behind these new deals of the Realty Syndicate. | It is said that some mysterious million- aires have been Interested in the Realty Syndicate and that plans that are Alladin like in_ their brilliancy are to be sprung upon the astonished gaze of Oakland. Large Suburban, Hotel Projected. | This may be the explanation of the i sudden activity displayed by the Oakland | Transit Company, Which is only a sub- | sidiary corporation of the Realty Syndi- cate. For years the lines that were con- trolled by the Oakland Transit Compun | eked out a hand to mouth existence. Cars | and roadbed went to pieces. Suddenly new life appears in both the syndicate and the railroad adjunct. The lines of the Pa- cific Improvement Company are acquired, | followed by the purchase of the Haywards | road. New surveys are run and expensive | plans for reconstruction are made by the | railroad. § | While the railroad is doing this work | the syndicate is not inactive. William J. | Dingee’'s magnificent home, “Fernwood,” is purchased. Additions are made to the | already large holdings of the syndicate in acreage land. |, Now comes the assertion that is made from a source within the syndicate, that | a large suburban hotel is to be erected upon the Dingee place in Hayes Canyon, | that the Piedmont branch of the Transit Company's system is to be extended io | the Dingee place, and that this is to be | made an _all-the-year-round resort for | tourists. The property is admirably sulted | for such a_scheme, for the grounds are already laid out as a private park, and it would need but the construction of the hotel building. Talk of Competing Ferry. The much-talked-of story of @ compet- ng ferry is also being revived. The syndicate has built ferries and hotels on paper before, but it has never | been able to accomplish the purchase of | the Haywards and the San Pablo and Telegraph avenue railroad systems before, | and these recent purchases are being taken as an evidence that from some- where additional financial backing has been secured. 2 | “The Realty Syndicate has plans enough | of all k:nds without making new ones, and the indications are that it is beginning | to carry some of them wut. It now owns every street car line and franchise upon this side of the bay, and the people of Alameda and Contra Costa counties are locking anxiously for the next move. The stock purchased of the Haywards road consists of the holdings of Horry Meek, W. J. Landers and the Stone | brothers. This stock was in pool under an agreement not to sell unless all holders were satisfied. Mr. Henshaw has secured the pool stock, which amounts to two- thirds of the whole. He has also an agreement to purchase the minority one- third at the same price paid for the control. Hibernian Ladies Entertain.

On June 23 Alvin Hunt, aged 13, was playing with several other boys on the narrow gauge turntable at Felton, when the brake was thrown by one of the boys in such a manner as to strike young Hunt on the foot with terrible force, lacerating the flesh on both sides. The boy had come over from Camp McCoy, the Young Men's Christian Association headquarters near Eckerts Station, to visit his mother, who was then the guest of Mrs. William Russell at Felton, and was returning to the camp when hurt. ‘While the other lads hastily sought help young Hunt, though suffering the most excruciating pain, deliberately cut the shoe from his torn and bleeding foot. A physiclan was summoned from Santa Cruz, and during the operation of stitch- ing and dressing the wound the brave boy's only thought seemed to be not of his own suffering but for his mother. his hand over her eves he pleaded: “Don’t look, mamma. It's only a little cut.” But the ‘“little cut” will not heal. Tt ‘was too badly crushed, and the flesh that was torn away will have to be replaced in order to save the foot.
