THE SANe FRANCISCO CALL. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 11. 1902. ADVERTISEMENTS. THE CHILDREN ENJOY Life out of doors and out of the games which they play and the enjoy- ment which they receive and the efiorts which they make, comes the greater part of that healthful development which is so essential to their happiness when grown. When a laxative is needed the remedy which is given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is— Syrup of Figs—and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by fathers and mothers. Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and gentle—Syrup of Figs. Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but also to our origiftal method of manufacture and as you value the health of the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous deal- ers sometimes offer to increase their profits. bought anywhere of all reliable druggists at fifty cents per bottle. to remember, the front of every pack- age.

WATER RIGHTS AND IRRIGATION Expert Mead Opposes * Private Ownership or . Streams, Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—Elwood Mead, irrigation expert in charge of the office of experiment stations, has filed a lengthy report with the Secretary of the Interior on the scope and purpose of the irrigation investigations. With relation to rainfall, Expert Mead says the territory of the United States is divided into three divisions—the humid, the sub-humid and the arid. Geographically these regions are arranged from east to west, although no exact line can be drawn separating them. The report says: The humid region, as generally deseribed, in- to about helf way between their eastern and west- ern bordere. The sub-humid region lies be- tween the humid and arid regions, extending from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada, and includ- ing irregular areas in the different Pacific Coast States, while the arid region includes all the territory lying west of the eastern sub- humid belt, with a considerable exception along the Pacific Coast, and with smaller local areas in each of the arid States. Irrigation is em- ployed as an ald to agriculture in all of these regions. It is & necessity in the arid region, of great value in the sub-humid district and is proving highly profitable in the growing of rtain crops in the humid region. There are iso large areas in the recently acquired insu- lar possessions of the United States where irri- | gation is required, and where the value of the products permits of a large outlay to provide for its use. The greater part of the irrigation work of this office has been carried on in the region where farming is impossible without the artificial application of water to crops. This includes’ all of the Territories of Arizona and New Mexico, the States orf Colorado, Utah, Montana and Wyoming, and large parts of California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, North Dakota, South Daxota, Nebraska, Kan- sas and Texes. The greater attention paid to the problems of this section of the country is justified by the fact that here irrigation is a necessity rather than a valuable adjunct to agriculture. It measures agricultural settle- ment and very largely controls the develop- ment of other industries, because both the cost and comfort of living are very largely deter- mined by the production of & home food sup- ply. In the reglons further east the adoption of irrigation is determined by whether or not it will improve conditions already favorable, but in the arid region it ie the choice between civilization and desert conditions. Users’ Rights Must Be Defined. The work in {his region has followed two general lines—agricultural and engineering, legal and social. Of these the legal and social problems - present the greatest difficulties and stand most in need of an early solution. The success of irrigated agriculture in this region requires, first of all, the creation of {nstitu- tions _which 1 offer a just and adequate foundation for future development. Such a foundation requires that the users' right to streams must be clearly defined in order that those who now use streams and those Who ex- pect to use them may understand how much of the water supply is appropriated and how much remains open to appropriation. The liti- gation and controversy which now menace com- munities, and which are a constant source of anxiety and loss to irrigators, should be brought to an end. In order to effect these desirable reforms a knowledge of certain essential facts is required. Among those are the quantity of water required to grow crops, the losses from seepage and evaporation in distribution, the character of the control over streams already vested and the kind of administrative meas- ures meeded to insure effective divisions of streams among the multitude of users who de- pend thereon. Specific information along these lines is indispensible to wise and effectlye action in the future either by the Government or by individuals. It is the information which shouid have been gathered at the outset of this development, but the long delay in its collection renders it all the more urgent that it be carried on now to an early and effective completion. The report deals at considerable length with agricultural and engineering prob- | iems, legal and social problems, irrigation laws the organization of irrigation ; inGustes. Regarding water rights, the report says: The idea of private ownership in water apart | from land cannot prevail without creating in- stitutions essentially feudal in character. To give to companies or individuals the control Gf streame and make the farmers who use those streams dependent for their rights on the conditions which the companies impose In pri- vate contracts, is to make the water company the practical owner of the land it serves and the irrigator and farmer a tenant. A propo- sition which would contemplate turning over all the land of the West to private monopo- lies and making those who have homes upon it upon these monopolies would not command popular supyort, but the ideaof pri- vate ownership in water, amounting to a vir- tual monopoly of this vital element, has been permitted to grow up in some sections of the West. To a certain extent It has obtaiped rec: ognition in legiclation and protection ,n Judi- clal decrees and decisions. Such aidoctrine meets with 1o favor In other irrigated lands, and should in this country give place to the | 3CHOONER BURNG T0 WATER LINE Vessel Takes Fire While Caught in the Ice Off Cape May. CAPE MAY, N. J., Feb. 10.—A three- ‘masted schooner, the name of which has not been learned, was burned at sea to- night. The fire, which was plainly visible from here, started about 5 o'clock this af- ternoon and burned untll after 9 o'clock. The schooner came to a point about six miles off shore in a a northeast direcilon from Cape May lighthouse during Satur- | day night and was caught in the {ce fields floating out of Delaware Bay. As soon as the crews of the live-saving stations at Cape May Point, Cold Springs and Turtle Gut Inlet saw the fire they manned their yawls and attempted to go to the assistance of the sailors on the schooner. Ice prevented the crews from reaching the schooner, but it is be- lieved from what can be seen through glasses that the men are iIn their small boats floating around in the ice waiting for assistance. Up to the time darkness covered the ocean to-night no big craft which could have rendered assistance was seen within two miles of the burning vessel. The life- saving crews had not returned up to Il o'clock to-night. The vessel seems to be burned to the water line. e el ) more just conception that right to water should be restricted to the right of use, and that ownership should not be vested in elther com- panies or individuals, but in the land itself. Congressional Aid Is Required. When this principle fs adopted, the control of water is divided like the control of land among a multitude of proprietors; water monopoly is impossible, and no other abuse or injustice is encouraged. Years of experience in other lands and the limited experience of this coun- try have abundantly proven that peaceful and orderly development cannot be realized except as water and land are united in one ownership and canals treated as public or semi-public utilities rather than as a means of fastening a vicious monopoly upon communities. After referring at great length to frri- gatlon in the humid portions of the United tates, and in ‘the insular possessions of the United States, the report concludes: 1t §s impossible for Congress to legislate re- garding water rights gmmn States without revolutionizing existing conditions in some of the States and without interfering with vested rights. A commission could determine what proportion of a stream should flow down from the State above to the State below and leave it to the authorities of the State above to deter- mine what measures shall be taken to accom- plish this result, and to the authorities of the State below to determine what shall be done with the water when they recelve it. JIn this way there would be no interference with vest- ed rights or with State codes of laws, while at the same time there would be a far better prospect of securing a just and effective divis- :;.n“o; the supply than'through interstate 1iti- on.

Aided by the Cashier, F. C. Andrews Juggles With Certified Checks. Teculating Official, Who Is Also a Police Commissioner of De- troit, Is Placed Under Arrest. —_— DETROIT, Mich., Feb. 10.—Vice Presi- dent Frank C. Andrews of the City Savings Bank, which has been in the hands of State Banking Commissioner George L. Maltz since this morning, was arrested late this ~afternoon, and ar- raigned at 9:30 o'clock to-night on the charge of fraudulently and knowingly”’ securing from the bank, without security and without the knowl edge of the other directors a sum ex- ceeding $1,000,000. He was released on $10,000 bail_and his examination was set jor February 21. Cashler Henry R. An- drews, through whom ¥. C. Andrews is said to have secured the money by means of overdrafts and certified checks, is serfously ill at his home with nervous prostration. 1In addition to a total in- debtedness to the City Savings Bank of $1,155,000, to secure wnich Anarews has signed over to that institution all his rewl estate holdings and stocks, bonds and other securities, which it is estimat- ed will total about $1,000,000, four local banks and a trust company hold his checks, certified to by Cashier Andrews, to the amount of $662,000. A considerabie number of these checks are protected by securities deposited with them by An- drews. Examination of the Books. As soon as Commissioner Maltz took charge of the institution he. began an examination of its books. It was found that Cashier Andrews had permitted F. C. Andrews to overdraw his account $914,000. Other liabilitles brought F. C. Andrews’' total indebtedness to the bank up to $1,158,00. In aadition to this Cash- jer Andrews had certified to checks for F. C. Andrews, which he had deposited in banks, to the amount of 3662,000. At the close of his examination Commis- sioner Maltz to-night issued the follow- ing statement of the bank's condition at the close of business February 8: Resources—Total loans and = discoun bonds, mortgages and securities, $2; 093; overdrafts, $913,853; real estate, $10,839; cash in banks, 288,697, other assets, $18,922. Liabilities—Stock, surplus and undivid- ed profits, $225,212; deposits. $3,370,251. The examination showed that the rec- ord of F. C. Andrews' transactions was not kept in the regular way, but in a memorandum book. The first record of a transaction betwcen Cashier Andrews and F. C. Andrews is January 11, but:the examiners estimate that the transactions have been going on for about six weeks. President ¥. C. Pingree explained the maner in which the certified checks were obtained, as follows: How Andrews Operated. “F. C. Andrews would draw a check in the amount he wanted and have it cer- tfied by the cashier, Henry R. Andrews. He would present this certified check to the person with whom he was doing business and ask him to hold it out for that day, as the bank was not in funds to meet it. Perhaps he would thus hold it out’ for two or three days, and eventu- ally, when there was money enough in the bank to meet the check, he would go in and take it out. There would be only a slip of paper in the drawer,-and the withdrawal would be put down as a cash item. With this money he would in person pay the certified check and tear it up. This was done time and again.” | The City Savings Bank was the depos- itory for the.funds of the County Audit- ors, their balance there being more than $150,000, and F. C. Andrews was arrested this afternoon on a complaint sworn out by. Auditor Christian after a long confer- ence betwen the Auditors and Prosecutor Hunt. The warrant was served on An- drews, who is Commissioner of Police, by two of his detectives in the office of the Detroit Trust Company, where he had been in consultation with officers of the banks holding_his certified checks. The City Savings Bank was also the deposi- tory for the Board of Education, wHich Other local banks will temporarily advance funds to_the Board of Education for sal- aries and running expenses. Criminal Irregularities. At a meeting of the Clearing-house As- soclation this afternoon the following statement on the suspended institution was_issued: ““The disaster which to-day has befallen the City Savings Bank is the result of criminal irregularities confined entirely to that institution and caused by the rash speculation of its vice president, who con- trolled the management and, betrayed his trust. The bank has been expelled from the association. The officers of this asso- clation desire fo state to the public that there is no need of apprehension regard- ing any other bank in the city. The pres- ent condition of the banks, as shown by the weekly statements furnished the Clearing-house, reveals an _unusually strong showing in reserve and cash re- sources, and the fair name and good rep- utation of the banks of Detroit will not suffer by this trouble.” There was nothing like a panic at any of the other banks in this city, and com- paratively few deposits were withdrawn as a result of the excitement. At the Gratiot-avenue branch of the City Sav- ings Bank, which drew its deposits large- 1y from the laboring people, there were pathetic scenes as the depositors learned that the bank had suspended. Policemen were in the vicinity to quell any disorder, but their services were not necessary at any time. WALT LAKE, Utah, Feb. 10.—The sus- pension of the City Savings Bank of De- troit has resulted in the closing down of operations at two prominent Utah mines— the Ophir at Stateline and the Tiewaukee at Bingham. C. Andrews, vice presi- dent of the suspended Detroit Bank, was heavily interested in these properties, both of which are considered valuable. The close-down will be temporary. — 49 votes ahead of Pred Eggers in the re- count of the votes cast for Supervisor: the.last election.

Shortly before the steamer Tucapel sailed yesterday a customs inspector saw a man named Nult walking down the gangplank carrying in his hand a hand- kerchief full of cigars. As he had made no effort at concealment he was not ar- rested, but was obliged by the customs inspactor to return with the cigars to the steamer, which he did. A short time aft- erward a woman who proved to be Mrs. Nult, the man's wife, was detected by Customs Inspectress Mrs. 8. BE. Adams passing a bundle over the rail of the steamer to her husband. Mrs. Adams seized the package, which contained 184 cigars. She then took Mrs. Nult into the cabin and searched her for smuggled goods, but.was unable to find any.

Revised Estimates Show the Loss Will Be Eight Millions. Springfield, Ohio, Is Also Visited by a Conflagration That Causes Great Damage at a Big " Plant. r —_———— PATERSON, N. J., Feb. 10,—A feeling of confidence in the future pervades the minds of citizens of Paterson - to-night. Mayor Hinchliffe has the situation well in hand, and to an’offer for assistance which came from Mayor Low of New York an answer was returned containing thanks and the assurance that Paterson is man- aging to care for those in need. - Money and securities sald to amount to $3,000,000° were recovered from the two huge vaults under the ruins of the First National bank this afternoon. Books, pa- pers, bullion and paper money were found uninjured. Burled beneath the ruins of the City Hall were found the safes' which - be- longed to the Controller’s office, and also the ‘papers, legal documents and public records .were found unharmed. The safes of the Passaic Water Company, under the ruins of the building which stood at 17 and 109 ‘Washington street, were de- stroyed and the only part of their con- tents recovered was $500 in silver. The greatest tangle in city affairs will be in the Tax Office. So far as can be ascertained, the records of the depart- ment are destroyed. There is a set of books which shows the valuation, etc., of each plece of property in the city, and the Assessors have their field books, from which all this could be duplicated with- out overmuch work. It is said, however, that it is almost certain the records showing who paid their taxes and who had not are destroyed, and that there is not in existence anything from which the information could be obtained. The work of clearing up the burned dis- trict has not begun, but the firemen were busy until night with repairers and dyna- mite, tearing down the shaky walls that endangered those who had to be insige the burned area. So well did this work progress that in the afternoon the public was permitted in the ruins and sentries were posted at those important points, keeping the crowd moving. Thousands passed about the choked up streets and reviewed the ruins during the two hours and a half allowed them. At the expira- tion of the time the sentries in the center of the section began moving outward and gathering up the extra men at each step, scon had the entire section cleared. Loss Is Eight Millions. Mayor Hinchliffe said to-night that he thought the loss would reach at least $8,- 000,000. Absolutely no list of the losses, even an estimate, has been made up for the section east of the Erie Rallroad. Following is a list of the estimates of the business section. It is approximately correct.. It does not, however, take into account the many tenements: Mullins & Co.. $75,000; R.

A well-informed insurance man said to- day that it would be safe to say that the property lost in the fire was insured at about two-thirds of its value, or per- haps a little more. It is understood that the insurance on public_property will not figure higher than 35 per cent. . Mayor Hinchliffe sald to-night: “It will not be necessary for us to ap- peal for financial aid outside of Pater- son. Only three applicants went to the Armory building last night for assistance, and all these cases have been cared for.” Springfield’s Big Fire. SPRINGFIELD, O., Feb. 10.—The larg- est fire in the history of Springfield broke out in the Champion Chemical plant of the East-street shops to-day, and in an hour and a half twelve manufacturing plants were in total ruins. The esti- mated loss is $1400,000. The fire started from the explosion of some chemicals in the Champion Chemical plant. The fire companies were greatly hand[capged by the light pressure of water. Ten firemen were caught in the office of the Krell French Piano Company, and to get out rolled down the steps and jumped out of a window. A company of the Natlonal Guards was on duty to keep away the dense crowds and marauders. Four freight cars of the Detroit and Southern Railway Company were totally destroyed and many others ruined. The company losses are estinfated as follows: Owen Machine Tool Company, $60,000; Champion Chemical Company, $30,- 000; Springfield Foundry Company, $30,000; Indianapolis Frog and Switch Company, $50,000; Miller Gas Engine Company, $30,- 000; Green Manufacturing Company, $5000; Krell French Piano Company, $150,000. The insurance is $130. on the con- tents and for Senator Fairbanks on the building, $110,000, a total of $240,000. Dayton was asKed to send help. The Warder, Bushnell & Glossner Company’s fire department assisted. The great East-street shops were built nearly thirty-five years ago by Whitely, Fassler & Kelly, of which company Wil. liam N. Whitely was the dominating fac- tor. The shops at the time of their com- pletion were the second largest in the world, being rivaled only by the great Krupp gun works at Essen, Germany.

The habeas corpus case of Ma Foo, the name given by the old Chinaman substi- tuted for young Ma Foc by Expressman John Dufty, will be taken before United States Court Commissioner Heacock on Thursday morning at 10 o'clock. Duffy's case will be heard at the same time. The Chinaman persists in his declaration that he is Ma Foo, 46 years old, and that he arrived on the Doric last August. He de- hied that he was acquainted with Pon Toy, the Chinaman mentioned as havin tute the habeas corpus proceedings.

Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—There is no | longer any doubt that Congress will pass a bill before the close of the present ses- | sion. imposing heavy punishments upon persons assassinating or instigating the death of a President or any official in the liné of succession of his office. The Senate Committee on Judiciary to- day authorized Senator Hoar to report the bill prescribing the death penalty for | all persons who shall attempt the life of the President or any official in line of | succession, or who shall aid such assas- sin to escape capture; also for any one | who shall attempt in this country the life of the chief ruler of another nation. The bill further provides imprisonment not exceding ten years for all who threat- en, advise or instigate such assassination, | and authorizes the Secretary of War to detail a guard from the army to protect the President and assist the secret serv- ice. The bill is different in its general features from that reported last week by the House Committee on Judiciary, but its purpose and penalties are the same, and there is little doubt that the two houses will be able to reach a prompt agreement.

In the House of Lords the Under See- retary for the Colonfal Office, Lord On- slow, referring to the Government's in- tention to withdraw the British troops from Wei-Hai-Wei, added the information that the Government had ne intention of giving up so valuable a colony as Wei-~ Hai-Wel. It was extremely useful as a small-arms store, for gunning practice and as a sanitarfum. The naval and mil- itary officials there had every reason to belleve Wel-Hai-Wei would become in- creasingly useful and valuable. The Chinese regiment at Wei-Hai-Wel would be gradually disbanded. It had been found that the position could only be fortified at a great expense. The Co- lonial Office took over the administration of the place January 1. The rumors that ‘Wei-Hail-Wel would be returned to China or handed over to.any other power were entirely unfounded. The decision had been reached from the view-point of naval strategy, and there had been an extraor- dinary consensus of naval cpinfon in favor of the course adopted. 5 nmz n;ve}?lty yedtnhor “\‘l:gt;lréiw ort at night, and the Trouble, Kidney and Biadder Troubles, Rheumatism, Lame Stomach and all forms of pain and weakness must_cure.
