Nefther could swim, but they were both lucky endugh to reach the boat after the plunge Into the bay. The hours they were tossed about in the water with night rapidly closing in upon them were fliled with horror and physical agony. They were fatigued when Richardson and Rosentrater bore down on them in a sail- boat and took them m{ol the water and h on to Sheep Island. eré, the rescuers and J.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Jan. 5. | Members of the Twentieth Century Club, composed of Intellectual colored people of i this city, are in a ferment over what they consider an insult that has been of- fered them by the managers of the lec- ture to be given by Booker T. Washing- ton, the negro educator, in the Mechanics’ 1 Pavilion, San Francisco, on Thursday. They emphatically assert that they have | been snubbed and ctinted in the distribu- | tion of tickets for the address by the| lecture managers, and thls solely because of thelr color. Mrs. George Ingraham, president of the Twentieth Century Club, stated to-night that she would bring the matter before the organization of which she s the head at a meeting to be held Wednesday night and that it was almost certain that the twenty-five complimentary tickets sent| 10" the club by Mrs. Frederic Burk of San | Franclsco, president of the Alumnae As-| | soclation of the University of California, | | and the chief of the lecture managers, | { would be returned. In speaking of the| | transactions that have agitated local col- | ored club circles from center to circum- | ference, Mrs. Ingraham said: | | _I consider that the manner in which Mrs. | Frederic Burk has treated the Twentieth Cen- | tury Club in the distribution of tickets to Mx Washington's lecture in the Mechanics' Pavit ion Thursday a direct insult-—one that canmot |be concesled. and which I feel sure was | promipted by race rejudice.

Lack of work and | | an overindulgence in liquor are supposed | to be the causes of Rodgers' rash attempt upon his own life. | In emerging from the water after the| | first plunge into the bay the unfortunate | man was struck in the face by the paddie | | wheel. He was not rendered unconscious | | by the blow, but sustained a half-dagen | deep lacerations varying from a halr-xzh to two inches In length. He floated, how- ever, until the rescue party reached him. The would-be suicide was taken to the Recelving Hospital. To-night Rodgers said the reason ne had attempied suicide was because his wife, | . from whom he had been divorced, had se- cured possession of his home, which cost $2500. —————————— OAKLAND, Jan. 5—The Southern Pa- cific Company resumed to-day the run- ! ning of local trains over the Webster street route, which was abandoned when the Alameda mole burned two months | | ago.

Annual Report Gives Idea of ~Effect of the High Rates. SR Qakland Office San Francisco Call, 118 Broadway, Jan. 5. The Contra Costa Water Company, ae- cording to its annual report filed to-night with the City Council, put the screws on harder during last year than in 1901 even, when the present mu val legislative body favored the corporation with rates to its liking. Figures furnished by the water com- pany show that Oakland rate payers dur- ing 192 contributed to the coffefs of that corporation a total of $49415339, as against the aggregate for Oakland the year before of $424,133 16. These figures do not include more than $100,000 in clalms for supplying the city, which Auditor Breed has refused to allow on the ground that the company had no legal right to the money and that the Council acted ii- legally in passing the extremely high rate ordinances it has imposed upon the consumers of this city, The returng on the dividend account of the water company for 1902 show that the high pressure schedule of rates has ope- rated to the great advantage of Contra Costa Water Company stockholders. They were paid $247,091 04 last year. as against $123,545 52 in 1901, when the high rates were fairly started The corporation again invites the Oak- land consumers to pay their proportion f costs of the water rate suit. In 191 the compan:; ed costs of that litiga tion at $97.820. year they tacked on 51,052 38, making a total to date of ex- pense invoived in that suit of $178,%02 58, and it has not reached the Supreme Court on appeal In the matter of interest payments the company throws in an item of $2 which will have to be reckongd the fixing of rat Its receipts from water rates in Barke- ley were $i i and in Alameda 363.- 94 46. In the 1 Leandro district the company collected $13,98 3. The report will be taken up when the City Couneil prepares to fix rates this vear. It is pre- dicted that the Counciimep who for two years have voted for high rates will wait until after the municipal eleggion ia March before touching the subject this year.
