Announcement was made to the City Gouncil to-night that the deadlock over the appointment of a board of arbi- tration to fix the valuation of the Con- tra Costa Water Company’s plant had been broken. President George W. Dornin said difficulties had been ad- justed between the special Council com- mittee and the water company’s repre- sentatives, and that the committee would report Monday night to the Council on its plan and the name of the experts to represent the city and the water company. Councilman Cuvellier added a de- tailed statement of the situation. He said the conferences of the committee and the water company people up to lagt Monday night had been unproduct- ive of results, because they ceuld not agree on the programme to be fol- lowed by the board of arbitration nor to the instructions to be submitted to the experts. Later conferences had led to concessions on the part of the water company, a fair ground of operations had been established, and the way had been cleared for speedy organization of the board. In view of Councilman Dornin and Councilman Cuvellier's explanations, the Council to-night postponed further inquiry in the matter of water rates fixing until April 25, the next regular meeting night of the committee of the whole. e STEALS SISTER'S JEWELS AND IS NOW IN PRISON Alameda Man With Penchant for Liquor Taken Into Custody for Second Offense. ALAMEDA, April 15. — Adolph Schroeder, who comes from an old and prominent family here, is in the City Prison, charged with stealing his sister’s jewels, with the object of dis- posing of them for money with which to buy drink. Schroeder was taken into custody last night by Policeman Theodore Anderson. When searched there was found upon him a gold watch and chain that belonged to his sister. Six weeks ago Schroeder loot- ed his sister's jewel case for the first time. Most of the gems then taken were recovered by Chief of Police Conrad in a pawnshop and at the re- quest of Schroeder’s relatives he was not prosecuted. The authorities in- tend to make it interesting for Schoeder for his second theft. — FREE—FREE TO WANT ADVERTISERS IN NEXT SUNDAY'S CALL. THE GLOW NIGHT LAMP. A SCIENTIFIC WONDER.

Bump Threatens Address Before Faculty | and Students of Berkeley i HE DEFENDS SYSTEM P T Says Spoils Scheme, With Its Corruption and Vicious- ness, Has Been Displaced it T B BERKELEY, April 15.—Alford W. Cooley, one of the two members of the United States Civil Service Commis- sion, addressed a gathering of faculty men and students in’the observatory nia thlB afterncon on “Civil Service | | Reform.” Mr. Cooley spent a half hour dealing with she history and econom- ical value of that interesting system and went away from a room ringing | of the subject. Mr. Cooley’s first task was to show the development of the system from the beginning, then to treat of its workings and finally to deal with its enemies and critics. George Washing- ton, he said, was the first man to for- he did by refusing to continue the spoils system of the English, against which the colonies had revolted. With- out any statutes to demand it, meén were appointed upon their merits until Jackson’s time, when the spoils sys- tem returned with all its corruption and viciousness. Then it was that the victer began to share in the spoils. The victor shared in the spoiis until 1881, when the first civil service law was passed. Attempts had been made in the interim to secure the adoption of the reform, but it failed until Presi- dent Garfield was assassinated by an office seeker. Then, in answer to the demands of the country, the present law was passed. PRINCIPLES OF LAW. The principles of the law were re- viewed by Mr. Cooley at some length. THe most vaiuable of these, he said, is that which prevents the coersion of men in the service for political rea- sons; another is that which demands that the examinations shall be prac- tical in their character; still another is that which requires that a candi- date for a permanent position shall be received only on probation until he has proved his fitness for his trust. In part Mr. Cooley said: The clvll service law allows for an incre in the number of offices under its contr There were only thirteen offices within the jurisdiction of the commission when it was founded, but now, as you know; it extends to most of the subordinate offices in the land. The commission struggled along with [fair success until 1889, when Theodore Roceeveit was appointed a member of the commiselon, and then it fairly jumped ahead. It was recognized that he was a man of power and under him the scope of the work increased Mr. Roosevelt was for the enforcement of the law above everything else and he saw that it did not become a dead letter. There are many criticisms of the syste 1t does not come from the men working under it, but from the theorists. One of the most useful to these theorists is that the system of examinations is not practical. But I think that it is as practical as it may be. For every position special attention is given to their fmportance and the examinations fixed accordingly. If & man wishes to be a janitor no educational qualification s required. Al that is required of him is good health and a decent knowledge of a building. For a rail way malil clerk only the most elementary edu cational qualification is demanded. The can- didate muet be in good health because the character of the work he is about to under- take demands it. DEGREES ARE SUFFICIENT. The candidate for a scientific place is not examined at<all. His degrees are sufficient for the commission. All the system aims (o do 1s to satisfy itself that the men are quali- fled for the vosition to which they aspire. Another criticism is that the system creat an office-seeking class. I don't know exactl what that means, but I presume that it ‘s born of a protest agalnst some men holding office for life, But that-is where the power of the thing lles. 1f men could be réemoved it would be the spolls system again. It !s designed to prevent removals of an arbitrary kind. The system does no more to create an n"h-e. holding class than does the Southern P Ccmpany or any other great employing tem. It is simply the common sense Way of engaging men who will give the Government efficient service. Mr. Cooley next read a letter from former Governor Taft of the Philip- pines in reply to the President's in- quiry regarding the civil service sys- tem in.the islands and his opinion upon it. In this letter Mr. Taft advocated an extension of the system. “The Civil Service Commission needs the cc-operation of the people,” con- cluded Mr. Cooley, “else the extension of the system will not be gratifying as it has been.” UNIVERSITY EVENTS 5 with applause for his clear exposition | mulate the first civil service rule. This | Contest Unless Given a Third of Husband’s Estate Her Four Stepdaughters In- herit Father’'s Wealth and They Oppose Her Demand Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, April 15. Mrs. Sarah L. Bump has disregarded the wish of her deceased husband, Nelson Bump, as expressed in his will, building at the University of Califor- ] and has threatened the other heirs | | with a will contest unless she is given a third of the estate, valued at $200,- 000. Mrs. Bump was decedent’s sec- ond wife and was left the family resi- | dence at 918 Chester street and $5000, ! while the bulk of the estate was left to the four daughters of Bump by his | first wife. The deceased particularly states in his will, as if he anticipated trouble over the division he had made | of the property, that if Mrs. Bump | should bring legal proceedings to set aside his will she should be disin- herited entirely. Sarah A. \Dean and Jessie H. | Thomas were given special letters of administration on the estate to-day by Judge Greene. In their petition they set forth that the widow is not satis- fied with her share and has threatened suit unless she is given a third; that it | will probably be a long time before matters are settled and that in the meantime the estate needs attention. Upon this showing the letters were issued. The children and heirs of the tes- tator are Lydia J. Thomas, Annie R. Iyey, Ellen McFadden and Sarah A. Dean. They purpose giving their step- mother a battle royal in case she car- ries out her threat of attempting to set aside the will of their late father. In his will the testator affirms that all of his property is separate prop- erty, it having been accumulated hy him prier to his last marriage. and it | is to this clause that the children point for a justification of their re- fusal to give up any of their share of the estate.

Health Officer Ragan will ask the Health Board to request the Board of Supervisors to pass ordinances requir- 4 ing barber shops to be kept in sanitary condition. It is designed to have the health inspectors make periodical visits to the barber shops to see that sanitary regulations are complied with. It has been found that the con- ditions in the cheaper barber shops are bad and one regulation will require that a clean towel be used for each customer. The State laws on the sub- Ject, it is said, are not being enforced. —_———— . Pupils Entertain Parents.
