The company has obtained the time it desires to lay before the committee detailed plans of its new project. In its original offer to the ecity the company, after outlining a scheme of pipe lines and describing its property, simply offered a guaranteed supply of 32,400,000 galions a day. The city, un- der that plan, was to construct all the necessary equipment. The new propo- sition contemplates the delivery of the water at the Berkeley town line, The company’s proposal is contained in the following letter: SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2, 1904. Hon. Warren Olney, Chalrman of the In- vestigating Committee—Dear Sir: Permit me to advise you that the engineers of Sier Nevada Water and Fower Company are about to complete a detailed report, giving full specifications for the delivery of 20,000,000 gal- lons of water daily to Your city. This report, which will be ready for your consideration in a few days, will include the building and con- struction of the entire plant for the delivery 0f 20,000,000 gallons daily to.the Berkgley line of your county. This is a portion of the 32, 400,000 gallons daily which your city s to have the first right to. Should your com- mittee approve the plans, specifications and terms, 1 am authorized to extend your hon- orabie body an invitation to visit and exaniine our property. The engineers of this company will be at your dirposal and render you'every possible assistance. Kindly inform me at what time your committee will grant us a hearing and oblige, yours very truly, GEO. B.' CRITTENDEN. The company’s properties consist of a reservoir site, capacity 17,000,000,000 gallons, at the junction of the South and Licking forks of the Mokelumne River in Calaveras County; also con- trel of water rights on the South Lick- ing and Middle forks of the Mokelumne River, tributary to the reservolr site, This afternoon the advisory commit- tee announced that it would submit its recommendations to the City Council a week from Monday night. The com- mittee had declded to wind up its work in time to file a report next Monday evening, but the Sierra Nevada Com- | pany’s new offer led to a postponement that the compdny might present its plans. —_—— COMPANY G'S NEW QUARTERS.—Alame- da, Nov. 3.—Com a, N G which was recéntly _burmed ons e !

INTOXICANTS HER BANE Drinks With Anybody and Makes a Boon Companion of a, Colored Coachman S SEIS Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, Nov. 3. Impressed with the testimony offered as to her inability to choose her friends well and leave intoxicants alone, a jury found Lady Yarde Buller incompetent this afternoon and denied her petition to be restored to capacity. The verdict was arrived at within fifteen minutes after retiring, it needing but a three- fourths vote for a verdict. The jurors stood ten against her petition and two for granting it. It was shown to-day by the testimony of Dr. John Robertson of Livermore, at whose sanitarium Lady Buller has lived, that he does not dare to trust her to go about without an attendant. While be- lieving her rational to some extent, he said: Stie is both rational and She has a good memory and no_hallucinations, yet she has no conception of the value of money or ideas as to proper assoclates. She cannot be trusted in the selection of her friends. Morally I consider her insane. She is utterly unable to stand alone morally, and if she were left alone she would return to her oid habits in twenty-four hours. I am satisfled she would take to excess In Iiquor again. An instance of both her drinking and her associates when out for a “time” was told by M. J. O'Dea, who conduct- ed a corner grocery in West Oakland several years ago. He testified that he, Mrs, Buller and the colored coachman often repaired to a barber shop adjoin- ing his store and had “tea” together there. She would then drive about in a hack angd go from one resort to another. One morning she was found in the rail- road yards in West Oakland after a wild night spent in drinking, and she was taken to the Receiving Hospital. Dr. S. H. Buteau, who examined her upon that occasion, said he found her suffering from excessive drinking. Her clothing was dishevelled and she was suffering from chronic alcoholism. A long liquor bill was also introduced, showing that she spent during a short time she had her freedom $4 a day for liquors. The testimony was finished by noon to-day, and in the afternoon Attorney | R. M. Fitzgerald addressed the jury for his client, George T. Wright, who as guardian of Lady Buller fought the proceedings. He was followed by At- torney Peter F. Dunne, who closed for the plaintiff. The case, as expressed by several of the jurors afterward, went off on the question of her moral respon- sibility. From the testimony the jurors | were fully satisfled that in this regard she was not competent to manage her- self or her affairs. —_ 8 WILL NOT TRY HUSBAND AGAIN Effort to Compromise Diffi culties of the Gunters| Fails and Trial Is Resumed e Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, Nov. 3. After spending the entire morning in trying to effect a compromise with Amelia C. Gunter, who is suing Wil- liam Gunter for a divorce, it was an- nounced by attorneys that no satisfac- tory arrangement could be agreed upon and that the attempt to end the suit had failed. ~Following this annource- ment the taking of testimony was re- sumed. The Gunters are roung and have two children. The wife alleges that her husband has been drinking heavily and when intoxicated has treated her cruelly and that on one occasion he drove her out of their home at mid- night shortly before the birth of their first baby. She also says that on a $20 weekly salary he played the races and got so badly in debt that he owed $350 after the season and ,that she had to g0 to her sister’s to live in order to give him a chance to square up. The proposal to compromise came from him to-day. Attorneys on both sides of the case and Judge Ellsworth all endeavored to arrive at a satisfac- tory conclusion, but the young wife said she had lost confidence in her husband’s ability to reform or to keep the promises he made and refused to consent to any compromise looking to the resumption of marital relations. Testimony in rebuttal was then taken and the case submitted. Judge Ellsworth will render a decision next ‘Thursday morning. —_——— WILL DEDICATE NEW FIELD.

BERKELEY, Nov. 3.—The dedica- tion football rally is to be held to- morrow night on the new California field, when the contractors are to have the bleachers completed. Electric lights have been strung across the field under the direction of Professor Cory. Great bonfires will supply ad- ditional light and " stimulus to the rooters’ enthusiasm. “Co-eds” have been extended an unusually warm invitation by Eugene Hallett, chairman of the rally com- mittee, to be among those present at the bleacher rally to-morrow night. “I hope,” said Hallett, “the co-eds will feel their presence is desired, but I also hope they will permit their es- corts. to leave them on the bleachers while the men join the rooters and e part In the serpentine, afterward joining the ladies in the special sec- tion to be reserved for them.” The annual ax rally is to be held on the night of the 5th inst.

The Re- publican, party has nominated three men who have been tried, whose rec- ords are before the people and whose honest administration of county af- fairs justifies the party in again sub- mitting their names for tite votes of the people—C. F. Horner in the First District, ¥i. D. Rowe in the Fourth District and John Mitchell in the Fifth District. These three men have been cam- paigning their respective districts, and ! the character of their meetings has been a guarantee of the outcome of next Tuesday's election. These meet- ings have been large, of the most en- thusiastic kind and have been a hearty | indorsement of the administration of the candidates. To-night there were two rallies in the district represented by John Mitch- €ll. The one at Milton Hall was in Mr. Mitchell's home section, and was large- ly in his interests. There were ad- dresses by Charles E. Snook, attorney for the Regents of the State Univer- sity, and Peter J. Crosby, while Mr. Mitchell himself said a few words to his ncighbors. Mr. Mitchell was in- Jorsed most heartily. ‘The West End Colored Republican Club gathered to-night at 1636 Seventh | | street to listen to addresses by prom- inent Republicans. The colored people of Oakland declared for Mr. Mitchell for Supervisor. Alden was invaded by the Republ can hosts last were made by P. M. Fisher, J. W. Jones, Mark Streiter, Peter J. Crosby and John Mitckell. There is very lit- tle question about this portion of Mr. Mitchell's district. The largest meeting that has been held in the southern part of Alameda County took place last night at C terville, the home of Supervisor C. F. Horner. Hon. J. R. Knowland, the Re- publican nominee for (Congress, was present and said a few good words for E. K. Strowbridge, the Republican nominee for Assemblyman In that dis- trict; J. G. Mattos, the Republican nominee for Senator and Supervisor C. F. Horner. Both Mr. Horner and Mr. Mattos are residents of Centerville, and they were given an ovation. i) i- Supervisor H. D. Rowe has an easy | fight. Ile has ably represented his dis- trict for eight years and has been in- dorsed by his'own ward, the Seventh, in royal style.
