The maximum amount will be suf- ficlent for a population twice the size of that of San Diego for the next ten years, ;‘.nd the price is 4 cents a thousand gal- ons. The system with which the city will be connected is one of the most complete In | | the country. The lower Otay dam has at | j the present time enough water to.supply ! the city for two years, and with the ¢om- | pany's otber reservoirs filled, as they probably will be this winter, the supply will be ample for five or six yvears, even if no rain at all should fall. The work of connecting the system with the city will be begun at once, The headwaters of the system are located in the region of Southern California’s great- est rainfall, and it is felt that the great- est obstacle to a large city growth has | now been removed. —_— e i il)ln‘er From Christmas Displays d | Decorations. 1‘ To the Public: Your attention is| | hereby respectfully - called to the fact | that the introduction about premises of | | Christmas greens, harvest specimens |and other inflammable materials. such as cotton to represent snow, and the like, introduces an additional hazara not c emplated by the underwriters in issuing policles of indemnity cover- ing the usual fire hazard, and in this | connection we refer you to one of the conditions of the standard form of fire | insurance policy, wherein it is stipu- lated that: “This entire policy, unless otherwise provided by agreement Indorsed hereon or added hereto, shall be void,” “if the hazard be increased 4 means hin the control or knowledge of the insured.” In addition to the danger to property from displays referred to, the danger to 1ife in crowded stores or places of meet | ing by reason of a panic occasioned k ire, even though it be -small and controlled, 1% so great that the writer who have made a study of such hazards, would only be partly fulfilling their duty should they fall to | give warning.

Delegation From Territories | Meets With Very Cordial‘ Reception in Washington | WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—Joint state- hood for Oklahoma and Indian Terri- tory was furthered to-day in one of the most novel performances ever in the National Capitol building. A delegation, 150 strong, from these Ter- ritories called to pay Its respects to Senator Beveridge, chalrman of the Committee on Territories. The com- mittee room could not accommodate all of the visitcrs and the Senator received them inthe corridor and addressed them there. The overflow occupied the stairs leading to the marble room, one of ‘the semi-sacred precincts of the Senate. Those stationed in this eleva- tion led in cheering the Senator, who complimented ‘the people of the Terri- tories and promised they should not be digappointed in their desire for state- hdod. The prettiest scene of the entire pro- ceedings was at the close, when Helen Renstrom, a 15-year-old girl from Ok- lahoma City, sang three verses from “Oklahoma,” the joint statehoogd song. By this time it seemed that half of the habitués of the Capitol, including’ a namber of Senators, had been atiracted by the.gathering. When the girl had finished, s8énator Beveridge shook her hand and complimented her, as did other Senators. Statehood boomers from Oklahoma and Indian Territory received much en- couragement to-day from Reprasenta- tives at whose committee rooms they called. Representative John Sharp Williams, the minority leader, in ad- dressing the delegation, said he would do all in his power to have Oklahoma and Indian Territory admitted as one ate, providing their admission is not coupled - with the admission of New Mexico and Arizona. Representati Hamilton, chairman of the House Committee on Territories, assured the delegation that statehood will doubtless be granted at this ses- sion. The delegation ealled on Speaker | Cannon.

Sandal- Bramsen, concert singer and wife of the first cellist of the Pittsburg orches- tra, has the temerity and moral courage to defy fashion and soclety by discard- ing corsets and hésiery to wear “bare- footed” Grecian sandals. Mme. Bramsen, since she came to Pittsburg with her husband from Nor- | way a few weeks ago, has been the cause of comment and go! circles and elsewhere characterized _as - “eccentric.” and has been What- enacted | “Oklahoma” for Speaker Cannon, he congratulated her on her beautiful | voice and said: p in musical | ever her odditles of dress or her unor- | thodox points of views nevertheless, one of the most interest- ing characters before the Pittsburg pub- lic to-day. She has shocked certain persons because she does not wear stockings in the house and bécause she | has never worn corsets, either on the | stage, the concert platform or in her home. But it is not only in unconvention- alities of dress that the singer s con- spicuous. She is one of a very few women who ever made a trip to Lap- land, the northernmost inhabited part of Burope, and sang before an audience of enthusiastic Lapps. This, by the way, was on her wedding trip, just after she was married to M. Bramsen several years ago. Speaking about her methods of dress, the singer explained that she thought corsets abominable and was greatly shocked at seeing so many American women wearing them. As to hosiery, she wears it rarely indoors. Just as much care of her feet as of her hands. Instead of shoes indoors, she at times wears sandals. She makes all her own clothing. In the house she wears the typical Norwegian dress of the better class of inhabitants of that country, but she never adopts the picturesque comic opera style of peas- ant attire. STANDARD OFfL GETS CON TROL. Peabody Will Be Elected President of the Mutual Company. NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—The Mutual LifeIn- surance Company passed fnto the control of the Standard Oil to-day by an agreement to elect Charles A. Peabody president of the com- pany at Wedneeday's meeting of the board of trustees. This makes the second of the *big | noon train, and upon his arrival the other three!' that has passed into hands of the Rocke. felley.Morgan-Ryan combination since the up- heayal in life insurance business. When the time 18 ripe for sweeping out the McCall crowd from the New York Life it is expected that the same combination, through'George W, Perkins, head of the Morgan forces in the board, and James Stillman, head of the Rockefeller forces ‘among the trustees, will also swing that com- pany into the hands of the triumvirate. ‘Aroused to fever pitch by fear of Charles H. Hughes becoming president ot the Mutual Life, H. H, Rogers_ head of the Standard Ofl forces in’ the fight. turned looge his war dogs on the trustees of the company to-day and hefore busi- ness was ended he had a DI majority of them pledged to vote for Peabody at Wednesday's meeting € ©On: of the trustees of the Mutual who all along through the internal fight has been prom- inently identified with the reform element, and who admitted to-day that circumstances which he could not explain in detail compelled him to vote for Peabody on Wednesday, sald that the great menace in the situation would be a rush of Mutual policy holders with their proxies to Thomas W. Lawson of Boston. With a Standard Oil man at the head of the Mutual it is feared Lawson will make headway in the South and West, which have heretofore regarded him with suspicfon. There was eome falk to-day of Leslie M, Shaw, Secretary of the Treasury, being placed at the head of the Mutual, but unless all of the plans made to-day are unexpectedly changed Peabody will be the man. ———————— NORTH AGAIN NAMED. ‘Will Continue an Commissioner of In. migration..
