The Leg- islature of California smoothed the way of transfer by the enactment of a law au- thorizing the board of ‘directors of the State home to convey title to the General Government. The board of managers of the national home has now made its statement to Congress. General M. T. McMahon, pres- 1dent of the bcard,-has written to Gen- eral Samuel W. Backus, president of the board, and embodied in his the statement submitted to Con- gress. It is obvious that the national board is not enthusiastic. The number of reasons why Congress should hesitate will surely create some comment in Grand Army circles. The national board in its report to Congres ¥y ““While the beard has general authority under the. organic act of March 21, 1866, letter to take and hold real estate for all the| purposes of the home, nevertheless it does not feel authoriZed to establish a new branch of the home on the Pacific Coast | or elsewhere, without the express author- ity of Congress. Moreover, ‘the board is unwilling to advise as to the policy of ac- cepting homes now owned and maintained by the various St and the acceptance of the home at Yountville would be en- tering upon such a policy and establish-. ing a precedent which would be urged. in regard to many lesser homes in other States wnich maintain but a very small number of men, and would entail, i transferred to the board of managers of | the national hqme, a vastiy dispropor- tionate expense. WATER SUPPLY NEEDED. he property owned by alifornia at Yountville is well adapted for the purposes of a home ber of men heretofore maint: ned there has averaged about The water sup- | ply, which has been a source of great difficulty, worry and expense at all of the branches of the home, is not up to the Standard required by the board of man- agers for the health of the men and the sanitary condition of the home. Assur- ances have been given that it can be {amply increased at moderate expense. Such assurances, however, touching water on the Pacific Coast, must always be re- ceived with caution. “The chief reason for acquiring the home at Yountville would be because of its distance from any other branc | of the national home and of the nat- |ural climatic advantages which it | presents. It is but gliree hours' travel from San Francisco in the Napa Val ley and well adapted in every respe for the purposes of a home If there | could be had sufficient assurance of a plentiful supply of water. In this re- spect, however, the most important consideration is, Will the Congress of the United States desire to enter upon the policy of acquiring the State homes and how far sghould it extend? “Should Congress enter upon such a policy and decide: to accept the Napa Valley Home as part of the sys- tem of the National Home for Dis- abled Volunteer Scldiers it 1s suggest- ed that, in view of the language of the California statute heretofore guot- ed, an enabling act be thorizing the board the National Home, as a.corporatign heretofore created by Congress, to take the title and accept the property for the general purposes indicated in the approved respectively , and March 21, 1866.” ING AWAY APPLICANTS. In going to fornia %oard, George McMahon, under date of December 27, 1905, writes: “Referring to your request to be ad- transmitting a copy of the fore- the president of the Cali- vised as to what course your board of directors ghould take under the ex- isting circumstances I do not feel at liberty to give any advice or make any suggéstions on the subject, as the dis- position of the matter appears,to be entirely dependent upon the action of €ongress.” It is understood that the California del- egation in Congress Is nearly if not quite unanimous in favor of transferring the institution at Yountville to the National Government, as there is only one branch of the natfonal system on the entire Pa- cific Coast, and that branch, near Los Angéles, is constantly turning away de- serving applicants because its facilities for taking care of the veterans are al- ready overtaxed. The paragraph in the national board's statement to Congress in reference to water on the Pacific Coast,’ and the sug- gestion therein that ‘‘assurances touching water should always be received with caution,” must have been suggested by the board’s experience in efforts to obtain an adequate supply of water at Los An- geles. When the home was established in Los Angeles County assurance was given to the board of managers that a water supply ample and permanent would be furnished. The promise in this respect was not fulfilled. At great expense the Government is managing to obtain a lim- ited supply of water, but reports now come from the south that the city of Los Angeles is preparing to take all the water available. General Franklin, ex-Governor Martin of Kansas and General Black of Illinois, who were on the board of man- agement when the national home was es- tablished in Los Angeles County, would have accepted a site in the Napa Valley or in the Sorbma Valley if the sponsors for the southern site had not guaranteed the required volume of water. —_——— Rapid Writers take kindly to the ‘‘Waterman,” ‘Conklin Self-filling”” and the ‘‘Marshall $1' pens.

Two more notorious crooks were gath- ered in by the police last night. The men are Andrew F. Pico and Arthur Watson. Captain of Detectives Burnett says they | | are the pair who have been so success- | ful in making moderate hauls from house- | wives and merchants during the last two months. They were caught at Tenth and Howard streets shortly after § o'clock last evening by Officers John J. Conlon and George Brown. The patrolmen were standing at the corner when Mrs. Lennon, 728 Shotwell street, happened along and pointed out Pico and Watson as the pair who had stolen a parcel of clothing and valuables from her home a short time before. Both men protested their innocence. They were in jail but a few minutes when Mrs. Charles Hanson, 1327 Folsom street, called at the City Prison and pos- itively identified them as the two men who had got away with a purse con- taining several dollars and a quantity of Jewelry from her some days ago. Captain Burnett says Pico and Wat- son have been working the “merchandise game” on shopkeepers for several weeks. Their scheme is to rent a room and order & bill of goods at a downtown store to be sent out C. O. D. When the mes- senger arrives with the goods, one of the pair gets nim to go across the street in order to have a bill changed. While this is going on the other picks up theM package and walks away. with it. If this sort of game is not profitable enough, the police say that Pico and Wat- son are not at all averse to taking what- ever they can lay thelr hands on when they rent a room. The police have been in receipt of complaints for many weeks from merchants and housewives, but the men have managed keep out of the clutches of the law till last night.
