Mott has been offered the presi- i dency of the new People’s Water Com- | pany, which on January:2 will take jover the Contra Costa Water Company iand the Syndicate Water Company. | The Mayor has’the proposition under | consideration and has not decided whether he will accept what is under- |stood to be a most flattering recogni- ! tion of his high ability and popularity | in this eity. Detalls of the tender are withheld [both by the Mayor and by the con- | trolling_interests of the new company. | Mayor Mott -said today that until he | bad finally made up his mind and had glven a decision to the company he would refuse to discuss the subject in any way. He has had it under earnest consideration for . several days and | considers, he declares, the matter as not matured sufficiently to permit go- ing into detalls. Mott's confirmation of the report !that the offer to become the executive |head of the company has placed him in an enviable positron. He holds the confidence® of the community as few men in public or in private capacity have won the respect and esteem of | tne people of this city. His political | future, so far as his renomination and re-election as Mayor are concerned, is assured. AFTER THE MAYORALTY Tt is undoubtedly true that Mayor Mott will complete his term of office, ending March 31, If he shall decide to| accept the position of president of the| new company.. Upon that hypothesis | the political centers have been stirred | today by the report that the Mayor | will not be a candidate for re-election. | ‘With Mott out of the way there will be | a scramble for nominations up and| down the line. Dr. H. B. Mehrmann, one of the mout} popular and aggressive men in political | {life, is an avowed candidate for the| Republican nomination for Mayor, pro- | vided Mott does not run. Edwin Meese, one of the bcst Councilmen who ever | #at in the City Hall, Is a candidate un- der the same contingency. Outside of the present political as- pect the linking of Mayor Mott's name with the new water company lends | added interest to the change in owner- | ship of the old Contra Costa Water | Company, which for many years con- trolled the supply of water and also | took an active concern in the political | affairs of Alameda County. It is | strongly hinted in circles close to the | new water company that the control | of it will adont a new policy In regard | to its relations with the municipality. | The suggestion has been strongly put that one of the reasons why Mott was | asked to become president was that he% contended for high principle of opera- ! tion in all ot his public and private' dealings. . | HISTORY OF THE DEAL The People’'s Water Company is con- trolled by interests :largely connected with the Rezlty Syndicate and its allied corporations. The negotiations which | led to the sale of the Contra Costa | Water Company were commenced shortly after the opening early this| year of a contest in Contra Costa| County between the old company and the Syndicate Water Company for con- | trol of the watershed and the dam site on San Pablo Creek, Wild Cat Creek and tributaries. The Syndicate Company was aggressive. After got- | ting possession of a favored natural lo- cation for a dam on San Pablo Creek | the Contra Costa Water Company re- | taliated with injunction suits and these | | were followed by rapid charge and | counter-charge of law sults llhckln! title to lands in dispute and fairly | overwhelming the Contra Costa County | courts with litigation. In the midst of all this legal turmoil | the interests involved got together. The | syndicate people, represented by F. E. Havens, frank M. Smith, Louis Tltul| | of Berkeley and others, got into touch | with William J. Dingee, president of | the Contra Costa Water Company, and| a deal was closed. The People’'s Water | Company was incorporated by the syn- dicate interests to take over both com panies. This will take place January 2. Enough of the Contra Costa Water Company stock to control will be taken | in on a cash payment of $20 a share and | $50 a share in 5 per cent hondl of the Peogple’s Water Company." In his formal statement tonight con- cerning the situation, Mayor Mott sald: “Jt is true that the presidency of the | People’s Water Company has been ten- | dered to me. I have the offer under, consideration. No decision has been | reached as to my acceptance or rejec- | tion of the proposition. I am therefore | not in a position at this time to say what aection I shall take.” i { | | BIVES 3UGGESTION FOR GONFERENGE NEW YORK, Dec. 26.—At a meeting of the Board of Trade and Transporta- tion held here today resolutions were | adopted asking President Roosevelt to instruct the United States delegates to The Hague conference in 1907 to urge | favorable consideration of the follow- | in 1 plan by which The Hague confer- ence may become a permanent congress | of the nations, with advisory powers; | a general arbitration authority for the | acceptance of all nations; a plan for the restriction of armament, and if possible, for their reduction by eoncur- rent lntemtmut.l action.” - DIVINE DEFENDS 33 HARRY THAW SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

The theft was discovered at 4 o’clock this morn- ing by E. J. Rennell, a night collector of mail. The postal authorities have not as $et ascertalned how much mail was stolen from the box. The rob- bery of the mail box last night makes the third theft of its kind that has occurred here within two weeks. A box at the corner of Central avenue and Villow street and one at the ecorner, of Walnut street and Santa ave- nue were robbed two weeks ago. Postmaster T. W. Leydecker, with the aid of Postoffice detectives and the local pouice, is endeavoring to round up the mail thieves. The boxes broken and robbed here were rifled in the same manner as were the mall boxes in Oakland, the lock In each Instance being pried off with a jimmy or punch. Because of the similarity of the -| method used here by the mail robbers and the method used in Oakland the detectives working on the thefts in both cities are inclined to believe that all of the robberles were committed by the same persons. s eriinibe LRI MURDERGUS YAQUI VTTACK TOWN LOS ANGELES, Dec. 26.—Colonel H.

They made their plans known to L. V. Raymond, and selected a site of fifteen acres which is located along the water fromt on the Willapa River near the Ray- mond Lumber Company's mill. Before departing for San Francisco they arranged to notify Raymond by telegram If their plans materialize. A message arrived today requesting that the site be reserved and articles signed. at the little station of Lanche, on the C. Y. R. & P. Rallroad last Saturday afternoon. According to the statement of Max- son, his train stopped an hour at Lan- cho. While there rumors were received that the Yaquis were upon the war- path and that the few settlers in the neighborhood of the station and rail- road were in danger. The stationmas- ter, a man named Thompson, belittled the matter and sald he and his wife would remain at their post. The traln bearing Colonel Maxson and party had not left the station more | than an hour when the Yaquis de- scended upon the little party of Mexi- A come ! e cans and Americans and butchered four. Station Agent Thompson and his wife escaped by boarding a work train that pulled in at the time.
