TELLS WHY WATER
BOARD RESIGNED
Major McKinstry an Important
Witness in Tevis«Bulletin
Libel Case
Says Engineers Refused to Be
Confined to Bay Cities
Company's Scheme
**When the board of examining engi
neers appointed by former Mayor
Echmltz to lnvestigrate and determine
the merits of fi\*e proposed water sys
tems for the city of San Francisco
learned that two weeks' time was
daemed sufficient in which to reach a
conclusion, the board as a whole and
es individuals tendered their resigna
tions.
% "Information also came to the mem
bers of Schmitz* specially appolntea
board that all projects presented for
investigation by the members of the
water committee of the board of su
pervisors were to be eliminated, with
the exception of the Bay Cities water
company's scheme. We knew then that
ire could not serve the people of San
Francisco to their best advantage and
thip. too, prompted our resignation."
These statements made by Major
Charles H. McKinstry, civil and mili
tary engineer of the United States
army, on the witness stand during the
proceeding's of the Tevis-Bulletin libel
suit before Judge Dooling yesterday,
were the most Important that have
been made, aside from the promises of
boodle by Ruef to the board members,
as testified to by former Supervisors
Phillips. Wilson and Gallagher.
"Were not reports by engineers fur
nished you at the time covering the
different projects to be investigated
sufficiently complete so as to have led
you to pass upon the quantity and
quality of the water to be supplied the
city in the case of adoption by the
people?" asked Hoff Cook, assistant
district attorney.
REPORTS AND MAPS IXCOMPLETE
"The reports and maps and other in
formation that we were given were
very incomplete, aside from those re
lating to the Bay Cities company's
project," replied Major McKinstry.
Asked as to what amount of water
could be supplied the city, according to
the reports of the Bay Cities sclieme.
McKinstry said that, assuming tne
facts in the reports to be true, the city
could at once avail itself of about
€0,000,000 gallons a day and that ulti
mately the supply would reach 200,
000.000 gallons a day. Following this
McKinstry said that according to In
structions contained in communications
from the mayor any investigation made
by the board of engineers would of
necessity require from six months* to
one year's time.
Questioned further by Cook, the wit
ness replied:
"It was our understanding that we
\u25a0were to select from the projects pro
posed that which would be the best for
the people of San Francisco. As pro
fessional men we could not Justly de
termine this unless we were given
ample time. • While there was nothing
in the reports upon the Bay Cities I
echeme that indicated untruths, and de
epite the fact that we realized the re
ports had been compiled by men }n
the employ of that company, it was
our duty to make a personal investiga
tion before we could honestly state so
to the people of San Francisco. We
took It that the object was not merely
to find a project that would suffice for
the city, but to determine which was
the best for the city's needs. By elimi
nating the feature of comparison and
by limiting the time In which to com
plete the work. we saw that it would
be Impossible for us to fulfill our
duties to the best of our ability." \ \
ILL. FEELIXG TOWARD TEVIS "^1
Cook thereupon attempted to show
the existence of ill feeling between Mc-
Kinstry and Tevis. McKinstry replied
that he did not carry ill feeling toward
Tevis because he (McKinstry) believed
Tevis had sought to injure him, and
later said that one Mr. Bennett, whom
lie believed to be in the employ of
Tevis. had circulated reports to the ef
fect that McKinstry "had been reached
by the Spring Valley water company."
Th«» witness explained that this infor
mation did not reach him until long
efter the board had resigned, and that
lor that reason it was impossible to
bave influenced him in any manner
Prof. C. D. Marks of Stanford uni
versity and Andrew M. Hunt, who were
appointed on the Schmiu board with
McKinstry. corroborated the testimony
of the latter.
Among the other witnesses on the
stand yesterday wap former Supervisor
James L. Gallagher. The latter mere
ly repeated the testimony of Phillips
end Wilson, also former supervisors on
the, water committee during the
Schmitz administration, to the effect
that Ruef at all times prepared the re
ports on the water question, drew- up
the resolutions and urged the passing
of. the water project of the Bay Cities
water company, on the grounds that
the time was ripe and there wjbuld be
a. larger sum of money in It for the
board members than there had been in
anything' that had come before the
board." Gallagher added the Informa
tion that there was never a dissenting
voice axncttg thA members of the board
of supervisors then Jn office to any of
the suggestions made by Abe Ruef
relative to. any' of the water questions
. This statement on the part of Gal
lagher contradicted Wilson's testimony
to the effect that when he discovered
the resolutions -drawn up eliminated
consideration of the Hetch-Hetchy sys
tem \he refused to become a party
thereto. Gallagher said the elimina
tion of the consideration of the Hetch-
Hetchy system was done only for the
purpose of making room for the con-
Elderation of other schemes, and "that
at tha, time It was so regarded by the
members of the water committee and
the other supervisors.

NEW GUARDIAN IS
GlVEN "BAY JOHN"
Mrs. Martin's : Power. Over His
Estate Is Revoked by ;
' Judge Graham
Curious Eyes Probe Curls to
Obtain Glimpse of Boy's *
: Pate Below '• V
By an order, of Judge Graham "Baby
John" Martin was taken • from . the
guardianship of his mother, Mrs. • Isa
bella J. Martin, and Arthur* J. Todd; a
probation officer "of the court, 'w-as ap
pointed, guardian in her stead under -a
$50 bond. The appearance of "Baby
John" at the ; Grant building.; in .the
afternoon . attracted a crowd ' of curious
onlookers that almost rivaled in: size
the crowd that followed? the principals
in the Hanbury. divorce -N suit. • The
sharp eyes of some of the onlookers
discovered that "Baby John" wears a
wig, his own, mouse colored hair being
completely covered with a -mass -of
artificial dark brown curls. .
The suspension of Mrs. Martin as
guardian was on the ground of her un
suitableness -for the position and her
mismanagement of his estate^ Attor
ney Frank J. Hehnessy : read the peti
tion of Todd, which had been prepared
at the request of the boy. setting forth
that Isabella Martin had been Indicted
for arson in Trinity. county and for, the
malicious use of explosives in Alameda
county. It was also stated; that-' for
30 days she had refused to make a re
turn of her management of the estate,
consisting of a lot and two houses in
Alameda county worth $8,000. : ;
E. J. Hall, district attorney of Trin
ity county, testified j that the boy - was
in' custody, on a charge of arson.. He
said he intended taking "Baby John"
back to Weaverville, and that Mrs.
Martin would be brought here Friday.
A. J. Todd said he was willing to act
as guardian, and the boy also took the
stand and testified that he was.wllling
to have Todd appointed his guardian
in place of his mother. Mrs. Martin's
letters of guardianship were thereupon
temporarily suspended, she being given
10 days to appear in court and show
cause why they should not be revoked
permanently. "Baby. John" shook
hands with his new guardian and went
away with Hall. . .
"Baby John." accompanied by De
tective Hodgkins and District Attorney
Hall of Trinity county will »go to
Weavervile today. -....,.. . . ...^t-
Among the witnesses who will be
subpenaed at the' trial of Mrs. Martin
is Edward Hoffman, a" son of the
woman, who lives in Genoa street in
North Oakland. He has had no ' con
nection with the case so far.

THE EMERSON-ANGELUS PIANO
1§ There are more delightful features embodied in the Elmer-
son- Angelus piano than can be ; found in any- other player-piano
in the world, except the Knabe-Angelus.
fl The union, of the Emerson piano with the favorite Angelus
piano-player has been so _ skill fully, so artistically accomplished,
as to have produced a combination of piano and piano-player so
dainty and' beautiful in.its appearance, so perfect in its musical
effects, so simple of control and so of operation as to have
won the immediate admiration and endorsement of the most
critical musicians and the enthusiastic approval of the" highest
skilled technical workmen in the piano world.
