AUXILIARY SYSTEM
NEARS COMPLETION
Last Pipes for Fire Apparatus
Are Being Laid in Business
District
OAKLAND, Nov. 10.— The salt wa
ter auxiliary- fire system on which the
city is expending $104,000 will be com
pleted and. in .use within. a.' month—The
laying of the final stretch of distribu
ting pipe in Fourteenth street, from
Franklin to Washington, is now under
way. The Franklin street main is in
place, and the Washington street pipe
is now being placed and covered.
The pipes lead from the pumping
station at Lake Merritt near Fifteenth
and Fallon streets to the business sec
tion, and are distributed down Frank
lin and Washington streets to Second.
A surplus of the original appropriation
has been diverted to extending the
auxiliary for additional protection of
the manufacturing district between
Second street and the water front.
A pipe is also laid in Eighth street
between Franklin and Washington, to
give more water in case of fire in that
part of the retail district
Extensive additions to the system
are contemplated by the city admin
istration. The city council will prob
ably be called upon next year to ap
propriate money to extend the dis
trict eastward to Webster street- Next
year also a pipe is to be laid connect
ing the Webster street main with the
estuary at the Webster street bridge,
so that In the event: of a conflagra-.
tion the fire tugs can pump water into
the system as reinforcement of i the
Lake Merritt pumps.
i The pressure from the system will
be sufficient without the aid of .fire
engines to. throw a dozen 'streams of
water over the tallest building in the
business district. .
WOMAN SUES FOR LAND
DEEDED FOR HER KEEP
/Nephew Promises to Comply
\Vhen Repaid Expenses
OAKLAND, Nov. 10.— Sued for the re
covery of a small property in Linden
street by his aunt, Mrs. Elizabeth
Whelan, who is 75 years of age, . W.
H. Williams offered to comply ' with
her demand if-she would' pay $500 for
her care during the last two years.:'
Mrs. Whelan complained that he -had
accepted the V property on condition
that he should care for her during her
life, but that he had failed to make
good. * 4
.She said that her- sister, Catherine,
was killed two years ; ago in a; train
wreck, and that,; being alone, she had
made the arrangement with Williams.
Her suit followed an alleged violation
of the agreement.
Williams said that he had lived up
to his contract," but that old age had
rendered his aunt so changeable. that
she was growing harder to please every
day. His disposition to settle in return
for his expense .of keeping her led
Judge Ellsworth. to believe that a com
promise would be effected and he con
tinued the trial-one week. .

ALL MERCHANTS TO
GIVE FULL MEASURE
Failure to Comply With Law
Will Cause Arrest, Says
Food Inspector
. ALAMEDA, Nov. 10.— The merchants
of this city will be given until Monday
by Dr. Tom Carpenter, food Inspector,
to secure correct .weights and
ureg. Failure to comply with the. law
by that time will lay 1 dealers liable to
arrest. In the future goods sold in
bottles marked "pints" and "quarts"
and which do not hold the quantity in
dicated will be , sold , as "bottles" with
the measure of capacity marked off.
According to Dr. Carpenter the
wholesalers and not the retailers are
mainly responsible for the practice of
giving short measures and weights in
bottles, cans and cases. "
"I have found, that it is. not as a rule
the fault of the retail merchant,, but
the fault of the wholesaler that vol
umes and weights are misrepresented,"
said the food inspector.
."The retailer buys from the whole
saler and is compelled to take the goods
as they are put .up,; which' in instances
means \u25a0• that V there is a shortage in
weight and volume. Restaurant keep
ers and liquor dealers who sell liquors
in bottles will be given ample opportu
nity to remark: their goods. I do not
anticipate that any of our merchants
will fail to comply, with the law. After
Monday I will begin ; inspecting to see
that the law is being obeyed."
