SUPERVISORS IN
ANOTHER TANGLE
OVER CITY WATER
McCarthy Resolution for the
Condemnation of Spring
Valley Divides Board
Again 9 to 9
COMPROMISE FAILS,
THOUGH SUGGESTED
Action Is Postponed Until
Next Monday—Telegram
to Secretary Fisher
For the second time in tjie last two
weeks the supervisors split nine to
nine cm the water question yesterday
when Supervisor McCarthy offered a
;tion providing for condemnation
<>f SprhiK Valley. While the 18 super
visors were practically unanimous in
favor of condemnation, the preamble
of McCarthy's resolution was so ob
jectionable to Mayor Rolph and the
nine members who supported him two
weeks ago that they voted against the
entire measure.
Mayor Rolph and those with him de
clared the resolution in the form pre
sented would injure the city's chances
of getting the Iletch Hetchy permit
from Secretary of the Interior Fisher.
After an hour or more of heated ar
gument, in which the mayor expressed
his views, the board decided to post
pone action on condemnation until next
Monday. The McCarthy resolution,
which eiaisfed rII the trouble, read:
Mot AUTIIYS KKSOLITIOX
Whore**, *fter one year'f negotiation! with
the Spring Valley Water casipftti.v, tbe city ad
visory water f*omrnittee ha* MCB unable to Bβ-
I'urf a fair offer for the properO« <>f the Spring
Valley Water company, dwplta the fact that the
committee's last offer aggregated ia tbe minimum
*t leant 142,125,006; and
Whrreas., the i£pring Valley Water company
•lik |i*reui|i(ortlv- tirmitminl nepotiatlftiik wlt'i
trio city hj avoiitlug the reeignatitta of its aego
tt*t ing , nnnmtttee and by subsequently arbi
trarily repudiating. In ita refusal to accept the
rtate tx>ar»l of railroad commissioners, its offer
t<> arbitrate the value >.«f its properties befe»e a
fair ami Impartial board: tberefpr t< , It
Kp*«jtfved. tlt«t the city attorney is hereby tn
■tructei} t.i furnish the board of &ui>«>rvlsors. at
the earliest possible mouinnt, the firm of pro
cedure ti> be. followed in enn«!einnation proceed
ings for the acquisition af such holdings and
properties of the Spring Valley Water company
as may be necessary to acquire for a municipal
water supply.
It was McCarthy who led the oppcv J
sition to the mayor two weeks ago
\vh»n the latter's plans for purchase of
fpring Valley were rejected. The same
supervisors were lined up in the same
nine to nine fashion yesterday, thus
firmly <•stabllPhtHjf the aplit in the adr
ministration which developed, at that
time,
A'J varieties of parliamentary pro
were resorted to when the dead
lock became apparent, Supervisor An
drew Gallagher even suggesting: that
McCarthy's resolution be divided in two j
■ectlons in order to keep peace.
rOVDKMXATIOX RESOLUTION"
Then came Supervisor Bancroft's
resolution directing City Attorney Long
to institute condemnation proceedings!
Bancroft explained that the favorable
report made by the United States board
of army vnerineers an the city's Sierra
B mui!e it unnecessary to rush into
temnation proceedings at once.
"Wo are not likely to be ITeld up by
Spring , Valley now, and can go slower
tad more carefully, ,, he said. "There
fore I consent to the substitute offered
by Supervisor McCarthy, since his reso
lution doe 3 not go quite as far as mine
and will permit the necessary legisla
tion being enacted at Sacramento to
facilitate the condemnation suit."
Supervisor Vogelsang of Mayor
Rolph"s camp opened fire on McCarthy's
preamble.
"The resolution now offered is not
harmful,' , he said, "but the preamble is
unnecessary and unwarranted. I favor
condemnation, but the- adoption by this
board of the language contained in that
preamble- would not be helpful to the
Hetch Hetehy situation. It would create
a feeling that would do us harm."
Supervisor Giannini objected, pro
nouncing the statements true.
VOOELSAXG'S POSITION
"I don't know that they are," re
plied Vogelsing. lie took exception
to the statement of the preamble to the
effect that Spring- Valley had arbi
trarily repudiated its offer to arbitrate i
by refusing McCarthy's proposal two
weeks ago of the state railroad com
missioa as the arbitrators. He ex
plained that in refusing- the water
company had simply refused to let the
supervisors choose the arbitrators, but
had not declined to arbitrate in any
other manner.
A vote was finally taken on Hayden's
proposal to eliminate the preamble, the
result being a deadlock, as follows:
For the preamble—Bancroft, A. J.
Gallagher, George E. Gallagher, Gian
nini, Koshland. McCarthy, McLeran,
Murphy. Nolan.
Against the preamble—Caglieri. Hay
den, Ililmtr, blocks, Jennings, Mauay,
MunliH'k, Payot, Vogelsang.
Tht-n Hayiien moved that McCarthy's
resolution be laid on the table. This
motion was defeated, the vote being
10 to s. Jtnninjia moved on this bal
lot into the McCarthy rajika.
Ifayor Uolph explained that ft would
be possible to get the permit without
any Spring Valley conditions incor
porated in it, but that the language of
the preamble would not give Secretary
Fisher the impression that the city was
dealing fairly with Spring Valley, as
he had insisted the city should do.
Mayor llolph's remarks appeared to
have an effect on the opposition to the
extent that it was finally decided unan
imously to defer action on the con
demnation question until next Mon
day.
City Attorney Long and Cit> Engi
neer O'Khaughnessy left for Washing
ton morning to aid the sec
retary in the draft of the hoped for
permit. Mayor liolnh sent the fol
lowing dispatch to Secretary Fisher:
TELEGRAM TO SECRETARY
"We are rejoicing in army beard's
decision regarding Hetch Hetohy. Wβ
hope that you will have the necessary
time and that nothing will prevent
your immediately deciding in city's
favor and granting- permit. As your
prompt action is of such vital import
ance to our city and h great section of
California, we feel nothing should be
omitted by the city to lend every pas
sible aid. and, for this reason, with
out any desire tp Intrude upon you, we
nent City Engineer O'Shanghnessy and
Qity Attorney L,ong to Washington on
overland Limited, this morning, to be
on hand to answer .any questions likely
to arise while you have drafting of
permit under consideration. After
twelve years of hard work and u,n.
cc'asiHjf effort dispelling every argu
ment urged against us, we are now
anxious to get a Fisher permit that
will settle the question for all tirn.e."
The city attorney's office instituted
proceedings yesterday to prevent the
aupervisore of Tuolumne county from
celling for delinquent taxes the water
property belonging to San Francisco,
« and which the city claims is exempt
from taxes under the state law. Man
damus proceedings to bring about the
return of back taxes have also been
J -cyan. ,

can fathom for you. Take the bark of the wild-cherry tree, the root of mandrake,
stone, Oregon grape root, queen's root, bloodroot and golden seal, make a scien
tific, non-alcoholic extract of them with just the right proportion* and you have
poctor Fierce* Golden Medical SMscoirery,
It took Dr. Fierce, with the assistance of two learned chemists, eight years of
bard work experimenting to make this pure glyceric extract and alterative of the
greatest efficiency aad without the use of a particle of alcohol.
tJust the sort of remedy you need to make rich, red
blood, and cure that lassitude and feeling of nerve exhaustion.

SENATE PASSES HARBOR
BILL WITH $48,091,745
\nnua] Appropriation Measure, With
Item* Opposed by Tnft, Iα
Likely to Be Vetoed
WASHINGTON. Feb. 24.—The annual
rivers and harbors appropriation bill
was passed by the senate today after a
prtriensed fight. Amendments added to
the bill by the senate brought predic
tions that the measure would be vetoed
by the president, because they were In
direct opposition to hla expressed poli
cies. One of these amendments was
the Connecticut river dam bill, which
had been paesed by the senate a week
ago.
The bill, as reported to the senate
from committee, carried an appropria
tion of $48,091,745, an increase of
$7,318,787 over the amount authorized
by the house. Several amendments
adopted by the senate increased this
sum materially.
The bill of Senator Newlanda of Ne
vada providing for the creation of a
river regulation board to take over all
river improvement work was also
adopted as an amendment.

TAFT HASN'T ANY TIME
President Paoses Hetoh Hetcfcy Matter
to Successor in Office
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—Representa
tives Kahn and Hayes of California to
day urged President Taft to direct the
war department to issue a permit to
San Franclseo to use the waters of the
Hctch Hetohy valley. The president
said that the press of business made it
probable that he would be unable to
pass upon the proposition befpre he
left office.
HARRY THAW TO TESTIFY
Salscr Committee to Ask WUaf He
Knows of Money Offer
ALBANY, N. V., Feb. 24.—Harry K.
Thaw will be asked to tell Governor
Sulzer's committee what he knows
about the most recent attempt to pro-
his release from Matteawan state
hospital for the criminal Insane. This
announcement by the committee today
followed a bitter attack by William
F. Clark, lormer secretary of the com
mittee, upon what he termed "th« so
called prison ring."
TELEPHONE HATES
MUST GONE DOWN
Board of Supervisors Unani
mously Passes Ordinance
Making Reductions
Schedule Will Allow for a
Legitimate Growth and
6 Per Cent Profit
Giving the Pacific Telephone com
pany the benefit ef every difference in
estimates of its expenses during the
coming year, and allowing In addition
120,000 for legitimate growth during
1912, would still enable the company to
earn 6 per cent, declared James T.
Shaw, expert for the state railroad
commission before the board of super
vistors yesterday in explaining , the new
schedule of rates which he and the
telephone committee of the supervisors
had prepared.
After hearing his statement of the
case, together with a request from
President Henry T. Scott of the tele
phone company that extra, expenses
entailed by hlgrher wages and eick
benefits and insurance to employes be
considered, the board unanimously
passed the ordinance to print.
The new schedule prepared for the
year beginning July I, 1913, will cut
off about 1309,000 from the profits of
the telephone company, reducing the
present percentage from 8.25 to 6.1,
according to Mr. Shaw. The reductions
in business measured phones will be
19.5 per cent and on business prepay
ment 28.25. Residence flat rates were
not touched.
In reply to Mr. Scott's letter, read
by General Commercial Superintendent
P. H. Coolidge of the telephone com
pany, Mr. Shicw declared that the points
raised were not material to the ordi
nance.
'"A fair minimum of profit can be said
to be 6 per cent," he said, "and con
ceding , aJI the valuations set by the
company Itself this will still be re
turned under the new ordinance. There
is nothing In this letter to alter the
material points, and there Is x\tt a
vital point that has not been covered
in my work. There was a difference
of $122,000 in the estimates made by me
and the telephone men, but giving them
the entire amount, with aJI abnormal
expenses, a margin of |9,501 would re
main to the company'! credit."
Mr. Shaw eald it was found that
business men were paying from 6 to 9
cents for single switches in the down
town district, and that it was necessary
that this b»e remedied.

Causes Much Disease
Advice about Stomach Troubles and
how to relieve them.
Don't neglect indigestion, for It
may lead to all eerie of Ills and
complications. An eminent physi
cian one* said that ninety-flve per
cei L t . of / n * ,le have t^#,r origin in
a disordered stomach.
Our experience with Rexall Dys
pepsia Tablets, leads us to believe
them to be one of the most de
pendable remedies known for indi
gestion and chronic dyspepsia.
Their ingredients are eoothine; to
the Inflamed membranes of the
stomach. Itleh in Pepsin and Bis
muth, two of the greatest diges
tive aids known to medicine, the
relief they afford Iβ very prompt.
Used persistently and regularly
for a ehort time, they tend to re
lieve pains caused by stomach dis
orders.
Recall Dyepapsia Tablets help
Insure healthy appetite, aid diges
tion, and promote nutrition. As
evidence of our faith in them, -we
ask you to try them at our risk.
If they do not give entire satisfac
tion we wilj return the money you
paid uj without question or for
mality. Three sizes, 21 cents, 60
