. Mayor Warren Olney hv*s decided to
Brpear before the UnltW States Cir
iu:i tlourt aSonftrf the ccwivisel fcjr the
« Uy'in vhe water rates litisa-tion. The
Mayor \Vill make a personal answer in
it he suit, and besides, he purposes to
actively 'assist in the defense of the
City Council. This decision was reached
to-day after his Honor had read the
bill of complaint that has been filed by
the Contra Custa Water Company.
The Mayor explained that he Re
lieved it to be his duty to assist in the
litigativn as he felt that he was famil
iar with many detail* of the water sit
uation in Oakland that would be of
value to the city in meeting the claims
ut the wat^r company. Mayor Olney
b!so said that the service he should
render in the case would involve no
t oet for fees upon the city, as he would
he acting .as the official representative
tf-th€ city of Oakland, which, with the
City Council, is a named defendant.
After consultation with City Attorney
McElroy'a decision will be made as to
what the city shall do en Monday, the
time pet for the hearing in court on
the order to show cause why an in
junction should not be issued to pre
vent enforcement of the new rates. The
city -wilL ask for a continuance of the
hearing that sufficient , time may be
pranted in .which- to prepare the affl
¦ davits in response to the order to show
<" ause. The drafting of tnese affidavits
avlll necessarily- consume . some days.
\\ •'„* TWO CAUSES,
• The action brought by the water
company involves two proceedings. The
*fir*t applies to the injunction applica-.
ti«Ki*-and the -other goes to the main
cause — whether the jiew rates are un
just and mean a confiscation <rf the
¦water company's property.
Concerning tfifi case. Mayor Olney
eald to-day:
In view cf rrV position b.t Mayor I feel that
}Fhoul<i appear 'at «>oun**l. in the litigation.
»hairnl* an »*ffid.T.vit in my own bchair and
vhatl render all ' B«=lstahc*> possible in tlie
c»«e Hf-lir-p. Fatitined that the City Co-mcil
fca» acted fairly and justly. I'am ready to join
with the City Attorney In this suit.
His Honor also pointed out that
charges hah been made against him in.
the. complaint, touching his - attitude
toward the campaign for municipal
ownership of a water plant. These al
legations iwintouf that the market
%alu.e <if the Contra Costa Water Com
pany's stock fell from an average of
$75 a~ share during the three and a half
> ears "ended December, 1903, to $35 a
ebare during April, and May of ttiis
year. In its complaint the water com
pany, in this connection, recites:
• That" dnrtnjt the year 1U03 certain politicians
commenced an aritation in raid rtty of Oakland
In favor ofmunlrioal ownership of water
wortfy, and industriously and vigorously niiJ=

nifmbers of tbe t>M Council have threatened
tnd. intetiir to arbitrarily reduce the rates
which may be charred liy said ootnplainact
during th" Cucal year, and to make the rztes
tx» ur.reaj'Gnanly low that the value of ccm
platnant't? iiron»»rt3r will thereby be greatly
iTisened. to the' end that the said city of

- ' VALUATION RAISED. .
- The' water company has raised Its
valuation $1,500,000 over the $7,000,000
allowed by Judge Hart in his decision
four ' years ago. It . now demands 7
per cent net on a gross - valuation of
$£,500,000. Including a'n allowance for
or prating •rf'xpenRes and taxes, a gross
income of $S. r .O',000 p.Ius $E2,000 for de
preciation-of, a grand total of $932,000 is
demanded. On the basis that seven
eighths' of this Income is to come from
the city -of Oakland the amount would
be reduced to $S15,SO0. ' The company
clalms that .under' the new rate of
gros« income, , exclusive of taxes r and
opeimtlng- expenses, -will be only $401 -

Concert by Rowlands.
OAKLAND, June 2. — Clement Row
lands, who expects to leave for Eu
rope in July, will fcive a concert, at
Maple Hall on Friday evening, June
10. Mr. Rowlands himself would be
drawing card enough, but he will be
assisted by several talented singers,
including Miss Carolyn Crew, Mrs.
Carrie Brown Dexter and Frederick
Veaco of San Francisco. Mrs. Dex
ter's artistic work is familiar to the
public, but Miss Crew is not so well
known. It is enough, however, to
say that she has an exquisite lyric
soprano, which recently created quite
a furor when she sang before the
critical Wednesday Morning Club.
Mr. Veaco is a tenQr — in fact, one of
the very few real tenors on the coast.

Oakland seems about to realize Its
ambition for a new hotel that will
combine not only commercial: but
tourist features. The project was
launched last week at the annual
banquet of the Oakland- Board of
Trade, and nearly $75,000 was then sub
scribed in less than ten minutes. A
committee o£ citizens is in charge of
thework lzing a stock com.
and collectl 8ubscrIptlons. This
headed b c H KIn
ori&lnator of the plan> and , nci udes
we,,. k Oakland citizens:
wnHam G Palmanteer, manager of the
nes^ # ,,.¦-.¦',. jf-Vi
Cbloncl Irish had come prepared to,
disc Uss rather the advisability of bond
ing *he city for public improvements,
and >Sa5 heartily in favor of this*
"Anj-thtag thar .will tend to beautify
the c.ty and make it attractive for sei/
tiers 1 am in favor of, he said. Parks.
schoofeouies and good streets are
necessary to an up-to-date city.
JVRGUES FOR CITY'S OWNERSHIP
\ Troy in \answeringr ' this statement
mid that Ite'was not against public
improvements, but he- believed mu
nhtipal ownership of water works to be
of the first importance, and -was pre
partvl to speak on this part of the pub
lie improvement scheme. "Your other
schenv* can warL A new City Hall is
not ¦ a necessity, but. by,common-con
sent ad adequate supply of water is a
public n>eed and Is. entitled to prece
deace overall other puWic improve
ments. lV-day only six of the twenty
nine- towiw-jrf over 100,000 population
in Great Britain receive -water from
cities of moite than »0,000 population
onljtwo hav«t private water works."
" ' •
\V1IAT OTH1CR TOWNS UEARXKD.
The speaker quoted from reports on
municipal ownership in the United
States to show ¦¦ that as an investment
it was a good thing. .
In reply Colonel Irish said^that most
of the reports quoted failed to prove
anything. In none of the cities in this
country could it be told what the water
really cost the cities, as deficits. were
charged to the general fund and the
ta-xpayers. ''If. however." you , want to
prove this, issue bonds to cover the
plant you are to establish'and let them
not be a lien on the property of the
city. I have' no objection to your try-
Ing this and seeing where you will
land."

| Frank C. Havens, manager of the
Realty Syndicate; William G. Hen
shaw, president of the Union Savings
; Bank; E. G. Lukens, president of the

This commtttee has already got down
. to work and. announces that it has in
: sight subscriptions amounting to about
5250/000, or one-half of what is required
: to build the hotel. It Is, proposed to
have the full' amount where it can be
used before work is begun..
BOWDOIN' OOLLiEGE PROPERTY.
The general features of the. enter
prise have already been determined.
The proposed site is the former Mer
ritt property, a square block of land
bounded by. Jackson, Madison, Twelfth
and Thirteenth streets. This is now
owned by the trustees of Bowdoin Col
lege, to which It was. left by Dr. Sam
• uel Merritt. Bowdoin College is. far
away in Maine and has no use for non
productive property in Oakland. It
would rather have the money in hand,
and TV*. J. Laymance announced- to the
committee that he had secured an op
tion from the college upon the property
for $45,000, he to take his commission
out of that sum. The commission
amounts to $2000, and he offers the prop
erty to. the proposed. hotel company for
just exactly What the college has
agreed:- to take from him, $43,000. In
other vvrords, he. donates his commis
sion to the project.
j C. H. King last evening gave a din
ner to a number of prominent citizens
of Oakland, those present being- W. G.
Palmanteer, M. J. Laymance, W. B.
Dargie, H. C. Capwell, Charles J.
Heeseman, Bert Reynolds, Henry A.
Butters, Colonel J. C. McMullen, Dr.
H. G. Thomas, Charles E. Snook, J. C.
Klein, Frank C. Havens, A. H. Breed,
Erall Lehnhart and W. J. Laymance.
The hotel project was discussed from
different points of view, and it was the
unanimous opinion! of those present
that the movement should be started at
once. It was decided- that C. H. King
should be made the chairman of a com
mittee that would take the project in,
hand, Mr. King to. name his assistants
later. This was done this afternoon.
Within six months the Pacific Press,
the corporation that has proved a mine
-to the Seventh Day Adventist church
of this State, will be manufacturing
tits; wares: at Mountain View. A reso
lution) for this change was passedio
day at a business: meeting of the Cali
fornia Conference, of Seventh Day Ad
ventlsts. / ' ¦.--'. r-V-.-t."'
A building will be erected upon a
grant'of land" that has been made by
the people ; of ; Mountain View. As soon
as that building Is> finished the Pacific
Press will be moved from Oakland,
where it has been for twenty- five
years. It 1s proposed to dispose of
the old building at Twelfth and Castro
streets and also- th& church at Twelfth
and West streets.
The change is due to the sale of the
checkbook department of the Pacific
Press to a private corporation. The
church people in command of the pub
lishing company found that their con
tracts for checkbook tablets required
them to print many checks for saloons
and other questionable businesses' and
this was distasteful.
Acting on the recommendation of the
directors another resolution was passed
to-day calling for. the absorption by
the Paciflp Press of the California
Tract Society,, which has always been
a separate institution for the sale of
books manufactured by the Pacific
Press. By gelling its own wares direct
the Pacific Press people will save the
middleman's profit and thus make up
the deficit threatened by the loss of
the checkbook department. Hereafter,
only denominational work will- be. car
ried on by. the* Pacific Press. '. .
The report of the committee on cre
dentials, which was, adopted, recom
mended that 'the following named be
ordained' as ministers: J'. W. Bagby,
Andrew Brorsen, M. H. Brown, M. E.

B. H: Howe.
The Lodi German church,, which was
organized, on May 24, was- admitted, to
the conference- by unanimous vote. The
church has twelve members and; thirty
Sabbath children.
A large part of, this afternoon was
devoted to addresses by members, of
the conference on the subject of health.
The speakers were Dr. B. F. Richards,
Dr. T. J. Evans, Elder J. E. Burden,
E. J. Bowen, Mrs. Anna Morrison, J.

FIRST STEP WILL
BE FOR A DELAY
Far and near she looked, watched,
and waited. One day, she says, a
psychic in Rochester, N. Y., told her
that Cunningham was in San Fran
cisco. Believing the story with the
fervor of a- devotee, she began inves
tigations and- finally discovered that
her former husband, still unmarried,
was a detective with Morse's agency
in- San Francisco.
She tremblingly wrote him the story
of her love; her long search; her
dream of: a reunion. Fervently she
implored him to recall the affection of
the long ago and begin life In mature
y^ars where they, had begun it in the
sunny hours of youtti.
The letter . deeply impressed the
lonely Cunningham, who had suffered'
in silence for half a lifetime, for often
in memory he heard the voice and
saw the face that had charmed him in
the long ago.
He could not wait to answer her ap
peaFby mail, but hastily replied to her
questions by a. long telegram — and
every answer was yeatf* -So it was- not
long before plans were madej for a:
Western trip, and on the shores of
the Pacific the old lovers : met "and
were married here to-day, brought to
getheras If by a- magician's wand.
After eighteen years of separation
under strange - circumstances, Robert
S. Cunningham and Clara M." Cun
ningham, his child-wife of - eighteen
years ago, were reunitecf at the altar
here to-day.
They were children together "at
Portland, Or., and he was a man of 22
years, she a child: of 16" when the first
marriage made them one. The cere
mony was without her parents' con
sent and they had' the marriage an
nulled. Cunningham, was broken
hearted and his: girl-wife "was. miser
able. But in time, their families and
they drifted apart and years sepa
ratedithem; from their great sorrow.
Often, in happy; dreams 'the young:
woman" heard the footsteps of her hus
band's return, and to discover him and
take up again the broken threads of
affection became- the passion of her
life.
