2 Glimpses of Natives Disporting Themselves in Great Yosemite Park, as Sketched by Cartoonist Edgren that the company be allowed $2.50 in >tead of $2 for each hydrant. The amendment -was lost by the fol lowing vote: • Ayes — Broderick. Comte, McAllister, Pollok — 4. Noes — Booth, Center, Giannini, Jen nings, Johnston, McLeran, Murdock, Uurphy. Payot, Rlxford— lo. Pollok then moved that the 1902 Schedule be raised 15 per cent and the hydrant rate fixed at $3.50. Johnston moved as an amendment to the Pollok motion that the 1902 rate to private tonsumers be raised 12% per cent and that the hydrant rate be fixed at $2.50. He believed that th^se rates would give the company an additional revenue of tbout $225,000. and would perraitit to improve its plant so as to increase the laily supply from 35,000,000 t? 40,000, tOO gallons. Murdock, moved as a substitute pfor the Pollok and Johnston amendments % flat increase of 15 per cent over the 1902 rates.

This also failed to carry, the vote standing: ' Ayes— Broderick, Center, Comte, Mc- Allister, Murdock, Pollock, Rixford — 7. Noes — Booth. Giannini, Jennings, Johnston, McLeran. Murphy, Payot — 7. Johnston's original motion for a 12% .per cent raise was next voted upon and was lost by the fojlowlng vote: Ayes — Broderick, Comte, Jennings, Johnston. Murdock, Payot — 6.

The committee recommendation of the 1902 rates, with $176,000 added for water for municipal and hydrant pur poses, next came up on Murphy's mo .tlon to pass to print and was lost by a tie vote of 7 to 7.

"HIG«ERI)P"II|yGS WILL BE INDICTED Continued front Page 1, Column 3 our plans now, but it is certain that the .'investigation is to continue; until we land our man." 7 Burns ! had several members of his own^staff secretly at work Tn Oakland. Jaip.es;isall9.&her , spent ; almost ; theTen tire day at his wrecked house. He held a lengthy conference with his. partner, Architect George McC'rea, in regard to his plans for the restoration of the structure, and at its conclusion he an nounced that the work* of rebuilding the house and making it ready for oc cupancy would be begun Immediately. - "The house is not nearly so badly damaged as I thought at first," he said. "The front portion of the building is .practically intact and the founda tion was uninjured. We estimate that the repair work on the wrecked house and the one next to it, which was slightly damaged, will not exceed $5,000. The work will be pushed right ahead, and the house will be restored and completed as soon as possible. ' \A.t the time the dynamiting took place Mc- Rae was negotiating for the sale of the three houses and I lots, for which :,we asked $25,000. The deal was all but completed when the house was blown up. These are the only houses that I own on this side of the bay." \u25a0 Gallagher was inclined to be reti cent when asked whether he enter tained any fears for his personal safe ty in the future.' - v "I have had no warning in regard- to this outrage," he declared,, "but I have feared that some such thing would oc cur ever since the blowing up of the Schenck home, which, I am convinced, was intended as an attack upon \u25a0 my life. There is no doubt in my mind that the parties who placed the bomb In this house are the same who blew up- the Schenck residence. Dynamiting is .an offense outside the pale of ordinary crime, and it is inconceivable that these two dastardly outrages, the one fol lowing so closely. upon the other, could have been committed by different agen cies.">.

After hold- Ing a conversation with" Gallagher, Burns and his party drove off toward San Francisco in their automobile rand Gallagher soon followed in Ills machine, accompanied by." two ; men who were : at his side, throughout the day.
