BROBECK TRIES TO
DODGE HIS OPINION
Haven Insists That Report of
Opponent Is Good Argument
for Bond Issue
Validity of Hetch Hetchy Vote
to Be Decided by Seawell
• -, \u25a0
Before July 1
W. I. Brobeck's report to the Com
xnoovrealth club on the question of tbe
Hetch Hetchy water project, made
March 13, 1307, was a busy little bee
yesterday morning in Judg« Sea well's
court, and Assistant City Attorney
Thomas E. Haven sent .it back again
I and again to sting it.* author. Just as
jhe did at the Wednesday afternoon
session of the suit .brought, by Bro
" back's disinterested clleat. Root, to en
join the sale of preliminary bonds.
Brobeck, in his closing argument,
flar*<l the insidious little insect and
donned a cap of innocence through
which he hoped that the bee's delicate
weapon could not pierce. He oontended
modestly that the report %v prepared
by H. U. Brandenstein, although he
did not dodge his share of responsi
bility. He insisted that It applied to
an academic aspect of the question
and that in its full meaning "available
source of water supply" referred to the
plant and distributing system, as well
as to the source in itself. ~
BROBECK'S OI'I.MOX QUOTED
But Haven was first on the ground
with the Brobeck opinion of two years
before the self-admitted "dummy."
: Henry Root, had, formally, at least, re
i taixied the attorney to* fight the city's
; movement ' to" secure an available
I source. Haves offered the Brobeck
' opinion to the ', court as an authority,
not in a judicial, bat in an argumenta
tive sense.
"The gentlemen who prepared the
report to the .Commonwealth club,"
Haven said, "were well qualified to
pass on the points. Brandensteln was
; retained on the board of supervisors
for years against his personal wishes,
owing to his knowledge of legal mat
ters appertaining to the city govern
ment. And counsel (Brobeck) was
on the side other than that he now
occupies for 15 years in the city attor
ney's office."
Just at noon the case was submitted.
The arguments were so full that In
stead of briefs the attorneys agreed to
submit the transcript of the proceed
ings. Ten days were permitted by the
court in which to file citations of au
thorities. Haven wanted to expedite
the final settlement by agreeing to sub
mit the authorities within five days,
but Brobeck had other work to do and
secured the longer time. Judge Seawell
said that he would endeavor to have
the decision in the matter prepared
before July L
ARGUME.VT OX PUBLIC UTILITY
Haven continued his address yest«r
day morning. He made the point, sup
ported by Brobeck's earlier view, that
the acquisition of a source of water
supply is in itself the acquisition of a
public utility— tnat the source is the;
utility and the development of the
work comes under the head of con
struction. He said:
"The plans of * development may
change^ — there is the possibility of the
purchase of the Spring Valley's entire
plant. That would change the city's
plan. The charter provisions are ample
to cover this acquisition. If it is a
fraud to acquire the land for a source
of water supply the city is without au
thority, as it now is doing, to buy fire
boats lor pipe casing as a part of the
equipment which will go to make an
auxiliary fire fighting system. Does it
rest in the hands of a tax payer to say
'You are bonding the city for $600,000
and I am being outraged because you
are not bonding the city for $43,000,
ooor"
"The electorate wouldn't have voted
$43,000,000 bonds," interrupted Bro
beck.
"They 'would tomorrow by a greater
majority than last November, and it is
a suit like this that would force them
to do it," responded Haven.
Assistant City Attorney John T.
Nourse presented the legal authorities
touching the validity of the bond issue. ;
There la Work for Everybody
You may think differently, if you are
out of employment and— getting dis
couraged, but it is true, nevertheless
Have you tried every means -in I your
power to get work? You can't expect
an employer to know what you can do
unless you tell him. « You can't see
them all personally, and the ones you
don't see may be the ones that' could
use you., But, If. you insert a little ad
in the Employment Wanted columns of
The Call, for '10c , you can tell your
story to thousands of people who hire
help, and some one of them will want
your services. Give it a trial — others
find It pay*, "why not you?

THE SAy iFRANCISCO C^LL, } FRIDAY, JUNE 4, 1909
PASTOR WIIL ARGUE
INFIRMARY MATTER
Rev. Charles N. Lathrop to Pre=
sent Case Against Board
of Public Works
Contractor Condon Testifies
That Clinton Fabric Costs
More Than Steel Rods
The laat ' witness in the hearing be
fore Mayor Taylor of the charges of
the good government league against
the members of the ' board o"f public
works In connection with the construc
tion of the infirmary building was ex
amined yesterday afternoon. Argu
ment was set for Tuesday afternoon at
i o'clock. Attorney Milton U'Ren, rep
resenting the: good government league.
Intimated that Rev. Charles N. Lathrop
would open the argument for the
league.
Attorney Matt L Sullivan, represent
ing the Condon-MoGlynn construction
company, which Is erecting the build
ing, presented a letter written by Holla
V. Watt to the civic league and a reply
written by Wlnfield Williams for the
league. Watt tendered his resignation
because the league had not taken up
the charges against the board.
WILLIAMS FAVORS CONTRACTORS
Williams replied that the controversy
was evidently due to the disappoint
ment of materialmen. He added that
the contention of the good government
league of favoritism and inferiority of
work was without merit. He con
sidered that the building was being
erected in strict accordance with the
specifications.
Daniel F. " Condon, the contractor,
when called by U'Rren, produced a
check for $2,031.97, which had been paid
to the Clinton fabric concern for the
reinforcing material used in the build
ing. Earlier in the hearing U'Ren
suggested that a rebate might have
been allowed. Condon testified that it
cost more, to use Clinton fabric than
twisted steel rods, the figures being
$2,258.74 for fabric and $1,961.60 for
rods for he infirmary.
WITNESSES DISPUTE FIGURES
Frederick Littlehale, who was con-
nected with the Clinton fabric people
until a few months ago, testified that
tests of the fabric showed an average
of 34,000 pounds, while the guarantee
was 60.000. In response to a question
by the mayor he admitted that he
was. not. now. on good terms with the
Clinton concern.
John G. Little, a civil engineer who
came here after the fire, testified that
fie considered the rod construction su
perior, but a severe cross examination
seemed to confuse him.
John B. Leonard, who is associated
with General Backus, the president of
the Western expanded metal company,
took issue with Supervising Architect
Jubb on the estimated cost of twisted
rods for the Infirmary. -His figures
were $3,142. or $1,180.40 higher than the
figures prepared by Jubb. It developed
that Leonard figured on 50 per cent
more- steel than did Jubb.

Holbrook Blinn,. although. a native of
San Francisco, has never appeared in
his home town as a profesional actor,
and this In spite of the fact that for
several years he has been one of the
foremost players of this country. It
has "just happened" that his stage
tours never led him as far west as his
home city. He comes, however,: with
Mrs. Fiske in "Salvation Nell," which
will bo produced Monday night. June
14. at the Valencia theater.' His ap
pearance as leading man in this notable
production will add Interest to the sea
son in San Francisco. He plays the role
of Jim Piatt. " ;v": \u25a0\u25a0
Blinn made his. first big succeess in
London several years ago, when he ap
peared, strangely enough.- in "The First
Born." which was a play by a San
Francisco writer, and produced for the
first time at the Alcazar theater An
other success was achieved by Blinn
when he played in "The Cat and the
Cherub." Soon afterward he left Lon
don and appeared successfully in New
York, and since that time his career has
been a growing record of successful
and artistic achievements. .
Other San 'Francisco players in Mrs.
FJske's company are Charlotte Thomp
son, the authoress, whose stage name is
Mary Madison, and Hope Latham, who
is appearing In the role of a gin with
a nameless existence.

Henry T.Tricou of 852 Grove street, a
prominent- member of, the ladies' or
ganization. Mrs. Tricou said that in
1904- she- proposed her - friend, -' Mrs*
Blumenberg, ; for 'membership, .and the
matter went* before the investigation
committee. In a little > while" newspa
per clippings began \to arrive from
anonymous. sources telling of raids by
the police on Blumenberg's vicious re
sort known as the! Nymphia, and of
his arrest and imprisonment.
The investigation cdmmlttee there-:
upon; notified the membership commit
tee that Mrs. Blumenberg could not be
accepted and her name was with
drawn.
Mrs. Blumenberg: stated to the court
that she had been practicably ostra
cized from decent society because of
her husband's, character and .conduct.
Good men and women refused to asso
' late. with her, she said.
Testimony was given by Sarah A.
: Oliva, mother of Mrs. Blumenbergr, that
the defendant had stated he could
make a great deal more money but
for the ; scruples of his wife. Mrs.
Oliva burst : into tears as she told of
the humiliation to which she and her
daughter had been subjected by reason
of association with Blumenberg.
Former Chief of Police Wlttman tes
tified as to raids made on the Nymphia
and the arrest of Blumenberg. He
recalled the circumstance that Judge
Graham, now presiding in the divorce
trial, while on the police bench.'sen
tenced Blumenberg* to six months' im- i
prisonment. - / . . \u25a0 « '
Mrs. Blumenberg was given permis
sion to resume -her maiden name, Caro- ,
line R. Parker. Her; attorney, J. J. .
Dwyer, explained that she "would earn ;
her livelihood by teaching tbe piano.

divorce by Judge Mogan from Stephen
Tarisky, stated that her husband aban
doned her in\ New York with $1.30.

saitl; she still loves her husband and
always will lore him.
