SPRING VALLEY TO
BE SUED BY CITY
Attorney Long Will Seek to En
force Rights of the Public
Against Water Company
Service Demanded in Low Pres
sure and Outlying Districts
and More Fire Hydrants
Three suits are to be instituted] by-
City Attorney Long to' compel the
Spring Valley water company to re
spect the city ordinances and the terms
of Its own franchise. The first is. to
compel the company to build a water
tank in the low pressure district about
Fulton street and Parker, avenue, as
promised; the second, to give adequate
service to the outlying districts; the
third, to put in the 200 new hydrants
ordered by the fire department, .
Assistant City Attorney George
Lull, who is working up the cases, has
been in communication for several
days with Supervisor Johnston, chair
man of the water committee. Material
for the first suit, he said yesterday, was
found in the proceedings- of the Ruef
board of supervisors shortly after the
fire. The water rate , is fixed on the
basis of a fair interest on the com
pany's investment.
Among the items added to the com
pany's statement in 1906 was one for
$4,168.54. At the time Gallagher asked
Captain Payson what this was for. Pay
son answered -that it represented the
water tower the company was to erect
in the district between the panhandle
and the old cemeteries. Pressure was
so low there, Payon explained, that
second stories, could not be served. -
"This condition Is true now," Lull
went on to say. "The company has not
placed in the improvements lor which
it asked an additional income,' nor
made any attempt toward bettering the
service.
"In Bernal. heights the Excelsior
homestead. Sunset and Richmond dis
tricts the water-supply is far below
present needs.
"The plea that it can not afford the
expenditure is taken away, from the
Spring Valley in the language of the
charter. The rate is figured as a fair
return on all money invested. What
ever may be expended in extensions
will be considered when the rate is
fixed next spring."
Sales Manager Wallace of the water
company informed the fire. commission
at its last meeting that the Spring
Valley would not install hydrants at
the present rate, although the city
bears all the expense of their Installa
tion and pays the company $2.50 a
month for each additional hydrant.

the Pacific and the Home telephone.
But hereafter there will be but one

awarded to the Pacific telephone com
pany on point of service.
DICE SHAKING AT CIGAR
STANDS IS PERMITTED
Chief Cook; lssues an Order to
Company Commanders
The police commissioners -decided
Thursday night that an injustice had
been done cigar dealers ,. by insisting
that they must not allow dice to be
shaken in view of the public, and as
a result Chief Cook yesterday sent the
following order to company com
manders: . .
"I have been directed by the board
of police commissioners to inform you
that it is the opinionof the board that
section 1 of ordinance 546, prohibiting
games of chance and throwing of dice,
excepting In certain places, does not
prohibit the throwing of dice in any
cigar stand or other place of business,
provided, of course, that the proprie
tors of such places of. business or the
employes do not participate In the
shaking of dice, and that no money
shall be charged for the privilege of
shaking."

Gerßß!umn for Brunette*— What the
blues are to the blonde, the geranium
pinks and reds are to the brunette.
The genuine- brunette, dark eyed and
dark haired, with a clear, pink and
white complexion, may choose any
tone from the faintest pink that tips
the geranium blossom to the richest
This rule does not hold good with the
fair brunette, who has only the least
flush of color in her cheeks, for bright
vivid scarlet would kill the delicate
tints. The pale tones of salmon and
coral pinks are effective and : at the
other extreme a very rich deep red, in
clining to' claret. -
The creamy brunette will Uook her
best in very pale choral pinks," bright
poppy, deep crimson and name c010r. ..
Then there is the sallow, or olive
skinned brunette to whom genuine. pale
pink "will "be- fatal. • But she can wear
deep," dull rose red, old rose, wine \ red
and crimson, and all. these shades 'are
included in; the term geranium.
This class of brunette can not suc
cessfuly wear the light blue shades.
Indeed, deep navy is the only blue. she
should ever attempt and : that always
needs a relief of 'some kind In. order
to make it successful. • The fair and
the true brunette 'may choose almost
any shade of blue and find it becoming,
but the paler, creamy type,, will feel
safer if Ivory .or pale -. lemon lace is
arranged about the- neckV
In the case of the between color type
much depends upon; the eyes. •:- •;
If 'these have :a : tinge- of : green in
them- then the paler shades of blue
should be avoided and the tones of pink
chosen Instead. : ;^ ~, '-V* - \u0084 \
'.!\u25a0 If, however,-- the .eyes are blue, gray
or brown, and -the complexion ; fairly,
good, . then either .pinks, or -blues, will
be an equal success, and personal taste
may, be gratified."..": ' " ". "
Deep dark' blu«s • will ba becoming -to
this "type," no : matter, xwhat shade; the
eyes may be, and -the same may be said

THE S^ "F^^
Wiley B. Allen Company
Holds Open House Today
Interior, of Wiley B." Allen company's new downtown store, to
; the public today.
NEW PIANO STORE
READY FOR VISITORS
Wonderful Exhibition of Musical
Instruments Will Please
Great Crowd
For the thousands of men and women
who have watched with commendable
pride the reconstruction of the down
town business section there is ,in store
an additional pleasure today when the
Wiley B. Allen company opens formally
its great new store in Kearny and
Sutter streets. The building itself—
large, airy and. conveniently located to
the needs of the people— will delight
the passerby. The stock, however,- will
be the main attraction. Actual count
shows that there are 526 pianos housed
in the magnificent 'new store; some of
them especially designed by the master
piano firms of. the world for today's
exhibition. Besides this piano . stock
there is a department which includes
everything in the ' : way: of phonographs
of such variety and design that will
become both the palace and. the humble
cabin. _ . : . '
Speaking seriously George R. Hughes,
the assistant manager, said yesterday
that he believed that the new Wiley
B. Allen store was the handsomest
store in this city. He stood on' the
mezzanine balcony as he made the re
mark, .overlooking the magnificent:col
lection of pianos resting on the maple
floor and pointing out the-masslve sim
plicity of the; architecture, the ..white
columns, crowned, with -decorations of
gold, the airy, sanitary, spacious com
partments . where the executive and
clerical forces were busy at work mak
ing . all things ready for today's • glo
rious opening.-
There are, of course, outside of the
general stock of a high order, several
instruments that will arrest the vis
itor's attention to a marked degree. A
Knabe grand, which is valued at $2,800,
built especially for today's exhibition,
is worth, in itself,? a visit to the new
piano store. It is of a (type character
istic of the period of Louis XV.: Scroll
carvings and polished panels, selected
from hundreds of beautiful Circassian
walnut trees, add elegant raiment to
the sounding board and stringing, the
finest the Knabe house could produce.
Other instruments from the factories of
Hafdman, Conover, Packard, Ludwig
and Krakauer, arid? uprights from
America's best jj makers ; are spread jf on
the large floor _space of -the new house.
The new building will be thrown
open at 9 o'clock this morning. .Gen
eral Manager. Frank Ayreys has ,promißedißed, prom
ißediBed that; the stock of the house will
be shown unreservedly to the visitors.

SLOT MACHINES AS
CAUSE OF DIVORCE
Now that They Are Abolished,
Alma E. Olsen Takes Back
Her Husband
'The antislot machine law more than
justified itself yesterday. It brought
about \u25a0 a reconciliatian between an
estranged husband and wife. Alma E.
Olsen got an interlocutory decree of
divorce from Ole T. Olsen, a carpenter,
June 11. The burden of her complaint
against^ him was that he spent his time
and his coin playing the slot, machines,
to the neglect of his family.
Meanwhile the ordinance abolishing
the slot machines had gone Into effect.
At : a loss what to ido with his spare
time, Olsen's thoughts- turned to his
divorced^ wife. Seeking her» out", he
reminded her that his great. temptation
to neglect her had - disappeared and
promised to behave as a husband
should.
Mrs. Olsen, remembering Judge Gra
ham's advice to take back her husband
before the decree became ; final, listened
to Oles words,- and the result; was'that
yesterday by . a signed , stipulation j the
decree was vacated and the suit dls-

.1 of Shelton, j Conn.
•-. Beard '\u25a0 \u25a0 was ~ in
specting a new
. state, road a short
time • ago, * arid
drove out on It in his Mitchell car. In
turning around on a heavy fill, the top
of which was soft dirt, the dirt caved
and the machine went over -the bank
and .into, the bed' of -a <creek : 15 feet
below, . landing bottomside up. Beard
writes: "We had 25 men working on
the .road, so, with the assistance of
some of them, we turned the machine
over and procured; a pair of; horses,
drawing it up. out of the brook and
back on the road. The fenders and hood
were somewhat dented, and the front
axle sprung, so that the right hand
front ; wheel -stood under at about an
angle of 45 -degrees, and the steering
wheel was badly damaged. I cranked
the machine, and it started oft! all right.
I ran it on'to'East Lynne village, about
a mile \u25a0? from .. where the accident oc
curred, where there was a- blacksmith;
took off the yheel and straightened the
axle. - Then continued to; New London,
and came back to .Shelton that after
noon, making a run of about 75 miles
after the accident.", '

TWO WOMEN CLAIM
LITTLE MINTO GIRL
Mission Worker Wants Child
Taken From Chinese Mission
to Associated Charities
Two claimants appeared for little
Alice Minto, or Mah Ho, when the case
came up yesterday in the Juvenile
court, but Judge Murasky said he would
take two weeks to decide what should
be done with the child.
Mrs. Claudia Schad, who says she is
a mission worker among the Chinese,
came Into court and demanded that the
child be taken away from Miss Don
aldina Cameron of the Presbyterian
mission and given to the children's
agency of the Associated Charities on
the ground , that a white child should
not be associated with Chinese.
Miss Cameron, who was accompanied
by her attorney, Henry E. Monroe, said
that she had had a long conversation
with Mah Lin and Mah Chee, or Chin
Chee, the Chinese foster parents of the
child, and. they had agreed to make no
formal application for letters of guard
ianship.
Miss Cameron said . that she felt.it
would be an unkindness to the' child
to- place her in- a white family just
now, as she has no knowledge of Eng
lish save" the few words she has learned
sinee 5 she has been at the mission,
where she has daily lessons. Moreover,
she is accustomed to eating Chinese
food entirely.
At Mrs. Schad's request Miss Mc-
Carthy of the children's agency was
called to Judge Murasky's desk and
asked if she thought she could find
a satisfactory home for the little waif.
A week from \ Monday Miss McCarthy
and Miss Cameron will meet in Judge
Murasky's chambers to consult : In re
gard to the matter.
The most pathetic feature of the case
is the deep grief of the Chinese pair.
When the child was brought to them
she clung to the Chinese woman with
every demonstration of affection.
No member of the Wltchie or Minto
family was in court or • represented
among the claimants for the child.
