DR.. Creasinger Makes Some
Startling Assertions.
The City Water Company Given
a Shaking Up.
What the People of Los Angeles Pay
for Water.
Ten Dollars a Year for Each Inhabitani
the Average-Has the Company's
Franchise Been Forfeited?
The Quality OF the Wa
ter Questioned.

The Citizens Water company is not
the only one which is arousing the ire
of Los Angeles residents. People who
live out Twentv-fourth street way are
kicking quite vigorously about the sup
ply of aqua pura which dribbles out to
them from the pipes OF the City Water
company.
A HERALD reporter yesterday met DR..
S. P. Creasipger, who lives on Twenty
fourth street, and the latter remarked !:
81 see the HERALD is making war
upon the water sharks who are supply
ing this city with water"
eyes," acknowledged the pencil
pusher, 1--WE have been showing up the
Citizens Water company little. How
is the water out your way?"
"Abominable, responded the doctor
forcibly. "Simply abominable. 1t is
neither good in quality nor sufficient in
quantity. Why, between the hours OF
and s, both morning and evening, we
can get no water at all, and there is the
barest possible dribble the remainder of
the day." als
"But the City Water company has
always been supposed to be giving satis-
faction"
"Look here,' responded the doctor,
"there are lot of things which people
don't know about the water business.
Let me tell you something"
The reporter disposed himself to lis
ten, and the doctor proceeded.
''The people OF Los Angeles are paying
mole per capita for water than the peo-
pie of any other city in the United
States. There is paid over to the water
companies every year $40 for each man,
woman and child in the city. The City
Water company alone takes nearly $780,
600 each year, or did SO last year.
The City Water company is author
lied to take nine inches of water from
the Los Angeles river, for which they
pay the city $4O0. They supply water to
an amount which requires them to have
ten feet of water--note the difference.
Now, how do they get this water ?
Why, up at a place a
few miles up the river they
have bought place called Crystal
Springs, where they have dug bitches
and tunnels in such way that they are
filled with the seepage from the river,
and here they capture the water which
they do not pay the city one cent for,
and to which they possess not a shadow
OF claim. a
"The water company has forfeited it's
lease many times over, and if the city
does not condemn its property and take
charge itself of the water works, il is
destined to take $3,000,000 out OF the
pockets OF Los Angeles citizens before
the lease expires.
"These sound like strong statements,
but have hunted up all the facts,
proved them, and know that what l
have said here is 80. have no hesita-
ton in making myself responsible for
the statements, either, if you want to
use them"

A CONDENSED SERMON.
THE CREED OF A CREEDLESs
PASTOR.
Rev. J. H. Phillips of the Peoples Church
Speaks of True Religion.

Probably there is no more popular
preacher in Los Angeles than Rev. J.
H. Phillips of East Los Angeles. The
founder of the East Side Congregational
church, his was the only church to
which young people in any great num-
bers were drawn. For four years he
was the pastor of that church, and with
drew only when his honesty as a man
would not let him assent to the doc
trines which he did not believe. Re-
Gently creedless church, called the
"Church of the People," was estab-
lished on the east side, and Mr.. Phil
lips called to the pastorate. The church
meets in Campbell's hall, which, twice
each Sunday, is filed with all classes of
people to hear the independent and
sympathetic young pastor.
Last Sunday, in response TO the state
ment that the church was not church
which believed in nothing, Mr.. Phillips
told the largest audience which has yet
listened to him, just what he did be-
lieve in. Following are few brief ex-
tracts from the sermon:
II will tell you what believe in now,
though cannot say it will be my belief
six months hence. 1 may grow dis
cover more truths; progress.
II believe in absolute freedom OF
thought. There is necessarily change in
religious views as there have been
changes in the methods OF the farmer.
From the sickle and scythe to the patent
reaper-what change! Must religion
alone stand still? The torture chamber
and the inquisition threatened the re-
former of the past the suspicion and
censure Of public opinion fall upon the
advanced thinker OF the present. 1t re-
quires courage to stand for freedom of
thought today as it did in the past.
81 believe in God; in that infinite
truth and light which we call God. My
God is not personal, unless you call the.
universe personal. God expressed him
self in the universe, but best in man.
81 believe in Jesus the Christ as the
human tabernacle in which God ex-
pressed Himself to man. I believe in
Him as the Messiah, as God. do not
believe in the trinity. ! believe in man
as the child of God and possessing the
nature of his father. Man is ignorant
of his father and OF his own possibilities.
i believe in the atonement. Not an
atonement which appeases the wrath
Of God, for God is not a wrathful God to
be reconciled to ue, but 2 father to

After Having Had a Conference
With Sherman.
He Makes a Statement Concerning
the Nations Finances.
About S1S,5OO,OO of the AZ Per Cent
Loan to Be Extended at Per

offered.
Associated Press Dispatches.

WASHINGTON, August 15.-Secretary
Foster resumed his duties at the treas
ury department this morning, after a
two weeks vacation.
The secretary made the following
statement today in regard to the refund
ing operations and financial situation
generally:
"About SIS, 800, 900 OF the AZ per cent
bonds will be extended and applications
have been received covering $4,000, 900
more. What the final outcome will be
of course / do not know. 1t is
probable that considerable por-
ton of the balance will be extended.
The treasury is able to pay those not
extended. Py the extension we succeed
ed in preventing decrease in national
bank notes, and have increased their
circulation nearly $5,000,O00 The out
look is that more increase will be effect
ed. 1 am not finding fault with the ac-
ton of the banks as much as may be in
ferred from recent publications. saw
Mr.. Sherman at Mansfield. The state
ment telegraphed from Mansfield re-
garding our conference is pure ro-
nance. While there is less money in
the treasury than for many years
past, it is in comfortable con-
dition, because the less money in
the treasury, it follows the more money
in the hands OF the people, thus facili
tating the conduct of the business OF the
country. We are on gold basis, and
there is no occasion for alarm as to the
ability of the government to maintain
this condition. The secretary has ample
power to maintain or increase the pres
ent reserve of gold. There are at present
no occasions for the exercise Of this
power, but should the occasion rise |
would certainly not hesitate to use it.
