SAVING The WATER,
Waste From the Aims use Wells
Stored in the Reservoirs

Waste From the Aim II use Wells
Stored in the Reservoirs
superintendent Reddy OF the Aims
house has undertaken TO save a large
amount of water rom the twelve artesian
wells on the Almshouse Tract that for
years has been going to waste. These
wells were bored q long time ago and sunk
to depih of from fifty to eighty feet in
the canyon that runs into the hills 10 the
east of Lake Honda. While all Twelve
are 1r e-howing wells, the water rises but
little abJve the surface of the ground
When first made they were arranged with
catch basins, into which the overho W
went. and, although the wells yielded
about 100 0J0 gallons q day. there was a
large amount of waste that escaped into
the surrounding ground.
To save this waste SCperintenden mt
Reddy ran trenches to the main pipes
which he tapped with pipes that carry all
OF the water 10 the reservoirs, thus saving
all loss and getting three times more
water to the reservoir than before. The
consum ntion of water at the Almshous e
is about 25. 900 gallons day, which if pur-
chased from the water company would
cost the City fully $500 mont. A large
quantity of water from the Aim house
reservoir is being used to sprinkle ana
harden the macadam OF The new Balboa
boulevard.

appeared TO answer a charge Of disturbino q
the peace. There was also a charge of
battery against Mahoney and a similar
charge against r. f. VanderpooI, a saloon
keeper at Ninth avenue and II street in
the Sunset district, who is also a hackman
at the Haight and Stanyan streets en-
trance to the park. The cases were con-
tinued until tomorrow.
Sunday afternoon about 5 O'Clock
Mounted Policeman T. J. Connell was
passing FanderpooPs saloon when Aherne
came out and struck his horse on the
flank. He then grabbed hold OF the

and Aherne replied with abusive lam
guaEe ConneIl dismounted and fol-
lowed Aherne into the saloon to arrest
him. Aherne showed fight, but after a
hard tusSle Connell succeeded in putin q

Walter J. r. Bartlett, a friend OF Con-
nell. held his horse while he was in the
saloon, and after Conneli left with his
prisoner Vanderpool and Mahoney came
out of the saloon and attacked Bartlett

STATE-PRIHTI TING MUDDLE
Serious Troub e May Com
When Sample Ballots Are
Required.
After July I tn Vexation and Con
fusion in the State Government
Will Begin.

Ar endless train of vexations is sure to
follow the closing of the State printing
establishment. So far the complications
have hardly begun. The appropriation
for the support of the establishment will
not be wholly exhausted until July next.
Alter that date there will be no money ior
the department
The Attorney. General when asked Mon
day what the result would be when the
sam pie ballots were ordered TO be printed
for distribution said that he feared to ex-
press an opinion on the subject.
The question is regarded as a serious
one and the Attorney General does not
underrate its impor tdnce. When the
time comes for action in the premises
some means may be adopted to comply
with the law, put at this time it cannot
be said what will be done. In the matter
OF holding general elections the law pre-
scribes certain forms to be observed and
any radical departure from the regular
form may cause any mum ber OF election
contests
After July the various departments OF
the State government must get their
printing work done in some way. P rhaps
Deficiencies can be allowed TO cover this
item of expense. The general allowance
for maintaining State offices and public in
stitutions did not coutemn ate the exren-
The San Francisco call., 1897-06-16

, diture of any money for printing, and it
is not clear how any contracts can he
made with private concerns unless bv
agreement OF the parties doing he work
to wait for their money until the Legisla-
ture allows il. Even in that event the
authority to create a deficiency or liability
must rest with the State Board OF Ex-
aminers.
So many complications may arise that
the Governor may be forced to call an
extra session of the Legislature to undo
the mischi f which was wrought bv his
i'll temper and lack OF judgment.
The State Agricultural Society recently
sought to use some OF the money appro-
prIated for It's support in publishing crop
reports for transmission TO Washington
and general distribution, but the Atto--
ney-General ruled against the diversion
of the money. 1t had been the custom of
the society 20 send its reports to the
State Printing Office, but the Governors
veto prevented The State Printer from
doing The work.
The subject was brought to the atten-
tion of W. G. Harmon, Chief of the
Weather Bureau, who consulted with the
authorities in Washington. Yesterday an
order came from Washington directing
that the crop reports be printed in San
Francisco at the expense OF the U nited
States Government. The work will be
put in charge of Alexander Meade, local
Forecast Official.

ARE STILL HELD
IN QUARAN I TINE.
The Para Was Released,
but the Passengers
Are Held.
Arrival of the Rio de Janeiro
Gave Rise to Several
Complications.
When the Para's Passengers Are
Released the R o'S Asiatics
Will Be Fumigated.

The Pacific Mail Steamship Conn pany's
City OF Para was released from quaran tine
yesterday. but the cabin passengers and
those in the steerage are still on the
island. 1t was at first intended to keep
the steamer in quarantine five days, bur
circumstances alter cases and when the
Rio de Janeiro got in from Hongkong and
way ports yesterday it was found to be
absolutely necessary to release the City of
Para. The Rio de Janeiro has on board
1S2 Chinese and 3S japanese, all OF whom
have to be fumigated before they can land.
As the quarters for the cabin and steerage
passengers on the island are occupied, it
was thought better to keep the Chinese
and Japanese on the Rio and allow the
City of Para to come out of quarantine.
In spite of the fact that cholera is
prevalent in China, and that, of late, no
Chinese have pe en- allowed 10 land until
they and their effects had been fumigated,
the Rio de JaneIro s now alongside the
wharf wi all her coolies on board. True
they are Kept on :he outside part of the
upper deck of the steamer, and guards
are placed ov,r them to keen them from
siraying, but nevertheless they are con-
stantly in contact with the crew of the
vessel, the bulk OF whom are coming and
going bet Ween snip ana Wnar-.
On board the Rio de Janeiro there are
between fifty ami sixty Chinese bound for
Central American ports, and when the
City of Para docked last night they were
at once put abOard her.
When the Para's passengers are released
to- morrow the steerage passengers on the
Rio de Janeiro will be taken to Angel
Island and fumigated.
The cabin passengers on the island are
clamorous TO be released, and some of the II
say hard things a boat the quarantine Off
GERS. What would they say If DO Asiatics
had been dumped among them?
Before the City of Para was allowed 10
leave Angel Island the officers and crew
and the cargo were ali iumieated. Sailor
Jackson, who had a relapse last Monday,
is still in precarious condition, but every
effort is being made to save his life.
The quarantined men AM women from
the City of Para are having 4 hard time Of
it 10 kill time. There is nothing 10 10 bat
fish or ioll around, and as tney cannot
wander very far from the station on ac-
count of the Gordon OF sentries placed on
the ridge of the hill by the military au-
thorities their lie is not a happy one. To-
morrow, however, they will be out OF
their misery, and then they may have
something 10 say for themselves.

MURDEROUS HOODLUMS.
They Beat Sailor Into InsensibiIity
and Then Throw Him Into
The Bay

The festive hoodiums who make life dis
agreeable to all in their neigh borhood have
been carrying on in a most threatening
and dangerous manner lately near the
Oceanic dock. Sailors who are going to
and from their vessels especially are made
the butt of their attacks, which usually
result in bruises bioodshed and robbery,
if not worse.
In the case of Albert MotInger, who is a
patient at the Receiving Hospital. the
toughs nearly committed murder at 4
o'clock yesterday morning.
Motinger was on his way to his vessel,
the schooner Annie, when he was pounced
upon by half dozen rowGies who were
hanging about a saloon at the foot of
Folsom street. The sailor tried 10 pro-
tect himself but he was overpowered and
terribly beaten. The few coins and
iewelry he had in his possession were
taken from him and he was thrown into
the bay.
Policeman Smith was attracted by Mot
inger's cries for help and while he pulled
the dro wning man to shore the hoodlums
made their escape.
