One Peculiar Result of
the Adoption of the
New Charter.
There Is a Deficit of $94, 900,
and the City May Not
Run in Debt.
Financial Dilemma Caused by the
Failure to Provide for Cur
rent Expenses.

SAN JOSE. CAL, Oct. 2.-Unless strin-
gent measures of retrenchment are
adopted at once by the City Council the
city government will be bankrupt and its
credit seriously impaired. Under the
present expense account there will he a
deficit OF $e4, 900 for the six months end
ing January 1. Thi, financial dilem N a
has been brought about by the new
charter, which limits the city tax rate to
81 for every 500 OF taxable property.
When the new charter was framed the
Board of Freeholders failed 10 make pro-
vision for the running expenses of the
city for the half year i'm mediately tol-
lowing the inauguration of the new char
ter. The matter was not forgotten but
was passed over Intentionally, as it was
feared that any attempt TO raise or ex-
pend money outside the dollar limit would
defea. the adoption OF the charter. When
the charter went Into effect on July l all
the funds were practically exhausted, and
this has necessitated the city being run on
a credit system until the next tax money
becomes due in Decem m Der.
None of the city employees have received
cash since July, but have been paid in
warrants, which they have been COM
PEELED to shave at the banks. Unles
some system of retrench ment is adopted
and money raised 50 that the city can
start at the beginning of next year free
from debt 1t will be necessary TO lag be-
hind in its payments for tho next ten
years, or until the cash basis fund is sutfi-
cient to meet all indebtedness. The now
charter does not allow the city to run in o
debt, so retrencnment and economy i'll
be i'm lucrative.

any assistance.

PRESIDENT EDWAhDS DEP0SED.
Head of the University of Washington
" 0usted for Teaching
MaterIaHsm.

SEATTLE. WASH. Oct. 2.-The Board
of Regents Of the University of Washing
ton to-day dismissed President w. f.
Edwards, charging him with insubor-
dination. Professor c. F. Reeves was
elected president pro tenn. The vote dis
missing President Edward. stood: For
oIsmissal,4; against, 9. Regent Hous on
was absent Those opposing dismissal
were Regents Hayden and King.
President Edwards, IN speaking of the
action OF the regents, said:
The present crisis in the University OF
Washington is due solely to a misunder
standing of circumstances by some men,
oers of the board and the deliberate plot
ting OF others to bring about my removal
as president OF the university. | deny in
toto the charges of insubordination and
changing the catalogue. or that students
have been melted to revolt by mo-
Regent Hayden was directed by the
board 10 take immediate steps to fa6 a
suitable man to become president OF tn
univer sity and report to the board. The
question of how many credits should be
required for graduation degrees and di-
plomas was referred TO The committee on
instruction 20 be taken up with the fac
ulty OF tho university next week
f.. The facts that credits were reduced
from 200 in 1896 10 $50 in 1897 has occa-
stoned the opposition to crehlts for physi-
cal exercises, and it is believed II the
credits were restored to 300 as a require
ment for graduation no such objection
would occur.
The upheaval in the faculty of the Uni
.verslty OF Washington was caused by the
issue: rs man controlled by a divine
soul or the human brain? p" President
Edwards. who was formerly of Ann Ar Dor,
was really dismissed for teaching mate
rlalism.

WATER COMPANIES At WAR;
Los angeles Suit Involving the Legality
of tho Riato Irrigation
District.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Oct 2.-Another
bill in equity concerning the legality oil
an irrigation district has been filed in the
United States court. This time the
Riaito irrigation district of San Bernar-
dino County is involved, and il cidentaiIy,
the Semi Tropic Land and Water Com
pany.
The Chlcala Water Company brings
suit against the Ria.to irrigation district.
in San Bernardino and its officers and
directors, alleging that the irrigation dis
trict has no legal existence and that all
its acts and all the bonds issued are null
and void. The complainant alleges that
it is an Iowa corporation, now transact
ing business in San Bernardino; that q
heavy burden on its lands has been ini-
posed by reason of assessments by the
Rialto irrigation district. and that its
title has been clouded by the pretended
sales of the lands to pay these assess
ments. The Chicala company prays to
have the Rialto irrigation district de-
clared null and void primarily for the
reason that the petition to the Board of
Supervisors for its organization was not
signed by fifty freeholders owning land
in ths territory included in the district a,
the time of its organization.
