PRESSURE UP TO NORMAL
No Danger From Fire Because
of the Accident at AlVa-
RADIOS Pumping Plant.
W. J. Dingee Explains How the Mis-
hap Occurred to q Very
Large Well.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, /
90S Broad way, Sept. %. (


According to President W. j. Dingee OF
the Oakland Water Company, there Will
be no need for The council to fear the re.
suit of frs because of a lack of pressure
in his company's mains.
About a week ago al accident happened
at Alvarado which caused the pressure
TO be materially reduced. Owing TO the
intense rivalry between the two water
panies, a great deal was said about
the accident, and at last nights meeting
OF the fire and water com mittee of the
Council, notification was ordered 10 be
sent 10 the company stating that the pres.
sure must be kept up.
This afternoon the force OF men at work
on he scene OF the trouble finished their
labors and tonight Mr.. Dingee SAYS that
al no time in the past twenty years has
there been more water.
The accident could not have been
avoided" :" said he, "because..lt consisted of
the collapsing OF Il well which is on the
main feeder which supplies the pumps
quantity OF rock sufficient to cover the
bea OF a creek rushed into the we'll and
by the force OF The water was driven into
the feeders. They hnd TO be dug out Of
the ground and supplanted with new pipe
III ord er to remove the gravel. However
il IS all right now. No harm has come OF
Il and we have taken precautions to avoid
as TAR as human ingenuity is able repe-
tition OF The disaster.
Had this happened during the winter,
when SO much less water is used than in
hot weather the general public would not
have been aware OF it. We feel very CRATE
iul 10 our thousands of patrons who have
borne with us during the past few days,
when we were at a disadvantage in the
great fight being carried on in this city.
To-night there is as strong a pressure in
the mains as in any main in the country"

GOV LEEDY IS 1RoN1cAL.
Wonderful Activity of the Republi-
cans Used Up All the Printing
Finds

Governor Leedy has signed the state
printing deficiency bill and in relatio
thereto sent the following message to
the house and senate this afternoon:
4 have approved senate bill No 1896
appropriating $4,000 to supply a def
cheney in the appropriation for state
printers fees. L have done so because
l hesitate at this time to veto this bill
because the failure of the apprODria ton
would seriously interfere with the pro-
ceedingS of the legislature when the
term is drawing to a close and there is
much unfinished business on hand, and
the delay consequent upon the veto
might seriously impede the progress of
Legislation and consume time that is
much needed for the consideration of
other things.
However, wish to call your atten-
ton to the manner of appropriating
money for this purpose and to suggest
some changes which think would be
in the interest of economy For a long
time it has been the custom of the leg
islature to appropriate and place under
the control of a printing board one
large fund for the purpose of printing,
leaving the supervision of its diSburse-
ment in the hands of this printing
board. without any limit as to the
number and size of reports.
In the past this has been thought to
be a sufficient check upon the con-
tractor and the various bureaus of the
state that order printing. Experience.
regret to say, has demonstrated that
TINS mSInOd mas not D6en successful,
and therefore we have to face the pres
ent condition. The Legislature appro-
priated a printing fund which was sup
posed to be sufficient to meet all proper
demands until July 1, 1897, the termin-
alton of this fiscal year; but on COM
ing into office on January Il, this ad-
ministration discovered that the print
ing fund, which was to have paid all
printing bills to July 1. was exhausted.
Hence it became your duty to appro-
pirate money to supply the deficiency
caused either by the characterization of
the previous legislature, by the in
dustrious activity of our predecessors,
who perhaps feared that the incoming
administration might not judiciously
expend this fund. and hence made an
earnest effort to put temptation out of
the way. Up to the time of the cleo
ton. the printing board had been fairly
economical in the amount of printing
ordered but, after the election, orders
were made which virtually required the
expenditure of the entire appropriation
for the fiscal year, so that by the time
this legislature convened the appropri-
alton had practically disappeared Not
Nithstanding the fact that the law says
that the printing shall cease when the
ar,Oropriation is exhausted, we have
been going on with this printing for
more than a month in violation of the
statute. end q large part of the money
approp1 "a ted in this bill will be used to
discharge obligations already accrued,

LOVES STORY.
The Supposed Grave Robbsr Relates
His Statement of the Circum-
stances.

Alma, Kan, Feb. 19-The case of the
state against Lowe was finished and
given to the jury this afternoon. No
new facts were brought out by the pros
ecution at the morning session.
DR.. Clarence McClintock was put on
the stand and testified to having met
Lowe once prior to the grave robberies
when he said he was going after dis
secting material.
He did not know who had furnished
any bodies except on one occasion, when
he himself had taken one to the college.
l. o. Van Fleet was again put on the
stand and related the story of his wife's
burial and the recovery of her body He
shed tears and several OF the jurors
wiped their eyes.
Later in the day the defense put Lowe
on the stand. He told a very smooth sto-
~.
He explained all the points made by
the state and said he had never been in
Rochester cemetery. He claimed that
he was home on the night of the rob-
berry. He related infinitely about his
arrest and gave the impression that he
was the victim of systematic persecu-
ton by the officers.
He said he had been employed by the
college to haul bodies from place TO
place. but had never sold or procured
any material for them. He denied hav-
ing anything to do with the rObbing OF
Mrs Van Fleets grave.
