much water has been used in 1896 as in

Henry c. Folger, the head of the
Thomson Meter company. who is spend

his extensive travels statistics which
prove beyond q doubt that the use of
water meters not only helps establ

MEASURING WRITER
,ooooooooooooooooooooooo-;

One Of the most difficult problems &c
solve is that of giving an equivalent fol-
what you receive and none that requires
nicer adjustment than that of the
value of water.
Giving the matter little If any thought
large majority of the residents of this
city feel and claim, on the ground Of its
being a necessity, that water should be
"as free as air" and that there should be
no restraint in the use or abuse of such
a commodity.
Il This opinion would be justifiable were
1t not for the cost of it's delivery and tho
difficulty of furnishing the supply. A
City or water company shows faith in
the growth of the community in going 20
great expense in placing pipes for miles
through the Streets furnishing large
reservoirs, dams, standpipes and pumps
for the storage and delivery of water
and this expenditure IS greatly aug
mented by the difficulty Of obtaining an
;neXhaustibla supply.
To offset this expenditure Of capital
certain revenue must be provided to
maintain the works; pay the interest on
capital invested; running expenses OF
eHS NSPeNi N4i4IilN' btIIGtldllOG bI tDc
plant; sinking fund set aside each year
to pay off the bonds and sundry other
expenses.
There are two methods by which this
can be accomplished. First, by pacing
the expense i'll the general tax assess
ment. This is not altogether satisfac~
tory. because there is no equalization in
taxatlon, and as rule the ''wasters' Of
water are non-taXpayers and the larga
manufacturing interests would pay taxes
to cover the deficit and the taxpayers
would consider it an injustice as well.
Such plan Isl in use in one city where
& manufacturer pays half Of the taxes
and uses three-fourths of the daily sup
ply of water. Ofcourse he favors uni
yersal tax.
The second way and by far the most
nearly equitable and satisfactory meth
cd is the use of water meters This. &C
course meets with some opposition.

SULLIVAN TO BE FREED At LAST.
Pardon for Seemingly Innocent Man
Who Served Six Years in
San Quentin.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Sept. H.-On the
first day of October the prison gates of
San Quentin Will open and restore to
liberty Thomas Sullivan, a man who
with every presumption of inno-
cence in his favor, has served six
long years for crime he has always
protested he was innocent Of The inves-
lisation he has so repeatedly demanded
has convinced the prison directors, the
warden and the Governor that there is
grave doubt of his com plicity, and Gov
ernor Budd has con cluded to give him the
benefit of the doubt.
Sullivan was sentenced for a term of
fourteen years for completely In an at

Kern County on the night of tue 18Th Of

who was under the influence
of liquor threw himself bodily upon the
treasurer and attempted to pinion his
arms. He fLiled, and the official sue

Mrs. Russell'S Charges
Against lone School
Officials.
Declares an Innocent Lad Was
Whipped Into Confessing
a Theft.
Articles He Was Said to Have
Stolen AfterWard Found in Their
Owners Trunk

STOCKTON, CAL, Sept. 27.-Dora Rus
sell of this city is after the scalp OF Super
intendent O. Brien of The Preston Reform
School at lone. To-day Attorney McGee
of San Francisco had conference with
her relative to the recent whipping of her
adopted son, Frank Russell, who, she al
leges, was twice beaten with strap be-
cause he refused to acknowledge that he
had committed theft that was charged
to him. The boy has since SAID that he
was forced into telling what was untrue
in order to avoid further beatings.
Frank Russell was sent to the reform
atory from Stockton and during the
month of August was accused by the
Preston officials of the theft OF some valu-
ables from one of the officers of the insti-
tuition. Together with lad uamed Car
rington he was placed under arrest and
taken to Jackson. His adopted mother
did not learn until some time after this
that her son was in Jail charged with
crime When she did she at once has
tened to the school and asked TO see him,
but was told tn at he was at Jackson and
in jail. She haste ned 10 Jacks on and had
an interview with the boy, VINO told her
the story OF his beatings and of the efforts
that had been made 10 send him to the
pcnitentiary.
While the stories of lads like Russell are
always taken with grain of salt MCGEE
says that of Russell WAS verified by the
investigation he conducted as the legal
re preventative of Caring on, who was
CHARGED Jointly with Russell with the theft
of the Yaluables.
When the loss was discovered and Rus
sell was accused of it he denied the
charge. Then, according to his story, he
was told that if he did not confess the
theft he would be whipped. On refusing
he was given eighty lashes, and under
them he almost tainted. He still refused,
he declares, and was taken out and given
fifty lashes more. The last whipping was
too much, and as he dropped faintjng to
the ground the man who admin lstered it
remarked as water was dashed in his face
to bring him to consciousness, that he was
sorry that he had been obliged to perform
the task when there was no occasion for
II. According 10 MCGEE and Mrs. Russell
the attendant was subsequently dis
charged for these remarks.
While the boys were in Jackson the
trunk of the man who was robbed was
searched, and thev claim the valuables
were found in it. T is, they say, is
proof that neither Darlington nor Russell
committed the thefts charged TO them.
After the second beating Russell said that
Darlington had taken the vaIuables, but
later he admitted that he had told an un-
truth through fear of his life and to avoid
another beating.
The officials of Preston School say
that there was no doubt of Russeli's
guilt. 1t is their opinion that when he
saw he was about to be sent 10 the penI-
tentIary he contrived to get word to a
90, in -
the stolen articles TO the trunk from:
which they had been taken.

Styles BdNKER KING A F0RGER.
Mrs. Kruse Adds to Her Sensational
Charges Against the San
JoseaH.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Sept. 27.-Charges OF
EN- bezz lement and forgery were preferred
to-day against Banker Abram King, who
was formerly guardian of the person and
estate OF Stephen Hobson. an incompe-
tent. Mrs. Louise ]. Kruse, now admin
istratriX of the estate OF her deceased
father, Stephen Hobson, is the complain
ant. The accusations are Incorporated IN
an amended complaint to bill of excep-
tions to the final accounting and dis
charge of King as guardian of Hobson.
The charges are reiteratlon OF those In
the original complaint, which charged
King with appropyiating about $l5, O0O OF
his wards money to his own use.
For over twenty years King was Hob
sons guardian, and it is alleged in the
complaint that his pecnlations extended
over that entire time. The amounts were
not large, but in the aggregate reached
thousands of doIlars.
The Hobson estate is worth about $4O,-
600, and consists OF business ard residence
property III this city. HObson died two
years ago, and his daughter, Mrs. kruse,
applied for and was granted letters of adj
minis tration. In going over the accounts
of the estate the alleged discre epancles
were discovered and a demand was made
to comply, ana exceptions were filed to
his accounting and application tor dis
charge. The charges were stoutly denied
and contested by King. Testimony was
taken before the Court Commissioner and
filed 9S1 page OF typewriter matter.
In the amended complaint filed to-day
Mrs kruse contests item %, where King
credits himself with $8 20 alleged to have
been paid 10 L. G. w. Otto. 1t is alleged
''that said item was and is false, and that
the voucher supporting the same was
forged by King in this, that the sum of
81 80 of said amount was so forged and
EN- bezzled by King, and was never paid
out by him.
The amended exceptions also contest
an item in which the sum of $28 is alleged
to have been paid to the San Jose Water
Company. This charge is denounced as
false, and that the voucher supporting
The same was forged and charged by King
so as to represent and show that 1t was
Charge against the property o! said ward,
whereas the same was in fact a charge for
and was for water actually furnished to
said King personally and for the use OF his
private property"
TIE credit OF $57 25, alleged to have
been paid NJ. Lenzen, is attacked, and it
is held that in truth there was but $32 rs
and no more; that said King in that be-
half knowingly falsiied the voucher rep
sentng said item, and forged therein an
item of $25 in his own handwriting over
the signature of said NJ. Lenzen to SAID re-
ceipt."
There are numerous other charges of
damaging nature.
Abram King is an old resident and one
of the most prominent business men in
this city. For a mum Der OF years he was
president of the First National Bank
and at present he is director OF the Sc
curlty Savings Bank. He is worth about
