ANOTHER ADJOURNMENT
ARBITRAT0Rs MAKING SLOW
PROGRESS
TO MEET AGAIN TODAY
Committee Investigating Sites for
Fire Engine Houses-Fire Com
mission Fails to Meet

Not wholly from force of habit, but be-
cause the attorneys of the city and water
company were not ready to proceed, the
board of water arbitrators yesterday con-
tinued the taking of testimony until o'clock
this morning.
When the session was called to order City
ATTORNEY Dunn inquired OF Witness Mulhol-
land if he had succeeded in completing the
statement relating to the quantity Of pipe
in the system and the time the various sizes
were laid. Mr. Mulholand replied that he
had not been able to get further than 1881,
but thought he could have the table ready
by opening time today.
This statement when presented will cover
really every step in the examination SO far,
which has been confined to questions bear
ing on the quantity rather than quality OF
the pipe in the system. Without this com
plete evidence the city attorney did not care
to proceed with the examination on other
branches of the question.
Mr. Dunn then explained to the board that
it would be almost impossible to make any
progress until Superintendent Mulholland
completed the table. Il am told, said he.
"that the preparation of the table does not
require the attention of Mr.. M1!holland,
and if the board so desires, we will continue
the examination. When the tables are in
/ believe the city and company can finish
with this witness in one day. After Mr.. Null
holland has been excused we will place eX-
pert engineers on the stand, and can wind
our case up in three days. I believe we can
do this just as well in that time as we could
by taking as many weeks
BY the testimony of the engineers it is the
city's intention to confne the examination to
the condition and value OF the plant.
After a short consultation with Attorney
Chapman Mr.. Dunn said: II would sug
gcst that we adjourn until tomorrow at
o'clock If we succeed in hearing all OF the
superintendent testimony tomorrow, we
could then adjourn until Tuesday next week.
The time between Thursday and Tuesday,
l believe, could be well employed by the
board in continuing the physical examlna-
tion of the pipe at points not vet visited.
Personally, ! am very much in favor of
having the board take this practical testi-
mony, and believe that the pipe itself, which
will be presented in evidence, will assist the
board in making a valuation of the system
a great deal more than the opinions OF the
best witnesses"
az am in favor of the adjournment" said
Mr.. Chapman, ''and expect that Senator
White will be present by tomorrow"
Col. Mendoll expressed himself as willing
to abide by the decision of the attorneys.
but inquired if it was not possible to take
up other testimony before the board ad-
journed. Upon being informed that It was
not the wish of either the city or the com
papy to do so. he declared the meeting a,l-
journed, to meet today at o'clock.

AFFAIRS AT PANA
No Signs Of Cessation of the Disorder
Prevailing

PANA, Ills, Nov. 30. - After fifty
days continuous night and day riot duty in
Pana. Troop B of Bloomington, First Hi.
nois Cavalry Squadron, were relieved today
by Company X. Fifth Regiment. Desultory
shooting continued nightly, the provost
guard having but little success in effecting
captures. Another consignment of negroes
arrived last night. They were met at the
train by a squad of soldiers, who relieved
them OF arms before permitting them to
march to the Springside mine barracks.
The white miners are remaining steadfast
for the scale and union recognition. They
received $1,000 yesterday from the State
Union. Next week Sheriff elect Downey,
an avowed friend OF the miners, relieved
Sheriff Coburn in charge of affairs here.
Great interest is being manifested in the
cases of the miners indicted for riot and
the capture of Operator Overholt, which
will be called in the Circuit Court this
week The miners have employed able
counsel and expect acquitta. The grand
jury has failed to indict the miners who
are alleged to have held up the Baltimore
and Ohio southwestern train and shipped
carload of negroes back to Washington,

A CONFESSED MURDERER
John Hancock Blames Mrs. Gross for
the Crime

John Hancock is said to have confessed
his particpanCv in the double murder on
the desert in Nye county, New. two years
ago His former paramour, Mrs. Myers now
Mrs. Gross, made the details OF the crime
public. She claimed that Hancock had
lliiled DR.. Engellle and Peter Edmiston,
who were travelling with Ilancocl, and Mrs.
Myers and her little son on the desert. Han
cock pleaded guilty to burglary at Santa
Ana, and was given ten years in San Quen-
tim penitentary. He and his partner in
crime, Knox. We're taken north OH the Tues
day night train.
Hancock is said TO have admitted while
here that he had been with the woman on
the desert but claimed she had killed Ed
nston herself. According to Hancock. the
woman had urged him to help her commit
the crime, for she feared that the water and
food would become exhausted and they
would all starye on the desert, so she wanted
to kill Engelke and party and get their sup
plies Hancock allowed himself to be per-
snaded, so he claimed, into aiding her in the
deed. He also claimed that she had tried
TO induce him to commit another murder
while they were en- route from Paradise,
New, to Sunrise valley, Cal. but he had
refused The Nevada authorities have not
apparently taken much interest in the mur
der, and it looks as if 70 attempt would be
made to compel Hancock to suffer for his
crimes. Considerable doubt is felt as to
the truth of his alleged confession, it being
thought that lie made it simply to get even
with his former mistress and cause her ar
rest If possible.

BIDDER ASKS A FAVOR
Wants to Correct Mistake in Alarm
Apparatus Bid

The blunder made by the Gamewell Fire
Alarm company in its bid to supply the city
with additional electric apparatus will be
brought to the attention of the council at
its next meeting. Yesterday r. A. Rose,
the company's Pacific coast agent, filed with
the city clerk communication stating the
|company's position and making an appar-
emily reasonable offer. The communication
is as follows:
"[n the matter of our bid for fire alarm
apparatus made under the terms of the ad-
vertsement calling for bids we desire to
state that papable error was made therein.
The item called for included 80 fire alarm
boxes, and they were mentioned in our
specifications, but when estimating the
amount of our bid the cost of this item was
omitted, thus causing an error of $4,000 in our
bid.
IF, in the judgment Of your honorable
body, it be determined that we are acting in
good faith in this matter, we would most re-
spectfully request that the bid be rejected,
and that you proceed to readvertise.
Desiring that the loss occasioned by our
careessness shall not be source of expense
to the city. we will, in the event of your
complying with our request, repay to the
city any costs which may be incurred in the
mater of advertising. and agree to do this as
soon as we are notified of the amount and
without reference to whom the final award
of contract may be made to- Under no cir
cumstances will our bid be raised other than
to insert the above amount covering the cost
of SO boxes
Without doubt the council will grant the
request. Should it refuse to do so, however.
the company would most likely forfeit its
$500 check which was given as security. No
matter what action is taken. the work of
placing such system in operation will be
delayed several weeks because of the blum

BOYLE HEIGHTS LINE
TRACTION COMPANY's LINE
OPEN FOR USE TODAY
The First Trip Made to Evergreen
Cemetery Last Night-Seven-
Minute Schedule Today

The Traction company yesterday COM
pleted its line to Boyle Heights. Last night
car with party of officials of the road
made the trip from the power house to
Evergreen cemetery and back, finding the
track in good condition. Only one line Of
rails over the l900foot viaduct across the
river was fitted with the necessary trusses,
but the other will be put in condition for
traffic this morning. A fifteen minute SER
vice will be scheduled for this forenoon, but
by this afternoon the regular starting time
of ear, every seven minutes, will be IN
operation The new line consists of two and
a half miles of double track, five miles in
all. and is built in the substantial manner
which is a feature of this company's lines.
The company has some further extensions
under consideration, but it is said officially
that nothing in the way of further building
operations is intended at the present time.
Rather an exciting race against time took
place when the first car went over. The
contractors, Sawyer & Arthur, who built the
long viaduct over the river, had only till
midnight to have the road ready for opera
tion. and the franchise would have then ex-
pired il the line had not heen operated.
Added to this, ex-Nlayor Workman had col
lected as a bonus to the company from the
residents interested in the roads compile
ton notes for about $4,000, which Mr.
Hook, the head OF the company, had in
dorsed and used in building the road These
notes were made so as to be void if the road
were not completed by the hour mentioned.
The viaduct contractors and the officials OF
tl.c road were very anxious, of course, as
they made the trip over, for mishap
which would have prevented them from ar
irving on the stroke of II would have cost
the company the $4,000 and the franchise,
and The contractors would have had their
work for their pains in building the viaduct.
The car, however, arrived at the end of the
track at Evergreen cemetery at exactly q
minutes of u, and when it arrived the forty
odd men on it made as much noise as 100
coulG have done who were not playing for
the big stake they landed.
