 The extensive Calaveras watershed was bought by the company to re- enforce the supply of the pentnsular catchment area. It is time now for the company to utilize its possessions In that direction, if the president of the company Is correct in his surmise that the existing reservoirs may not be ade- quate.
 A short time ago the company issued 1000 additional shares of stock, from which nearly s7o0000 was realized. Per haps some of this money went into the new building and should be accounted for to consumers in profits derived from rents. Stock representing $14.000, 900 and bonds approximating $10,000,000 have been issued by the corporation In effect, the demand of the company is that it should be permitted to charge for water sum sufficient to pay over and above the cost of running expenses and repairs per cent interest on this so-called investment of $24.000,000.

THE FERRY COLLISION.
Investigation Into the Affair by the United States Inspectors of
 Steam Vessels

The United States Inspectors of Local and Foreign Steam Vessels began yes terday an investigation into the causes of the collision which took place between the ferry steamers Garden City and the Piedmont opposite Goat Island on Febru- ary 3.
 Captain J. T. Jones of the Piedmont testified that the fog was very thick. and that when he got opposite Goat Island he heard the whistles of two different steamers, one off port and the other off the starboard side. He slowed up the Piedmont and stopped twice and then started to back. At the moment of the collision his vessel was actually going backward. He did not catch sight of the Garden City through the fog until about five seconds before she struck.
 Captain w. Frederickson of the Garden City said that he left the foot of Broad way, Oakland, about fifteen or sixteen minutes late. Going down the creek to- ward the bay he made up a little of the lost time and arrived at the mouth of the creek off the south jetty about ten minutes late. Then he ran under slow bell with the fog whistles blowing. When near the scene of the collision he heard whistles blowing off the starboard bow, signaled to stop and one minute later rang the bell to back. Then he rang to stop backing, and then gave the signal to back again. At the time of the colli- sion the wheels were revolving back ward, but the vessel was still going ahead with the momentum. He heard the back ing signal on the other boat just before the collision.
 Several other witnesses were examined as to the manner of working the engines and the time that elapsed between the signals. The investigation will be re- Sumed to-day.

den was railroaded to prison was be- cause he was thorn in the side of his family, and owing to this fact they would stop at nothing to get him out of the way.
 T never thought Worden committed the crime, and l am of the same opin- ion yet" said Knox. T think that his own family is as much to blame for his present condition as any prosecutor that stood on the witness stand against him. They seemed to have been over anxious to get him out of the way as he was a foolish. eccentric and unreliable sort of a fellow and they were afraid that his battling about the world on his own responsibility would involve the family in trouble and pos sible disgrace. I think that if he had been sentenced to life imprisonment instead of to death on the gallows they shield him from the crime of which he is now charged.
 "The prosecution went a little too far and a trifle beyond their expecta- tionS," resumed Knox, and whereas they would like to see him behind prison bars for the rest of his life still they do not want his blood upon their heads, as they we'll know that this will be the case, as they were instrumental
 
 law"
 Knox, upon being asked his ideas as to who the real perpetrator of the crime was, replied that he hadn't the remotest conception, as he had abso- lutely no participation in committing it and consequently would not give an opinion, as the public would think that he was one of the men who were at the trestle the time of the wreck. xri1 h is stated in the above letter, and unless this statement be satisfactory to those who insist on further information they will have to construct an interview from their own imaginations, as I re- fuse to give an additional word which might bias the people against me-
 It is generally believed in Sacramen- to that Worden's confession amounts to an actual abandonment of the plea made to the Governor in his behalf on the ground of the prisoners insanity.
 The Bee last night published the ac- count of a visit made to Folsom by Dr. F. w. Hatch of the Lunacy Com mission and W. P. Mathews, secretary of the. State Board of Health. They conversed freely with Worden, and expressed themselves as convinced of his sanity.
 Melvin Hatch, one of the strikers whom WOfden accuses aS DelHS prlH- cipals in the trestle murders during the railroad strike, said with an oath yesterday that Worden was a fool, and that if he (iatch) were to be tried over again for complicity he would prove a stronger alibi than he did at his first trial.
 A telegram from Cowles states that 1t Is generally believed there that Wor- den was led to confess by the thought that he could not sustain successfully the theory of insanity, and that he would stand better chances by telling his story and thereby throwing him. self completely upon the mercy of the Governor

The Sprtng Valley Water Works ex-

The Spring Valley Water Works ex- poets, obviously, to continue for an in- definite period of time the system long ago established of compelling the con- sumers of water to provide the corpo- ration with revenue sufficient to pay 6 per cent interest on the cost of the system as calculated by the company itself. The valuation, according to the company's estimate. has now increased until it approxinates S24, ,000 900. When new mains are put in to replace old pipe the amount expended is charged to construction account and Is included in the valuation. Land which cost ac- tually s1,000,000 is valued at S4, 900 900. Pumping plants, new reservoirs and everything added to the system are figured up and added to the valuation. If the consumers were asked to pay s per cent on the actual value of the works the burden would not be too great, but per cent on everything that has been bought and worn out. to- gether with 6 per cent on everything purchased new to replace old material, is an enormous drain on the commu- nifty.
 Conservative men of large affairs in the commercial world estimate that the sum of BIO, 100000 would bring from the mountains to San Francisco an abun- dant and er-failing supply of pure, fresh water. AS a matter of justice, the consumers ought not to be obliged
