DAVIS KNOWN
 IN SALINAS The Supposed Crook Iden- tified by the Sheriff of
 Monterey.
Wanted in the Southern Part of the State for Passing
 Bogus Checks.

By the arrest of W. A. Davis the po- lice believe that they have the man who has been passing worthless checks with alarming frequency. Last night the Sheriff of Salinas visited the City Prison and positively identified him as the Eastern tourist" who had passed a number of bogus checks while so- journtng In that portion of the State By representing himself as an Eastern capitalist in search of pleasure and recreation" Davis had little trouble in getting rid of the worthless paper
 Shortly after o'clock last evening a well dressed, handsome young woman visited police headquarters and asked permission to see Davis. She claimed that she was his wife, having married him about eight years ago.
 T know he is innocent of any wrong doing," she remarked. "I am sure he will be able to satisfy everybody con- nected with the police department of his innocence"
 Mrs. Davis was subsequently, al- lowed to enter the prison, where she had long conversation with her hus- band.
 Detective Sullivan, who has been specially detailed to find out some thing about the career of Davis, has re. ported to Captain Bohen that he has already obtained sufficient evidence showing that the prisoner Is a clever crook. The description fits that of a man who some time ago visited Los Angeles and succeeded in passing a number of bogus checks.
 At that time he claimed he was an insurance agent. Captain Bohen has written to the police of Los Angeles asking them for the criminal record of Davis while he was in that city.
 The detectives have also learned that while Davis was stopping at the Lick House he changed his clothes several times a day. He always appeared fas- tidiously dressed except at irregular intervals, when he would leave the ho- tel dressed as a "hoosier.' To-day he will be formally charged.

The Expose Made by The Call Has Saved the People From the Imposition of an Increase
 in Their Schedule.
President Dingee Shows by His III Temper That the Publca- lions in This Paper Have Brought About
 the Desired Results

That Is all we ask or shall ask now, and we believe the business men of the city will see that in asking this we are not making a demand for anything but what is our due.
 We do not believe there will be any effort made to change the schedule ex- cept on the lines of readjustment. So far as the Contra Costa Company is concerned we are sure there will be no move that will increase the burden of the people We have entered into no combination with the other company regarding any such move, nor shall we do so. We have been indulgtng in a rate war for several years and have entered into an agreement to stop 1t. That is all there is to our 'combina- tion.'"
 It will be seen from the statement of both companies that they consider ex- isting rates sufficient for all purposes of revenue. The officials not only deny any intention of having the rates changed except to regulate certain in equalities, but they go further and de- clare that the existing schedule is sat isfactory.
 In the face of this there is but one course for the City Council and that is to avoid anything like rate changing unless 1t be to correct manifest injus-
 
 experienced a change of heart recently is evidenced from the fact that before The Call exposed the danger the friends of the companies-the "bluf- fers"-were at work among the Coun- cilmen telling them what to do In the matter of fixing water rates.
 The Call congratulates the people of Oakland on the fact that it has sue ceeded in bringing about this condi- tion. It has had no fight to make on either water company, but has endeav- ored to present fair exposition of ex- isting conditions and threatening dan gers in order to prevent the .consum- nation of any scheme that had for it's object the increase of rates for water. The workings of both companies are matters of current history in Oakland, and in recalling incidents and events the endeavor was simply to bring the present situation more forcibly before the people.

FIXING THE RATE.
First Meeting of the Water Com =
 naittee-One Report.


 n1ittee-One Report.
 OAKLAND, Feb. 2.-The water com mittee of the City Council held it's first meeting tonight to fix the water rate for the next fiscal year.
 The committee consists of Council men Henneberry (chairman), Cuvellier, Rowe, Pringle and Earl. The report of the Contra Costa Company was taken up item by item, and the regular ex- penses of construction and operation were thought to be very reasonable The sum of 1000 for interest on bonds was a subject for discussion, and Messrs. Rowe and Cuvellier said that as the original cost of the plant had to be considered by the Council in fixing the rates, it looked like paying twice by giving interest on the mortgage too The point was referred to the City At torney.
 J. H. T. Watkinson, general secre- tary of the company, was closely ex- amined regarding the report and at its close he took occasion to denounce the schedule fixed for last year by the last Council Earl asked if MT. Watkinson considered there is now a legal rate and he said no. Earl agreed with him
 "The schedule under which we are supposed to be working" said MT. Wat kinson, lis a monstrosity. It was ar ranged by men who knew nothing about the business and who did not go to people who did for their informa- tion. Apart from whether it is too high or too low, to which subject do not wish to make any reference, ii is impracticable. have been asked by Eastern engineers to send copies of it and I have not done so because I have been ashamed of it. The principle on which it is based is wrong. and it is crude and ragged. The best schedule we ever had was that of 1891, which continued in force till 1895. It was prac- ticable and could be understood. Last
The San Francisco call., 1898-02-03

year there was no examination made, as the law requires, and the schedule was clearly illegal"
 In answer to questions MT. Watkinson stated that about one-half of the cus- toners paid full rates and the other half less. but he could not tell what the income would have been had they col lected all the schedule calls for. He stated that the taxes on the income they did receive amounted to little over IA per cent.
 The schedule under which the rates were collected in 1894 produced an in- come to the company, which was then without opposition, of s4O4,0O0, which one of the Councilmen remarked is over 20 per cent on a two- million dollar plant
 At Friday nights meeting the Oak land Water Company's report will be taken up and w. J. Dingee will be questioned regarding his plant.

law with an impunity truly refreshing
TO an agonized and waiting public.
f. E. Kellogg, collector OF the west.
ern district OF Missouri, has cleaned
out all or most all the Democrats who
he found in the ofsce under the civil
service law and filed their places with
Repu ublieans. When he can't see his
way clear TO do this he Just suspends
them and temporarily fills their places
with a rock ribbed Republican and
that ends IL.
There is no particular harm in this,
only the rule should apply both ways.
