in water rates to the detriment of bus mess methods of the city, the water companies have furnished false argu- ments to the enemies of the city with which to drive away possible purchas- CTS of homesteads. It is this fact that causes the people to feel that while they have no fight to make on corpor- ations they have a desire to see the water companies suffer for their own misdeeds and recoup themselves for their losses by a return to legitimate business methods rather than by raise in rates at the expense of the people.
 While it may not be the intention of the two companies to form a business alliance 1t Is evident from their actions that they have determined to form an alliance having for its object the rais- ing of rates to a figure that will per init them to recover some of the money recklessly spent in vain endeavor to run each other out of business. It is this combination that threatens dan ger to the people, and should the mem bers of the Council see fit to make change of basis upon which to fix the rates for the coming year it would mean that a series of juggling would take place which would end only when the water companies got figure that would restore much of the lost ground.
 The Call has warned the people and has shown exactly wherein the danger lies. It is for the people of Oakland to save themselves by a strong and determined stand against any juggling with rates. If the rates now in vogue were satisfactory to the companies for the past three years while they were fighting they are certainly high enough to be satisfactory now with an in creased population and no additional investment on the plants. This is the position taken by the conservative members of the Council and this is the position which will be maintained by the people.
 The water companies have had their friends at work trying to bring argu ment and influence to bear on the members of the Council which is a sure indication that something Is in- tended that needs bolstering. The peo- pie, knowing this fact. will watch closely the action of the Council in or der to prevent. if possible. any Ire adjustment which will mean a heavy tax on the users of water

SAYS THE BEER
 WAS DRUCCED John C. Traynor Robbed in a Barbary Coast
 Dive.
His Purse and Watch Taken From Him While He Slept
 in Chair.
Picked Up by a Policeman and Charged With Being
 Drunk.

J. C. Traynor, who lives on Ma toma street. near Fifth, claims he was drugged in a saloon on Jackson street, below Kearny. Friday night. and robbed of $22 50 Last evening he visited police headquarters and in formed Chief Lees of the occurrence.
 Traynor is employed as a laborer on the new ferry building. Friday even ing he was paid off. and. being anxious to make some purchases, he walked along Jackson street to Kearny. Meeting a friend. he invited him to have drink, and together they entered the saloon in which he claimed he was drugged. Traynor called for a glass of beer. and after drinking it he became drowsy and fell asleep.
 When he awakened, some time after ward, his purse. containing s22 50. was gone, as well as a cheap silver watch which he carried in his vest pocket
 Realizing he had been drugged. Traynor accused the bartender of having robbed him. The latter, he says, seized him by the throat and after severely choking him threw him in the street In the struggle he lost his hat. Traynor wandered around the streets until he was picked up by Policeman Minnehan, who took him to the City Prison, where he was charged with being drunk. Judge Campbell on learning his story, promptly released him.
 To Chief Lees last night Traynor said he was not drinking man. He emphatically denied that he was under the influence of liquor at the time he entered the saloon.
 'I had just quit work" he remarked when telling his story, and as I was anxious to get some provisions walked up Jackson street as far as Kearny. It was there I met the friend who accompanied me to the saloon. After drinking the beer I felt rather queer. and turning to my friend told him of my suspicious. I then fell into a chair and went to sleep. What be- came of him do not know. I am con- vinced. however. that he knew nothing of the robbery"
 After listening to the story Chief Lees detailed Detective Tom Gibson to investigate the matter. Gibson visited the saloon where Traynor claimed to have been robbed. but the proprietor emphatically denied having seen him. Traynor says he will to-day swear out a warrant for the arrest of the bar tender charging him with robbery.

IMPORTANT DECISION
Given il tn, criminal cour. BY Jnds,

Given In the Criminal Court by Judge,
ilnSu,, In the Fort Henry Club Cases.
A5vIctory for the Club that was not I'm.
expected. fG
The cases of the state VS.. the Fort
Henry Club were, by agreement between
the prosecuting attorney and John o.
Pendleton, the attorney for the club.
tried to the court in place Of a jury. as
the facts were not disputed and the
cases turned entirely upon the judicial
construction Of the state license law.
There were four indictments for the sale
OF liquor without license found against
the Fort Henry Club some months ago
by the grand jury, which, It will be re-
membered, returned nearly seven hun
dred Indictments against numerous par
ties for selling liquor without license.
All these cases have been settled by
convictions or compromises with the
state. The Fort Henry Club claimed
that It only sold to its own members,
and that such sales were not illegal,
where the fund with which the liquor
was bought had been contributed by the
members, and where each member paid
into the fund In proportion to the guam
THY Of liquor he consumed.
By agreement the first case was made
n test, as the facts were the same In
all the cases.
The prosecuting attorney stated that
could only prove sales to members, and
could find no evidence to show sales TO
outsiders. The defendant admitted the
sales Ito members and offered to tprove
that the club was a bona fde organi-
cation for the social, literary and artls-
tic improvement of Its members. and
that the sale Of liquor to its members
was but an incident of its existence,
and that there was no intent TO evade
the license law.
The case was submitted to. the court,
and Mr.. Pendleton, the counsel for the
defendant. moved that finding OF not
guilty be entered for the defendant in
all the cases. which was the judgment
OF the court.
By this finding Judge Hugus decides
that clubs which are not organ
lied for the mere purpose OF evadlng
the license law, that are not makeshifts
or devices. but are bona .fide organiza-
tons for the mental, social, literary and
artistic improvement Of their members,
need not take out state or city license,
where their sales are confined to their
members.
On this finding Judge Husus is sus-
tained by recent and conclusive decis-
ions Of the supreme courts Of Virginia,
South Carolina. Missouri. Tennessee,
Texas, Maryland, New York and Penn
sylvania. "Black on the Sale OF Intoxl-
eating Liquors." and numerous other
authorities. The decision was n matter
of no little, interest to the Fort Henry,
Arlon and other clubs. as II they were
compelled to take out license It meant
a tax of $3.50 per year on each OF them.

s"untll recently It has always been
considered incurable, but a few years
since much excitement was caused
among scientists and the medical pros
fesslon by a discovery which actually
cured this fearful disease even In Its
last stages. Doctors were amazed at Its
power and gladly welcomed 1t, That
discovery Is known among men OF
science the world over as Warmers Safe
Cure, and It Is no ,exaggeratlon to state
that 1t has accomplished more IN the
field OF health than anything which has
ever been brought to the attention OF
the medical profession or the general
public" M
but the great popularity OF Warmers
Safe Cure Is due not so much to the
fact that II has rescued the victims of
Bright's disease from the brink of the
grave. as that II drives away the first
symptoms of this dread malady when
ever they appear and restores the sur
iferer TO perfect health. do not hesi-
tate to implore everyone who reads
these words not to neglect the slightest
symptoms OF kidney difficulty. Certain
suffering and probably death will be
the sure result OF such neglect and no
one can afford to hazard such chances"
