SEWER BONDS INVALID
ANOTHER LEGISLATIVE BLUM
DER DISCOVERED
Conflicting Statutes Invalidate the
Proposed Santa Ana Bond
Issue

SANTA ANA. March 25.-Through an un-
fortunate mistake in the work Of the last
legislature the city trustees Of Santa Ana
will be unable to proceed any further with
the proposed sewer bonds OF this city. They
have discovered that conflicting statutes
passed at different sessions of the legisla-
ture render 1t extremely doubtful as to
whether they can be issued. The city coun-
Gil is In no manner to blame and the notice
only came to their knowledge few days
ago. A telegram was at once sent to the
secretary of state to ascertain whether the
error was only in the printed statute or
in the original bill, and word has been re-
cetved that 1t was In the original bill. SO
that as the law now stands no municipnli-
ties have authority to incur indebtedness
for building water works, sewers and other
public improvements and to vote bonds for
the purpose. The trustees and city attor-
ney still hope that the matter may be in
some way adjusted SO as to save the bond
issue and give us the desired sewers.

BAD BANKING
Philadelphia Financiers Get Away
With State Funds

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. March 25.-John
8. Hopkins, cashier Of the Peoples Bank,
which closed Its doors yesterday, commit
ted suicide by shooting and did not die from
heart disease, as announced yesterday by
his family.
The suicide yesterday Of Cashier Hop
kins. the official statement that the bank
would remain closed pending an examlna-
ton of its affairs, and the assignment made
by the Guarantors' Finance Company. has
caused considerable agitation in financial
circles. The Guarantors' Company and
the Peoples Bank had close business rela-
tions and 1t is learned that the bank Is a
creditor of the Financial Company for over
5000 900 and that the securities given are
practically worthless. The loan was OBJ
tanned from Cashier Hopkins by Richard
Lopez, General Manager Of the Finance
Company.
A gentleman closely connected With the
institution stated that the liabilities Of the
bank are about $500 1000. He expressed
the belief that the bank is solvent.
The bank was incorporated under the
State laws in 1870 and was re-chartered in
1880. 1t has carried heavy deposits of State
funds. the States deposit at present being
$506 900.
It was reported on the street today that
Mr.. Hopkins. the dead cashier, was the
flduciary agent of United States Senator
Quay and attended to all his money affairs,
both in political and personal matters. 1t
is also said that Mr.. Hopkins handled the
money Of the Republican State conven-
ton.
This II the second time within few
months that the State funds have been tied
up by the failure of the bank in which its
funds were deposited, the first failure be-
Ing that Of the Chestnut Street National
Bank, where $215, 900 was on deposit.
Deputy Attorney General Reeder and
Bank Commissioner Gilkeson were sum-
moned to Philadelphia for the purpose of
protecting the States interests.

MORE WATER FOR v1NE1AND
Wells to Be Driven and q 920, 900
Pumping Plant Erected

VINELAND, Cal, March 25.--The pres
ent water supply of the vineland irriga-
ton district has been found inadequate and
the board Of directors has decided to en-
large the present capacity Of seventy-five
inches to 175 inches. Plans and specifica-
tions are now being prepared for the con-
struction of two wells and a pumping
plant with a capacity of 100 inches. A sur
vey for a high pressure pipe line was begun
yesterday and 1t is hoped that the board
Of directors will be able to advertise for
bids for the construction Of the plant with
In the next ten days.
The present water supply Is derived
partly from the San Gabriel canyon by
means Of a tunnel and partly from Roberts
canyon. This irrigation system was put
Into operation in July, 1890, and the rapid
growth and development of the district has
made It necessary that larger supply OF
water be obtained. For this purpose It is
proposed by the directors of the vineland
irrigation district, which was formed un-
der the Wright act, to erect a reservoir Of
sufficient capacity for the needs Of the dis
trict on lands Of the district at the extreme
northern border of the district The two
wells and the pumping station will be To-
Gated at the townsite about two and three
quarter miles from the reservoir, to which
the water will be pumped by power fur
nished by the San Gabriel Electric Power
company and from which It will be dis
tributed throughout the district by means
Of gravity pipes. The San Gabriel Electric
Power company is now erecting its power
houses at the mouth of the San Gabriel
canyon. and when these are completed will
furnish the power for pumping the wells.
II is estimated that this addition to the
Vineland irrigation system will cost not
less than $4,000 and will be in operation
three months hence. The two wells will be
about, 300 feet deep. at which depth copi-
GUS supply of water is to be had.

MONTEREY HARBoR
Improved by the Action Of the Ocean
Waves

MONTEREY, March 25.-J. w. H. James,
London railroad expert and civil en-
gineer, who is examining Monterey harbor
in the interests of Liverpool, London and
Glasgow shippers, has discovered that the
most recent United States government
maps of Monterey bay, made fifteen years
ago, are incorrect, because of the fact
that the ocean wash has thrown the sand
to the northeast side Of the bay, broad
ening the beach on that side, while mate
rally deepening the shoal water on the
southeast and south sides. The harbor
proper is thus both wider and deeper
than the map indicates. Old fishermen,
who have noticed this gradual change in
Monterey harbor, state that the water at
the end Of the old government wharf has
deepened five fathoms during the past
eighteen years.
