WATER CONTROVERSY
LEFT TO ARBITRAT0RS
Stephen NJ. White Makes the Closing
Argument for the Los Angeles
CORPORATION.

LOS ANGELES. April 6.-The long
drawn out litigation between the city and
the wtaer company before the Board Of
Water Arbitrators came TO a conclusion
this morning, when Stephen NJ. White
closed the arguments for the water COM
pany. This question was once the sub
ject for special political planks, each of
the parties vying in rhetoric TO make
their positions unquestionably clear, still
at the session of the board to-day, the
most momentous in the history of the
contest, aside from brokers. capitalists
and a few Councilmen, but ten plain citi-
Zens were onlookers, and they peered over
the balcony of the gallery in the Council
chamber. White argued that the city
should pay for the water companys plant
on a basis of value" and not of cost"
Its value as the company's contention
has always been, should be based on its
earning capacity as utility He quoted
from the now famous thirty-year contract
the value of improvements Improvements
mean what has been added TO the plant
and according to his reasoning the value
of the property to the city should be
based on its present ability to make rev
enUe.
At the conclusion of Whites address
the attorneys on both sides thanked the
arbitrator. to which Chairman Mendell
briefly replied. 1t was agreed that when
the board shall be ready 10 announce a
verdict notice will be given for the wind
three arbitrators TO determine how much
the city of Los Angeles shall pay for the
plant of the Los Angeles City Water Com
DaQV.

WESTERN TERMINAL OF
SANTA FE SYSTEM
There in July of the New Trans
continental Line.

STOCKTON, April 6.-For time at
least it appears that Stockton will be the
western terminal of the Santa Fe system.
and as near as can be ascertained Santa
Fe trains may be expected to reach here
the first week of July. Citizens do not
propose to allow this great event marking
the Inauguration of a transcontinental
and competing line TO pass without recog-
milton. At the next meeting of the Mer-
chants Association steps will be taken
TO prepare for the event. II possible 1t is
proposed to make the Fourth of July and
the railroad event one celebration and in
vite the people from all the surrounding
counties to participate.
Two men, alleged to be representatives
of the Santa Fe, were in the city yester-
day To real estate agents with whom
they had conferences they insisted that
their negotiations be kept quiet. They are
known TO have looked at several lots at
the foot of Weber avenue and some prop
erty in the vicinity of Sacramento Street
somewhere near the Southern Pacific de-
pot. The agents did not wish 10 let 1t be
known that they were in town and that
they talked of real estate, and they left
as suddenly as they came.
The Valley road is this week running a
special train for stockmen who are get
ting their stock into permanent summer
pasturage: To-day the company began
the transfer OF SeVenty-twO carloads of
cattle from the vicinity of MERGED TO the
Sargent tract in this county. The stock.
which is the property of I, Bird, Will be
handled by special trains. 1t will be
transferred to bargeS at Stockton and
lands. It is understood that Miller Lux
will also take several thousand cattle
down on the lowlands. where good feed Is
now growing in abundance.

NOW POSES AS A PATRIOT
AND RESUMES THE OLD CRY
FOR INDEPENDENCE.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

HAVANA, April 6.-The Cuban Mill
tary Assembly being dead General
Maxine Gomez will take up his pro-
gramme of solidifying the Cuban peo-
pie, but without ceasing to urge the
United States to withdraw from the is
land. His purpose is to make the peo-
pie seem to have but one emotion. one
desire-the thought OF independence
and the absolute separation from the
United States.
General Gomez considers the dissoIu-
ton Of the Assembly as his personal
achievement, aided by the military ad-
ministration here and countenanced at
Washington. He believes he energies
from the controversy with the Assem-
bly, stronger than ever with the better
classes. His theory is that the Cubans,
who before thought him merely an ad-
roit guerrilla chief, are now preparing
to regard him as a political leader, and
that a few days more probably will see
him in name general-in- chief of the
army.
Yesterday the Cuban general, Pedro
Diaz, who commands in the province
of Pinar del Rio, invited several gen.
erals who are friendly to Gomez to a
conference regarding the latter's future
course. AS many who were invited were
some distance away, however, and
could not reach here in time for the
meeting, there were only few actually
present; but the possibility of reinstat-
ing Gomez as COMMUNICATIVE chief was
informally discussed, with the result
that little or no opposition TO the propo-
sition developed.
In order to get a more general eX-
preston of opinion it was decided to
defer the formal meeting until to-mor-
row morning. No other candidate is
possible and if any such action is at
tempted it will undoubtedly be carried
through.
General Gomez, if reinstated. would
be of great service to the United States
in the disbursement of the IS, 900 900, but
his political programme means the
keeping up of agitation and disturbance
in the minds of the people and the
weakening of American authority by
producing the impression that every
thing done by the Americans is tempo
rary and may sooner or later be over
turned.
American observers consider any such
agitation as extremely harmful to the
industrial revival and the restoration
Of Cuban credit Some who are high in
authority and who have exceptional OPP
portuntties of knowing the character
and ideas of Gomez think the United
States Government may have trouble
With him vet. His attitude has always
been consistent regarding independence
for Cuba and he is still working for the

GRANT REMAINS
AS A CANDIDATE
Yet After the Senatorial
Toga.
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

LOS ANGELES, April 6.-The dehnlte
announcement was made to-day by
James V. Kelley if Governor Gage calls
an extra session of the Legislature 10
elect a United States Senator, U. p
Grant will again be a candidate.
why should Mr.. Grant not be again
a factor in the contest?" asked Kelley,
during an interview He was always
in the lead during the baIloting in Sac
ramento and quit that fight with as
many votes as any enc else.
Owing to the relations existing be-
tween Grant and Kelley during ana
prior to the recent legislative contest,
this announcement is taken as ofhclal,
and has renewed interest in political
circles. Kelley admitted that, In view
of the many well-recognized contingent
cies and in view of his announcements
that Grant is still a candidate, call
for an extra session is not probable.
Kelley insists, however, that II no SEES
sion is called Grants friends will rally
to his support next session IN a deter
mined effort TO make the Legislature

will be presented as successor 10

Bacon. 1T is the third since the end

his Senatorial candidacy one year from
now. | am positive Colonel Burns Will
never be able to bring such a result
about for himself. That being the case,
I am convinced Governor Gage will
never convene the present Legislature
in extra session"
The assertion is positively made from
q reliable source that should Grant
make another effort to secure the Sena-
torial toga Milton J. Green will not be
the captain general in command OF the
Grant forces. James z. Brown OF san
Francisco will succeed Green, who IS
to be retained as one Of the many sub
lieutenants.
This same authority says that the
last campaign cost Grant not quite

now being overhauled by Grant. Of
the sum expended United States Sena-
tor EIkins of West Virginia and Rich

certain Santa Fe interests were also
represented in the contributions. 1t is
stated that the Santa Fe money did
not come from the local funds of the
company or from any of its agents, but
from the personal fortune Of a large
stockholder who had known General
Grant intimately.

IN DEAD OF NIGHT
Mrs. Spring Strips Her San Jose
Home and Her Husband Wants
to Stop Alimony.

SAN JOSE, April 6-Mrs. Emily Spring,
who pending the outcome OF divorce
suit against her husband, H. Nj. n.
Spring, is residing at Belvedere, returned
a few days ago and removed all the car
nets. furniture and pictures from their
handsome home at Seventh and San An
tonic streets. She secured nalt a
dozen draws and a force of men, and in
the dead of night carted away the goods.
When Spring visited the place the next
day it was bare. The furniture, which is
valued at several thousand dollars, was
traced to San Francisco and then 70 Bel
Vedere, where Mrs. Spring has furnished
a cottage she has taken for the summer.
To-day Spring filed an affidavit asking
that his wife be cited to appear and show
cause why she should not be deprived of
her 5000 per month alimony because OF her
removal of furniture and children from
the county The divorce case promises to
be interesting because of the prominence
of both parties.
