UNKNOWN MAN LEAVES
NO CHANCE TO SURVIVE

OAKLAND, Jan. 1O-The body of an
unidentified man, who had taken elabor-
ate steps to die by gas asphyxiation. was
found this afternoon in the Grand Hotel
on Washington and Ninth streets. The
man worked for his breakfast yesterday
and then disappeared. He must have
stolen into the room where he died and
prepared for death. He nailed down the
window. sealed all the cracks and key
holes with bed linen and after undressing
turned on the two gas jet keys. There
was nothing in the effects by which he
might be identified. A letter written ito
my parents by Fred in 1895 from the
Echo Mountain House, on the summit of
Mount Lowe, and a memorandum show
ing how much the writer had earned from
-. c. de Haven, did not reveal his
name. His clothes were black and shabby

Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL BUREAU. 14O6 G STREET, N.
W, WASHINGTON. Jan 1O.-Dr Wiley
will establish a kindergarten department
in his bOraX eating school in the Bureau
of Chemistry, and in addition to the in
fant class a group of adult invalids will
be enlisted to aid the Government scien-
lists in their researches.
This plan Of extending experiments orig
mated with Secretary Of Agriculture VIII

not view the prospect Of prescribing foods

from the founding hospitals of the city
with any degree of equanimity nor is he
enamored of the idea of putting a lot of
dyspeptics, volunteer and otherwise,
through a course in chemistry sufficient

billygoat.
THE idea Of extending the experiments
10 babies and invalids is Secretary Will
sons" said DR.. Wiley. ''and was urged
at the time we began experiments with
food preservatives. 1t would make the
tests more complete. OF course, and while
all experimental work is troublesome, ex-
periments with babies and persons in bad
health would not be more so. AS for OBJ
tanning subjects, that would not be hard.
We could get babies from infant asylums
ana rounding hospitals and there are
plenty Of invalids.'
The date for the beginning of expert
ments with babies and invalids has not
been decided upon. It is stated on excel
lent authority, however, that the expert
ments undertaken by the Bureau Of
Chemistry will last for three or four
years, during all of which time the sub
1ects Of scientific research will be nour-
ished at the expense of Uncle Sam
In line with the experiments with sub
jects Of tender years, DR.. Wiley has just
started another series of experiments
with so-called infants food. There are
now on the market, he says, a large
number Of articles of baby diet, and it is
TO determine whether they are fit for food

the work, but he viii be supplanted in a
few days by DR.. l. +. Kebler, civil ser
vice chemist from Philadelphia, who will
come TO Washington to assume control of
the infant class.
Many Of the baby foods for sale in this
country, It is alleged, are not fit for In
fants, and all impure articles will be put
on the blacklist by Congress when the ex-
periments are concluded. This work will
be done entirely in the laboratory. Dr.
Wiley states that babies will not be ex-
perimented upon with infant food prepa-

SPRING VALLEYS HOLDINGS.

The Spring Valley Works operations in
Alameda Creek are elaborately discussed
as of prime Importance to Oakland. The
committee declares that Alameda and
Calaveras creeks are the natural sources
OF supply for the communities on the
east side of the bay and very soon will
constitute the only sufficient supply. In
that connection the committee says:
We advise that Oakland may, by judicial
proceedings II no satisfactory arrangement
can be made by contract condemn such of the
property of the Spring Valley Water Works
as may be necessary to give water III
there is a question to whether we should
have a right to condemn and appropriate the
water to the extent already diverted for use
to San Francisco by the Spring Valley Water
Works there be no question that the waters
all of the storm waters on the Alameda and
Calaveras water sheds, may be condemned.
Engineer Herring sums up his report on
the Niles gravel beds as follows:
Briefly It can be said that the storage capa-
city of the Niles Cone and the quantity of water
now flooding over the Spring Valley Water
Works dam and naturally percoating into this
cone from the river bed are together sufficient
to assure a SAFE permanent draft of water
below Niles of 15oo0 000 gallons day
Engineer Sanders says:
am convinced that the City OF Oakland
would make no mistake in selecting as its
source to be thoroughly reliable and | suggest
the acquisition by the city of various tracts
considerably scattered within this general
water bearing

111S Broadway, Jan To-
Dissatisfaction with the advanced
preaching Of their pastor, Rev. H. ]. Vos-
burgh. caused twenty-seven members OF
the First Baptist Church TO resign their
membership in that organization last
night and form another religious institu-
ton. for which the name Calvary Bap-

new church was founded In the Universe

the pledge of allegiance on bended knee
and subsequently, elected the following Of
ficers: Moderator. Henry E. Gilbert;
clerk, J. A. Spangler; treasures, Mrs. Ma
thilda Brown: Sunday school superintend-
ent, S. A. Green. The Rev. M. Slaughter
and the Rev. Hugh Brown guided the In
fant church in its preliminary organizd-
ton.
The seceders say they have withdrawn
because they could not agree with the
former pastors views on the blood atone
ment, the higher criticism and other ten
cts of the church. Pastor NOsburgh and
the 400 remaining members of the churcu
say that the minority is really disgruntlcd
because the majority would not rebuild
the burned church on Fourteenth street

under the unfortunate system we have just
reviewed have become uncomfortable
-Four sources of available water supply
were Investigated. namely: San Pablo
and Pinole creeks, supplemented by arte-
sian wells within the city limits: the
Contra Costa Water Works; the Niles
gravel bed, usually called by engineers
the Niles Cone, and Alameda Creek.
PLAN INADEQUATE.
The San Pablo and PinoIe proposition
was eliminated on the ground that the
quantity of water would be insufficient
for futurue needs. The Contra Costa
Water Company's distributing plant i~
declared to be inadequate to the needs of
the city. On the Niles gravel beds the
report recites, after detailed description
and engineering data are presented:
There can be no doubt that the Niles
gravel bed constitutes an immense nat
uraI reservoir of filtered water, from
which sufficient may be obtained not only
for Oakland, but also for Berkeley and
Alameda, unless the inflow into this res
ervoir is permanently cut off,"
The report runs:
This gravel bed covers an area of from six
TO ten square miles and is of unknown depth.
we'll near Niles has been bored to the depth
of 222 feet without reaching It's bottom. Be
fore water was diverted from Alameda Greek
5000 eco gallons flowed, the dry season.
daily through the canyon to the neighborhood
of the railroad bridge below Niles, and then
sank into the gravel bed. The water in this
gravel bed undergoes natural 4process of
filtration and is OF the best quality
Whether the inflow can be cut off permanent
~ is the subject of discussion by the dis
tinguished engineers. Herring and Sanders. The
New York expert who came. to the coast at the
invitation of the committee believes and re-
ports that under present conditions the MI s
gravel beds will furnish an ample supply for
Oakland. but he does not say it is impossible
for the Spring Valley Water Works to cut off
the inflow Sanders fatty asserts that the
Spring Valleys operations cannot shut off the
inflow claiming that more water falls on the
water sheds OF Alameda and Calaveras creeks
than is visible or Is taken by evaporation or
