OAKLAND's HOT WATER.

VERY able and public spirited member OF the
"A Oakland committee, writing The
4 Call, says OF the report OF the committee:
That portion Of it treating OF the conflicting claims
OF Oakland and the Spring Valley Water Works to
the waters OF Alameda Greek ought to be of special
interest to the people Of San Francisco Alameda
Creek is the only adequate OF water supply for
Oakland. Berkeley and Alameda, cities tributary to
San Francisco, and 1 beg suggest you that ir-
respective of ethical principle involved, II is greatly
to the interest OF San Francisco that the Spring Val
ley Water Works be not permitted to take from the
cities across the bay their only sufficient supply of
water"
That IS the neigbborly view Of II, but it is not
? question Of letting the Spring Valley Water Com
pany do anything. That company furnishes supply
OF water for the people of this city, and its rights
On Alameda Creek are the creature OF that legal
function which II has undertaken So the issue Will
be seen to be not between the people of Oakland
and the Spring Valley corporation, but between
the people OF Oakland and the people OF San Fran
cisco The people Of Oakland will see at once that
II is not safe build their future water supply upon
the grace and mercy OF the present generation of peo
pie in San Francisco. Such supply must be, in the
first instance upon the solid foundation of legal right
judcially affirmed.
The Oakland committee puts the city Of Brooklyn
n Y the list of American cities which take their
water supply from wells 1t IS our recollection that
Brooklyn party a suit involving exactly the
issue that viii arise between Oakland and the Spring
Valley Company. A private corporation was pump
ing from the ground source as the city OF
Brooklyn and using the water so obtained as public
supply, does the Spring Valley. That private
corporation brought suit against Brooklyn for ex-
cessve pumping, 10 the depletion OF its supply
needed for its customers. Brooklyn answered that
the increased rate Of pumping was made necessary
by the increased demand. The issue was joined and
tried and Brooklyn lost and was restrained from de
pleting the supply OF the corporation.
This case seems make II clear that Oakland can
not safely undertake the acquisition of water sup
ply the adequacy OF which may soon depend upon
depletion Of the Spring Valley supply 1t is legal
question that can hardly 60 upon the opinion of law
yers. but be settled only by judicial decree
We intend no opposition the aspirations OF Oak
land IN the matter OF water supply But the public
policy Of that city in regard TO water has so far
been characterized by many bunders and mistakes
due to proceeding upon prejudice and passion that it
IS friendly act TO spont out the difficulties legal or
physical, in any policy that is proposed

JEROME IS AFTER SETH LOWS
 SCALP.
If Low is Renominated Jerome Says the Fusionists Will Go Down Tn Defeat and Tammany Will Again Control
 the City.

New York Special to New Orleans Pic
 ayune
 District Attorney Jerome, who had in tended to spend the entire month of Sep- tember at his country home in Lakeville, Conn.,, cut short his vacation and returned to this city tonight.
 MT. Jerome made no secret of the fact that his purpose in coming here was to prevent if possible, the ratification of the nomination of Mayor Low by the conven- tons of the various parties represented in the fusion conference committee.
 MT. Jerome was not ready to discuss lis plans this evening, beyond saying that he Intended to confer with friends for a cay or two before making any statement for publication.
 Mir. Jerome has long been opposed 70 the renomination of Mayor Low, but aside from his personal feelings, he is con- Vinced that MT. Low stands not the slightest chance of reelection. He be- neves that the coming campaign. with MT. Low as the standard-bearer can re- suit only in disaster to the fusion forces and the restoration of Tammany rule He has gone to the extent of saving in con- Versation with friends that he believed there was no man of prominence in the fusion ranks who would not be stronger with the voters than the present Mayor.
 He has declared that in all his wide &C., quaintance he has not met a single man who believes MT. Low can be reelected.
 MT. Jerome believes that the Republi- can organization has not been sincere in advocating the nomination of MT. Low He bases this belief on the fact that he was waited upon last spring by a repre- sentative of MT. Platt, who offered him the support of the Republicans for the Mayoralty. Mir. Jerome said he did not want the nomination, whereupon he was told by MT. Platt's representative that there was nothing to do but nominate Mir. Low and give 1t to him in the neck.
 MT. Jerome has discussed with friends what his attitude in the campaign shall be if MT. Lows name Is finally put at the head of the fusion ticket. He has told his freinds that he will not stultify his past utterances by saying anything in be- half of Mir Low.
 If his services are desired under these circumstances. he will ask the voters to

 There has been much talk of MT. Je- rome as the fusion candidate for Mayor in case MT. Low should decline a rencp,- ination. MT.
