CASE BEFORE
COURT.M MARTIAL
Captain Frank A. Cook Is
Being Tried at the Pre-
SidiO on Two Charges
is HIS OWN COUNSEL
Declines Assistance of an
Attorney to Defend Him
and Is Fighting Alone

The trial Of Captain Frank A. Cook
came UP before the courtImartial at
the Preside yesterday morning at 10
o'clock olonel Charles Morris is
president of the board and Captain
John ]. Bardley is judge advocate
The charges preferred against Captain
Cook are conduct unbecoming an Of
ficer and a gentleman and that of
breaking a pledge to his commanding
officer that he would abstain from all
intoxicating liquors for three years
from March 8, 1908. Some half
dozen witnesses were called before the
court yesterday to prove that they had
seen the exhibition which Captain
Cook made of himself in a resort on
the corner of O'Farrell street and
Grant avenue. The testimony offered
was practically all on the same point
1t was to the effect that Captain Cook
had come into the resort in what ap-
peared to be an intoxicated condition
and had so intruded his presence on
some patrons of the house that the
barkeeper was forced to eject him.
The result was a scrimmage on the
sidewalk, which wound up by Captain
Cook being arrested and taken to jail,
where the next morning Judge Mogan
nned MIN SlO Tor OlSIuTDlrS the peace
He sailed for Manila June 1, but
when the news of the rumpus reached
the ears of General Macarthur he
cabled to Honolulu and ordered Cook
back to San Francisco. Captain Cook,
IL is reported, did not deny in any way
the scrimmage that took place, but he
was endeavoring to prove that his ac-
tions were not caused by the use Of
intoxicants. 1t will be some time be-
he fa1 f5 Will
probably be necessary to bring several
more witnesses to testify.
General Macarthur, accompanied by
his aids and staff, left yesterday morn
ing at o'clock for Camp Atascadero,
where he goes to witness the big bat
tie maneuvers which will be taken
part in by troops of the regular army
and State militia. The big exercises
begin Saturday, August 13, and will
last until August 27.
Colonel William NJ. Pitcher, with
his provisional regiment. composed of
men from the Tenth, Thirteenth and
Twenty-eighth infantries. with the
splendid band of the Twenty-eighth
Infantry. departed late yesterday
afternoon for Atascadero. Previous to
starting from the Presidio the troops
gave a fine parade. which was wit
messed and applauded by a large num-
ber of spectators. The Fifteenth In
fantry. from Ord Barracks. left yes
terday for Camp Atascadero and by
neon to-day there will be nearly 5000
troops on the campgrounds.
The State militia will leave different
parts of this State on Friday and will
find everything ready for their recep-
ton on Saturday afternoon at the
camp. Arrangements for their recep-
ton are complete. They will be there
on the same lines and under the same
jurisdiction as the men of the Federal
army.

SPRING.
VALLEY SYSTEM
Engineer Schussler Tells
of Care Taken to Provide
for Needs of the Public
COMPARISON OF PLANS
Says Plant Suggested by
Grunsky Would Take Years
to Build and Still Be Unsafe

Herman Schussler, chief engineer for
the Spring Valley Water Works, occu-
pied the witness stand yesterday in
Judge Heacock's court during the hear
ing of the suit to declare illegal the
water rate fixed by the Board of Super
visors. The questions were all asked on
direct examination by Attorney Kel-
logg for the water company, and elic
tied chiefly mass of figures regarding
the rainfall and the capacity of various
reservoirs. Maps showing the rainfall
from year to year were admitted in evl-
dence, and Schussler also compared the
Spring Valley plant with the one prom
ised by former City Engineer Grunsky.
According to Schussler, Grunsky fol-
lowed as closely as possible the system
of the Spring Valley Company, but
service on the lines laid down by Grun-
sky would be dangerous, because vast
storage reservoirs are needed to tide
over the years of light rainfall. The
rapid increase of the population of the
city is also an important item.
The testimony given by Schussler was
largely a comparison of the system laid
out by Grunsky and that of the Spring
Valley Company, his object being to
show that a comparative value could
not be based on the water works
planned by Grunsky and made to apply
to the system of the Spring Valley
Company. The city's demand for water,
he said. has increased beyond eXpecta-
ton, but owing to the precautions
taken by the Spring Valley Company
its residents have not suffered in years
Of drought.
map showing the annual rainfall
for some years was presented 1t also
showed how much water had been
stored each year. The witness explained
variations in the rainfall and storage
by saying that after dry year the
ground would be so parched that a sue
ceeding wet year would not give the re-
suits a layman might expect. The in
creased consumption of water for irri-
cation purposes also reduced the sup
ply. AS an instance of this Schussler' 5
figures showed that in April, 1894, the
reservoirs contained $4,000, 900 900 gal
Ions of water. while in February, 1904,
they contained but 10. .0O0. 900, 900 gallons.
This falling off was explained by in
creased consumption, dry years and
evsporati n.
Prom 1897 to 1903" said the witness,
very little water was gathered, and
had il not been for the precautions
taken by us the city would have been
without water. The results might have
been disastrous. 1t happened, however,
that the preceding years, from 1893 to
1897, were very good. and with our sys-
tenn we had stored sufficient water to
carry us over
The whole of Schussler's testimony
was calculated TO show that municipal
water system without series of stor-
age reservoirs could not be used as a
basis on which TO estimate the value of
the Spring Valley plant. The hearing
viii be resumed this morning.

SAYS BRUTAL HUSBAND
TORE HER SHIRT WAIST
Charge of Cruelty in Divorce Suit.
Two Marriages Broken and an
Annulment Granted.

Mrs. Emily Wendt yesterday filed
suit for divorce against Oscar Wendt,
a painter, on the ground of extreme
cruelty. They were married in 1888
and have two children. She says that
he tore her shirt waist and made vile
and untrue charges regarding her re-
lations with other men. Also he is
said to have struck her and to have
come home at unusual hours in the
morning, when he would wake her up
to quarrel. They live at Nineteenth
and Shotwell streets and he is said to
have $4,000 in bank and other prop
erty interests. She asks for SIS a
month alimony and $3.50 for attor-
ney's fees.
Judge Kerrigan yesterday granted
divorces to Charles r. Anderson from
Emma G. Anderson on the ground Of
desertion, and to Nettie Bell from
James r. Bell for desertion.
Judge Kerrigan annulled the mar
riage of Orlando Macy to Sarah Macy
upon a showing of documentary evil
dence proving the previous marriage
of the defendant. The case first came
up for hearing on July %, at which
time the court demanded more evil
dence.

Sues for Malicious Arrest.

A small bill and an alleged battery
are involved in a suit begun yesterday
in the Superior Court by George M.
Cook against A. Fodera, a poultry
dealer. Cook demands $4,000 damages,
$500 for false arrest and $500 for
pain and humiliation suffered when
one Demartini, representing the de-
fendant, assaulted Cook at the outer
door of Judge Conlan's Police Court
on the day when the case against the
plaintiff in this case was dismissed.
Cook says that he owed Fodera $40 SO
and the latter called to collect. Cook
told him to come next day, but Fo-
dera said he would stay until the bill
was paid. Then Cook ordered him out
of the place and on that was based
the charge for arrest.

REPORTS ON CONDITION.
The report of the United States Geo
logical Survey on the flow, discharge
and reservoir sites of both the Sacra-
mento and San Joaquin rivers will be
offered first, to be followed probably
by a report written several years ago
by James B. Eads, constructor of the
great jetties of the Mississippi, and an
other prepared by J. Hamilton Hall,
former State Engineer, on the Sacra-
mento overflow. Interested persons, in
Guiding State officials owners of inun-
dated lands, engineers, mining men and
commercial men, will then be called
upon to suggest ways and means to
improve the situation.
After hearing these witnesses the
board, accompanied by many prom
inent men, will inspect the conditions
as they exist. A river steamer will be
chartered for the purpose, and it is the
opinion at this time that the trip will
extend over a week or more. Every
bend, shallow and broken levee will be
shown the commission.
Room II of the Flood building has
been fitted uD for the sessions of the
board. This morning the commission
will organize and select a chairman and
