Council Invites the Water
Company to Submit Its
Figures by Next Tuesday
NEW DEAL is NOW ON
Bay Cities Proposition to
Supply City Will Be
Considered Without Delay
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
1916 Broadway, Dec. 20.


The City Council this evening ex-
tended an invitation to the Contra
Costa Water Company to submit a
figure at which it would be willing to
sell out it's plant to the people of Oak
land. This offer is to be submitted by
next Tuesday evening, at which time
the Council meets TO consider the Bay
Cities proposition to supply the city
with a competing system.
The resolution was introduced by
Councilman McAdam, who thought the
Contra Costa Company should be given
at least two weeks in which to submit
its bid. 1t was the general opinion of
the other members that this was too
long a time and would delay the work
and that the company already knows
what its plant is worth and can do it
just as well in two days as in two
weeks.
Councilman Aitken opposed making
any overture to the Contra Costa Com
pany and in this connection said: IF
you want to kill this proposition you
will begin dealing with the Contra
Costa Company. 1 believe that is just
a scheme TO delay and take the matter
before another Council. Mr.. Dingee has
had ample opportunity to submit an
offer and l do not believe that we
should have anything to do with him. "

FAMILY SILVER
Mr.. and Mrs. Barrie Wrangle
in Court for Possession
of Household Treasures
Berkeley Office San Francisco Call,

214S Center Street, Dec. 90.
Treasures of the family household
that once had been shared in common
between Mr.. and Mrs Alexander Bar
lie were the subject Of bitter dispute
to-day in Justice Edgar's court during
the trial of Mrs. Barrie's action,
brought to recover possession of fam
which. she declares. her husband is re-
tanning without right at his home on
Fulton street.
Spoons, dishes, bric-a-brac, old
books, hymnals, poems and much of
the sort of stuff that households ac-
cumulate and hold dear because of
associations rather than for intrinsic
worth were coldly appraised by experts
on the stand, while lawyers represent
Ing the warning parties wrangled over
the values set by these experts.
This Golden Treasure of Song "
said Attorney Church to an expert,
you say is worth 'steen dollars. Now
is it not a matter of fact that it could
be bought fer - dollars, and that no
such value as you give it could be col
lected If it were sold?"
Thus down the line, even to a Moody
and Sankey hymnal went the argu-
ment over those things which were col
lected by Mr.. and Mrs. Barrie during a
married life of many years, but which
now they take into court, where the
Judge is to sit as a Solomon, dividing
what were once treasures dear to both
and held by both.
Mrs. Barrie sues for s299, represent
ing, as she says, the value of the stuff
retained by her husband. The action
is a sequel to the divorce proceedings
of the pair. She makes her husbands
niece and nephew, Margaret and Ed
win Wade, cOdefendantS with her hus-
band.
When she sued for divorce a year ago
she accused Barrie of bringing Miss
Wade from the East here and keeping
her in the Barrie home against the
wife's wishes. She alleged that the
moral atmosphere of the home made
it an unfit place to rear the Barries'
daughter. Judge Ogden denied her a
divorce
Barrie then began suit for divorce,
charging cruelty. His wife came back
with a cross-complaint. alleging adul-
terry. The case is pending in the courts
of Alameda County.

zl4o center street, Dec. ~.
Charged with stabbing a young white
girl in the neck with his pocketknife,
little Wendell Griffin, a 10-year-old COL
ored lad, stood with tear-stained face
before Justice of the Peace Edgar to-
day. fearful that his fate would be Of
such seriousness as commonly befalls
malefactors caught red-handed in the
act
The youth used his knife on Mary
Helms, a 14-year-old girl as they quar-
relied in front of the Helms home, at
1915 Oregon street, South Berkeley, last
night. He declares that Mary Helms
attacked his little sister and that he
simply flew to his sisters relief
"Ah had nah pocketknife in th'
hand" said the colored lad to Justice
Edgar this morning as he faced the
court, and it cut her, / guess, but 1
didn't never know she was hurt till she
screamed. I didn't mean to hurt her
sure didn't"
The girl was not injured save for a
slight scratch where the knife blade
had penetrated her clothing, but her
parents believed formal complaint
should be made of young Griffins reck-
lessness. Accordingly Deputy Marshal
Pickett took the youthful offender into
court.
No formal complaint was entered
against the lad and he was released on
his own recognizance. Justice Edgar
will sit In the Juvenile court next
Wednesday, and at that time Griffin
will come before him for a hearing.

1915 Broadway. Dec. 2s.
Tired of proIonging litigation, the
heirs of the late Eleanor H. More have
agreed to divide $4,000 among Mrs. Cor
nelia A. Baldwin and Mrs. Eliza Miller,
sisters of the deceased, and Martha Du-
val, a niece. These three were disin-
herited and have kept up a fight for
four years. In order to make sure OF
something they have agreed to settle
for this sum, and John f. More and Z.
w. Watson, to whom was left the bulk
of an $4,000 estate, are willing to give
it to them.
Eleanor H. More during her lifetime
lived at Berkeley and by her will gave
her brother all of her property, with
the exception of a bequest Of $4,000 to
Watson. The sisters and niece contest
ed and the trial went so far as the
hearing of their evidence, when non
suit was granted. Much family bitter
ness was brought out and recrimina-
ton INDUCED in.
BY the report of the appraiser Of the
collateral inheritance tax in the case
of the heirs of the late Samuel I. Alex
ander it is shown that the brothers,
sisters, nephews and niece of the late
millionaire must pay $3.50 tax upon
their bequests. William D., James NJ,
Henry NJ, Mary ]. and Charlotte Alex
ander and Mrs. Annie Dickey received
$15, 900 each by the will, while to Charles
+. Alexander, William G. Cooke and
Helen A. Alexander $4,000 apiece was
left. The bequests amount to $1o5,00O,
on which the tax is due. The entire es-
tate is valued at 81 ,040. 900.
Charles c.. Dean, Mrs. Emily Dean
Allen and James B. Dean have asked
for a partial distribution of their moth
er's estate, valued at $4,000. and want
$4,000 distributed to each Of them at

News has just come from Oxford.
England, that William Clark Critten-
den, the Rhodes scholar from Califor-
MIA, has been made stroke of the first
Trinity Toga. This is the most impor-
tant position in the boat and practi-
cally it's captain. 1t is very remark
able for a freshman to win such an i'm
portant position, and it has not been
done for many years. Heretofore the
place has been given only to one who
had rowed for several years before
coming to Oxford. Many old oarsmen
tried for stroke. Most of the Rhodes
scholars rowing are from Canada.
South Africa, Australia and America.
and Crittenden's work is the best that
has been done by any of them.
Previously TO this Crittenden acted
as stroke in the freshman boat and
won a silver oar and the challenge
cup to keep for year. This cup has
the names of the winning stroke en-
graved upon it for many years back.
It was on account Of his GOODNESS and
good judgment as well as his skillful
handling of the boat that won Critten-
den this enviable honor.
