RIGHT OF WAY IN 1861.
Spring Valley Company Defends
Course of Lake Honda FIume.

Spring valley Company Defends
Course of Lake Honda FIume
The Spring Valley Water Company
yesterday fled an answer to the suit
begun last March by Emma L. Mer-
Titt, as executriX of the estate Of
Adolph SutrO, TO prevent the company
from running fumes from Lake Honda
over lands belonging to the Sutro
estate, between the coursing park and
COrbett avenue. After alleging that
the water company had begun the
construction of a flume over the prop
erty without right, Mrs. Merritt al
legged that the Sutro estate had been
damaged in the sum of $4,000.
The Spring Valley Company answers
that its right Of way was granted over
the lands by F. L. A. Phoebe, Levi Par
sons and John B. FELTON, in 1861 be-
fore the property was transferred by
them to SutrO. 1t says, too. that the
fumes have been maintained by the
company along the line in question for
thirty years and the construction COM
planned Of was merely in the way Of
rebuilding the waterway. After such
a long possession it is pleaded that the
action is barred by statute of limita-
tiCns, and furthermore il is asserted
that the fiume is a public utility in
that a third Of the inhabitants of San
Francisco receive their water supply
from the Lake Honda reservoir.

workings OF a poker game in his trial
OF the suit OF Milton Schmitt against
Marion Hirschman. son OF a Market

fendant Schmitt testified that during
the summer Of 1900, at various times
she handed Hirschman $3.50 at the
COncOrdia Club and that the loan had
never been repaid.
Hirschman admitted the obligation.
hut said IL was given TO him in the
form Of chips during the progress Of
= series Of poker games, at which he
and Schmitr were interested PLAYERS
Hirschman besides pleading the stat
ute Of limitations also claimed that
Schmitt could not recover because the
loan was in reality a gambling debt
-and as such was not countenanced by
Law.

LARGE STORAGE
BASIN NEEDED
SchuSsler Says City Cannot
Be Supplied With Water
by Natural Flow of Rivers
RAINFALL is ERRATIC
Spring Valley Is Planning
to Cope With Conditions
on Fifty Year Estimate

Herman Schussler, chief engineer OF
the Spring Valley W&ter Works, again
occupied the stand yesterday in the
proceedings brought against the city to
have the water rate fixed by the Super
visors set aside. The hearing promises
TO occupy a great length of time, as ex-
perts viii testify on both sides. Com
missioner Heacock is merely taking the
testimony, and no time is wasted in
arguments over disputed points Of law.
Schussler's testimony yesterday was
continuation Of that of Tuesday, con-
sisting chiefly of a description of the
water works, their capacity and the
presentation of maps showing the aV-
erage rainfall during the last fifteen
years, the amount caught in the reser-
vOirs and the wastage by overfiows and
evaporation. Attorney Partridge for
the city objected TO the introduction Of
this map, also TO a great deal of Schuss-
ler's testimony.
Upon questioning by Attorney Kel-
logg for the company the witness gave
his opinion regarding the establishment
of a water system TO be supplied by
the rivers and mountain streams. such
as has been suggested for a municipal
plant owing TO the vagaries of the
climate" he said 1t makes no differ
or from what source il is drawn; a
large storage reservoir is an absolute
necessity. The rivers all have their
high and low seasons, the low season
usually being about the end of sum-
mer. For this reason the natural flow
Of the rivers cannot be relied upon.
The Sierra Nevadas have few lakes or
natural reservoirs, and the slope is so
great that unless artificial catch-basins
are provided the water rapidly runs off
and is lost"
The witness then referred to the plans
for increasing the resources of the
Spring Valley Company, among these
being the enlargement of the Alameda
Creek system. If these plans are car
ried out, he said, the resources on the
peninsula, plus the Alameda Creek sys-
TEN, viii yield 10. 900, 600 gallons a day,
which, according to careful calcula-
tions, will be sufficient TO supply the
wants Of the city fifty years hence.
Very little water has been wasted by
the company in the last fifteen years.
During one very rainy season there was
a big loss owing to an overflow of the
then uncOmDleted Crystal Springs dam.
No water has been lost from the Pillar
citas Creek system except by evapora-
tiOn.
The hearing will be continued to-day.

Wednesday was the best attended out
ing ever given by that organization

bunch of lost babies waiting to be
claimed.
Every form Of amusement was
crowded into the day from racing to
dancing. Hundreds of valuable gate
prizes were offered. Announcement

Ear ont of Her Course

Shipping men are wondering what the Brit
ish ship Brodick Castle. which was supplied
with provisions by the navy transport Solace,
was doing nearly 1900 miles to the westward
Of Honolulu. She was bound from Iouique for
the Hawaiian port. Insurance men are won
dering why there only one chronometer on
board, and sailormen declare that even with
out a chrorometer the skipper OF the windjam-
mer should not have strayed 1900 miles off his
course According to the cablegram received
from Honolulu, the Brodick Castle short Of
provisions and with her chronometer broken.
was spoken and relieved by the Solace in 20 :3S
north 1888 west. The officers of the Solace
also told the skipper of the Brodick Castle ex-
actly where he was.

Coe I. Crawford; who says he
is a candidate for governor on
the republican ticket, is getting
lots Of applause-from demo
Gratis and populists. Mr.. Craw-
ford is gradually gathering
around him the army of the dis
contented, but as he does this
he is also driving away from
him republicans who might have
been willing to support him un
der ordinary conditions. While
making public speeches against
what he terms the machine he
is at the same time going from
county to county attempting to
build up a machine for his own
private use, and though he may
be meeting with but poor success
in this he is nevertheless doing
his best. As the attorney of the
Northwestern railroad, and as
the lobbyist Of that corporation
during several sessions of the
legislature, Mr.. Crawford is in
poor condition to come before
the people as a Performer An
excellent orator, one of the
smoothest public speakers in the

have difficulty in persuading
people that corruption is ram
