Poor place For Thieves.

Bermuda is not accustomed to thieves.
No experienced Bermudan will enter
the profession of pilfering. at least of
taking things that cannot be imme
diately eaten. For what can be done
with them? If any property is taken
the officers of the law have only to
watch the steamship docks. The stuff
cannot be disposed of on the islands.
They are too small, and everybody
knows everybody.
1t is Bermudan legend that once a
bicycle was stolen. 1t was the talk Of
the town. The next ensuing problem of
the thief was how to get any good OF
it. He did not dare use it; he could not
send 1t out of ti.c country. That he
finally gave it up" was proved when
six months later a fisherman brought
up the missing wheel from fairly deep
water upon his hook

GROWERS have
WATER RIGHTS
Judge Rhodes Gives Opinion
in Suit Brought Against
the Bay Cities Company
VICTORY FOR FRUITMEN
Issue at Stake Is the Use
of Subsurface Flows in
the Santa Clara Valley

SAN JOSE. Oct. 2S.-Judge Rhodes
to-day handed down an opinion in
which he overruIed the demurrers of
the Bay Cities Water Company to the
complaint in the suit brought by
Charles Hill TO restrain the company
from diverting the waters Of Coyote
Creek at a point where they sink into
underground strata, forming. so the
plaintiff alleges. an artificial supply
from Coyote station to Alviso.
Judge Rhodes enters fully into the
law governing the use OF subsurface
waters and the right to restrain by in
junction any interference with its use
by landowners beneath whose soil they
flow. and he deals minutely with the
physical features Of this valley, show
ing the formation of soil and strata,
the sources and trend Of the subsurface
waters and their necessity to the fruit
growers. He sustains the plaintiffs
contention as to the law. throwing upon
the defendant the task OF proving that
the physical facts in this particular
case are not such as would come under
the law as interpreted by the court.
The fruit growers in a large section
OF the valley are convinced that upon
the outcome of the suits against the
company depends the future success or
failure of their crops. and this decision
is hailed by them as a distinct victory
at the initial stage Of the proceedings.

The diamonds stolen from the resi-

Mrs. Hirschfeld SCOTS at the police

While Mrs. Hirschfeld is satisfied
with the return Of her property and is
not anxious TO press the case. the police
are still attempting to run the robber

to Meet Attack, Which Does
Not MateriaIize


NOGALES, A T., Oct. 2S.-The resi-
dents of Nogales. Sonora, were terrified
last night by the report that a party
of hundred or more Yaqui Indians
were hiding in the mountains back of
that town awaiting an opportunity to
make an assault on the place. A
rancher named Draga, who lives in the
foothills of Huachuca Mountains
reached Nogales about dusk with the
report. About midnight messenger
arrived from the same section, con-
firming the story and stating that the
Indians on the warpath were we'll sup
piled with arms and ammunition.
The authorities bestirred themselves,
practically the whole town was aroused
and all preparations were made for the
attack so fully expected. Eight years
ago the Indians attacked the Nogales
Custom-house and the officials believed
that the assault would be made at that
point BY morning nothing had been
heard or seen of the party and the
people of the town relaxed their vigil
ance.
Colonel Kosterlitzky. who is at Mag

dians are on the warpath in Northern

cept them with a detachment of
Rurales, as it is believed they have

collision occurred upon the North
Shore Railroad early this morning be-
tween two work trains between La

PUPILS RECITE
AT CALIFORNIA
CLUB QUARTERS

The music section of the California
Club had a red-letter day session yes
terday afternoon when Miss Estelle
Carpenter, the supervisor of music in
the public schools, gave a pupils re-
cital.
The rooms were smartly decorated
with poinsettias and huckIeberry, with
red and green accessories, all of which
added greatly TO the charm Of the hour.
One hundred and fifty children from
eight schools took part in the pro-
gramme, which proved a revelation to
many of the audience-tney who still
clung to the ideas of school children's
singing, CLEANED from the performances
of ye olden time, when the loudest
singer was the best.
A class from the Garfield School on
Telegraph Hill garnered laurels by its
splendid rendition of part songs; but
these little Latinists are born with
latent music in their souls
Miss Augusta Robertsons class from
the Pacific Heights made a splendid
showing in part songs, as did Miss
Cohn's baby class member. who gave
a motion song.
The sight-reading by children from
Miss Holdin's class was something of
a surprise. as not an error was de-
tected.
The programme closed with 1T Takes
Nine Tailors to Make a Man." from
Robin Hood" and the anthem Amer
lea" AT the rendering of the national
hymn the audience rose-as it should
and the proud young Americans
marched out to receive the congratu-
lations Of the club members and guests,
