WATERY TALK
BY SCHUSSLER
He DiSparageS Tuolumne'S
Rain Capacity and Says
Lake Tahoe Is Tainted

Herman SchussIer chief engineer of
the Spring Valley Water Works. testi-
fed yesterday before United States
Commissioner Heacock and repeated
his statement that the water of Lake
Tahoe was contaminated by refuse and
drainage from dwellings, and hotels.
He then turned his attention to the
question Of storage sites on the Tuol-
umne River. He viii go on again this
morning.
Assistant City and County Attorney
John S. Partridge had the following TO
say yesterday about Schussler's testi-
mony:

ENGINEERS HEAR VIEWS
OF LOCAL RIVER EXPERTS
Marsden Manson Discusses Ways TO
Eliminate Mining Debris in
the Sacramento.

The engineers commission for the in
vestigation of the food regions of the
Sacramento River resumed its hearing
yesterday morning at the Flood build
ing
The entire attention Of the board
was taken up by Marsden Manson.
an engineer and expert of this city.
who appeared before the commission TO
give his view on the DEVIATION of floods
and the reclamation of swamp lands.
In the opinion of Manson the only
way to cut canals in order 10 carry off
the debris that comes from the head
waters and the mines is to parallel the
course of the river, and not TO con-
struct at right angles TO any part of
its flow In other words. where the
bends of the river are east and west
canals may be cut north and south to
lateral bends farther down the river.
Where the bends are north and south
the river will accomplish its own pur-
pose with the aid of the constructed
canals.
One cut in particular was recon-
mended TO save much land from being
flooded. A canal from the Sacramento
at Grays Bend. above the Feather Riv-
er, to the Sacramento at the ElkhOrn
ranch, below the Feather River, would
in the opinion of Manson, facilitate in
carryins, deposits to Suisun Bay.
Another suggestion was made to cut
canals connecting the Yuba and Bear
rivers. that the combined water
would flow through the American Basin
into the Sacramento near the mouth Of
the Feather River.
1t is impossible to eliminate the de-
posts of debris from the mining re-
gions. he said. To such an extent has
this evil grown that in many places in
Suisun Bay where previously banks
were twenty feet below the surface they
are now commencing to appear on the
surface. The hearing will be continued
at 10 O'Clock to-day

Japanese Scientist Is
Here to Meet
Confreres.

OF all the men that have done
things" one Of the most interesting
and whose work has been most worth
while" is Dr. s. Kitazato, the world
famous japanese bacteriOlogist, who
arrived here yesterday on the liner
Coptic. Kitazatos name is familiar
wherever the secrets OF science are
seriously searched after. In the school
Of archaeological research his name
stands side by side with that OF Pro-
fessOr Koch. the great German saNant,
in whose Laboratories in Berlin hlta-
cato spent seven years In Japan Kit
azato is credited with knowledge Him
liable: 10 all the world he is as nearly
an absolute. authority as humankind
can be.
In company with other distinguished
people Ritazato is on his way to St
Louis TO attend the congress Of arts
and sciences. He leaves for the East
tomorrow and before returning 10
japan will visit President Roosevelt
Kitazato-s name received its f1rst
general prominence when he discovered
the bacillus of tetanus- This was dur
ing the time he was working with Pro
lessor Koch. The latter. however, gives
all the credit for the discovery to his
japanese confrere. who solved the
problem alone on lines of his own lay
inE
Soon after kitazato returned TO
Japan the island kingdom was visited
by the bubonic plague and it was in
lighting the pestilence that he located
the plague bacillus. a discovery which
has been Of infinite value in handling
subsequent epidemics-
KitazatO is now at the head OF
government institute founded for the
purpose OF making scientific investga-
ton OF anything Of national impor-
lance.
As an example Of the work Of this
institute: Shortly after the soldiers
began TO take the field in the present
war il was discovered that many OF the
horses were dying OF anthrax. The
matter was referred 10 kitazatO and
within a short time he was prepared
10 inoculate the animals with an anti
anthrax vaccine Every horse sent 10

twice and when KitaZatO left Japan
the institute had turned out under his
direction. more than $4,000 dozen doses

Kitazato speaks only German IN ad-

like a prosperous money king than

Professor Hozumi read law in
London, where he was admitted as
barrister 10 the Inner Temple. Ho-
Zumi belongs to a family that has
done much toward the advancement
of Japan. When Commodore Perry
first went TO Japan he was enter
tanned by one of the professors an
cestors, 10 whom the naval officer
presented an English dictionary.
That dictionary was treated Sc
riouslY. 1t was handed from member

lance with the English language.
That book IS still in the family.
When Hozumi returned TO Japan

Miss Atowi is in the first class. In
Japan her name is a household word.
and yesterday. when a party of local
Japanese was presented TO the lady
there was an exhibition of bowling
and shifting that looked for while as
If it would never end. Each little
brown gentleman rolled his eyes and
bowed as only a japanese can at least
nine times. Between each bow there
was a peculiar shifting inhalation OF
the breath. But the lady liked it, and
for every bow and each sniffle she had
a sweet. oriental smile.

Woman That Painted
DoWager's Picture
Is Modest.

Miss Katherine Augusta Carl, the
American woman who painted the
famous portrait of the Dowager En-
press OF China, arrived here yesterday
from the orient. Miss Carl is going TO
st. Louis TO join her brother, who is
one OF China's commissioners to the
Worlds Fair.
The Empress is the most maiiSned
woman on earth" said Miss Carl yes
terday. She has been painted as worse
than one Of the legendary dragons of
Chinese lore, when. as a matter of fact.
she is one of the dearest, gentlest
women it has ever been my good for
tune to meet. l had exceptionally good
opportunities of judging. and l know
that / am right when l say that the
Empress is neither cruel nor selfish.
Miss Carl. who met the DOwaSer
through Minister Conger, found in the
aged ruler a sister in art. The En-
press is something of a painter herself,
and on this ground of common interest
4 warm friendship sprang up. Miss
Carl spent two years at the palace and
in that time made four portraits of tFe
Empress. The one sent to St. Louis
with so much ceremony was the most
conventional and. so Miss Carl declares,
the least interesting.
Miss Carl returns TO America to find
herself famous but flatterers viii find
her a poor subject for their attentions.
If this prominence had come as the
result OF my work itself / might enjoy
it," she says. but most of the people [
meet have never seen a mark from my
brush. My fame has gone forth because
| happened to paint famous woman.
The pleasure was mine, but would
be very blind if ! allowed myself TO
take any credit for it
While in this country Miss Carl is
under enga cement TO paint several Dor
traits and will probably remain in
America about two years.
