WATER OFFICIALS DENY
REMOR OF NEGOTIATIONS
Story That Cragin Has Made Advances
Looking to Large Deal Is Dis
credited

President Howard and Frank j.
Symmes of the Spring Valley Water
Company and Manager Beal of the
Bay Cities Water Company denied
emphatically yesterday that Edward
f. Cragin has been negotiating for a
sale OF combination of the water COM
panies which they respectively repre-
sent. A story that such negotiations
were in progress was published in a
local paper yesterday morning.
Il never heard of the story until 1
saw it in print" declared President
Howard. There is no truth in it,
Mr.. Symmes said he had attended a
meeting of the directors of the
Spring Valley yesterday and none of
the directors had been approached
and none knew of any negotiations.
Mr. Symmes is the chairman of the
executive committee of the Spring
Valley.

FRAUD CHARGED
BY CREDITORS

Fraud and conspiracy are charged
against the bankrupt grocery firms
known as Olson Bros. and the Olson
Company, Fred L. Hilmer, George L..
Fish and the City and County Bank
in suit filed yesterday by Harris
Bros. & Co., alleged creditors of the
defunct firm, in the sum of S8640 IL.
Henry, j. M. and Nelson p. Olson,
stockholders in the corporations
named. are joined as the principal de-
PENDANTS.
After reciting the facts surround
ing the assignment of the firms at a
meeting of creditors called by the
Board of Trade, the plaintiffs go on
to say that in January last the defend
ants named met and eonspired to de-
fraud the creditors of the firm named.
In furtherance of their conspiracy the
City and County Bank. holding a claim
of $4,000 against the bankrupts, took
over the leases of the premises occu-
pied by the stores of the bankrupts
and made claim that it held the same
as security for the payment of the sum
due it. AS a matter of fact, the plain
tiffs allege, the City and County Bank
never held the leases as security until
the same were turned over to it at the
time of the meeting referred to. The
leases are said to be worth $4,000.
Following this act 1t is alleged that
the bankrupt firms transferred to
George L. Fish all of their assets for
consideration of $4,000, claiming
they had sold the same to Fish out
right and would divide the proceeds
among the creditors. The assets
plaintiffs claim, are worth $4,000, and
the $4,000 paid over by Fish was
only in the nature of loan, 1t being
understood that he was to continue the
business of the corporations for one
year and that at the end of that time
the Olson brothers were to have the
right to again take possession upon
the repayment of the sum loaned.
1t is alleged further that Hilmer and
the City and County Bank were mem
bers of the creditors committee, and
as such had special opportunity to
carry out the conspiracy, and that
Nelson P. Olson was paid $4,000 and
j. NJ. Olson $1,000 to secure their con-
sent to the scheme.
In conclusion the plaintiffs ask that
the court decree that Hilmer holds the
assets of the firms in trust for the
benefit of the creditors and, this done,
that he be removed and some fit per-
son appointed to succeed him; that
the court decree the alleged sale to
Fish to be null and void and that the
leases of the stores be placed among
the assets and declared not to be held
as security by the City and County
Bank

HEWITT STILL
ON THE GRILL

The Supervisors Finance Committee
yesterday resumed its investigation
into the violations of the ordinance re-
quiring all wires to be placed under
ground in certain districts. Chief
Hewitt of the Department of Electric
lty was again questioned regarding his
failure to compel companies maintain
ing overhead wires to place them un-
derground. He submitted a list of
fourteen such companies.
Joseph H. Blakely, foreman of con-
struction, testified that there are quite
a number of wires strung Oh poles Of
the San Francisco Gas and Electric
Company, Western Union Company
and other companies in underground
districts Nos. /, 2 and 3. Hewitt said
that he was under the impression that
he had ordered the wires to be taken
down.
General Superintendent Jaynes of the
Western Union Company said that all
of its telegraph wires had been put
underground, but there might be some
so-called -'clock wires" still remaining
overhead.
Unless you can show that the Su-
pervisors by a resolution suspended the
ordinance you have been seriously
derelict in your duty" said Chairman
Brandenstein to Hewitt.
I'VE have persistently ordered poles
and wires down despite the supension
of the ordinance said Hewitt.
THE clerks have gone through the
records and can find no such resolu-
tion of suspension" said Brandenstein.
Well" said Hewitt, If you will di-
rect me to cut down the poles / will
begin work tonight"
You want a letter of instructions to
do IA Rra
stein. "All you have to do is to see
that the law passed in 1900 is obeyed. -
superintendent Naphthaly of the San
Francisco Gas and Electric Company
said that the company was proceeding
to take down Its poles in the under
ground district, but claimed it was an
injustice to compel his concern to re-
move them when others are allowed to
stand Naphthaly said it would cost
5000, 900 to place the company's wires
underground in three districts. The
delay was caused by the fact that the
city still maintained it's wires overhead,
Naphthaly said.
Hewitt claimed that the funds We're
insufficient to put the citys wires un-
derground, but Expert Williams pro-
duced a statement showing that nearly
$500, 900 had been set aside for the pur-
pose in the last four years. Hewitt
said he considered a burglar alarm
system as exempt from the prohibitory
provisions of the ordinance and had
granted a permit to string overhead
wires to the San Francisco Electric
Protective Company for that reason.
The committee thereupon asked the
City Attorney for an opinion on the
subject.
The investigation will be resumed
next Tuesday at 2 o'clock p. m, when
six more companies will be questioned
as to why their wires have not been
put underground.

ON THE ALERT
FOR COLLINS

With John Zimmerman behind the
bars of the Martinez Jail charged with
stealing $4,000 from John E. Daily, who
had charge of the Central Bank money
sacks, the search for Zimmerman's
much wanted confederate, Tom
Collins, is being prosecuted with vigor.
Zimmerman was further identified at
Martinez and his bail is fixed at $4,000.
Although Detectives Taylor, Dinan and
Wren are still being held on the case
by Captain Burnett, there is slight
possibility or hope Of catching Collins
on this side of the bay.
Across the bay the Sheriffs OF two
counties are relentlessly following any
and every clew that may lead to the
capture of the suspect Already ar
rests in various parts Of the State have
been reported, but in every instance
the man caught has not been the man
wanted.
Sheriff Veale of Contra Costa County
hastened to Byron Springs on receipt
of word that Collins had been caught,
bur the man in custody was a work
man who had slight resemblance to
Collins. The hot springs of the State
are being especially watched, for it is
known that of late Collins has been
suffering agony from rheumatism and
might have to visit them for relief.
The police of Bakersfield captured
Collins suspect, but later advices
stated that the man had proved his
identity. The police and Sheriffs are
confident. however, that Collins cap
ture is only a question Of a few days.
Every means of escape is guarded
The police here, while almost sure
that he is not in the city. are never
theless, watching the water front to
prevent his attempting to leave by way
of river or deep sea vessels.
The draft Of Zimmerman letter to
Collins indicates plainly that Collins
was within a days journey from this
city Tuesday, the time the letter was
written. Zimmerman indicated his
intention of leaving Wednesday by the<
river, which might show that Collins
is hiding in the valley.
Frederick Clinton Manchester of 631
Van Ness avenue yesterday visited
police headquarters in regard to the
watch and fob found on Zimmerman
at the time of his arrest. He told Cor
poral ellis in the property clerks office
that the description tailed with that
of a fob he had lost In Golden Gate
Park two years ago.
