ASK QUICK ACTION
IN WATER PROJECT
PROMOTERS URGE COUNCIL TO
F0REG0 DELAY
TO BE CONSIDERED MONDAY
Business Men to Attend Meeting and
Join Promoters In Request for
Prompt Decision Upon
Proposition

It is probable that tomorrow's delib-
erations of the city council will be lis
tened to by larger audience than
has assembled in the council chamber
for years.
Club women will be present In large
numbers to witness the action of the
council on the library question, and
business men will be attracted by the
fact that the council will deliberate
for the frst time on the owens river
water project.
Most of the councilmen who were
away from Los Angeles when the news
papers made public the water boards
action say that the information came
to them as a big surprise; that they
had no intimation Of what has been
brewing for the past three months, and
that they will want time before taking
decisive action on the question.
"It was our desire to keep as quiet
as possible concerning the work that
was being done in the owens river
country" said one of the men who has
been prominently identified with the en-
terprise 1--WE were of the opinion that
some of the members of the council
manic body were familiar with what
was going on.
Couldn't Keep Secret
"In truth, our secret got little be-
yond our power of control, and we were
on pins and needles for fear the infor-
nation would leak out and seriously in
terfere with the buying Of options
which was going on.
1.-THE question is one of great impor-
tance. The water board did not enter
upon it's negotiations until long after
1t had thoroughly discussed the pros
and cons of the deal. When it saw the
way clear to develop the city's resources
many times by this great enterprise
there was no hesitation on the part of
any member of the board, and the re-
suits of their business acumen and
foresight are shown by developments
of the past eight days.
"After the council understands all
the ins and outs of the plan feel sure
it will act much in the same way as
has the water board, and the work will
De carried through 10 q SUCCESSFUL Ter
mination.
Options Hold Until 1906
''The options which ex-Mayor Eaton
has taken on the water rights will not
expire until January of next year, so
that the council, in case it desires to
make personal investigation, will have
plenty of time in which to do so.
There is a strong hope among those
who have been fathering the deal that
the council will act with promptness.
Rome was not built in '-ay, nor will
the proposed water system be COM
pleted in like degree of time. 1t will
take four or five years, even if every
thing runs with the greatest celerity, to
construct the works. In the meantime
Los Angeles will be growing. Figuring
from the present growth, the increase
in population during the next five years
will be very much larger than that of
the past five years. The city will find
its present system entirely inadequate
even before the great undertaking can
be completed under the most favorable
circumstances"

The claim of Patrick Hickey of La- fayette street against the estate of the late Catherine Cuddy is about $700, and the commissioners, Attorney Sla- win and Kelley, who were appointed by Judge Lowe, will give a hearing on the matter in few days. The claim Is contested by some of the heirs to the estate and on that account the hearing h expected to be rather interesting.
 Mrs Cuddy left an estate of about 42,000. She owned house in tho south end of the Brooklyn district, but for some time prior to her death she had not lived there. Neither did she de there. During the last few years of her life her property was cared for by the claimant, Hickey. He had the walks cleaned in the winter season, he took care of the profits from 1t and in . general way was overseer. The fu- neral of Mrs Cuddy was also held from his house and 1t is said the body laid there some days before. In this way MT Hickey claims he is entitled to some compensation for all his care of the old lady and her property. He is represented by Judge Cowell in the matter.

LOOKING FOR HUSBAND
Man Who Worked in Watsrvilie Dis-
 appeared Last Friday.

Late yesterday afternoon Police Off,
 cer Dunphy escorted Mrs Thomas Mur-
 phy of Wall street to the police station
 and introduced her to Captain BannOn
 and Detective Dodds as a woman who
 was in search of her husband. She
 said she was native of Kent, where she and her husband were married over
 year ago. Prior to this her husband
 worked on an ice wagon in Waterbury
 and some time after their marriage
 they returned to this city and rented
 furnished room on Wall street where
 they lived until last Friday. Her hus- band was employed in Wateryille and she worked every day at the Water bury Manufacturing Go. Friday morn ing. they rode into Exchange place to- gether, where they parted, he continu- ing on to Waterville and she going up North Main street to the factory. Be fore parting he told her he would meet her at the shop gate at quitting time and go home with her. At 6 o'clock she waited for half an hour or so for him, but he failed to show up and then she went on home expecting that he might have had to work and could not keep his word. He didn't show up that night and although she has made in- quiries every place where she thought he was acquainted she had found no trace of him. He had about $10 in his pocket when she last saw him and he had money coming to him where he was working, but he didn't take it. The boss he worked for knew nothing Of hn% hn ok his post. He told her to call and get his back pay yesterday afternoon. Her husband, she said, is 27 or 28 years of age. The only name she ever heard him mention that she could recollect was some fellow named "Crist," whom he worked with at the ice business. She never had any trouble with him and could not understand why he should have left her. She said she would wait until Wednesday to see if he would return and if she should not hear from him by that time she had made up her mind to return to her mother in Kent. Mrs Murphy wore a knitted shawl and a sailor hat which gave her rather girlish appearance, and as she stated her case to the off, cers she spoke like one who felt her situation keenly, still there appeared a sort of sweet consolat ton in the way she said she should return to her mother in case she found herself aban- doned by her husband. It showed that she realized there was still one door open which slie felt sure would not be closed against her while her mother was on the inside.
 The officers took such. information as she had to impart regarding the de- scription of her husband and then she walked out Into the world alone, re- as she went that she would call at Waterville and get what her husband had earned when he quit.

 GREAT NERVES.

One of the iron workers employed on the new building the Scovill Manu- featuring Go is putting up, gave an awful exhibition of nerve yesterday forenoon. He was standing on an iuon pier about twelve feet from the ground when large piece of iron fell square ly on the toes of his right foot. The man quietly but quickly stopped and raised the iron off his foot, then hopped aside and sat down. It took him only moment to remove the shoe and stocking and also part of two of his toes. Then he wrapped his handkerchief around the injury, stanched the flow of blood and sent word to the foreman for medical as- sistance. He will not be able to re- sume work for some time and is a stranger in town.
