that the water vas appropriated and OWNED by the California Develop
 ment company and by lt sold 10 the Sociedad de Yrrgaclou which in turn was to deliver t to Imperial Water company No and such story Is set out In the preamble to the contract there Is nothing said sbou selling the RIGHT TO USE the water to Water company No [ Aside from the pre- amble which is TO part of the contract pr per as t contains no stlpulations to be observed by either party there is nothing In this contract other than an agreement for a common carrier cor poraton acting under the laws of this State 10 take water from the Colorado river and deliver It to another corpora ton for distribution among its stock holders. All the other matters In the contract are merely incidental to this main point The fact that the Socle- dad de Yrrlgaclon is rung in'o it and made to represent part does not in- volve the matter in the least. This cor poration Is and always has been an ap- bondage of the California Development company and absolutely under Its con trol. This fact Is recognized in section Is of the foregoing contract and is we'll known to everyone. In fact, even the fiction that the delivery of water to Water company No. Is made by the Socledad de YHleacIon Is not observed, all settlements, payments and transac- tions concerning the matter being with the California Development company. The water Is delivered to Imperial Water company No. at the heads ot its lateral canals by the California De- velopment company and the money for such delivery of water is paid by lm- psrial Water company No. direct to the California Development company at each semI-annual settlement and the receipts given for such payments are signed by the California Develop ment company These transactions completely eliminate the Sociedad de YmigacIon as party to the contract or factor In the situation. This clar- files the matter so that it can be seen that the only actual parties to that con- tract are the California Development company and Imperial Water company No. 1. Thls being the case It Is pure ly matter coming under the laws of this State
 The California Development com pany being joint stock corporation engaged in the business of handling and conveying water for irrigation purposes and domestic use Is common carrier operating under the laws of this State. Water may be delivered by common carrier either under contract and at a price agreed upon between Itself and the users to whom It Is delivered or the price will be set by the Board of Supervisors of the county In which the water Is delivered. In neither event does any OWNERSHIP of the water accrue to the common carrier. The ownership vests In the user under both the laws of California and the laws of the UnIted States. This ownership is acquired by beneficial use ONLY and there Is no such thing as owning water apart from the land to which 1t Is ben officially applle1. The ownership of the water or water right as 1t Is termed is acquired In three ways according to the laws of this State. First Is direct

SUNDAY OPERA FORBID
After Tammsny Had Hired the Academ,
FOR Verdi Fund BENEFIT.

After Tammany Had Hired the Academy
FOR Verdi Fund Benefit.
Capt. Hussey Of the East Tw~enty-second
street station served notice yesterday
on the management Of the Academy of
Music that the plans Of the Italian societies
to give a performance Of one Of Verdi's
operas In that theatre tonight in aid of the
Verdi monument fund would have to be
dropped. Capt. Hussey explained that he
was acting under orders from Inspector
Walsh, who was Of the opinion that the
performance would be a violation Of the
law. The committee in charge Of the affair
when informed Of the situation promised
that the opera should be given without
stage costumes, but Capt. Hussey replied
that his instructions were specific and that
thep performance would not be permitted to
take place.
It seems that when the Academy was
hired by the Italian societies the
rent Of the theatre for the night was
Tammany's contribution to the fund.
The fact that the organization was in
oerested IN the matter was widely adver-
tised. A committee Of the societies called
at Tammany Hall yesterday afternoon to
see Mr.. Murphy for the purpose Of getting
some advice from him. Mr.. Murphy had
gone, however, and the committee was
told by Secretary Smith that the only thing
that could. be done was to appeal to Com
missioner Bingham or some other high
police Official. The members OF the COM
mittee told Mr.. Smith that the tickets for
the performance had all been sold and that
II the performance was not allowed to be
given there might be trouble made in -Four
teenth street tonight by hot headed Italians,
who when they were barred from the thea
tire would jump to the conclusion that they
had cen defrauded.
Mr.. Carlo Barsotti. editor Of II Pro0resso,
said last night that the present purpose
was b present n T~rovatore' without COS
tunesI which. he was advised, would DO
keeping within the law.
Police Captain Hussey said he would let
Mr.. Gilmore know definitely this morning
at II o'clock whether the order had been
modified.

The Democratic State committee is to
meet at the Hoffman House at noon on
Monday to elect a chairman to succeed
Cord Meyer, Jr. The two candidates
for the place are W. j. Conners Of Buffalo
and Patrick E. McCabe Of Albany. but
certain Hearst people said last night that
Mr.. Murphy is more partial to Mr.. Corners
than he is to Mr.. McCabe for the eason
that he gave to Mr.. McCabe, the Demo-
cratic boss Of Albany. a place on the State
ticket, Martin II. Glynn for Comptroller.
Mr.. McCabe's friends retorted last night
that Mr.. Murphy gave Mr.. Corners a place
on the State ticket as well. William s. Jack
son for ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The friends
Of Mr.. Corners and those Of Mr.. McCabe
who were at the Hoffman House yester-
day were up in the air over this matter.
It was learned that the Democratic
State committee desired to open head
quarters in the Hoffman House. from which
most Of the Democratic State campaigns
rave been conducted for nearly twenty
years. but hat John C~addagan. the boss
Of the hostelry. informed John A. Mason.
clerk Of the State committee. that pending
the renovation Of the hotel there would
not be sufficient accommodations for the

looking up other quarters.

suffering From Appendicitis Crowd
storms Lyric Box once.
The Lyric Theatre was a storm centre
yesterday afternoon and last night when
the folks who held seats for the matinee
and evening performances of The Kreutzer
Sonata" found that the house was dark on
account Of the illness OF Bertha Kalich, the
leading woman.
Neither the Shuberts; who control the
theatre, nor any Of the members OF the
company knew that the performances would
not be held as usual yesterday until noon,
when word was sent TO the Shuberts by
Harrison Grey Fiske, manager for Nine.
Kalich, that she was suffering from an
acute attack OF appendicitis. He said that
applications OF ice we're being uEed in the
hope that the attack could be relieved
without the necessity OF an operation.
Expecting that the box Office would be
swamped by the exchange OF the tickets
for cash, the cashier had a big supply of
money on hand in the afternoon. Many
of the patrons refused for a long time TO
accept their money back or take tickets
for another date, and were inclined 20 be
angry over the unavoidable situation.
The same trouble was experienced in
the box Office last night and it was almost
10 O'Clock before the attaches could get the
lobby cleared.
DR.. William Allen Bartlett Of 7 West
Forty-ninth street, who is attending Madame
Kalich, said late last night that he couldn't
tell whether an operation would be neOes-
sary or not as yet and couldn't say when
the actress would be well enough to play

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-Senor Don Con-
zalo de Quesada, since June 10, 1902, the
Minister Of Cuba to Washington, to-day
telegraphed his resignation to the Foreign
ONCE in Havana. The Minister thought
that in, the present crisis he could take no
other course.
He said tonight that he did not wish
the American people TO believe that he was
antagonistic to President Roosevelt or TO
the policy Of the United States Govern
ment. He considered hat in view Of the
fact that Secretary Taft had taken over
the Government he should tender his resig-
nation as Minister Of Cuba.
Senor Queeada to-day received a teIe-
gram from the Foreign Ofloe confirming
the news Of Secretary Taft's proclama-
ton and consequent actions, Sehor Que
saba said that he had faith in Mr.. Taft
and believed that q new and independent
Government would come out OF the present
difficulties. The Minister will remain in

to the eject that Emperor William while
on a hunting expedition lately In North
Germany took breakfast at the castle OF
a young newly married couple. The soup
was served en- tGsse and the Kaiser, who
was busily engaged in conversation, asked
the servant for milk and sugar. thinking
IL was tea.
The hostess was too shy to call attention
TO the mistake. The milk and sugar were
brought in and the Kaiser added them to
the soup. When he slipped it he discovered
his mistake, but rather than embarrass the
hostess he heroically drank the whole lot.

LONDON, Sept. 2p.-One natural effect Of

Freshman So Badly injured That He Is in

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 20.-Brutally ha7ed
by upper classmen on the night of his first
college day, William Forester Of Mil
waukse, a freshman Of the University OF
Pennsylvania, Is lying in the university
hospital in a critical condition.
The attack on Forester occurred in the
dormitories while he was attempting to
tear down from the wall a proclamation
put up by the uppor classmen i%nstructing
the first year students how to conduct
themselves in the university precincts.
Before he had finished the work Forester
was set upon by a number Of sophomores
and soon got the worst OF It, although
several other freshmen came to his as
~sistance.
He was hurled down & fight OF stairs,
sustaining a fracture Of the skull, n a
fist blow In his right eye may cost him its
sight. Before he wen over the balustrade
rail, however, Forester gave a good ao-
count OF himself and half a dozen sophO-

The Municipal Ownership League. which
is made up OF men who were with William
r. Hearst last year. but have since repudi-
Ated him, decided last night at a meeting
held at the Grand Hotel to support Charles
e. Hughes. The league will nominate by
petition q full State ticket Of It's WI with
Mr.. Hughes at the head OF 1t
The effect Of this determination on the
part Of the Municipal Ownership League
will be that Mr.. Hughes will appear at
the head OF two Of the columns Of the ballot,
a development which will tend to Offset any
advantage Mr.. Hearst might derive from
OF the Democratic party and Of the Inde-
peadence League.
A. N. De Beck, one Of the heads Of the
Municipal Ownership League. said last
night that his organization would meet
tomorrow night at the Grand Hotel to
elect an executive committee to take charge
OF the work Of preparing the petitions for
the nominations Of the leagues candidates.
The likelihood is that the league will resolve
to name In its petitions the full ticket nomi-
mated by the Republicans at Saratoga.
Mr.. De Beck said last night that the
organization to which he belongs mustered
many thousands Of votes in this city and
that these were votes which would be
directly drawn from the support Of Hearst
the day Of the election. Although we
supported Hearst in the last campaign
added, we can do 90 no longer. Mr..
Hearst after the election last year made
the outcry that Mr.. Murphy had robbed
him Of the Mayoralty. and now he and Muir
ply are political bedfelIows VS.. That kind
Of thing Is too much for the M. o. l.. men
to put up with. and We intend to do every
thing We can to defeat Hearst this year.
We have decided that the best way to &C
