NEWS OF THE COUNTIES ABOUT THE BAY
MUST EXPLAIN LACK
OF WATER PRESSURE
Manager Of Contra Costa Com
pany Cited by Alameda
Board of Trustees.

ALAMEDA, July 3.-AIleged lack of
water pressure in the fire mains has
caused the City Trustees to order that
the local manager of the Contra Costa
Water Company appear before the mu-
nicipal legislators at their next session
and explain the condition, about which
complaint has been made by Chief Fred
X. Krauth of the Fire Department and
City Trustee Ernest j. Probst.
The latter reported to his colleagues
on the municipal board last night that
one night two weeks ago there was for
time practically no pressure in the
fire mains and that two nights ago a
gauge showed the pressure to be but
five pounds.
Chief Krauth has repeatedly informed
the City Trustees that the pressure in
the mains is unreliable and cannot be
depended upon. He has taken occasion
several times in compiling his annual
report to urge the municipal legislators
to install a series Of underground water
reservoirs to be utilized in cases Of
emergency and as a substitute for the
water mains. Because OF the narrow
width of the city Chief Krauth believes
that an underground reservoir system
that would afford the municipality am
pie protection against a possible con-
hagration could be constructed.
The water supplied in the fire mains
here by the Contra Costa Company
comes from Lake Chabot and also from
the wells of the corporation near AL
varado.

SHOOTS ANOTHER BOY
In HAND With PISTOL
Donnie Donate, Said to Have
Been Drunk, Wounds
Eddie Crow.

OAKLAND, July 3.-After quarrel
ing and fighting with Eddie Crow, a
12year-old lad who resides at 1893
Third street, Donnie Donate, IA
years old. yesterday afternoon shot
Crow in the hand with toy revolver
to further revenge himself on his COM
panion. On Sunday Eddie Crow and
his younger brothsr quarreled with
Donate. The two got the worst of
the argument.
Yesterday afternoon, as the Crow
brothers were standing at tho corner
of Third and Linden streets, they were
accosted by Donate, who asked Eddie
Crow If he wanted to buy his toy pis-
toll The lad reached out to take the
weapon and examine it, when Donna
tie pulled the trigger and the wad of
the blank cartridge plowed into the
unsuspecting boys hand. The lad was
removed to the receiving hospital,
where his injuries were attended to.
Other children in the neighborhood lay
the cause of Donates revenge to the
fact that he, although IA years of age,
had been drinking heavily, and that he
was under the influence of liquor at
the time.
Policeman c. F. Mccarthy made a
report of the affair to Chief of Police
Wilson today, as the Crow boys par
ents refused to take up the matter.

CHAMBER MUSIC
To Be RENDERED
Programme for Thursday
at Greek Theater
Arranged.
First of Three Concerts
by Minetti String
Quartet.

BERKELEY, July S.-After the
strenuous holiday proceedings on the
Fourth of July the university authori-
ties think that the chamber music
concert in the Greek Theater sched-
uled for next Thursday afternoon will
be doubly welcome. Never before has
chamber music programme been
given in the Greek Theater. and a new
tradition. accordingly. will be estab-
lished with the performance on Thurs
day.
This will be the first of the three
concerts by the Minetti String Quartet
to be given at the university on the
Thursday afternoons of July and 10
and August 2, alternating with sym
phony concerts on the afternoons of
Thursday, July IL and 26, by the Uni
versity Orchestra.
The programme arranged by Mr..
Minetti who is not only the leader of
the quartet but also concert master of
the University Orchestra, is delightful
in its contrast of classic and of mod
ern composers. The programme will
begin with quartet in c major by
Mozart, most melodious of composers.
This quartet will be in four move
ments: Ada gio- allegro, andante can
table, menuetto (allegretto), motto al
legro.
Second on the programme will come
a group of three numbers, a serenade
by Haydn "Traumerei'' by Sehumann
and a minuet by Boccherini.
Bazzini, the Italian composer,
famous as well as violinist, is the
author of the closing number of the
programmes quartet in d minor Cop.
T5). Mr.. Minetti will feel particular
interest in the rendition of the quartet,
as he is himself a former pupil of Baz-
zini.
For the concerts of chamber music
by the Minetti String Quartet the uni
versity has arranged the particularly
low rate of so cents for reserved
seat and % cents for general admis-
sion. AS in the case of the symphony
concerts these chamber music pro-
grammes are arranged by the univer-
sity entirely as a matter of service to
the higher life of the community No
element of personal profit is involved,
any surplus from these concerts going
into fund for more music at the
university hereafter. The response OF
the public to the universities en-
deavors in the field of orchestra music
leads to confidence that this endeavor
to bring chamber music to a wide
public hearing will meet with like ap-
probation.

TO RECOVER FROM WOUND
Parents of Philips Request Re-
mains Be Sent to Home in
Los Angeles.

to Oakland together to seek shelter
She further stated that the two had un-
doubtedly lived together in the Ninth
street house as husband and wife, but
was reluctant to give positive data as

from the wound in her breast. If she

w. Phillips. He says the address of
the dead man was 1928 Sunset boule-
ward, Los Angeles, where he lived prior
