BowsER's BURGLAR.
He Comes and Leaves a Message
Behind.

When Mr.. Bowser reached home
from the Office the other evening Mrs.
Bowser had some news for him. On
the previous night burglars had enter
ed no fewer than three houses on
their block ana carried off more or
less swag, and thus far the detectives
had secured no clew to the gentry.
Some of the detectives had said that it
was more than likely that the maraud-
ers would return to the street an
other night, and householders had
been notified to be on the watch.

a million. which would have been a long. expensive lawsuit Chaffey set. tied with bonds of the California De-. velcpment Company valued at SS3,- 00O. and Holt turned back the stock he held in the California Development Company: it is supposed that he re-. ceivod $i1G00 for it from Charfey.
 Arrangements were then made to dismiss the suit which constituted Cnancys retort--the suit he brought through Holt to bring the S. P. to terms.
 R. T. Perry, one of the minority holders of the stock-before the S. P and the California Development Company joined hands-has raised ob- iection He is seeking to intervene in the Federal courts and to force the continuance of the Holt suit He wants to prevent a compromise.
 One of the main afIidavits is from w. ]. Doran, vice-president of the Cali iOitlld l'CNtlOplltht COluIunN lit says that the company Is now immers- ed in other serious litigation, which threatens to tie up it's plant, and Is under vast expense; that it is most important that the company be now free from litigation. That the Cali fornia Development Company has but little means with which to pay other than the sales of the water; that, hay ing got rid of the suit against the Chaffeys it ought not to be obliged to remain in court on this other matter.
 The supposition is that the Holt suit was merely counter-attack upon the part of Chaffey to force a settlement; that a compromise having been effect ed in the suit wherein he was charged with fraud, there is no further reason on his part for keeping the Holt case alive.

Terms of compromise of the litiga- ton between the C. D. Co., and George Chaffey. Heber and others are dis closed in a1idavits filed in the United States District Court
 Chaffey and others were the orig inal exploiters of the scheme to turn the Colorado River into the Imperial Valley desert.
 Having started the scheme, they sold out to the California Development Company, which afterward became the protege of the Southern Pacific Company.
 After the sale, the California Devel- opment Company alleged Chaffey and his confreres had bilkod it out of near ly half million.
 After the bringing of a suit to re- cover this sum, the Chaffeys struck back in a sensational manner.
 Through L. M. Holt who is alleged to have been a dummy in the affairs, a suit was brought to invalidate the al liance between the California Devel- opment Company and it's backer-the Southern Pacific. Chaffey virtually at. tackled the very existence of the at tacker
 Holt won the suit on demurrer in the United States Circuit Court of Alp peals. where the contract was invalid ated.

YEARS FILLED WITH REVELATION

Always the heart of man Is ready and in key to celebrate an advent and a rising and a coronation. Our heart strings are a lute. Each year at the holiday seasons-Christmas, New Year and Easter--we have increasing req son for the thanksgiy.ng that binds the world together in chains of praise. The old problems are solving. The burdens and the weights that handi- capped the race for so many centuries are being cast away. The latter years have been filled with revelation. The struggle for existence has been miti- gated with an applied science in agri
 culture and industry that has forever removed the threat of widespread star vation. The food supply is guaranteed beyond peradventure. Machinery has banished the element of chance in our dealings with nature. That is one piece of revealed truth. And another, like unto it, is the clearing of the mental cloud that has overhung the world since the first thunderstorm

en- i'll the lecture on public control of
public utilities by Glenn Marston. the
New York statistician, before the Com
mercial club next Monday. The Ques-
ton of public control is one of the most
important now before the people Of
this country. and yet information on
the results that have come from the
various forms of control that have
been tried is very hard to get. Mr..
MarstOn has spent a number of years
in collecting information and statis-
tics and is we'll qualified to take up a
discussion of the best methods of con-
troll He has a collection of munic-
ipal reports larger than any other in
the country.
While Mr. Mar8tOn's business might
lead one to expect a lecture highly
technical in character, it is said that
he knows the difference between vital
facts and tiresome detail. Most of his
work has appeared in the technical
press. and has created much favorable
comment among men familiar with the
great economic problems that involve
the public utilities of the country.
1t is expected that there will be a
very lively discussion following Mr..
MarstOn's address as the subject is one
on which large variety of views are
held Mr. MarstOn takes up public
control from an exceedingly practical
standpoint. and carefully analyses the
results which have followed the vari-
Gus forms of control. He does not
consider that this is merely a question
affecting the public utilities, but that
its influence is felt in every line of bus
mess for good or evil as the case may
