Mayor Schenck in speaking of
the first months trial of the
meter system said: Il have TAX
en- the trouble to look up the rec
ord Of the water fall during the
months of May and June, 1907,
in order to compare it with the
record of the same months of
this year, andI find thatin May,
1907, was $50 and in June of
1907 it was 5.67; and that in May
of this year the precipitation was
3.H and last month June it
was 3.05. From this it will be
seen that there is a decrease in
the water fall of May and June
of this under that of the same
months of last year of 5.11 in
ches. 1t will be remembered
that at this time last year the
North Carolina Bar Association
was in session here and that de-
spite all of our anxiety and efforts
to have an adequate water sup
ply we were compelled to resort
to Mud Creek for water for the
town sprinkler and finally to cut
ting the water off at night.
The inconvenience and annoyance
Of this, act of desperation on the
part of the city we all too well
remember.
What are the conditions today
with more people in town.
Post Master Jackson says his
business shows an increase of
38 IL per cent over this time
last year, less water fall, and
the meter system? The water
is overfiowing at the reservoir.
Il would state further that I
have heard a large number of
consumers state that they have
saved, and expect to save more
money under the present system
as against the old. There have
been but three or four COM
plants made to the authorities
that the present system is more
expensive and these arise from
cases where there were evidently
leaks or other YATES which were
charged to the consumer. The
meters in these cases registering
amounts far in excess of what
the consumer would be expected
to use. In some of these cases
the leaks have already been locat-
ed and will give no further
trouble"
Under the last charge in the
rates made a month ago-it is
possible for every body to have
cheaper water than formly and
a great many of the small con
sumers took advantage of this
fact last month and paid only
25c for their supply"

Crawford
vs.. Grant.

Z Congressman w. T.. Crawford,
who was in the city Saturday
night, expressed the utmost con-
fdence in the success of the
democratic ticket this fall in this
congressional district. MI.
Crawford is an old and expert
enced campaigner, and antici-
.pates no very strenuous labor to
make his reelection to congress
this fall sure. Nevertheless, he
wants to give the campaign just
a dash of spice and ginger, so
that he will realize that a real
fight is on. Mr.. Crawford en-
joys the political forum too
much to claim an election by
default.
He has been expecting a chal-
lenge from his opponent, John
G. ~Grant, for a series of joint de-
bates throughout the district.
Inasmuch as Mr.. Crawford is
already congressman and Mr..
Grant is a new entry in the lists,
Mr.. Crawford has been waiting
for his opponent to take the
initiative. Fearing, however,
that Mr.. Grant had Inadvertently
forgotten the usual courtesies
due in such matters, Mr.. Craw-
ford sent him a little reminder
Saturday, in which he suggested
that the people of this district
might like to hear from the two
men who are asking for their
suffrages.
Mr. Crawford will, as soon as
he hears that Mr.. Grant is will
ing to meet him, arrange with
his opponent a series of discus
sionS.
Mr.. Crawford expressed the
greatest satisfaction over the
result of the democratic conven-
ton at Denver. In the nomina-
ton of Kern as a running-mate
for Bryan, he thinks the party
has made a wise choice, mas.
much as the fight this year viii

sentative, strong and straight.

an opportunity for all democrats
who have hitherto been opposed
to Bryan to, come back into the

IRREGULARITIES SHOWN
 IN HENFY'S GRAND JURY
indictments Were Returned on Advice and Without Testimony.

San Francisco, June 1.-Attorneys for Abraham Ruef, Patrick Calhoun and Tirey l.. Ford spent the day in Judge Lawlor's court in an attempt to prove by the testimony of the mem- bers of the present grand jury that they were prejudiced when they re- turned the recent joint indictments against the three defendants in the matter of granting trolley franchise to the United Railroads.
 The defendants moved to set aside the indictments brought by the present grand jury as they are duplicates of the former indictments against them, brought separately. claiming influence of the grand jury by Prosecutor Hem ey and prejudice from reading news paper accounts of the testimony given before the former grand jury.
 It was evident from the testimony brought out from four members of the present grand jury who were placed on the stand today by the attorneys for Calhoun, Ford and Ruef that no tes-

spoke briefly adding to the governors statement a few points in comparison that the governor had not referred to, showing how. merely from the stand point of his side of the case, he had driven a much better bargain with the electric company than people generally seem to appreciate. Some of those points were as follows:
 Assuming that the power used by the electric company last year had been furnished by the Arizona Water company under the terms of the old contract. the electric company would have had to pay the water company $5.00O Assuming on the other hand that the same power had been furn- ished the company by the government under the terms of this "questioned' contract, the company would have had to pay the government, to apply on reservoir construction, the sum of S40,- 0O0. or in other words, the new con tract returns eight dollars where the old one gave a revenue of one dollar. And it is everybody's belief that when the government is ready to furnish power the demand for it will be still greater and the reevnue proportionate- ly greater. At the minimum however. during the ten years or the new con- tract the electric company will pay at least S4O0, ,090 into the reservoir project fund and probably twice or three times as much.
 The acreage of the city is 176O. As suming that the project costs about S6.O00,000, the city's portion of the eX- pense will total about S6O,00O in the years to follow, or about as much money as the electric light company will pay into the fund in year and a half at the very minimum estimate.
 Another point worth noting is that by doing away with the old power contract. the government in its plan for reorganization of the canal system has eliminated the com pany's power site at the Arizona falls so it can develop either there or by means of a new crosscut at least 700 horse power that otherwise never could have been available.
 The remarks of Judge Kibbey were as follows:
 At the last meeting of your board I was requested by you informally to present to you at your then next ensu- ing meeting a statement of the mat

SHEAF OF INDICTMENTS
 SOME AGAINST $. P.
Others Charge Fraud in Acquiring Lands in the Imperial Valley.

Los Angeles, June 1.-The federal grand jury this afternoon returned a large number of indictments. includ- ing three against the Southern Pa cific for alleged relating in violation of the Sherman antitrust law. Twenty nine counts are contaiend in the three indictments. The officials of the company were cited to appear in court on June 15 to answer the charges.
 Seven additional indictments were returned against various individuals in connection with alleged land frauds in the Imperial valley. Three men of this city and four others liv ing in different parts of the cOun- try were indicted. They are accused of using dummy entrymen in mak ing land filings in the Imperial val ley under the desert land act. The three local men surrendered and lat CT were released on bonds.
 United States Attorney LaWler stat ed this afternoon that the indictments against the Southern Pacific were bas- ed upon transactions brought out at the hearing before Franklin L. Lane of the interstate commerce commission lat San Francisco, last october. The Penn Fruit company for favoring whom one of the indictments was returned, has a packing house at Riverside ac- cessible to both the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe lines. During 1906 it is claimed that the fruit company purchased a large amount of fruit at Arlington on the line of the Santa Fe and shipped it over the latter's track to the line of the Southern Pacific for which service it paid local freight to the Santa Fe. At the end of the sea son it is alleged the Southern Pacific paid back to the company fifty per cent of the cost of hauling the oranges referred to from Arlington. For mak- ing this payment the railroad is charg- ed with relating. It is claimed by the district attorneys office that no other fruit shipping firms were shown such consideration, constituting a discrim- ination.
 This indictment contained two counts. The second indictments of fifteen counts, covered as many ship ments of hides from Arizona and Tex as points on which it is alleged a re- bate of ten per cent was given the Harris Newmark company. The third indictment contained eleven cOUIts. Three local Chinese firms imported a large amount of merchandise from Chi no via San Francisco. The merchan- disc was shipped to Los Angeles in bond. and the government claims that under the regulation as toforeign com merce until it reached here. the re-
 
 claimed were a violation of the federal laws. The Southern Pacific claims that the goods ceased to be foreign commerce as soon they reached San Francisco.
 Those indicted in connection with the Imperial case are Hiram W. Blais- dell. Herbert c. oakley and John W. Oakley, all of Los Angeles.

| Washington, June 1.-There will be
 no lukewarm endorsement, of Pres
 ident Roosevelt and his policies in
 the republican national platform, if
 the wishes of Secretary Taft and his
 friends have any potency in framing the document.
 This much was made known today after the. first of a series> of confer
 ences to be held on the subject of the platform Should the convention
 adopt this sort of platform and nominate Taft, it is predicted in au- thoritative quarters that his letter or speech of acceptance will contain a pledge to carry out President RoOse velt's policies already inaugurated and earestly strive for those not enacted, which will have ring sim liar to that pronounced by President Roosevelt on taking the oath of of flee over the body of Mckinley. Wade Ellis, attorney general of Ohio, who has a prospect of being the Ohio member of the resolutions committed. and who is largely re- SlpilSlDlt lOE lllt CDIEtutu NlElulN Ol the Ohio platform, is here for a thor ough understanding with the secre- tary of war Another conference is to be held and it is not unlikely that the matter will then be brought to the attention of the president.
 Mir. Taft has made no secret of his position on the tariff. He is for revision. at a special session of con gress, to be called immediately after his inauguration on March 1. 1909. His ideas as to what the tariff should be is also public property. The schedules should be drawn as near as possible to cover the difference be- tween the lesser cost of production given an article in foreign countries and the cost to produce the article
 in the United States. This. he re- gards as protection" in the true and fair sense.
 Schedules which are fixed at a rate higher than this difference, he be- lieves, are not only unnecessary, as a means of protection, but there are evidences of their temptation to cap italists to form monOpOlies and trusts for the control of the market. From this information the prediction is declared to be a safe one that the tariff plank presented by the Taft adherents will follow closely the lines of the Ohio platform.
 Ellis is known to be in favor of a plank stipulating that amendments should be made to the Sherman anti trust laws. and Taft is known to be a thorough believer in the efficacy of trust control through federal laws. The embodiment of these ideas into one plank, which might take the form of an endorsement of the Hep burn bill, which died a peaceful

Yesterday was the regular monthly meeting of the board of governors of the Salt River Valley Water Users As sociatiOn and as previously mentioned in these columns, the most important matter to be discussed, was the power contract made between the Pacific Gas and Electric company and the govern ment as represented by Supervising Engineer L. C. Hill. That contract as the readers will quickly recall was at tackled by the MaricOpa County Com mercial Club acting jointly with cer
 tain of the board. of directors of the board of trade, and the mayor of the city. It is understood that since the attack, ! the contract was initiated, the most of the board of trade direc
 tors and the mayor have grown luke warm in the matter and are even dis posed to drop it. In this joint action a protest was forwarded to the secre- tary of the interior. who in turn re- ferred it to the director of the reclam- alton service and the latter. F. H. Newell. referred it to the board of gov ernors of the Salt River Valley Water Users Association with a request for till tAIEi N-Dil ol lliE dNAAiAuG bA tAtel association toward the contract. This was done some time ago and the board of governors passed the matter on to Judge Kibbey. counsel for the associa- tion, for his opinion. His opinion was submitted to the board yesterday and at the conclusion of his remarks the board passed the resolution appearing a the head of this article, as it's fOr7 maj and very satisfactory answer to the director of the reclamation service. fully endorsing the action of Engineer Hill in making the contract. The re- marks of Judge Kibbey are herewith reproduced in full except as to certain references and documents submitted to the board at the same time as illum- mating references. Before the reader undertakes the Derusal of the gOver- nor's address which is not only a clear statement of the salient facts in the case but is a highly interesting docu- ment from an educational standpoint. on the subject of the whole power question, some reference should be made to MT.
