overhead trolley franchise. was post
poned by Judge Lawlor yesterday to
Tuesday next. All the other so called
trolley indictments against Ruef. $40
TO S22, on the calendar for trial went
over to the same day. Frank j. MUIR
ply OF Ruefs counsel wanted these
cases to go to a later date, but Prose-
cutor O'Gara asked that they be con-
tinued to the same date as S23.
When Schmitz was admitted to bail
after the supreme court upset the ex-
tortion indictment the furnishing of
bail on one of the fight trust indict-
ments was overlooked. A bond of
$4,000 In this case was approved by
Judge Lawlor and by the district at
torney yesterday. and the order of dis
charge of Schmitz from custody was
entered. The bondsmen were William
j. Dingee and Thomas Williams. The
total bond money upon which Schmitz
is now at liberty is s355,000

Underwriters Tell Supervisors
That Fire Protection Is

Engineers Find Fault With
and Hydfants

The supervisors received yesterday
a communication from the board of
fire underwri ers calling attention to
the fact that the present water supply
for fire protection is entirely made
quate. The communications ~~is based
on a report made by Engineers J. c..
McCaughern and Allen C. Wright to
the executive committee of the under
writer's. These engineers say that the
distributing reservoirs and tanks do
not contain five days supply and that
the system used by the company is
gravity one with "pressures not stand
ard" The hydrants are found to be
insufficient, 1.-The mains do not meet the
requirements of good service" and
there is mo reliable data concerning
their size, age, construction or condi-
ton"
The communication closes with the
following excerpts from the report OF
the engineers:
The 80 inch main connecting Lake Merced and
Ocean View pumps with Lake Honda has out
lived its period CT reliability and may fail at
any time. Materials for new 80 inch main
are on the ground. installation being prevented
by an Injunction granted the stock holders OF
the compsny restraiuing the directors from ex-
penditures of funds on new work
During July and August of 1907 the amount % nt
of water In Lake Honda dropped to 10000
gallons. at which level it remained for several
days. The pumps were taxed to the utmost,
but were unable to increase available water
until the demand decreased. due to moderation of
the weather. Lake Honda capacity. 81 900 600
gallons; maximum capacity OF Ocean View and
daily consumption 100000 gallons.
The Piarcitos line has been abandoned.
The above are from statements by Herman
Schussler, chief engineer for the water COM
pany.
Officials of the Spring Valley water company
do not encourage or assist In the compilation
OF data relative to the company.
These figures on the water supply should be
taken as comparative only. Their. relative
values are correct.
Since the city discontinued the practice of
paying for Ere hydrants the fire department
has experienced much difficulty in having hyd
rants placed on mains of adequate size where
needed.

LAWLOR REFUTES
CHARGES BY FORD
Judge Denies Prejudice and
Bias in Trolley Bribery
Cases
Allegations in Support of Motion
to Transfer Trial Are
Shown Untrue

Judge William P. Lawlor filed an
charges of prejudice and bias made
against him by Tirey L. Ford in sup
port Of d motion to have the trolley
bribery case now pending against him
transferred to another department of
the superior court. The affidavit is a.
complete refutation of all the charges
made by the defendant and an aver
ment that all rulings and orders made
by the court during the first two Ford
trials were in accordance with. the
courts unbiased view of the facts and
the law involved.
In relation to the charge that the
court did not provide proper seating
arran gements for the defendant and his
counsel during the two trials already
had Judge Lawlor explains at length
the makeshifts that were adopted to
convert the auditorium of the Temple
Israel into s criminal courtroom and
declares that Ford and his attorneys
were allotted exactly the same space
their attorneys in every case brought
before the court. The showing that no
question was ever before raised regard
ing the seating arrangements and tn 1t
the prosecution and the jury occupied
the usual places is of such nature as
TO make the contention of the defend
ants attorneys absurd.
Judge Lawlor further says that he
had no knowledge that the defense
had been denied the privilege of speak
ing to Abe Ruef and that no request
for permission to speak to him was
ever presented to the court He also
AYERS that when he interrupted pro-
ceedings at various times to make In
1uiries concerning the intentions of
the prosecution for future procedure
he did so only to ascertain facts in
lue time and not with the idea of
warming or. cautioning the district at
orney. The affiant says that 1t was
lever officially brought to his notice
hat Assistant District Attorney
Eeney was denouncfng Ford and other
defendants in political campaign
peeches and he explains the precau-
lions that were taken to keep the two
Tord juries in custody and guard
gainst any outside influences that
might prejudice their verdicts.
Concerning the demonstration which
occurred in the courtroom when Heney
answered a taunt by Lewis F. Bying
on during his closing argument in the
irst Ford trial Judge Lawlor states
hat he took no action because the dis
turbance ended suddenly and he could
see 70 end to be gained by pursuing
the matter. In conclusion Judge Law
lor directly declares that he is not
hostile TO any of the defendants in the
trolley cases and that he can and will
give Ford or any Of the others fair
and impartial trials.
The AFFIDAVIT was filed yesterday
morning in Judge Lawlor's. court and
copies were served on the defendants.
The case was then put over until Mon
day morning.
