IN THE COUNTIES BORDERING THE OF SAN FRANCISCO
CONTRACT AWARDED.
FOR FIRE SYSTEM
Cotton Brothers Will Extend
Salt Water Mains Over Oak
lands Business District

OAKLAND, June 2-The board of
public works awarded to Cotton Broth
ers this morning a contract to lay
pipes for the salt water auxiliary fire
system between First. Eighth, Franklin
and Washington streets, the amount
being S15.762.30. Two weeks ago Cot
ton Brothers secured the contract for
installing the pipes for the system be-
tween Eighth, Fourteenth. Washington
and Franklin streets The extension
of the system from Eighth street to
First was then recommended by City
Engineer Turner. as it was found that
the appropriation was sufficient to pro-
vide for the modern fire protection
throughout the whole of the business
district.
The laying of the main supply pipe
from Lake Merritt, where the pumping
plant is stationed, to the heart of the
business section has been delayed by
the suit brought by Attorney Harrison
5. Robinson for the William Heafy
company, contesting the award of the
contract TO Cotton Brothers on techni
cal grounds.
The board accepted plans for the pro-
posed new fire house at Dover and
Fifty sixth streets. and authorized Sec
rotary Fawoe to advertise for bios.
A contract for $4,000 was awarded to
the Central American dredging COM
pany for the deepening of the two arms
of Lake Merritt, to dispose of the
shoals caused by drainages The COM
pany holds the contract for the dredg-
ing of the main part of the lake, which
work is now in progress.

STEINER MEASURES
FOR THE GAMBLERS
Oakland Grand Jury Wants the
Lottery Players Punished
With More Severity

OAKLAND. June 2.-The members Of
the grand jury expressed themselves
strongly against the practice Of fixing
the bail of arrested Chinese lottery
keepers at $50 and permitting them to
forfeit this amount without having to
stand trial. This custom. which was in
vogue for several months. was criti-
cised today as amounting to a licens-
ing OF the Chinese lotteries.
The grand jury summoned before it
today Justices Nof the Peace Geary and
Quinn and Police Judges Samuels and
Smith and inquired into the number OF
arrests of Chinese gamblers and the
usual disposition of their cases. 1t de-
veIoped from the grand jury invesu-
cation that until recently more than
a hundred Chinese lottery games were
in operation 1t was the habit of the
Oakland police to raid them periOd-
cally. The Chinese put up $100 each
cash bail, which was afterward re-
duced to $50. or. in some cases, $50
The defendant did not appear for trial
and his bail was forfeited. Each man
was arrested about once a month.
The grand jury recommended todav
that bail should be set at a higher
figure and that trials should be in
sisted upon. The police magistrates
and justices Of the peace are inclined
to follow the directions OF the grand
Jury.
