and choate Examining a Mar
As a Witness.

@8 u VVIGU6S8s
Probably no educational institution
in our country has evc- graduated two
more eminent and eloquent lawyers
than old Dartmouth College gave us in
Daniel Webster and Eufus Choate,"
says writer in Our Dumb Animals.
1T was my privilege as a member Of
the Suffolk bar to attend many years
ago the trial of one Of the most i'm
portant cases of the year in our Su-
preme Judicial Court at Boston.
ION the two sides We're arrayed some
half dozen of our most eminent law
yers. Daniel Webster and Rufus
Choate, as it happened, were on the
same side.
"A hostile witness was put on by the
other side, some whose evil
dence was of the utmost i'm
portance to Webster and Choase.
Choate undertook the task of obtain
If it could be obtained, and
ing it. No man at our bar had more
profound skill in cross examination
aid the questions he rut to the wit
ness were like the fire CT Maxim gun,
but in every instance he failed to get
the evidence he wanted and finally
sat down in despair.
Then Webster, who had been sit
ting in his great armchair, apparently
about half asleep, as though taking
re interest in the case whatever. slow
~ arose to his feet, put his great eyes
OIL the hostile witness, asked him in
the most serious tone single question
and brought Instantly the required
answer. Then as quietly he sat down
and apparently went about half asleep
again. 1t was a scene photographed
OIL my mind, never to be forgotten.
THE difference between Webster
and Choate cannot better be explained,
as 1t rests In my mind, than to COM
pare Choate to a Maxim gun raining
bullets of eloquence wherever he chose,
and Webster to a great gun that can
send out a thirteen inch shell to pene-
trate an ironclad.
ut was wonderful to listen to
Choate. l remember case in which,
an ordinary lawyer would have SIM
ply said to the Court that he moved
a postponement of the case because
witness SO and so was sick, but in
this case Choate arose and commence
ed by saying that his important wit
ness was on a. bed Of sickness, and per-
haps bed of death. and SO went
Whirling up almost to the skies on this
simple motion, to the great interest
of everybody that heard him.
'"Our old Chief Justice, Judge Shaw,
one Of the greatest lawyers of his time
was plain, practical ran, and looked
iii his old age, as he sat on the bench,
somewhat like Chinese idol, and he
used to frequently cut off Mr.. Choate's
eloquence by calling Finn back to the
plain facts"

Secondly, they show that such flood

Mr.. Grunsky frankly admits that
lin the case of San Francisco there is
no single source of supply so pre-

saying: THE Spring valley

first in the reliability of service
while the Tuolumne river ranks high
est in the quality and quantity of wa

Both Mr.. Manson and Mr.. Grunsky
point out fourteen available water
sites. These have all been investi-
gated and rejected in favor of the
Tuolumne for the single reason that
it "is the most available source of

If San Francisco could obtain her
water nowhere else the nation would
say, Take the Hetch Hetchy," but |
say she can obtain all the water she
needs for the next fifty years else
where.
The city at present uses 35,OOOOOO
gallons of water per day. The former
city engineer of San Francisco, Mr.
Grunsky. has reported that the city's
present source of supply can be devel-
opend to 100,000000 gallons a day. This
report has been verified by Col. W. w.
Heuer, U. S. A, and by Prof, George
Davidson. In fact San Francisco has
fourteen possible sources of supply,
and for that reason few cities of the
world are more faVOrably situated.
1t has been demonstrated by docu-
ments presented by the city of San
Francisco that the taking of Hetch
Hetchy is not necessary and that the
city engineers have freely admitted
the fact in their official reports.

GRATUITOUS SERVICES
RENDERED BY LAWYER
Meyer Makes Heated Argument
for Wrong Man

f. V. Meyer, the lawyer, violated
professional usage yesterday by rem
dering valuable legal services gratu-
itously. In eXtenuation of his lapse
he can plead, however, that he didn't
know he was doing it,
When the case of c. Campag gni,
keeper of a dance hall at 430 Seventh
street, who has obtained an injunction
restraining the police from closing his
place, was called in Judge Cabaniss'
court Meyer entered upon an argument
of half an hour as to the constitu-
tional rights of my client" He be-
came heated that the judge had to
restrain his ardor. Once or twice he
came in conflict with Assistant District
Attorney Hanley. Police Corporal F. A.
Fontanya, who has considerable trouble
with the keeper of the dance hall, was
sharply reprimanded by the lawyer, and
Fontanya had to defend his actions.
When Meyer made q very vigorous
and very effective exposition of a citi-
zen's rights under the constitution. he
concluded with a reference to nickel
odeons. Only then it transpired that
the lawyer had by misapprehension got
into a case in which he was not con-
cerned. Instead of representing Cam
pagni he was attorney for Frank de
Cesare, proprietor of nfckelodeon at
363 Montgomery street. There was
much laughter in court, and Meyer ad-
mitted the joke was on him.
Judge Cabaniss instructed Fontanya
that he was within his rights in arrest
ing persons in the dance hall If the
law was being broken.
