WinsIow Has Just Fighting
Chance for His Life

OAKLAND. May 6. - Sheriff Barnet
and a posse, assisted by Constable Lar
kin Locke of Pleasanton. are actively
following clews which may lead to the
arrest of the assailant of William H
Winslow at Sunol. Winslow, deaf
mute. was found with his head badly
hacked in his sleeping room in a tank
house on the >Trimmin CHAM place. Sus-
picion was directed toward a tramp
named Klein, who had been lettering
about the town for a week and of
whom a good description has been OBJ
tained.
The theory of the police is that rob
berry was the motive for the crime.
Winslow was generally known to have
received $4,000 in cash from the sale
OF his vineyard.
Ramon Berna1. laborer, said today
that he had found his AK covered with
blood which he had left near Wins

WATER COMPANIES
SEEK PROTECTION
Spring Valley and Peoples
Company of Oakland Credited
With Desiring Alliance

That the Spring Valley company has
been Strengthening its position to meet
any move that the city might make
has been generally known to the mem
bers of the city government. Rumor
has at various times raised the ques-
water company of Oakland That there
has been any step toward the pur-
chase of the transbay property was
denied with some emphasis yesterday
by both President W. B. Bourn of the
Spring Valley and the Hellman bank
ing syndicate. which represents the
bond holders,
Bourn has stated that he expects TO
sell water in Oakland. He based this
assertion on the belief that he could
build dams at the Calaveras system
which would give his company sur
plus over the needs of San Francisco.
ALLIANCE FOR PROTECTION
The activity of the Spring Valley in
Alameda county is largely for the pur-
pose of anticipating the formation of
water district among the bay cities.
If there is no outright purchase or mer-
ger with the Peoples water company
in contemplation, 1t IS reasonable to
presume that overtures have been
made for an alliance intended for "mu-
tual protection" With a community
of interest established. Bourn believes
that he could either hold his property
under private ownership or drive such
a bargain as he might desire with the
city.
The present plan OF the Spring VAL
ley company, it is understood. is to
give battle to the Hetch Hetchy project
at every step. The next clash is ex-
pected in a few days when the city
will offer for sale $4,000 of Hetch
Hetchy bonds. 1t is common report
that the Spring Valley attorneys will
attempt TO block the sale by injunction
proceedings
PRESENT SERVICE INADEQUATE
The Peoples company is unable to
meet the present demands of the ter
ritory it serves 1t has some unde-
veIoped sources in San Pablo creek,
but when brought to their greatest
potentiality these would merely make
up the shortage in the present Oak
land supply.
The controlling factor In the Peoples
water company is the realty syndicate
of which f. NJ. Smith. Wickham Havens
and Louis Titus are the chief directors.
The concern has been unable to float
it's bonds to make needed extensions.
The Spring Valley has professed to be
in the same position.
