SELECT VANDERBILT
LOT FOR TREASURY SITE
Property Located at Corner of
Pine and Sansome Streets

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The secre-
tary of the treasury today selected as a
site for the new subtreasury building
in San Francisco the property at the
corner of Sansome and Pine streets at
s375.0O0.
The lot purchased, according to the
above dispatch, was the property of
Mrs. Virginia Vanderbuilt. Negotia-
tions had been under way for some
time, but were blocked by differences
over the ownership of a certain alley
on the west side of the lot, which is
located at Pine and Sansome streets.
The government demanded this strip
in fee simple absolute. Mrs. Wander
bilt desired to keep the strip for the
benefit of adjoining property that she
owns. Apparently this difference has
been settled, probably by compromise.
The lot has frontage of 1917 feet on
Sansome street and 1879 feet of 'front.'
age on Pine street. The alley in ques-
tion is 10 feet wide.
The purchase of the Cowell property
at Clay and Sansome streets was advo-
Gated by some, but the treasury de-
partment evidently found the Wander
bilt lot better suited to its needs.

CURB CALIFORNIA WHILE
CONGRESS TALKS NAVY
Senator TilIman Offers Sugges=
tion During Bill Discussion

WASHINGTON. Feb. 15.-Senator
Dixon of Montana provoked sharp
criticism of naval methods In the SEN
ate today when he referred to maya
zine articles making special structures
upon constructional naval yards
He quoted an article charging the IN
or II members of the naval affairs COM
mittee of the senate had navy yards in
their states.
Hale defended the appropriations
for navy yards, saying that while in
"a years the United States had spent
$51,015, ,064 on such works. Great Rrit.
ain spent S126,9S7. $50 on its navy yards.

was for navy yards. 1t was true, he
admitted, there were but two or three
OF the yards that could dock 26.0OO ton
battleshfps provided for in the pending
bill, but that was because there had
never been any idea that there would
be such great ships.
Newlands advocated the placing of
much of the executive work of the ma
ton in the hands of such men as ]. 7.
Hill and Judge Gary of the United
States steel corporation.
Tillman declared that for the COM

by Dixon there should be an emperor

WATER RATE FOR
OAKLAND REDUCED
City Council Resolution Is Re-
suit of AmicabIe Agreement
With Company

OAKLAND, Feb. 15.-The city council
tonight adopted a resolution fixing the
water rate for the coming fiscal year.
The prevailing rates are reduced per
cent to consumers and a reduction is
made of Is cents on each hydrant for
street and fire use. This lowering of
the rate, which was arranged at a meet
ing last Monday night, has been agreed
to by Louis Titus, president of the Peo-
pies water company, who promised also
to make another reduction of per cent
next year.
For the protection of consumers, the
council adopted an amendment to the
original resolution which stipulates
that the company shall not install a
meter in houses where the cost of
water monthly is less than $1.55. which
is fixed as the minimum meter rate.
The minimum fiat rate was established
at So cents.
The resolution was introduced by
Councilman B. H Pendleton, who, with
Consulting Engineer ]. H. Dockweiler,
the city expert constituted a special
committee. PendIeton submitted re-
port in which the water rate situation
was review. 1t set forth figures show
ing that the cut in the rates by the
present administration has saved the
consumers about s500,000, exclusive of
the money expended previously in liti-
CATION, which in the years from 1901
to 1907 averaged $4,000 annually. The
total saving to the city as a result Of
the reductions agreed upon will, reach a
total of nearly 100000.

Oakland May Annex Water
Front, Agrees Board, Which
Denies Protests

OAKLAND, Feb. 15.-Oficial sanction
was given by the board OF supervisors
today to the proposed annexation by
the city of Oakland of water front lands
lying between the south line OF the
town of Berkeley, the east line Of the
county Of San Francisco apd the north
line of the city of ALAMEDA. Action
was taken after prOtestants had been
heard and after Mayor Mott and City
Attorney McElrOy had had an extended
conference with the protestants.
The protest was based on the belief
that the rights of Emeryville TO it's
water front lands would be swept away
by the annexation OF the entire area to
Oakland. Examination of the maps IN
the assessors Office showed that none
OF the prOtestants owned land fronting
on the bay. and the protest was denied.
The annexation proceedings were com
menced with a view to protect the
rights of the city under the decision
of the United States circuit court vest
ing the wharfing out rights in the city
of Oakland. The area in question is un-
der the Jurisdiction Of the county, be-
ing uninhabited land outside incor-
porated cities.

GRAND JURY INQUIRY
SHAKES SAN RAFAEL
Investigation OF Gambling May
Involve Many Prominent
Citizens

SAN RAFAEL, Feb. 15.-With the
mayor and town trustees of San Rafael
subpenaed and about 90 other citizens
in all ranks of life also summoned to
appear before the grand jury tomorrow
morning, the citizens Of the town have
been thrown into a fervor OF specula-
tion as to what will take place in the
grand jury room and at whom the in
quisitoriaPshafts are aimed.
For the last two days Constable
George Agnew has been busy sub
penang different citizens, but he has
been deaf alike to bankers or clerks
when they asked reasons for the or
ders. However, it transpired yester-
day that the wholesale p1astering OF
the vicinity with subpenaes was caused
by the desire of the grand jurors to
Investigate the alleged gambling games
rumOred to have been running OF late.
and which were in operation during
the street carnival last autumn.
What is the motive behind the move
ment? is the question now agitating
San Rafael in degree. second only to
what will result. Some say it is poll
tics. with Trustee James Begley as the
target. while others whisper that it is
the long arm of revenge of the water
company with Trustee Begley again
the intended victim
The most general belief, however. is
that the agitation is a revival of the
assembly fight which took place at the
last county convention, when Begley
wrested the power from S. H. Olmsted
and S. M. Augustine and threw enough
votes to Edwin Butler to give him the
republican nomination for assembly
man against the combined power of
Olmsted and Augustine. Begley now
AYERS that Olmsted and Augustine are
making the gambling complaints in
hopes of getting him indicted for the
alleged running of a faro game during
the carnival 1t was reported that
Begley had a game operating at that
time and with the consent of District
Attorney Tom Boyd. The report was
given wide credence among Boyd's po-
litical enemies, but was vehemently de-
MED by Boyd today. Olmsted says that
he has made no complaints to the
grand jury relative to gambling and
that he himself is as much at loss TO
know the source of the agitation as
the remainder of the citizens
Town officials, however, point to
the Marin water and power company
as the agitator. Ever since Begley
became a trustee he has been fighting
the water company.
Begley is supported by Trustees
Lowell and Foge, and the three are op-
posed by Pedrotti and Follis. The
trustees and the water company are
now locking horns in court over water
rates. Friends of Begley charge that
the water company wants to oust Beg
ley from the council chambers of San
Rafael before the rates come up for
adjustment at the meeting two weeks
hence. To do this plot. they say, the
company will have him indicted and
force him TO resign.
The foreman of the grand jury mere
ly smiles when asked about the in
vestigation.
Whatever the motives, San Rafael is
stirred, and some one. and mavbe
many ones, stand good chance of
being hit

That students of Stanford university

influence to promote the reform bills
proposed before the legislature was the
statement made by President David
Starr Jordan this morning at big stu
dent body assembly. Doctor Jordan

told the undergraduates that he thought
their support should be given to such
bills as that prohibiting the sale of
liquor within a specified radius of the
quadrangle and that the ruling in re-
gard 10 meadow larks by which these
beneficial songbirds and destroyers of

Hurt by Thugs Scores San

OAKLAND, Feb. 15.-Walter H.
Graves, head of the language depart

still in a precarious condition at his
bone. 1928 Seventh avenue, from the
effects of the mysterious assault made
upon him in San Francisco Saturday
night, and his parents are fearful that
blood poisoning may set in from his
wounds.
William H. H. Graves, the injured
mans father, was extremely indignant
about the statements issued from the
harbor hospital in San Francisco to
the effect that Professor Graves had
taken two drinks before he was at
tackled.
MY SON does not drink" he de-
clared. "All of his intimate friends
viii bear witness to this assertion. A
man who had received the injuries
which he was treated for. could hardly
be expected to talk lucidly or be held
responsible for his statements when he
was found.
II am disgusted with the conduct of
the San Francisco police and hospital
authorities. The police made abso-
lutely no effort to investigate the as
sault upon my son until this morning,
when his assailants might have been
half way across the state of Nevada
if they had chosen to take flight.
AS soon as my son reached the
hospital he asked the authorities to
notify me, but the steward refused to
comply with this request and after
swathing his head in a lot of bandages
sent him out on the street to find
his way home as best he might, despite
the fact that he was scarcely able to
stand up. The seriousness of his con-
dition is illustrated by the fact that
he has been confined to his bed ever
since he reached home. He was al
most fainting from loss of blood and
was SO weak that he could scarcely
speak above whisper"
