co.

A hard blow was given by the
court yesterday to the Hillyard
Water Co. when Judge Hinkle en-
tered an order compelling the COM
pany to reconnect the water service
of e. G. Merchant, who had been
cut off for some inconsequential in
fraction Of the rules, and his SER
vice pipe taken up. Merchant had
his water rent paid ahead when
cut off. He lives in Cannondale
addition, which is supplied by the
Hillyard Co., for which Arthur D.
Jones & Co. are agents.
The town Of Hillyard is no way
connected with the company,
which is privately owned cor
poration.
Merchant first brought a civil
suit for damages in Justice Stock
er's court, and after gaining a vic
force water service in the superior
court.
1t is probable that the lead of
Merchant will be followed by other
| water consumers abruptly cut off
by the Hillyard water syndicate,
which is largely owned by F. Lewis
Clark, Spokane millionaire, who
spends most of his time in the east,
but draws his dividends, wrung in
the way of excessive water charges
from the poor people who live
along the lines of the company in
Cannondale and adjacent additions.

WILL TAKE
ADVANTAGE Of
G. D. P. SPLIT
(By United Press)

YPS1LANTI, Mich, Nov. 25.-
Champ Clark today took issue with
Henry Watterson, and declared
that the democrats can and will
take advantage Of the split be-
tween the regulars and insurgents
in the republican congress. He
said: II don't see how the two
factions of republicans can get to-
gether. Any split in one party
helps the other party. l believe
the democrats will control the
house after the next election. If
we gain control of the house, we
will have an excellent chance to
elect the president in 1912. l can
not say whether Missouri will have
a presidential candidate. It is too
early to discuss that, but there is
no reason why a prominent Mis-
sourian should not be presiden-
tial candidate"
Clark, Missourian, has been
named as a possibility.

PUT UP JOB?

Terrific cries for help aroused
the occupants of the block on the
north side of Front avenue between
Stevens and Washington streets at
2 o'clock this morning. Among
the first to respond were members
of the Industrial Workers of the
World, whose hall is in the rear.
They found a fellow lying in the
passageway leading to the hall
with his face covered with blood.
The man assumed dazed or
dopey walk and ambled away from
the spot On leaving the scene
some distance in the rear he
braced up and walked along with
out any uncertainty in his gait.
Secretary Douglas of the |. w.
W., who was first to respond to
the mans assistance, says that he
believes the man was shamminG
and that it was a put-up job to
create a scene and have the police
raid the |. w. w. hall. He thinks
the man smeared on the blood and
was not injured at all.

BREAD AND WATER IS
THANKSGIVING FEAST

Free Speech Fighters Go Diet Thanksgiving Day, in

Accordingly bread and water
forms the Thanksgiving fare at the

men who prefer full stomachs to a
fight for a principle.
A bulletin board announcing the

morning. Only two meals of the
bread and water are served at that,
this regulation being in conformity
with that pursued in the city Jail.

BAKERSFIELD, Cal. Nov. 25.-
A million barrels of oil, property
OF the Standard Oil Co., are being
lost by seepage, slowly finding the
way back to the sands from which
it was extracted The oil had been
stored in earthen tanks. For some
time officers had known that a
vast amount was lost through leak
age and the sides of the earthen
reservoirs had been drilled in
vain search for the cause. 1t is be-
lieved the lost oil moved down
through the water and sand, and
owners of adjacent property are
making preparations to sink a num-
Der of wells in the hope of locating
pools of the missing oil.
