SENATE VOTES TO
 EXTEND SESSION
Then Amends the Gam Bill Requiring It to be Submitted to the People Sewerage Franchise
 Ratified.

Ll tie Rock, March l0-After having ''locked horns twice the question of extending the session |of the legislature for 60 days, the senate yesterday afternoon, by vote of ? to 4, concurred m the house resolution for exten- uon. As soon as the extension question was settled the senate took up the Glnu statewide prohibition bill. No other change was made. The amend. ment was introduced by Senator Wingo and he led the fight, de- ciaring he was doing so in the interest of temperance.
 The senator made his two ad- dresses, the opening and the closing arguements, before the largest crowd that has been in the senate this sessIon. All the ailable floor space in the lob. bies was taken, women aud visi- tors had the seats of the senators and the galleries were crowded.
 The last section of the Gam bill provides the act shall go in- to effect July l, 1909, aud any and all money paid for licenses beyond said day shall be returned to the parties holding the licenses which may by the act be nullifed. Tbe Wingo amendment strikes that section from the bill, pro- vIdes the question of for or against prohibition shall be submitted to the voters at a special election to be held July IA. and if prohibition carries, the law shall go into effect Jauu- ary l, 1910.
 The senator claimed the adop- ton of the amendment meant the salvation of the Gam bill. The prohibition question, he claimed, i, must be put to popular vote sooner or later to settle the ques- lion for all time and take it out of politics.
 Vigorous speeches against the adoption of the amendment were made by Senator Watson ot Full ton and Senator Carlock of Madi- son. In substance they said they telt sure the people of the state want statutory state wide prohi- bition.
 Sena tor Hamiter spoke in favor of the submission amendment and was hissed from the galleries. While the hlssing was not con tinued long, it was pronounced while 1t lasted and President Martin asked that order be main tained.
 The roll call on the adoption oi the amendment was the last bus mess of the afternoon. A motion to put the previous question shut of debate and an amendment to the amendment bg Senator Logan to leave the question to the quail fled white voters of the state did not get 10 the secretary's desk.
 The roll call showed l7 votes for the amendment and l3 against and two senators pared.
 Yesterday was senate day in the house, but that body haught- fly refused to bother itself with senate business until word came tbat the senate had coucurred in the house resolution extending the sessiou. Then 1t settled down to business and acted upon a few local senate bills, among them being bill number POS, by Logan, to validate the ordinance of the city council of Mena grant ing a sewer franchise to H. W. Card we'll, explained by MT. Ham iltou; vote co to 0.

SETTLES DISPUTE ABOUT
HOSPITAL SHIP COMMAND
Attorney General Submits Opin-
ion tn Secretary of Nayv

WASHINGTON. Oct. 4.-The secre-
tary of the navy has authority, in the
opinion of Attorney General Wicker
sham, to assign medical officer, not
below the grade of surgeon, to the COM
mand of a naval hospital ship.
This expression by the attorney gen
eral has come to Secretary Meyer in
response to a request for an opinion
as to the legality of such a move.
1t was made in view of the expected
commissioning of the hospital ship
Solace, which has for some time been
hitting out at the Charleston navy yard,
and for which Admiral Rixey, the chief
of the bureau. of medicine and surgery.
was about to ask for the detail of
a comma ndirg officer.
Wickersham's opinion will preclude
the possibility of revival of the con-
troversy over the command of hospital
ships witnessed about two years ago,
when President Roosevelt sided with
Admiral Rixey in the assignment of
Medical Officer Stokes TO the command
of the hospital ship Relief. as against
the wishes of the line of the navy.

TURBINE ENGINES FOR
u. s. DREADNOUGHTS
Secretary of Navy and Admiral
Cone Make Decision

. WASHINGTON. Oct. 4.-Both the new
American DreadnoughtS of $4,000 tons
displacement, for which contracts were
recently awarded, will be equipped with
Parsons turbine engines
This decision was reached at a con-
ference today between Secretary Meyer
and Admiral Cone. chief of the bureau
of yards and docks, who has just re-
turned to the United States from an
extensive tour of European ship yards.
The New York ship building COM
pany. which will construct the Ar
kansas. was notified some time ago
that turbines would be installed. De-
cisian as to the motive power for the
Wyoming. to be constructed by the
Cramps was postponed temporarily.
but Secretary Meyer and his associates
today decided favorably for the Parsons
turbine, feeling satisfied. as Secretary
Meyer expressed it, that this would be
more advantageous to the government
than the proposed combination of tur-
bines and .reciprocating engines. which
had been insistently urged by some of
the naval officials

Clashed With Novelist

Albert Pulitzer achieved considerable
fame while on a recent visit to San
Francisco last March. He said that
he came to write his memoirs in the
quiet California sunshine, but his ac-
tions so amused Californians that ne
left.
man of voracious appetite, Pulitzer
astonished the Fairmont hotel, where
he was stopping, by cabling his Wen
ma physician to discover whether or
not the doctor would permit him to
eat horseradish The answer was in
the affirmative, but it cost the editor
$40 in cable fees-whicn he paid cheer
fully.
Pulitzer's last eccentric act was an
encounter with Gertrude Atherton. the
novelist. in the Mount Tamalpais tav-
ern Mrs. Atherton had gone there to
write a novel. and Pulitzer intruded on
her room one day. while showing some
friends about the hostelry. The author
ess froze him with steelly glance.
and then complained to the manage
ment that he slammed doors around
the place and annoyed her.

RULES INTERSTATE
SHIPPERS LIABLE
Lines Confined to One State Not
Exempt From Federal Law,
Says Gilbert

Railroads engaged in interstate
commerce, regardless of the fact of
whether or not their lines are confined
to a single state, are amenable to the
federal laws governing safety appli-
ances, according to decision handed
court of appeals in the suit brought
by the Pacific Coast railway company
against the federal government.
The question is of great interest to
railroads and the decision has been
awaited with a great deal Of anxiety
in various parts of the country where
similar cases are under consideration.
1t has long been a mooted point at law
as to whether railroad shipping goods
to other states, but having its working
operations confined to a single state
came under the jurisdiction of the fed
eral government BY this decision 1t
is maintained that it does.
The Pacific Coast railway company
operated its lines in Santa Barbara
and San Luis Obispo counties 1t was
prosecuted by the federal government
for violating the safety appliance act,
and in defense maintained that it was
not engaged in interstate commerce
and therefore out of the jurisdiction
of the federal courts. 1t is admitted
that it received merchandise destined
when the goods reached the limits of
final destination.
United States Circuit Judge William
B. Gilbert who wrote the opinion
viewed the question in a wider scope
He maintained that rebilling did not
alter the circumstances. He declared
that when merchandise came from out
side of the state of California to a
point within it's confines any railroad
that participated in the shipment was
engaged in interstate commerce and
thus came within the Jurisdiction of
the federal courts.
Twice has this same question been
decided. once contrary to the opinion
of Judge Gilbert and later along the
same lines In the first instance, the
Geddes case it was held that railroad
operating within the state of Ohio
without physical connection with in
terstate carriers, was not within the
jurisdiction of the federal courts.
Later the same question was brought
up in the case of the United States
against the Colorado and Northwestern
railroad and in this the Geddes case
was overruled. The decision handed
down Yesterday is the third. and the
probabilities are that il will be ac-
eepted as the correct ruling, though
there is no doubt but that the case will
be carried to the supreme court OF the
United States.

cient water to the locality. Notwith-
standing that the supervisors allowed
the collection of the additional sum
mentioned, and notwithstanding that
the company had in it's possession a
large part of the necessary material
to construct the tank, it has never
done So
QUESTION OF SUFFICIENCY
The complaint, which was prepared
in the office of City Attorney Long,
AYERS that the Spring Valley water
company asserts and contends that the
water caught and stored by ii lis suf-
ficient in quantity and quality TO supply
water for all the inhabitants of the city
and county of San Francisco" and also
that it's distributing plant is of suffi-
cient size to supply all the Inhabitants
with water. The company further as
serts that Its reservoirs, reservoir sites
water sources and dam sites are as fine
as any in the world for the supplying
of water to a municipality and its in
habftants, and as fine as can be OBJ
tanned for the city and county of San
Francisco" For many years past the
city alleges, the company has asserted
and proclaimed to the inhabitants OF
the city and county of San Francisco
it's purpose, desire and ability to fur
nish the city and the inhabitants there
of all the water required by the city
and its inhabitants for domestic and
all aforesaid purposes.
Because of these assertions and proc
lamations on the part of Spring Valley,
it is pointed out that no other person or
corporation has undertaken to furnish
the city with water for domestic and
other purposes.
1t is pointed out further that the
company is annually in receipt of very
large sums of money derived from the
sale of water, and the population of
San Francisco is stated to be $50 900
The district bounded by First avenue,
Cole, Hayes and Turk streets is as
serted to be peculiarly adapted for
residential purposes. The buildings in
the locality are constructed entirely of
wood, and in the absence of adequate
water supply there is constant danger
of destruction Of property by fire.
Demand has been made upon the cor
poration to erect the tank and improve
its service, but the city has met only
with refusal. The complaint says that
said refusal by the defendant Spring
Valley water company was maliciously
made and was made for the purpose of
injuring the residents of said locality
and for the purpose of making 1t i'm
possible for the Inhabitants of said
locality to reside any longer therein"
The city prays for an alternative writ
of mandate commanding the company
to proceed with the erection of the
steel tank at the corner of Parker ave-
nue. and Fulton street and to furnish
the inhabitants of the district with an
adequate supply of water.

CITY OPENS FIRE
ON SPRING VALLEY
Suit Begun to Force Company
to Supply Water in Suf-
fering District

That the Spring Valley water COM
pany has wilfully and maliciously re-
fused to supply with water for domes-
tic and other purposes a residential
district of 80 or 40 blocks, in which
more than 200 families reside, is
charged in a suit instituted by the
city yesterday. The locality affected
by the neglect of the company to
furnish water is bounded by Cole
street, Hayes street, First avenue and
Turk street
The people unfortunate enough to
reside within this area have been put
to curious shifts to obtain water for
through the locality, but it does not
carry nearly enough water to supply
the residents. On cool days, when con-
sumption is not heavy. there has been a
sufficient flow to enable house holders
to get water from the taps on the first
floor Of their buildings. In the upper
stories water would not flow at any
time of the day or night. When the
weather has been warm no water was
obtainable in any part of the houses
Some residents have adopted the plan
OF building a small reservoir in the
basement. allowing it to fill by keep
ing the taps turned on all night, and
then pumping the water to a tank on
top of the house. One woman told the
city attorney that she and her hus-
band arose at o'clock every morning
TO pump the water up. Others have
Installed electric motors to raise the
water.
RESERVOIR REFUSED
The explanation of the paucity of
the supply in this large and growing
district is the refusal of the company
to construct a reservoir on its unim-
proved lot at the northwest corner of
Fulton street and Parker avenue. When
the water rate was fixed by the super
yisors for the year I907-08 the off,
Gals of the company said it was
intended to build a reservoir on the
lot. AT the request of the corpora
ton the water rate was fixed at such
a figure as would enable the company
to collect, in addition to all sums
necessary as compensation for the
supplying of water TO the city, the
of s4,16S. II was represented that this
sum of s416S was to be expended in
the erection of a steel tank on the
lot at Fulton street and Parker ave-
nue.. The company axerred thatit would
then be in position to supply suffi-
