SPRING VALLEY IS
Still UNAPPEASED
Asks Supervisors TO Restore S.
Rate for Hydrants in
Force in 1901

The Spring Valley company sent a
letter to the supervisors yesterday ap-
pealing for q S. hydrant rate. 1t
claimed that the city had promised
such rate in 1895 and until 1901 gave
it. President Bourn also set forth that
the city filled it's fire cisterns from the
fire hydrants without paying anything
extra therefor. There are some 1900
hydrants, upon each of which the city
paid the company $50 last year. The
number of cisterns in use is about so.
Bourn also complained that the city
had made no provision to put up the

Loaf Bill Goes to Board
Supervisor Walshs bread ordinance
was sent back to the board yesterday
by the hospital and health committee
without recommendation. The master
bakers appeared before the committee
and acknowledged that the board had
the right to impose a. 16 ounce loaf.
They said however, that such a loaf
would have to be sold for 6 cents. IT
was explained that in baking, the up
per tier loaves were usually an ounce
or more heavier than those on the
hearth A 6 cent loaf for 16 ounces
of bread would result, they held, in
the poor paying more per weight than
now The committee decided to appeal
to the Solomons wisdom of the full
board and made no recommendation.
The health boards ruling that Doctor
Atcherly was not to be permitted to
treat the leper hospital patients was
approved by the committee. Letters
were read from Sheriff w. p. Jarrett
of Honolulu, setting forth Doctor Atch-
erly's record in the islands. to the eff
feet that he had shot up a doctors
house; had three times been adjudged
insane. and for months was under the

ment Purchased From Wrights
Is in Great Demand.

The $4,000 aeroplane which the gov
eminent acquired last year is the most
popular asset Of the Signal Service Corps

lively, seems to want to see it. From
many different parts of the country the
mails bring requests to Gen. Allen, the
chief signal officer, for the use of the
machine in contests and for variety of
purposes.
In San Antonio Gen. Aliens assistants
are engaged assiduously in experimental
work with the machine which once made
Fort Myer famous.
The signal service officers are really
sorry that they cannot loan their ma
chine in response to all incoming re-
quests, but compliance would be imprac-
ticable. incidentally. there are great
hopes among the signal service authori-
ties that Congress, at it's next session,
will, through appropriations help along
the idea of having this government align
it's flying machine work more on the lib
eral scale than France, Germany and
other great powers have put into opera

ter Charlton. the young man charged with
having murdered his wife and thrown the
body in Lake Como. appears before Judge
Blair, in court of oyer and termner in
Jersey City, tomorrow his attorneys will
formally move for the dismissal of the
case on the ground that the Italian gov

him.
The treaty expressly provides that no
citizen Of the United States shall be re-
turned to Italy for trial without for
NAL demand on the State Department by
an authorized officer of the Italian gov
eminent. This demand. they are con-
WINGED, has never been made.

the last six weeks have produced only
evasive replies If the demand has not
been made, Charlton Is practically free
man. for the treaty also provided that
the papers shall be filed with the State
Department within forty days after the
date of the arrest.
The attorneys say that the State De-
partment has committed several blunders,

ian government will try to extradite
Charlton. ignoring certain important pro-
visions of the International treaty.

be deprived Of their salary when absent
from duty suffering from illness or in
jury contracted in the line of duty
If the other Commissioners approve OF
this recommendation an item will be in
serted in the estimates for the fiscal year
1912. now being prepared and If ap-
proved by Congress the next appropria-
ton bill will change the sick leave situa-
ton so that firemen will be allowed thir-
ty days sick leave, as are the police

IMPROVEMENT OF HARBORS.
Mexico, Russia and Austria-Hun
gary to Spend Large Sums.

The Mexican government is to spend
S3..Oo.OOO gold for a quadrangular inner
barber seawall at Guaymas; Russia is
planning TO spend approximately $1,000,
eco for a new grain harbor at Odessa, and
Austria-Hungary will soon complete
splendid anchorage and dockage facilities
at Fiume.
Advices received here from Mexico
quote the political project of Guaymas as
saying that the inner harbor there will be
dredged and deepened to a uniform depth
of over twenty-six feet. and suitable
docks built. enabling large seagoing liners
to unload at dock instead Of two miles
out Extensive jetty work is also being
planned at Tampico. where fifty-ton
blocks of concrete will be put in on the
end of the jetties.
The Fiume improvements are designed
to assure safe anchorage and docking to
the numerous coastwise lighter craft. At
Odessa, under the new construction
scheme. the maximum quantity of grain
to be shipped is calculated at 1881 900
tons, all to go in six months at about
900 tons a day.
