A LIVE POLICE CHIEFS OPINIONS

On the women of Chicago the re- sponsibility for a thorough clean up has been placed by Chief of Police Steward, who. in addressing the Chi cago Women's club, declared: "Un- til the women get out their brooms and do the sweeping we never will get this town clean morally and physical ly Men haven't the time or the moral conception and not one man in ten knows enough outside of his business to be allowed to vote. Already there are too many city ordinances as we'll as too many laws, but if woman owns an automobile she does not ob- serve the traffic rules. A woman in ah electric runabout will go straight down the middle of the street and make all the faster machines run around her. or she will turn straight into the curb without a warning to any one Four women will walk abreast down the sidewalk, and nine will wait for cars, side by side, en- dangering the lives of those who must walk around them to cross the street. Chief Steward has some very definite ideas about what is needed for city girls who are arrested and he added Every year there are thousands of girls brought in by policemen, who are not bad, but they are herded with criminals They should have the ben eft of kind words and treatment and have special accommodations and care" The ballot for women, Chief Steward held to be unnecessary, be
 cause of their influence with men. In regard to the over-supply of law, which everyone recognizes and no one corrects, he said: "The best thing the legislature could do this winter would be to repeal half the existing laws, and then adjourn for three years

must be done. It was done and well done, too. Artesian wells were driven all over the city at equal distances apart and pure, cool water can he had for the pumping. The residents who do not live beside a well are willing to carry their drinking water the short distance that is necessary. Now while the city of Norwich. the Rose of New England, is laying out so much money for water. why not have some. that is pure and have it where the people can get to it?
 Reservoir water is good enough for running elevators, putting out fires and other purposes, but it does seem wasteful to me to use artesian well water for such purposes as these when that is so good to drink Instead of driving the wells at the reservoir, why not distribute them about the city and the supply of drinking water will be assured for years: and at least the mothers of Norwich will rise and call Mayor Thayer and Superintendent Corkery blessed
 Yours for good health and pure water,

How One City Got Pure Water.

MT. Editor: Although I am not a resident of Norwich I am very much interested in the water question of my neighboring city and sympathize deeply with those mothers of small children who will hardly dare to give the babies the cool water they so much need. Why don't some ,philan- thropic citizen furnish spring water free once 8 day in certain sections of the city when the people. who are not able to buy could go and get one good pure glass of water2
 While the mothers of Norwich are writing about how to save the water I want to tell the readers of the Social Corner how a large city where I lived at one time was supplied with pure drinking water The city had been supplied for years with water from the river that flower along it's bank, and always had 8 number of cases of typhoid fever. At last there came a time when the death rate from this dis ease was so alarming that something

MILLIONS tied UP
in Land CONTEST
Suit Involving Water Rights in
Kuhn Project Argued Be-
fore Dooling
Validity of Bond Issue Involved
Also in Glenn and COlusa
Controversy

The action involving title to about
s20, 600, 900 worth of land and water
rights in Glenn and Colusa counties,
comprehended in what is known as the
Kuhn irrigation project, is being ar
gued in this city before Judge Maurice
Dooling of San Benito county who was
called in to try the case Testimony
was taken at Woodland, and the par
ties came to San Francisco to finish
the trial as a matter of mutual con-
venience. The argument being made
is elaborate and will occupy several
days
The Kuhn irrigation project is one of
the most extensive initiated in Cali
fornia. j. S. and W. s. Kuhn, incor-
porated, of Pittsburg, Pa, are said to
have put between 100000 and $1,000
900 into the undertaking through the
American water works and guaranty
| company of Pittsburg. That company
has issued bonds in the sum of S15,OO0-
900 against the property involved and
some S10,00O,0O0 worth of the bonds
have been subscribed for. The valid
| ity of this bond issue is partly in
volved in this suit.
The plaintiff in the case is B. de la
Beckwith, administrator of the estate
| of Byron D. Beckwith, his father. He
| is suing the Kuhn interests, including
| the Sacramento Valley irrigation COM
pany, the Central canal and irrigation
! company and the Sacramento Valley
west side canal company, for title to 46
| miles of canals, water rights sufficient
| for the irrigation of about 900, 900 acres
| laterals, bitches, bulkheads, ETC., appur-
| tenant to the system, together with
| large acreage of land.
! In 1888 the farmers of the district
| incorporated into the central irrigation
| district under the Wright act, issued
| bonds, spent about $4,000 and built
| 40 miles of canals, but in 1891 the
| project was abandoned. In 1901 Byron
| d. Beckwith, father Of the plaintiff in
| this suit, filed notice of the appropria-
| tion and diversion of 100000 inches of
water. Later he interested in the
project William NJ Sheldon and James
| d. Schuyler. The Central canal and
| irrigation company was formed. and 1t
| is claimed Beckwith was to receive one
third of the 81 100000 stock issued by
that company, besides $4,000 in cash
and 5000 acres of water rights. 1t is
charged by the plaintiff that Sheldon
and Schuyler and the company repudi-
ated the contract witsn Beckwith He
began suit against them in 1908, but
died soon afterward. The Kuhns are
| the successors in interest of Sheldon
and Schuyler and Beokwith's son, who

repudiated
The suit was tried once before and

RICHMOND, oct. 2O-Hiram W.
johnson concluded an all day tour of
Contra Costa county with a meeting at
the opera house here tonight, which
was one of the greatest political rail-
lies this city ever has known. More
than 1000 persons packed the opera
house 10 see and hear the republican
standard bearer, and hundreds more
would have attended had il been pos
sible for them TO get within sound of
the speakers voice.
Every inch Of standing room was
occupied and the overflow began even
before johnson reached the opera
house. From absolute necessity John
sons day speeches were among the
briefest he has made at any time since
the campaign began
VOICE Is STRAINED
The effects Of seven months of al
most continuous speech making, much
OF II in the open air and before i'm
mense audiences, is telling on his
voice. Johnson awOke this morning
after the big meeting last night at
NaDa with his voice badly worn.
In order to avoid the possibility of a
complete breakdown of his voice the
republican standard bearer husbanded
his vocal strength at all the day meet
ings- He spoke only briefly at each OF
the five, and then in a conversational
tone. Tonight his voice was in far bet
ter condition, and he spoke at length
with practically all his accustomed
vigor.
ORATORS AID JOHNSON
Fortunately Johnson was accompa-
MED during all his tour today by two
other able orators. former State Sen
ator Charles NJ. Belshaw and Arthur H
Elliott OF the Oakland city council, and
the burden of the speech making fell
upon them. Johnson left the more gen.
eral discussion of party issues and ar
guments to Belshaw and Elliott. Bel
shaw and Elliott paid eloquent tributes
to Johnson.
Despite brevity Of his talks johnson
was given great ovations at every STOP
and hundreds swarmed around him and
shook his hand. johnson and his party
left Napa at $50 O'Clock and reached
Port Costa shortly before noon. There
his automobile was met by a reception
committee of leading Contra Costa
county republicans, who accompanied
him and came into Richmond with him
tonight.
In the party were Elliott and Bel
shaw, Judge A S. Ormsby of Walnut
Creek, chairman OF the republican
county committee; Sheriff r. R. Vea1e,

OVATION EVERYWHERE
At Martinez the speaking took place
from the courthouse steps 10 a crowd
of 500 or 500 persons, which gave
Johnson a great welcome.
At Concord a crowd of about SOC
gathered. At Walnut Creek, Danville
and Lafayette. where the other after
noon meetings were held, practically
every bit of business in the towns was
suspended during Johnson's stay. Men
having intimate knowledge of the local
situation, declare Johnson will carry
the county by a majority of not less
Than 1,500.
County Chairman Ormsby presided al
