ests and the relations of the city with

outlined TO the city council tomorrow
night by President B. II. Pendleton,

explain the status of the water rate

council will receive from the local COM

Il shall take both. the Tevis matter
and the Peoples water company rates
before the council tomorrow night" 5"
said Pendleton ''As the matters now
stand / am not at liberty to talk So
many diverse interests are at stake
that an unintentional remark on my
part might jeopardize somebody's
rights
While I have had good share in
handling the city's water negotiations
l feel that in the present situation the
council itself should make it's own de-
cisions. For that reason l am averse
to expressing any personal opinion. 1
can merely report to the council as to
what | have in mind and as to what 1
have been informed"
Pendleton introduced into the coun-
ell at its last meeting a resolution ask
ing the Peoples water company to sub
nit a detailed list of its holdings and
watersheds in the Oakland district

ANNEXED DISTRICT
Sergeant Brown Is Assigned to
Command of the Eimhurst
Branch Station

OAKLAND, Feb. 27.-The branch po-
lice station for the annexed district
near EImhurst will be opened Tuesday

the branch station in communication
with him, and at nights Brown will be

tail in his charge. The new station is
located midway between Fruitvale ave-
nue. and the east boundary of the city.
Policemen Arrest, Gilbert and Muir
ply have been detailed by Chief Wilson
to service in the annexed district, and
Policeman Ely, now patrolling in Mel
rose, will be called to the central sta
tion Tuesday for duty.
The branch station has just been
completed. Sergeant Brown was Sc
of the annex for his efficiency in the
downtown districts as patrol SER
geant. He is. now the ranking patrol
sergeant in the force and is in line for
promotion when the department is
reorganized.
His transfer to the annex marks the
institution of effective police protec-
tion of the new city territory. Begin
ming Tuesday there will be six men and
the sergeant in the district, and as soon
as other patrolmen are added to the
force Chief Wilson will increase the
detail
The chief will ask the city council to
increase the police force by about %
men July !, when the new fiscal year
will begin. He wants more patrolmen
to enable him to cover the city more
thoroughly, and will ask for an in
crease of the detective force. 1t is
likely that two detectives will be de-
tailed soon to duty in the annexed ter
ritory, but with the present force of
about 130 men it is impossible to put
as large detail as the chief desires in
any part of the city.

DICKINSON TO TELL
OF STEAMSHIP DEAL
Senators Want to Know Why
He Opposed Panama Line

WASHINGTON, Feb 27.-Secretary
Dickinson will appear before the SEN
ate committee on interoceanic canals
Monday to give his version regarding
steamship connections with the Pan
anna railroad. He will be asked to tell
of the war departments experiences
with Bernard N. Baker, who gave tes-
timony before the committee calculated
to leave the decided impression that
the secretary of war was "shooing
away" from the Panama trade such
steamship lines as might ruff1e present
agreements between the Panama rail-
road company and the Pacific Mail
lines, which are in control of the
transcontinental railways.
Baker was formerly president of a
Baltimore steamship line. He said that
when the Pacific Mail steamship com
pany gave notice to the government
that it would insist on receiving 10
per cent of the joint rate on traffic
between New York and San Francisco
over the Panama railroad he offered
to establish line and handle the bust
ness under the old rate of so per cent,
providing his line were given mail
contract Baker told the committee that
his company could have made money
at that rate.
Secretary Dickinson will undertake
to show that Bakers proposal had sew
erai jokers attached to it and that they
would have made it impossible for
the government to do business with
him.
The continuation of the hearings be-
fore the canal committee will be of es-
pecial interest, in view of the fact that
one of the quizzers of the secretary of
war will be Senator Bristow, who,
while a private citizen, was sent to
the isthmus by Taft, who then was sec
retary of war, as a commissioner to
ascertain the needs of the Panama
railroad as regarded its west coast
connections.
Bristow reported in favor of gov
ernment owned line of steamships on
the Pacific. Taft approved the plan,
but he has since reached the conelu-
sion that such departure would not
be advisable.
Senator Bristow, member of the
senate committee, commenting upon
Dickinson's statement, said that 1t was
clear to him that the government Off
cials did not want to take any steps
that would injure transeontinental rail-
roads"

WANT CAR LINE TO
PARALLEL BROADWAY

OAKLAND, Feb. 27.-The Broadway
to Market Improvement club has de-
cided to petition the Oakland traction
company to run a streetcar line parallel
with Broadway and west of that thor
oughfare along either Grove or Clay
streets. 1t was also suggested that
the line might loop from one street
to the other, running down one and
returning the other. The petition
is based on the argument that these
streets are becoming such important
business localities that it is impera-
tive they should have streetcar service.
