MAKE WATER RATE
Representative of Company Pro-
tests Against Any Reduction
in Allowance

BERKELEY, March S.-Although the
city council had called for meeting OIL
the protestants against the rates
charged here by the Peoples water
company, no objection was made this
morning, and the commissioners ana
mayor probably will make the rate for
the ensuing year at the next meeting
C. D. Maloney, local manager of the
water company. appeared to show the
council why the rate should not be
lowered. He said that the assessed
valuation of the properties of the COM
pany inside the city limits was s376,1O0,
divided into real estate sS2,10O, i'm
provements $4,000, personal property
100000. Outside the city the holdings
were assessed at s47S,911, Of which
S26O,511 was real estate.
Maloney stated that the company had
147 miles of pipes in Berkeley and that
while the water rate for Alameda was
81. the minimum supply was 400 cubic
feet, but in Berkeley, with a rate of
$3.50. the minimum quantity was 571
cubic feet.
Charles A. Sinclair of the Berkeley
electric lighting company asked that
electroliers be installed in Center street
between Grove and Oxford.

OAKLAND, March S.-The Realty
syndicate's announcement that the fiEst

TONG MURDER CASE
QUASHfD BY COURT
Prosecuting Official Calls Witt
nesses for State dope
Fiends and Liars"

OAKLAND, MARCH, S.-Characterizing
Chin Tung, accused of the murder of
Yee Gee, as dope fiends and liars"
Deputy District Attorney w. B. Smith,
who was in charge of the prosecution
of the case, today asked that the
charges against the accused Chinese be
dismissed because there was no eyi-
dence against him.
Judge Waste granted the prosecut-
or's request without calling for any
defense.
Smith declared that the accused man
should never have been held to an
swer for trial at his preliminary ex-
animation He was arrested on war
rant issued by Justice of the Peace
Geary, who held the preliminary. At
the time Smith moved for dismissal
on the ground that no conviction could
be secured, but his motion was op-
posed by Attorney Philip NJ. Walsh.
who had been retained by the Yee
family as a special prosecutor. The
killing of Yee Gee was the outcome
of a feud between the On Yick tong
and the Yee family. Geary refused to
dismiss the case.
The witnesses at the trial were two
Chinese and two white denizens of
Chinatown, whom Smith characterized
as opium fiends. They weakened badly
under cross examination and contra
dicted themselves to such an extent
that Judge Waste refused to believe
them.
At the time of his arrest Chin Tung
said that discriminating evidence was
put in his pocket by deputies of Con-
stable Allen at the instance of the Yee
family, which, he declared was de-
termineJ to fasten the killing of one
of it's members on one of the On Yicks
The zee family was refused a warrant
for Chin Tung's arrest by the police
judges of Oakland prior to the issuance
of the warrant by Geary.

THE WOMEN
7 AXE Up
CHALLENGE
WILL MAKE EFFORT TO PROVE
STORIES ABOUT TREAT.
MENT OF WOMEN IN
CITY JAIL.

Fully intent on showing that the
need Of matrons at the city Jail is
as great as made out at the meeting
of the city council Wednesday night
members of the Woman's club that
have been active in the matter of
securing a police matron today &C.
cepted the challenge of the police
department delivered through
Chief Sullivan and Mayor Pratt, to
show why a ratron is needed.
They will appoint member on
the investigating committee to act
with DR.. Kramer, the other member
to be named by the city council, and
propose to sift the treatment of
women prisoners at the city jail
to the bottom. If half the reports
prove to be true a condition will be
revealed that will startle the city.
The women are not going into the
fight in spirit of malice or a de-
sire for notoriety, but for the good
OF Womanhood in particular and
humanity at large. Volunteer help
ers have come to the aid of the
women yesterday and today and
they are running down every ave-
nue. of information that is open. 1t
is nasty fight, but the women
hope that when it ends there will
be permanent good reaped for the
unfortunate women who fall into
the tolls of the law.
