SHIPPING men Want
Lower Water RATES
Schwerin Tells Supervisors the
Spring Valley Charges on
Wharves Are Excessive
Washing Fluid Costs 10 Cents
and Drinking rs Cents
Each 1000 Gallons

Objection to the charge made by the
Spring Valley company for supplying
water to the port shipping was made
yesterday before the supervisors water
rate committee by r. P. Schwerin for
the Pacific Mail and ]. C. Hibberd for
the Pacific Coast steamship company
and other shipping men.
'Our company uses 100000 gallons
of water every year in provisioning our
boats and we get all of this we can
away from San Francisco because of
the excessive charge made by the
Spring Valley company" said Schwerin.
Hibberd said that the rate from IS
cents to $3.50 a thousand gallons was
ridiculous. especially when his com
pany could buy the same water on the
wharf for washing down purposes for
16 cents.
Attorney E. j. McCutchen for the
company stated that the general ex-
penses of furnishing the service had
to be met and that the company's
charges were regulated accordingly
The committee took the matter un-
der advisement
The complaint of contractors that
they were charged IA cents for water
used with a barrel of cement in build
ing operations when tests showed that
by meter rates the cost would barely
exceed l cent was also considered. but

the attorney had the stenographer read
it over to hi mtwice.
This question implies an insult, that
we made a suggestion to suit our
selves replied the secretary hotly
Il have said heretofore that we sent to
the president all the fact and withherJ
nothing.
APPEAL FOR PROTECTION
Gentlemen of the committee, L ap-
peal TO you for protection from the
insolence OF this man who is trying to
cross examine me. He is here by suf-
ferance of the committee and not by
any other right. L asked for this in
Vesugatfon, and want a searching one,
but | think / am entitled to be free
from the imputation the gentleman
puts in his questions"
Judge Madison (republican-in insur-
CENT? thought it was obvious that
CLAWS had an opportunity to see the
answers, to which the witness as
sented, and the inscident was passed
over without Brandeis making any re-
ply to Ballinger's outburst.
ONE QUESTION WITHDRAWN
Another argument occurred a few
moments later when Senator Root OBJ
jected to the following question::
AS lawyer and a judge, covering a
long period of years, were you not
aware that the question of the truth OF
the CLAWS charges could not be deter
mined where you had the opportunity
of answering him, and he, CLAWS, had
no opportunity to know If you put in
all the facts?'
Brandeis withdrew the question after
considera BILE discussion, during which
it was suggested by the members OF
the committee that the president could
answer the question better than Bal
linger.
PROTEST FROM SENATOR
Senator Sutherland was the next
member of the committee TO protest
against Brandeis' methods of cross ex-
animation. He objected when the at
torney asked the witness if it were not
I fact that of the four pages of the
record devoted to the, presidents letter
generating him, only half dealt with
the CLAWS charges. He thought the
matter irrelevant. and, slamming a
copy of the record on the table before
think the lawyer should waste any
more of the committees time.
James CD of Kentucky objected to
members Of the committee interruptine
counsel every few minutes.
I'll take the liberty of interrupt
ing counsel whenever 1 choose re-
torted Sutherland.
"Fu take the liberty of interruptine
members when they interrupt counsel
whenever L choose" returned James
suavely.
After this little passage Brandeis
asked another question. He wanted to
know whether the presidents letter
did not contain many Inaccuracies.
Il refuse to answer your question
I will not be put in the attitude OF
criticizing the president" replied the
witness.
Brandeis then sought to make the
witness admit certain statements were
based on inaccurate information. He
referred to the presidents statement
that CLAWS had been superseded by
Sheridan because a lawyer was needed
to handle the Cunningham claims.
Brandeis pointed out that the testi-
mony and letters of bennett and
Schwartz showed that CLAWS was SUI
perseded because he did not want the
cases to go TO hearing without field
examination.

is heard in Nebraska democratic poll
tics now, the question being opened
afresh by the approaching big meet
ing OF Nebraska democrats at Lincoln
when a paramount issue" will be
decided upon and slate made up.
Possibly a statement will be read
from Mr.. Bryan himself which will set

Hitchcock as Possibility.
Among the possibilities is Congress
man Hitchcock of Omaha He has
been elected to congress four times,
and, with his newspaper to back him,
looms up Just behind Mr.. Bryan as
senatorial timber.
1t is the ambition of Mr.. Hitch
cocks life to represent Nebraska in
the senate, a position once held by
his father. He has not yet announc-
ed himself a candidate, but has stated
officially he probably would enter the
race.
Shalenberger also has been stung
by the senatorial bee. He rests his
claims to the office on having made
himself solid with the anti-saloon for
ces by signing the daylight saloon bill
which forced every barroom in the
state to close every night at o'clock.
However. he has made an enemy of

the legislature selects the candidate

for the office.
The law was adopted by the Ne
braska legislature only upon the most
urgent solicitation on the part of MIR.
Bryan and now he seems destined
to be the first victim of its power.
Bryan Fears to Take Chance.
For Mr.. Bryan wants to be senator,
but is afraid to go before the people
at an election. Should he fail to carry
his state on an election of this kind
''he" fears that never again can he lay
claim to be the idol of the Nebraska
democracy.
Under the law, each candidate must
file his own application, and Mr.. Bry-
an wants himself to be put up by his
friends and not through any effort Of
his own. Therefore the Oregon plan
is to be attacked in the courts and if
possible declared unconstitutional. in
order that he may not be a senator
rial candidate without having to de-
clare himself. This court attack on
the Oregon plan will be made soon.
w. H. Thompson is another big dem
ocratic politician who wants to get into
the senate. He has been out for gov
ernor, senator, congressman and al
most any old office that happens to be
