PATRIARCH FAILED TO
BREATHE LIKE YOGI
First Aid to Chaldean-Assyrian
Orphans Arrested

OAKLAND, June 29.-Because Dea-
con Elias George, patriarchal Byzan-
tine, could not breathe like a Hindu
Yogi, c. Patrick Hiidesley vocal
teacher and deyotee of the cult of the
Yogi, had him arrested today at Hill
desley's Franklin street. studio. George
convinced the police that he was not
a bunkoman, although he lid not
prove that he is an agent for the Chal-
Iean-Assyrian orphanage in Turkey.
1t was in this character that the
deacon tackled Hildesleys for a con-
tribution. incidentally. just to show
the singer that he knew all about
Hindustan, where the Yogi thrives,
George mentioned that cult in an off
hand way.
Now Hildesley is a Yogi, that is,
teaches his pupils to breathe like a
Yogi that they may eadenza better.
So the singer put the visitor over a
course of sprouts that convinced Hill
desley that he had discovered fraud.
Hildesley told the police so over
the telephone. and kept the deacon
busy talking as the Yogis do in Hindu
stan. When the police arrived. Hill
desley let his guest go without a
contribution. The deacon said he had
not been called a fraud before during
a tour of the whole world in the In
terests of the Assyrian Cha ldean or
phans of Turkey.

TEVIS PROMISES
TO Define SUPPLY
Tells Alameda Officials That
Work on Water Plant VIII
Begin Soon

ALAMEDA, June 29.-President w. s.
Tevis. General Manager C. n. Beal and
Manager c.. E. Gilman of the. Bay
Cities Water company, conferred this
afternoon in the city hall with Mayor
w. H. Noy, Councilmen William Ham
mond Jr. and Bert l.. Fisher of the
public utilities committee, and City At
torney M. W. Simpson about the plan
of the corporation to enter this city.
The eitys representatives wanted it
specified that the water which the COM
pany says it intends to supply will not
be drawn from sources now used by
the Peoples Water company They
claimed there was nothing in the Bay
Cities company's contract to show
where the water for the proposed sys-
tenn is to come from. President Tevis
assured the city officials that his COM
pany would not use water from any
sources now used in supplying Ala
media and declared emphatically that
his company would send a letter to
the city council clearly covering this
point.
TEVIS OPPOSES LEASE PLAN
The proposition advanced by the
representatives of the city that the Bay
Cities Water company lease instead of
asking the city to buy the plant, which
President Tevis says his concern means
to put in here, was not regarded with
favor by the water magnate. He
stated that lease would complicate
the situation and would not prove salts
factory to his company.
The request of the city officials that
President Tevis extend from two to ten
years his offer to the municipality of
purchase option on the distributing
plant his company plans to construct
would also complicate matters, de-
clared Tevis. He said that he would
take this request up with directors
of the company and would give the
city officials an answer in writing.
WANTS CONTRACT UNCHANGED
Tevis said that he did not consider
proposed changes in the private con-
tracts being circulated by the COM
pany necessary. and that the issuance
of new contracts would be a source
of heavy expense, and would delay his
plans for beginning work on the plant.
He added that if the city council de-
sired any assurance in writing that
every section of the contract would be
carried out to the letter, he was ready
to furnish it. Tevis predicted that the
Bay Cities Water company would prob
ably begin work on it's proposed sys-
TEN within 80 days. He said that his
company had met with every en-
courag agement from the people of Oak
land and Berkeley and that many con-
tracts had already been signed in Ala
media.
