CITY HEALTH OFFICER
FURNISHES SENSATION
IN WATER HEARING
Tells Master in Chancery Sayers That City
Bacteriologists Testimony Was Not In
Accord With Reports Submitted to Him.
THE TIMES CONTENTION CONFIRMED
THAT MESA WATER IS ABUNDANT
Senator Daniel
Of Virginia With
His Crutch
Something of a sensation was occa-
sioned at the watjr hearing yesterday
when City Health Officer Anderson
told Master in Chancery Sayers that
the oily bacteriologist's testimony be-
fore the master was not In accord with
what the bacteriologist hail reported
to the city health officer. The master
had sent for Dr. Anderson, put him on
the stand and questioned him in a
manner Indicating that the master was

Theory for Application.
Witness stated that the theory for
the application of tho minimum rate
was to cover the expense of ItooV-
keeplug and making and maintaining

Another important feature of tho j connections; that there

on the Mesa would furnish indefinitely
from 8,000,000 to 10.000,000 gallons of
water per .day, thus confirming the
Times' contention that an abundant
supply of pure water could be obtained
on the Mesa.
Another important matter was Man-
ager Anderson’s estimate of the actual
value of the water company's plant
and land. He placed the figures at
$008,639, after deducting $91,961 for
depreciation through service.
Time is Limited.
Before beginning the examination of
witnesses yesterday morning Governor
Sayers, the master in chancery, said
that his time was limited and lie
wanted the lawyers in this case to be-
gin now preparing their arguments in
briefs. First he wanted the counsel
to present argument and law hearing
on the question as to whether or not,
under the franchise contract between
the water company and the city the
court has power to vary or alter that
contract either by increasing or mak-
ing alteration of the rates.
Further Instructions.
Secw-.l if.'let .court Has .snclf,power
in what - Way can It exercise that
power. ,
The master said he would have no
time to hear oral argument and wanted
counsel to put their argument and law
in the shape of briefs.
Judge Cold well—JJo you want to go
into this nestlou of the court's power
to increase rates on this investigation.
The Master—it is a point involved
in this hearing, according to my in-
structions from the court.
Governor Sayers went, on to say that
he had until the 15th of April to sub-
mit his report. He was satisfied, how-
ever. that if further time was needed
by all the parties interested the court
would grant It on a joint, request from
them.
"This,” said the governor, "is a very
important case .involving the life of
the water company, the rights of the
people, and the health of ‘your citi-
zens.”
First Witness Called.
Ij. e. Behr, city tax assessor and
collector was the first witness call-
ed by the interveners. He testified
he had resided in El Paso 2d years.
He was for years connected with the
Watts water company. He was ac-
quainted witli the class of the tiopula-
tion south of First street. Witness
testified as to the character of the
J buildings in that part of town.
f . Witness said that the Watts .Water
company charged both a flat and a
meter rate in that part of town. The
flat rate was $1 for family: the meter
rate was 75 cents for 1000 gallons.
Hut in 1896 the 90 cents minimum
rate was adopted. In a majority of
cases the straight meter rate was
charged. Where there were half dozen
families In a house and only one meter
the practice was to charge (he house
about three or four minimus rales.
of handling the accounts and main-
taining any number of connections,
aud that the minimum rate was in-
tended to cover such cases.
Section 5 of the old contract be-
tween tho city and the Watts Water
company, was introduced by Judge
Goggin. tt. recites the rates to be
charged for water.
Mr. Behr stated that the water com-
pany was not a party to the fixing of
the rates; but that they were fixed
by the eity council independent of
the water company's consent.
W. H. Burges said that the city
council at that time had no such au-
thority and could not nave fixed rates
•without the agreement of the water
company.
Object to Introductions.
Both counsel for the water com-
panv and for the receiver objected to :
the introduction of the ordinance as i
irrelevent.
Counsel for the water company j
said he objected because a conlrac?
with a company other titan defendant
and for other water than that covet" i
by the traaefcfc»«,U’»MiWVWht''b lb* •'
fondant company holds had no bear
ing on the case. Besides It was a eon-
tract. antedating the existence of the
International Water Co.
The Master in Chancery examined
Mr. Belli- closely relative to the water
served by the Watts company and wfi-
res* said the water from the Watt-
wells is as pure now as ever. Tt on
the master inquired as to the sewer-
age conditions and disposals at. the
county poor farm and the Birder set-
tlement.
Cross Examination.
Glider cross examination Mr. Bh’-
said the old company prior to 1896
charged $1 for a house. 5b cents f.;r
hath 75 cents for sprinkling and 50
cents for closets. Witness said when
the old company put in meters i:
was discovered that under the fia.
rate consumers had been using four
and five times as much water as they,
had been paying for.
Mr. Burges—But your company
charged the minimum to those who
did not kick.
Mr. Behr—I am sorry to say that 1
expect that is true.
Mr. Burges—How sorry are you?
Answer—Well. I was' pretty sorry.
Mr. Burges—But you didn't got
sorry until after you quit the water
company and had to pay for your
water. Why didn’t you cut out the
minimum rate,—jfOH wore superin
tendent ?
Mr. Behr—-Well I was anxious. Bite
all of us, to make all the money 1
could for the water company while 1
was working for it.
Shortage in 1892.
Witness said El Paso experienced
a water doitage in I8!>2 or along
about tli i*: time; lie thought, it was

FOREIGN COMPANIES PAID
HIGH PRICE IN FORCING
NEW YORK LEGISLATION
New York, March 21.—Out of the
mass of promising generalities that
has characterized the fire insurance
inquiry, there came today testimony
that three foreign re insurance compa-
nies had paid handsomely to have the
so-called Grady re-insurance bill
passed by the legislature at Albany In
1904.
The bill was passed and is still a
law, notwithstanding that It was op-
posed by the domestic companies who
subscribed $10,000 for the purpose,
and placed it in the hands of the late
George P. Sheldon, one-time president
of Phoenix Fire Insurance Company of I
Brooklyn.
These incidents were described on
the stand hy E. H. Acorreau. vice pres-
ident of the Home Fire Company, in
whose opinion the hili In question was
bought through the legislature by the
foreign companies. Just how the fund
raised to combat the measure was
spent was not made clear, except that
Mr. Sheldon used It in employing
counsel, for traveling expenses and
''fbr entertainment in going to Al-
bany.”
But New York's state capital was
not the' only point of interest to the
national board of fire underwriters,
according to the testimony of the day-
There were intimations of an organ-
ized system of influencing legislation
throughout the country.
It was shown that in I he years to
which the inquiry has been confined
—1901 to 19ti6—large sums were spent
for the most part nominally as ''coun-
sel fees" to put through or to suppress
bill* in manv states according as they
affected the interest. of the companies.
No state capitols were specified, how
eve.*.
It' was even suggeHted that the work
of the Insurance men extended to con-
gress.
William H. Hotchkiss, state superin-
tendent of Insurance, touched on this
point during Correa's examination.
He introduced in evidence a bill for
$10,000 allow'd by the national board
of fire underwriters of which Correa
was a member. This bill was pre-
sented by Emmet Rhodes 1 for services
tendered in connection with the repeal
■of the stamp tax act.”
The bill was dated July 16, 1903,

Washington, March 21.—The house
passed through it- fit > day of busi-
ness following; tho gri at. eruption of
last week with remarkable quietness
and tonight when Adjournment. i-ame
there waa an air of ralmne.-m and
amity, that, to observer* of events
last week was almost unbelievable.
Peace appeared near and this not-
withstanding that less than ten days
distant is the time for the selection
of a new rules committee with all its
embarrassing complications.
There were many elements contri-
buting to today's cfllm. The Demo-
ciats, satisfied with the .situation as
It left them after the four days of
fierce strife, were content to let mat-
ters drift a While-
Adroit in Relations.
The regular Republicans realizing
from the violent outbursts in the press
from various insurgents over the Sat-
urday night speech of Speaker Gannon
in which he called them “cowardly
members,” that party harmony was
to he gained only by the roost diplo-
matic tender of the olive branch,
were most .adroit in their relations
with their Insurgent brethren.
Those Insurgent* who voted to oust
Speaker Cannon from the speakership
were eminently satisfied today with
their efforts and like the Democrat*
let things drift.
Insurgents Wrathful.
The scoror so Insurgents who vot-
ed for the retention of the speaker
only to be rewarded with a withering
blast from the speaker, supplied the
only discordant note. The; reached
the capital in tt decidedly wrathful
frame of mind.
