Iff THE 3IORXIXG OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER, 9, 190b. HUNGRY FOR JOBS Cuban Liberals Will -Protest to Governor Magooh. WILL SEND COMMITTEE Demands of Followers Force Leaders to Ignore Denial They Seek Office Mayor Who Causes Dissension Removed. HAVANA, Nov. 6. The growing senti ment of dissension among Liberals In con eequence of lack of suttees of their ef forts to induce Governor Magoon to dis miss Moderates from Important poets in the insular administration, replacing them with Liberals, crystallized tonight at a secret meeting of the Liberal committee on appointments. There were present Pino Guerra, Alfredo Zayas, Jose Miguel Gomez, Jos. J. Borrteagucdo, General Cas tillo, Rafael Duandy and representatives from all provinces. Special objection was made to the re appointment of Police Captain Reguera, a Moderate, and to the appointment of various minor officials in the Custom House. The reappointment of Reguera was particularly obnoxious to the Lib erals. Up to the present time the leaders of the Liberal party have protested that they did not seek office, and were entirely will ing to abide by the selections made by the Governor. The meeting tonight, how ever. Is the result of pressure brought' to bear by applicants for ofliee, and it was decided to appoint a committee to call on the Governor, express the party's dissat isfaction with recent appointments, and make a strong appeal for the recognition of Liberal aspirants to various important positions. Hitherto the Governor has shown no haste in making appointments, making such as seem patlcularly neces sary. It has been expected for some time past that the patience of the Liberals soon would be exhausted as time went by and they were not given office, and that steps would be taken to bring pres sure to hear upon the Governor. Governor Aleman, of Santa Clara, has dismissed Garcia Vieta from the post of Mayor of Cienfuegos. The ex-Mayor was a very strong Moderate, and was bitterly opposed by the Liberals on account of his alleged complicity in the murder of Villuendas in Cienfuegos last year. It is believed that his removal will tend to the restoration of tranquillity in that vi cinity, where there has been much dis content and considerable disorder. INCREASE IX RURAL GUARD Magoon Tukcs Measures to Root Out Cuban Brigandage, HAVANA, Nov. 8. (Special.) Governor Magoon lias made another increase in the rural guard. He ordered the enlistment of six additional companies of 100 men each, bringing the total strength to 5600. Major Slocum has been entrusted with carrying out the augmentation, which will make the number of rurals double what it was at the opening of the late revolu tion. MAINS MAKE RATES HIGH (Concluded From Forst Page.) themselves, under supervision of the Wa ter Department, and when the earnings came to be per cent the department has bought the pipes. Mains Bolster Up Lund Values. But even in such cases, and where the city lays mains Itself, many vacant lots are passed, whose values jump upward, but whose owners make no return to the consumers who pay for the Improvement. -In the busy part of the city, expensive mains must be maintained for fire pro tection, and new and bigger tubes must be laid from time to time all this at the expense of water consumers, chiefly of small householders and rent-payers who are charged from $1 for cooking and washing and closet, to $1.50 and $2 for buth and water heater included. The price set upon the fire service by the Water Department will be more than $110,000 this year, last year having been C9,703, and in 1904 Jo6,894. Monthly bills lor this service are rendered by the de partment, but are not paid. Payment, while adding to the taxes of the city, would enable reduction of water rates more than 10 per cent. Main extensions, up to this month In 1906, cost $2S1,1S6.37; meters. $16,387.70: res ervoir construction, $11,975.59; sinking fundj $31,500; and Interest on bonds will amount to $160,01)0. The runViing expenses of the department were $05, 765.07 additional. An advocate of the plan for assessing p'Pe cost against benefited property is R. B. Lamson, member of the Water Com mission, who calls the present system unjual, because it places on consumers the burden of paying for new mains, "the majority of whom have no interest what ever in the matter." A letter to The Ore gonian, addressed by him yesterday, is as follows: PORTLAND. Or., Nov. 8. (To the Edi tor.) I should like to make a few state ments in relation to the circular being distributed by the Portland Free Water Association, and The Oregonian editorial of yesterday, on the same subject. It Is a fact that our present system of laying water mains is unjust in requir ing the whole cost to be borne by the consumers, the majority of whom have no interest whatever In the matter, but It Is the only method possible at this time, as the Water Department has abso lutely no funds except those received from sale of water, and the mains must be enlarged and extended enormously to keep pace with the rapid growth of the city. I am in favor of a change in the charter providing for the enlarging and extending of mains under the direction and supervision of the water board and Its engineers, and assessing the entire expense thereof to the owners of prop erty directly benefited thereby. Owners would probably add this charge to prices of lots or to rents to some extent, but Jt would be a great improvement over the present system and would result in cutting the present water rates about in half. I wish to state plainly, and as emphati cally as I can, and my statement can be proved by the records of the Water Board, that in no Instance have mains been laid, or are any being laid, except such as are absolutely necessary to serve the actual needs of the people: of the people entirely without water and those whose supply is extremely inadequate. Mains are not laid around farms or across long stretches of vacant land, and applications are never considered which have for their object the development of suburban property, or any object other than to supply the wants of actual resid ents. Rales for Laying Mains. The rules of the water board under which mains are laid are these: The street upon which a main is desired must be opened and graded to city grades; there must be a sufficient number of actual consumers that can be supplied by no other means to pay an annual re turn of 6 per cent on the total cost of the main, and it must further appear that the laying of the main is necessary to furnish an adequate supply of water to such consumers. Not only this, but the revenue to be derived is based on the cost of a main large enough to furnish fire protection and to provide for future growth; no mains are laid less than six inches in diameter. Even working under these stringent rules many vacant lots are passed from which no part of the cost can be derived. This is an injustice which would be re medied by forcing the owners by assess ment to pay their share of the cost in the manner I have stated. The laying of the large main from ML Tabor to High land Just completed may have given rise to the conclusion that mains were being laid "around farms in the city," but the work was done solely to relieve the en tirely Inadequate supply and actual suf fering caused thereby In the large and thickly settled districts on the high ground north of East Portland and be yond. Equitably, this should have been paid for by the large district receiving direct benefits from the line, including farms and vacant property. In reality, every consumer is paying his proportion. The methods I advocate of assessing the cost of mains to property benefited and charging the consumer the cost of delivering water, and further, of pre venting the excessive waste of water by many at the expense of all, by the use of meters, are in practice in a great majority of cities everywhere and result in a very low cost to the consumer. The case of fire protection is, I think, a good example of the injustice of charg ing the cost of mains to consumers. The quantity of water used for this purpose is in the aggregate so very small that If the cost were divided among consumers It would amount to practically nothing; but the cost of laying mains sufficiently large for adequate protection is very great, and yet under our present system they must be laid and paid for by the consumer or we could get no Insurance. Free Water Out of the Question. The theory advocated by the Free Water Association, that of furnishing water in unlimited quantities to everyone by direct taxation, on the other hand, is out of the question and more unjust than the present method. Such a proposition would be on a par with free heat, free light, free bread, free anything: to be made free by a general tax on city prop erty. Water is a necessary commodity of which each persos must consume a cer tain amount to live in comfort and clean liness. Why make one person because he happens to own valuable property pay for more than he can possibly use and then take the surplus he has paid for and give it away principally to the largest consumers whose share of the general tax can have no relation to the amount of water they consume. This theory, if worked out, would also produce one of two results: either water would be so free that the capacity of Bull Run would soon be insufficient to supply the consumption, or a .corps of clerks, inspectors, etc., practically as now, would be needed to check waste, inspect plumbing, read meters, make out and collect bills for excessive consumption. and perform a large proportion of their present duties. It costs exactly so much to brine a gallon of water from Bull Run and de liver It to the consumer. Is it not fair to let him pay this cost, based upon the amount he consumes, and if he is a prop erty owner, let him also pay for furnish ing the means of delivering the water to his property? This would be accomplished with fairness to eveRyone by charging cost of distribution (laying mains) to the property to be served and benefited, and charging consumers the cost of delivery In proportion to the amount used, - but it can only be done by a qharter amend ment to that effect.

BLOOMINGTON, III., Nov. 9. The operator at the Chicago & Alton Rail road station here reports that the Golden State Limited passenger train, Eastbound, on that road, was held up and robbed one mile east of Glasgow, Mo:, about 2:30 o'clock this morning. The bandits went through the sleep ing cars, 'robbing the occupants, but were prevented from entering the chair cars and day coaches by the conductor, who locked the doors.

Claim 19 for Balance of Bill Incurred by Steamer While in Drydock Undergoing Repairs. The steamer Geo. W. Elder, a historic vessel on the Pacific coast, after being wrecked, raised, repaired and made al most ready to resume service, encoun tered a new setback yesterday, when she was libelled by the Port of Portland Commission for the sum of $4788. In the libel, which was filed in the United States Court yesterday afternoon, the claim was signed by A. L. Pease, as president of the commission, and direct ed against the Elder and J. H. Peterson and C. P. Doe as her owners. The suit arises out of a difference of opinion in regard to the charges made by the commission against the Elder while she occupied a berth in tne dry- dock. The total bill amounted to a little more than $12,000. The new owners of the Elder paid something like $7000, leaving a balance due of $4,788, the payment of which was refused on the ground that th vessel had been unduly delayed in the drydock. This delay was charged to improper handling on the part of the drydock, but an investigation led the commission to believe that if any fault existed it was due to the Elder and its owners, and a libel suit was ordered filed for the bal ance of the bill. . The Elder was expected to enter on her San Francisco run during the latter part of next week, but whether the libel suit will have the effect of delaying her or not has not been given out. WILL PAY UAL1 OF CLAIM Port of Portland Commission Splits Difference With "Slabwood King. M. C. Banfield. Portland's "slabwood king," occupied the floor most of the time during the Port of Portland Commission meeting yesterday in an endeavor to secure more money than an implied con tract called for. After half an hour's discussion a compromise was effected by which the commission will pay in stead of $3010 for fuel supplied to the dredge Columbia during the month of October. The fuel discussion before the com mission yesterday arose mainly out of the failure of the commission to com plete a contract and the desire of Ban- field to avoid a moral contract wnicn meant a heavy loss to his firm. Last April the contract which Banfield had to furnish the dredge Columbia with fuel expired. The price offered under this contract was $1.7o per cord for slab wood or a flat rate of $2000 per month. The board accepted the later but at the expiration of the contract stated that the grates of the dredge were to be changed to permit the use of ground fuel, that is saw dust, shavings, etc. Pending this change Banfield wrote a letter that he would furnish wood under the old con tract until such time as the new method was adopted. A contract to this effect was drawn up but signed only by Secre tary Driscoll. of the commission. Since that time the Government, which has the dredge under charter, has not found itself in a position to spare the Columbia for a sufficient time to allow the change of grates to be made. As a result Banfield has been furnishing wood under the old contract. For the month of October, when the dredge worked unusually hardthe fuel bill figured at $1.75 per cord amounted to $3010. Banfield thought payment of $2000 for this was unjust, since he' had no specified contract for that rate at this time. The commission agreed with him to the extent of granting, a compromise and allowed half of the difference. $505. From this time on the dredge Columbia will burn fuel at a cost of $1.75 per cord at least until her new grates are installed. President Pease was authorized by the commission to investigate and act In the matter of installing steam power stearing gear and a stronger winch on the tug McCraken. At the request of the Eastern & West ern Lumber Company the use of the dredge Portland was granted the com pany in order to smother the fire which has been smoldering in its mill yards for days. Water has been found useless in quenching the sawdust fire and it was asked that the dredge be brought there to pump silt into the fire. vThe mill company is to reimburse the commission for the time the dredge Is out of the Government's service and in use by the company.

ATTEMPT TO HOLD JOBS (Continued from First Page.) ager of domestic agencies of the New Tork Life, testified that he had heard of letters sent out by the agents in the in terest of the administration ticket, but these agents personally bore the expense attached. He knew of no money of the company having been spent in this way. He had himself, in a personal capacity, contributed to a private fund for this purpose and had, when asked by friends, personally advised them to vote for the administration candidates. He insisted on distinguishing between agents In their official and individual capacities, and said an agent could use his official connec tion in a private capacity, but should not give out official information to a third party for the latter's use. Agents of the Mutual Life admitted having worked for the administration ticket, but with one exception, denied having spent any company funds in con nection therewith. The exception was Thomas C. Hindman, manager for the Mutual Life Insurance Company in Ten nessee. He testified that he employed agents on salary to solicit both business and votes and that he had acted on his understanding of instructions from Man ager Dudley of Baltimore, these instruc tions having been approved by Inspector of Agencies Wooten, of Boston. Mr. Wooten testified that Mr. Hindman had misunderstood his instructions and that he (Wooten) had not authorized pay ment of agents for soliciting or securing votes. He said he referred the letter to the home office and that Vice-President Dexter had informed him that sums so expended must be refunded to the com pany. ARRESTED IN HIS YARD SEATTLE COUNCILMAN IN THE CLUTCHES OF NEW "COP." Even When Mrs. J. E. Crichton Iden tifies Her Husband, the Officer Lets Go Reluctantly SEATTLE. Wash., Nov. 8. (Special.) Dr. J. H. Crichton, member of the Seat tle City Council for 14 years, several times its presiding officer and one of the best known men in Seattle, was arrested in his own yard last night as a burglar by one of the 30 new policemen Dr. Crichton's efforts in the City Council se cured for the police department. Dr. Crichton himself told the story this morning. He was standing under the eaves of his house, near an open win dow, while a dog was exercising in the yard. A new policeman saw him and swooped down upon the Councilman. Dr. Crichton's protests were unavailing until he induced the policeman to ask the peo ple within the house to Identify him. When Mrs. Crichton recognized her hus band, the new policeman grudgingly per mitted him to go. The new policemen are a busy iot. A few nights ago President David Bowen, of the City Council, waited outside the civil service commission's offices for a friend and a new policeman ordered him to move off or suffer arrest. CRAZY KING GROWS WORSE Miserable Unkempt Otto of Bavaria a Pitiable Object. BERLIN, Nov. 9. (Special.) The af flicted. King of Bavaria is worse. The careful efforts made by the Prince Re gent and his Ministers to keep his con dition from public knowledge have been successful, on the whole, but within the last few days the news has filtered through, which shows that King Otto Is growing mentally feebler. He will not eat anything warm and seldom eats during the day. Although there are numerous attendants watching the sick King, none of them dare appear in his presence, and unless absolutely necessary, none are allowed to look at him. - He will not suffer his hair or beard to be c,ut, and it Is said that he looks the most unkingly of objects in his wild, unkempt condition. His physical health has begun to fail, but no physi cian dare approach him and the prescrib. tag of medicines is unknown. Black night is falling on the unhappy King, more abject in his tragic state than the meanest of his subjects. Roberts Wanted in Calgary. CHICAGO, Nov. 8. Percy C. Roberts, said to be wanted by the authorities of Calgary, in connection with an illegal banking transaction, was arrested here today. Happiness in a Tablet Perfect" Health for Every One Pro cured at Small Cost. How many times have you sat down at your meals absolutely disgusted at the thought or sight of anything to eat? How many times have you sat down at your meals without the trace of an appetite, but just because it was "time to eat?" How many times have you felt a gnaw ing, unsatisfied "stin-hungry" feeling in your stomach, even after you were through eating? How many times have you felt that "lump of lead" on your stomach after eating, whether your meal was well cooked or not? And how many times have you suffered a whole lot of other things from your stomach that you couldn't explain, but that made you grouchy, miserable, out-o'-sorts and generally sour on everybody and everything? It is safe to say that you couldn't tell. Tou don't keep track of those things, of course, but you know you've suffered them. You probably have had them for so long that they've become a habit with you, and you have come to the conclusion that your fate is to suffer them Indefi nitely and perhaps forever. And so men, much like horses, stand ing unhitched at the hitching post, think they're tired, and so their habit makes them prisoners. But no one need have dyspepsia, nor indigestion, nor loss of appetite, brash irritation, burning sensations, heartburn, nausea, eructations, bad memory, loss of vim and vigor and the happiness that comes from a healthy stomach and a good appetite if he will only leave his old hitching post and tie himself to a new one, one that will hold him to health, joy, ambition and a clear mind and memory, and the sunshine that goes with them. That indeed is Heaven! And you can get it In a little tablet already prepared for the purpose, in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, those little cherubs of health and delight found in thousands of homes to day. Listen one ingredient of one of these precious little tablets will digest for you 3000 grains of food. This relieves your stomach of the work of digesting until your stomach can get strong and healthy again. Your stomach has been overworked and abused. It's fagged out. It needs a rest. Let Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do the work of your stomach. You will be sur prised how fine you feel after eating and how lusciously good everything will taste to you. Thnt's because the Tablets are thoroughly digesting the food which your stomach couldn t digest before. Have these tablets on your dining table and tab one or two after every meal without fail. Then you will realize as never before that the human stomach decides for every man whether he will go forward or backward and besides, you'll forget you ever hud a stomach to torment you. AFOLIO POI?
