UPON the Declaration of Independence hit name may be read without spec
tacles. It stand out the strongest, boldest, finest signature.
In the most realistic sense John Hancock pledged life and fortune to
finance the Revolution in its earlier stages.
He held investments in banks, breweries, distilleries, stores, hotels, and owned
a fleet of ships engaged in the rum, wine and oil trade. The seizure of one of them
(for evading the revenue laws) precipitated the Boston Massacre. He was strong
hearted, full of enterprise, patriotic and bold of spirit. Over many a foaming
glass of Boston Ale and hot punch he often declared, "I glory in publicly avowing
my eternal enmity to tyranny."

DEMAND SALE OF CITY
WATER BONDS AT ONCE,
DECIDE ON PIPE LATER
The Federated East fide rluhs unan
imously resolved at a meeting last
night to ask the council tr pass ;in or
dinance making possible the immediate
sale of the water bonds. It was the
opinion of the clubs that the first thing
to be settled is the financiering of the
bond Issue and then it Is time enough
to think about the material to be used.
At the next mooting adherents of the
different kinds of pipe lines will have
experts to present the merits of each to
the clubs and after a careful Investiga
tion the big east side organiasatlon will
determine upon what material It shall
use Its influence for.
Opinion was divided af the meeting
of last evening, but sentiment seems to
lean toward steel pipe.
Dr. Raffety of the water board made
a lengthy discussion on the value of
steel as opposed to concrete pipes. In
explaining his stand on the question Dr.
Raffety said:
V Hot Sure of Concrete.
"As yet concrete Is an unproven quan
tity In this country, ana arier careruny
comparing it with steel I find that the
latter is on the whole more satisfactory.
Concrete makes a very good and durable

conduit, but in order to withstand the
tremendous pressure that the new line
from Hull Run will have to stand the
pipes would have to be reenforced and
be built upon a massive scale. This
would increase the cost to such a de
gree that steel would be cheap by com
parison. "Then when a concrete main breaks
it is an extremely difficult matter to
repair it. Wherever the foundation for
tho concrete pipe is soft It is at a dis
advantage when compared to steel, as
the later will bemi while the former
bears as much pressure as It can and
then breaks.
"One of the arguments against the
metal conduit system is that It is im
paired by electrolysis. Having studied
the matter over 1 am convinced that
this can be prevented by layintf the
pipe upon a foundation of granite or
siliconous formation. By doing this In
sulation is obtained and electrolysis ob
viated. "Where pipes run through clay or
other soil that forms a conductor the
electric current leaps through and
leaves holes varying from the size of a
gencll point to a half inch In diameter,
ut wherever there Is such a piece of
perioratea pipe it can do cut out and a
new one substituted. This would make
tne cost cheaper, too, than that of re
pairing A break in a concrete main.
Council Hnit Act Tlrrt.
"Tho water hoard is being repeatedly
asked why construction of the pipe line
does not begin at once. I can say for
the board that It is ready today to start
work. We are only waiting for the
council to act. Before ,any construc
tion can go on an ordinance must first
be paused authorizing the saler of the
water bonds; these must then he sold
and the money put to the credit of the
water board. When this is done work
will begin without further delay.
"The city engineer will have a corps
of assistants in the field tomorrow to
complete plans for reservoirs and
f;rade. By the time the council does
ts share we will be able to proceed
along the lines already mapped out by
the engineer's office."
In the course of the evening It was
brought out by the speakers that the
new reservoir will contain 126,000 000
gallons of water, more than doubling
the present capacity.
Speeches advocatlnr concrete were
mane by Messrs. Resing, Davis and
Hodges.' President Boise of the Feder
ated clubs. Dr. William Deveny and Dr.
Raffetv were the chief speakers for
teel pipe The clubs decided to wait
until further data Is secured before ap
proving any particular kind of pipe. A
resolution was passed Instructing the
secretary to write to Manchester. Eng

concrete. This cltv carries water 60
miles through a concrete conduit sys
tem. Bridge Committee Report.
At the opening of last night's session
the report of the bridge committee was
received. This committee is composed
of o. E. Heintz, Frank J. Perkins and
F,. K. Rice. Three plans were submit
ted and the tnlrd one recommenueu.
This calls for a bridge having an ap
proach on East Water street. The cost
of bulldlne: here is estimated at $550,
000. Following is the report:
"We, your committee appointed at
your meetine held August IS, 1SKU. to
ascertain if the proposed new Madison
street bridge can be, built higher than
its present elevation for the amount of
tho authorized bond issue, beg leave to
report as follows:
"We find that so far there have been
only three plans prepared by the bridge
experts lor the following locations:
"One from Hawthorne avenue to Jef
ferson street. This location at Jeffer
Bon street cannot be considered on ac
count of the act giving authority to is
sue bonds requires that the bridge be
built at Madison street.
"The second plan Is for a bridge from
Madison street to llnwthorno avenue,
with nn approach ninniriK to the west
line of t'riion avenue which clears all
the cai" tracks.
"The third plan is for a bridge, the
same as called for by the second plan
with an approach running only to East
Water street. It Is the same height, or
23 feet higher than the present bridge
so that at some future time tho ap
proach can be extended to I nlon avenue
and clear all tho car tracks.
Bids for Piers.
The third plan, with an approach to
East Water street on the east side is
the only one, in the opinion of your
committee, which can be considered, or
built for anywhere near the amount of
the proposed bond Issue. 'I he estimated
cost of this bridge Is J55O.000. The
plans call for a first class structure. It
belnsr 60 feet wide, and the floor to be
made of stone blocks on a concrete base.
and the piers to he made of concrete and
run down dcen ennuxh to secure a good
foundation. In case the piers of the
bridKe are changed to a grillage of tim
bers on top of the piles, which will be
similar to the piers constructed for the
Morrison and the Burnslde bridges, the
cost, as stated hv J H. C. Lockwood,
will be $50,0( less than the estimated
cost, which will bring the cost of the
bridge down to $Siio,noo, or near the
amount appropriated.
"Bids can be received for both kinds
of piers, and it will then be a question
for the engineers to decide. If the bids
in either case run oxer the amount of
the bond Issue, we were Informed that
the city council has the authority to
make appropriations for bridges, and
that body could make up the deficiency,
If thev can be prevailed on to do so.
We believe that the bridges over Sulli
van's gulch were built under this au
thority. Your committee did not have
time to Investigate this thoroughly.
Bell Bonds at Once.
"It is further the opinion of your
committee, after investigaation, that th
bonds should be sold Immediately, if
Dosslble and bids called for before busi
ness revives in ti e east, as It Is prob
able that we mav get our bridge for the
1460.000 o close to If.
"In spraklna again of the character
of the bridge we recommend, we wish
to state that It will have only a s per

(t'nlted Pres ted Wire.)
Reno. Nev., -Aug. 26. Irene Hawley,
alias Irene Duff, known throughout the
United States as "Queen of the Pick
pockets," is In jail today at Sparks
after an exciting, escape from officers
yesterday.
The woman cleverly robbed a Sparks
bartender of $90 and fled to Reno,
where she was followed and arrested
by Constable .Malay of Sparks. On a
streetcar bound for the latter place j
Malay missed a diamond pin and his !
wallet. He stopped the car and ordered !
a search, but while the hunt was in I
progress his prisoner slipped out of j
the car and lumped into an automobile
standing near and started at breakneck
speed for Sparks.
Hearing of the runaway prisoner Dep
uty Sheriff Maxwell of Sparks started
toward Reno in an automobile to inter
cept her. When Irene sighted the ap
proaching officer, she Jumped from the
speeding machine Into a pond and se
creted nerself. The deputy kept on
after the chauffeur.
Later the fugitive was found at a
road bouse and arrested. While at
the police station undergoing search she
slipped a diamond ring from the finger
of an officer, but dropped it on the
floor by accident
afternoon on the Charmer, after having
been 30 days overdue from Australia.
Deputy United States Marshal Towle
arrested the skipper as soon as the
Charmer had dropped anchor and he put
up a bond of J2.000 and was released
soon afterward.
The charge against Captain Killman
is that he and officers of the West
Coast Commercial company conspired to
cheat the government out of a license
tax on salted salmon In 1905. The gov
ernment agents charge that Captain
Killman. who was then skinner of the
Agenor, sailed from Blind Point. Alaska,
to Yokohama without having paid the
license tax. Three days after the ves
! sel sailed, say the agents, every mem
i ber of the company had disappeared.
Captain Killman says he knows noth
ing about the charges, as he was simply
master of the ship.
CALIFORNIA PEOUd"
OF WEALTH INCREASE
(United Press Leaaed Wire.)
Sacramento, Cul., Aug. 26. According
to a report by the state board of equal
ization made public today the assess
ment value of all property In the state
for the year l!to8 Is $1,991,554,603. an
increase over that of last year of $112.
S9,1,6S. Suclr an Increase In one year
shows that the assessed wealth of the
state is rapidly approaching the two
billion mark. The shpwlng Is regarded
as remarkable In vlfew of the fact that
California is just emerging from a
period of financial Inactivity. In the
last two years the combined total In
crease has been $337,323,026.
The state tax levy is regarded -aa
particularly gratifying. It has been re
duced from -iihi cents on $100 to 40
cents. The rate will bo formally rati
fied at a meeting of the state board In
September.
