Red Cross officials are today taking: radical precautionary measures Jn the making of bandapes, following disclosure that Borne bandages have been sprinkled with ground glass in order to irritate the wounds of soldiers.

One measure which has been taken is the suspension of all home work. Orders went forth from headquarters today that in the future all bandages tnust be made in Red Pross branches. Albert W. Straub, director of the Atlantic division of the American Red Cross, who is credited with making the statement of the tampered bandages, issued a statement today denying that he had said poisoned bandage rolls had been discovered." Straub Charging that interest on annuity funds which the East Bay Water company desires the State Railroad Commission to permit to be set aside for depreciation purposes on company holdingsi represented "peoples' money" which wa des-tlned-to-go into the "Jeans" of the company, Attorney John S. Partridge, chief counsel for the city of Oakland, tins morning entered violent objection to the purposed plan as inimical to municipal interests, i 1'artridge's accusation arose during the Commission's inquiry Into East Bay water rates while Professor Charles T.

Oory of the University of California was on the witness stand. Cory with the use of highly technical engineering formulus and percentage tables was endeavoring to show that depreciation should be treated on a sinking fund basis with accruing annuities, in his testimony he was corrob of 'Oakland might not abide by the Tltu8-- Pendleton. agreement unaer which Pablo dam was to -be constructed and favor upper San.

LANDS NOT NEEDED.

It has been the contention of the city of Berkeley and Richmond as well aa RUSSIAN LECTURE Oakland that the lnd claimed by the Famed Orator Will Lecture in Oakland Friday Night on Russian Problems. water company as a necessary portion oi the purification system, represented a great maas of unused lands. Coupled with this was the declaration that Oakland may take the viewpoint that the San Pablo dam is not at all necessary. A discontinuance at the present time, according to testimony, would result in loss to-the water company of several hundred thousand dollars. TELLS OF BIG DAM.

"What this, amounts to," charged Partridge interrupting, "is that the company puts this money the people's money into its own jeans." PLAN SUGGESTED. The plan which the water company desires that the State Railroad Commission adopt as istandard, was worked out several years iago by Arthur L. Adams, a former engineer of the Peoples Water company, predecessor of the present company, and includes the setting aside of a certain annuity or sum of money each year to take care of the The annual depreciation is determined by percentages and engineering "cftrves" and draws the name of "curved method from this baslR.

Accorainrto the-wfrter-interefrtsr-thls-method Insures a fair return to water consumer and property owner alike. The of Oakland and sister communities have contended, however, that a "straight line" method by which the depreciation is determined according to a definite scale in advance, is the only method by which the interests of the municipalities can be protected. Operating expenses under both systems are figured as constant elements. Professor Cory in defending, the water company's theory with mathematical formulae this morning said: "It Is essential in this case to approximate water holdings at the end of each year, and to have a definite system under which depreciation can. be determined each year.

The equal annual payment plan Is fair to both consumer and property owner." In discussing the dividend feature of the matter, Attorney Creed asked that the Commission declare it as a future principle -that no public utility shall set aside a dividend which Is greater than the rate upon the residual value of the property covered by it."
