Next year the gtate tax will not run over 44.6 cents on the hundred, which means a difference of two million and a quarter to the tax- payers of California. The heayy rate this year was caused by tbe fact that certain previously existing deficiencies had to be Keds et. It would be hard to imagine a cozier re- treat with a more harmonious setting than the Polliwog appears in a quiet slough in San Joaquin marshes. The trim, newly painted craft, with her ventilating funnels, round turret-like cabin and im- mense striped awning, which completely shades her fram stem to stern in warm and sunny weather, has almost the appearance of a United States monitor of small ’di- mensigns, an optical delusion which is en- hanced by the racy looking launch that lies alongside, ready to-go on errands of any description. In pleasing eontrast is the bright green of the masses of tules on the banks, against | which the ark is moored, relieved here and there with trees und heavy shrubs. The distant hills, and still further on towering Mount Diablo, on one side, contrast agree- ably with the marshes that stretch away to the distant hills across the bay on the other. The air is almost invariably clear and balmy at this season of the year, and suited to the building up of the strength of a man who has recently passed through such a severe illness as has Governor Budd. At present the passengers and crew of the Polliwog consist of Governor and Mrs. Budd, Miss Todman, the executive secre- tary, and Captain. Malone and Engineer Butler of the Budd launch Hazel, the trim littie craft that is used in towing the cata- maran ark about the waterways, and in keeping the larder supplied with the best that the town that happens to be nearest can provide, and at Black Diamond, near the present resting-place of the Polliwog, are a number. of old residents who know the Governor, and they take delight in fur- nishing his commissary department with the finest chickens and turkeys and the freshest fish. His treatment of all who are fortunate enough to.find or run against the Polliwog is evidence that the Governor has lost none of the characteristics which caused his friends to give him the sobriquet of “Our Jim.” The Governor is nothing if not a sports- man and his devotion to the dEIiggts of the gun and the gentle craft of the angler is evidenced by the brace of rifies and a shotgun which grace the cabin and the! | rod and fly book which find a resting place on the wall. THEY PLEAD NOT GUILTY, Ex-Custom-House Officers Accused of Complicity in Opium Frauds. The charges that were made against Qharles A. Noyes and George Pattison nearly a year ago are to be revived. Noyes was & special inspector under Collector Phelps, and was intrusted with the work of running down smugglers. In this he was very successful, but nevertheless it is now asserted that he was in the ring him- self. Pattison was also a special inspector, and to him was given the supervision of the landing of Chinese. Doubtful cases he investigated, and coolies or merchants were landed or returned to China on his represen- tation. An investigation as to Pattison’s connection with the landing of Chinese was held before United States Commis- sioner Heacock and he was exonerated. He was again accused of being mixed up in opium frauds, but the case never came to trial, as United States District Attorney Knight dismissed the charges. Noyes has never been openly accused of complicity in the frauds, and it is now very doubtful whether the Government has any case against him. The principal witnesses in the case are the Emerald gang of smugglers. George Wichman and Louis Greenwald, who are now serving sentences in San Quentin, and Moses Greenwald, now under indictment for con- spiracy in the forging of Chinese certifi- cates, will all turp State’s evidence. They accuse a well-known attorney and Noves and Pattison of having been in the frauds from their inception. These facts were communicated to the Government soon after the ciaviction of the gang, but United States District At- torney Garter, after investigation, came to the conclusion that the information was unreliable. Since then, however, Special Agent of the Treasury Moore has taken up the matter, and he is satisfied that there is something in the case. He is making a careful examination, and should the testi- mony of the Greenwalds and Wichman be corroborated the arrests will follow. Noyes and Pattison both say that if any crooked work can be found in their official record they are willing to stand trial for it and take the consequences. S Free This Week.
