T HE SAN FRANCISCO ~ LL, MONDAY, AUGUST 23, 1897 M————"fl NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOODs. WIL JOIN 10 PREVENT A RALNE Citizens and Officials to Appear Before the Equalizers, BEING San Francisco Said to Be Assessed Higher Than Any | Other County. | STATISTI GATHERED. A SPECIAL COMMITTEE IS ACTING. e i ‘ Hearty Approval of “The Call's” Suggestion to Send Prominent ¥ Taxpayers, The suggestion of THE CaLL that a re- presentation of the City’s prominent business men and taxpayers should appear before the Staie Board of Equal zation to prevent a raise in the Ci assessment has struck a responsive chord among the leading men of the City. A number of the municipal officials were in- terviewed on the subject yesterday and almost without exception they indorsed heartily the proposition. Formerly it has been the castom when | the State Board threatened to raise the | assessment of San Francisco for lhe: Mayor, the Assessor and the chairman of | the Finance Committee to appear in be- | half of the City. This year, however, 2 special committee of the Board of Super- visors has the matter in charge and bas already collected data in anticipation of a raise by the State Board. This com- mittee, which consists of Supervisors Clinton, Dodge and Lackmann, will go to Sacramento if the City be cited, accom- vanied probably by Mayor Phelan and Assessor Siebe or one of his deputies. Dr. Dodge could not be seen last night, as he had gone out of town, but both of tue other members of the committee, Supervisors Clinton and Lackmann, strongly favored the sending of a delega- | ti on of taxpayers to Sacramento. Dr. Clinton, the chairman ot the com- mittee of the Board of Supervisors, spoke | strongly in favor of sending a delegation | of prominent business men and taxpayers to appear before the State Board. ““After careful observation and exam- ination,” he said, *‘I wili state positively that San Francisco 18 assessed nigher in proportion than any other county in the Btate. “Property in the rural districts has been | assessed unusualiy low this year. The assessment was, of course, made before | prospects had begun to brighten and | wheat torise. Had the boom in wheat come before this assessment was made the valuations in the various counties wou!d have been very greatly incréased. 1 “Realty in this City is assessed at fully | 65 per cent of its marketvalus and in some partsof the City, notably in the Richmond and Mission districts, even as high «s 80 and 85 per cent. “Meanwhile the committee “has been busy collecting data and before the end of the month a meeting of the committee will probably be called in anticipation of & summons by the State Board. “Undoubtedly a delegation of the busi- ness men and taxpayers should aiso ap- pear before the Siate Equalizers. We made it a point when these men appeared before the local board to request them to make a similar showing before the State board, and they azreed to do so. Among those wWho promised to assist usin this ‘way were, as I remember, representatives of Holbrook, Merrill & Stetson, Sherwood & Bherwood and Mr. Hellman of the Ne- vada Bank. “We will make such a showing,” he concluded, ‘‘tnat the State board cannot consistently make an increase in San Francisco’s assessment.” “Most assuvedly a delegation of the heavy property-holders and taxpayers of the City should accompany the City’s official representatives when they appear before the State board,” said Supervisor | Lackmann. “They should make much the same showing before the State Equalizers that they made before the local board some time ago. At that time many of the taxpayers appeared and produced evi- dence showing that their properiy was fully assessed in proportion to other prop- erty. A number of them stated at the time that they would do so. Among them, I think, were Mr. Stetson, a repre- sentative of Stein, Simon & Co., and A. A. Watkins, who apveared for the Montague Company. Yes, indeed; I think that such a delegation would have a very considerable influence in keeping down the City’s assessment.”” Chairman Rottanzi of the Finance Com- mittee did not believe that the heavy tax- payers should appear before the board. “It would appear that they had come with amerely seltish motive,” he said, “and besides, the equaiizers could pont to a number of glaring inequalities m their | individual assessments. There are many such inequalities in the local assessment. No, the responsibility rests solely upon the shoulders of the committee that has been appointed to look into the matter, and I do not believe that the City's chances would be bettered even by having the Mayorappear before the board.” *‘We have as yet received no intimation that San Francisco would be cited,” said Hugo Herzer, Chief Deputy Assessor, ‘*but the matter, which I understand is under discussion, will probably come to a head in the next two or three days. ‘When the citation does come the As- sessor’s office will be ready to meet it. We have been at work for some weeks prepar- | ing data and we feel that we can make a satisfactory showing as to why the assess- ment should not be raised. “I think it will be a highly advisable thing for a committee of merchants and other large taxpayers to go before the board. I very earnestly indorse the ad- vice given in THE CALL editorially this morning. The way to approach the board is with arguments, not threats and abuse, Th* members of the board would be bereft of human nature if the course I have pro- nounced against did not react against the canse. What is wanted is sound argu- ments and { have always so contended. “When the Supervisors were meeting as | a Board of Equalization they cited a large number of merchants and bankers before them to show cause why their assessments should not be raisel. They came and so | successfully demonstrated that they were paying all that they could in fairne<s be | called upon for that the board made no | increate. I think it would be well if these | men would appear btefore the State Board and present the same arguments. “From our investigations in the Asses- sor's office we are convinced tbat San Francisco pays as much taxes in propor- | pupils of the Agassiz Primary, Columbia | Gray Bros.’ stances more. If the buard tninks we are paying too little it should raise the as- sessment for all the counties.” WAGNER MUSIC TO-NIGHT. Special Attractions st the Fair Every Evening This Week.

Once upon a time, so goes the story, and | it may be confirmed by scrutiny of official records, an employe of W. R. Hearst mote with unpleasant violence the per- son of one Lewis, a course to which the smitten took exception. By entering into more extended detail the story could be drawn out to consider- able length. Enough to say, however, that a contemporary of Mr, Hearst’s paper claimed that many copies of that organ, instead of being printed for regular sub- scribers or chance victims, were merely sold by weight to a mill, there reduced to pulp and rendered temporarily innocuous. It was claimed that these waste papers were weighed by the wagon load on cer- tain scales and the contemporary sought from an employe of the firm owning the scales to ascertain the daily total. Lewis was the employe. He did not yield to the blandishments of the contemporary, but | sought out the representative of Mr. | Hearst and to him described the hardship of withstanding tempta:ion. Whereupon, | so with legal verbiage of unnecessary and | trying length the narrative sets forth, r. Hearsts representative cave the man | a sum of money to to-wit, $40 in good gold. | Bat the seal of secrecy thus set upon | the lips of the man was not effective and | later he realized, as had the defledged | parrot, that he had talked too much. The | jingle of his easily earned eagles reached | ihe ears of his employer and he was | forced 10 return the bribe or reward or | whatever it was. Not only this, but he | was forced to betray the fact that the | compact was shattered—the cat out of the | [ that the knowledge that Mr. Hearst’s bag; | paper was sold by weight was no longer | locked in his bosom, It was at this point the wrath of | Mr. Hearst’s employe got beyond control. Doubling a large fist he launched it into | space and the Lewis countenance stopped |it. The sound of the impact attracted | considerable attention and it was noted | by observers that damage had accrued chiefly to the countenance. Mr. Lewis got out of there as soon as he coula, wiser, however, and openlv indignant. His first step, aftar nursing his bruises to a state of presentableness, was to hle a suit for damages against Mr. Hearst, | naming §50,000 as the fizure. This was | not only the first step, but the last. He is supposed to be ready to take some more, but there are reasons for delay. The gentleman who is in the familiar j role of defendant has a habit of absence. When sued in 8an Francisco he isin New York, which he finds a veritable city of refuge. Li people begin suing him there, where he is understood to have another { amusing paper, there seems no course but { to camp midway. Whenever Mr. Hearst shall venture to California he willin all iikelinood tind Mr. Lewis ready to greet bim and a Deputy Sheriff with some in- teresting documents to serve. With the Riley, Potter and Lewis suits awaiting him at the ferry slip, the editor will have 1o need to comvlain of a lack of welcome. New Lutheran Minister.

She Swallows a Dose of Poison Mized With a Wineglass- ful of Sherry. Claims She Was Betrayed by a Police Court Attorney—She Will Recover. Ada Frierson, a pretty girl, 20 years of age, attempted to commit suicide last night in the Yukon saloon, 25 Turk street, kept by Ed Comyns, an attorney who is #ell known around the police courts. The girl lives in Oakland with her mother, Mrs. M. H. Frierson, at 871 Fil- bert street. According to the stcry she told 1n the Receiving Hospital she met Comyns about two years ago and she met him frequently. She accuses him of be- traying her. She told her mother, who threatened to shoot Comyns, but she begged her to spare his life. ? Last night she went into his saloon, called for a glass of sherry, into which she poured an ounce and a nalf of penny- royal and swallowed the contents. Then she sat down in a room and wrote the fol- lowing letter to her mother, which was found in her pocket. Mrs. M. H. Fricrson, 871 Filbert street—MY DEAR MOTHER: Do not think 1ll of me and do not blame any ope. 1 have fallen; God for- give. Ask him to pity me. I am a broken- hearted, ruined woman, not through any choice of mine, dear mother, believe me. I have hoped up to the Iast minute. I have been the victim of one who does not believe asIdoand think. Itisno harm to deceive a girl by deceotion crowned or surrouaded by the most flattering truths, T ask you all to forgive me. Ihave the most contempt for any one who does as I have. 1 prased night and day that I might be saved rom this step and God has refused to answer my prayer, so I think he thinks tiis is the best step for me. Dear mother, I have not been bad before. Haa I been I could now bear all. To my here- tofore pure mind this disgrace has bronght me to this. I will wait twenty minutes longer, if no help comes to me 1 will no longer be here. 1 wish {f you get my ring to send it and the watch to Rob. Had he been true and protected me this would never have happened. Tell Allie to al- ways be as good as he is now ana tell Fred F. good-by.

Forgive your broken-nearted child. P. 8.—Do not hold Eddy C.responsible for anything. He has been a friend. Murshon and Frierson deserve God's blessing. Give them my love and thanks for this kindness from them. k She also wrote on a card the following note to Comyns: Dear Eddy: You will not pe blamed. Al- though I biame vou I do not wish others to. Hope you will o better. By this time the poison bezan to work and she became unconscious. The ambu- lance was summoned and she was taken to the Receiving Hospital, where Dr. Fitzgibbon applied the usual remedies and expressed the belief that she was out of danger. After recovering conscious- ness she told her story and became hysterical. She Las been engaged to be married to Robert Wilcox, the stepson of a wealthy hardware merchant in Fairmount, Minn., but his stenfather, as she was poor, ob- jocted and Wilcox broke the engagement. She said she believed she had been drugged and betrayed as the result of a conspiracy. BOOM TIMES IN SEATTLE. The 1ush for the Frozen Gold Fields Has Proved a Blessing. James D. Hoge Jr., one of the managing owners of the Post-Intelligencer of Seat- tle, is at present visiting in this City and is n guest at the Palace Hotel. Mr. Hoge is all enthusiam over what the Klonaike gold discoveries have done for will start on a tour of the southern part tion as any other county and in some in- | of the State. The marriage will 1ake place at 8:30 P. M. Seattle, ana declares that it will be the means of bringing a revival oi business even greater than that which character- ized the old boom days. “Why, the outfitting establishments are compelled to keep open day and night in order to even pretend to fill the orders which shower in upon them from the thousands of people who are gatting ready to brave the hardships of the Yuakon country in the search for wealth,” he suid last night. *“The city is so crowded with people, too, tuat we have scarce.y been able to house them all. That's one thing we have lacked for a long time up there— agood hotel. But we have good pros- pects now, for when I leit the reoresenta- tives of a big New York syndicate were there making the preliminary arrange- ments for erecting a palatial hotel. There are also there the vanguard Gf an im- mense Chicago outfitting house for the purpose of «stablishing in Seattle a big branch store. Oh, we are baving hot times up our way now, and you can just rest assured that we are taking advantage of them and making hay while the sun thines.” SHOT THROUGH THE HEAD. A Despondent Man Seeks Solace in Death. Frank (alias G. B.) Snodgrass ended his earthly career yesterday afternoon at a lodging-house, 124 Sixth street, where he had been living. Despondency and being unable to secure work is said to be the cause. From telegrams and pawntickets found on the body it was evident that the de- ceased had been in suaitened circum- stances, and in consequence had contem- plated not only killing himself but also taking the life of his wife. The following letter written by his wife and scribbled over by himself gives an idea of the conditions under which they lived: My Dear Frank: I send your clothes to you; also watch and chain. Now get a room and fix yourself up, and don’t be angry with your Nellie, Iam sorry things are going so wrong, but when I see you this evening things will be all right. Iwill be in the Evans some time before 12 o'clock to-night, witnout fril. And now, remember, I don’t want you to fight me until then. YOUR NELLIE. _ Aithe bottom of this note the follow- ing was added: Darling: I have no work in Redwood City, and Ican’t kill you, as I had planned. Good- by. Remember me when I am gone.

Francis Hearly, s salesman employed by 0’Connor, Moffatt & Co., Who resided at 530 Cole street, died at the Lurline baths yester- day afternoon from heart disease, Hearly, who was & man about 31 years of age, had not been in the best of health for several months prior to his death. Yesterday he went to the barns and obtained a room. He did not come out of the room in the time required and on investigation he was found on tue floor dead. His body was removed to the Morgue. — e ‘We wear away two inches of shoe- leatherin a year.

Fruit, Wool, Cattle and Field Products Hold Firm Prices. An Upward Trend in the Val- ues of California Staples. Dealers in Agricultural Produce Are Happy and Growers Are Re- joiced. There is great satisfaction in commer- cial circies over the prospect for a good market in many of the stapie products of California soil. A careful inquiry shows that there are fine indications n the frait market, while almonds and walnuts will afford an encouraging field for the year. In all lines it is evident that the great adyance in prices wilt net a great benefit to the farmer. It is estimated by the United States Secretary of Agriculture that a billion doliars will be distributed to the farmers of the United States this year as a result of the advanced prices made by the tariff. Firm prices already prevail in wheat, corn, cattle, potatoes, sheep, swine and wool. The outlook in the local fruit and nut trade is particularly encouraging. Speak- ing of the matter yesterday, Hugo Roth- schild sai The tariff has.made the outlook for California particularly bright in the almond trade. The tariff on foreign almonds has greatly stimulated the de- mand for the California product, ana the prices are already going up. *“‘Prices are now firm, and in spite of a great increase in the acreage the chances are that the supply will not nearly equal the demand. Thousands upon thousands of young trees are just coming into baar- ing, but the demand will be so great be- fore the year is over that the new trees will cut an almost imperceptible figure in the market. In regerd to walnuts, we must say that the crop will not be so large this year as it was last. There will, however, be more walnuts shipped East this year than ever before. The chances are there wiil be a very good advance in price. It is very piain to be seen to any one who will study the question from a practical way that the tariif on_the prod- ucts of California orchards will cause a great deal of prosperily among the pro- ducers. Therc has never been a better prospect for those in these lines than now.” The same was the tone of Luka Sreso- vich, the well-known fruit merchant. He sees signs of prosperity in the fiuit situa- tion, and has just returned from a trip to the country, where he found the growers hopeiul and the crops large. He said: “I have seen excellent prospects wherever 1 have been. I have been in the country, and the prospects for cropsof all kinds are good. This is especially trueof the country about Paso Robles. In almost all parts of the State many young trees are coming into bearing and there is everything 1o make the jarmer happy. In many ways the general prosperity of the country will aia the farmer and fruit- dealer.” Thomas Dennigan, the well-known wool merchant, is happy over prospects in that line, as is Harry Wise, the well- known Democrat, who was cured of his iree-trade ideas after Cleveland had ruined wocl by his free-trade policy. Speaking of the wool situation yester- day Mr. Denigan said: “The market is good and the prospects for the future are more than favorable. Domestics are stead- ily improving all the time. The tariff ot 11 and 12 cents a pound is working like a charm. Anticipating the rise of prices manufacturers in the KEast bought up laree amounts of wool last spring, but the prices will steadily advance and by next vear I look for a far better rate than the one now prevailing. By spring I think we will begin to realize quite fully the good effects of the new tariff. You may say in a general way that the wool men are happy, for they s.e good prospects ahead and they realize even now a better market. The sky looks clear and there is no cloud on the horizon.”” A HOBRIBLE GASH, Tim Thornton Arrested for Slashing Edward Harrington Across the Face With a Razor. Eiward Harrington, a young man liv- ing at 522 Folsom street, presented a hor. rible appearance at the Receiving Hospi- tal early yesterday morning. He was covered with blood and there was a gash on his face extending from his right to his left cheek and down almost to his chin. The lower part of his nose was dangling as if by a thread. It took Dr. Bunnell considerable time to dress the wounds, and Harrington will bear the scars as iong as he lives. He said that he and some others were drinking in the honse and a fight was started. Oue of the men was Tim Thorn- ton, and Harrington said that Tim drew a razor across his face. Tim was arrested and taken to the City Prison, where a charge of assault to murder was booked against him. Tim as an adept in the use of the razor for slashing purposes has no equal in the City. He has for years been in any num- ber of cutting scrapes on the Barvary Coast and south of Market street. Once he plunged a knife into a man’s side in a saloon on Kearny and Jack<on streets be- cause he refused to zive him a drink, and was sent to San Quentin for two years. SUNDAY SWEARING. A Little Incident Connected With the Postal Service Caused Profamity. Some expressicns, more human than di- vine, were uttered at Postoffice Station K, Palace Hotel, yesterday afternoon by citi- zens who went there to get their Sunday mail. They were informed thst the mail would be delivered at the ferry station, and their attention was directed to the following notice tacked on the door: All mail formerly delivered from this office will hereafter be deliverea from Station D, foot o1 Market street. Yersons desiring to receive their mail on Sundays can call for it at Station D betwen 2 and 3'p. M. After giving vent to their sentiments in highly spiced language the seekers of mail went to the foot of Market street. —————— Miner’s Sudden Denth.
