ONl OVERPAYMENT OF TAXES EVERY COUNTY IS INTERESTED IN THE MATTER. Overcharge Presumed to Come in Col- lection of Money in Excess of Requirements for De- linguency. The information received from Los An- geles yesterday, to the effect that two prominent law firms of this district had propesed to recover for the county a sum of money which they claim is an overpay- ment to the State, arising from settle- ment of collections of State taxes and revenues, excited much curiosity here. An air of mystery has been thrown about the matter from the start. The dispatches from the south were to the ef- fect that no mention is made of the amount’ involved, nor in what connection the overpayment was made. The firms mentioned are Rodgers, Patterson & Slack of this city, and Devlin & Devlin of Sacramento. From neither of them could a direct solution of the matter be “These sults were Instituted by Dev-| lin & Devlin,” sald Van R. Paterson, speaking for his firm yesterday. “They | retained us as their attorneys and with- | out the consent of our clients we could | regarding the | suits, We understand that we are to be made partles.to the contracts signed with | the various counties.” No information was to be had from the Capitol City firm. Robert Devlin is dan- | gerously {ll, while his brother is away | from home. The following outline of the matter, in the prosecution of which the attorneys | agree to bear all expenses of the suit| agalnst. the State for the recovery of money, upon a c ntingent fee of 50 per recovered, has been obtained from a able source: The tax levy for each year instructs | the members of the State Board of Equal- ization to make a levy sufficient to raise | a designated amount for the general| fund, school fund, university fund and | interest and sinking funds. In addition provision is to be made for a certain percentage for delinquen: and cost of collection. In 1851, 1883, 1 1887 and 1889 | this was 12 per cent. In 1891 this was cut| down to 9% per cent, while in 1883, 1895 and | 1897 but 5 per cent was allowed. | The inference is that this percentage | was greatly in excess of the requirements | for the coilection and delinquency, hence | these suits, which will, to all appearances, be filed in every county in the State. State Controller Colgan of Sacramento | does not think there is anything in the| contention of the attorneys in the matter of the State’s obligation for uncollected | commission. He said last night: | “Prior to 1893 a commission was allowed | Chief city, tried at the time to patch up his | the various counties throughout the State the auditing, assessing and coll to the State. The law passed in 18 changed the arrangement and since that time no such commissions have been al- lowed.- I do not think that Los Angeles County has any claim upon the State| for any commissions uncollected prior to 1898. It is improbable that the Audit- ors of that county would fail to hold from their remittances to the State the com- missions due. “It has been my experience that the varfous Auditors throughout the State have in no manner overlooked anything that might by right belong to their re- spective counties. It is improbable that Los Angeles County has been overlooked. Of course, I do not know what the con- tention of the attorneys that be, but I do not believe there exists a right of ac- tion against the State, and shall strenu- ously resist one should it be commenced. Mr. Colgan said he knew of no other obligation that might arise from any source in the course of financlal transac- tions between the counties and the State. Some years ago the firm of Deviin & Devlin made a collection from the State in favor of Sacramento County, bit State Controller Colgan maintains that the claim was made by reason of there being an amount actually due the county for collections made for the State prior to the passage of the law of 1893. The stat- ute referred to by Controller Colgan is chapter VIII of the Statutes of 1893, and reads as follows: Section 1—All commilssion or fees pald by the State to the officers of any county or city and county for services rendered In the assessment, equalization, auditing and collection of ad va- | lorem taxes ‘are hereby abolished. The employment of Rodgers, Paterson & Slack by the Sacramento firm indicates the importance they attach to the suits which they have institutes LEES IS STRIPPED % OF ALL THE GLORY WEBER MURDER REWARD CASE IS FINALLY DECIDED.

HORSE ITEMS ‘FROM HAWAII RUMORED CHANGE OF TRAIN- ERS IN THE B. & W. STABLE. Small Fields of Gallopers at Sara- toga—Danny Maher and “Fa- ther Bill’s’” School of Riding. ‘When Byron C. Holly passed away sud- denly at Butte, Mont., late Wednesday night one of the most famous figures of the American turf was no more. “By” Holly was known on every rage- track from San Francisco to New York, for he had campalgned both runners d trotters within that territory, and IMd won races galore with them during a career as trainer and owner that began along about 1570 in Michigan. Mr. Holly came to Colorado about 1875 and had horses of all kinds In partnership with Jim Carlile, a well known politician of the State of Teller and Tabor. They also bred horses at Pueblo, and had a lease for a time on Hickory Jim, who raced until he ‘was twenty-one years old. Among the an- | imals Mr. Holly brought out to California in the early eighties was Fusillade’s Last, the mother of Fly, Montallade and Hor- ton. He campaigned Ninena, Irish Lass, Sid and other gallopers with considerable | success in the eighties, and drove trot- ters on the California and Montana cir- cuits as well. It was Holly that condi- tioned and developed the trotting stallion ‘Woodnut until he was considered to be | worth $20,000 by Robert Steele of Phila- delphia, who paid that sum to the clever R gt g g g E ad L L T e T T 9 1) PE R RPN R PP RN RO R P PR R R R PR R PP R VR IR P PP VPR PR PP RRE RV RRRR R VR Y PEPVBPRRIPVRPPERPRPRRPRRRY “By"” on his financial feet, and he after- | ward uc(\ulrud and fitted for track work | suth celebrities as Revolve Happy Day, | Sympathetic's Last and El Rayo, and | made a great deal of money with them. For ten years or more this turfman, | who was of gypsy origin, had resided on | a fine ranch at Flosden, just a few miles from Vallejo, Cal., and here he raised his own trotters and runners, among them many that by their racing ability made the veteran horseman better known than | ever. He owned for years Rosette (the | | dam of Acclaim, Royal Flush, Rosie P., | Francesca and others that won good | races), Fusillade’'s Last (dam of Fly, | Montallade and Horton) and Ninena (dam | of Sidney and others). Horton, a crack- | erjack two-year-old, is by his good El | Rayo from the mare he loved so well, | Fusillade’'s Last. | There was a good deal- of sentiment | time of his death, including Horton, Tor- | sion, Charlotte M and imp. Devil's| Dream, and with Lucky Star he had made a consfderable sum this season at Denver and Butte. However, horsemen got to | running the latter up in selling races, and and had it honored, but he had met with | several reverses since that time, and his speculations had not always turned out | well, so that it is doubtful if he died | worth much over a quarter of the sum mentioned. Mr. Holly, who was 5 years of age, leaves a widow and young lady daughter to mourn his loss, and he was as kind as a father to Joe Narvaez, W. Clancy, Bert Hart and Tod Sloan, alt of whom owed their success as riders, at least in part, to the knowledge ““Old Man"” Holly had of the art, and to his ability to impart that knowledge. It was Messrs, Holly and J. H. Shields who gave Tod Sloan his first real opportunity as a horse pilot. That the swarthy, intelligent face of this acknowledged prince of trainers. will be greatly missed wherever the Flosden turfman was known and that his memory will be cherished by a host of horsemen and_racegoers throughout a broad ex- panse of this American country goes without saying. Harry Agnew of Santa Clara County is back from a business trip to the Ha walian Islands. While in kanakaland he sold Loupe, fast pacer by John Seven Oaks, for . When Agnew disposes of his stock farm near San Jose he will re- turn to the islands, and there take up is permanent residence. He says that venus, the Verano mare purchased for $100 by Mr. Cornwall of that country, is considered the fastest mare ever brought down there. She won everything she went after. Venus once belonged to Dow Williams, ruled off the turf some years ago, together with Jerry Chorn, Cheva- lier and “Little Pete.” The Mallard, the big Fellowcharm horse that ran several races over Bay District course three or four years ago, is siring some very handsome colts on the island of Maui, and is held in high esteem. The flelds are uniformly all at Sara- toga. We noticed one day three races where there but three starters, another race with four entries, another With six —the latter the best race of the after- noon.

If this comes about it 1s more than likely Ben Timmons will be McCormick's successor. He has been with Burns & Waterhouse about as long ‘as McCormick, 8 a veteran at the busi- ness and.a very capable man. For years he handled gallopers for J. B. Haggin. Timmons is handling about twenty two- year-olds now of the B. & W, stable at Oakland track. McCormick, who was a jockey In his younger days, Is quite wealthy and, it Is sald, prefers to live in or around New York City, where he has spent most of his life. He has been in recelpt of the salary of a Congress- man sinee he has been With Burns & Wa- terhouse, and just what he will do if he leaves is not known at present. The Cal- ifornia. firm has had as high as sixty- nine horses in active training at one time and the string had to earn about $00,000 er annum to meet stable expenses. IWhile it has won what looked like a large sum to persons that did not stop to con- sider the enormous outlay, it is doubtful if the horses have been a gflylng invest- ment for the owners of the Candelaria mine.
