The Market Street Railway Company will lead the long line of corporations that | will march to-day before the Board of | Equalization armed with protests against the assessments A or Dodge has placed upon their holdings. Henry Lynch, | manager, of the Market street system, filed his protest with Chief Clerk Russell at 4 o'clock yesterday afternon. Mr. | Lynch in his petition denies that Assessor Dodge has any right whatsoever, under | the law, to the company’s fran- chise, but at the same time admits that he had by applying for a reduction in- stead of a cancellation. | ed his figures on the com- e at the extremely low fig- | through | 79, | no Mr. Dodge f pany’s franch ure of. $10,047, Mr. Lynch as 019, a reducti The company for a reduction to $6 of $3,568,550. It give: reason for its figures; it quotes no ba or system of calculation by which it ar- rived at them; if simply sa that the county has no right to tax its franchise | anyway, but that out of the sheer good- heartedness that characterizes that ami- able corporation it will stand taxation to the extent it arbitrarily 1 down. Almost as modest are the Spring Valley people. They go farther than the Market | street crowd, in that they back their pro- | test with a reason for it. Spring Valley franchise is assessed at $3,600,000; it wants | these figures reduced to $2.500,000. The pipe line is valued at $3,636.000, which fig- ure it wants pared down to $2,182,000. In| that when the Board of support of its protest it the water rate was fixed by Supervisors the amount of taxes the com- pany would have to pay was figured in | making up the rate schedule, and that the assessments of Mr. Dodge are in excess of that calculation. If Dodge’s figures are allowed to obtain, says the company, the legal income allowed it in the fixed rate will be impaired, consequently they have figured their reduction on a scale to con- | form to the rates established. To-day the banks and the money brok- ers will go before the board to show cause why the assessments on their property should not be placed at a figure some where near commensurate with their as sets. Ten o’clock this morning is fixed as the hour for them to appear, and 10| o'clock will see the representatives of more millions that will appear on the en- | tire assessment roll on hand to convince | the board that they are one and all on thé | verge of bankruptcy, and have merely | ennies where the Assessor says they | ave dollars. | By the resolution adopted by the board on Tuesday évery banking and money- | broking institution in the city has been | summoned to appear. A number of them are already attempting to ward off pos- | sible incréases in thel nents by | applying for reductions in the figures al- | ready established by Assessor Dodge. Of | these the bank of Wells, Fargo & Co., which Mr. Dodge classed as one of the slipperiest customers on his list, has been | first to come to the front. With a sur- | plus of over $10,000.000 on a capital of | $500,000 the bank has the supreme. nerve | to swear that it is worth in assessable | property only $16,039. The modest figures | of Assessor Dodge are based on a taxable valuation of $126.744, but the corporation | s that | The Hibernia Banking A , one of the wealthiest banking institutions in the country, for a reduction in its | assessment of a cool million and a half. ssessor Dodge's figures on the bank’s | taxable assets are as follows: Bonds of | the Market-street Railway Company, $1,- | 127.000; bonds of the Spring Valley Water Works, $258,750; bonds of the Sutter-street Railway Company, $168, bonds of the Powell-street Railway Company, $60,500. Total, $1,615,000. In addition to these the bank's fran- chise is assessed at $5000 and there is a United States check for $121.87 for inter- est due on United States bonds and loans on bonds to the tune of $10,000. President Kelly claims that these assessments are not only excessive, but in a number of cases iilegal in that no deduction was made for bonds held as security on loans. He asks for a reduction from $2,601,377 to | $849,002. | The Pacific Gas and Improvement Com- pany asks only a million off on its as- sessment. Its franchise is valued by the Assessor at $1,579,721. Its entire assess- ment is $2,445,4%0. It wants a reduction to_ $1,445, The Oakland Water Company, assessed $400,000 on its franchise, and the Contra Costa Water Company with a $750,000 as- | sessment want to be cut off the list en- tirely, notwithstanding that their prin- cipal places of business are in this city. A dozen other of the banks of the cily, with bond assessments aggregating $8,- 000,000, filed protests asking that their with diminutive stocks made up the at- tendance at B'nai B'rith Hall Wednesday when the Grocers' Alllance elected its first board of directors. The nine men chosen from the twenty-one candidates were rep- resentative of every class of trade. Two keep bars, seven sell liquor, two are tem- perance grocers, three have small storfs, two have large establishments and tne other four have two or more stores each. The men chosen were John Lackmann, Joseph A. Stuiz, Alexander Irvine, Daniel ¥ Keefo, H. B, Arnold, James West, J. E. A. Helms, Thomas Cluff and J. J. Hayes. The movement is looked upon as of great importance to the trade since the local Grocers’ Alliance is regarded as the forerunner of similar organizations in every large town of the State. Alliances are expected to accomplish a great deal in the way of suppressing deadbeats, ob- taining desirable legislation and correct- ing trade abuses since they will be backed up with the influence of the Associsted ‘Wholesale Grocers, which now includes all the wholesale grocers of this city, Sacra- mento, Marysville, Los Angeles and San Jose. The Grocers’' Alliance of San Francisco was only recently conceived. Tt already numbers nearly members and It is thought will eventually absorb the two present warring factions .of retailers neither of which has been able to ac- complish much since the wholesale gro- cers held aloof from both. The retail gro- cers suffer from many evils which they expect to overcome by combination. The newly elected board of directors is to meet at 4 o’clock this afternoon in the rooms of the Associated Wholesale Gro- cers, at 123 California street. It will then proceed to elect officers and take the necessary steps for beginning active work. ———————— The Peace Commission at The Hague, by Edward Marshall, the fa- mous war correspondent, in next Sun- day’s Call.

SOME OF THE SALOONS WILL HAVE TO CLOSE DISCRIMINATOR KRUTTSCHNITT CARRIES HIS POINT. Southern Pacific Directors Pass an Order Which Makes Their Man- ager a Censor of Morals and Collector of Dimes. Yesterday afternoon the board of direc- tors of the Southern Pacific Company held their regular weekly meeting and definitely settled the matter of the now celebrated liquor order. Notwithstanding the opposition of the few fair-minded members of the board the Huntington push carried the day and succeeded in having the matter placed entirely in the hands of the discriminating Kruttschnitt. This means that, with its usual regard for the wishes of the business community, the Southern Pacific has decided to ignore entirely the protests and petitions which have been presented to it by those mer- chants whose business is affected by the Huntington reformatory order, and will close up as many saloons along its lines as it can without injuring its own re- ceipts. e cuse given that the thirst of its employes makes such an action necessary is not only a reflection on the men who handle its trains, but arrant nonsense, from whatever standpoint it Is viewed. The whole matter is merely another catch-penny device to turn into the al- ready overflowing coffers of the corpora- tion the few dimes that help to make a living g‘osslble to those who conduct the eating houses along the road. Liquor will continue to be sold on the dining and buffet cars and at such saloons along the road as are owned by those whom the company, for one reason or an- other, desires to favor. Trainmen who IOI? for a drink can get it as cheaply and easily as ever. The only people who will derive any benefit from the order are the stockhold- ers whose annual receipts will be swelled in exact proportion to the losses sustained by those who have not sufficient pull to succeed in remaining unmolested. ———— Snapshots at the Chinese in the Fourth of July Parade, in next Sun- day’s Call. | audience, | shal and Charles Carroll as grand secre | McC | drews and F.

According to the ‘statements of persons with whom the deceased was most intimate, money and a valu- able watch may have been the motive for a plot against young Kabish's life. When last seen alive Kabish had both m his possession, was sober, and so far as is known had no possible cause for selt-destruction. He disappeared early on the morning of July 7, and yester- day his corpse was found floating in the bay, decomposed beyond recogni- tion. When the Coroner brought the body to the Morgue a cameo ring with a Greek head and helmet and bearing on the inside the inscription *M. Kabish, S. F., Cal., 1893, remained on one fin- gor. In the clothes of the clerk were found a 10-cent piece, a bunch of keys, a constitution and by-laws of the Lilfenthaler Verein, and a broken watch chain, with the timepiece miss- ing. “Fhe identity of the corpse was estab- lished by the ring and chain; also by the by-laws of the verein, which he had joined but one week previous to his disappearance. H. Larsen, residing at 706 Mason street, was the first to make the identification positive. He stat- ed to the Coroner that a watch should be among the recovered effects. He also said that he had personally purchased a fine gold watch, costing &7, for Kabish some time ago and that the latter had it when last seen by his friends. He further stated that the deceased had money and was to depart for Bureka, where he had secured a position as hotel clerk, a couple of days after the Fourth. When he disappearad his intimates thought he had taken his contemplated trip. Larsen was followed by several other persons, who sub- stantiated his statement and who belleve that their friend has been the vic- tim of foul play. Henry Droge, a grecery clerk at the corner of Post and Jones streéts, was a constant companion to Kabish. He left the latter early on the morn- ing of July 5 in a bowling alley on Ellis street, and at that time Kabish had about $50 in his possession and his gold watch. He was happy and taiked much of his prospective trip. He was never at any time out of money, and Droge laughs at the insinuation that his friend committed suicide. Kabish was last seex in Seeba & Bohlen's saloon, corner of Merchant and Kearny streets, about 1:30 on the morning of July 7. He shook dice with the bartender and paid for the drinks when he lost. He seemed to have money, and according to the bartender's story was never broke and never drank to excess. He was in the habit of dropping in the place about that time every morning and always produced cash. On the occasion of his last visit he had possession of his watcth and was very cheerful. The other witnesses talked with Kabish at intervals on the Fourth and all agree that he had his watch, and so far as they knew money. The theory is that Kabish was foully dealt with, his watch and money taken from him and his body thrown into the bay. There is no known reason why he should commit suicide, and many circumstances point to murder. The police are working on the case. The body is so far in a state of decomposi- tion that it is almost impossible to tell whether or not there are marks of vio- lence on it. Kabigh stopped at the Humboldt House, 1309 Stockton street. peared from there about July 4, and his trunk still remains in the house. @ pald his bills regularly and owes the house nothing. M.
