Mayor Phelan, how made a hot bundle of it, to the d s of the Assessor. A question from his Honor called up that argument over the par- ity and premium of the Market Street bonds. Asked on what basis he had ap- praised the Sutter Str Company, Dodge was cbliged to confess he had figured the bonds at their par value, instead of at their market value, as in e of the Market Street Corpora- had seen fit to change his system of calculation, he lamely an- swered that the secretary of the com- pany had declined to let him see the books. Freidenrich helped him out with the statement that he did not think the bonds of the company were listed. Attorney Kellogg and Engineer Brooks of the Spring Valley Water Company came in to tell why the com- pany’s assessment should be reduced over $2,000,000. Their argument was practically the same as that made on Thursday last; that the board had es- timated the company's taxes when it had no right to subtract from its legal income by allowing a heavy assessment. Dodge and Kellogg indulged in a lengthy argument on the cost of pipe- laying. Questions, well directed, devel oped the fact that Spring Valley had been dealt as kindly by as had the Mar- | ket-street Company. The value of the corporation’s stocks and bonds was found to be $25,000,000, the assessment ‘but $8,000,000, but the figures had been | so cleverly juggled that the board could find no place on which to hang an in- crease in assessment. It gave it up as a thankless task and allowed the as- sessment to stand as it was. b as and Electric Company, assessed at $6,175,612, and the Pacific Gas Improvement Company, with property valued at $2,440,000, were found in the same cleverly accom- plished condition, and were also let alone. The Contra Costa Water Com- pany, with only its corporation papers i this city, was allowed to stand at $750,000, the assessment on its fran- chise. Wells, Fargo & Co., one of the slip- periest tax shirkers in the lot, had got rid of most of its taxable holdings by shipping them out to its branch banks and, although the board was resolved to for once compei that institution to ghare its just portion of the tax burden, It could find nothing more to tax. At the afternoon session the most im- portant matter under consideration was the assessment of the Sutter-street Railway Company. It was understood that this corporation would send repre- sentatives to the board to show cause why the assessed valuation of its prop- erty should not be raised.

A sig: inviting him to rest in peace was tacl on the center pole and one of the buglers was prevailed on to play “tap: Major McGloin did not take kindly to the joke. He thought it was too grave a one to play on an officer of his station. On invitation of members of the Santa Cruz Naval Reserve a party of cadets left camp on Sunday afternoon for a five-mile Tow on one of the reserve’s cutters. The boys went to Capitola, and on landing marched through the town together. The cound of their bugles attracted the atten- tion of the summer residents there and they gave the soldiers and sailors a fit- ting reception. The boat was in charge of Ensign Thomas Armstrong.

He said that he felt sure that the corpora- tion would resent the assessment, carry | the controversy into the courts and per- haps invalidate the entire assessment. | Supervisor Aigeltinger pleaded that the board, in justice to itself, should raise the assessment. His motion did not prevail, however, and there the matter ended. The rest of the afternoon was con- sumed in listening to the appeals of poor property owners, small business men and merchants. In most instances the appeals for relief were granted and many thousands of .dollars were taken off the assessments of these people that had suffered from _ discrimination.

In a short time sheets of flame were rising from the steamer in several places. The city fire brigade was called out, fearing a general conflagration. This danger was averted by an explosion which blew a hole ih the ship's side. She careened and gradually nm«f water and sank. She now lies submerged, only her masts being visible.

BIGAMY CHARGE AGAINST PEYTON Mine Owner Accused by Former Wife. i~ ey AT P AL THE COLONEL SUED FOR HALF OF HIS PROPERTY. % —_— Plaintiff Alleges That She Was De- frauded in the Settlement of a Previous Action She Brought. Sagsis Spectal Dispatch to The Call. SENSATION SPOKANE —A most sensa- tional suit was begun to-day in the Su- perior Court of this county. Colonel I N. Peyton, until recently president of | the Exchange National Bank, owner of the big Peyton block, and identified with a number of big mining companies in the Northwest, is made defendant in an action brought by a former wife now Uving in Denver, Colo. The woman’s name is Helen M. Peyton. She recites how Colonel Peyton came to Spokane under the assumed name of Colonel George H. Morgan and acquired con- siderable property. It is further al- leged “that “he pretended to marry another woman named Victor Hough- ton, and is now unlawfully living and cohabiting with sald woman as his wite."” Allegations of fraud in the settlement of a former action are made against the colonel. Suit is now begun by the for- mer wife to recover half of the prop- erty of the oolonel, the ‘value of which is estimated at over $1,000,000. Colonel Peyton is one of the most prominent men of the Northwest, and | was a heavy stockholder in the Leroi| mine. His wife is a society leader here and the patroness of a big society event —a musicale—to be given to-morrow at the Westminster. Congregational Church. Briefly, the complaint recites that Peyton and the plaintiff were married in February, 1869, at Champaign, I, | {and later moved to Colorado. In 1878 Peyton deserted her and she never saw him again until 1886, when she lea_rned‘ | he was living in this city under the | name of Colonel George H. Morgan. Peyton's change of name is known to old residents, as Peyton to-day owns land in Morgan's addition, which he| platted when he bore that cognomen. Continuing, the complaint says that | under the name of Morgan in 1886 Pey- ton married Miss Houghton, his pres- ent wife. The next month the plaintiff brought sult for a share of the prop- erty Peyton had acquired, and in De- cember Peyton gave her $3000 in notes, saying he owned but $6000 worth of | property. In this, she says, he deceived | her. She asserts he owns mining stock | and real estate in Santa Barbara, Cal. | She asks the court to compel him to | make an accounting and to give her| | half his property and that he be re- quired to pay her alimony pending the | litigation and cash for court costs and attorney's fees. | The complaint was filed late to-night | | and is consequently not generally | known, but it promises to create an even greater sensation than did the suit | between the parties in earlier days, one result of which was that Colonel Mor- gan became Colonel Peyton in name. —_—— WAR CORRESPONDENTS NOW SCORE 071 Continued from First Page. order the correspondents away, some think, appointing a new military com- mander to take charge of the field op-| erations, leaving Otis to perform the work of Governor General and pursu- ing a less strict censorship over the press dispatches. The extreme mili- tary view which is held by at least two members of the Cabinet is that the correspondents should be deported. I have good authority for saying the President has glven serious thought to the appointment of a new commanding general for the military forces in the Philippines when active operations are resumed in the autumn. He feels that there is too much for one man to do. The fact that General Otis underesti- mates the number of men required to cope with the situation has demon- strated that he has not had time to consider properly the real demands of the situation. When Major General Lawton was sent to Manila it was the understanding that he would have con- trol of the military operations under General Otis, while the latter should attend to the duties of Governor Gen- eral. Apparently General Lawton has not been given the authority intended. In applying such a strict censorship to the press dispatches, it can be safely asserted that General Otis has not acted under instructions from Wash- ington. The President has never been in favor of rigid censorship. He wants the truth to be known. Some time ago a newspaper complained to the Presi- dent that its dispatches were being cen- sored too strictly, and the President directed the relief of the censor, and another officer was assigned to duty in his place. Secretary Hay, in spaaking of the “round robin,” thought it not possible to believe that all the officers and per- sons who have returned from the Phil- ippines, and have written to him, are in a conspiracy to lie in support of Gen- eral Otis. Secretary Long said he knew of no dispatches being suppressed, ex- cept those dealing with the plans of campaigns. In military circles some officials de- clare if they were in Otis’ place they would immediately deport the corre- spondents. I learned to-day that Lieutenant Colonel Thompson, chief signal officer at Manila, recently wrote to a friend in Washington, deploflns the strict censorship he was compelle to maintain, and explaining that corre- spondents were compelled to work in- cessantly to obtain facts concerning the movements of troops, etc., yet, under his orders, he was compelled to cut their dispatches. ‘With respect to the alleged minimiza- tion of naval operations, private letters received here indicate that the corre- spondents have had much difficulty in getting reports of naval operations by the censor, and as Colonel Thompson disavows responsibility for this it is presumed that General Otis directed that some of the statements concerning warships be stricken out. Officials of the War Department say that, with the exception of plans of the campaign, every dispatch received from Manila has been made public. They fear now, however, that the “round robin"” will give the impression to the country that Washington has concealed facts which the people should know. This impression may be made use of by anti-imperialists, who have repeatedly declared that the United States has not made much headway in the Philippines, and unless the insur- rection is crushed by the time Congress | and his patients almost invariably gain in weight 10 to 20 pounds in ADVERTISEMENTS.

The general is of the opinion, as was re- cently stated, that General Otis has never had sufficient men, and if he should be sent to Manila there is no doubt that he would ask for strong re- inforcements. NEW YORK, July 17.—Secretary Al- ger is the guest of Vice President Ho- bart at Norman Hurst in Norwood Park. When asked regarding the united protests of the correspondents in Ma- nila against the strict censorship en- forced by Otis, he said: “I came here for rest. I will not be interviewed on any subject. DEWEY SAYS THIS COAST WAS SAFE NEW YORK, July 17.—A Journal cable from ,London says: In the course of a convérsation with a reporter of the Co- lombo (Ceylon) Times, which has just been received here, Admiral Dewey said anent his homeward trip: “My Government has been exceedingly kind and obliging to me in informinz me that I may take whatever route home- ward I wish and take as long as I like about it. The people of San Francisco, who were anxious that I should come home that way, were good enough to think that what I did at Manila saved their coast from being raided by a foreign fleet. But I do not agree with them in that. The Spanish squadron could not have gone so far from Manila. Gladly would I have returned by that route had it been possible. As it is, I will not ar- rive at New York until October.” The admiral declared himself unwilling to discuss the situation in the Philippin=s. He asked the Bfitish view of German ac- quisition of the Caroline Islands. Upon being told that Spain was receiving more than a million pounds sterling and a coal- ing station in the islands as payment he expressed great surprise and exclaimed: “Poor Spain has now nothing left in East- HoOTEL EMPIRE BROADWAY (formerly Boulevard) And 634 STREET, NEW YORK OITY.
