And Dr. Washington Dodge does not glorify himself, in public at least, on i.e ¢ he made every mother's son ‘‘pony up” his little §2 in order that ne might pocket 0 cents, while the city treasury got % cents. But Mayor Pheian has “hefted” Dr. Washington Dodge and found him just the right thing. The gist of the pretty little situation hatis 8o darkly obscured to the publie e is that while display zeal collecting the most universally uetested tax that the laws impose, he felt the spur £ sh thrift to the tune of the s tloned because the law 5 per cent of the poll The law contemplates t about taxes collected that this commission shall pay the cost of collection. Assessor Dodge, however, has chiefly, if not entirely, uged in this work the regular and 1 deputles, whose salaries are paid by city. lhe Wrong of this is apparent when it Is re- rembered that all poll taxes go into the fund. San Francisco he apportionment State school gets 1ck her sha school funds, more than the thrifty Assessor's Asse Dodge's salary bill cputies during the past fiscal year was 3%, the greatest in many years. and more than the average for the pre- SATS. n Section 62 reads: ‘The Assessor, foi vices rendered in the collection of poll axes, shall recelve the sum of fiftee cent; and the collector, for services ren- dered in the collection of poll taxes on the delinquent list, shall receive the sum of twenty-five per cent on all delinquent poll taxes received by him.” Through the State this is understood to mean that this commission shall cover the cost of collection and shall not be a bonus given to salaried officials. Asses- sor Dodge appears to assume that it is s\r‘;n)[h' & reward of merit paid, by _the State for energy in keeping deputies paid by the city at work. ““That per cent is used to pay depu- ties and some of it goes to the Assessor, aid Dr. Dodge's with an avoid- as the law provide hief deputy yesterday ance of details | Salaried deputies have been collecting | poll taxes and employes of the Assessor's | office haven't heard of anybody thera on commission. | It is understood that this has been the practice of former Assessors and that Dodge availed himself of a custom that had been honored before. If he | wanted men to coilect poll taxes at 30| cents a head he could get a regiment in a day. It would be interesting to know how much in salaries San Francisco's $20,287.74, all that it gets out of $10%,490.58, cost the treasury. When the Ass or reports the receipts of poll tax he gives the net 8 per ce t and never says a word about commis- sions. Aasessor Dodge's report for the fiscal year 1S reads: RECEIPTS 608 18 | Tax on personal property (unsecured).ss: Poll tax 17 00 | Totar 318,525 15 | | His report does not contain the word | | “poll tax.” Again, this $2,217 is what he turns over to the Treasurer. It is & F.»r | cent of the total receipts, which were thus | $108,490.58. This $92,217 goes to the State | school fund. The apportionment | Ban Francisco $445.267.6 | $2,044,029, and San Francisco’s portion of | its poll 'taxes is thus $20,287.74, according | to this ratio. It is a little less than 22 per | cent of 8 per cent. Assessor Dodge’s energy in collecting poil taxes is shown by the following rec- | cisco_for five iyears: 1895, $69,367; 1896, | 216; 1897, $72,124; 1898, $73,604; 1899, $62,217 | The average for the four years preceding 1898-99 was $72,077. Dodge's excess of this | average by $20,140 looks like admirable ef- | ficlency until the 15 per cent is figured out to be $16,273.58, or $3564.58 more than the average commissions made by Assessors in the preceding four years. It cost Dodge $112,831.35 to run his office one year, and in this, too, he broke a record, Regular deputies cost as usual,’ about $24,3 Extra deputies cost $79,- 394.86. For the preceding four years the T cost of extra d% uties was as follow 1805, $64.655.59; 1 , $78,977.42; 1897, $74,04 1898, $72,910. How much of this extra cost pald ror poll tax collection?

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Nov. 3. An inquest will be held to-morrow even- ing in the case of C. O. Alexander, who | committed suicide by drowning last night. | In a letter written tb his wife the assist- ant postmaster shows that he had on Wednesday afternoon made up his mind to end his life. In this letter Alexander said that, in vlew of the insinuations and rumors that were being passed around concerning his character, he had decided it was better to leave the scene of his troubles. That there was something wrong with Alexander’s work in the postoffice is not denied by anybody, but it was merely backwardness In clerical work, and all as- sert that there is not a particle of foun- dation for any story that he was short in his acounts. Postmaster Friend has made a very thorough examination of the office and declares that Alexander was never dis- honest. “It is true,” sald Mr. Friend, “that T counted the money in the office quite of- | ten, but that was my duty, and in no way reflected upon Mr. Alexander.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %8 Broadway, Nov. 3. A family skeleton was unveiled at the trial of Jacob G. Schmidt, charged with assaulting his parents-in-law with a deadly weapon, which was commenced before a jury in Judge Hall's court to- day. Schmidt, it appears, called on his ex- wife at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. F. Meinert, in East Oakland, several Sundays ago, in the hope of ef- fecting & reconciliation. But almost on the threshold he met his father-in-law, and one word led to another until Schmidt is sald to have whipped out his revolver and threatened to shoot the top of his | father-in-law’s head off. Among the very first witnesses called was the accused man’s mother-in-law, Mrs. Johanna M. F. Meinert, who testi- fied that when Schmidt married her daughter in 1894 the latter was not of age. “] gave my consent,” continued the wit- | ness, “but I did not know Schmidt as | well then as I do now. After they had been married about two years my daugh- ter secured a divorce on the ground of , failure to provide and infidelity. But she forgave him later; they kissed and made up, and soon married again. About six months ago my daughter was once more compelled to sue for a divorce. She secured a decree, and we have re- fused to allow Schmidt to visit our house ever since, though he has persistently come around, insisting on being admitted, and on one occasion he broke down a door to get into the house. “The last time he called, when I was there, he shoved a revolver under my { cruelt | ington.” 3 Postal Inspector Irwin found the ac- counts correct yesterday when Mr. Friend made his settlement for October at ine | United States Sub-Treasury. The sensa- tional report that Alexander had got | away with a large amount of money is baseless. Senator Stratton, Congressman Metcalf and Senator Perkins, as soon as they heard of Alexander's difficulty with the Postal Inspector, came to his relief and did all they could to disprove the sto- ries that were being circulated on the street, but Alexander was an extremely highstrung and sensitive man and could not live to see himself disgraced. nose and I screamed and ran away for my life.” | The trial will be resumed to-morrow morning. Schmidt, it is said, will take | the witness stand in his own behalf and promises to recite a tale of matrimonial ‘trouhlos and too much mother-in-law.

Earl to foreclose a mortgage given by Earl in September, 1895, for $1500, and on which but $300 has been paid.

Though Earl has since been reported at Los Angeles, nothing au- thentic has been learned of his where- abouts, and his wife is now said to be in quite straitened circumstance: Mrs. Rohrbach’s mortgage covers five lots of the Warner Tract in Brooklyn Township and she asks judgment for $1200 | with interest at 10 jer cent from February 7 last, together with $14 46 taxes paid and $150 for attorney’s fees. e Mary Murphy’s Estate.
