The presidents of the various sirect rallroads met yesterday morning at the office of the Market-street company and after an exhaustive discussion of the matter decided to allow the half-fare rate to go into effect without making any re- sistance. All the raflroad magnates who were present signlified their approval of the decision, excepting R. F. Morrow, | president of the Sutter-street line, Who refused to commit himself. e remained neutral, neither dissenting mnor approv- ing. The ordinance, hich was passed by the Supervisors in Japuary. is to go into ef- fect on March 30. As yet nothing has been done cither by the city officlals or the rafiroad companies to prepare for garrying it inio operat Considering this and to give time in which to provide tickets, the rallroads requested that the Institution of the half-fare rate be post- poned until April 15. This is the first concession of this na- ture ever granted by the raliroad com- panies in this city. In other large cities of the country the pupils have enjoyed for years the right to travel on the street cars at balf fare. In some localities the right is inserted in the franchise and the rail- rosc company must acquiesce in it before the charter is granted. The fact that this privilege is so universally acknowl- edgzed in the East exerted great influence in inducing the rallroad magnates to grant it_here. in establishing the reduced rates the companies decided that they still retained their legal rights and that hereafter should the concession become burdensome or should more be demanded the consti- tutionality of the ordinance might be tested. A meeting will be held to-morrow morn- ing, when the final preparations for carry- irg the ordinance into execution will be dizcussed. It will then be decided where and from ‘whom the half-fare tickets may be purchased Laborer Has Bad Fall John Fons, an emplove of the Stanley Aerial Navigation Company, sustained se- vere injuries vesterday by a fall from a aging on the ’munal of the company, at the corner of Fell and Baker streets. Fons slipped from the scaffold and struck on his shouiders on the ground, twenty- four feet below. An examination revealed the fact that his collarbone was broken that he was otherwise severely bruised. The injuries were not fatal and cepted as final and the jury discharged. The plaintiff, a pretty miss of 17, told a straightférward story on the witness stand. The impromptu Kissing, according to her testimony, occurred on the evening of July 2, between 6 and 7 o'clock. She was employed in Kohs' bakery at 331 Fourth street. She testified that she had gore into the kitchen to wash a cake knife and that Kol whom she did not know was there, s enly seized her and em- braced and kissed her. The shock and fright made her ill and she had to be sent home in the care of two girls and subse- quently 'she went Into convulsions and was fll for nearly a month. The girl denied indignantly on_cross-examination that she had let any of the men employes DELAWARE COMING They Will Be on Hand at the Second Trial of Mrs. Botkin. e District Attorney Byington recelved a letter yesterday from Attorney General Herbert H. Ward, Wilmington, Del., dated March 23, in which he mentions having re- celved from Attorney General Tircy L. Ford a communication in referenca to the Botkin case. He said he would cause it to be published n the papers of the Siatc s0 as to clear the Etate of California from any_imputation of neglect in the matter. He continues: 1 desire to say to you that T will hold my- #elf in readiness to do everything possible at this“ end of the line to prepare and send to California, under like conditions as at the for- rier trial, any Delaware witnesses whom you may deem necessary to the case of the State Californta.

That was the only “osculatory exercise’ to which the defense got testimony and the plaintiff went on the stand to deny it. The lawyers, A. B. Treadwell and Ly- man I. Mowry for the plaintiff and Otto | tum Suden for the defense, submitted the | case without argument. ° | The jury was composed of the following | nameéd: 1 .3, Copeland, L wrence Daly. M. Josep! A.

Policeman Colen, who is aceused by J. C. Robinson, a recent arrival from the interfor, of returning to him part of the money he’was robb«d of by bunke men in order to keep iim from making any complaint, as told In yesterday's Call, was summoned before Chief of Police Sul- livan yesterday afternoon and eclosely questioned. Colen indignaftly denied that he had passed any money to Robinson. He sald that while patrolling his beat on O'Farrell street he was accosted by Rob- inson, who complained to him that he had becn robbed by bunko men. “‘After listening to his story,” explained the accused policeman, “I started out to find the men. While I was looking for them I again met Robinson and he told me-that half of the amount which they had taken from him Lad been returned to him. 1 asked him to polht out the men to me, but he refused, claiming that he did not want them arrested.” Colen's rtatement is ridiculed by the man who was robhed. He positively de- clares that when hé first reported his loss to him the policeman asked him to meet him in about an hour, at which time, he claimed, he would have the bunko men In custody. Instead of arresting the sharpers Colen, so Robinson claims, went to them and forced them to give him $30; half of the amount that was taken from him. Meeting Robinson for the second time Colen, so it is claimed, handed him the money that was given him by the bunko men to “square the kick.” Robinson says that Colen, after handing him the money, advised him not to report the matter at police headquarters as it O ar Sullivan e making s thar h § 0 % vestigation and if he satisfies hlm“a:ll :f the gullt of Colen he interids to ask the Police Commissioners to dismiss him from the department. * Robinson has The bold robbery of spurred the Chief Lo adopt drastic meas- g:el to rid this city of bunko men. arcely a day passcs that some bucolic stranger is not takeu in by the sharpers and separated from his money.

LIMITS POWERS OF THE ASSESSOR Cannot Order Produc- + tion of Books. 3 —_— May Examine Taxpayer Regarding His Own or Others’ Written Statements, but Here His Authority Ends. Judge Seawell has decided that under the law~as it now stands the Assessor of this city and county is not vested with au- thority to demand the production of books | and cocuments by those taxpayers who | are called to testify regarding statements of taxable property furnished by them or their knowledge of the correctness of statements furnished by others. This de- cisfon, which was reached in the case of the people on the relation of Assessor Dodge against A. B. Caldwell, warehouse owner, is of great importance, for, to a large extent, it permits the placing of tax- | able properties behind the doors of ware- houses and then closes them against ordi- nary processes. Judge Seawell, in delivering his opinion, remarked that, in view of the condition as he found it, the law should be amended 50 as to give the Asgessor greater scope | in bis investigations Into the correctness of taxpayers’ statements. Caldwell was sued for the statutory enalty, as provided by section 3662 of the 'olitical Code, for his alleged refusal to testify and his admitted refusal to fur- ks and documents bearing on maiters contained in his statement to the Asgessor. ¢ As a further ground of action it was | held that the defjndnnl had taken the same stand regarding his knowledge of certain statements furnished the Asses- sor by SBhun Yuen Hing & Co., Sam Sing & Co., Boldstone Bros., the Bowers Rub- ber Company, H. Dutard, the Harry Unna | Company, A. Zellerbach & Sons, Hvl-| brook, Merrill & Stetson: California Safe | Deposit and Trust Company and Kwong | Wah & Co. | The case was elaborately a counsel and submitted on briefs, Though Judge Seawell, in his decision, holds that the Assessor has the right to examine a taxpayer regarding his own or the statements of others, he maintains that questions must be specific, and that the rlfiht to go further and demand books and documents is not conferred by the law upon the Assessor. Judgment was therefore entered for the | defendant. | | MEN WHO SWINDLE OTHERS ARE TAUGHT A LESSON Two of Them Get Three Months Each for Petty Larceny by Trick and Device. Men who prey upon the unwary by means of trick and device were taught a lesson by Judge Cabaniss yesterday. J.f R. Fritz and A. McLane were each con- | victed of petty larceny by trick and de- vice and were sentenced to three months in the County Jall. The case against their | companion, F. L, Carey, was dismissed, as there was not sufficient evidence to convict. ; Joseph Rekar, a baker, living at 1529 Polk street, was the complaining witness, He testified that on Sunday evening, | March 17, he went into the place conduct- ed by the defendants at 425 Dupont street and ‘was induced to play the game of | throwing rings at knives and also at cir- | cles marked blue and white. When the’ three defendants played they always won, | but when Rekar tried it he always lost. He parted with §18, and sdld he would not play any more. They *started to play again and won as before, an ekar, in the hope of winning back his m®ney, tried again, but lost §6 more. ) ‘The Judge, in senténcing Fritz and Mc- Lane, said it was difficult to get sufficient evidence in bunko cases to convict, and although there might be a strong sus- picion of gullt, that was not enough. In | this case, however, It was plain to him | that Rekar had been tricked out of his | money in a most barefaced manner. e | defendants gave notice of appeal to the Superior Court. The cases of Frank Marshall and four others, charged with and larceny by trick and device by playing the ‘plate gflm-" at the CUff House, will be heard y Judge Cabaniss to-day. Their defense will be that they have a license to play the game. e Exposition of Fine Arts. The California Club is now engaged in the preparation of an exposition of the in- dustrial arts, to be held in the gallery of | the Mechanics’ Pavilion next month. It will open April 10 and continue to the 20th. The success attending the exposition held | two years ago encouraged the club to at- | tempt another one gued by | beer is the beer of civiliza- tion. Go to any part of the earth where mankind values purity, and you will find Schlitz beer is the recognized pure beer. For fifty years the Schlitz agencies have followed white men’s conquests. They, are twenty years old in South Africa. Schlitz beer was famous in Siberia before a railroad was thought of. When Japan and China first began to awake, Schlitz beer was advertised in their newspapers. Almost as soon as Dewey captured Manila 216 car- loads of Schlitz were sent there. Today Schlitz agencies so dot the globe that when it is midnight at one it is noon- day at another. The quality by which Schlitz beer has won distinc- tion has been its absolute purity. Every physician the world over will recommend Schlitz, the beer that made Milwaukee famous. R DR e | DR MEYERS & CO. ADVERTISEMENTS.
