California Club notified the board it is ready to resign the use and con- of the playground on Bush street, between Hyde and Larkin, on account of lack of co-operation. The club urged that ;hf d" und be maintained by the board. The resignation of W. T. Plunkett as teacher of the Lincoln Evening School was accepted.

The Boerd of Public Works yesterday awarGed the contract for sweeping the streets in districts one and four to Gray Bros. The City Street Improvement Com- pany’s bid for sweeping streets in districts two and three and sprinkling strects em- braced in districts one and two was ac- cepted. The fact that the checks accom- panying Gray Bros.’ bids were not certi- fied was held by the board to be an imma- terial error, which was subsequently cor- Th rected.

Judge Seawell handed down an opinion yesterday in which he holds that stocks | and bonds of foreign corporations held by residents of this State and located within | the State are taxable. This decision Is of special importance to this city and county. In the action instituted by Jane L. Stan- ford as executrix of the will of the late Leland Stanford to recover $11,145 53 taxes paid under protest on foreign stocks and bonds judgment is ordered entered in fa- vor of the defendant. In the suit brought by John W. Mackay and Richard V. Dey as trustees under the will of the late Theresa Fair to recover $30,262 the court reaches a different and interesting con- clusion, however. The court holds that, though’ the stocks and bonds, claimed by them to be exempt from taxation, are tax- able, as the residence of John W. Mackay, one of the trustees, is outside of this State, the one-half interest of Richard V. Dey, the other trustee, who is a resident of this State, is alone taxable within this | State, and hence judgment in favor of John W. Mackay as trustee for $15,131, | half -the amount sued for, is ordered e | tered. As John W. Mackay is a resident | of half interest as trustee in | the stocks and bonds are, under this de- | clsion, properiy assessable in Nevada. | Speaking about the case yesterday, City | Attorney Lane said: This series of <cecisions marks the end of years and involving the right of the city and county to tax the bgnds and the shares of stock of foreign coroorations. When Theresa Fair died in 1834 she left a large and very valuable estate consisting in part of bonds of Eastern corporations. When the possession of these bonds was disclosed by the filing of the i ory of her estate the Assessor proceeded to_assess them In the next assessment roll. While the test cases were being carried o & final determination a series of new suits were | commenced to save the rights of the estate with respect to the taxes annually levied on its property, and it is these latter cases that have just been decided by Judge Seawell. Out and county to tax the bonds of forelgn scorpo- raticns and the shares of stocks of foreign cor- porations may be sald to have been firmly | established. ~With this litigation concluded I | understand’ that the entire estate of Mrs. Fair will pass from the trustees to the heirs. | It is not anticipated that any further ap- | peals will be taken.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, MAY 23; 1901. THREE NEW FLOATING DOCKS TO BE BUILT IN THIS PORT Agreement Is Reached By Which the Harbor Com- mission Will Construct Necessary Piers. AN FRANCISCO is to have three new floating docks. The business of the port bas grown to such an extent that the present structures cannot eccommodate all the ves- sels, and they have to-take their turns and frequently wait weeks for a chance. The San Francisco Drydock Company has applied to the Harbor Commissioners for whart room, and the board has practically decided to bulld the necessary plers. When the drydock company announced its intention of building the three floating docks If the commission would supply the necessary wharf room the matter was taken under consideration. The bulk of the board’s income is pledged for some time to come, so it was decided that if the contractor who got the job would take part payment in cash and the balance in warrants extending over one, two, three and four years the Commissioners would go on with the work. At vesterday's meeting of the board the drydock com- pany announced that contractors would bid on the work on the board’s terms. Commissioner Herold then moved that the chief engineer prepare plans and esti- mates for the necessary wharves, which will be built near the Arctic Oil Works. The motion was carried and the work will proceed as soon as the preliminaries are completed. A new car ferry slip for the Santa Fe is to be built in" China basin, near the foot of Alameda street. The Panama Railroad Company asked for a permanent wharf for its steamships, and suggested Harrison-street pier. he matter was referred to Commissioner Her- old and Chief Wharfinger Henderson. The Commissioners passed a resolution yesterday which will compel all gasoline launches and schooners to fill their tanks at a wharf remote from the principal plers. Charles Pratt of the Arctic Ofl Works announced that his company was laying a pipeline to the outer end of its wharf and that all vessels using gasoline would be supplied there by meter, thus doing away with the use of oil drums. When Commissioner Kirkpatrick first took his seat in the board he suggested that the State plledriver be no ionger used and that the work done by it be let by contract. After some discussion it was decided to try the experiment for three months. Yesterday bids were opened for the work, and 8: D. caire’s offer of $3 for piles and $5 per 1000 feet for lumber was accepted. The contractor is to have the use of the State’s piledriver and tools free. The committee preparing to receive the National Shooting Bund sent a petition to the Commissioners asking that the elec- trical display on the ferry bullding be al- lowed to remain in place until after July 14. The matter was referred to President Kilburn. Later It was announced that the commission was in favor of making the display permanent. i Eooe Ll PORT CRAWFORD IN LUCK. Recovers Anchor and Chain Worth More Than $800. Captain Swan of the British ship Port | Crawford had a mixture of bad and good |luck yesterday. He had considerable | trouble in recelving a crew, but finally 1 succeeded in filling his list Tuesday even- |ing and was to have sailed yesterday morning for Kurope. When it came to | heaving up the anchor it would not budge, and in consequence the vessel lost the tide. The tug Relief was ready to tow the ship to sea and she made fast to the anchor and finally got it started. When hauled in it was found that about two tons of anchor and chain were fast to the Port Crawford’s mud hook. When this mass of iron is sold it will net the ship more than . The Port Crawford is now hove short and will sail on this morn- ing’s tide. N RE PR Sl A Japanese Try to Escape. The twenty Japanese stowaways who came here on the America Maru made a litigaticn_extending over’a period of several | of the entire litigation the right of the city | Cemmerce, will meet to-morrow afternoon | desperate attempt at escape last night. | They succeeded in some man- {ner in breaking their handcuffs |and were wmaking their way off !lhe wharf when caught by the two night | watchmen. The latter cowed the Japs with their revolvers and held them until | help came, when they were locked up again. —— Tug Ida W Damaged. While moving the steam schooner Aber- deen the tug Ida W was nearly sunk un- der the stern of the whaleback Titania. The latter overhung the end of Missfon- street wharf and was a menace to navi- gation. The tug Sea King lay along the end of the wharf and she also was in the way. As the Ida W was backing out with her tow the flood tide caught her and car- ried _her down on the Sea King. After colliding with the latter vessel she drifted down under the stern of the big collier and nearly lost her deckhouse and smoke- stack. As it was, the deckhouse was shift- ed and the xuys of the smokestack snapped. The deck hand fled from the pilot-house and Captain Dan James had to rush and take his place. The fireman came on deck in a hurry, but Chief En- gineer Poole stuck to his post. The mud- dle was straightened out finally, but the Ida W is on the drydock for repairs. S Subsidized French Ships. For every knot a French ship salls the Government pays her so much as a subsidy to encourage the building up of the French mercantile marine. A few years ago a French vessel was rarely seen in this port; now there are three | loading here, half a dozen are on their way to Europe with California cargoes and sixteen are coming here to load, and this is all due fo the subsidy. How this subsidy works can easily be seen in the case of the French bark Bour- baki. That vessel is now in Limerick, Ire- ‘lflnd. but has been chartered to load | wheat at Portland, Or., for 40 shillings per ton. She will make the run to this coast in ballast, as there is no cargo of- fering, and even then will be able to pay | her owners a big dividend if the round | trip is completed. A vessel of any other nationality would loose big money on | such a venture, but the Bourbaki can af- ford to #ail miles in ballast in order to secure a charter. A large quantity of this year's grain crop will be carried by tramp .steamers. The Imogen, Norwood, Flintshire and five others are now on thelr way to the coast to load wheat for Europe. All of them, however, will bring cargoes from the Orient, so the Bourbaki will hold her pride of place. ‘Water Front Notes. Captain Charles Baring has taken com- mand of the steamship Conemaugh; Cap-, tain Fred Warner, late chief officer of the St. Paul, of the Newsboy; Captain Aps- lund, of the bark Hayden Brown, and Captain Cook, of the gasoline schooner B;rl})}araDHernstgr. 3 3 ohn Desmond, a longshoreman, fell down the hold of the steamship Kambyull vesterday and sustained some severe scalp wounds_and a possible fracture of the sl‘(ull.

Time apparently cannot wither nor cus- tom stale the immense drawing power of “Heartsease.” Henry Miller has been drawing big houses in this popular play at the Columbia and the crowds come and applaud as though this were the first in- stead of the fifth run of the star in this play in this city. The final parformance of “Heartsease”” will be given on Satur- day night. On Monday evening next Mil- ler and his company will be seen in‘ ‘Wilde's brilliant comedy, ‘“The Import- ance of, Being Barnest.” . . . “Barbara Frietchie” is in its last days at the California and is still drawing big houses. On Sunday evening the Neill company will put on ‘Phroso,” a dramatic version of Hope's stirring romantic, novel of the same name. It will be splehdidlv staged and in the hands of the Neill cumn- gany should be one of the best attractions an’ Francisco has ever had. The sale of seats for “‘Phroso” opens at the California box office to-day. s s e ‘The First Born,” in conjunction with “Gloriana,” is doing a splendid business at the Alcazar, in consequence of which the management has decided to continue the bill for another week. After the run of this successful double bill Florence Roberts will inaugurate her regular sum- mer season. Miss Roberts will have the support of White Whittlesey and will pro- duce a number of new and successful plays. . . . The “Toy Maker” is still crowding the Tivoli. Hartman, Miss Myers, Webb and Cumming have all made big hits and the indications are that the charming little opera will have an indefinite run. At the matinee on Saturday each child attending will be given a handsome souvenir toy. R R e Grace Van Studdiford, the beautiful and gifted prima donna; Lew Sully, black face monologist; James O. Barrows and Al Leach and his Three Rosebuds are the top liners on_the splendid Orpheum bill this week. Big houses have testifled to the popularity and drawing powers of these artists. AV “The Queen of Chinatown"” will be con- nued throughout the week at Morosco’s. n Monday evening Melbourne Mac- Dowell begins a limited starring engage- ment:. “Cleopatra” will be MacDowell's first offering.

ADVERTISEMENTS. A TEXAS CONGRESSMAN Recommends Pe-ru-na as a Permanent Cure for Catarrh and as a Grand Tonic CONG. R. C. DeGRAFFENREID e~ FROM TEXAS. S I Congressman R. C. DeGraffenreid. of Longview, Texas, gives his endorsement to Peruna, the great catarrh remedy, in the following letter: Hotel Wellington, Washington, D. C. i The Peruna Madicine Co., Columbus, 0.: Gsntlemen—+‘After the use of Peruna for a short time I am convinced that it is all you claim for it. It is a grand tonic and | can recommend it as a safe and parmanant cure for catarrh.””—R. €. DeGraffenreid. Sore throat has many names. Some call 1t catarrh of the pharynx. It is also called chronic tonsilitis. Follicular pharyngitis is the name that doctors delight to call it, as they generally prefer the longer wofds. Public speakers and preachers are SO prone to have sore throat that it is some- times called preachers’ sore throat. It makes little difference what name we call it—just plain sore throat is hard enough to bear without indulging in any leng names. Chronic sore throat gemer- ally begins by a scratching sensation in the throat, and there may be a little dry- ness or constant desire to keep swallow- ing. Painful swallowing and hawking is sure to come later if nothing is done for it. Sore throat is almost certain, after it has become chronic, to gradually extend downward to the lungs. When this hap- pens consumption is often the result. The time to cure sore throat is in its early stages. A bottle or two of Peruna is sure to put a stop to the whole thing. If Mr. Charles D. Smyth, whose testimo- nial appears here, had used Peruna at the beginning of his trouble he would have been saved vears of sickness caused by neglecting to use Peruna in time. Charles D. Smyth of Angeéls Camp, Cal., says: “Chronie catarrh in the head, nose and throat has been a source of trouble and annoyance to me for more than ten years. I have used all such medicines as came under my notice as a catarrh cure without any help to me except at times by some only a temporary relief, but no cure. X “Peruna s a sure cure. .uere are no substitutes for Peruna.s There are no other remedies that are just as good. In- sist upon having Peruna. Peruna never fails. It is an old, well tried remedy. “My physician, to whom I appued, did not do any better. My troubles became worse and my suffering increased instead of improving. “Loss of appetite, sleep and flesh, be- sides continual coughing and pain, showed too plainly that my case was a desperate one. I lost almost all faith in the so- called catarrh cures, when I read about Peruna, and concluded to try this as a last resort. “Thanks to Dr. Hartman's } now enjoy as good health as I eeor A sleep sou ndly, have excellent appetite and hav- ing gained in } elsht more than I ever did in my life. I have used nine bottles of Peruna and no { other medicine to i cure, mend it to a suf- ¢ fering humanity $afflicted as I have been.” — Charles D. Smyth. No other reme- dy is.so widely known and so 5 & Mumvemlly used or sore throat, coughs, colds, la grippe and a!l other catarrhal diseases.

It treats of the many phases and stages of winter ca- tarrh and their cure. *eecesccsosee. sincerely recom- Charles D.

C., May 22.—The United States rgvenue cutter Grant, Captain To- zier, ran ashore on an uncharted rock in Saanich Inlet this morning, tearing a bad hole in her hull.

The crew gathered together what effects they could and went ashore in Cole Bay in the cutter's boats, where they are camped. Lieutenat Saddier came to this city to get assistance and returned this afterncon with a wrecking outfit. The Grant was on a special mission in that water, presumably to Investigate smuggling.
