The musical programme arranged for the Epworth League Convention will be one of its most attractive features. The | committee in charge of that portion of the exercises has spared no trouble or ex- pense in its efforts to secure talent and appliances worthy of the important event. The great pipe organ, which Mrs. Stan- ford has had bullt for Stanford Univer- sity, has been loaned by her to the league for use during the convention, and will be a great attraction for the visitors. This organ will accompany the grand chorus of 2000 voices which has been organized in California for the occasion. Sections of the chorus have been prac- ticing weekly for several months In Los Angeles, Oakland, Fresno, Sacramento, San Jose and in this city. On the after- noon of the day on which the grand con- mass rehearsal in Mechanics’ Pavilion. The music for the meetings and conceris has been selected from the best works of the masters, and when rendered by such a large number of voices, with the accom- the effect | will undoubtedly be most inspiring.

Fadden, while at work In the Bowers Rubbe Factory on Commercial street yesterday, got h left hand caught in the revolving cutter. The hand was badly crushed and it may have to be amputated at the wrist. Padden lives with his parents at 13% Lily avenue. Alaska. He was one of the first settlers of Nome, and is the proprietor of the Dexter saloon. J. B. Harris is a former San Franciscan. He is_one of the owners of the Golden Gate Hotel, which was destroyed in the recent fire. | H. Stevens is a _newspaper reporter and employed on the Nome Gold Digger. Willlam "McPhee, familiarly known as “Bill,” is one of Alaska’s pioneers. Mc- Phee was one of the first settlers of both Dawson .and Nome and is prominent in mining circles of both towns. The City Counfilmen have given public satisfaction ever since they took their seats. The launching of a new govern- ment and the redemption of the town from chaotic lawlessness was a task of no small magnitude, but the Councilmen suc- ceeded in establishing a first rate govern- ment within two weeks after they were | sworn in. L e e o e e e ] FRANGHIGE TAX MUGT BE PAID State Controller Is to Proceed Against Corporation. ‘ The State Controller yesterday directed the Tax Collector to withdraw from sale | the real estate of the California Powder Works, securing the taxes on its fran- chise, which it has neglected to pay. Fol- lowing this action the Attorney General | of the State will sue the corporation for the amount of taxes delinquent on the assessment of its franchise. This is a | procedure which the State rarely resorts to, but which the revenue law recognizes whenever the amount of taxes involved is in excess of $300. As the State, as well as the city and county of San Francisco, is directly interested in the collection of these taxes it will inaugurate the neces- sary legal steps to enforce such collection, The California Powder Works, accord- ing to Assessor Dodge, is the only pri- vate corporation which has removed its office from San Francisco as a result of the assessment on its franchise. Shortly after the assessment last year the cor- poration removed its principal place of business to Contra Costa County. Should the Assessor of that county refuse to as- sess its franchise the State would lose the revenue to be collected therefrom. “I have reason to belleve,” sald Asses- sor Dodge, ‘“‘that the State Board of Equalization will not permit the Assessor | of any county to grossly undervalue for assessment purposes such franchises, thereby diminishing the State revenue which they should yield. All such taxes paid to the State lower the State rate of taxation and thus benefit the taxpayers in all counties. The Assessor of no one county, therefore, should be permitted to deprive other counties of the benefit of such revenue in order that his county may profit in a smaller degree by hig failure to propefly assess such fran- chises. “The California Powder Works, in my opinion, had no just cause for complaint, Ils total assessment in the State of all its property, including the franchise, was i only 44 per cent of the amount for which | the property has been selling in the open | market for more than a year past. The| franchise tax, as fixed by me, if paid by | the company would have reduced the yearly dividends of the stockholders only 25 cents on $12—that is to say, the yearly dividends to these stockholders, who pay | no tax on their stock, would have been | reduced from 312 per yéar on each share of stock to $117. | . EXCHANGE PLAN 15 DEVELOPING Invitations Issued for Men of Business to Join. Membership May Include One Thousand Firms and Individuals. B S President McNear and Secretary Fried- lander of the new Merchants’ Exchange , of San Francisco yesterday addressed a circular letter to persons and firms who would be desirable members of the ex- change, the purpose being to induce them to join. The present membership is re- ported in the circular to be 400. At least 1000 members are desired and the circular sets forth that there is no reason to sup- pose that there will not soon be that num- ber, as the merchants of the city have begun to realize the importance and pos- sibilities of the situation. The payments on the Merchants’ Ex- change property, which has been purchas- | eq for $300,000, have amounted to $200,000, and more than the balance due has been | advanced by a number, of persons and in- stitutions. The benefits that will accrue to the city by reason of the organization of the merchants, shippers and all those who are engaged in the grain, hay, prod- | uce, coal and lumber trades, wholesale and retail mercantile trades, the banks, insurance companies and financial insti- tutions of the city, are stated. The intention is announced of preparing plans immediately for a new and modern | bull@ing on the site of the present Mer- chants’ Exchange building, to be a home for all time for the financial and com- mercial interests of the city, wherein all the different branches of business repre- sented in the exchange can meet. The at- tractions of the exchange, which have not been previously enumerated, will include large and convenient halls and bulletin boards upon which will appear telegraphic reports of the markets of the worid, in- cluding financial reports from America and European countries, shipping news from every port in the world in which the commerce of Sen Francisco is concerned, quotations of the New York stock mar- kets, grain market quotations and grain statistics from all parts of the world; dally quotations of coffee, sugar and cot- ton. here will also be reading rooms, a statistical library and all conveniences for conducting correspondence. The directors have adopted by-laws in which there are several provisions that are of general interest. A committee on trade and commerce is provided for to re- port rules for ihe sale, purchase, trans- ortation and custody of the different ar- icles dealt in by Jle several branches of trade represented in the exchange; to establish relations with similar commer- clal organizations in the United States and other countries to the end that uni- formity of practice may obtain in mat- ters of common interest; to receive sug- gestions of possible benefit to commerce and trade and to report upon them with recommendations. —_— e e ADVERTISEMENTS.
