Y CANALS EXEMPT FROM TRXATION Supreme Court Decision Won by Reclama- tion Districts. Special Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, Nov. 11.—The Supreme Court, which opened its November term in this city to-day, handed down a deci- sion this afternoon of great moment to the many reclamation districts in this State. It is to the effect that the prov- erty of the reclamation districts is ex- empt from taxation by countles. The original action was brought by Reclamation District 551 against the county of Sacramento to recover money d under protest for taxes levied and essed by the county upon the property strict, It was the contention of the county that the constitution exempted from taxation only public schools and property of the Federal, State, municipa! and county governments; that the prop- erty of reclamation districts was none of these, and therefore should be taxed. The Supreme Court, however, declares that the whole scheme of reclamation originated with the State and is encour- aged in furtherance of public policy. The court observes that the trustees have no which they can apply to pay and State taxes levied and as- upon the works of the district, and they have no power to levy assessments to raise money for any such purpose. To allow the county to assess the canals, ditches, drains, embankments, pumping plants, etc., for general taxation purposes, .\ln)'s the c?I!rt. lmight lead to the aban- donment of an important undert the State. e The most valuable fruit land in Sacra- mento County is contained in the down- river reclamation districts.

Nothing was secured from the other place. These burglaries make four which have been done on recent dates evidently by the same person. Minor thefts have been numerous. The authorities fear a series of crimes this winter, as the town force of peace officers is inadequate. A Marshal and two deputies only are allowed by the city government, and as these men are on duty during the day a night patrol is im- possible except In special cases. The busi- ness and some residence districts have night watchmen, but a large majority of the wealthy homes are without police protection whatever after dark. W. D. Holcom's residence at 2523 Hille- gass avenue was entered by a burglar last night. The thief made his way to the room where Mr. Holcom was sleeping and carried two pairs of his trousers out of doors, securing $40 from the pockets of one. The thief entered F. H. Huddart's place, a few blocks south, and carried two pairs of pants from rooms where men were sleeping and took them to the back porch, but found nothing of value in the pockets. The garments were left. A pants thief recentl: urr;ted in San Francisco in the same fashion, and before that kept the police of San Jose busy. — e PRINCETON’S OFFER 7 HELD IN ABEYANCE BERKELEY, Nov, 11.—No definite ac- tion was taken to-day by the executive committee of the student body on Prince- ton’s offer to play the California eleven or a team composed of undergraduates and alumni.

On ‘Wednesday the committee will meet again and an answer will be sent to Princeton. ‘Although the offer of the New Jersey university makes it allowable for alumni to play the executive committee is op- posed to_any but undergraduates com- peting. The members believe that the men who defeated Stanford sh go on the field again as the representative Cali- fornia team. L —— 1 — e ¥ Jr. will sing.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1] 1118 Broadway, Nov. 11. That she might not be separated from her soldier sweetheart, Eugenia Montejo, a pretty girl of 17 years, jumped from a car window of the Los Angeles express at Sixteenth-street station last night, fled with her waiting hero, Oscar Harland, a veteran of the Spanish war, and eluded pursuit until this morning, when the po- lice took the young lady and her lover into custody. . The daring escape of the girl was the result of an attempt on_her mother’s part EASTERN AGENTS VISIT ORCHARDS Redlands and Riverside Entertain the Rail- way Men. Travelers Arrive in Los An- geles After a Trip Full of Interast. Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Nov. 11L.—The special train bearing the delegates to the twenty- ninth annual convention of the American Association of Traveling Passenger Agents arrived here this evening. There were 260 delegates from all parts of the United. States, and they will reinforce the large army of raflroad men who had al- ready arrived. The Easterners report that they have had a splendid time on their trip out to the coast. This morning they were enter- tained in Redlands, Taily-ho coaches and private conveyances were at the station to meet them and they were driven around the town. They were shown the beautiful orange orchards, I with fruit, and at tne close of the drive were entertained at luncheon. In Riverside so they were taken for a drive. H. T. s acted as president of the reception committee. After being driven around Riverside the Kasteru railroad men could not fully express their appreciation of California hospitality. The convention will open to-morrow morning at 9 o'clock. The most impor- tant topics discussed at present are the election of offfcers and the selection of the place for the next meeting. For pres- ident Thomas E. Fitzgeraid, traveling passenger agent of the Texas and Pacific, and John C. Blair of Boston, New Eng- land agent of the Illinois Central, are running a close race. Fitzgerald Is very popular with railroad men, and the great work he has done in forming plans for the entertainmient of his brother agents on the coast gives him a shade the bet- ter of it in the contest for the important position. Sidney Van Dusen, who has been secre- tary and treasurer of the association for the past two years, will resign. It is al- most certain that T. W. Tandman of De- troit, traveling passenger agent of the Hocking Vailey Rallroad, will succeed him. Buffalo and Philadelphia both want the convention next year. It is a hard fight, but at present looks as though it will go to_the latter city. While the convention is being held to- morrow the ladies of the party will take ionde on the Scenic Railway to Mount we. Contests His Mother’s Will. OAKLAND, Nov. 1l.—Dissatisfled wita a bequest of 37000, of which he was to re- ceive only the income, Charles Stenzel of San Francisco has filed a contest of the will of Mrs. Emilie Stenzel of San Loren- 2o, his deceased mother. The estate 's worth $44,000. The contestant’s brothers, Fritz and Henry, received the bulk of the property. The will, thé contesting son alleges, is unfair, and he also claims his mother was of unsound mind when the instrument was made. —————————— ‘War Declared Off. A proclamation was posted in China- town last night declaring that the war which has been in progress between the Wong and the Chin familles has been de- clared off. The proclamation, however, does not bear the stamp of either of the warring factions, but it is signed by the Chinese Merchants' Association. The po- lice think that hostilities may be re- opened. et it UES FOR VALUE OF OLD BOND.—Jane E. Meyers is suing Drury Melone for $§1000, with Interest at the rate of 10 per cent per ennum, the value of a bond issued by the eity of Placerville in 1368 to the Placerville ard Sacramento Valley Railroad Company. which she alleges Melone obtained from her to enable him to collect the value of a num- ber of like bonds, and which she alleges he converted to his own use. with a former soldier, whom Miss Montejo had knewn and admired since his return from the Philippines. It was decided by Mrs. Montejo that her daughter should be, taken to the home of her grandmother at Coalinga. Everything was carefully ar- ranged lest the ex-soldier should learn of the propesed move. But the girl managed to apprise her admirer, and he was on hand in due time to assist in blocking the old folks’ plans. Last evening the grandmother mother called a carriage and left Montejo residence, at Seventh and Mar- ket streets, for the depot. The party ar- rived at Sixteenth-street station just in time to catch the train. Harland, hidden away behind the station, saw his sweet- heart board the train under the watch- ful eyes of her guardians. He despaired of seeing her agaln. when suddenly, as the train was slowly leaving the station, the girl raised the window at her seat, plunged through and made her escape. The train was stopped and the mother and grandmother pursued, but not until to-day was the couple's hiding place found. 2 Upon the showing that the runaway girl was under legal age, Chief Hodgkins toos charge of the case. Harland was detained at the City Prison, ‘and Miss Montejo ana her relatives had a long conference. The young woman insisted upon being per- mitted to wed her soldier lover, and he was only too delighted. After a few hours’ imprisonment Harland was freed, and a wedding will shortly follow as a result of the girl's escapade of last night.
