THIS T0 HIE B BEVOLIE Supposd Slayer of Wong Get Is Arrested by Detective. Jung Fook, alias Quang Sow, one of the | notorious gun fighters of the Ping Kong Tong, was arrested yesterday by Detec- tive Ed Gibson on suspicion of being the | murderer of Wong Get, who was shot and killed on Commercial street, above Kear- ny, several days ago. Although the pris- oner denies his gullt, Gibson is satisfied that he is the right man. Since the killing Fook has been in hid- ing. Yesterday afternoon he ventured out and was espied by Gibson, who was walk- ing along Clay street, near Dupont. As soon as he caught sight of the detective Fook ran into a store and attempted to hide a 45-caliber Colt’s pistol which was concealed in his blouse. Gibson grabbed him as he was in the act of placing the revolver under a pile of overalls. Fook started to show fight, but was soon ov powered and taken to the City Prison, where his name was registered on tk swall book. Efforts will be made to-d: to have him identified by the several white men who witnessed the shooting of Wong Get. An Inviting Excursion.

W. Yerkes, Commissioner of Internal | Revenue, has rendered a decision that will affect the banks of the Pacific Coast | to the extent of several million dollars, | which they will be required to pay as in- ternal revenue tax on undivided profits. In February, 1899, the United States At- torney General held that undivided profi differ from surplus and should not be taxed. Under this opinion the Treasmiy Department refunded a large amount to the banks. Commissioner J. W. Yerkes has just notified Collector Lynch that the depart- ment has decided to again collect the | | tax on undivided profits. "To some banits | this change in ruling will make a differ- ence of thousands of dollars each year. | The full decision is as follows: The act of June 13, 1898, and the act of March 2, 1901, provide that bankers using or | employing a capital not exceeding $25,000 shall | | pay $50; when using or employing a capital | exceeding $25,000, for every additional $1000 | in excess of $25,000, §2; and in estimating cap- | ital surplus shail be included. | ie law defines a banker and describes the | business of banking. The law provides that | bankers shall pay tax on the capital employed | 4. e, employed in the business of banking), | 20d that in estimating capital surplus shall bé | = This office holds that capital 1is taxable whether Invested, as in the case of the United States bonds or the bank building, or circulat- ing, as in the case of money, including money borrowed, also surplus including undivided profits. In providing that surplus shall be included as | capital it is obviously the purpose of the law | to have the tax imposed apply to all money used or employed by banks as capital in carry- | ing on their business. i | . Money borrowed by banks, and used as cap- | ital, is held to be taxable and it is clearly no less liable to tax because of the fact that it is | borrowed by a bank from its own undivided | profits. | The fact that surplus so used consists wholly or in part of undivided profits, or that such | undivided profits have or have not been form- | ally set apart for such use, seems wholly im- | material so far as the purpose of the act is concerned. It is the use and not the authority | to use that brings such profits within the tax- ing provisions of this act. l Banks should, therefore, return for taxation | the capital, the surplus fund, their undivided profits or other profit and loss account, except 50 much thereof as may be actually necessary and has been set apart to meet ascertained lia- abilities and losses, or to pay dividends act- ually declared by the directors of the bank, to pay taxes, or to pay fixed annual charges, such @s salaries and other necessary annual ex- penses, The opinion of this office is that “‘capital and rplus” include all funds employed by the bank in the business of banking, and that nat- grally and in the ordinary course of banking business are so employed, excluding only such funds which, though temporarily used by the bank, are of necessity withdrawn from the banking business through the payments of divi- dends, taxes, ascertained losses or fixed charges of whatever character. Any decision of this office at variance with the above is hereby rescinded. 1. W. Hellman Jr. in discussing the dc- cision last evening said: Last year the Commissioner of Internal Rev- enue decided that the banks need only pay taxes on their capital and as much of their surplus as was made necessary by the law. | That beyond that point they would not have to pay national bank taxes. This decision pro- vides that not only will they have to pay taxes on thelr capital and their entire surplus, but also on their entire undivided profits—that iz, on all their profits that have not been di- vided dmong their stockholders. It will make a great difference to many banks, because it has become customary among larger institutions to retain their surplus profits in & fund known as undivided profits, In a great many cases the undivided profits of the banks are as large as the combined cap- ital and surnlus. This decision will affect every bank on this coast to the extent of $15,000 to $20,000 a year. — ST T m The Best Fountain Pens.

DECREES THAT RAILROAD MEN SHALL ATTEND TO BUSINESS President Harriman of the Southern Pacific- Company Enforces Order That. Salaried. Officers of Corporation Must Surrender Outside Employment---Herrin to Close the Political Bureau H. HARRIMAN, the Southern Pacific Com pany, is coming to Cali- O fornia as soon as he can de- tach himself from business af- fairs of importance in the East. He is taking an active interest in everything that directly concerns the corporation over which he presides, and he derives much information of value from the-as- sistant to the president, Julius Krutt- schnitt. Mr. Harriman is much better posted concerning affairs in California than is fancied by most people, although it is his purpose to acquire additional in- formation by a personal visit to San Francisco. He said to W. H. Crocker in New York a few days ago that he was making arrangements for an early trip to California. He hopes to arrive here the latter part of April. H. E. Huntington and W. F. Herrin are in New York at the present time, but they are scheduled to leave there for San Francisco next Tues- day. lgresldenl Harriman has resolved that men occupying responsible positions in the service of the company and who draw large salaries from the treasury of the corporation shall in the future apply themselves strictly to the business of the railroad. If they cannot conform to the proclaimed by the president they will be expected to resign. The business of the corporation has been complicated by side issues, such as affairs of the Market-street Railway, the Pacific Improvement Company and the land and the business of the late magnates. The paymaster’s office of the company has for many years been a sort of clearing house for the magnates and the heirs and suc- cessors of the four railway kings who reigned so long in California. Remnants of 0ld Complications. Some of the old complications remain, having been tightly fastened on the par- ent corporation by a long period of adhe- slon and cohesion. Mr. Harriman is firm in his determina- tion that the company’s men shall get out of machine politics and keep out or look elsewhere for employment. He has been advised by practical and capable railway men—the experts who make a study of transportation and the revenues to be de- rived from railway investments—that past president of :)ROPRIETOR OF A SHOOTING GALLERY ON DUPONT STREET FOULLY TURDERED Adolph Oppenheimer, Who Was the Principal Witness in the Dur- rant Case, Victim of a Mysterious Assassin. DOLPH OPPENHEIMER, who was one of the principal witness- es against Theodore Durrant, hanged for the brutal murder of Blanche Lamont, was mysterious- ly shot and killed late last night in a shooting gallery which he had conducted at 416 Dupont street. Robbery was the motive. He was shot from behind, the bullet entering the small of the back and causing instant -death. Oppenheimer was alone in the gallery when he was assassinated. Morris, his 16-year-old son, was in his room over the gallery, when he heard a noise down- stairs and at once started an investiga- tion. On entering the gallery he found the body of his murdered parent lying ins ounter. e ing that nis parent was dead, he went upstairs and excitedly informed his mother of what had happened. After taking a hurried look at her dead hus- band Mrs. Oppenheimer, thinking that life eas not extinct, ran to- the office of Dr. Rels, which is only a short distance away, and asked him to go with her to the gal- lery. Upon examining the body the med- ical man, not noticing the bullet hole in the back, gave it as his opinion that death was due to apoplexy. Police Offi- cer Brady, who was present, so reported to_the Coroner. Shortly afterward Deputy Coroner Mc- Cormick reached the scene. He thorough- 1y examined the body and found the cause of death—a bullet hole in the back made by a 32-caliber pistol. McCormick at once notified the police and detectives were dispatched to make a thorough in- vestigation. That robbery was the motive was shown by the fact that a cigar box con- faining about $8, which represented the day's receipts, was missing, it having been taken by the murderer. Missing Cigar-Box Contained $8. Mrs. Oppenheimer says that she knows the box contained at least $8, as her hus- | “nl.nnsement of rallroad affairs in Call- ornia has had a tendency to provoke pub- lic irritation. Moreover the management has been costly and cumbersome. It was found after careful inquiry that many of the employes were in the oil business, quite a number were engaged in large landed enterprises, while others were using the law department to transact business in which the company was not interested. It was ascertained that the credit, the prestige and the clerical force of the corporation had been used to vance'individual interests. In several in- stances the use of the clerical force of the company and the accommodations ex- tended for office convenience did not amount to acts of impropriety, but the custom was not business like. Tax Payments and Politics. For example E. Black Ryan, who is recognized as one of the most capable and successful tax attorneys of the State, is in the enjoyment of a large private or semi-official” practice which happens to join closely with the company’s business of the same character. In olden days Stanford, Crocker, Huntington and Hop- kins expected Mr. Ryan to look after land taxes and titles. Through the successive changes in the railway management he has continued the outside tax business at the same old stand in the company’s office. President Harriman has now given out the word that employes must attend to the company’s business and that alone. Perhaps Mr. Ryan has not heard officially of this order, but he will be fully ap- prised of the fact in due time. General Manager Kruttschnitt has doubtless informed the new president that the law office of the Southern Pacific in San Francisco is a sort of political ren- dezvous, where Republican and Demo- cratic politiclans of the machine type congregate at election times to receive orders from W. F. Herrin. Apart from politics and railroading the company’s chief lawyer is the attorney for the Spring Valley Water Works. He is in gosltlon to employ the political prestige of the rail- way corperation to assist the water com- pany in its annual adjustment of rates. Favor of the High Court. . There was an epoch in California when Judges of the Supreme and Superior courts looked to the railway corporation for favor in the nominating convention. Blg clients got the impression that a 1aw- band had told her early in the evening of the amount in the receptable. The pistol which the murderer used was the property of Oppenheimer and was used by him in the shooting gallery. From their investigation the detectives who are working on the case are satisfied that the murderer went into the gallery and pretended to be anxious to try his hand at shooting at the inanimate tar- gets. As Oppenheimer faced the targets, with his back turned to the murderer, he was shot, dying, presumably, instantly. A few minutes after the fatal shot had been fired three soldlers entered the place and, seeing Oppenheimer lying on the floor with his face downward, concluded that he was asleep. Falling to awaken him by calling to him, they helped them- selves to pistols and blazed away at the targets. Oppenheimer formerly kept a pawn shop, and it was at his place that Durrant pawned some jewelry which he had stolen from Blanche Lamont after he had foully murdered her. The identifica- tion of Durrant as the man who had pawned the dead girl's jewelry was one of the strongest links in’the chain of evi- dence against him. Morris Oppenheimer, the 16-year-old son of the murdered man, said: I was sitting upstairs shortly before mid- night when I heard a single shot. Almost sim- ultaneously with the shot I heard a low moan and a fall. I did not think this very strange, for frequently at that hour drunken strag- glers come into the gallery ‘broke” and be- fore they have a chance to shoot any more than one shot without paylng my father gen- erally takes the pistol away from them. Then again very often they got to quarrelling among - themselves and throw one another down, 0 I did not bother to go downstairs un- til 1 heard four or five men come in below and say, ‘‘Oh, you're asleep, eh! Well, we'll Ehoot anyway,” or words o that effect. Then I knew there was something Wrong. Does Not Think Robbery Was Motive I went downstairs quickly and found the soldiers still there, and my father was lying in the corner behind the counter, close to the north wall of the gallery.

Consul- yer who happened to be closely associated with the raliroad would be just the right kind of a lawyer to handle questions of law involving the settlement of disputes in court arising from the distribution of princely estates. W. F. Herrin, the rail- road’s chief counsel, has had many of the rich outside plums. The Call does not in- timate that President Harriman Is so nar— row in his views of life, and_especially life in the great and growing West, that he would Trestrict every lawyer to one client, but The Call recelves positive In- formation that Mr. Harriman wants the law business of the company attended to by a lawyer who can give all his time and attention to that business. It is the presi- dent's impression that lawyers ought not | to be overworked or overrated. He holds that the businss of the company {is so vast, so varied and important that the ex- clusive services of one lawyer are de- manded to direct it. If Mr, Herrin can- not afford to surrender a lucrative out- side practice in order to give his whole time to the company’s affairs he will be readily accorded the privilege of looking to some place other than the corporation’s | treasury for compensation for his iegal talents. In the field of politics the chief counsel's career is checkered by a lcng chain of reverses, hence it is claimed that | Harriman sees neither glory nor gain by | the interference of the railroad in the | political affairs of this State. Herrin 18 | at present in New York. The president called him there for consultation and when he returns he will bear with him the new decree that the officers and em- ployes of the Southern Pacific must work exclusively for the railroad. The Pacific Improvement Company now has its offices in the Crocker building. General Hubbard owns half the stock of the company, having recently purchased for three million dollars the one-quarter in- terest known as the Huntington holdings. Hereafter all the business of this side corporation must be conducted by its own employes. The pay offices and the cleri- cal force of the railway corporation will not be used as of old for the convenience cf_the Pacific Improvement Company. The Market-street Railway_still uses 15 some extent the Southern Pacific’s pay department in payments for salaries, sup- plies and claim adjustments. The new order would be immediately applied to the Market-street Company if it were not ser- tled that the change of base desired is soon to take place. murder or that he had been shot. I thought that he had fainted, so I ran upstairsand woke | my mother and then ran down to Bavles' drug | store and summoned Dr. Relss. = The doctor came and pronounced the case one of apoplexy. | As soon as the deputy corone urned my | father's body over and discovered at he was | £hot in the back I knew that foul murder had | been_dore. | 1 believe that my father was murdered by people who have been persecuting us on ac- count of our religion and success In business. | I will not speak of my suspicions now. I want | to be sure first before I make any charges. I | don’t think robbery was the motive. Perhaps | the soldlers who came in after the murderer | left took the money, thinking my father was | sleep. From their conversation, which I could hear | very distinctly upstairs, ‘T would not think | that they had any hand in it or even knew that my father was lying there dead. After the | soldiers shot the six shots they sald, ‘‘Well, | come on, let's go,”’ but when I came down- | stairs they were still there, or, at least, that is my impression. I was excited, however, | and may be mistaken about that. If they were | not there, then they came back immediately after. I am positive that after firing the shots the men sald, ‘““Well, come on, let's go."" Policeman Brady was called to the scere soon after the finding of Oppenheimer's | body.

The trial of James M. Dunphy for the murder of Edward Stanton on September 27 last was resumed in Judge Coak's court yesterday. Thomas E. Cohen, pro- prietor of a cigar store at Sixth and Min- na streets, testified to a conversation he had with Dunghy about a week before the murder. unphy asked for Stanton, and although Dunphy made no threats Cohen was satisfied from his demeanor that he intended harm to Stanton. Maurice Durbin, a brother of the mur- dered man, testifled as to what had hap- pened on the Friday night when Dunphy claimed he had been “jumped” by Stan- ton and four or five of his friends. He sald that Stanton had been at his sister's house -with some friends and when they left they met Dunphy on the corner. Dun- phy and his brother shook hands and there was no trouble. Dunphy and his brother conversed -together for about an hour and a half, and the witness over- heard Dunphy say that if his sister had got herself into trouble she was able to take care of herself. - Moriz Abt, grocer, 429 Minna street, tes- tified that he heard ‘shots and on going outside he saw Dunphy shooting at a body that was lying on the sidewalk and walk away. He saw the body placed in the patrol wagon and noticed there was a ci- garette in the man’s mouth. Dr. Z. T. Malaby of the Emergency Hospital testified as to the nature of Stan- ton’s wounds, which closed the case for the prosecution. The defense will go on this morning. Stanton is not the name under which the defendant was born. His father's name was Durbin, but he was adopted at the age of 11 by a man named Stanton and has since borne that name. — e Not a Salaried Officer. City Attorney Lane advised the Civil Service Commission yesterday that a tem- porary clerk in the city government is not a salaried officer and is not prevented by the charter from holding a position under the State or Federal Government. —————— Skins and Wood to Burn. ‘We have fitted up an exhibit of burnt wood and leather, which all are invited tatlonirecand sacredly Confidential, Call oF address ROSCOE MeNULTY, M.
