The messenger boys of the American | District Telegraph Company returned to work yesterday morning and the strike is practica over. Mayor Schmitz has been selected as the arbitrator of the dif- ferences between the boys and thelr em- ployers, and the case will be presented to him some time during the present week. Charles L. Ackerman, president, and Manager Corcoran of the American Dis- tric Telegraph Company met half a dozen of the striking messengers yesterday morning, George Nolan and Herman Mitch- | €ll acting as spokesman for the boys. The | latter had asked for a flat rate of $2250 per month and uniform shifts of twelve | hours each. Mr. Ackerman said that the | company could not afford to pay the in- crease asked for, but said that the que: tion of hours could be satisfactorily ai ed | Bpeaking of the conference, Messenger | Noian said: “They told us that if they granted our demand for an increase they would not make any money. On Sundays there is irds of the work done as on y days, but the boys don’t always turn up and for that reason they could not just now give us every other Sunday off. ‘Mr. Ackerman agreed to submit the books and all the propositions to the Mayor and he and Mitchell for our side | will call on his Honor together. It looked to us like a fair concession and the boys ;&1 went back pending the decision of the ayor.” Struck With a Frying Pan. G.

Accused Pastor Manages to Get His Case Into Two Courts. Judge Dunne was considerably surprised yesterday when he learned that a writ of habeas corpus had been issued by Judge Cook Monday evening for the re- lease of Rev. James H. Kelley of the First Baptist Church, colored, accused of be- traying Miss Hattie Bynum, member of his congregation, under prom- ise of marriage. The case is in Judge Dunne’s court for trial and neither Judge Dunne nor' the District Attorney was no- tified of the issuance of the writ. After the case had been assigned for trial in Judge Dunne’s court Attorney S. Shertridge for the defendant made sev- eral preliminary motions for a dismissal on the alleged ground that the informa- tion was defective. On July 26 Judge Dunre decided against the defendant and peremptorily set the case for, trial on August 2. “YWhen I learned to-day of the issuance of the writ I called upon the District At- torney,” said Judge Dunne yesterday, “znd he informed me he had not been notified. We visited Judge Cook and in- | formed him of the status of the case. He | said that if he had known that an finfor- mation had been filed he would not have issued the writ. I pointed out to him that the case was peremptorily set for trial in my court and that the issuance of a writ in another court was entirely out of place. He excused himself by say- ing that he did not know anything about the matter and had not given the appli- cation for the writ careful scrutiny, but he intended looking into the facts care- fully when the case came up for argu- nient Saturday. “I have since learned that the ground for the application is based upon an al- leged technicality in the information, which I had already passed upon,” con- tinued Judge Dunne. “I intend to care- watch the proceedings and have asked the District Attorney’s office to do the same thing.” Judge Cook says that the writ was brought to him in the usual manner. He aid not examine into the matter, but said he would have found out all about it Sat- urday. As the case was already before Judge Dunne it would in all probability g0 back to him.

Director tirely superfluous employe, and asks that | the man from Boston be eliminated. At present the big hotel is getting along | without either a manager or associate, as | | both Schonewald and Key are in San Francisco telling their troubles to the di- rectors of the Pacific Improvement Com- | pany, which conducts the big hotel. [ | Schonewald came to San F‘ranc!scni Tuesday. The next train found Key on| his way ready to tell his side of the troubles that have arisen between himself and the manager. He complains that | Schonewald made it unpleasant for him from the moment he arrived at Del Monte, | armed with his credentials as assoclate | manager. He says that as soon as he ar- | rived 'he told Schonewald that he was| reagy to assume his duties and waited to | be initiated into his new fleld of useful-| ness, but that Schonewald did not respond | or let him do a single thing in connection | with the management. Key arrived from Washington the early part of this month under contract as man- ager \of the Hotel Del Monte. Schone- | wald had resigned, but on his prospective successor's arrival in San Francisco, he | reconsidered his hasty action, withdrew his resignation and decided to hold the fort at all hazards. A compromise was | made by Key being made associate mana- ger. Many predicted that there were ‘‘breakers ahead” and the betting was about even as to which of the two mana- | gers would be the first to pack bag and baggage and shake the dust of Monterey County from his feet. Key scored several points in the fight last evening by dining with President | Horace G. Platt of the Pacific Improve- | ment Company. So far Key has had the | last word, and it is more than probable that between the dainty courses of the dinner the associate manager saw & good | opening to sling the hammer and tell his grievances.

The most that was said agalnst Miss McKinney af her trial be- fore the board was that her temper be- came ruffled at times. Woodward and [ Denman voted in favor of the resolution of dismissal. Mark was excused from voting, because he had expressed an opinion adverse to Miss McKinney’s com- petency and was restrained by the court from sitting in _judgment. Roncovieri voted "'no,” and Miss McKinney thus re- lains her position in the department, as three votes were necessary to carry the resolution.

The Board of Public Works was re- quested to submit plans and specifica- tions for two new buildings for the La- guna Honda and Monroe schools. The plans for the Noe Valley School submitted by the Board of Public Works were rejected.

The petition of the Master Painters’ Association of the Pacific Coast that only experienced men be employed in burning paint off schoolhouses was re- ferred to the Board of Works. The request of Principal B. P. M. Nolan that a new class be formed in the ‘Washington Evening School was taken under advisement. The resignations of Mrs. Anita Phillips and Esther Levingston as teachers in the department were accepted. The Golden Gate Valley Improvement Club filed a petition signed by 200 resi- Gents requesting that a new grammar school house be erected on a school lot street, between Webster and Fillmore.

A Few Wilton AR S RO Y BANK FRANGHISE | 15 ASSESSABLE Ruling by Judge Morrow | in Important Tax Litigation. An important decision was handed down | yesterday In the United States' Circuit { Court by United States Judge Morrow in the case of the London and San Francis- | co Bank, Limited, vs. James A. Block as Tax Collector of San Francisco. The de- cision in the main is in favor of the de- fenéant. The sult was brought for an injunction restraining the Tax Collector from mak- ing a threatened sale of the real property ct the complainant and from instituting any suit or suits against the complainant for the collecticn of certain unpaid taxes and to obtain a decree compeiling the ! coliector to accept a certain designated ! sum in full payment of all taxes due for | the_fiscal year ended June 30, 1897. The | amount of taxes claimed by the Tax Col- | lector to be due from the bank was $20,- | 226 36, and the bank offered only $7327 51 | 'The bank contended that it had not in this State any franchise taxable | under the law, for the reason tnat the right to be a corpora- tion is not tne franchise of the cor- | poration itself, but belongs to the mem- | bers composing the corporation. Judge Morrow held with reference to this peint | that the assessment was not imposed | upon a franchise granted to individuals | to form a corporation, nor upon the busi- ncss or occupation of a banker, but upon | the preperty of the complainant embraced in the unity of the franchise of the cor- poraticn to have perpetual succession, to | rave a common seal and to act in all its | business transactions of a general bank- ing business with those special advan- | tages which are incident to corporate ex- | istence. In dealing with the franchise of the | cemplainant as a corporation the decis- | ion goes on to say the assessment must be beld as applying only to the franchise | as property in this State. The corpora- | tion is here and has entered into active | competition with similar iInstitutions chartered by the State. It appeared from the very name of the complainant, said the decision, “and is to be inferred from | the business in which it is engaged that it was organized for the purpose of trans- acting corporate business and owing cor- | vorate property in the city of San Fran- clsco. This” fact brings the complainant within the rule that where a corporation is organized in one State or country for the purpose of doing business in another | it must be assumed that the charter con- tract was made with reference to the laws of the State or country in which the business is to be carried on and that it is to be subject to the liabilities which those laws impése. It follows, therefore, that the assessment was made in accord- ance with law and must be enforced.’ The matter of the assessment on sol- vent credits was then taken up. The first item was the assessment upon the sol- vent credit of $164,576 60 due and owing to the complainant at its head office in Lon- don from the banking house of J. P. Morgan & Co. of New York. The decision held that this credit originated outside | of this State and that it did not appear that it represented a money transaction arising out of the progaerty or business of the complainant in n Frane . It was not therefore subject to assessment t.
