Timofi Silverman, steerage passengers on the Gaelic, were held up | 3 rday morning by Customs Inspector Laurentzen pending the appraisement of diamond jewelry worn by Mrs. Silverman. Both are Russians, the man not speaking English and the woman speaking Rus- sian and German. She refused to deliver her jewels for appraisement or to pay on theny, and the couple were ac- taken to the office of the Sur- the Port, where the woman con- sented to hand over all her diamonds ex- cept her earrings, which she said she did | not want to take out because the holes in | her ears would close. The earrings were | appraised, however, with the rest of the | gems at 3600 gold, the duty on which at | 60 per cent. will amount to a considerable | sum. The woman said that she bought | the jewels in Shanghai nine months ago for $1500 Mexican sflver, or $615 gold. Her | husband earned the money by working in | a gold mine at Kwang Tung, China. Duty paid, the diamonds are worth $960. —_——e ot Cook’s Nemesis Follows Him.

The story of Mr. Fischel's tribulation begins in the latter end of October and is continued for further developments. In October Inspector Kercheval of the State Fish Commission discovered that a box containing thirty-six grouse had been consigned from Salt Lake City to Samue! M. Levy, a commission mer- chant of this eity. The box was recelved by Clerk Day at Mr. Levy's store and he paid the express charges of $3 upon it. As the contents of the box were not stated on the package, Levy was arrested on a complaint sworn to by Inspector Kerche- val. When examined before United States Court Commissioner Heacock Levy swore that the box had been sent in his care to Jacob Fischel, and that he himself had had no knowledge of its contents. He tes- tified further that a few days before the arrival of the grouse Fischel had tele- phoned to Levy that he expected a pack- age from Salt Lake and requested Levy to pay the express charges on the same, which charges were subsequently refund- ed by Fischel. Thomas D. Riordan, counsel for Fischel, offered to prove that the grouse were kill- ed in Utah during the open season for such game birds, but Judge Heacock said that such proof would not avail, as it was plain that the law had been violated by the neglect of the shipper to specify upon the package the contents. The. Court ac- cordingly held Fischel for trial, and dis- charged Levy, against whom there had been no proof that he knew what the box contained. Mr. Fischel was allowed to go on his own recognizance.

Attorney Schooler for the defendant said he was willing that another juror be impaneled and the case proceeded with after the testimony had been read to the new juror. The Judge. objected and dis- charged the jury. The case was set for trial this morn- ing, when a new jury will be impaneled. All the evidence for the prosecution had been presented to the old jury and it will now have to be repeated. —_—— REAL ESTATE BOARD HEARS GOOD REPORTS Various Sections Supply Information Concerning Condition of Busi- ness in Property Line.

AT In a communication recommending the construction of a sewer on Andover. ave- nue, south from Crescent avenue, the Board of Works urged the Supervisors yesterday to take the necessary steps to provide all .parts of the city with adequate main sewers and proper outlets therefor. The communication continues: The conditions demanding immediate action regarding the building of sewers are increasing and becoming more complex in all parts of the city and are particularly severe upon residents in ‘the growing sections of the city. The pos- sibility of incurring damages by construcsing sewers with outlets over and ~upon public streets and private property deters this board from aughorizing such constructions and this action ents private citizens who stand ready to orotect the lives and health of their families from so doing. Until the main sewers are constructed this board cannot assume the responsibilities incident to' the conditions above set forth. - Braunhart's resolution that the sum of $50) be set aside out of the urgent neces- sity fund for-the purpose of taking such action as may be necessary to promote the acquisition of the Geary-street rall- road by the city and also to secure the adoption of proposed charter amendments was -adopted. The ordinance transferring a Fire De- partment lot on Sacramento street, be- tween Webster and Fillmore, to the pub- lic library trustees.was passed to print. The erection of a branch library building on the site will be commenced at once. The board approved the action of Act- ing Mayor. Brandenstein in extending an invitation on its behalf and the people of San Francisco ‘to the American Bank- ers’ Assoclation, now in session at New Orleans, ‘to hold its next annual conven- tion in thks city. Ordinances providing for the grading of "Dorland: street, between Church and Dolores; for the full acceptance of Stan- van street; between Carl street and Par- nassus avenue, and Frederick street, be- tween Ashbury street and Masonic ave- nue, and reducing the widths of the side- walks on Eighteenth street, between Noe and Castro, to twelve feet were passed to print. The Olympic Club was granted permis- sion to hold an amateur boxing exhibi- tion at the club’s rooms on Tuesday even- ing, December 2. Boxton’s proposed amended ordinance providing for the issuance by the Health Officer and Recorder of certified copies of certificates of births and deaths and fixing the fee to be charged at $1 for each certificate was referred .to the Health Committee. The ordinance pro- vides that the widows or children of ex- Union soldiers, sailors or marines who served the United States during the Civil and Spanish-American wars or in the Philippine insurrection shall be furnished with cerfificates free of cost. EIGHTEEN COUNTIES EXPECTED TO SHOW Citrus Fair for Thanksgiving Week Has Excellent Prospect of Being Large Success. i Eighteen counties north of Tehachapi are now expected to take part in the Thanksgiving citrus fair in this city, which will open one week from next Mon- day, which is Thanksgiving week. Man- ager Filcher of the State Board of Trade reports that the counties that are certain to participate are Tulare, Fresno, Kern, San Joaquin, Butte, Placer, Colusa, Glenn, Tehama, Sacramento, Mendocino and Sonoma. The last mamed county is not to be represented as a whole. The Asti colony will be largely ~represented and individual exhibitors will make creditable displays of citrus fruits. The counties that are also expected to take part, but which have not yet positively agreed to do so, having the matter under consideration, are Kings, Stanislaus, Yolo, Solano, Yuba and Shasta. In addi- tion to citrus fruits the autumn products of the northern counties will be shown. Manager Filcher says that large .space has been asked for by several counties and the outlook is excellent for a fine citrus show. The California Floral So- clety has decided to distribute floral deco- rations throughout the county exhibits for their adornment and not to make any collective display. The personal canvass of this city for money to pay the admin- istration expenses will begin to-day. The sum of $300 has been received in response to a circular letter. The total administra- tion expense is estimated at $1500. _———— Accused of Stealing Curios. Daniel Davis was bocked at the City Prison yesterday by Detectives Eagan and Riordan on a charge of grand lar- ceny. He is accused of having stolen a package containing curics and other ar- ticles belonging to J. Homer Fritz, a miner from Nome, which was left on the seawall by the mate of the steamer Cen- tennial on November 5. Most of the stolen property has been recovered. De- tective Eagan swore out a warrant for the arrest of S. Isaacs, a pawnbroker, 647 Washington street, on a charge of re- celving stolen property, as Davis alleged that part of Fritz's property was sold to Isaacs. —————— No Hope for Neall. The motion for a rehearing in the case of Captain John M. Neall was denied yes- terday by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. Neall is serving a two years® sentence in the San Quentin penitentiary for forging a certificate of deposit for $460 while lieutenant in command of Troop B of the Fourth United States Cavalry. WOULD PROTECT SMALL TAKPAER Collector Smith Urges the Board to Pass Resolution. Only Large Property-Owners Are Mindful of Spe- cial Levy. e i Tax Collector Smith sent a communica- tion to the Board of Supervisors yester- day in which he urges the passage of a resolution providing that all taxes paid for this year be regarded as paid under protest so far as the special levies for new schoolhouses and a city and county hospital are concerned. The Tax Collector’s action is based on the fact that certain large property hold- ers, banks and corporations are protest- ing against paying the special tax in ex- cess of the dollar limit on the ground that it is a violation of the charter, while smaller property owners are neglecting to avail themselves of the privilege named. Under the law only those for- mally filing protests will be entitled to the return of the tax should the levies be declared invalid by the Supreme Court. Smith, therefore, desires the resolution passed so that every taxpayer, whether he .protests or not against the special levies, shall be entitled to a return of the taxes so paid. The communication, which was referred to the Joint Commit- tee on Finance and Judiciary, follows: To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors, City and County of San Francisco, Cal.—Gen- tlemen: Permit me to call your attention to the fact that nearly all of the large taxpayers, banks, corporations, etc., are paying their taxes this yeareunder protest, contending that the additional levies of 7% cents on each $100 assessed valuation for mew school bulldings and 73 cents on each $100 assessed valuation for the new City and County Hospital, as pfo- vided for in this year's levy, are prohibited by article 3 of chapter 1, section 2 of the charter; sections 1, 2 and 3, chapter 5, article 7, are also invoked. It anpears to me that if the courts should hold that these special levies are illegal a great injustice would .unintentionally be done the small taxpayers, who as a rule are the first to pay taxes and' rarely question the legality of the same. T respectfully suggest that your honorabie board, by resolution, adopt some measure by which this claes of our citizenship may secure your protection in this matter. -1 suggest that a resolution to the effect that all taxes paid for the year 1902 be deemed paid under protest in S0 far as the legality of these special levies is concerned. ~ Yours respectfully, EDWARD.J. SMITH, Tax Collector. STATISTICIAN SUBMLi-S TEPORT FOR OCTOBER Death Rate for the Last Month Was Greater Than That for Same Time Last Year. Ed M.

COULDN'T BELIEVE IT POSSIBLE How the Piano Club System Showed a Saving of Exaclly $147 on Ore Piano---Her Sister Paid $325 at Another Store for a Piano That Gan Be Had‘at Pommer-Eilers Music Company Under the Giub Plan for $178---Thir- teen More Joined Safurday, Eight Yesterday. “Do you mean to say that I can get this beautiful piano for $178?" eagerly in- quired one of our callers yesterday. “‘Cer- tainly,” our young man replied. “That is the price at which we furnish these planos to members of Club ‘A’ now form- ing.” *Is it a new piano?”’ she asked. “Of course, it is a brand new onme, Madam,” said he. ‘““Well, then, what is the matter with it?” she conginued. “The matter with it? What a str@hge question. It is a brand new piano and we guarantee it in every respect; but what makes you ask this question?’ “I can scarcely be- lieve my eyes,” the young lady said. “Why, my sister paid $325 for just exactly the same piano at another store only a short time ago and here it is to be had for $178—at a saving of almost $150.” The conversation related above actually occurred at our store yesterday and it is needless to say that it did not take this young lady long to join Club “A™ and se- cure an upright piano at a sawing of more than enough to pay for a thorough, all- around musical education. You can do likewise here now. This is the plan: Members joining Club “A’ will obtain a fine new plano upon payment of $ down and weekly payments of $1 25. Remember this club is only limited to 100 members. Members of Club “B" pay $7 50 upon de- livery of piano and then at the rate of $1 60 a week. Club “C” members pay $I12 down and the balance in payments of $2 weekly. Members of Club “D” will be asked to pay $20 down and payments of 3250 per week. Note: Payments may be arranged on & corresponding monthly basts, if desired. Members making larger payments than above will effect an aditional saving in interest. KERE ARE THE PRICES : All regular $225 pianos will be turned over to club members now at $137. The $275 pianos at $I78. All $300 planos at $IS7, and the very finest medium grade instru- ments that could not be sold under regu- lar retail conditions for less than 3350 will go to club members at $218. The most beautiful regular 3500 highest grade, fancy hand carved planos will go at $352, and ail $400 styles at $267. Corresponding reduc- tions are made on every one of the 400 fine new planos included in this sale. JCIN TO-DAY—DON'T DELAY, It will pay you to join first thing to-day. The sooner you cail and make your se- lection the surer you are in being perfect- ly suited in an instrument. Bear in mind that an unconditional manufacturer’s guarantee accompanies every instrument sold, which guarantee is countersigned by ourselves, thus making all purchasers doubly sure. All instruments are kept in tune for club members free of charge for one year from date of delivery. 0ld pianos and organs will be accepted from club members at fair value toward payment of any new plano desired.
