The session | fore noon was devoted to the examina » of BEdmond Freund, who, for the past years, had been bookkeeper for the insolvent firm. In the afternoon Henry C. er, grain expert for the Merchants’ | Exchange, took the stand and after he| been questioned by the attorneys rep - g the different factions an ad urnment was taken until next Wednes. day morning at 10:30 o’clock. When the hearing was called to order room was filled with legal represen- es. Attorney Henry Ach looked out for the Eppinger end and principal among | bank representatives were David | idenrich, Attorney Chickering, G. C. Ven Ness and Gavin McNab. Frequent objections were made, particularly by Ach, and at one time in the afternoon the proceedings came nearly to & halt that the court might be given an opportunity | to decide as to the admissibility of cer- tain evidence. As it was, numerous ob- | jections were made and numerous ques- tions were certified to the court for a de- cision as to their propriety. Freund was asked particularly con-| eerning the disappearance of the ware- | house books. He professed absolule‘ ignorance of the matter and said Dem- | ing hed him with the information | that they had been taken to San Fran- | cisco, where they were needed. On the | cay before the closure, and about 10| o'clock at-night, the books were placed in | a ary goods box on the wharf and wrapped in burlap. Witness did not know what became of them or to whom they | had been shipped. The S8an Joaquin and| % barge were at the wharf that night and came on to the city. The missing | records may have been taken on board, | but Freund would not swear that such | was the case. With regard to the marking of the grain bags, the bookkeeper testified that some of the sacks bore old numbers, but that a variance in numbers was discov- ered only in one instance, that when an old number had been covered by a new one. The @ifferent lots were taken up separately and discussed. He had marked some of them and was always guided by Superintendent Deming. Henry C. Bunker of the Merchants’ Ex- change told how he had gone to Crockett | with an order from the Eppingers for the | purpose of claiming grain for the.Amer- | ican National Bank and the Bank of Mon- terey. He was directed by Deming to | the different lots he had made a record | of and sald the banks held warehouse fecelpts for everything claimed. Attorney David Freidenrich, who represents nearly all the banks, with the exception of these | two, ettempted to show that the ware- house people had “tipped” the two banks | of the coming fallure and that they | hastened to satisfy thelr claims before | the crash, regardiess of to whom the grain they marked belonged. —_—— Opposes Aunt’s Petition.

OIS AOMITS HE 15 GULTY Makes Statement Bear- ing Out Case of the Prosecution. John Davis, one of the thugs who beat and robbed Mrs. Emma V. Mathews at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ida E Tuttle, 543 Haight street, on the after- ncon of March 4, pleaded guilty to a| charge of robbery before Judge Cook yes- erday morning. He asked for the le-| niency of the court, and the Judge sen-| tenced him to serve twenty yeass in San Quentin. Davis asked the privilege of making a statement under oath. He was sworn and testified that he had been willing to plead guilty at the first calling of the case, but was dissuaded by Michael Nolan, who | said he could beat the case. Nolan, said Davis, was not in the house at the com- mission of the crime, but plotted it. Nolan id Docia Nolan had told him that there was $4000 in the house, as she knew it through Mrs. Tuttle's little daughter, | who had told her niece. For two weeks prior to the crime Nolan had been con- | stantly after him to commit the crime. ] “On the morning of March 4,” Davis centinued, “Nolan came to my room and told me to get up, as the others had gon out there and that everything was clear, the folks having gone away. Nolan said there was $4000 or $5000 in it. I had been | and was under the influence of opium and | drink and did not fully realize what 1 was doing when I consented to go, and had 1 known there was anybody at home I would never have went. “It was I, and not Nolan, that stopped | Whitelaw from beating Mrs. Mathews. Nolan sneaked to court and pleaded | gullty to gain the little benefit that was | due me by stopping Whitelaw from beat- | ¢ ing Mrs.‘Mathews. I have good, honor- | able folks that I would not want to bear the disgrace of my being implicated in | the assault on a poor, defenseless woman. | I have too much respect for women to be guilty of any such thing.” | The Judge in passing sentence said that | he believed Davis when he said that he | did not know that any one was at home and that he went simply for the purpose of committing burglary. Nolan had been the Instigator of the crime, and the heav- | fer sentence had on that account been | given him. Such crimes must be stopped | and the perpetrators must be made an | example of so as to deter others from | following in their footsteps. This ends the fate of the quartet con-| cerned in the brutal crime. Docia Nolan bas been sentenced to elght years, Ber- | nard Whitelaw to imprisonment for life, | Michael Nolan to twenty-five years and | John Davis to twenty years. Eugene Eagan, an ex-convict, who was convicted by a jury in Judge Dunne's| court on a charge of robbery, was sen- tenced yesterday to serve ten years in San Quentin. He held up Peter Madera | of 606 Second street at the Second street bridge on the night of April 17 and robbed | him of $1, which Madera had borrowed | from a friend a few minutes prior to the | hold-up. —_——— ’ Framing the Picture s sometimes(@lmost as difficult as nam- ing the blby.‘You find the task an easy | one if you bring your pictures to us and try the moldings and mats here.

Coglan, clerk of the State Board of terday to Clerk Fay of the Board of Su- pervisors to the effect that the board hav- assessment roll of San Francisco proposes to increase the entire assessment roll for the year 1903 except property exempt from increase for the purpose of making the assessments conform to the true value of the property contained in the roll. The Board of Equalization will consider all objections which may be made to such increase at its office in the State Capitol at Sacramento on Saturday, August 29, 1903. In all likelihood the Finance and | Assessment committees of the Board of Supervisors and Assessor Dodge will go | to Sacramento to protest against the in- crease. On the subject of the proposed raise Assessor Dodge gave out the following statement: RAISE IS EXPECTED. The beliéf s prevalent among our largest taxpayers that the present intention of the | State Board of Equalization is to raise my assessment of property in San Francisco. This | a fleld for examination by an expert ap- | pointed by the board. I am dally interviewed by taxpayers who are | protesting against any such contemplated | action, knowing their assessment to be now | not only reasonable but just. To our taxpayers | and to our owners of real estate I desire to say | that when the proper time comes the State board will be informed of the true conditionin Misleading_and untrue state- ments which have been made to the board re- garding San Francisco's present assessment by representatives of other countles Who are seek- ing to have their assessment reduced will be | refuted. These false statements have been sent | over the State a reports of the board’s proceedings. To illustrate: The representatives of Los | Angeles County stated that the building per- mits pf San Francisco during the past year | amounted to $16,000,000 and that my assess- | ment on these bulldings was less than §2,000,- A_more t could not be telegraphic cannot be taken as a basis for assessment. In year in San Francisco Is not but more than $7,000,000. that is being introduced s for last 100,000, as this is evide: against San Francisco. ASSESSMENT INCREASED. Our southern neighbors also clalm that they | should be reduced because Los Angeles County has had its assessment Increased $53,000,000 this year, and they point d:sparagingly to our | smaller increase this year. They do not refer | to the fact that while their county has for the | past four years had a low assessment, San | Francisco was ralsed by me in one year more | than $50,000,000, and that in four years our | roll has been incre v $70,000,000. They evidently would penaliz cause her property has been falrly assessed for four years while theirs remained low. Again, | the fact is not brought forward in this con: nection that they are comparing Los Angeles with an area of 4142 square miles, | the city of San Francisco, with an area | 6 square miles, Nor is it considered that the population of Los Angeles city increased in ten years from 50,395 to 102,479, -2 gain of | more than 100 per cent, while In the same pe- riod San Francisco gained less than 20 per This is one occasion on which our | mpetitors instituted no comparison as to growth In population and wealth between In this same period Los An- ing P wi these two citles. geles County increased in population 70 per cent. 1Is it not to be expected that her wealth would increase with her population? We hear a great deal of the stream of wealth that has been flowing into the south from Eastern States and of her orange orchards at $1000 an | acre. Why should not her assessment roll show & proportionate increase? And when our city has presented an increase of $75,000,- 000 as against the tardy increase of $50,000,- 000 In her county, why should the State board | entertain this as an_argument in favor of | raising San Francisco? I do not belleve they will or can. In spite of the increasé from $300,000,000 in 1890 to $426,000,000 in 1903, shall the burden of our taxpayers be increased now by the ac- tion of the State board? When all the facts are before the board, when the misleading evidence that has been presented to It shall have been refuted, as I| Will see that it is, then I trust that the fact will be recognized by our State board that for five years past San Francisco has poured her full quota of taxes into the State treasury. e OFFICERS ARE ELECTED TO GOVERN THE Y.

Judge Graham's Efforts to Effect Reconciliation Defeated. —_— In the suit for divorce brought by Mary A. Clark against James Clark, an em- ploye of the hardware firm of Baker & Hamlilton, a motion for a nonsuit was taken under submission by Judge Gra- ham yesterday. The motion was made | by Clark’s attorneys after the hearing | of considerable testimony which showed | that both plaintiff and defendant were equally blamable for their only too evi- dent marital unhappiness. The court suggested to the Clarks that | there was a chance of both living hap-| pily together if they would take a pledge not to drink liguor for a year, the sug- gestion coming after Mrs. Clark had tes- tified-that she drank beer and spent 20, cents a day keeping a lard pall full of the frothy beverage, and Clark had said | that his breakfast usually consisted of | a glass of whisky. The suggestion was net faken kindly by elther of the litigants, so Judge Gra-| ham took another tack, and suggested that for 'the benefit of their six children they should kiss and make up. | “Come, now, Mrs. Clark, kiss your hus- | court, beaming kindly upon the plaintift. | “Kiss him!’ almost shouted the hard- ware man's wife, jumping out of her| chair; “I'd rather kiss a Chinese.” This ended Judge Graham’s efforts to effect a reconciliation, but he refused to | grant the divorce. Judge Troutt made an order yesterday | directing Elden S. Darrow, an employe | of the Sduthern Pacific. to pay to Flor-| ence Darkow $50 counsel fees and $30 a month pending the trial of her suit for| divorce. Darrow claims that his wife's | efforts to get alimony is a systematic | scheme of persecution. He says that her | parents sare wealthy people and that therefore she does not need his aid, par- ticularly as she refuses to live with him. Presiding Judge Kerrigan issued an’ or- der directing Captain S. A. Leffingwell, a well known mariner, to appear before Judge Hebbard August 24 and show cause Why he should not be punished for con-, tempt. The order was made on petition of Mrs. M. E.

The petition was demurred to cn the ground that it was amblguoas and that | the action was barred by the statut: of limita- tions. In overruling the demurrer and thys de- termining that the petition will be n-.u& an ite merits Judre Murasky waid: “It is true that it has been 1eli by Judge Plattt of the District Court of the United States in and for the District of Connecticut that the | act of Congress, approved July 1, 188, estab- lishing a uniform system of bankruptey throughout the United States snperseded all State insolvent laws and that ‘It 1s not fm- portant that by an express provision of the bankruptcy act a corporation is excepted from the category of those who are purmitted to| enjoy its privileges as voluntary bangrupts,’ | Which would scem to indlcate that potwitn- ‘standing the petitioner carried on a -busines< Which precluded it from seeking relfef under the provisions of the act of Congress It was | nevertheless forbldden to apply to the State ‘courts. “The Supreme Court of this State in the case of Herron Company Superlor Court, 136 California, page 279, has held: ‘If the bank- ruptey act excepts @ class of cases from s operation, either in express terms or by nu sary implication, it must be considered thut it was the intention of Congress not to interfere in that class of cases with the laws of the rov- eral States in reference thereto.

The Street Committee of the Board of Supervisors decided yesterday to introduce two ordinances at next Monday's mecet- ing of the board for the doing of street work, the aggregate cost of whith will be | $65,000. The first ordinance will deal with the construction of a sewer in Sixth street, blds for which were invited during the last fiscal year. The lowest bid was $563,000, but as the estimate made by the City Engineer was only $49,006, the City Attorney ruled that ‘the contract could not be awarded at the increased figure. New bids will now be invited after the | ordinance has been finally passed and the werk will be done at once. The second improvement will be that of the repaving of Spear street, from Market | to Mission, at an estimatud cost of $11,600. This work was also delayed last year at the instigation of property owners who desired time to raise their sidewalks to the official grade necessitated by the work of repaving. Supervisor Erandenstein ap- peared before the committee and urged that the work be done, as everything was now In readiness. Assistant Secretary Keogh of the Board of Works assured the committee that the money necessary would be forthcoming, but he requested | that the necessary authority for the building of the Sixth-stret sewer be also passed, and the committee acquiesced. It is expected that the cost of repaving Spear street will exceed the first estimate of $11,600, owing to the increased cost of basalt blocks. Regarding the complaint of property owners concerning the sewering of Lib- erty street, between Church and San- chez, Mrs. R. R. Fell stated that she was ready to build the sewer, and the property owners were given two weeks to have the work done by private con- tract.
