PSRRI There is a chance that the matrimonial s of Wilhelmina Gelhaus and Frank Gelhaus may be settled without the interference of the divorce court. It slim chance, to be sure, but Judge Gra- it is worth the ham has determined tha and because he thinks so he ade an order yesterday directing the tire Gelhaus family, father, mother and children, to appear before him next that he can hear a littie more fliculties that beset the path of L4 and if needs home to patch them up. up for hearing before yvesterday, and his decis- t a r he had heard the by Mrs. Gelhaus. haus is a coal dealer, with a yard on and defendant, th m came of woe told Ge Fourteenth street, between Mission and Marke yme three months ago his wife sued for divorce on the ground of He answered, denying her in a cross complaint he ac- p her of being the cruel one. When Mre. Gelhaus took the witness stand yes- terday, it became very evident that the action for divorce was simply the result of a quarr that had been preceded by many others, and which happened to be little bit more trying than the ones that ccurred during the first few months of The joint Committee on Finance,” Hospital | and Heaith, and Streets, Sewers and Parks, respectfully reports to this board that after a areful, detailed inv ation of the actions | ¢ the Board of Public Works and the Board £ Health in increasing the salaries of cer- tain _emploves of those boards in excess of the provisions of the budget therefor it is not their married life. She testified that she been married to Gelhaus for ten and that during that time she had | e him seven children, in for the three children v a former marriage. slapped her a few married life, and had also ad things to her. She said that other- haus was a good husband. He ly did her washing for her and helped her with her household duties. lier actions in court showed that she was a little bit overwrought, and Judge Gra- ham told her attorney that a little rest would do her some good, and he put the « for a few weeks, asking Mrs. Gelhaus to appear before him next Fric with all her children, even to the little one born te her after she had Instituted the divorce proceedings. 7 The divorce suit of against Charles Dexter, beard by Judge Troutt yesterday taken under submission. Mrs. Dexter wants a divorce on the ground of extreme cruelty, claiming that her husband made her life unhappy by accusing her of being too friendly with one Joseph Spinne: She said that he was =o jealous of Spin- nvey that he once struck her, after a quar- rel that was caused by a discussion over Spinney’s standing in the family. Dexter was called to the stand and ad- mitted that he had been at times a little bit harsh to his wife. “I had to reprimand her several times becanse of her conduct with Spinney. He had money and came between my wife and me. Why, on one occasion, a little more than a year ago, I bought an oyster omelette at the request of my wife. I had twelve oysters put in that omelette, and expected to share in it, but she gave my share to Spinney. In fact she gave him the whole thing, even refusing to give me one oyster. A divorce was granted to W. J. Dicker- son from Hazel Dickerson for desertion and Blanche Crowther® from Andrew F. Crowther for neglect. Suits for divorce were filed by Rosa Viola Vassels against George R. Vassels for desertion, Sarah Schultz against Samuel Schultz for cruelty and Amelia McMinn against Jo- addition to that were during Libbie Dexter gambler, | seph McMinn for neglect. ——————— FILIPINOS ADMITTED WITHOUT A HEAD TAX Islanders Relieved From the Bur- den Imposed Upon Immigrants From Elsewhere. Upon representatjpns made by the War Department yesterday the Immigration Bureau has wired its agents In this city, Tacoma and Seattle to exercise every fa- cility for admitting the Filipino carpen- ters brought over on the transport Sher- man to prepare the Filipino exhibit at the St. Louis Exposition. These people were detained on the they were required to pay a bead tax and also were likely to be- come public charges, The Immigration Bureau has decided that no person coming to the United States from any port in the Philippine Islands is subject to a head tax. The natives affected will be at once sent to St. Louis, as will the 5000 tons of freight which has arrived In this country, and the work of preparing the exhibit will speedily progress. — e Claims Influence Was Used. The will of the late Albert Jeffreys, a Incal real estate clerk, was contested yes- terday by Robert Foley. Foley claims that at the time the document was exe- cuted the testator was under the influ- ence of Eugenia M. St. Paul, the soie legatee of his estate under the will, She sald that | aid many | | at the pre TWO BOARDS ARE TAKEN T0 TAGK Supervisors Disapprov of Big Increases in Salaries. NSRS e The Board of Supervisors yesterday adopted the report submitted by the joint Committee on Finance, Health and Streets in which the Health Board and Board of Public Works are taken to task for in- ng salaries of certain subordinates, which were not provided for by the mu- nicipal budget. The report follows: crea: d Wwith those e in the actions. The appropria- budget of this fiscal artments an ex- departments. The gation by the committee only confirmed the correctness of those appropriations. While the committee recognizes that under the charter these departments may have control of the amount of compensation to be pald to their employes, neverthcless, as the Board of Su- P »rs has the ultimate responsibility of the financial affairs of the city, and in order to make the proper appropriations for the various departments of government, must determine upon a basis of compensation for the various employes ail the departments, its implied or expr ndations in the budget should b the various departments unless good is shown to the contrary Your committee reports that in its judgment no cause was shown why the recommenda- tions of the budget were ignored by fyese de- partments SALARIES ARE JUGGLED. Your committee further reports that vestigation developed the fact that certain salaries that were set for adgitional employes of the Health Department, upon the recommendation of that department at the time ¢ e ation of the budget, had been devot Health, but payment of the tioned, Your committee regrets that this board has not the power to repeal the acts of these tw depirtments, which are in defiance of the r ommendations of the buds nd that this board should be confined to a’ recommendation and request to those departments to rescind their action and abide by the provisions of the budget, and to make such increases and only such increases in salaries and wages as m,k ecifically authorized and provided for in the budget. , that purpose by the Board 1 by it to the s before men- Mayor Schmitz expressed his pleasure ¥ -ntation of the report, and said that he was sorry the Supervisors were not of the same opinion when he had by veto reduced the appropriation of the two | boards named, which, however, the board had overruled. BRANDENSTEIN REPLIES. Repiying to the Mayor's statement, srandenstein said that the vetoes of the Mayor did not affect the action of the Health Board and Board of Works in raising salaries. The two boards, he con. tinued, had used moneys specifically ap- propriated for new positions and for oth- er purposes for the sole purposes of in- creasing salaries, to which the committee had taken exception. The resolution authorizing the Hassell Audit Company to complete the expert- ing of the books in the County Clerk's of- | fice and appropriating $2500 out of the ur- gent necessity fund for the purpose was finally passed. Grades were ordered changed on Mason- jc and Tremont avenues and on Java street. The report of the Board of Works that B. Lantry & Sons are conducting blasting operations in 'hj Potrero in a manner dangerous to lifd and property and re- questing that the firm be cited to show cause why its permit should not be re- scinded was referred to the Street Com- mittee. The petition of the North Side Athletic Club for special permission to give one professional boxing exhibition during each of the months of October, November and December, 1903, was referred to the Police Committee. Ordinances were passed to print provid- ing for the acceptance of Gough street, between Golden Gate avenue and Turk street, and of Waller street, between De- visadero and Broderick streets. The Olympic Club was granted a permit to give an amateur bpxing tournament at its clubrooms on Thursday evening, Sep- tember 24. The ordinance designed to suppress housecleaning machines operating by com.. pressed air on the public streets was made a special order for next Monday. The demands of M. J. McGrath and J. F. Collins, aggregating $872 05, for ser- vices as deputy Justices’ clérks during April, May, June, July and August, 1903, were ordered paid. e Verdict Against French Hospital. A judgment for $350 against the French Hosplital was rendered by a jury in Judge Hunt's court yesterday at the close of the trial of the suit for $2450 damages brought by Charles Pala. He sued on the ground that he had been unnecessar- ily burned by a hot water bag applied to his knee while he was a patient at the hospital. His principal witness was Dr. Dudley Tait, formerly chief visiting phy- sician at the hospita’ its in- | B0 FIAES. LOWER RATE O 7Y TH Bases Levy on Assess- ment Raise by State Equalizers. | Takes Action as Result of Opinion Filed by City Attorney. Proceedings Will Be Brought in Su- preme Court to Determine the Validity of the Ordinance. —_— The Board of Supervisors yesterday passed to print an ordinance declaring the | tax rate for the next fiscal year, both for | State and city purposes, to be $1.405 on every $100 assessed valuation. The Slfllel tax levy is 56.1 cents, and that for the city | is fixed at 84.4 cents, the latter rate being adopted on recommendation of the City | Attorney to meet the raise ordered by the | State Board of Equalization in order not | to collect the sum of $1,300,000 under the | rate of $.076 adopted in June in excess of | the appropriations made in the municipal | budget. The total as: ing the raise of $115,213,676 made by the Board of Equalization, is $545, tabulated statement of the new tax raleg follows: | Rate in cents | “6u : | ment roll, includ- | | Funds. eneral fund ... ireman’s rellet fund.

The opinion says: | X suggest the advisability of presenting the questions flowing out of the action of the State Board of Equalization to the Supreme | Court for final and authoritative judicial de- termination. that the B meeting, fix a tion for city the incre tate Bo The State Pending this decision, d_of Supervisors ai its next new and lower rate of taxa- and county purposes, based upon valuations established by the ! qualization d of Equalization increased 1 advise the assessment roll of the city and county of San Francisco by raising the same 30 per cent, thereby adding to the valuation of the prop- erty within the city and county by the amount of over $120,000,00( 1 If we acc rate as fixed in June, which is $1.076, and accept the valuation upon the within this_municipality as fixed by d of Equalization, we Wwill raise taxation an amount approximately $1,300,- by 000 more than has been provided for by the | budget. It is the law as set forth in the | charter and sustained by the courts that no expenditure can be de by the city and county for municipal purposes, excepting in conformity with the budge appropriation. The effect of permitting the tax rate of June to stand and levying the sa tion as fixed by the State Board of Equaliza- tion would be to increase the revenues of | the city without permitting any possible ex- penditure of the same during the fiscal year in which it is ralsed. ASSESSOR'S VALUATION. ‘ | Inasmuch as the valuation of the Assessor, if this is a county, is subject to equalization by the State Board, there is some foundation, under the decisions of vur Supreme Court, as to the nature of the city and county of San ncisco for the contention that the valuation | upon the valua- as fixed by the State Board of Bqualization must_be accepted by the city and county of an Francisco for ail purposes. 1 do not my- self hold to this theory. I believe that it is possible to entirely disassociate the valua- tion as fixed by the Assessor and the Board | purposes from 1 by the State te purpose: of Supervisors for municip that which is eventually Board of Equalization for may be the ultimate conclusion of our that we have power within our charter to | adopt an assessment made by a ceunt: officer as the basis for a municipal tax levy. I give little weight to the language that is found in the decision ¢ the Supreme ,Court (Baldwin vs_Ellis, 68 455). upholditg the contention that there can be but one valua- tion of the property within the State. The facts there presented do not raise that ques- tlon as to a separate and diff nt valuation within a municipality for municipal purposes and the language of the commissioner is so0 general and loose as to be of little authority. Tt is @ matter of common knowledge that in many of the cities in this State there is one valuation fixed for municiy purposes and | another valuation fixed by the County Asses- gor for county and State purposes. The Lhfl—l ory of our constitution is that the munici- | pality shall be independent of the State so | i far as purely local revenues are concerged. ADVISES LOWER RATE. I advise that at the next meeting, viz.: the | third Monday in September, you fix a tax rate for municipal purposes in conformity with the | | provisions of the Political Code and based | | Upon the valuation made by the State Board of Equalization. The rate so fixed should be | approximately 80 per cent lower than the rate fixed in June and should be sufficient, and | only sufficlent, to produce the same revenue | as would be produced by thé June fate based | upon the Assessor’s valuation. In the or- dinance fixing such municipal rate no refer- ence whatever should be made to the June | | Tate, so that the point could not be made that there was @ direct repeal of the previous Jevy. It is understood that the Auditor shall at once proceed to act upon the assumption that the September rate as fixed by you is | valid. Proceedings in mandamus will then be brought in the Supreme Court by a tax- payer to compel him to act in accordance with Py Sune levy, and in this proceeding I hope | for @ determination of the whole question Within a short period and before taxes become delinquent. By this procedure, no matter What the determination of the court as to the rate that is valid, the taxpayer will be called Upon to pay only the amount of municipal taxes that he would have been called upon to Y had the State board not raised the valua- tion fixed by the Assessor. — r————— EIGHTH STREET WIDENING. Board of Works Wants Authority to Open Thoroughfare to Traffic. The Board of Public Works yesterday recommended to the Board of Supervisors that Eighth street, from Sixteenth to Denison, be opened and widened. The present width of Eighth street is 82:6 feet and the Board of Works desires authority to proceed with the work of making the street 100 feet wide. The following com- munication on the subject, together with a map outlining the scheme to be fol- lowed, was sent to the Supervisors: Jopments incident to the concentra- tl:;:hanrd::;ffig on Sixteenth street will neces- tithte the opening and widening of Eighth Sirect from Sixteenth to Division, It is therefore respectfully recommended that thi board be authorized to take the necessary steps to accomplish the extension and widening: this street.

Harry Wander and Edward Tanquery, painters, were convicted in Police Judge Fritz's court yesterday on a charge of | disturbing the peace and were ordered to appear for sentence this morning. They were seen by Policemen Bennett and Me- Entee and Speclal Officer Newman on | Sunday night to grab hold of ladies on Sixth street and whirl them around.

FILES PETITION FOR FRANCHISE Western Pacific Com- pany Seeking a Right of Way. e R Wants Entrance Into This City for Transconti- nental Line. i i b, The Western Pacific Rallway Company filed a petition yesterday with the Board of Supervisors requesting #hat it be granted a franchise to operate a steam double-track railroad from a point begin- ning at or near the intersection of Six- | teenth street with the easterly line of | Kansas street, and running thence east- erly along Sixteenth street to the water front, a distance of some nineteen blocks. The petitioners also submitted the draft | of a proposed ordinance covering the | grant of franchige. The petition says: Your petitioner is a transcontinental rail- road and it desires to enter the city of San Francisco with its road and run its cars to the water front at the most suitable polnts for rublic convenience. That the ordinance grant- this company shall have and keep in repair the streets along sald route from curb to curb In such manner as may be prescribed by the Su- pervisors, This company further expresses its willingness to comply with the charter and the | State laws, The permit for which the fran- | chise is desired is forty-nine years. | | That said line of railroad has been located €0 as to be most compatible with the public %0od and the least private injury. That your petitioner fs ready to begin the construction of said line as soon as permission Is granted by the Board of Supervisors. The petition was referred to the Street Committee and is supplementary to a pre- vious application of the same company for a franchise over a number of streets in the vicinity of Sixteenth street, which is now in the hands of the City Engineer. | When the franchise for a bay shore line to the Southern Pacific Company was un- | der consideration strong protests were | made against giving the company practi- cal control of Sixteenth street, to the ex- clusion of teaming traffic.
