District Attorney Allen gave it as his- opinion to-day' that the horsemen who have their race animals at the Emeryville track must pay their taxes on the same into the treasury of Ala- meda County. The point was raised by James C. Nealon, ex-Assessor of Sanj Francisco, who owns Royal Rogue, Rey Dare, Cassie W and several gther good ones. He contended that they should properly be assessed in San Francisco. . Assessor Henry P. Dalton thought he saw a scheme of the horsemen to evade the payment of any tax, and a lively meeting ensued between Nealon and his attorneys, Dalton and District Attorney Allen. The matter was passed up to the latter for his opinion, in | which he quotes the following from a Supreme Court decision: “To authorize the taxing of personal property in any county than that in which the owner resides, it must appear that the property is being to some ex- tent kept or maintained in such county and is not there casually, or in transit, or temporarily in the course of busi- ness or, commerce.” 1t is fleld that these horses are being maintained at the track, and not there in transit. —_————— PROFESSOR MEYER GIVES “ LECTURE AT BERKELEY ‘World-Famed Authority on History Speaks Interestingly on the Char- acteristics of the Ancients.

In his address to-night Dr. Meyer devoted himself to the factor of in- dividualism in ancient history, of the relation this factor bore to the force of tradition and of the part each of these elementary forces played in the history of the nations of antiquity.
