S of which will be to change the method of assessing certain railroad property in the State of California. The opinion has reference to the assessment ofeso-called branch lines. fect The State Board of Equalization in | its request for advice says Heretofore some 'of the branch lines of the Pacific_ Company have been Southern assessed by the State Board and other branch compa: have been assegsed e eeveral counties e those short Ifnes main line to some the same county as the point Some of these branch lines carry sengers and freight for hire, some of factories and other v for the nes of the same the local a transporting freight y the Southern Pacific Company d as one system; tickets may at any point on the entire system o transportation to &ny ystem ; similarly, freight rom point to point over em; the bookkeeping of the gys- scted @s @ unit, and the earning he expenses of the entire system are 1 one account The Attorney General first points out .in his opinion that under the provisions of section-10 of article 13 of the State constitution “the franchise, roadway, roadbed, rails and rolling stock of all be purchased ling the holder Ta ads operated in more than one county in this State shall be assesped by the State Board of Equalization at . their actual value,” and that neither . the constitution nor the statutes of the State make any distinction between the main line and its branches, but that the sole distinction is whether the rail- road is operated in more than one county The debates of the constitutional con- vention are extemsively cited, and the Attorney General draws from these the fpllowing conclusio - That n 10 of & 13 of the State as zdoptes the purpose of ust assessments—just 1o the several ubdivisions of the State, and just to ads. That the Constitutional Con- obta potte heved that it was impracticable for hime adway, roadbed rails and ck of railroads, operated in two or %, 10 be assessed justly if the a segeme reof was entristed to local asses and. therefore, the assessment of said Jerties should be entrusted to a central isdiction over the whole State. anchise of such a mallroad could justly only by the body having ction of the mileage of the entire. road n whole State, and also having power to cxamine the books, papers, and officers of the owner.

Particular attention is directed by the Attorney General to the fact that the practice heretofore prevailing—as indicated by the letter addressed to him by the board—must necessarily have been {llegal in one respect or the other, that the State Board of Equalization should either have assessed all of the branch lines referred to or should have assessed none of them. The opinion then takes up the his- That the rolling stock | The matters last re- | BIC PROBLENS LOS ANGELES, May 1.—As the day | for the assembling of the delegates to! | the thirty-first general conference of | the Methodist Episcopal church ap- | proaches, general interest in this great | gathering of representative churchmen from all parts of the civilized world | becomes hourly greater,and when Bish- op Steven Mertill calls to order the fir | session at 9 o'clock next Wednesda: | morning, 748 out of a total of 750 a | credited delegates will be in their seats ready to proceed with the serious leg- islative tasks confronting them. These delegates will, during the daily sessions, lasting throughout the month of May, be called upon to solve many ! | problems of momentous importance to | the growth and future welfare of the | Methodist Episcopal church. In the obinion of many high in the councils of Methodists the quadrenmal | session will prove the most important of | any in the history of the church. There is a diversity of sentiment, however, as to which of the many questions to be | decided is first in order of consequence. Subjects rahging from the broad ques- | tion of right and sympathy in the Rus- so-Japanese war to personal question of whether the lowly member of de- | nomination should attend theater and ‘pla)' games of cards, will be discussed {and passed on. | 1In fact there is little of ethic interest in life that will not be discuss Among the most important subjects are the following: “Is the course of the | President of the United States in con- ducting the affairs of the nation such as may be approved by Methodism?” | | “What can the church do on the liquor question 7" “What action can the chusch take to solve the race ques- | tion?” “Shall worldly pleasures such as | dancing, theater going and card play- | ing be condoned by the church?” “With which combatant in the war in the Ori- ent are our sympathies?” “What can be done by the church to prevent in the good name of the country the crime of lynching?” The subject of the American Univer- | sity, in course of conmstruction at | Washington, D. C., is one of the big | questions that the educational commit- | tee will have to decide. The institution, as originally projected, was to have an endowment “of $5,000,000 and an agree- ment was reached at a former general | conference that the university should | not be opened until this sum should be {in hand. About $2,500,000 has been col- lected, land has been securcl and sev- eral large buildings erected. For the first time in the history of Methodist General Conferences women | delegates will have seats and a voice in the direction of church affairs. { —_————— | YOSEMITE.

Hal Davis, Inez Macauley and com- pany opened at the Orpheum yester- | day afternoon in a sketch that is on | the bills as “Pals.” The climax of the | act makes a decided hit. As the num- | ber continues the audience is kept in an | inquisitive mood as to its finish, but | when the end comes all desires are sat- |isfied and what might be termed a thorough “rough house” is given with a vim. A jealous husbana attacks an | old college companion, who recalls to his wife recollections of a childhood af- | fection and the quarrel begins. Mirrors | and windows are smashed, fixtures | shattered and the bill of the property | man must. amount to more than the average salary. Brandow and Wiley, colored singers, present a lively singing and grotesque | dancing act. They are artists in| their work and won a hearty recep- | tion. Hal Merritt appeared in a “girl” | monologue. He did excellent work, with the aid of posters, and is destined to be : a favorite until the end of his engage- ment. The M. F.

ORPHEUM SHOW DIES AT SIGHT, OF CONSTABLES Omaha Physician Swoons at Wife’s Bedside When Offi- cers Arrive to Evict Them Special Dispatch to The Call. OMAHA, Neb., May 1.—Dr. Willlam T. Gerisch, 66 years of age, dropped dead this morning at the bedside of his sick wife when the constables ap- peared to evict him from his home in satisfaction of a mortgage given to se- cure delinquent rents. Gerisch came to Omaha a year ago from Hartington, Nebraska, and opened a small private hospital. He was unsuccessful in get- ting patients and his savings were soon exhausted. Two months ago he mort- gaged his furniture to his landlord and yesterday when threatened with evic- tion he pleaded for a day's delay and tried to borrow from friends. He only | raised $150, which he carried to his wife's bedside and handed to her. At this moment two constables appeared on the scene. The old man had so far borne up under the hope that some- how things would turn out all right, but the sight of the constables was too much for his shattered spirit. He fell to the floor in a swoon and in a few minutes was dead from heart failure. The poor man’s wife, seeing her husband’s body roll over, rose from her bed and ran screaming from the house. tance, but it was too late to save her husband. Mrs. Gerisch says that after her husband died the constables acted | like savages. Even the very bed on | which she was lying was taken away.
