Miss Sa- e Johnson, an olive complexioned per- son g at 235 Kearny street, was the mystic’'s latest accuser, and when he saw her ascend the witness stand his eyes protruded like hat pegs and he ey groaned with trepidation. She testified | that after telling her fortune he wdled her out of $5 by professing ability to pick the winning horse of a race then pending, and that her share f the income would amount away up three figures. How about that?” asked the Judge. Mus' be anudder case ob mistaken jenterty, murmured the defendant. Disremembah havin’ ebbah seen dat vah lady befo’. Howsumdebbah, I'll gib her de five ef she waits till Friday.” If y don’t return it to her to-mor- row I'll add its worth of imprisonment to the nice long term I've already fig- ured out for you,” said the Judge. The best thing you can do, doctor,” whispered Bailiff Hickey, “is to take your medicine at once, for the longer you put it off the heavier the dose is e to become. The woods seem to be full of people that you've ‘conned.” ” The defendant sadly shook his head as he returned to the prison that has been his home ever since he obtained $10 from a credulous French governess telling her that he had dreamed of e winning horse. And that occurred several weeks ago. . Judge Conlan dismissed seven per- sons who were arrested for celebrating | the Fourth by discharging firearms within the city limits, and the bail of three similar misdemeanants who failed to appear In court was declared for- feited Fifteen others tried on the | same charge before Judge Mogan were find $5 aplece and warned to confine their patriotic future to the comparatively innocuous toy bomb. . . . “There’s a story behind this case, sajd Joseph A. Carter, charged with bettery on Edward Jones, farmer, of Bradford Island, “but I see you're rushed and I won't take up time by telling it.” “Oh, don't mind our rush,” cheer- lly responded Judge Mogan. “The ty paye us handsomely for lhteninli other people’s troubles.” ‘“With your permission ver till to-morrow,” suggested the d fendant, “as it’s quite a serious matter. ‘Your convenience is my pleasure. onitinued till to-morrow.” Farmer Jones informed the court that he weas battered by Carter because he ted Carter’s salary claim. Bl o Graham was na it the Ferry clock, when he wag arrested for disturbing the peace at Market and Bast streets. He ac- Alexander cused the big timepiece of unreliability, ' and averred that it was the means of causing him to miss a river steamboat on which he intended to leave the city. | but | Judge Mogan, but as he ap- | powder-burning in the | I'll hold it | hurling i “Five dollars or five days,” said Judge Mogan. “If you give me time I'll get the five dollars,” said Graham. “I'll give you time to get the money and I'll give you time if you don’t get | the money,” said the Judge. “By George, that joke's worth five dollars of any man’s money,” exclaimed the defendant. “Best I've heard since 1 came to town last Friday.” And his laugh was loud and lasting. George Haveabutton and Lena Travers were treating a mutual friend to dinner in a Chinese restaurant at Jackson street and Bartlett alley, when George became engaged in an alterca- | tion with a walter over the quality of | the third course, which was scrambled | swine-brains. = Words led to blows | and ere the police arrived on the scene George had transformed the interior of | the cafe into a total wreck. He will | be sentenced to-day by Judge Mogan. | eSS F. S. Martin of San Rafael was/ asleep in a Kearny-street saloon, when Henry Brandt robbed him of $80 and ran away, closely pursued by P. Duffy, i who caught him after a long chase. Brandt offered to divide the spoils with | Duffy if the latter would attend to his own business, but the proposal was spurned and the thief turned over to a policeman. Judge Mogan will hear the case next Monday. el Ny | August Rauch and Charles Rathwell | were riding on a Devisadero-street car, when August spat tobacco juice on Charles’ holiday trousers and was | promptly rebuked. In the ensuing fight the honors were about even, when | both combatants were arrested. Judge | Mogan discharged Charles and issued a bench warrant for the arrest of | August, who forfeited his bail by fail- | ing to appear for trial. SR The Insanity Commissioners will ex- amine Alex Hennessey, who was ar-| rested Saturday night for deliberately | cutting some ornamental screens in an | O'Farrell-street music hall. When ar- raigned before Judge Mogan the man | turned his back to the bench and be- | gan delivering an incoherent address to the spectators and he did other things so indicativé of lunacy that he was hurriedly removed. Hennessey is also known as Frederick Alexander H. Burton and has been twice committed to the State Hospital for Insane. His wife got divorced from him about a vear ago on the allegation that he was of unsou: 1 mind at the time she was married to him. He is now con- fined in a cell at the Emergency Hos- pital pending his removal to the asy- | lum from which he was lately released on the supposition that his reason was restored. Oscar Ross will be sentenced to-mor- | row for failing to provide for his fam- ‘ ily, consisting of an invalid wife and | seven helpless children. Instead of contributing to the support of the household, he spent for drink all the | money he could beg or steal from his sick helpmate. . &5 Innocente Zeanani was arrested for | passing a fictitious check and when he | was searched at the Central police sta- tion several lottery tickets were found in one of his pockets, so an additional charge was booked agajnst him. Judge | Mogan gave him twenty-four hours for the tickets and will try him next Sat- | urday on the check charge. The com- plainant is Louis Locatelli, 814 Mont- gomery street, who alleges that Zean- ani gave him a check for $20, purport- ing to be drawn on the Swiss-Ameri- | can Bank by D. Bernardi and indorsed by J. Madeline, both of which signa- tures were fictitious. Y . James Covington, accused of forgery, #hd Willlam Young, charged with| petty larceny, will be tried before | Judge Mogan to-morrow. The com- | plainant is H. Freeman, residing at 11 | Eddy street, who alleges that his name | | was signed to an order by Covington | | instructing Freeman’s landlady, Mrs. |Jane Naughton, to permit the bearer | to obtain a ragor from his trunk. The | | order was presented by Young, who | was allowed to search the trunk, and took therefrom a razor and a valuable | scarfpin. | Police Officer Suttman was arresting John Leishmann for exploding bombs at Twenty-fourth and Castro streets |when A. J. Walsh and two unknown men attempted to rescue the prisoner | by pelting the policeman with rocks. | | Walsh was captured and warrants are | out for the pair of unknowns. s HOUSEHOLD | | And ! SPORTING SCALES. ‘; A USEFUL PREMIUM | TO WANT ADVERTISERS in NEXT SUNDAY’'S CALL. | | In keeping with its usual en- terprise, THE CALL engaged the celebrated Pelouze Scale Com- pany of Chicago to manufacture a special lot of these useful household and sporting scales | especially for the use of its “Want Ad.” patrons, and on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week every one bringing a Want Advertisement for insertion in next Sunday’s CALL will receive one of these useful little premiums. These scales sell regularly at 40 cents apiece and cannot be purchased for less than that amount, so our patrons will readily realize that THE CALL is not only issuing the best premiums ever offered by a . newspaper, but is giving them a series of useful articles that cannot be purchased locally for three and often four times the actual cost of their little Want Advertisement.

WILL ENFORCE NEW ORDINANCE Supervisors Declare Side- walk Elevators Must Have Safety Devices Attached il STABLE IS EXPENSIVE Citizen Complains That the Fire Department Has Al- most Doubled the Cost Theé Supervisors’ Finance Committee | decided yesterday to begin a crusade against the owners of sidewalk eleva- , tors not complying with the new ordi- nance requiring safety devices to be af- fixed to the elevators. A complaint had been received from ecitizens that In-| spector Holman was not enforcing the law and that owners construed it to suit themselves. Holman appeared be- fore the committee and reported that he had inspected 116 sidewalk eleva-| tors and that only 50 or 60 were com- plying with the ordinance. ment seemed to surprise the committee and Brandenstein declared that all must be made to obey the law. “I have not inspected them all,” said Holman, “betause I am obliged to walk in the discharge of my duties.” “Walk!"” cried Brandenstein. “You must see that the law is obeyed if you have to take a car.” J. P. Martih was cited to appear be- fore the committee next Monday and explain why he had failed to put a saféty device on his sidewalk elevator at 607 Market street, where a man’s life was recently crushed out. The Finance Committee referred to Expert Willlams the complaint of J. G. Smythe that the Fire Department sta- bles are being extravagantly conducted and that the cost thereof has increased 50 per cent during the last two years. Smythe alleges that it requires the ser- vices of a battalion chief, at $175 per month, and a fireman, detailed as fore- man, at $100 per month, whereas the work was once done by one O’Connell { for $100 per month. FIREMEN'S PENSIONS. Fire Commissioner Boyne asked the committee to contribute $1368 14 to the deficit of $3268 14 in the firemen’s pen- sion fund. Boyne said the sum of $1900 had been saved in salaries of firemen and this would go toward paying the pensions. The committee answered that there is but $46 left in the urgent necessity fund, but promised to ascer- tain if there were any other funds from which the remainder of the pensions may be paid. The ordinance limiting the height of all frame buildings to forty-five feet was finally passed by the Board of Su- The former limit was fifty feet, but it was reduced in compliance with the recommendation of the Fire Department officials and insurance men generally, in order to afford fire protection, especially in the lodging- house districts. The board adopted a resolution ac- cepting the new safety station at Mar- ket and Ellis streets, presented by | merchants of that neighborhood. Bids for forage and coal were opened and referred to the joint Committee on | Police and Health. A demand was passed in favor of J. H. Dockweiler for $650 for expert ser- vices in the Spring Valley Water Com- any litigation. An ordinance was passed to print raising the pay of the stenographer of the Police Department from $125, but the increase must be paid out of the funds already appropriated for | the department. The roadways of Twenty-first street, between Valencia and Guerrero; Tenth avenue, between H and I streets, and Cedar avenue, between Laguna and Octavia streets, were accepted. EXTENSION OF TIME. The Santa Fe system was granted an extension of sixty days from July 1 within which to complete the Nine- teenth street steel foot-bridge over its proposed tracks, at and near Indiana | street. The San Francisco Gas and Electric | Company was requested to install eigh- teen arc lights in various locations. The recommendation of the Mayor that an additional van driver be al- lowed the Sheriff was referred to the Finance Committee. The following ordinances were finally | passed: Prohibiting the sale of police badges or | stars without the written authorization of the Chiet of Police, Providing for the measurement of the height | of bulldings from the curb level at the center of the front of the bullding. Imposing a_graduated license on riding academies of $2 and $4 per quarter according to the amount of business done. Authorizing the payment of $1000 to A. Wenzelburger for expert services In: the Spring Valley Company Ilitigation during June. —_—— Threw Bomb Into House. Miss Elizabeth Jackson, 507 Shot- well street, who does not deny that she is an old maid, securgd a wArrant from Police Judge Conlan yesterday for the arrest of John Tooker, her next door neighbor, on a charge of disturb- ing the peace. Miss Jackson alleges that because she remonstrated with boys for throwing firecrackers into her basement Tooker threw a big bomb on Monday evening over the transom of her front door and it exploded, burn- ing the carpet and doing other dam- age. He also, she alleges, made use of insulting language toward her be- cause she was an old maid. —_———— Some Patients Accommodated. Owing to a weeding out of the old patients at the City and County Hos- pital Deputy Health Officer Levy yes- terday was able to send twenty new patients to that institution. The limit of 425 patients has been reached and new apblicants can be accommodated only when some of the inmates are discharged. 4 —_—————— I. N. Neely Dies in Milton. I. N. Neely, an old and respected citizen of Milton, died last Thursday at his home in that place. His wife, who had been called to San Francisco, was detained here and so was not at her husband’s bedside at the time of his death. —————— Cheap Rates East.

The assessment books of real | and personal property were returned | by Assessor Dodge, showing that |the aggregate assessed valuation is $511,000,000. The board adopted a rule that no- | tices shall be delivéred to persons, | firms and corporations at least twelve | hours prior to the time set for hear- !ing their applications for reductions. | It was resolved that all assessments | arbitrarily fixed by the Assessor will be increased unless the persons as- sessed file with the board a statement of their personal property. The As- sessor was authorized to add to the | assessment books all property which may have escaped taxation and also to make corrections of clerical errors in the assessments. | The ordinance fixing the municipal tax rate for the ensuing fiscal year at $1 12 on every $100 of assessed valua- tion was finally passed. Of this rate 92.46 cents is for the expenditures of the city government, 7 cents for the park and 12.54 cents for redemption | of and interest on bonds. As the rate was based on an assessed valuation of $500,000,000, when in fact it is $611,000,000, there will be a surplus of $123,200 collected., Of this amount $7700 will be added to the park fund of $350,000; the library fund will se- cure $1650 additional to its $75,000 as | estimated in the budget and the bond interest and sinking fund will receive $13,794 in addition to the $628,336 al- ready voted. The remainder of the surplus, $100,056, cannot be used dur- ing the present fiscal year, as it was not apportioned, but must ke carried over into the funds of the next year and then used for municipal. better- ments. | ARBITRARY ASSESSMENTS. | Assessor Dodge submitted his list of | arbitrary assessments upon those per- 350ns who refused to make sworn state- | ments of their personal property. Among those so assessed is Daniel Meyer, - who heads the list with $1,000,000. The others are: Samuel Davis, $450,000; R. Spreckels, $30,000; W. H, Crocker, $80,000; George E.

The estates assessed arbitrarily which are secured by real estate in- clude those of Jennie A. and Charles Crocker, minors, $873,885; Miranda W, Lux, deceased, $100,000, and Harry Floyd Gopcevic, $2990. The assessment |of J. M. Rowan, incompetent, is not | secured by real estate. It is $5700. | The Assessor also turned over to the Board of Supervisors the military roll | containing the names of those subject | to military duty. | e | DODGE EXPLAINS HIS WORK. | Assessor Invites Dissatisfied Property Owners to File Objections. Assessor Dodge has made public the following letter to property owners, explaining -his reasons for the great increase in the assessment roll and the methods adopted in making it: To the Owners of San Francisco Real Estate The assessment of real estate h $57,000,000. This is an unpre it has been my endeavor to e . ment of real estate this year, however, as nea uniform as it is possible to make it. The immense amount of revisionary work which was required and the short space of time avallable for this work have made it impos- sible to prepare a perfect assessment roll pre- senting no inequalities. It is with a view of affording relief to any owner who may feel that his property Is overassessed that the suggestions contained in this letter are made. The assessment rolis will be opened for in- spection Of Property OWNers to-MOFTOW MoTn- ing (Wednesday) in the chambers of the Board of Supervisors. During the ensuing two weeks the board will sit daily as a bo: ization with the object of revie: sessment of any property owner petition to have the same reconsidered. will be pleaged to meet any prope | who may feel aggrieved at his assessment before the board and there take up the ques- tion solely on its merits. T may here state that, while I am respon- sible for the valuations placed upon real es- tate and believe them to be more just and ac- curate than® they éver have been before in this city, yot these valuations are in the main ba; upon an appraisement made by & board of th professional appraisers of real estate, not con- nected with this office, who we employed by me for this purpose. These appraisers were un- | known to each other and each made a separate estimate of the value by the front foot of each block of city property, which was reappraised. In most Instances their valuations closely agreed. Where they did not an avcrage was struck of the valuations determined upon by them. The result has been an increase in the assessed value of real estate of $87,000,000. There has mot, however, been o uniform in- crease In the assessed vs on of all real es- tate, which would have been unjustifiable, but such real estate as had in the Dast few years shown a marked increase in valuation was raised up to the same basls of valuation as property In less desirable s=ctions has been as- sessed at. In many cases the result has been that real estate has had the assessment thereon doubled, and in a great many instances even trebled. T would have oreferred to distribute this immense increase over two or three v but certain reasons made this inadvisabl my mind. In the first place, there was the action of the State Board of Equalization to be considered. This board last year raised all property 30 per cent. This raise fell on such | property as was fully asseszed as well as on | that which was underassessed. The result was | a great wrong to thousands of our taxpayers. | The board threatened to take similar action this 1!ear. To protect those entitled to protection it was negessary to make an immediate equali- zation of values, aithough this action will be a drastic one in many instances, The ult, however, will, -in my opinion, protect Sai Francisco from any increase by the State oard. ! In the second place, there is the question of equity to those taxpayers whose property has not increased in value to any such extent, vet who have practically been paying taxes for more favored owners, assessed at a much lower rate. These latier owners have realized in many instances large profilts on incres- ing values and should pay at once at the same | ratio as others in less favored sections. 1 know the result will be to force many to im- | prove their property or sell in those {nstances | Where poor improvements cover very valuable 3 My idea of assessments is to have the jand bear the greater burden of the taxes and aseess the mew Improvements as lenlently as is possible. TO ENCOURAGE IMPROVEMENTS. Thus buflding 18 encouraged and the holding of high-priced unimproved or poorly improt realty discouraged. I believe that In ass ing buildings they should be valued solely on the basis of that value which they add to the realty on which they stand, and not necessa- rily on the basis of their cost. This applies partioularly to old buildings. Tt is in this connection that T feel that some property own. ers may have a just cause for asking.a revis lon of their assessment. The, has been no The Board of Supervisors yesterday | possibility of reviewing the assessment A( bufldings this year in conmection with the marked increase made in the assessment of the land on which they stand. The result fs that in some instances the total assessment (the land as raised, plus the assessment of the building) is higher than it should be, when compared with the actual value of the property. In these cases’ which, however, are not great in number, the owner would be justified in asking and entitled to receive a reduction on the assessment of improvements, Land in all instances is assessed at a uni- form rate per front foot in each locality, and | unless the entire district is rated too high, | which in no instance is the case, in my opin- | jon, the assessment on the land should stand. With a building it may be different. If an | unimproved lot sells for as much within $10,- | 000 as an adjoining improved lot with a build- ing thereon, which building may have cost | originaily much more, then the value of that | | ] building Is not greater than §$10,000, and I be- lieve it an injustice to assess It for any more, even though it may have cost years before ,000. Through the fact that it is out of ate and not adapted to the requirements of modern business, its value has depreciated. In conclusion, I desire to say that it has | ever been my purpose, since occupying the of- fice of Assessor, to prevent an unjust discrim- | ination in the taxation of real estate. It will | take a year or two, however, completely to | equalize and adjust the rof on ita present | | basis. It is my desire to 'do this work as speedily as possible, and It is with the view of inviting the co-operation of property owners during the present session of the Board of Equalization that this letter Is written.

Jackson over Ar- line Smith, a two-year-old child, who was taken from her mother's custody on report of the latter’s misbehavior. Clayton C. Smith is the father of the child and alleges in his petition that the adoption was granted under fraud- ulent representations in that Anna Jackson is not, as stated, the grand- mother of the infant. Inquiry devel- ops that Mrs. Jackson is the step- grandmother of the ward. There will probably be a contest for the posses- sion of the child. —_———— Trouble Over a Dog.
