SAUSALITO, Aug. 3.—Fred Marriott, editor of a San Francisco weekly paper, was arrested this morning by a deputy marshal for refusing to pay his annual street poll tax. Marriott's arrest was the outcome of the recent ordinance passed by the Board of Trustees of the town of Sau- salito which compels every male inhab- itant of the town of Sausalito to pay an annual street poll tax of $1. Marriott appeared before Judge Pry- r. The case was postponed until next aturday and Marriott was released on his own recognizance. 'The Trustezs have engaged Henry McPike of San Francisco and George Harlan of San afael to act as special counsel. ‘W. J. Martin, a member of the Sau- salito Board of Trustees, stated to-day that the recent action of the board with reference to the enforcement of the ordinance levying a road tax of one dollar on every male inhabitant is a step that has two objects in view.. One is to repair and put in order the boule- vard or shore road, the principal thor- oughfare, which connected the municl- pality with the Government reserva- tion—a thoroughfare that had been al- most completely destroyed by last win- ter's storms. The other is to levy a tax upon a certain cl: ss who never pay any taxes of any kind or character. It is from this class, if from any, that the chief opposition to the ordinance is expected to come. Martin also remarked that the Legis- lature of the State had placed the pow- er to pass and enforce such an ordi- nance in the Board of Trustees, and that the board had taken able counsel and meant to sustain their action if it could be done. Also that while it was the duty of the taxpayer to go to the town marshal to pay his tax, never- theless, for convenience to the taxpayer, the town marshals had been instructed to make collections, and to act with courtesy and civility and_to report no efusal and de- fiance of the law was met with. The board will enforce the ordinance unless passed on adversely by the courts. ————— COMMISSIONERS READY TO ESTABLISH BOUNDARY | Preliminary Work Will Soon Begin on Line Between Canada and Alaska. VANCOUVER, B. C, Aug. 3.—For the purpose of inspecting the work of the survey parties engaged in establish- ing the boundary line between Canada and Alaska, the two boundary commis- sioners representing Canada and the United States are here en route to the north. O. H. Tittmann, superintend- ent of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, is the American com- missioner. Canada's interests are in the hands of Professor W. F. King. chief astronomer of Canada. These two commissioners will remain in the north two months. The survey will not be completed until next season. Allied Trades Involved.

Schulen- berg, who has been looking after Ras- mussen’s interests here, learned that a sale of the property was being nego- tiated by Los Angeles parties. He was surprised to learn that it ad been deeded to a man named Griffin, who had mortgaged it to one Anton Brown and later deeded to him. Brown in turn had deeded the property to Lewis P. Cothenet. Investigation showed that the deed to Griffin was made in British Columbia | by “Nelse Rasmussen.” The handwrit- | ing of the signature on the fraudulent instrument resembled somewhat that of the right Rasmussen, though not sut- ficiently to_decei an expert for a moment. Evidently the forger had made an attempt, however, at a fac simile signature, as noted in the forma- tion of his capitals. The real owner of the property in- volved has not the faintest idea of the identity of his enterprising namesake, and says he has never been in British | Columbia nor had any dealings with any one there, —_— e WEAPON IS DISCHARGED AND LADS ARE INJURED Carelessness in Handling of Shotgun Results in Serious Accident in Mendocino County. UKIAH, Aug. 3—Orne Montzomery | of San Francisco was accidentally shot at Redwood Valley yesterday afternoon and may lose his leg as the result. In company with Ernest Lynch of this| city and T. Thomas of Petaluma Mont- gomery started on a hunting trin. The boys were shooting doves along the road and in some manner the shotgun slipped from the wagon. Young Lynch grabbed for it and as he pulled it over the dashboard the weapon was dis- | charged. A few shot pierced his ear. | Young Thomas’ hand was injured and the remainder of the load took effect in Montgomery’s left leg. Montgomery probably will recover. —_——— Alleged Robbers Captured.

A, WHITNEY'S SON FILES SUIT TO RECOVER SPECIAL TAX NEW YORK, Aug. 3.—Harry Payne Whitney has begun legal proceedings to recover from New York State and Nassau County $21,200 paid by him as part of the transfer tax on real estate in New York comprising a portion of the estate of his father, the late Wil- | liam €. Whitney. The lawyers for | Whitney, with whom Elihu Root is associated, served a notice of appeal torday at Mineola, L. I, William C. Whitney having been a resident of| Nassau County at the time of his) death. The real estate is valued at| 20,000 and the total estate at $22,- | 222,284. A transfer tax of 1 per cent, or $222,222, has been paid by the| Whitney exeeutors. The present ap- peal is to have the collection of a 1 per cent tax on the real estate set aside, because the act under which it was made is declared unconstitutional, | in that a sufficient number of Assem blymen and Senators were not present when it was passed. —_—————— THOUGHT OF TRUNKS, | BUT FORGOT HER BABE | REDDING. Aug. 3.—Mrs. Taylor became so excited to-day when she found that her home was on fire that she got out two trunks and then fainted away without having thought anything about her six-month-old baby sleeping in the house. Had it not been that Mrs. George Cochran, a neighbor, arrived on the scene and realized that the infant was in the burning house the little one would have been incinerated. Pecul- jarly enough, the Taylor home is on the extreme edge of town and no alarm was turned in for fire, as it was be- Heved to be a brush fire on the outskirts of the city. prce BB 2 S AP S M WOMEN MAIL CARRIERS ARE WANTED IN IOWA DES MOINES, Iowa, Aug. 3.—Fe- male mail carrisrs are deemed almost & necessity by Postmaster John Mc- Kay, who has made a recommendation to the department at Washington fa- voring the removal of the ban that now limits the civil service examina- tion for letter carriers to males. “When vou send a woman on an errand,” he said, “she will return in half the time a man will. She does not stop to loiter. We find them equal i and even superior to men in the money order, stamp and other divisions and I favor giving them a trial in the de- livery section.” FOUR NEW INSTRUCTORS APPOINTED BY JORDAN The appointment of four additional in- structors to the faculty of the Englisn department of Stanford University was announced by President Jordan yes- terday.
