The Amount of Money to Be Raised for General Pur- poses Is Not So Great Oakland Office S8an Francisco Call, 1016 ‘Breoadway, Sept. 19. The Board of Supervisors to-day fixed the tax levy within incorporated towns at $1 49 on the $100, and $1 72 on the $100 in the outside districts. the inside rate was $1 37 and the out- Last year! side rate $1 84. The increase in the rate | is accounted for by the decrease in the base upon which the rate is calculated. Last year the State Board of Equali- zation arbitrarily raised the assessment of Alameda County to $138,000,000. “This year the assessment totals but $109,0 000, a difference of nearly $20,000,000 18ss this year than last. With the rate raised as it is it is sald that less money will be raised than last year, notwith- standing the natural increase attendant upon tifé growth of the county. County Superintendent of Schools Crawford won ‘a partial victory before the board in regard to the levy for|’ school purposes. The following is the rate as finally fixed by the boar State tax, .535; county general, ; county infirmary, -10; schools, .27; expositions, .01; total, §1 49. For outside districts must be added the road tax of .35, making a total of $1 84. DINNER DANCE By Zoe Green Radcliffe.

OAKLAND, Sept. 19. — Alameda County now has but one Democratic newspaper. Formerly there were double that number, but Daniel Mc- Carthy, proprietor and editor of the San Leandro Reporter, has decided to support President Roosevelt in the Presidential campaign, ‘leaving the Livermore Herald, owned by A. L. Henry, the only Democratic paper in the county. Ever since the establishment of the San Leandro Reporter Mr. McCarthy has been a stanch champion of the Democratic party, but the sterling qualities of the present chief executive have won him over and he announces his determination to support Roosevelt ir the following editorial: It 1s the fate of the strong man to make enemies. e very attributes of character which lift him above the ordinary level create an opposition_that is always too bitter to do him justice. Weak men also arouse opposition, but it 1s of the kind that despises rather than hates. The difference is due to the fact that the strong man fights after the manner of a valiant soldler, pressing straight onward to the goal and forcing obstacles aside as he advances, while the weak man .zigzags along, making detours and resorting to tricks to save himself from being driven back into the ob- scurity he merits, At this time one of the strong men of the United States is the nominee of & great party for President. His name is Theodore Roose- velt. As a Police Commissioner of New York city, as Governor of New York State, as Vice- Predident of the United States and as President he has proved his strength. He has made enemies, and his enemies are a credit to him. If the men and Interests who are now fight- ing him wvere his friends their support would make him less worthy of the confidence of the people. ———————— PENSION MONEY GOES BACK TO THE TREASURY Appropriation by Congress Proves to Have Been Unnecessarily Large. WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.—For the first time in the history of the Government money ap- propriated for pensions is now going back to the Treasury. This is due, according to re- ports from the Pension Bureau, to the fact that under the executive pension order only 45,000 new pensioners have applied. When this order was issued it was expected that the num- ber to apply under its provisions would reach at least 200,000, and $1,500,000 was appropri- “ated. The Pension Bureau has been able to find only 18303 veterans who are mot tecelving some kind of a pension and 28,806 who coul got an increase under the order. Consequently, of the $1.500,000 appropriated only $90,000 has been used, —————————— DIES WHILE ON WAY TO VISIT HIS SON Aged Man Traveling to San Francisco Suddenly Expires on a Train.

Just as he was boarding the train at the Sixteenth-street station at 7 o’clock this evening on his way to the ‘World’s Fair at St. Louis, Captain Jo- svph J. Agard, a well-known insurance adjuster of San Francisco, living at 1331 Filbert street in this city, was jystricken with heart disease. He sank lifeless at the feet of his wife and daughter, who were to have accom- panied him on his trip. Death came without the slightest warning and was entirely unexpected, as Captain Agard had always been in apparently robust health. It was at first thought that he had fainted, but an examination proved that life was extinct. The body was removed to the family residence. - The deceased was 68 years of age and had lived in Oakland for several years. Besides his wife he leaves two chil- dren, a daughter, Miss Merta V. Agard, who lives at the family home in this city, and a son, Arthur M. Agard, who is a teacher at Anderson’s Academy in Irvington.

Y., Sept. 19.—The majority of the 450 delegates who will constitute the Democratic State Convention, called to meet here at noon to-morrow, are in Saratoga. The net result of to-day's developments is the se- lection of Duncan Campbell Lee of Ithaca to be permanent chairman of the convention and George Raines of Rochester to be chairman of the committee on resolutions. Otherwise, according to the most authorita- tive Information obtainable to-night, the sit- uation stands as it stood last Thursday night when Judge Parker left New York City after his series of conferences with various leaders. It is the general impression that agreements will be reached and the question of the nomi- nation for the Governorship settled in confer- ence, go that only one name shall be presented to the convention and the nomination be made unanimously. There is no dimisution in the undercurrent of feeling, which has been in_ evidence since the delegates began to gather, that unless some compromiss become necessary the convention will nominate Edward M. Shepard of Brook- lyn. The belief is prevalent that Shepard has the support of the nationa' leaders and this gives strength to the Shepard movement. Senator McCarren to-day declared himself uralterably opposed to the nomination of Shepard and announced without qualification that if Shepard be nominated it must be with- out the aid or consent of Kings County, ——— e ‘Williams as a Joker. It was in February last that John Sharp Willilams' leadership of the mi- nority in the House of Representatives had so spread his fame that he was widely talked about as of Presidential caliber. An enterprising but unsophis- ticated young newspaper man sought the Mississippian for information as to any movement in his favor. Mr. Wil- llams, with well dissembled gravity, as- sured the reporter that everything was auspicious for his boom. Recent reports from Mississippl especially were highly encouraging. ‘“Toomsuba, Ofanoma, Noxopater, Nanachehaw, Toccopola, Tabbville and Grubbs Springs, I am told,” he said, ‘are already for me, while T have every reason to believe that I shall have the undivided support of such places as Nittayuma, Wahalak, Bolatusha, Hush- pukena, Pelahatchies, Mittayuma, Es- tabutchee, Ittabena, Scutch, Cinqupin, Pawtickfaw, Octoc, Leggo, Yellow Rab- bit, Chunkey Station, Hambone, Deovo- lente and Whynot. 3 ‘When the reporter had sufficiently re- covered to scrutinize the countenance of the Mississippi statesman he asked: “How do you spell those?” Mr. Willlams patiently and with dig- nified deliberation spelled the words. The reporter took it all down and went away with a quizzical look, almost as quizzical as that with which the minor- ity leader disappeared within the swing- ing doors of the House.—Harper's Weekly. ——— Queen Amelie of Portugal. Queen Amelie of Portugal, who has been visiting some of her friends in Paris and other Continental cities, looks back on a romantic career and is an interesting personality. She is a daugh- ter of the Comte de Paris, and during the first exile of her parents spent most of her girthood in England. Don Carlos of Portugal saw her portrait in London and fell in love with it. The wooing was not long a-doing, and the mar- riage aroused so much interest and en- thusiasm in France that it quite alarmed the French Government and indirectly led to the final banishment of the royal bride's unfortunate father. Queen Amelie is a woman of many dif- ferent interests and tastes. She {s the only Queen who has in a serious sense studied medicine, and thanks to her ef- forts Lisbon now boasts of one of the best model hospitals in. Europe.

The exports of artificial silk from Germany to the United States, as far as I am able to find, for the year ended June 30, 1303 amounted to $319,068 88, of which $1815480 11 was exported from this district and $137,688 77 from that of Aix la Chapelle.

The whole town is absolutely in the power of the mob. This morning shopkeepers and store proprietors rebelled conjoint- ) ly and opened their places of business. i This led to general disorders, as the strike leaders insisted on their closing.

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—Edwin Hawley's election to the directorate of the Western F cific suggests In the mfinds of many the likeli- hood of an alliance between the Western P cific and the Colorado Southern, in which the Hawley interests are dominant. No_explanation of his election to the West- ern Pacific board was given by Hawley, It was pointed out, however, by interests con- nected with the Western Pacific that th~ Den- ver and Rio Grande reaches Salt Lake, the terminus of the Western Pacifie, and the Den- ver and Rio Grande, with the Colorado South- ern, controls the Colorado Midland. The Western Pacific management, wishing to establish friendly relations with the Gould and_Hawley lines, elected a Gould director in Edwin T. Jeftery, president of the Denver and Rio Grande. Wall street popularly believes that the Western Pacific is a Gould proposition and will so develop when the enterprise has reached a_more tangible shape than at present. —————— ROBBERS KILL TWO MEN AND WOUND A THIRD Italian Section Employes Make Dis- astrous Attempt to Save Their Money.
