HAYNER WHISKEY — vate secretary and general understudy. From the doughty veteran he has re- ceived the best of political training, but hé lacked the stimulus of having his own way to make in the world. In features he closely resembles his father at the same age, but he has none of the latter’s masterful aggres- siveness and love of conflict. of his gentleness and urbanity he was dubbed “Lulu" at schpol and as “Lulu” Harcourt he has been known ever since. It is not a nick- name that suggests future greatness. ! But men have gone far in public life who were not aggressive and despite the handicap of an effeminate nick- name. Of this Arthur Balfour, Premier, to whom Lord Rosebery sometimes contemptuously “Pretty Fanny,” is a conspicuous ex- ample. And so, though “Lulu” Har- court has nothing of the political fighter about him, he may yet realize the great hopes which his father en- tertained of him. HIS WIFE AN AMERICAN. In one important respect he may be said not only to have- followed his father’s example, but to have bettered the instruction. Sir Willlam’s second wife, who survives him, is a charming and brilliant American woman, daugh- ter of John Lathrop Motley, the his- torian. “Lulu” Harcourt has begun his matrimonial career with an Amer- ican wife. Five years ago he married Mary Ethel, the eldest daughter of the late Walter H. Burns of New York. She was an heiress and brought him a fortune, but it was a love match for all that, there being no title or prospect of one to figure in the matter. Another American marriage had previously taken place among the Vernons, the titled branch of the family. Lord Ver- non, the seventh Baron, married a daughter of Francis C. Lawrence of New York, and the present Lord Ver- non, a lad of 16, is her son. Partisan friends were not more con- spicuous than political foes at the me- morijal services held in Sir Willlam Harcourt's honor. Their presence was a tribute not merely to the eminent | character of his public service, but to the popularity of the man himself. The latte® was a matter of slow growth. Only in recent years have those who differed from him politi- /| cally come to recognize that this Titan of debate, so masterful, vehement and dashing of speech, so ready with the brilliant and biting epigram, was really a man of the most generous and kind- 1y feeling. ~But in the Parliamentary arena he fought only to win and as- sailed those who opposed him with merciless ferocity. His ancestors had been mighty warriers -and' the same fighting blood filled his veins. ' OF NORMAN DESCENT. A Liberal in politics, he was a ma- jestic type of the born aristocrat. He stood over six feet and was bullt throughout on'the same massive scale. Norman descent showed in every line of his face. Both the Vernons and the Harcourts trace back their history to the time of William the Conqueror, with whom they came to Britain. The Harcourts have played important partj in English national history from the time of the battle of Hastings. There 1s still a Norman branch of the family, headed by the Duc d’Harcourt. Scions of the famous house have figured in the forefront of French history, no fewer than four of them having Jbeen mar- shals of France. . v . “I can’t stand Harcourt,” said a Lib- eral once; “he uses such strong lan- Because | familiarly | the | refers as| 1904, DODGE ADVISES TAT PROTESTS Assessor Tssues Statement That Courts Are to Pass on Legality of Bond Levy PORTION IS IN DISPUTE Refunds Hinge on Formal Objection Being Made to Items Open to Question Auegsor Washington Dodge yester- day issued a statement calling atten- tion to the fact that the tax levied fory the interest and sinking fund of the bond issue is now before the courts for adjudication as to its legality and advising that taxpayers flle a formal protest against that portion of the levy when settling their obligations with the city. Dodge's statemeat, which is self-explanatory, follows: “To the Taxpayers of San Francisco: “The first installment of taxes on real estate Is now due. Many taxpay- ers, especially the smaller taxpayers, will pay without gquestion or pro- !test the amount called for by their tax bills. The majority, if not all, of these taxpayers are ignorant of the fact that the le- gality of a part of their taxes is open to question and the courts have been | called upon to pass upon the matter. | Should the courts decide that a por- | tion of the taxes for this year have | been illegally levied, those who pay | the same without protest may be un- | able to secure a repayment of this por- i | tion of their taxes by the city. “Many of the banks, our largest cor- porations and taxpayers are now pay- ing their taxes under protest, so far| as the amount in dispute is concerned. | In this matter they are following the same course pursued by them in the disputed tax raised for a new hospital and for sewers. “As a result of this action they have | had no trouble in collecting from the city the amounts which they paid for | these purposes and which the courts have since declared to have been illegal; while the smaller taxpayers have not been able to collect what they | paid, owing to the fact that they did | not file a protest against paying the same at the' time at which they paid | | their taxes. In this year's taxes there is included a tax of about 123 cents| on-each $100 of assessed property, or | $1 25 on each $1000 of assessed prop- erty, for the purpose of paying the interest on the new bonds to be issued for public improvements and for the | redemption of the same. The matter | has been carried into the court, the | claim being advanced that it was im- | proper and illegal to include this item in the tax levy of this year. | “Should the courts uphold this con- tention the city would be compelled | tc refund the taxes so collected and | | those who had filed a protest at the | t!ime of paying their taxes would have | {no trouble in collecting the rebate.! | Had it not been for this extra tax, which had to be collected for the pur- pose of these bonds this year, this city lwould have had one of the lowest tax 1rales in its history. The rate would have been under $153 and taxes | would have been less instead of | greater than formerly. As it is the tax rate is about the average tax rate| for the past few years, namely, $1 65, | {and yet the city is raising about | | $1,000,000 for public improvements {and public improvement bonds in ex- |cess of the amount raised for this | purpose heretofore. “The fact that this city is enabled | to raise this year the sum of $1,000,000 |for bonds and public improvements | without increasing its tax rate is due | entirely to the fact that the assessment | rcll was increased this year on real estate $87,000,000. Without this in- crease in values all taxpayers would have been compelled to pay taxes at the rate of about $1 80, or an increase { | | {of $150 in taxes on each $1000 of| | property. | “WASHINGTON DODGE, ‘‘Assessor.” ’ ——————— Election Day at the Postoffice. | The general delivery of the main Postoffice on Washington street will be open from 8 a. m. to 1 p. m. on | election day.

And ultimately the land came to him, too. | \ Behind that lies a sad romance. When Colonel Harcourt died—he and Sir Wil- | liam despite their political differences were the dest of friends—the estate | passed to his only son, Aubrey Har-| court. When a young man this son had | been engaged to a young lady of great| beauty and intellect, Miss Liddell, a daughter of Dean Liddell of Oxford. | The wedding day had been fixed, but) within a few hours of the time that the ; ceremony was to take place she sick- ened and died. For r~early twenty | years Aubrey Harcourt remained true to her memory. And thus it came about that Sir William Harcourt inher- ited as his nephew’s heir the magnifi- | cent family seat, Nuneham Park, which | pow passes to “Lulu” Harcourt.
