A FORTUN Assessor of Alameda County Has/ the Right to Retain Fifteen Per Cent of All Collections of Poll Tax LAWS IN QUESTION i ARE INHARMONIOUS Supreme Court Makes an End to Legal A Controversy of| Six Years’ Standing and| Involving - About $22,00()1 - T RS ARE Assessor Henry P. Dalton of Alameda | County, after six yvears of litigation, has won his fight to retain fifteen per. cent | of the poll tax receipts. The- Supreme. Court handed down its decision in: the | case yesterday and under the rulings the | official affected will become ‘a’, much | richer man. - The judgment of the -eourt may possibly have & wider application. | which would bring wagonloads .. of money to the doors of the Assessors of San Francisco and Los Angeles. “That | point will be given serious consideration | forthwith. 7 | That Assessor Dalton is enabled togget | a trifle more than’$22,000 in’ addition to his salary for the last sif years is due to the wisdom of the solons who gathered at Sacramento and on.one and the same In the ¢lassification. .of ;counties, Ala- medd ranks third. The County ernments . Act, section 160, provides that in countjes: of “the third ¢ cla sor shall receive no commission for the collection of poll or other taxes. His salary is “in®full compensation” for all his services. LATER LAW PREVAILS. Section 215 of the same act provides that the Assessors of all the counties shall receive as commissions six per cent on personal property taxes, fifteen per cent on poll and road poll taxes and $ a hundred for supplying the names of those qualified for -military duty. It is specially provided, however, that in counties, and city and counties of the first, second and third classes that the Assessors “shall receive no' commission for the collection of road poll or per- sonal property taxes or for furnishing the names of those eligible for military duty. In this law there is no reserva- tion made of the fifteen per cent commis- first, The attorneys for ,Alameda County came into court armed with_a copy of| section 160. Dalton's lawyefs had for| their weapon section 215. The Supreme Court after careful consideration finds | that the laws in question are absolutely contradictory, that there is no way in which they can be *“harmoniously blend- ed"” and that it is “impossible for them to be reconciled.” The question then is one merely of intentlon. = Section 215 having been acted supposediy after sec- | tion 160, is deemed on that accourt to represent the ripe and mature judgment of the legislators. RULF IS EVIDENT. The court says that in matters of this kind the rule of age must be appiled in- exorably. The authorities are all agreed apparently on that proposition. The latest must be the vest.

Assessor Dodge attempted to | collect fifteen per cent on poll taxes but | was defeated in the Supreme Court. The point on which Assessor Dalton has { won his case was not presented in be- half of Dodge. The latter was given an increase of $4000 a year in salary to com- | | pensate him for the loss of the com- | missions. The opinion which was handed down yesterday was written by Justice Lorigan with whom Justices Henshaw and McFarland directly concur. These jurists constitiite Department Two of the |'Supreme Court. It is quite within the! range of possibilities that on petition the case may be returned to the entire | { court in bank and that the other four |'Justices may take a contrary view. It is certain that the fight will be carried to I'the end and a petition for a rehearing |'may shortly be expected. & [GRAH AM UNRAVELS DOMESTIC TANGLE Reconciles Husband and Wife and Quiets Lit- tle One. A most_unusual domestic upset was righted by Superior Judge Grabham yes- ferday when Kate and Thomas Dunne walked forth from his courtroom, rec- onciled and leading between them the little daughter of the husband, who, a moment before, had said between her sobs, “I do not want to go back | and live with-a woman. I just want to be with my ‘her.” S Quite recently Dunne sued his wife | to annul their . marriage, asserting that when he wedded her she was the wife of Michael Dorman. now l;r‘e::xm:lbly a resident of the stirring camp of Leadville, Colo. In 1895 the then Mrs. Dorman filed suit against Dorman for divorce, and while the litigation was pending went to the al- tar with Dunne. Though she subse- quently secured her decree of divorce from Dorman, Dunne seized upon the fact of their illegal marriage as an easy means to end a quarrel of long standing in which they were engaged. n answer to his suit for annulment Mrs. Dunne filed suit for a divorce, charging cruelty. Yesterday the cases were on the cal- endar for trial and Dunne presented evidence In support of his Then Mrs. Dunne was about to present her proofs, when Judge Graham said to her: “Madam, this is a - most unusual matrimenial tangle. Do you not think that you and Mr. Dunne can recoucile your differences and take measures to mend what now seems '- be the brok- en thread of your legal union?” Mrs. Dunne said that swe nad no bitterness In her heart for her hus- band and 'if he were willing she would return to him. He made no protest and then Dunne’s little daughter began to cry, protesting-against the return to | | | charges. | Tlrfl(n" ‘Wife’s Life. Mrs. Annie McEiroy, 15 Powell street, ob- tained a warrant from Police Judge Cabaniss yesterday for the arrest of her husband, ert, on a charge of threats against life She sald that they recently arrived from Pittsburg and he had been living off her earnings as a masseuse. Because she had refused to give him more meéney uniess he went to work he ha threatened to biow her brains out.

Half an hour later they emerged, all apparently happy and with the announced determinatioh to remove any question as to the legality of their marriage and to see that in the future the little girl shall have no occasion to sob with grief over the unkind’ fate that robbed her of her mother.
