Mr. Schmitt, who had just been released from duty as a National Guasdsman at Oakland and still wore his military headgear, then threat- | ened to arrest Mr. Farrell | “But you're not a policeman,” said Mr. Farrell, defiantly, “and if you lay a hand on me I'll jolt you.” | | 0, but I'm greater than a policeman,” onded Mr. Schmitt, evidently for- ‘,’n‘t 1 that he was no longer clothed with litary might, “and if you don’t come | etly with me I'll make you.” So say-| ing he drew a pistol and leveled it at the head of Mr. Farrell “You must show me,” little man, wh said the intrepid | although he was“not from Missouri. And his hands were ascending menacing gesture when the namesake of Lever's daredevil hero intervened By some mischance in the assignment of cases that of Mr. Farrell was sent to Judge Mogan's court and Mr. Schmitt was booked for hearing by Judge Ca- e.

The| opening measure of the chorus, when aug- | mented by trombone effect, is akin to| | the howi of an asthmatic hyena, and the concerted endeavor of the three vocalists to produce the tones without instrumental | ald caused women to sit up in affright, | children to swathe their heads with bed clothing and_strong men to exude cold perspiration | Among the first of the campers to re- |®ain self-possession was W. P. Seeley, |enrolled in the Citizens' Guard, and he it was who traced the raucous terror to its source, arrested its authors and trans- | ferred them to the custody of a r«—gular‘ policeman. They were booked as Charles Floyd, John P. Berry and Robert Dawson, | and when their case was called in Judge | | Cabaniss’ court it was discovered that no | formal complaint against them had been | filed, so there was nothing else to do under the law than dismiss them. Mr. Seeley was there and waxed rather wroth when he learned of the omission that enabled them to escape punishment, his| anger being shared to some extent by the | court as some of the effects of their serenade were recounted. | From the more nervous of the campers | slumber was banished for the remainder of that night and one gentleman of neu- rotic temperament is still impossible to convince that a tornado or cyclone or some other aerological phenomena did not come to augment the city’s record of un- welcome visitations. . “I'm one of the down-and-outs,” said Charles J. Hendrick, booked for drunken- ness, to Judge Shortall, “and I'd like to leave the city.” ‘‘And the city would doubtless be ben- efited by your leaving,” was his Honor's response, “for at this time it can only be burdened by harboring confessed down-and-outs.

The death list at the Morgue is rapidly growing. Each day brings ad- ditional cases, the result of either earthquake or fire and the record has nearly reached the 400 mark. Yes- terday morning the remains of Mich- ael Byrne, a teamster, 65 years of age, was recovered by his son, John Byrne. On Wednesday the younger Byrne re- covered the remains of Mrs. George Taylor while searching for those of his father. Both perished in a lodg- ing house at 112 Natoma street. The remains of Michael Canapa and those of his wife were found in the ruins at Third and Minna streets dur- inmg vesterday afternoon by Canapa's brother, Frank. The man:and his wife conducted a small fruit store on the corner and lived on the premises. When the shock came the building was buried beneath the bricks of an adjoining structure and the unfortu- nate couple could not be rescued be- fore the fire reached them. Late last evening John Stanley re- vorted the finding of the body of his father, Fred Stanley, a letter carrier, in the ruins of the Corona House at Sixth and Folsom. The remains were identified by a shaving mug that near- thém. - - . . g,,f, . i Bake Cases Set.” The sake cases have been 'set for July 10 in the United States Circuit Court.

Should the importers defeat the Gov- sroment on the trial the Custom House will be obliged to refund to the im- porters more than a million dollars paid by them under protest as ex- pessdnties, - . |ing of any as well as the repeal of statutes pro- viding for the taxation of all other | credits is advanced by ~Superior Judge James M. Seawell, noted as one of the ablest jurists of California. Judge Seawell's argument is _con- tained in a communication to James D. Phelan, chairman of the finance committee of the Reconstruction Com- mittee. It is as follows: ; ublished reports of the recen dligu;ls‘(eonr; upon the proposed repeal of | the mortgage tax 1 have mnot observed | that any higher ground has been taken | by the advocates of the repeal than that | the tax discourages the investment of | Eastern capital. 1 read an editoral in| The Call the other day, in which the | constitutional provision, which requires | such taxation, was defended upon the | ground that it prevented double taxa. tion by the requirement that the mort-| gagor must be taxed merely upon the| value of his land after deducting the| value of the security. It is true that, in this respect, the constitutional provision is not subject to objection. But why| should the provision be limited to debts | secured by mortgage? It is not diffi-| cult to demonstrate that all taxation of credits, when all the property of the debtor is assessed at its full value, with- out deducting the amount of his debts, | is double taxation. This is obvious enough in the simple case of a sale upon | credit, of merchandise, where the buyer | is assessed for the full value of the| | merchandise and the seller for tlie debt. | The same is true of the taxation of all| other credits. Then why not abolish the | taxation of credits altogether? When | the present constitution was framed the | Supreme Court had decided that ~the| mortgage tax, then upon the statute| book, operated as double taxation. To meet that decision the framers of the| present constitution inserted the pro- vision which,” while it provides for the | taxation of mortgages, guards against | double taxation and prohibits the mak- agreement by which the| mortgagor may assume payment of the | mortgage tax. Everybody knows tha(,’ this provision does not benefit the bor- rower and that its only effect is to in-| crease the rate of interest. UNEQUAL IN OPERATION. Under our present revenue laws if a debt is not secured by mortgage all the property of the debtor is taxable at its| full vaiue, and the value of the credit| is also assessable to the creditor. I say “assessable’” because, in fact, credits, for | the most part, escape taxation, excep!i“ir any part of the buflding fall'” when owned by corporations, such as| banks, whose books are subject to offi- cial inspection, or by the estate of de-| ceased persons of which an inventory | is filed in the Probate Court. Besides, all assessments being made as of the first Monday in March only those cred- its are taxed which are outstanding on that day, and all others which may be| created during the other 364 days of the | vear are exempt from taxation if they | are not outstanding on the first Monday | in March. So that, besides that double | taxation, the law requiring taxation of | credits is unequal in its operation. Other incongruities of the law may be noticed. A creditor whose credit is not secured by mortgage may deduct from solvent | debts due himself the amount of debts | due by him to other persons, provided | they are residents of this State. Such deduction cannot be made by the owner of any other property than solvent debts due himself, nor by him when his cred- | itor is not a resident of this State, and | there can be no deduction by a creditor | whose debt is secured by mortgage. In| my opinion, and 1 have so held as a | Judge of the Superior Court, the con- | stitutional provision as to the mortgage tax applies only to mortgage of real property, and so far as my information extends no attempt has been made by assessors to apply it to mortgages or pledges of personal property. If the taxation of mortgages is a good thing why not tax mortgages and pledges of personal property? Why not provide that only the value of the chattels mort- gaged or pledged, after deducting the value of the security, shall be assessable to_the debtor? The déstinction in our revenue laws be- tween debts secured by mortgage and those not so secured cannot be justified upon principle; the value of any cred- it depends upon the means of pay- ment owned by the debtor, including all his property not exempt from execution. When the creditor doesn’t hold a mortgage security he has nevertheless a potential lien upon the property of his debtor. He may by means of a judgment and execution sale apply, if necessary, all the property of his debtor not exempt from execution to the pay- ment of his debt. In this sense every debt is secured. But it is only when the se- curity is a mortgage of real property that any deduction is made in the assessment of the property of a debtor. Suppose that all the land in the State is owned by two persons. One sells to the other. If the seller takes a note for the price, secured by a mortgage of the land, there would. under our jaw, be no in- crease in the assessment by reason of the transaction. If however, assessed with- out deduction as before the sale, and be- sides, the vendor would be agsessed for the amount of his note. The assessed value of the property would be increased z_\- one]—hnll by the simple transaction of he sale. OPPORTUNITY / " HAND.

If the mortgage tax is unwise and is ol;;\_b!' to this objection | tly in the large mtage be con- rower, if the taxati taxation in any cast - I8 unequal its application, 't shoul T dbotianea " it there is reason to loeleve that public ogh}zo‘n wogldmnol a) abolition o 3 th propositions might be submitted; %o ithat 1f an abso- lute repeal cannot bd oktained we might still secure temporary, velief..In my opin- ion, we will not soon &e &{M an op- portunity as now to secure the reform. It may well be dbuguw whether the mere repeal of the constitutional provision in question will be sufficient to accom- plish the desired result.

The abolition of the tax on the rity would not necessarily prevent on of the principal obligation. The notes or bonds secured by mortgage might still be tax- A CIRCO CATT NOTIGES TOBE N JUNE 1 Wolf Again Warns Policy Holders to Fil(? : Claims. Will Atiempt to Get an Extension From the Companies. FRINAY Insurance Commissioner Wolf wishes holders of insurance policies to understand clearly that it is neces- | sary that they make proof of loss be- fore June 17. On that date the sixty days provided for in the policies for making claims for loss expires. =it “I wish to say also,” said Commis- | sioner Wolf yesterday, “that the filing | of proof of loss must be done care-| fully, as the matter.is somewhat in- tricate. Claimants must swear to| their statements before a notary pub- | lic. Care must be taken to provide that a true valuation is placed upon everything that was burned. The underwritten must be as fair as he| expects the underwriter to be.” | The Insurance Commissioner will | try to induce all the companies repre- sented by policies in the late fire to extend the time for making proof of loss to 90 days, but this does not les- sen the necessity that each policy AV 25 T PUTER TAKES BURNG’ HAND Timber Land Grafter - Praises Detective for Grit. Would Have Shot Him| but for His Fair Treatment. l For the first time s’inca their des- perate struggle in the postoffice sta-| tion in Boston last March, United States Secret Service Agent Wiliam J. Burns and S. A. D. Puter, timber land grafter, met face to face yes- terday. The meeting took placé in the office of United States Marshal Shine, after Puter had been taken from United States Commissioner Heacock’s room. | Puter smiled when he saw the de- tective and held out his hand, this time without a pistol in it. “I want to shake hands with you, Puter,” said the detective promptly, “to show that I have no hard feelings against you, and I hope that you feel the same toward me." Puter grasped the extended hand cordially and replied, “Billy Burns, you are one of the nerviest men 1 ever met in my life. You fought me like a tiger while I had my gun in my hand, and you had the greatest grit of any man I ever saw. I am glad now that I didn’t kill you when I had | the chance. 1 don't think I would | have tried to kill you unless you- had stung me with a bullet. But you al-| ways did treat me square, Billy, and | here’s my hand on it.” ¢ | When United States Marshal Shine and Deputy United States Marshal No- lan brought Puter from the Alameda jail they did not take any chances with the man who had made so dax- ing an escape from the secret ser- vice officer in Boston, and before they took him out of the place they clasped his wrists with a pair of new steel )LDBERG, BOWEN & CO. “* Our three remaining stores, two in San Francisco "and one in Oakland, are filling all orders received as promptly as present conditiolp will permit.

This application may be denied because there are no funds available with which to pay immediately owing to the smallness of the appropriation for the. Insurance Commissioner’s bureau, | but some way may be devised to meet | the emergency speedily. | The insurance committee of the gen- eral committee of forty met yesterda: morning in closed executive session at Century Hall. Recommendations of a sweeping nature were adopted and| opinions given in regard to the pay-| ment by the insurance companies on property damaged by earthquake or | destroyed by dynamite. The report, | as handed out by the committee fol- lows: ! We are advised that some of the in- surance companies are doing what is fair and intend to adjust losses speedily and justly. Others have not vet been able to surmount the condittons, so-that we can with any degree of certainty report as to what they will or will not do. Still others, either through choice or the ex- igencies of the situation, are following a ggllcy of deception and evasion that is th annoying and susplcious. We are of the opinion that the defenses based upon the. earthquake clauses a.nal 2n dynamite use will in general be of no avail to the insurance companies and advise against any deduction being made by the insured, based upon an argument of that kind alone. We advise that all insured should at once serve two written papers upon the insurance companies—one designated as a notice and simply stating that they suffered damage at a certain place on a stated date and that they were insured: the second, a more formal document, designated a proof of loss and notifyin the company of the amount of loss ans the character of the property damaged | and where and when. The proof of loss | should be sworn to before a notary public. | Both of these papers should be served igBtthllh and positively before June 10, | Of the many suggestions made there are only two which we think the com- mittee of forty should consider. One to employ a force of clerks superintended by a skilled insurance man to inspect and supervise proofs of loss for the insured who_have losses and do not know what to do and who will assist in enforcing the collection of the demands. Second, to organize a corporation and charge policyholders a fixed percentage for taking charge of and attempting to collect the face of the policies, the profit, if any, to be paid into the relief fund. Both of these Fropouals involve respon- sibilities and obligations which the com- mittee of forty should discuss and de- termine. Respectfully, 7 A kUEF.

S. Stanley Distilling Company of Cincinnati, O., swore to a complaint be- fore Police Judge Mogan yesterday charging Alvin A. Patterson with felony embezzlement. Patterson was an agent of the company, and it is alleged that on May 5 he embezzled sixty barrels of whisky, valued at $3000. Patterson was one of the three men ar- rested last Saturday by Detective O'Dea for stealing trunks from the St. Francis Hotel and the Union League (dub, and they have been detained at the Stanyan- street police station since that time. After Buchow swore to the complaint against Patterson he was taken from the station to the branch county jail by Deputy Sher- iff Holland. He will appear before Judge Mogan this morning. ‘When Patterson was questioned as to what he had done with the sixty barrels of whisky he said hé had given the cer- tificates to a lawyer in Oakland because, he alleged, the company was indebted to him for commission. He refused to give the name of the lawyer. ——o0 ADVENTUROUS CAREER OF BOYS NIPPED IN THE BUD One Steals Coin From His Father, and He and Others Make Off With a Tent.
