LOCAL ASSESSMENTS.
The State Equalizers Regard
Them as Too Low.

Mayor Sanderson and other leading Off
cials at the new City Hall yesterday were
surprised by the visit of j. c. Hebron and
E. B. Moorehouse of the State Board of
Equalization. The object of the visit was
soon learned when Moorehouse began to
express his dissatisfaction at the assessment
roll as prepared by Assessor Siebe. His
colleague expressed similar sentiments
They do not think the totals of the assess
ment-roll are high enough, and that they
contain certain estates which do not make
the showing they should. They stated that
II was the duty OF the Board of Supervisors
to look alter the assessment-roll and see
that it was properly made, and asked Mayor
Sanderson to call special meeting for that
purpose. The Mayor informed them that
the board would meet as Board of EQuali-
zation tomorrow morning, and they Will be
present.
The State officers claim that Assessor
Siebebas, In sumo cases, assessed estates
much lower than the Inventory In the Pro-
bate Court From their remarks 1t is evil

effort to raise the local assessment in many
cases.

TOTALLY DRUNK.
More Testimony Taken in the
AleXine Case.

Tonight those fourteen little Russian
boys, about whom SO much has been said
and written, will be placed on the stand in
Judge Worley,s court and given chance to
tell what they know about E. P. Alexine.
The trial was resumed last night. Two
witnesses were examined by the prosecn-
ton, and the testimony taken sayored
throughout of soiled linen as heretofore.
Father George of the Gr8co-Russian Church
was first called to the stand. He said that
he had frequently seen Mr.. Alsxine under
the influence of drink, and that he was
sometimes harsh in his treatment of the pu-
pills. Witness produced petitinn that he
received from the buys on April Sd. The
paper. which was in Russian, was read by
the Interpreter. 1t stated that the boys
were very much dissatisfied with their con-
dition, and asked to have Superintendent
Alexine removed. They were not given
and dirty. ''We would like to be taken out
of the school and sent home" was the con-
Guiding sentence in the petition.
3. Levin, brother Of Father Joseph
Levin. next took the stand. He could
speak English fairly well, he said, but as he
thought mostly in Russian, he desired TO
use the interpreter, as he could thereby
give better expression. Like his brother,
b. Levin had been in Alaska for some time,
and since his return he had visited the school
but few times. He noticed the unhappy
condition of the boys, however. on Sun
days when he went to the church to sing.
In the cross-examination, Attorney Ames
asked The witness if he had a suit pending
against Bishop Vladimir TO collect S35 per
month for the past two years. He was not
allowed 10 answer On numerous occasions
he had seen E. p. Alexine drunk at tine
school. When asked to state how full the
gentleman was, he promptly replied, "He
was totally drunk"
Court then adjourned until tonight.

AN AFFLICTED FAMILY.

The Father Blind, One Boy Dead, and
the Other in Jail.
Eddie McNamee. aged 10, died suddenly
at 1 80 o'clock yesterday afternoon at his
home, IL Moultrie street About five weeks
ago the boy was thrown from horse, land
ing on his head. He soon recovered from
the injury, to all appearances, and went to
school as usual Yesterday, while scufflng
with his playmates, the boy received a
slight blow on the head. He went home,
complaining Of feeling dizzy, took to his
bed and died In a few minutes. 1t is
thought now that the skull was fractured at
the time of falling from the horse. The
fracture had not healed, and the blow yes
terday opened it again. causing the death of
tho little fellow.
The family Is in hard circumstances. The
father has been blind for two years, leaving
the mother and the eldest boy, aged 10, TO
support the family. About month ago a
man named Connolly, who claimed to be a
private detective from Iowa, made his ap-
pearance in the neighborhnod where the
McNamees lived. he exercised his author
ity over the boys in that vicinity for few
days, threatening them with arrest il they
did not behave. The bluff worked for q
while, but one day CT ovid of the boys at
tackled the detective and gave him beat
ing. During the fuss the detective said he
was robbed. The boy is now in cell at
the City Prison awaiting trial.

IN SYLVAN SHADES.
The Call Chapel and Friends Have
an Outing.

Under the sylvan shades of Fortunes
Grounds In the beautiful Niles Canyon THE
MORNING CALL Chapel held its first annual
private picnic yesterday. The jolly COM
positors and hundreds of their friends, who
were SO fortunate as to secure an invitation,
turned out in full force and made the lovely
hills and dales mile beyond Niles ring
with music and mirth unrestrained.
The special train that departed at s sc
O'Clock in the morning was crowded with the
happy excursionistS. In fact there was
greater number than had been ex-
pected, but there was plenty of room for all
to enjoy themselves and each and every one
did enter into the festivities with will. Old
Probs favored the picnickers with perfect
day and the park never appeared to better
advantage.
Arriving at the grounds lunch baskets
were unpacked and the many good things,
including salids and liquids, were partaken
OF with relish in the cool shades of the
gigantic oaks. 1t is scarcely necessary to
say that the picnic was decided success in
every sense of the word.
1t surprised the employees of THE CALLS
composing TO see such great gather
ing OF their friends, but the genial typos
spared no pains in entertaining their guests,
ana their efforts were crowned with success.
Among those who visited the grounds
while the picnic was in progress were
Loring Pickering, proprietor OF the paper,
and family, and r. A. Crothers, business
manager Mr.. Pickering was greatly
pleased at the manner in which all enjoyed
themselves.
Music of high order of merit was dis
eoursed by Blum's Band, and dancing was
one of the favored pastimes. In all, the
dancing programme Included seventeen
numbers.
During lull in the dancingian interesting
musical and literary programme was rem
dered on the platform. Harry White, the
well-known printer and proof-reader, sang
one OF his beautiful ballads, and received
an encore that threatened to shake down
the dancing platform. The efforts of win
}. White and Edward Belcher, who sang
''Larboard Watch" were literally APP
plauded. Edward Carr gave thrilling
recitation, Thomas Abrams favored the
assemblage with a sweet song, and Edward
Beicher rendered solo.
Shadows were beginning to dance over the
charming canyon when the picnickers
departed with reluctance to take the home
ward-bound train. On the whole the ex-
cursionists formed one of the iolliest and
most good-natured crowds that ever went
to the country for days outing. No acct
dent or unpleasant incident occurred to mar
the pleasures of the day.
That the affair was such success was
undoubtedly due in a great measure to the
efforts and perfect arrangements of the
following gentlemen, who formed the COM
mittee having charge: j. w. Butler, M. d.
Orr. II. NJ. Ward, NJ. Lynch, F. A. Mooney
and G.. Il, DYER

General Yandever's Opinion of t

General Yandever's Opinion of the
Farmers Alliance.
General William Vandeyer of Ventura,
who represented the Sixth Congressional
District from 1886 to 1890, is at the Ocei-
dental for few days, and in the course Of
an interview with CALL reporter yester-
day, said that Ventura and Santa Barbara
counties, as we'll as the other southern
counties, are warmly interested in the
preparations for the Worlds Fair, and are
waiting for the California State Commission
to take some action regarding county
organization.
"In common with nearly everybody
else" said General Vandever, 81 think II
is to be deplored that California could not
have united in presenting an acceptable
man as Chief of the Horticultural Bureau.
Almost any of the candidates mentioned
would have my approval, and in the present
status OF the matter the people in my sec
tion would be especially pleased with the
appointment Of either j. de Barth Shorb or
ElwOod Cooper, both of whom have large
local acquaintance. l am afraid, however,
that New York man Will receive the place
and this will be an unfortunate thing for
California, whose interests are not properly
appreciated in the East. This fact was ex-
emplitied during my last term in the House.

stituents."

your seeton?" General Vaudever was
asked.

enthusiasm Is rather premature and that

met last night at the Guadaloupe Dairy on

In the course of his eloquent and power

the preceding Christian centuries. This
point the speaker elaborated at some length
and supported by strong array of facts
and figures, mentioning. among other in
stances, that more than 5000 converts were
baptized in single day in India last year.
DR.. Peck concluded by f0rceful appeal
for funds, which the society urgently
needed for the demands made on them for

address. The physicians in charge told
him that Sunday and Wednesday were the

the condition of Mrs. Cunningham becam g
more serious. II seems. however, that they
failed to keep the promise.
On Wednesday Cunningham went out to
the hospital and was alarmed by discover
Ing that his wife was in an unconscious
condition and apparently sinking rapidly.
The doctors allayed his fears, but he was SC
anxious that he obtained permit from the
Board of Health and returned to the insti-
tuition. He was coolly informed that his
wife had died Mt 80 o'clock in the morn
ing and that her remains could be seen in
the dead-house. Cunningham hurried to
the ''morgue" and was Mortified by the
sight that met his eyes. The body had
been disemboweled and was otherwise terri

Asked for an explanation, the physicians
would make no other statement than that il
had been necessary to perform an autopsy.
They did not inform him OF the cause OF
death. The grieved husband is dissatisfied
with the explanation. and will call the at
