RUNNING FIRE.
A Close Call for the Life
Saving Station.
The Crew Fight Flames Instead of
the Breakers-The Park Pre-
serves in Danger.

A report was received by Major Blakeney.
superintendent OF the life-saying service on
this coast yesterday announcing that for the
past week the crew OF the Golden Gate life-
saving station have been engaged daily, not In
saving lives, but fighting fire. The sanddunes
which extend along the south side OF the park,
fully TWO miles from The ocean, aioug the line
OF the Park and Ocean Railroad, have been
planted with heavy grass imported for the
purpose of holding the sands from shifting.
and both the railroad company and owners OF
private lands have supplemented the work OF the
Park Commissioners until the sands for mile
and more along the track are covered with The
grass mentioned.
OF late the grass has become very dry, and
the locomotives In passing have started fires IN
1t by the sparks or live cInders thrown from the
stack. Unul last week these occasional fires
have amounted 10 but the burning OF a few
lunches OF grass, but on Wednesday last lire
was started in the grass near the Golden Gate
Life Saving Station. where the Government has
upward of $4,000 worth of property, and
burned so rapidly that not only the station but
the wooden tunnel Of the railway was in dan
ger. The life-Savng men got the fire out only
to have the next train set II going again, and
this time the tram had TO stop, and the crew
and passengers joined the life-saverS in hight
ing the fire. During the day no less than five
fires were discovered In the grass. and both
the Park Commissioners and the railroad
officials have been warned of the danger in
future,

STANFORD'S HEIRS
Resist the Tax on Their
Inheritance.
Judge Coffey Appoints an Appraiser
Against the Protest of One
of the Parties.

There was a lively discussion in Judge
Cotfey's court yesterday among at orneys in-
terested IN the estate of Leland Stanford.
The trouble arose over the enforcement OF
the collateral inheritance act. which was passed
by the last Legislature. Treasurer Widber
came forward with an application for the
appointment of an appraiser TO estimate the
Inheritance Of each heir to the estate. in order
that the proper dues might be collected.
Attorney Edward r. Taylor vigorously op-
posed the application. He represented the
interests of his wife. niece of the late Senator,
whose legacy under the Will amounted 10
100000. Under the act in question the
collateral Inheritance tax on this bequest
would come 10 $1,000. and this Mr.. Taylor
claimed was most unfair. He said the provi-
sions of the act were most incongruous and
quite absurd; that they favored certain lega.
tees to the prejudice OF others.
For instance, he argued. two brothers OF the
late Senator were bequeathed 100000 apiece.
while the same legacy was devised to each
child OF deceased brother. Mrs. Taylor was
one of those children. Was it fair that Stan
ford's brothers should pay no Inheritance tax
DIT all while his client had TO pay $4,000? Any
way it would be ridiculous TO appoint any APP
pralser al that time, as the legacles were not
due 10 be paid until next year aud the time set
for filing claims against the estate did not ex-
piTe until May ~ next Supposlng 20 the end
the estate proves 10 be iDsovenI would not a
manifest Injustice be done to one who had
Judge Coffey thought otherwise. He said
| that no doubt the matter would be carried 10
the Supreme Court. but In the meantime he
would appoint an APP raiser No one volunteer
ing a suggestion be thought that the place
would be well taken by Elliott McAlister. Sen
atOr for Marin and Contra Costa counties.
Mr.. Taylor thought the appointment a good
one, especially as it was McAllister who had
presented the Inheritance bill 10 the Legsa-
ture.
Russell Wilson assented to this. and sug-
geSted that the appointment was fitting pun
ishment TO McAllister for his past sins In that
direction.
The matter was then concluded. Tomorrow
the same proceedings will come up with regard
TO the appralsement of inheritance IN Santa
County. District Attorney Barnes will be
present TO argue that the Santa Clara courts
have no jurisdiction in the matter, and in this
contention be Will be supported by all the
lawyers connected with the Stanford estate.
