WHANANDCRA
Two Deputy Assessors
Reinstated.
The Charges of lncivility and Bru-
tally Brought by Mrs. Palmer
Are Dismissed.

Chief Deputy Assessor HeIZer, at the
request of Assessor Siebe, made an in
yestigation yesterday afternoon into the
charges OF iacivility and brutality brought
against Field Deputies. w. w. Nhan aud j.
w. Cramer by Mrs. NJ. Palmer, who is the
landlady of a clearinghouse at 1924 Geary
street. Mrs. Palmer wrote letter TO the
Assessor in which she described, in sensa-
tiopal terms, the conduct of the two
deputies when they called at her house.
Yesterday she was present in the Asses
sor's Office aud was confronted with the
.wo accused deputies. All parties were
allowed 10 tell their stories separately. Ii
was apparent from the landlady's state
ments that she was ex aggeratiug what
mad taken place, for instead Of listening
to the story of one of the deputies she
worked herself into high pitch If excite
ment and trem bling with anger she strobe
out of the Assessors office. closing the
door with tremendous bang.
This is how they do things in Calfor-
MIA" was all she said.
Mrs. Palmer described Deputy Whan as
having a bulldog face and terroring
manner. Cramer was slZed up as a
typical sneak, and both were denounced
in very high-handed phrases.
BOlh deputies told a very straight
forward story of what had taken place
when Mrs Palmer's clearinghouse mad
been visited. They said they entered the
front door, which was open, and inquired
for the landIady. They saw Mrs. Palmer,
who denied she was the landlady. The
deputies said they told her their business.
when she began TO call them 'hoodlums
and thieves of assessors, and to get right
out of her place"
Both deputies have been employed by
Assessor Siebe for three years, and have
always been found faithful. and efficient in
the discharge Of their duties. After hear
ing their stories and taking into considera-
tiOn the wild manner In which Mrs
Palmer acted, Chief Deputy HerZer said
he would exonerate the men and relnstated
them IN their old places.
