through jealousy, are attempting to crush
it in its embryonic state. The board of
editors and illustrators held a meeting
yesterday afternoon and outlined definite
plans for the publication of this new effort
at comic journalism. A whole armful of
drawings and ''ioshes" on students have
already been submitted to Artists Steele
and Quinan, and still more can be had on
short notice from amateur seekers of artis-
tic fame.
The report has gained ground among
some of the university people that an eff
fort will be made to lampoon the faculty
by means of sketches and doggerel setting
forth their idiosyncrasies, but the staff de-
clares that no such work will be given
space in the paper. The experience with
1865 ''Blue and Gold" has been suffi-

1t was Mr.. Reynolds opinion that these
So, 000, 600 of "back taxes should still be
held collectable from the landlords of this
City. Said Mr.. Reynolds:
From Mr.. Herzer's own figures it appears
that property in this City has been assessed at
only so per cent of its true value. Here we
find that ten pieces of real estate sold for an
aggregate of $l35 $40. and yet the assessed
valuation was only $99, $50. The Blythe
assessed at only 81, 2s2 750, which is only IS
per cent. Six pieces of Market-street property
sold for 81, 196, 900, but the assessment was
pieces OF property in various parts of the City
ST. 81 900 was realized in very brief period
from the date of their assessment, but their
assessed valuation was only As per cent OF that
amount.
The only warrants of authority the Tax
Collector has for following the assessed valua-
ton are the two orders of the Board OF Super
visors. one fixing the State levy at 40 mills and
the other the City levy at 81, and both levies
being based upon calculations OF the existing
assessment rolls. He has no law for it; he goes
contrary to the law in doing so.
The assessed valuation of San Francisco
for 1894 was divided as follows:
Land, $177 500 ,44O; improvements, $685.
994, 1855; personal property, $64, 225, 759.
Estimating Mr.. Herzer's valuation of
land at 80 per cent of its true value, Mr..
Reynolds doubled it, and on basis of
per cent interest on land mortgages-a low
figure he thought, in comparison with
what interest was being demanded by
several money loaning institutions just
now-he figured the "unearned increment"
for the three years, which he said ought to
go to the community, at $42, SOC, 3345 80.
This he observed, the landowners had en-
joyed and, therefore, he opined that to
make them pay 81, 600, 900 back taxes would
not be any great hardship to them.
On his motion the following resolutions
calling for action were then adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t is provided by law that after
the City and County Board of Equalization
has fixed the valuation for property for the
purpose of taxation the State Board of Equal
iZation may increase or reduce the same; and
whereas, said State Board did accordingly in
crease such valuation of the property in this
City and County for the year 1891, $SS .259,-
998; for the year 1892, $65 ,S82, $40, and for
the year 1894, $47 ,656, 645, making an aggre-
reason, the Tax Collector has neglected to col
$50 13, naturally the Supreme Court has de-
eided that the taxes ought to be collected for
all purposes on such increased valuation by
the State Board OF Equalization, therefore be it
ResclUed, That the executive committee be
and are hereby instructed TO examine fully into
the law and facts of the case and report. First,
What reasons have moved the Tax Collector to
not collect said taxes? second, Ii such reasons
are sufficient in law, and If not? third, that
steps should be taken to enforce the collection
of said taxes.
RESOLVED, That the committee proceed and re-
port without unnecessary delay.

SHOOTING At MIDNIGHT.
Police Called Upon to Search
the House of a Young
Married Couple.
A Burst Bicycle Tire Explains What
Was Thought to Be a
Tragedy.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALI
sos Broadway. Sept. l.

JOo DEOduWdyi OepG. l.
young married couple rushed into the
police station little after midnight and
told Captain Fletcher there was shooting
going on in the rear of their home and
they feared murder. The woman was
greatly excited and said that she had been
with neigh bors for the evening and re-
turned about IL O'Clock. As soon as she
entered her home, which is on Webster
street, near Fourteenth, she heard some
rustling, followed by pistol shot in the
back room of the house. She ran out and
informed her husband, who works in a
barber-shop near by, and the pair went to
the prison and told their story.
Captain Fletcher was convinced that the
girl was telling straight story and he ac-
companied them back to their home. A
but nobody was found, dead or alive, moth
ing appeare to have been disturbed and
no evidence could be found of any shoot
ing. But Captain Fletcher was anxious to
set the young woman's fears at rest, so he
investigated in the neighborhood and
found that others had heard the shot fired
at the same time.
At the rear of the house occupied by the
young couple is another house, and as the
sound OF the shot had come from That d.
rection Captain Fletcher, enforced by the
officer on the beat, made inquiries of the
inmates. The mystery was soon ex-
planned.
One of the family owns a bicycle and he
told the police that just at the identical
hour named as the time of the probable
murder one of the tires had exploded with
a loud report.
Captain Fletcher said to-day that he
didn't expect a tragedy, but he considered
that to have Gained the fears of young
married couple was satisfaction enough
for his midnight hunt.

AT GRACE CHURCH.
A Large Congregation Listens to the
First Monthly Festival Service.

A Large Congregation Listens to the
First Monthly Festival Service.
Grace Church, corner of California and
Stockton streets, was crowded last evening
by congregation that assembled to listen
to the first monthly festival service ever
given in that church.
The service, in which was introduced the
anthem, LEAD Kindly Light" rendered
most excellently by the new male choir,
was an unusual one, but as the Rev. r. G..
Foute in short address explained, it is
not new and is strictly within the rules
governing the church service. He said
that 1t is the intention to furnish the best
music IN the church at all times and to
pay special attention to selections for the
monthly services. He expressed himself
as gratlfed at the presence of so large a
congregation, and said that he hoped that
the services would be appreciated by all.
The rendition OF the several mum bers by
the choir, composed of Frank Coffin, Clar-
ence Wendell, Algernon Aspland, Peter
Lamar. first tenors; DIR. Robert Smith,
Leonard e. Mcclellan, James G. Simonton,
second tenors; d. NJ. Warde, F. G. B.
Mills, first bassos; Hugh Williamson, W.
Mcdonald, second bassos, was perfect.
The organ recital at the close of the SER
vice, SACRED Concert on a Lake Inter
rupted by Thunderstorm, by William
Fl. Holt, organist and director of music,
was gem executed in a faultless manner
which brought out the almost full force of
the grand organ. At the next special SER
vice on the 9th of October Gaul's sacred
cantata, "Holy City," will be rendered.

THE OLD SWEET SCHOOL,
First Hall to Be Dedicated by
the American Protective
Association.
Congressman Linton Accepted an
Invitation to Come to the
Coast.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI
sos Broadway, Sept. 1.

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO GALL
500 Broadway, Sept. 1. I
The first hall to be dedicated for the use
of the American Protective Association
will be opened shortly in East Oakland.
1t will be the old SWEET schoolhouse, re-
modelled so as to form large lecture hall
upstairs and several lodgerooms down
stairs.
The old SWEET schoolhouse was located
on the site of the handsome stone and
brick structure opened for educational
purposes several months ago at Nineteenth
street and Thirteenth avenue in East Oak
land. The building was moved to one
corner of the block and fixed up while the
new school was building. Then it was
sold for small sum to John Hodge, and
the next day sold by him at an advanced
figure to Hugh M. Cameron, a real estate
man. From MI. Cameron it has been
leased by the Seventh Ward Council of the
A. p. A., and will be used by the order.
The Seventh Ward is the largest and most
aristocratic in the city, and the order is
very strong in that district.
The schoolhouse has been moved to Six
tenth street and Thirteenth avenue, and
will be ready for use shortly. 1t is large
tWO-SGOTy UulluiDS, anu 1iiC large udil Will
seat 1000 people. No decorations will be
used on any occasion but the Stars and
Stripes, and over the main entrance will be
the motto, ''One Language, One Country,
One Flag"
Congressman Linton has been invited to
come to Oakland, and he has accepted the
invitation. He will probably be here and
help to dedicate the first hall of the order
in Alameda County. Congressman Linton
is known for his speech in the last Con-
gress opposing the appropriation Of public
money for sectarian schools.

A SHATTERED JAWBONE.

Frank Smith, Co1ored Jockey, Struck
by Football.
Frank Smith, a colored jockey, while
having a convivial time with some of his
friends in the Midway Plaisance saloon on
Market street last evening, was hit in the
law with a poolball. The ball received
sufficient impetus from the hand of man
named Kelley to cause serious fracture of
Smiths jawbone-
Smith was taken to the Receiving Hos
pital. Kelley was not arrested and the
officers were unable to learn what caused
the row, if any, and how Smith happened
to be the victim. Smith was sober at the
time and bears a good reputation. His
jaw was badl. shattered.

CRICKET ACROSS THE BAY.
The AlamedaS Score a Very
Easy Victory Over the
PaCifiCS.
The Match Between the CALIFORNIA;
and the Bol1emianS Was
Abandoned.

The oldtime antagonists, the Pacifcs
and Alamedas, met on the Alameda cricket
field yesterday with the usual result. The
Pacifcs, who lost the toss and were sent in
first, made tolerably good showing con-
sidering their opponents strength-they
scored "a runs. To this total Mulch,
g. Theobald and Howard were the chief
contributors, the formers IA being made
by good, careful play.
But, as was soon shown, this total was
altogether inadequate against such veteran
batsmen as the Alamedas had in the field.
Morey almost equaled it off his own bat
with careful if somewhat lucky 65 and
Hood and Price both made good scores.
The side put together 152 in all, which beat
the Pacitics by 70.
In their second innings the Pacifcs
showed much better form. Wiseman's A
not out was good performance all
through and Harbour played fine, hard
hitting game. Had time admitted the
match to be played out its result might
have been different, as there were four good
wickets yet to fall. The score:

After Tax Collector Block for
Following County VAL
uatiOnS.
COMMITTEE WILL INVESTIGATE
Mr.. Reynolds Figures Out a Dis
crepancy Of $4,000, 900 "Back"
Taxes Due.

The Single Tax Society concluded last
night at its meeting in the Foresters
building, No. 1O2 O'Farrell street, to go
after Tax Collector Block and see why the
law has not been complied with in the
matter of collecting taxes on the full value
of the property according to the State
Board of Equalization's valuation in the
past. The amount involved aggregates
upward of 100000.
James S. Reynolds came forward with
a. dissection of Chief Deputy Assessor
Herzer's argument which that official
made to the State Board of Equalization
at Sacramento in August. The argument
and its figures, said Mr.. Reynolds, were
''fearfully, tearfully and wonderfully
made, and proved conclusively that the
Assessors and Tax Collectors Offices"
The definition in the Political Code

just debt due from solvent debtor" and
from the State Supreme Court decision in

that the court held that there could not be
two valuations recognized by the Tax
Collector-that the State Board OF Equal
ization was the only one to be recognized.
Notwithstanding this definition and the
that the State Board had increased San
