Says He Intends to Bring
II. M. Levy to the
Issue.
HOW TO SUPPRESS SCANDAL
The Ex-President OF the Hale &
Norcross VIII Be Accused
of Using Money.

In the matter of the suit brought by
Solomon Hoeflich against Herman Zadig
and Fl. M. Levy to secure an accounting in
relation to the stock transactions of his
late brother, Morris Hoefich, THE CALL
has secured further information through
interviews with Warren Sheridan and
Solomon Hoefich. who has come 5000
miles from Germany to sift the case to its
bottom and discover if possible what has
become of the papers which he charges
H. M. Levy in his complaint with secur-
ing from the residence of Morris Hoeflich
shortly after bis death.
Hoeflich committed suicide in house
on O'Farrell street on May 2, 1891, and the
following morning strong box of per-
sonal effects and papers was taken from
his home on Stockton street This re-
moval was accomplished at the instigation
of I'll. NJ. Levy, so Mr.. Hoefich charges.
The case has peculiar history
Through chain of circumstances made
whole by conversations with Solomon
Hoefiich and others it was learned that
this particular case has its infancy in the
days of heavy stock deals, and reaches
back to period when the ex-president of

RAISING THE ASSESSMENT.
City Taxes Will Probably Be Higher
Than Usual This Year.

City Taxes Will Probably Be Higher
Than Usual This Year.
Chief Deputy Hugo Herzer and half a
dozen experts from the Assessors ONCE
are preparing to go to Sacramento for the
purpose of opposing the proposed raise in
San Francisco's assessment which subject
will be taken up by the State Board OF
Equalization on the 18th inst, according
to current report.
Gossip around the Assessors Office has
it that the equalizers have already de-
c1ar ed their intention to make this raise,
and that it will require an exceedingly
strong showing to change the programme,
the injustice of which is apparent.
The Assessors figures for this year fix
the assessment at 1928, 537, 317. Deducting
the amount taken by the Board of Super
vlsors, 500, 900, and the assessment stands
at about 1927 600 600. The Supervisors de-
cision on the City and County rate is
likely to fix this rate higher than usual, so
that City taxes will be high enough to suit
most people should the Board of Equaliza-
ton keep its hands off altogether thing
not at all likely to happen.
Last year after the Board OF Supervisors
had done its work, sitting as board OF
equalization, the total assessment of all
property, real and personal, amounted to

added exactly SAG, 45S, IA.

the Hale & Norcross mine had no capital
and practically no prospects. There was
a time on the Comstock when those on
the ''inside" were very scarce, and the
jobbery that has since come to light was
not even suspected. During those periods
a great many men, through what might
have been good fortune, were thrown into
associations that afterward made them
rich and familiar with the ropes through
which this variety of good luck was
brought about. A great many men were
unconsciouSly drawn into deals, the mag
nitude of which they did not appreciate
until some designing manipulation had
woven a system of strange dealing around
them and they were practically part of
the operating force.
Solomon Hoefiich, who is a brother of
the deceased, said of the case: 81 will at

my brother Morris while Levy was his
partner. l will attempt to prove that Mr..
Levy is familiar with the whereabouts of
these papers and effects or has them in his
possession.

the remarkable interest he displayed in

brother. who resided in house located in
a small alley running from Stockton to
Dupont streets, and securing from the pro-
prietor. man named Windell, the strong
box in which Morris kept his papers. A
man named Katzenstein and the old nurse
of my brother were Levy's emissaries in
this matter. The strange proceeding took
place at o'clock in the morning. and l
subsequently learned from the generous

tiers that my brother had received from
some of the best families in the City. He
explained to me that Morris was gay

much OF him TO have it leak out. Has Mr..
Levy always been SO energetic in hushing
up scandal?
Imagine my surprise when shortly
afterward I was told by Mr.. Jerry Lynch
that II had one book which he knew was
contained in that box it would be worth
100000 to me.
This is not the end of that particular
box history. | have found a man, whose
name will give you, but would prefer
not to have it mentioned, who will go on
the stand and testify that WiEdell told him

papers and letting KatZenstein and the
nurse go through my brothers rooms Mr..
Levy, however, found some things which
he did not destroy. One thing was silver

Flood, which the generous Mr.. Levy pre-
sented Ned Holmes, the secretary of the
Savage, and the other was a pearl pin,

are in my already filed complaint.

life.
There is another thing have discov-
cred, but l cannot get my hands on the
papers. Some years ago Morris owned, in
company with Levy and Zadig, mine
called the Golden Eagle mine, located in
the Silver City mining district. He held
10000 shares. Adjoining this mine was
one worked by man who now runs the
Baldwin Hotel barber-shop. His name is
Brodek. He unconsciously drifted from
his mine into the one owned by Morris,
Levy and Zadig, and as soon as they dis
covered it he had to pay them $4,000 for ore
removed. About three years ago l mad
vertently heard of this incident and went
to Levy and demanded my brothers share
of the property. The result was that a
little later on got notice through my
attorney, Mr.. Highton, notifying me of a
15-cent assessment. They simply tried to
freeze me out. Now, there must be some
evidence of the Hoefich interest, but l am

That of Lord North and Fox in 1882 lasted
only eight months and half. "AlI the

THEY CROWDED THE FAIR.
Saturday Night Parties FIJI
AiSleS and Floors in the
Pavilion.
An Object-Lesson on a Small Scale
on Home Manufactures-Ar
and Music.

Saturday night brought out an extraor-
dinarily large crowd to the Mechanics
Fair, and this was more particularly ap-
plicable to the young people, who were
there in thousands = the same happy,
pleasant and delighted throng as used to
brighten the fair in years gone by.
The crowds of visitors were interested in
the display of mech anical devices and ma
chinery-the very forcible object lesson in
home industry which has proved strong
counter attraction against all interesting
features on parade. On small scale were
presented California bookbinding, paint
ing signs by machinery, silk-weaving, con-
centrating and crushing ores, amalgamat-
ing metal from sand, inkmaking, print
ing, shipbuilding, chemical making and
numerous other branches of the industrial
arts.
Many of the visitors admitted that they
had never thought that such work was
done In California, and they were the
most interested of all who paid any atten-
ton to the mechanical exhibits.
The art gallery was well patronized. In
color the art exhibit was very rich, very
brilliant and, in fine, strong, from the in
tense sunlit open-air masterpiece by Miss
Alice B. Chittenden-an old basket of
hewers in the grasses-to the heavy brown
csnvases that were scattered throughout
the rows of paintings. In the way of oil
portraits so far there was not so lar ge a
number as on previous occasions, though
there was one that commanded attention
the life-slze picture of Tiburcio Parrott-
painted some years ago by Henry Raschen
before he went to Germany.
Herr Scheel was happy leading his mu-
slcians, for the noise of machinery had
been abated to minimum. He presented
programme of popular music, as follows:
Overture. "Poet and Peasant. F. Won Suppe
Cornet solo, selected ............. Louis N Rtzau
