SINGLE TAX ADVOCATES
Will Invoke the Courts in Behalf OF
Their Theory
An Ancient and Forgotten Statute Resusc,-
tated Which Is Said to Afford Pre-
cedent for Their Side

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 30.-The
single tax, who have become particularly
aggressive on this coast lately, have dis
covered provision Of the law whereby
real estate owners may be compelled to
pay $1,000, 600 into the treasury unless
Some action is taken to prevent it.
They have competent attorneys at work
on the statutes regulating assessments
and taxation, and have discovered a
supreme court decision which has been
overlooked for years and the law uncon-
sc,ously violated, whereby real estate
owners in this city have escaped the
burden of the increase in the assessment
roll made by the state board OF equallZa-
tion.
Heretofore the valuation filed by the
state board has controlled, the taxes for
municipal purposes were collected on the
valuation fixed by the county board of
equalization. Under a decision of the
supreme court there can be but one valu-
alton, and the STATE board finally fixes
that. A Ii taxes, both for state and county
purposes, must be levied on that valu-
alton.
The single takers intend to wait till the
board of supervisors has fixed the tax
lew and then commence suit to conf pei
che tax collector to collect the rate on the
Increased valuation of the state board of
EQUALIZATION, providing, Of course, raise
is made, and it is pretty certain that it
will be. If the usual increase of 1 per
csntis made, such a move would mean
the collection of 81 200, 900 more in taxes
than the supervisors anticipated when
the levy was made.

COULDN'T BORROW A BOY
Why an Old Bachelor Was Deprived Of tn
Enjoyment Of the Circus

Enjoyment Of the Circus
The troubles and tribulatvns of an old
fellow who still retained the fondness OF
childhood for the circus is thus related
by the Seattle (Wash.) Telegraph:
1T is surprising how paternal men be-
come when circus comes TO town. Iney
must get fatherly to become childish;,
Yesterday friend of mine, desirous OF
visiting the Syndicate Shows, spent most
OF the forenoon trying to borrow poy

that the circus was one thing that maze
the blood thrill liz his veins, but MS dig-
nifty would not permit him TO attend one
without sufficient excuse. AS ne hau no
children of his own, he was forced TO hunt
up somebody who would loan him hild
to take to the show. He said: But the
strangest part of it all is that ] was Uni
able to get one. Now, you would imag-
Inc that there would be plenty OF chill
dren around ANXIOUS to see circus. and
you would be right; buS the supply did
not equal the demand. BY actual count
l went to twelve of my friends who have
growing boys and requested that | ght
give tho little fellows some pleasure by
taking them. without a single exception
they thanked me very much for my kind
ness, and they said they were going to

with me, yet do not know of anything
| like better. 1t brings me back to the
old days when | was in the country. a
barefooted boy. following the parade,
looking with wonderment at the lone ele-
pbant ploddins along. The smell OF tn Q
sawdust, the cries of the peanut and lem
onade men are as pleasant to ms as the
new-mown hay and singing birds. They
are the chemicals which develop the un-
seen image which is upon the plato OF
memory and comes forth in all its glory.
But missed this all, for. thanks TO the
same feeling in the hearts of my father
friends. all the available excuses" were
taken up. Go myself? What do you
take me for? Do you think would allow

A SERIOUS CHARGE
A 1an Named Harrity Alleged to Have At
tempted to Commit Rape


A warrant was issued yesterday for the
arrest of an old man named Harrity, who
is charged with having attempted to
commit rape upon Pauline, the s-year-old
daughter of j. +. Brown OF Gladys street
1t is claimed that the little girl was
playing in the yard when Harrity. who
was working on an adjoining building.
asked her to come ovei in that yard. as
there was nice place to play. The
girls mother thought that he wanted the
child to 20 upon an errand. When Pau
line went to him he told her to go under
the house. as it was fine under there.
The child crawled there and he came
after.
Mrs. Brox xn states that she saw them
20 under the house and went to see why
the child had done so. The mother says
that she saw Harrity with his hands
under the child's clothing, while his
pe'son was exposed. She called to them
to come odt and they did so. She was
very angry and bcratcd Harrity very Wig
orously. Her husband came up about
that time and when he learned the
trouble he also gave the old man tongue
lashng. Mr. Brown then went over to
the residence of Police Officer Cox and
asked him to arrest Harrity. When the
officer arrived. though, Harrity had es-
capped, and has not since been seen, but
the police are making every effort to
effect his capture.

not the intention of the Nevada Southern

An Unknown Uexican Kun over Last
Night
Tho inbound train on the Santa Fe
railroad ran over and killed an old Mex
ican about eight miles from the city at
/ clock last night. The man was seen
walking on the track, but he appeared
not TO heed the warning of the engineer,
and before the train coulo be stopped he
was beneath the wheels. The body was
picked up and brought 20 the city by the
train hands. Coroner Campbell was noti-
fled of the death and the body was sent
to the undertaking rooms of kregelo &
Bresee. There was nothing on the body
to serve as means of identification. He
carried with him a bundle in which were
wrapped new suit of overalls and some
underwear. A single dollar was found
IN his purse. From his appearance he
was laboring man. about 45 years old.
He wore a full beard, cut rather short,
and streaked with gray. An ugly wound
in the back of the head shows where the
man was struck by the engine. The
right leg is broken Immediately above
the ankle. Aside from few slight
scratches on the left hand, he is not
otherwise disfigured.
An inquest will be held over the re-
mains this morning.
