peared before the Board of Equalization
during the afternoon session and related
their grievances. They told how the ra tie
on improvements alone in Vallejo had in
creased $50, 2S7, and stated that there had
been a slight increase IN valuation both in
yacaville and Suisun. There had formerly
been a drydock in Vallejo which had
helped to swell the roll $37, 800. but that
had ceased to exist.
Then Equalizer Beamer quietly called
the Assessors attention to the fact that
there existed q decrease of 81, 500, 900 in
outside property values, ana he began ex-
plaining matters. He told how orchards
were assessed at $3.50 an acre, trees being
considered to be worth $50 per acre.
President Morehouse thought that the
assessment on trees should be raised, as, in
his opinion, they doubled the value of the
land. but Schirmer retorted by saying that
many of the properly owners would prefer
the land without the trees.
Schirmer also stated that he assessed all
marsh lands, worthless Tor any purpose
save hunting-grounds, Tor from 81 to S.
per acre, ana presented numerous IN
stances in which land had been sold for
less than its assessed value.
Then Arnold took bowl at the AS
SCISSOR by inquirlng into the system of as.
sessine banks. and Schirmer saia he had
taken the statement of the banks as q
basis upon which to assess them, and de-
clared that he did not know what else
to do.
The statements to the Bank Commits
sioners were then compared with the as
sessment of banks, and the comparison
showed that the banks had escaped assess.
ment on an immense amount of property.

Yet another Congressional Candidate to
Be Nominated.
Los ANGELES, CAL, Aug. 21.-ADother
candidate. it seems, is to be injected into
the political fight in the Sixth Congress
SIGNAL District. The outcome of the Dem
ocratic convention of yesterday did not
please the Silverites little bit and in
consequence, conference has been under
way here today with view of Arranging
for a mass-convention of free-silver men
to nominate one of their number for Con-
gress.
Several notable silver leaders, including
Ava Udell, secretary of the Bimetallic
League for California, Enoc Pepper, II.
81. Savage, Colonel I. E. Messmore, J. G.
Corners, John r. Berry and Others at
tended the caucus to-day. The talk is
now, that Colonel Messmore, who came
within two votes of defeating George s.
Patton for the nomination TWO years ago,
will be the latest candidate. Charles Bar
lows nomination at San Luis Obispo, it
has been asserted, has satisfied the silver
men of the district, but the gentlemen
named say they want no Barlow in theirs.

Los ANGELES OFFICE OF THE CALL,
1913 SOUTH BROADWAY,
Los ANGELES, CAL. Aug. q.

Los ANGELES, CAL, Aug. Il. J
Senator Stephen NJ. White appeared in
Police Judge Owens court to-day as attor-
new for Dr. A. s. Shorb, charged with be-
ing the cause OF Mrs. Jennie Snyder's
death, on August 5, in this city. The par
ticulars of Mrs. Snyder's death and the
suicide of her lover ere still fresh in the
minds of the readers of THE CALL. DR..
Shorb, the defendant, is an old man and
has been a resident of Los Angeles for
many, years. He is fortunate in securing
the services OF Senator White, but, iudg-
ing from the expert testimony introduced
this morning, will undoubtedly be held to
answer.
The prosecution will introduce nothing
but expert testimony. The testimony
taken at the Coroner's inquest was ruled
out and the morning session was taken up
in the examination of Drs. Salisbury and
Carson and Health Officer Steddom. The
evidence went 10 show that instruments
had been used in careless manner.
DR.. Carson was free to admit that after
his examination of the deceased at the
autopsy he had remarked that the wound
as it appeared could have been inflicted
with a butcher-knife, but that he did not
wish the impression to prevail that such
an instrument was used upon the dead
woman.
District Attorney James, who Is prose-
cutting the case, says that after hearing
some expert testimony the people will
rest He is confident that Shorb will be
held to answer to the Superior Court.
The case was finally continued to II A. NJ.
tomorrow, when Senator White will argue
a motion to dismiss.

SAN DIEGO IS CONFIDENT
Little Doubt About Securing the
Japanese Steamship
Terminus.
Manager Iwanaga Makes an Exten.
sive Trip of Observation
Around the Bay.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Aug. N.-News has
been received here that s. Tomioka, who
was here a few weeks ago as private secre
tary to President Asano ofthe Togo Klsen
Steamship Company, has been in the City
of Mexico for week getting information
as to the running of steamers along the
Mexican coast as far south as San Benlto.
Tomioka was supposed TO have gone to
Chicago with Asano, but went directly to
Mexico. He was empowered by Asano to
enter into negotiations with the Govern
ment for the establishment of steamship
line to touch at all the principal ports, in
Guiding Mazatlan, San Bias, Manzanillo,
Acapulco, Salina Cruz and San Benito.
While in Mexico Mr.. Tomioka inter
viewed Sir Whetman Pearson, lessee of
the Tehuantepec Railway, and is believed
to have reached some agreement with that
road for handling through freight.
The Japanese Minister of Commerce,
the Viscount Enomoto, has signified a
desire to establish connection with the
Tehuantepec road, and suggestion from
him is equivalent to an order, as he con-
trolls the Government subsidy to steam
ship companies. When Shonemoto, Com
missioner of Commerce and Industry, was
IN San Diego he stated positively that the
Togo kisen Kaisha would make traffic ar
| engagements with the Tehuantepec Rail-
way il possible. He was in Mexico some
weeks before Tomicka arrived, and also
| interviewed Sir Wnetman Pearson.
The significance of this move on the
part OF the Togo Kisen Kaisha is impor-
tant to San Diego, and tends to confirm
the assurance that the steamers will make
san Diego their California port. If the
/ Togo Kisen Kaisha enters into compact
| with the Tehauntepec Railway, its nearest
and most direct American connection will
be San Diego.
| Sci lch Iwanaga, manager of the Nip
pom usen kaisha Steamship Company,
made an extensive trip on the bay to-day
| WITH the business men of the CITY and w.
d. blodie, freight traffic manager OF the
santa re system, besides Pilot Dill. He
expressed the belief that the Toyo Kisen
| halsha has selected this port for a terIni-
nus, but at the same time sought all the
information possible concerning the har-
DOT and Its terminal facilities. Mr..
lwanagas private secretary, who is lot
ting down all information Obtained was
reticent as to the intention of his COMPANY
regarding San Diego, but said the direc-
tors IN Japan desired full knowIedg e of
this port. The Japanese were taken tn
various points on the bay this afternoon
| and leave in the morning for San Fran
cisco.

Los ANGELES RALLY.
Interesting Republican Addresses to
Large GATHERING.

Interesting Republican Addresses to a
Large Gathering.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, Aug. q. = A
great Republican gathering took place
under the auspices of the Young Mems
Republican League in the Stowell block
here this evening, which was addressed
by Hon. James McLaehlan, Republican
candidate for Congress, and e. &. McKin-
ley of Santa Rosa. Mr.. Mckinley made
the principal speech of the evening. He
reviewed silver legislation in Europe and
America, showing conclusively that at
tempts to raise the bullion price of silver
py legislation in this country had utterly
failed, as in the case of the Bland-Allison
act and the Sherman purchasing law.
The conclusion was that the Republican
party, according to its platform, is the
only true bimetallic political organization
in the country, as bimetallism by treaty
stipulation among the great powers of the
earth alone can raise the intrinsic value OF
silver and thus add its volume 10 the
money of the country and put IL on a
parity with gold.
The speaker paid high tribute 10 the
National standard bearer of the party
and his illustrious ana splendid record
both in war and peace.
Quoting the words of Congressman Bar
ham of the First District, the speaker
said: "Our Congressman, who knows
your representative in the lower house far
better than | do, says that the people OF
the Los Angeles district should re-elect
McLachlan almost unanimously, owing tC
his sterling qualities of head and heart
his ability, and. above all, his untiring in.
dustry in behalf of his constituents.

SANTA MONICA, CAL, Aug. 21.-Ws
R.sH. Sulliger, prominent merchant Of
Santa Monica, was held up last night by
two thugs on Ocean avenue, within a
stones throw of Senator Jones residence,
and received two pistol shot wounds. Mr..
SQlliger, who has been in the drug BUSH
ness here for four years. has been in the
habit of taking walk every evening
after closing his place of business. Last
night, shortly after 9 o'clock, he closed
his store, and when on his walk he reached
point on Ocean avenue opposite the resi-
dence of Mr.. Abbott Kinney he was &C
costed by two men who told him to hold
up his hands.
Thinking it was a couple of friends in
tending to play practical joke he poked
his cane at them, when one of the thugs
hit him on the head with a club which
feIled him to the ground. Sulliger then
reached for his gun, when the highway
men fired at him twice. The first ball
entered the left shoulder and lodged in
the neck, the other ball entering the left
leg.
He Immediately cried for help, when q
number of ladies and gentlemen came out
and search was at once instituted for the
murderers. They were both men of me-
dunn height, one wearing dark clothes
and the other light. The hat of the darkly
clothed one having fallen from his head,
is in the possession of the police. The
doctor who is attending Mr.. Sulliger does
not consider the wounds dangerous, and
he is doing as nicely as could be ex-
pected.
Word reached town this evening that q
man answering the description of one Of
the men, without hat. had been arrested
in Los Angeles. The Board of Trustees
met this afternoon and offered reward of
$500 for the capture of the fugitives. A
citizens meeting has been called to rid the
town of lot OF tinhorn gamblers who re-
Gently have put in an appearance.
Two veterans, mem bers of the Soldiers
Home here, were held up late last night
by gang OF highwaymen on the Southern
Pacific Railroad track, between the home
and the crossing of the Pasadena and
Pacific Electric track. From one they Sc
cured 81 60 and $50 from the other.
