Leading Men

Governor Budd was in the city yester.
day, and spoke without hesitation on the
pardon of Louis Stern berg, who was con-
victed in February, 1895, and sentenced to
serve term OF three years in the State
prison. The Governor said the petition
for the pardon of Stern berg was signed by
MANY prominent men OF the State.
After the Board of Prison Directors
recommended the pardon" said the Gov
ernor, 81 received message from May or
Plean, requesting that executive action
be delayed until L should receive a coun-
ter petition. l waited two weeks and re.
ceived the protests against the granting of
the pardon. The Mayors protests, three
in number, contain but 1I3 names out OF
the 70. 600 voters and $50. 900 inha bitants OF
San Francisco.
There has been no departure from the
usual proceeding in the case. The petit
t1on for the release OF Sternberg was signed
by thirty nine of the forty State Sen ators
of California and large mum ber of As
sem blymen. Moreover, Stern berg's term
of imprisonment will expire nine months
hence. Were he allowed credit for the
time that he was Imprisoned in the County

ment against the exercise of executive

Professor PIehn Details His Ideas on
Taxation.

Professor Plehn of Berkeley interested
large audience at Y. NJ. G. A. Hall last
evening on the subject of 'Ta xation."
He first dwelt on the methods of State and
local taxation now in vogue in this coun-
try, which he criticized severely, as he
said il is anything but equal.
Taxation" he said, lis equal only
when it places the individual cluzen in
exactly the same position relative to his
fellows as 1t found him. The contribu-
tlons to the support OF the Government
should be in proportion to the ability of
the taxpayer.
The general property tax as the main
source OF revenue is a failure from every
polnt of view-practicailv it is the worst
system known in the civilized world. 1t
debases public morals, presses hardest on
those least a BILE TO pay, changes natural
lines of the distribution of wealth, and as
special Indictment it adds materially to
the sources tending to destroy the farm
ing reputation o. the country.
"The American farmer is overtaxed and
Jhis is one of the principal causes Of the
depopuIation of the rural districts. Tax
every man according to his ability and
better state of affairs Will be the result.

Litigation Growing Out of Putting 1t
on the Market.
J. D. Culp. tobacco-grower having his
home and plantation near San Felipe, San
Benito County, has filed his answer to
the suit instituted against him by r. w.
Beardslee and w. W. Boughton, doing
business as the San Felipe Tobacco Com
pany.
The plaintiffs complained that Mr.. Culp
had broken his contract to supply them
with tobacco and cigars, and asked for
$4,000 damages. In his reply Mr.. Culp
says that Beardslee and Boughton fraudu-
lently induced him 10 make the tobacco
agreement by falsely representing that
they had $4,000 to invest in the business,
whereas in TACT they were impecunlous.
David Miller was about to go into the
business, but withdrew when he learned
that Beardslee and Boughton were with.
out funds.
AS Beardslee and Boughton were not
able to 60 ahead with the matter accord
ing to their agreement, formal release
from the contract was signed by both
sides; but even after this suit was in
stituted to mulct Mr.. Culp in damages.
He says he did not decline to furnish the
supplies until after the original ontract
was signed, wherefore he asks for judg.
ment for his costs.

EVAN GELIZ[DG THE CITY
The Christian Ministers Hope
to Hold a Monster Re-
vival Meeting.
1t Is to Last One Year-Dr. Ford of
the Christian Church Doing a
Large Work

An effort is being made among the
Christian churches of the State to thor
oughly evangelize San Francisco The
State board has taken this work up be-
cause it believes that in its efforts to evan
geiize the country the city has been neg
lected. So it has planned a revival meet
ing that j. to last one year. with services
every night.
The work is to be carried on after the
plan Moody has adopted in Chicago. A
large building Is to be rented in some CEN
tral location, just where has not yet been
decided. Several advantageous offers have
already been made. and the off GERS of the
board will decide upon a loca ton in few
davs.
Rev. William Gardner of the West Side
Christian Church of this city has been ap-
pointed suDerin tendent OF the work He
has issued letter to be sent to the M M
bers of the congregations asking for their
help and CO. operation in the matter. These
letters includ1 pledges, and ask that they
be signed Tor a much or as little as the
recipient can afford to give. The mem
bers OF the Christian church in Vacaville
nave in this way agreed 10 nay $3.50. Rev.
Melvin Putnam has been selected as evan
gelist.
On Monday at the meeting OF the Chris
tian Ministerial Association DR.. Gardner
brought the matter up, and the associa-
ton promised its hearty cooperation.
Rev. Frank Ford of the First Christian
Church has adopted another way of
evangelizing the city. He has divided
fifty square blocks surrounding the
church into different sections, and takes
one section for each mouth. This will
take altogether pretty nearly three years
and is large undertaking. Some large
building is rented and services are held
every evening. If suitable building
cannot be rentad large tent which the
church has purchased for the purpose is
to be erected and the services held there.
DR.. Ford hopes in this way to form the
nucleus for nineteen Christian churches.
He is very enth usiastic a bout his work,
preaching when he can spare the time
and using every effort In his power to
help the work along.

rera, Charged With Robbery.
Governor Budd has at last granted a
pardon to Ramon Herrera, who was sem
fenced to serve twenty years in the State
prison at San Quentin for robbery.
Over four years ago Chinese was
robbed by two men on the corner of
Stockton and California streets, and Her
rera, who was then only Is years of age,
was arrested with Isadore Baldevla for
the crime. The victim identified The men
as his assailants because of the style oil
their dress. fellow named Manuel Por.
tilIio was also arrested for the robbery.
but as he had influential and wealthy
relatives he managed to escape his
deserts, tor he was Baldevia's companion.
AS was proved later
The police and the lawyers who had the
case knew that Portillio was the other
gully party, for he former recovered the
Chinamans watch from the pawnshop
where the fellow had sold it. Portiliio
also acknowledged his guilt after he was
acquitted. He left the city and went to
Mexico, where he was killed while trying
TO rob railroad train.
The Prison Directors were made aware
of these facts and they recommended the
boys pardon. The story was first made
public bv THE CALL, and all of the details
were frequently presented to the Governor,
but for some reason he never acted upon
the case un til yesterday, when he opened
the gates of the prison for the youngster.
1t is to the efforts of George Morse and
George Jewett that the pardon was
granted, for they worked fJr mout5s, their
only object being the desire to have JUS

tofore given by him, and similarly broad
and Just. 1t was the case of Gut Lung, q
Chinese woman OF the caste of which cha t.

tracts from the decision show the legal
points involved:
The judgment rendered by the District Court
of Arizona one when the law authorized
it to pronounce in that proceeding upon Its
general finding that this pc ii itioner was found
unlawfully within the juris diction OF that
court. Nor did the special referee in the pro-
ceeding now before this court err in refusing
to permit the petitioner to introduce in evil
dence a certificate of residence such as is re-
qured by section of the act OF Congress OF
May 3, 1892, and the act OF Congress amenda-
tory thereof approved November 3, 1898
This certificate purported to have been issued
to her by the Collector of Internal Revenue TOR
the First District of California, prior to the
commencement of the proceeding, which re-
suited in the judgment OF deportation under
which she is now held.
This offered evidence undoubtedly tended
to show that the petitioner has fully com
piled with the acts OF Congress above referred
to- but in its judgment above referred to the
District Court of the Territory OF Arizona de-
termined the fact to be otherwise than is

An Unknown German Commits Suicide
on Account of Financial
Difficulties.

A German whose name is supposed to
Merten committed suicide yesterday by
shooting himself in the left temple.
He came here from New York about
three weeks ago, and has been rooming at
a lodging house run by Mrs. A. Nicholson,
at 626X Mission street. At $3.50 o'clock
yesterday morning pistol shot was heard
by James r. McClosky and A. Nicholson,
who were rooming at the house. Nothing
was thought OF 1t until o'clock in the
evening, when some one jokingly told
Mrs. Nicholson OF it and asked her if
there had been suicide in the house. She
then told him she had gone to Merten's S
room in the morning and found him lying
on the floor, as she supposed, drunk.
They went up to the room and dis
covered Merten lying at the foot of the
bed dead, with a revolver near his hand.
Merten was abort 80 years old and
lived in New York until recently
when he failed in the liquor business.
He came here with friend looking for
work, and as no property of any value
was iound in his possession it is supposed
he com nltted suicide on account of his
straitened circumstances.

Court: 'tYou owe a duty to the ci.izen to

Blackstone, who said that ''no man

of his equals and neigh bors."
A quotation is given from Daniel Web

is most clearly intended the general law
which hears before it condemns, which
proceeds upon inquiry and renders iudg-
ment only after trial. 1t means that
every citizen shall hold his life, liberty
