Not long ego the Nsws- HsHALD an.
neunced the serious illness Of DR.. w. L.
Mequillett. On Friday lastcame the sad
news Of his death, which had occurred
the day before. No enc who ever came
TO this city was more Of general favor.
ite than DR.. Mequillett. He was every.
body's friend and everybody vas his
friend.
About wear ago, he realized the Ger.
ious malady which had taken hold Of
his lungs, and, upon medical advice,
severed his partnership with DR.. T. II.
Holmes, abandoning q large practice,
and sought the climate Of Colorado. But,
though apparently benefited for time,
the chill air Of winter was too much for
his enfeebled system. He wrote most
encouraging letters to his friends here.
His medical attendants, however, wrote
a week or two since, giving his true con .
dition.
DR.. Mequillett was q resident Of this
city several years. He stood high in the
esteem Of all, winning the strongest
friendship by his kindly, gentlemanly
ways. He was member Of the Presby.
terian Church, and Presiding officer Of
the X. of P. lodge. when he left here.
The remains were taken to his former
home, in Cleveland for burial. Ewing
Newby and DR.. T. H. Holmes attended
the funeral as representatives of the K.
of P. lodge in this city.

BERKELEY FUNDS
The University's Resources Will Be
Nearly Doubled

BERKELEY, August 5.-There will
be no increase in the income of the Uni
versity of California until next Febru-
ary, when the additional one-cent tax
on every $100 worth of assessed valu-
alton will become operative. 1t will in
crease the annual State appropriation
for the University to 1925, 900, twice what
it has been in the past. OF this one
fourth must be expended on permanent
improvements. The University will
have a large income from other sources.
The interest on the public land grant
fund will be s43, 900; the Morrill, College
aid fund will yield 200; the national
government will contribute $4,000 for
the support of the experiment stations
the Mills fund will yield $4,000 for the
support of the chair of philosophy; the
Reese fund will give $4,000 for the pur-
chase of additional books for the Ii
brary; there will be an increase of $4,000
for the support of the Agassiz chair of
Oriental Languages, endowed by Ed
ward Tompkins; Levi Strauss will give

DRuNKARD DEAD
A Wedding Frolic Ends in hastily
Tragedy

CINCINNATI. O., August 5.-Otto
Adler kept an all-night restaurant in the
lower story of house in which three
men and one woman perished this morn
ing. There were seventeen men and
women in one room in the second story
of this house. The occupants of the
building refuse all information. None
of the dead were burned. They were
suffocated from a fire in the adjacent
rooms. The only exit for escape was
blocked by a bath tub set up on end at
the head of the stairway. The smoke
came from an adjacent room, where the
fire was soon extinguished. 1t seems
that it was a wedding frolic, in which
Guth, one of the dead men, was a bride
groom, and the daughter of the landlord
Adler was the bride. Still there is some
doubt about who was the bride, as this
is about nearly all the particulars in the
case. The celebrants of the wedding
used beer and cigarettes very freely,
and it is now supposed cigarettes started
the fire and that beer caused the somno-
lence which, with the appended bath tub
were the indirect causes of so many ia
talities. 1t seems that while four out
of the seventeen in the room were suf-
focated, the other thirteen suffered bu,
slightly.

TAXED TOO HIGH
Rockefeller's Tarrytown Property Is
Offered for Sale

NEW YORK, August 5.-The Journal
says: Because Of what he considers an
excessive assessment by the authorities
of Mount Pleasant township, in which his
Tarrytown property is located, William
Rockefeller has placed the property on
the market. He sold his summer place at
Greenwich Conn.,, about eight years ago
on account of what he claimed was ex-
cessive taxation, and is now said to be
looking toward Newport as a retreat
from taxation. Mr.. Rockefeller is now
in Europe. He sailed on June 30th, and
real estate agent of Tarrytown, who has
been acting for him in contesting the as
sessment value of his property year
ago, now announces that before sailing
Mr.. Rockefeller authorized the sale of
his property for $350,000.
The assessed valuation is $2,SS3, ,S05.
That of year ago was $1,100,O00. The
purchase price was $125,0O0, and the i'm
provements have cost about s350,000.

CLUMSY LEGISLATION
May Prevent Collection of Personal
Property Tax

SAN FRANCISCO, August 5.-The
city officials here are expecting a Su-
preme Court decision that may affect the
revenue laws of the State. The case is
that of G. B. Rode & Co. against John D.
Siebe Assessor. 1t was an action
brought about two years ago to restrain
the Assessor from seiZing and selling
certain personal property belonging to
the plaintiffs upon which they had re-
fused to pay a personal property tax
The information that has reached the
city officials is to the effect that the Su-
preme Court will declare unconstitution-
al that part of the revenue law that pro-
yides for the assessment and collection
Of taxes on personal property by the As
SCISSOR between the first Monday in
March and the third Monday in July of
each year, because it deprives the tax
payer of the right to have hearing by
the County Board of Equalization, as
provided by the Constitution.
Just what the effect of the decision
will be cannot be determined at this
time, but it is believed by some that it
will be necessary for the Governor to call
an extra session of the Legislature to
correct the error in the law before the
sessment.
Should the supreme court decide the
personal tax collecting provisions of the
revenue law unconstitutional, as it is
rumored it will do, a number of corpora
tions and persons who have been paying
their taxes on personal property unse-
cured by real estate, under protest, will
be in a position to demand a return OF
their money
The Mutual Savings bank, of which
Mayor Phelan is president, is one of the
corporations that took the precaution
to file formal protest when its axes are
paid to the assessor.
Unless the city officials who are most
familiar with the law are much mistaken
regarding the situation the decision an
ticipated from the supreme court VIII
make the calling of an extra session OF
the legislature imperative. Unless the
law be amended before March of next
year, 30 as to authorize'the tax collect
ors to collect the taxes on personal prop
cry unsecured by real estate, none can
be collected. The old law under which
the collections were made has been re-

PHILADELPHIA, August 5.-The
hustle and excitement which prevailed
at the headquarters of the National
League of American Wheelmen since
Tuesday continued today, despite the
threatening clouds and occasional show
ers. Up to noon today over $4,000 mem
bers had registered, with new arrivals
coming in on every train. Since the head
quarters opened over 1000 members have
been enrolled. The scheduled all-day
run to the historic Valley Forge was

Between showers, which grew lighter
as the day advanced, short runs were
taken in every direction through the
city and suburbs, and refreshments and
indoor amusements provided in every
bicycle clubhouse entertained the others.
At 1 o'clock there was every indication
Of clear weather for tomorrow. Should
the weather not be too violent, the races
will be run, rain or shine.
When the time came for the runs
through West Fairmont park and to the
Quaker City club, along the upper Della
ware, the clouds had disappeared and
the sun was shining brightly. The clear
weather continued for the rest of the day
and by night here was every prospect
Of perfect weather for the trial heats
tomorrow and the finals in the after
noon. The track, which is of wood and

A Spirit Combine

CHICAGO, August 5.-According to a
story printed in the Times Herald this
morning, the efforts of leading distillers
and distributors to form combination to
control the production and price of
spirits have at last been successful. The
final details of the plan Of agreement
have, it is said, been decided upon
through recent meetings in Chicago, New
York and Cincinnati during the last six
months The combination is on the per-
centage allotment plan with special
rules, regulations and forfeitures i'm
posed on distributors. Each distiller
producing more than his percentage al
lotment pays monthly into pool a GER
tain sum of the surplus. Each distiller
producing less than his allotment draws
out a similar sum for each gallon short
of the allotment.

at o'clock this morning. There were
four families residing in the building,
and the flames made such rapid head
way that all narrowly escaped with their
lives Miss Bosfield jumped from a
second story window and broke her an
kle. The building was erected by Israel

a lodging house for the past three years.
The loss, amounting to about $4,000, was
covered by insurance. The origin of the
fire is believed to be incendiary.

Brings the Food Inspector
Into Court
PURE CALIFORNIA BRANDY
NOT MADE FROM SYRUP AND
ALCOHOL
Food Inspector Dockery Is Accused
of Crime for Spilling the Stuff
on the Ground

Associated Press Special Wire.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 5.-Food In
spector Dockery appeared before Com
missioner Heacock today for examina-
ton on the charge of having violated the
internal revenue laws by spilling
quantity of brandy which had been man
ufactured by a local firm, while it was
in bond for transit across the continent
for export to Europe, in May last.
The case attracted unusual interest
on account of the fact that the alleged
brandy had been condemned by the local
board of health as adulterated and that
Naval Officer Irish had refused to coun-
tereign the customs certificate on the
ground that it was labeled Pure Cali
fornia Brandy" when in fact it was
adulterated. Ex-Deputy Collector To-
bin testified to the effect that on May
26 he wrote to Collector Wise that he had
discovered S5 barrels of spirits and Is
barrels of brandy that had been manu-
factured into los barrels Of liquor la
beled as above, and that he had found
upon investigation that 1t contained sos
gallons of spirits to 81 gallons Of brandy,
300 gallons of water 1871 gallons Of sy
rup. and some coloring matter and burnt
sugar. He was, however, instructed by
Collector Wise to waive the naval Off
GERS countersign and allow the stuff to
be shipped, and was authorized to
change the brand so as to read, Cali
fornia Brandy" A number of witnesses
swore to having seen Dockery enter a
freight car in which the barrels were To-
Gated and after boring holes in three
of the casks, spill the liquor out of them.
The cars were open and unsealed.
