FORD'S GOODNESS.
1t Saved Mrs. Larkin From Suf-
ferinp a Horrible Death.

Engineer Cornelius j. Ford brought
the Lathrop accommodation train into
this city yesterday evening, and at
Tenth and r streets was making reg
ulation speed, being on time to the
minute.
Engineer Ford had his eyes about him
while making the run through the city,
and when his engine neared the Tenth
street crossing, saw an old woman
trundling a small wagon along the
track some distance further down.
The engineer pulled the lever and
whistled a warning note, but the
woman instead of stepping from the
track, hesitated and then made a dead
set
BY this time the train was rapidly
approaching, and Engineer Ford, see
ing that the woman had lost her head,
applied the air brakes and reversed
his engine, bringing the ponderous ma
chine to a stop when not more than
three feet from the woman and the
hand cart.
The woman was Mrs. Mary J. Lar
kin, who sells milk in the section of
the city in which she so nearly met
her death, using the cart to convey the
product from door to door,
She had not heard the train approach
and when the warning whistle sounded
became frustrated hesitated as to
which way to go, and finally stood still
until the train stopped. Except for
the GOODNESS of Engineer Ford Coroner
Clark would have had another case

SAN FRANCISCO'S ASSESSOR.
EQUALIZATION BOARD LOCKS
HORNS WITH HIM.
For Two Years He Has Neglected
to Answer Questions Pre-
scribed by Law.

The State Board of Equalization has
locked horns with Assessor Siebe of San
Francisco, and just where the matter
Will end, or whether it is already ended,
does not appear on the surface.
The Board of Equalization, prior to
it's session, sends return sheets to all
County Assessors, whose duty it is to
fill in the blanks and return the same
TO the board as its chief guide in equal
izing the assessment of the county in
question. Among the questions con-
tanned in the forms issued by the board.
for answers to which blank spaces are
left, are the following:
Value of property affected by mort
cages
Assessed value of trust deeds and
mortgages on real estate"
In filling out the blank of the latter
question, Assessor Siebe set in the fig
ures 80, ,715, ,057," but after the former
there was nothing. He returned the
question without an answer, and for
reasons not hard to understand the
board wished to know the value OF
property affected by mortgages in San
Francisco.
Accordingly a letter was sent to AS
SCISSOR Siebe calling attention to the
fact that the blank had not been filled
and requesting him to furnish the miss
ing figures.
Yesterday the board received the re-
ply Of Assessor Siebe, in which he
stated that the force in his office had
been so busy in making out the usual
rolls and collecting personal property
tax that no time was had in which to
search the records for the value of
property affected by mortgages.
Some of the members of the State
Board are not at all choice in their ex-
pressions concerning the methods en-
ployed by San F'rancisco's Assessor.
They point to his 1896 return, which
shows that the same oversight as that
protested against at the present time
occurred, and that the figures after the
question, Value of property affected
by mortgages are conspicuous by their
absence.
Some of the members of the board
figure it out that Assessor Siebe's over
sight is scarcely to be ranked as an
oversight. They point to the possibility
that the mortgages on individual pieces
of property may exceed the amount OF
assessments. This leads them to an
other discussion. which is that the
money lenders always place sufficient
interest on a loan to pay the taxes be-
sides giving them the usual rate. Then
if a mortgage is drawn for $1,000 and
assessed for $1,000, the mortgage SIM
ply rakes down the tax per cent, which
the mortgagor pays on $1,000, and
smiles while the county sweats.
At any rate, the State Board of
Equalization has not yet found out
the value of property affected by mort
cages in San Francisco.

A NEW DEPARTURE.
Controller Authorizes a Tax Col
lector to Sell the States Land.

The Legislature of 1895 passed an
enactment empowering the State Con-
troller at his discretion, to authorize
Tax Collectors to offer for sale at pub
lie aution, and sell to the highest bid
der any property that may have been
sold to the State for non-payment of
taxes. and for which deeds have been
made.
Thousands of acres of land so ac-
uuired are held by the State, but until
Yesterday the law of 1895 has re-
mained a dead letter, and there has
been no chance to determine it's va
lidity.
Yesterday, however, Controller Col
gan authorized the Tax Collector of
Contra Costa County to advertise and
sell two tracts Of such land lying with
in the confines of that county, and
while it is thought no test case Will
be had in either of these-there being
persons ready and eager to purchase
the Controller proposes to continue au-
thorizing such sales until his right to
do so is finally contested, when the
Supreme Court will be asked to pass
upon the validity of the law.
The section of the Political Code un-
der which the Controller is acting and
which he is anxious to have the Su-
preme Court pass upon, is 1897, and
reads as follows:
whenever the State shall become
the owner of any property sold for
taxes, and the deed to the State has
been filed with the Controller, as pro-
vided in section three thousand seven
hundred and eight-five, the Controller
may thereupon, by a written authori-
zatiOn direct the Tax Collector of the
county, or city and county, to sell the
property, or any part thereof as in his
judgment he shall deem advisable, in
the manner following: He must give
notice of such sale by first publish
ing a notice for at least three success
sive weeks in some newspaper publish
ed in the county, or city and county, or
if there be no newspaper published
therein, then by posting a, notice in
three conspicuous places in the county,
or city and county, for the same period
Such notices must state specifically the
place of. and the day and hour of sale
and shall contain a description of the
property to be sold and shall also
embody copy of the authorization re-
ceived from the Controller At the time
set for such sale. the Tax Collector
must sell the property described in the
Controllers authorization and said no
tices, at public auction, to the highest
bidder for cash, in lawful money of
the United States; but no bid shall be
received or accepted at such sale for
less than the amount of all taxes levied
upon such property, and all interests,
costs, penalties, and expenses up to
the date of such sale. The expense of
the publication of the notice herein
required shall be a charge against the
county,
