years ago. the fftieth anniversary Of the coro-
nation OF tho Austrian monarch, and already,
notwithstanding the condition Of affairs that
prevails in the empire. elaborate preparations
are being made for the event.
Austrian monarchs with a record of fifty
years upon the throne are rare in history. In
deed, there has been only one other such since
the founder of tho house Of Hapsburg. Rudolph
J., assembled what.was then the throne OF Aus
tria and of Germany as well in 1878. more than
six centuries ago. Rudolph of Hapsburg
reigned only thirteen years, and the one Austrian
or Aust German monarch in the long line be-
tween Rudolph and Francis joseph who ruled
for more than fifty years was Frederick ".
He was known as the Pacific POSSIBLY the at
tribute of placidity accounted for his long
reign, and ascended the throne In 1899 and

to the Tyrol in May; an insurrection among the
Bohemians against the power Of the Emperor

AN INHERITANCE SPENT.
Sheriff Whelan Levies on the Real
Estate Owned by Charles
III. Luz

Another illustration of the ease with
which large fortunes are dissipated by the
heirs of rich men is found in the case Of
Charles H. Lux of San Jose, nephew of
the deceased millionaire, Charles Lux. All
of the property derived from the Lux es-
tate in which young Charles and his wife
have an interest will be Immediately at
tached by order of the Sheriff of Santa
Clara County to satisfy Superior Court
judgment for s11,775 obtained by the Gar
den City Bank and Trust Company in
San Jose. Notice was sent to Sheriff
Whelan yesterday and he at once took
steps to levy attachments on the following
described pieces of real estate: AT Mari
posa street and Potrero avenue, 200 feet;
south side Market street, near Eleventh,
80 feet; Twentieth and Guerrero streets,
81 feet Fourth avenue and Platte street,
$50 feet; Islais and Kentucky streets, 1872
feet.
Charles II. LUX is a young man 81
years of age. He married a well-known
society girl of San Jose a few years ago.
His share of the Lux estate amounted to
SIT 500, as nearly as can be estimated
This sum proved utterly insufficient for
his needs and Indebtedness began to pile
up, which could not be carried longer.

Black Must Suffer.

The Supreme Court has affirmed the
judgment of the lower court in the case
of John Black, who was convicted of a
felony. The charge was that Black stole
quantity of jewelry in Canada and
brought it to this city, which under the
law is as great an offense as If the lar
ceny had been committed here. The ap-
peal was based upon the technicality that
while this law applies as between States,
the court, has no jurisdiction where a
foreign country is concerned. The Su-
preme Court took the broader view Of the
case and paid no attention to that con-
tention, but affirmed the Judgment upon
the phrase, Convicted as If such larceny
had been committed in this State"

AGAINST TAXING
THE MERCHANTS
Oakland Business Men
Raise Objections.

POINT OF VIEW OF COUNCIL
MAN WOODWARD.
If He We're a. Wine Merchant He
Would Not Agitate the Mat

90S Broadway, Sept 6.
The Merchants Committee having in
hand the protest against the Earl License
Ordinance now before the Council, met
this morning and heard the opinion Of
Councilman Woodward in the matter.
Mr.. Woodward did not give the merchants
a great deal of satisfaction. He said:
THE city should take care of its environ
ments and the money should be raised by
a tax to which all contribute. Now would
1t be better to have a general tax levy to
money by special licenses? have not as
yet decided this matter, and want to vote
the way that will meet with general ap-
prevail. The levy for this year will be
LII and with the expense OF the Lake
Merritt improvements it will have to be
raised to 137. / think that the liquor IL
cense is too high now; 1t should be ad.
justed and others should bear their part. +"
George E. Fairchild said that in an
emergency year, such as this, 1t is surely
not good policy to lower the liquor license
and put an extra tax on merchants, to
which Councilman Woodward replied that
If he were wine merchant he would not
agitate the matter for fear of stirring up
a license of $500 quarter instead or 800.
He said that doctors, lawyers" dentists,
expressmen and all classes should con-
tribute to the tax.
NJ J. Keller said this license matter
came up eleven years ago and 1t was de,
cided then that the merchants should
have some recognition In the city govern
ment. The liquor license and the mer-
chants license were separate at, that
time. The same conditions prevail now
that existed then. mo fair-minded citi-
zen,' said Mr.. Keller, will think of tax
ing the merchants further They are
taxed now more than any other class.
The merchants create no great necessity
for protection from the city government.
We pay for our own special police; our
own lights, besides which we pay large
tax on our stock and give freely to chart
ties, fairs and donations of all kinds.
H C. Capwell Sol Kahn, A. A. Pen
noyer, A. Salinger and others spoke on
the measure against the taxing Of the
merchants and the reducing of saloon liz
censes. The committee will meet again
Tomorrow morning
