 ALAMEDA, Feb. 14.-Edward Hill, the 16-year-old burglar. was taken before Justice Morris to-day, where by consent postponed for six months, with the under standing that at that time date would be set for the examination.

Will Not Be Collected in Alameda This
 Year.
Assessor Dalton Finds That Other Counties Have
 Ignored It.
Said to Work a Hardship on Mer Who Reap No SpeclaI
 Benefit.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
 sos Broadway, Feb. IA.

90S Broadway, Feb IA.
 There will be no road poll tax col lected in Alameda County this year. Supervisor Mitchell introduced reso- lution at the meeting of the board to- day setting forth that the tax is un- just, and 1t was unanimously carried after a warning from MT. Talcott that the board had better not get into poli- tics too early in the campaign.
 Assessor Dalton does not believe that the road poll tax is just and equitable, and he has been in communication with County Assessors in other parts of the State on the matter. Now that the northern territory between old Oak land and Berkeley is annexed to this city, this district Is not liable to be taxed for road poll tax, and MT. Dal- ton does not see why the balance of the outside territory should be made to pay.
 AS a result of the canvass of twenty five counties, Assessor Dalton has re- ceived replies that show that twelve of the largest of them do not collect the tax, believing it to be oppressive and vicious.
 The counties in which the tax is not collected are: Los Angeles, Santa Clara, San Joaquin, Placer, Shasta. San O1eSO. SJdn1SIduS, MerCeQ, 1uldre, Kings and Kern. In Tulare the usual resolution was passed by the Supervis- ors up till last year, but it was aban- doned in 1897.
 The tax is eminently unjust" said the Assessor this morning. because it is discriminatory. It produces more hard feeling than all the rest of the taxes put together. It is such a small amount and falls on such few that it should not be collected. Of course, the Assessor will lose his commission, but 1 do not care for that.
 Tt is this way: People as a rule do not object to the poll tax, because the money goes to the public schools. But any poor fellow who happens to live outside an incorporated city or town should not be forced to pay another $2 for the use of roads which he does not use more than anybody else. Take the Haywards road, for example. It does not seem right to garnishee the wages of each of the boys for S4 when they get no benefit from, it that every other citizen does not get. The amount pro- duced by road poll tax last year was S6000. This year without the annexed district it will be much smaller, and it would be outright to put it in the tax levy as so many other counties have done and let the tax be evenly distrib-

Frightened Away a Burglar.

OAKLAND, Feb. 14. = Mrs Matilda Brown. a daughter of Frederick Delger and mother of Everett Brown. the uni versity football manager, was aroused about 2 o'clock this morning by a bur- glar in her room.

An examination of the house showed that the intruder had forced an entrance through side window and ran sacked the lower floor before going above. He had gathered a lot of clothing and other things into a bundle and had taken them to the back gate, but in his haste did not take them away.

SHOCKING TRAGEDY IN IDAHO
MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR RESULT
ING IN TWO DEATHS.
Charred Bodies of a Man and a Wo-
man Found In the Ruins of a
Burned Brewery.

Kendrick, Ida, July 29.-One of the
most shocking and mysterious TRACE
dies ever committed in the Potlatch
country took place today at a building
known as The Brewery" about one
and a half miles east of Kendrick, re-
sulting in the burning of the building
and the remains, charred almost be-
yond recognition, of Mrs. e. E. Mara
seek, wife of the proprietor of the Ken
drick market, and Nicholas Gehlen, the
owner of the building.
The building was first discovered on
fire at O'clock this morning by six
farmers who were driving to town, but
who made no effort to save the struc-
ture, believing that there was no one
inside, and fearing tat perhaps there
was giant powder about While the
men were watching the building two
shots were heard, which, it is now be-
lieved, were the ones that caused the
death of the occupants. Whether there
was a fight between them over bust
ness affairs that they were interested
in, resulting in the murder, has been
covered up by the fire, which. burned
the forms so that it is impossible to
tell.
That the fire was premeditated is
shown from the fact that it was start
ed in the west end of the building
while the living rooms were n the east
end. Only about Is minutes before the
fire Gehlen was seen at the door The
body of Mrs. Maraseck, when discov-
cred, had the head and lower limbs
burned entirely off, and Gehlen was
about in the same condition.
