BASEBALL MINES PUNISHED.
Santa Cruz and Fresno Heavily Fined
 for Squabbling Over Last SIpdav's Game

A special meeting of the executive committee of the Pacific Coast Baseball League was held at the offices of Pres ident Bert in the Clunie building last evening to consider the disputed game at Fresno on Sunday last between the Fres- no and Santa Cruz teams. The entire board of officers and all the members of tffe executive committee were present A large number of witnesses were ex- amined, including the captains of the contesting teams and Umpire Burleigh, who officiated. Affidavits were also pre- sented, and a petition numerously signed by residents of Fresno was read. Upon the conclusion of the taking of testimony the executive committee held an execu- tive session, upon the conclusion of which it was announced that the management of the Santa Cruz team was fined s100 for leaving the grounds during the eighth inning, and before the conclusion of the game. The Fresno team was fined $25 for not using the official umpire desig- mated by the president, and an additional S75 for not settling promptly with the vis- iting team.
 In an interview last night President Bert said: 'This business of teams leav- ing the diamond before the conclusion of the game must be stopped. Baseball play CTS have no right to quit under any pre- text before the end of the game after the baseball loving public have paid the price of admission with the expectation of seeing a game. 1 have instructed Mr. Stevens, the secretary of the league, to notify the management of all the teams in the Pacific Coast League that if sim liar offense Is committed again during the season I shall expel the captain of the offending team and fine every member of the team quitting. If I am not sus- tained in this action by the manager of an offending team l shall deem such con- duct sufficient justification to forfeit the franchise of the offending managers. think such a course Is but justice to the baseball loving public who support the national game, My reason for expelling the captain and simply fning the other players Is that no team will leave the dia- mond unless ordered to do so by it's cap tain, but there ought to be something to prevent disgruntled or dissatisfied players from leaving the field and disappointing the audience"

estate brokers to record the actual
 amount and value of every deed record ed and filed in the city archives-a GUS tom which has heretofore been abso- luteIy ignored. Every deed made, trans l ferred or filed must of necessity set forth and state the exact value of the deed re- corded, in order that the proper Govern ment tax may be collected upon 1t in proportion to its true value. Heretofore
 the value of a deed has often been der to deiude the Assessor and escape the
 tax which would result from it's exact appraisement. Deeds have been recorded below their value by a joint agreement by the real estate broker and the person involved, the former being remhnerated
 tafning silence with the usual consldera-
 ton, dictated by custom, of $1G. The only possible loss that the real estate
 men seem to discern, as a consequence of the tax, is in the sale of property and
 the collection of rents, including various other minor transactions.
 The tax collected on rents is regulated
 and depends solely on the extent of time and the value of the collection. Ordi- narily the sum collected on a rent of $50 is placed at ten cents, which the broker is compelled to defray out of the commission
 he receives for collecting the money
 | Unless the Government stamp is affixed to every receipt given or taken, such re- ceipt can be declared null and void AS | a consequence of this fact the Revenue Collectors office was deluged yesterday by hundreds of applicants, eager to get possession of the legal forms in order to carry on their business. Long before the demand was satisfied, however, the sup ply was exhausted, and in order to make
 up the deficiency, 2-cent stamps were is-

REALTY INVOLVED.
Henceforth the Actual Value Of Property Must. Be
 Stated

With the issuance of the internal reve- nue stamps for the collection of the various taxes placed by the Government upon the. business men of the community has come a general, although not ex- pressed, dissatisfaction.
 The insurance and real estate brokers content themselves with the fact that money collected from them personally will be paid by those with whom they deal, and consequently such an act of govern ment is to be applauded and not decried. To oppose the tax, especially as 1t is for the good of the country, would be incon- sistent in the extreme, and would have a tendency to conflict with the principles of patriotism. Although the insurance men contemplate a partial payment of the gen. eral tax, the real estate brokers are sangliine that, as far as they are con- cerned, the money expen~ed by them In the purchase of the necessary stamps will be in the long run returned by the pub lie.

Mrs. Kleupfer Files a Suit for Di- vorce and Charges All Manner of Cruelty to Herself
 and Children.

 David Kleupfer has been made the de- fendant in a ivorce suit. A few weeks ago Kleupfer was suing his wife, Lucy, for maintenance, on the ground that she was rich and he did not have a cent. His wife won the case. Now she alleges that for just a quarter of a century she has been subjected to cruelty and abuse from her husband. They were married during the Civil War, and for about ten years they apparently lived happily. In 1881 the wife ayers that her husband struck her with his fist and threatened to break her head with a bureau drawer. Two years later he modified his cruelty by attempting to cut her throat.
 Still later MT. Kleupfer chased his eldest daughter out of the house, after which he proceeded to threaten his wife with a shotgun, and, she says, would have killed her but for the interference of the chil- wife's ranch in Brooklyn Township, the husband again threatened to sever her head, as well as that of her eldest son.
 There is one allegation which is cer- tainly up to date. In June of 1885, Mrs. Kleupfer says her husband was chasing their daughter with brick. When the wife remonstrated, the complainant says, The dropped the brick, drew a knife and advancing like a Spanard threatened to kill her." The peculiarity of this is that he was only prevented from carrying out his design by a Spaniard named Frank Garcia, the hired man. Butcher knives, clubs, broken teeth and other adjuncts to matrimonial unhappineSS figure freely in the complaint.

sos Broadway, July l.
 The arrangements for the Fourth of July are now complete. This morning Grand Marshal Webb Pearce announced that the line of march will be from the foot of Broadway to Sixth street, thence to Washington, to Fourteenth, into Broad way, down to Seventh, where it will countermarch and proceed out to Twenty fourth street, where the reviewing stand will be stationed.
 The parade will start at 10:05 a. m. and all organizations are expected to be in line at 9:30. The committees are all busy taking the necessary precautions to see that their plans are faithfully executed.
 The City Hall will be decorated and the nagging between Councilmen regard ing the small fund required is ended. Councilman Earl telegraphed to Presi- dent Heitman, who is now out of the State, and the latter consented to vote for the necessary appropriation. This insureS a sufficient vote to pass the bill for bunting, flags and greenery, and the work of beautifying the municipal barn has been commenced.
 The military authorities are taking great interest in the sham battle which will be fought in the afternoon on Adams Point. The plans for the attack and de- fenSe are very elaborate and will be car ried out by 2500 soldiers.
 The parade committee has not yet re- ceived reply from Governor Budd, but there is firm belief that he will accept the invitation to attend the sham fight. It has been decided to hold the exercises in the Macdonough Theater. Captain Witthorne of Tennessee, a brother of the Congressman. will be one of the speak CTS.
 The finance committee is receiving lib- eral support, and there will be no possi- bility of a deficit.
 The Mexican War veterans will assem- ble at the City Hall and will be provided with carriages. Mayor Thomas is mak- ing another effort to secure the Wyoming Battery for the parade. A yacht gun will be placed at the foot of Broad way to fire salutes, and 1t is probable that the Eighth Regiment at Camp Barrett will take part in the celebration
 Company A, Fifth Regiment, has been accepted by the committee, and will do sentry duty at the battle ground
