AN EXPENSIVE NICKEL.
Delinquent Taxpayers Suffer While
Special ATTORNEYS Wax Wealthy.

J. B. Davitt, proprietor of several
bakeries in this city, believes that he has
good cause to complain against one Of
the laws on the statute books that has
been pronounced good law" and consti-
tutional by the, Justices of the Supreme
Court. According to his statement the
statute does work hardship upon him,
and he sees no way out of the difficulty
but to stand the cost.
In 1897 Mr.. Davitt was visited by the
Assessor, to whom he made a statement
of his property, and little later lie paid
his taxes to the Tax Collector. In that
year the rate of taxation was set by the
Supervisors on the same basis as that
of the preceding year.
Unknown to Mr.. DaNitt the Supervisors
found, after fixing the rate, that there
would not q be. enough money to run the
city government, and an additional levy
was fixed. The majority paid the addi-
ton, but many did not, and thereon hangs
the tale. The Supervisors secured the
services of special attorney to collect
in the Justices courts. Yesterday Mr..
Davitt was served with a summons in
forming him of the fact that he had been
sued. for the sum of cents and costs.
The costs are, the main features, for
with advertising, attorneys fees, County
Clerks fees, etc, the amount now is
something like $12-all for a delinquency
of half dime. Hundreds of people have
been made to suffer as. Mr.. .DaVitt has,
amend the law so as to give those who
are delinquent a chance to square them
! selves with the Tax Collector without
| paying such high costs.

DEATH FROM NEGLECT.
Another Helpless Victim of the
Deadly Baby Farm.

Death came mercifuily to little Johnnie
Martin, one Of the infants rescued re-
Gently from Mrs. Susan B. Cunningham 9
baby farm at 81 Clara street The child
died yesterday, and the case was reported
to the Coroner, the physician refusing to
sign the certificate of death.
On December 81 the officers of the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children raided the Cunningham place
and found it in a most filthy and disease
breeding condition. Half dozen infants
were discovered in a semi-starved state,
and the Cunningham woman was said to
be the worse for liquor She was directed
to return the children to their parents or
guardians at once, and among those sent
nome was little John Martin, aged 112
years. The mother lived at 217 Grant
avenue and the father, who is an invalid,
lives anywhere he can find shelter.
Several days ago Officer McMurray
called upon the woman, complaint hav-
ing been made by officer Reavis, and
found the father and child i'll, the boy
suffering from the measles and generally
run down in consequence of his previous
harsh treatment and cruel neglect at the
Cunningham establishment. The mother
had moved to 109 Grant avenue and she
promised to see that the little fellow was
cared for properly. From what the Off
GERS and Morgue officials learned little. il
anything, had been done to relieve the
baby of its sufferings. DR.. Mcconnell
stateG that the baby's death appeared TO
have been caused by neglect and measles.

Contest for Alleged Amateur Middle
Weight Championship a Farce.

The monthly exhibition of the San
Francisco Athletic Club did not please the
large crowd which assembled to witness
it, The contest for the alleged amateur
middle-weight championship of the coast
was fiasco and developed into smuggling
match. .
The contestants were Gus Roster. San
Francisco Club, and ]. ]. Castro, Wat
sonvile Athletic Club. Although sched-
uled to weigh 15S pounds the latter tipped
the beam at nearer 40 pounds An ac-
commodatng gong saved the member of
the home club and gave rise to the re-
mark of a spectator that one could not
get a fair deal unless he was a member
Of the club, j. j. McDevitt was referee
of this bout.
In the first round Castro landed some
terrific right and left handed blows ON
Rosters ribs and head. Roster took the
punishment and landed a vicious blow on
floor. The gong saved him at the count
of six. In the second round Castro de-
livered some more kidney blows on Kos
ter, who got in right on Castro's jaw.
and Castro went to the floor just as the
gong sounded. In the third round Castro
landed on Rosters jaw. The latter went
of four, and Roster staggered to his cor
ner. In the fourth Castro landed on Kos
ter'S ribs and Roster hit castro blow
on the law, and the latter went down and
out.

Eddie Afford of Brooklyn and young Nc
Donald of the San Francisco Athletic
Club, the lads went the six rounds, each
weighing 115 pounds, and Referee Smith
of the Acme Club declared the bout a
draw. although it was the opinion of the
spectators that Afford won on points.

clared a draw by Referee Smith Smith

that would entitle them to a refund, but
they have never been able TO force an

LOOKING FOR THIEVES.
Corps of Patrolmens Rarading the
Business District.

Chief Lees has at present corps of
his most efficient patrolmen, CARRIED in
citizen clothes, parading the business
district in search of a gang of sneak
thieves which operated with considerable
success during the holidays and since.
The object of.this gang, 1t is said, was to
sible from the wagons of the various ex,
press companies.
On one occasion two packages of cigars
valued. at $50 and $50, were taken from one
of Wells, Fargo & Co.'s wagons while
the Jones Delivery Agency lost goods
valued at about SIS. Many, other compa-
MES suffered and the eases were reported
to the police. As the detectives, were I'M
able to round up the gang it. was decided
TO send outs corps of patrolmen. 1t is
their duty to keep an. eye on the various
express wagons, but as the thieves are
extremely clever 1T is doubtful that the
efforts Of the police to jail them will be
successful.

NO COMPROMISE.
The Case Against Certain Merchant

The following statement was given out

Louis de F. Bartlett, secretary, of the

statement appeared in a morning paper
that the committee of teachers were about to
compromise the case now pending against Ger
tain merchant creditors of the last School
Board This merits correction. The terms sug-
gested in that article were incorrect and alto
gether misleading. 1t is true that the teachers
committee has been discussing with the
creditors some basis OF compromise, but no
definite arrangements have been made and the
committee will make without, having first
of all received a direct authorization from the
