EFFECT OF THE DEAL
IN THE WINE SYNDICATE
Outsiders Think Growers Are Better
OFF Outside the Corporation or
Association

NEW YORK. June 27.-One Of the larg-
est California wine merchants in this city
said to-day that the relations between
the Winemakers Corporation and the
Wlnemakers' Association had not bene,,
flied the small or modest dealers and
winegrowers. Continuing he said
IAN arrangement between the two or
CARNATIONS would be all right if the as
ISOLATION did not have the first choice OF
wines controlled by the corporation, but
what chance is there now for dealers who
are not in the association or for wine
makers to dispose Of their product if it
has been rejected by the associa ton
members who have selected the corpora
tons choicest wines? The maker of good
wine is. to my mind. better off outside the
corporation because he can then dispose
of his goods if he wishes to independent
merchants or, in other words he would
have an open market for his wines"

CUT OF ONE MILLION.
County Assessors Assessments Are
Now Almost Complete.

OAKLAND. June 27.-The County As
SCISSOR is now preparing the footings of
the assessment rolls that must be turned
over TO the Supervisors next Monday.
The total figures on the city of Oakland
are just about complete and show a de-
crease in the City's valuation Of about
81 900. Last year the assessment of
Oakland was over $42 900 900. This year it
will be little over Sal 000,0 900.
The manner in which the reduction has
been brought about was explained in an
interview given to The Call b. Mr.. Dalton
some weeks ago. Most Of the cutting has
been done south of Eighth street.
The reduction of one million in the city s
assessment roll means a big reduction in
the city taxes. The present admnistra-
ton is pledged to a dollar tax levy and
the reduction will result in reducing the
citN's income SO 900.

IT is long way from the insane annex
OF the Receiving Hospital to the Office of
the immigration Commissioner in San
Francisco, but the political bridge be-
tween them IS short. The attempt TO re-
move William Heating from the position
of warden of the insane does not depend
so much on the charges made against him
as on a political deal of the seesaw order
with Heating on one end and Tom Craw-
ford on the other.
About a year ago a job was wanted for
Heating. He had been particularly use
full to Hart North in the Fourth Ward.
when North was running for the Assem-
bly,, and naturally North was under obi
cations to him. The opportunity TO repay
this obligation came when North was APP
pointed immigration Commissioner by
Mckinley and had the dispensing of the
patronage of that Federal office.
Tom Crawford at that time was also in
a position where he could fill a vacancy
without canceling any engagements and
he had some strong political friends in
this city TO whom Hart North was also
a political sense. CRAWFORD was ap-
and is still there. North's protege, heat-

North has intimated that the putting out
of the insane warden may result IN the
appointment Of a successor 10 Tom Craw-
ford. This little arrangement is not at
all acceptable and If Heating should be
discharged by the Supervisors it is likely
that he will be taken care of somewhere
else.

would not surprise any one should he re-

arguments that might be advanced why
Heating should not have trial and

retain or discharge him.

The Mayor spoke softly, Mr.. Dow
whispered and City Engineer Clement
merely emitted a sound which was not
always clear enough for Secretary jack
son TO record without asking for re-
petition. The meeting of the Board OF
Public Works occupied about twenty
minutes this morning.
The programme carried out was exactly
as published in The Cali a week ago: Mr..
Snow did not vote to re-elect Street super
intendent Miller although he signnitied
that if he were let alone and not bothered
he would do so in the future. James
Brannan, special police officer. was not
dismissed, and will not be until the new
Chief has had an opportunity to report on
the propriety of such move. Foreman
John Rohan of the Fire Department was
not dismissed, the Mayor limiting that he

Inent would not be for the good of the
department. Charles Hammerton vas not
promoted from patrolman to detective, the
Mayor claiming that there is no vacancy

answers that Mr. BOWS resolutions were
for political effect and not for the good
OF the departments affected. He also
limited that it IS poor policy at this time
TO manipulate the Police Department in
any direction. as Chief Hodgkins Will take
office next Saturday, and he should be
left alone to manage the department and
make recommendations regarding any
needed changes.
Az attempt was made by Mr.. Dow to
have man named Beers substituted for
Mike Hallahan as a member of the de-
partment. but Hallahan won out by the
votes of Snow and Clement. The attempt

But yesterday Feronica Miller was the
owner in fee simple OF 229 acres of land
in Monterey County, being a portion Of
the Rancho Bolsa Nueva Moro Colo or
Castro grant, worth $500 at the lowest
estimate. To-day she filed suit in the
Superior Court of Alameda County
against T. B. Draper, the well-known con-
tractor and builder, residing in Alameda,
for the recovery of the property out Of
which she alleges she has been bunkoed.
According TO her complaint /. b. Draper
recently expressed desire 10 exchange
his property on Willow street and Eagle
avenue, Alameda, for the Monterey Coun-
ty land. which is free from all incum-
brances. Draper, she says, represented TO
her that his Alameda property was worth
$500, incumbered by mortgage for $1lO0
and no more. The deal was closed yes
terday afternoon and the respective deeds
were shortly afterward recorded In both
counties
Mrs. Miller alleges that Immediately
after the recording of the deed for the
Draper property she discovered that al!
of the defendants representations and
statements concerning the mortgage upon
his property were false; that in truth and
mortgages amounting in the aggregate TO
$500; also that the property instead OF DC
ing worth $500 s represented by Draper
is of no greater value than $1,000.
Plaintiff AYERS that said false and
fraudulent statements and representa-
tons were made for the purpose of de-
ceiving plaintiff and with fraudulent In
tent of inducing her to convey to him her
Monterey property.
She charges, too, that she was prevent
ed from examining the title of the Draper
property and from consulting an attorney
in reference to the same, Draper repre-
senting this to be unnecessary and that
it would incur great expense.
Mrs. Miller is past sixty years of age
and can neither read nor write the Eng
fish language She asks, through her at
torney, that the deed to her Monterey
land be Cancelled, offering to reconvey to
Draper his property.
