The substitution OF crude oil In place

oil fuel has three distinct advantages
over coal. First. 1t requires much less
labor to handle 1t. This Is a serious
consideration on the plantations, where
every labor-saving device and process

one man to do the work of two. even
though its operation costs as much as
the two men do. Is a distinct advance.

their ability TO keep step with the age.

HAZEN RETURNS FROM
TRIP TO LOS ANGELES
Secures Damaging Evidence That Re
suits in Conviction of Two
French Counterfeiters.

United States Secret Service Agent
George w. Hazen returned last night from
Los Angeles, where he had been for more
than two weeks past engaged in secur-
ing evidence against two counterfeters.
Emile Bruder and Clement Duschense.
The men were tried by Judge Wellborn in
the United States District Court, found
guilty of counterfeiting and sentenced to
five years each in San Quentin.
Both counterfeiters are Frenchmen and
they operated in small canyon outside
the city limits of Los Angeles. They
were engaged in making 50-cent pieces
and were finally taken into custody, after
a hard battle. in which several shots
were fired. Shortly before the case came
to trial. Bruder fell heir to $500 by the
death of a relative in France so the best
legal talent was secured to defend the
pair.
Agent Hazen worked steadily on the
case and secured lot of evidence which
convinced the jury of the guilt of the ac-
cused men after being out just fifteen
minutes. While working on the case Haz-
en- ran across a cache of counterfeit
coins on a deserted ranch. Upon inves-
tigation it was learned that the bogus
money had been buried there several
years ago by two Italians, who are now
doing time for counterfeiting.

CITY'S TAX RATE
To Be SETTLED
Hibernia Bank Prepares
to Bring Mandamus
Proceedings.
Wants a Lower Assessment
Used in Figuring Mu-
mic pal Levy

Verbal notification was received yester-
day in the Tax Collectors and Auditor S
offices that the Hibernia Bank will to-
day bring mandamus proceedings in the
Supreme Court to enjoin Auditor Baehr
from carrying out on the assessment
books the new tax rate of S4.4 cents for
city purposes, based on the increased val
uation of $40 100000 as fixed by the State
Board Of Equalization. The papers in
the case have already been prepared by
the attorneys of the bank.
The mandamus proceedings will be sup
plemented by a petition of the banking
corporation that Auditor Baehr be cited
to show cause why he should not carry
out two valuations on the roll instead Of
one.
The bank declares that the legal course
that should be followed is to figure the
taxes for municipal purposes at $LO76
the rate adopted last June by the Board
or Supervisors based on the assessment
valuation of 1922 900. as returned by
Assessor Dodge.
The State tax rate of 56.1 cents on
every 500 of assessed valuation. the bank
claims, should be calculated on the assess
ment roll of $40 900, 600, as fixed by the
State Board of Equalization.
1t is said that the mortgages held by
the bank will be invalidated in the event
that the new city tax rate of S4.4 cents is
inquired instead of the old rate of $l.076
as fixed by the Board of Supervisors last
June, according to charter requirements
One peculiar feature about the bank
taking the initiative in the matter is that
under the new rate banking concerns and
holders of mortgages would have to pay
some $4,000 less in taxes because the
State raise does not affect mortgages,
moneys or solvent credits. Nevertheless,
the city rate of $1076. based on the as
sessment roll of 10000, 900, is regarded
to be the only legal rate. 1t is expected
that the Supreme Court will give an early
decision on the point involved.
The injunction will result in stopping
the work of carrying out the taxes on
the roll by the Auditor. who will prob
ably be compelled to ask for an extension
OF time from the second Monday in Oc-
tober, when he is required to turn the
books over to the Tax Collector
