SLOT MACHINES
MUST PAY TAXES
Collector Smith Begins Cru
SADIE Against Many Owners
Who Are Without Permits

At a conference held yesterday by the
Supervisors Finance Committee and
Tax Collector Smith it was decided TO
begin a crusade against nickel-in-the-
slot machines on which no license tax
is paid. Smith said there were between
400 and 500 such machines in this city.
He was directed to compel payment Of
the licenses, and refusal 10 pay will re-
suit in the arrest of owners.
The Collector said that no assistance
was given by the Police Department in
the matter, the Police Commissioners
claiming that the machines are unlaw-
full under four decisions of the Supreme
Court. The Finance Committee thought
IL would be a good opportunity TO de-
termine the legality of maintaining the
machines. If the owners refused to pay
the license then they must either re-
move the machines or submit TO arrest,
the committee said.
It was calculated that the city is los
ing about 1000 yearly by non-pay-
ment Of the licenses Smith will detail
ten men to-day TO serve notices on the
delinquent owners. II these owners do
not comply at once warrants will be
Committee agreed to supplement the
Tax Collectors efforts in whatever
manner he deemed advisable.
The committee will visit the tax Of
fee on Monday to inspect its workings.
Comparisons will be made with the IL
censes paid in other cities with view
10 revising the existing ordinances if
deemed advisable. The object of the
conference was merely to arrive al
means to improve the collecting of the
city's revenues.

TEDDY'S NEPHEW
IS A SCRAPPER
Granville FOrtescue Uses
His Fists on Hickman
and Goes to City Jail
ON WAY TO WASHINGTON
Representative of Army
in Oriental War Comes
to Grief in Street Row

Lieutenant Granville r. Fortescue OF
the Tenth United States Cavalry, a
nephew of President Roosevelt, who re-
turned on the steamer Doric from the
Orient on Monday after spending some
time with the Japanese forces as spe-
cial representative of the army, with
the object of making report to Wash
ington on the progress of the war, had
the unenviable experience of being con-
fined for six hours in cell at the City
Hall police station yesterday morning
He was arrested on charge OF dis
turbing the peace, and failing to appear
in Judge Cabaniss court yesterday
forenoon his bail Of $40 was declared
forfeited.
The lieutenant, dressed in a tuxedo
suit. had been making a disturbance
in Techau's Tavern, on Mason street,
and was finally induced to leave about
midnight. A hack was standing IN
front of the entrance and the lieuten-
ant jumped into it. S. G. Lowenberg,
the hackman, was in the act of closing
the door when the lieutenant came out
and demanded to see Lowenberg's Ii
cense. Lowenberg showed him his
badge, but that did not satisfy the lieu
tenant.
What are you giving me?" he said,
as he shot out his right hand and
caught Lowenberg on the jaw. Lowen-
berg returned the blow and was get
ting the worst of the encounter when a
man with black mustache went to his
assistance. This man was knocked out
of business in quick order by the lieu
tenant, who abruptly left the scene and
walked toward Eddy street. He was
followed by a crowd, which attracted
the attention of Policeman F. w. Hand
ley.
HandIey pushed his way through the
crowd and asked the lieutenant what
was the matter
There is nothing the matter" said
the lieutenant.
We'll" said Handley, you seem to
be the center of attraction, and there
must be something the matter"
Arrest me, arrest me-" angrily re-
torted the lieutenant II am the nephew
of the President. 1 want you to lock
me up"
II shall certainly arrest you" said
Handley. IF you don't tell me what's
the matter
The lieutenant again demanded that
the officer arrest him, and Handley
complied. While waiting for the patrol
wagon the lieutenant said to Handley,
Il will give you a merry time for this,
and Handley told him to go ahead. The
lieutenant was driven in the patrol
wagon to the City Hall station, where
a charge of disturbing the peace was
booked against him. He gave his cor
rect name and his occupation as sol
,dier." He was locked in cell. but was
released on $40 cash bail shortly after
o'clock in the morning.

{. H. MARKHAM
IS TO RETIRE
General Manager of South
ern Pacific Resigns to Go
With a Big Oil Company
NEWS IS A SURPRISE
Will Leave for Texas as
Soon as His Successor Is
Chosen by E. H. Hartman

Charles H. Markham, general man
ager Of the Pacific system of the South
ern Pacific Company, has resigned his
position to accept a similar one with
the Guffey Petroleum Company of
Texas. The announcement of his re-
tirement from the railroad company
was formally made by him yesterday
and will take effect as soon as his sue
cessor is named by President E. H.
Hartman In making his announce
ment General Manager Markham said
yesterday:
l am about to leave the employ OF the
Southern Pacific Company for no other reason
than l have been offered another position
which insures me larger salary. I will re-
tire from the road with the deepest regret
ana, am sure, with the best wishes of my
present employers. For several months nego-
tiations between the who control the
Gufey Petroleum Company and myself have
been going on and have finally resulted in my
accepting the position of general manager of
the latter concern. 1 do not know exactly
it will be Immediately after its officers have
selected man TO succeed
Markham's resignation was forward
ed to President Hartman four weeks
ago with request that it be accepted
as soon as possible. Immediately upon
its receipt in the East he was sum-
moned to Chicago, where an effort was
made by Director of Maintenance and
Operations Kruttschnitt and other Har-
riman officials to induce him to recon-
slider his plans and stay with the cor
poration.
The retirement of General Manager
Markham was a surprising bit of in
| formation to the majority of the rail-
road chiefs in the railroad building
yesterday and they FASTENED to their
superior's office, eager to get personal
confirmation of the announcement.
Markham is regarded as a very capable
railroad man, having risen from the
position of section hand through vari-
Gus branches of the traffic and operat-
ing departments to his present office.
He came here about six months ago
from the Hartman lines in Texas as
successor to julius Kruttschnitt and
during his short stay here he has made
himself extremely popular with the
public and his associates in the rail-
road world.
1t was stated yesterday by General
Manager Markham that the Southern
Pacific officials had not yet decided
who will succeed him but he expects
they will find a man within the next
few days.

ing Process of Court to Ex-
tort Money.

tort Money.
John Dobler yesterday sued for an
Injunction to prevent Samuel New
man and Jules c. Carnage from ex-
ecuting a judgment obtained against
him for 1886 in Justice Daniels court.
The complainant accuses Carnage OF
practicing fraud and abusing the pro-
cess of the court to extort money
from the plaintiff. The debt is an
old one. Dobler was sued by New
man in June, 1887, but on a show
ing that he was unable to pay his OBJ
legations he went through insolvency
proceedings. Newman was appointed
receiver and got So as a preferred
creditor.
Carnage, it is alleged, knew of the
insolvency matter. but on August p
last appeared before Justice Daniels
and represented that he was acting for
the plaintiff in the old case. Dobler
SAYS that the court was ignorant of
the situation and Carnage falsely and
fraudulently" obtained judgment
The complainant further declares
that Carnage had not then nor has
he at any time been admitted to prac-
tice.

The Delineat0r for AUGUST.

In addition to entertaining fiction
for leisure hours, the August Delin-
Gator contains something for each of
the practical needs of woman. In
dress, the latest styles are depicted,
with the aid of handsome colored
plates and drawings in black and
white; and the movements in fashions
described. The kitchen, the table, the
garden, the nursery, beside the lighter
interests OF woman, such, as her read
ing, her clubs and other amusements,
are treated from various standpoints.
The literary features of the number
are of the highest order. There are
three storiettes that furnish the exact
flavor that is looked for in summer
reading, by Carroll Watson Rankin,
Alice MACEDONIAN and Cyrus Town.
send Brady. Lille Hamilton French,
in the delightful "Joy of Living"
series, writes on the Manner of Re-
ceiving, and seumas MacManus and

Japanese Women in the War" gives
some very interesting information,
and is illustrated with exclusive por-
traits of women who are prominent
in the patriotic associations of Japan.
Bodily symmetry is the subject of the
"Beauty" paper. The story of Eliza.
beth Kenton, wife of the noted Indian
fighter, General Simon Kenton, is
told in the "Pioneer Women" series,
and in the pictorial trip around the
