OPPOSE REPEAL OF TAX
ON PUBLIC DANCE HALLS
Supervisors Not in Favor of Proposed
Ordinance That Was Introduced
by IunSfedf

The Supervisors joint Judiciary
License and Police Committee yester-
day had under consideration a pro-
posed ordinance repeating the license
tax of SIS per quarter on public dance
halls and bathrooms. Lunstedt, who
introduced the ordinance, argued that
it was an injustice to exact a liquor
license in addition to the SIS license
from such places and thought the lat
ter should be abolished. Comte and
Brandenstein expressed themselves as
opposed to the repeal, as it would af-
feet many dives along Barbary Coast.
Comte wanted the roll call to settle
the matter at once, but Boxton
thought further inquiry should be had.
Chief of Police Whitman sent word
that he protested against abolishing
the license, and action was postponed
for two weeks.
The committee expected to receive
the report of City Architect Shea rel
ative to the safety of theaters and
lodging houses, but Shea did not put
in appearance. The committee de-
cided to take up the matter next Fri
day at D. m.
The Judiciary Committee rejected
the petition of the estate of Charles
Hanson, deceased, for the refund of
$3.50 20 taxes illegally collected on
stock of the Tacoma Mill Company.
The committee allowed Thomas
Price 800 on his demand of $3.50 for
expert services in the Soeder murder
case.
The committee allowed Judge Fritz
copy of the Penal Code for 1903,
but owing to lack of funds denied his
request for civil codes, code of civil
procedure and political code.
The claim of John P. German for
injuries received by falling into q
street excavation was denied.
The committee expressed itself in
favor of compelling the use of both
non-combustible oil and an independ-
ent electric circuit for exit lights in
theaters.

CLAIMS AGAINST EPPINGERs.
Judge Kerrigan Passes Upon Proof of
Debts Amounting to $1SO,00O.

Two claims, footing $3.50, 900. against
the insolvent Pacific Coast Warehouse
Company, involving unpaid loans
made to Eppinger & Co., were allowed
in the Superior Court yesterday by
Judge Kerrigan. The proof of debt
for the Colusa County Bank in the
sum of $150,000 was made by the
cashier of the institution, T. Harring-
ton, and the debt of $4,000 to the
Bank of Woodland, in Yolo County,
was made by Cashier ]. S. Craig.
The borrowings of the Eppingers
from the Colusa bank extended over
a period from September 25. 1901, to
December 13, 1902. The amounts
ranged from s2725 to $28,000 and the
securities given consisted in negotia-
BILE receipts on the Pacific Warehouse
Company for grain in quantities from
1917 sacks to 24,918 sacks. The grain
given as security amounted to 10000
tons, but on June s, 1908, there was
only $500 tons in the warehouse and
because of the removal of the tags
from the sacks this could not be iden-
titled as representing any of the re-
ceipts given. 1t is alleged that the
warehouse company converted all of
the grain to its own use.
The proof offered by the Woodland
bank was Of the same character, the
largest sum borrowed by the Epping-
ers having been $11.300 on March 21.
1908. The security was 74S7 sacks of
grain and the banks share in what
remained in the warehouse was not
worth more than 800.

DREDGING ON THE YUBA.

The Marysville Democrat, describing
great dredgers that have been built to
operate near the channel of the Yuba
River a few miles east of Marysville
says that the first one is ready to work
and the second will soon be finished and
join in the work. The dredgers are 265
feet long. They cost about 500, 900 each
The buckets will be able to dig to the
depth of sixty feet. The Democrat says:
Each of the large iron buckets will take up
an average of six cubic feet of sand silt and
gravel to be washed and gold extracted.
Twenty buckets can be dumped in one minute,
an average to each boat of about 64S0 cubic
yards in a run of twenty-four hours. II the
deposits contain the amount of gold reported.
readily be seen that these two dredgers will
extract a large sized fortune in a month. A
large amount Of electric power is necessary to
operate one of these boats, as there, are eight
motors to each The main motor is 100 horse
power two of 30 horsepower, two of 20 and
the others less, the total horsepower being
279 When in running condition. after all ma
chinery is in order and working as expected,
eight men will comprise shift on each
dredge. and they will work eight hours each.
The great boats stand about forty-fve feet
above the water in which they float
The Democrat also calls attention to
the fact that additional machines will
be constructed for work along the
channel of the Yuba River. Quartz
mining is more actively prosecuted in
Yuba County than at any preceding
time. The dredgers open up a new in
dustry.
According to the Bakersfield Califor-
nian there is renewed activity in the
Kern County oil fields. The Californian
says:

for the purchase of oil from independent COM
panies and acquiring new properties in other
fields, but 1t is also arranging to reopen sew

hitherto neglected. Among those TO be started

CLASH BETWEEN
CITY OFFICIALS
DIR. POheim of Health Board
Takes Exception toRemark
of Supervisor d'AncOna
LIE PASSED AT MEETING
Trouble Arises Over Effort to
Have Finance Committee
Back Down From Report

There was a lively scene yesterday
at special meeting of members of
the Board of Health with Supervisor
d'Ancona of the Finance Committee.
For a moment it looked as though
D'Ancona and DR.. Poheim, a member
of the Health Board, would engage in
hostilities. The meeting was called for
the purpose of arriving at an under
standing regarding a modification of
the report of the Finance Committee
taking the Health Board to task for
alleged violations of civil service re-
strictions and salary allowances in the
budget. DR.. Ward, president of the
Health Board; Health officer Ragan
and Deputy Health officer Louis Levy
were also at the meeting.
When the discussion had nearly
come to an end DR.. Poheim said he
knew of his own knowledge that GER
tain Supervisors had violated the civil
service regulations by placing laborers
in Chinatown who were not on the
civil service eligible list. This asser-
ton evidently caused DAncona to lose
his temper, for he hotly retorted:
That's a - lie"
Poheim's face flushed and as the
meeting broke up said to D'Ancona:
Il would like to see you outside
some time. You have made certain
assertions which 1 want explained.
may communicate with you later
and Poheim retired with his fellow
officials.
Previous to this incident. which re-
suited from the strained relations
existing between the Finance Commit
tee and the Health Board, DIR. Ward
/ made a statement, in which he pleaded
for harmony and for a better under
! standing between the boards, whereby
the best interests of the health affairs
of the city could be conserved. Ward
said that salaries had been advanced
because of increased work put upon
! certain officials and that the best thing
the Board of Health could do would
be to resign if it was to be hampered
in it's work. He further said that if
the Finance Committees report was
adopted by the Board of Supervisors
it would play havoc with the admins
tration of the Health Department. DR..
Ward continued:
! If the consolidation of the food department
with the ARCHAEOLOGICAL department cannot be
effected to make efficient the power of the
! board in the proper analyses of milk. from
! the bacteriological standard, which is the
only standard, and the examination OF the
various food products by the laboratory, which
is the only correct method then all OF the
crusade to impure milk becomes obsolete
through inability to obtain correct
( knowledge and execute the laws II
might well be assumed now as later that
/ the Board Of Supervisors has so tied the hands
/ of the Board Of Health as to make its power
nil, and We might just as well surrender the
whole commission as to struggle with made
/ quate resources.

Name Spelled Seven Ways.

One of the rare occasions when a
man does not always know his own
name appeared yesterday in a petit
tion filed in the Superior Court by
Matthew and Mary Killilea, admins
traitors of the estate of Thomas, their
father. of the same name. They asked
leave to insert several aliases in the
papers involving the settlement of the

Daughter Asks for Share.

Dolores Cristobal, a daughter of
Jose Guardiola, who died in Paris on
November 19. 1901. yesterday petit
toned the Superior Court for a partial
distribution of the estate, which con-
sists of $75O,000 cash and valuable
bonds of the Market Street Railroad
Company and Omnibus Cable Railroad
Company. She says that the widow,
Rosario Segimon Guardiola, and the
Archbishop of Tarragona, Spain, had
assigned to her one-fourth interest
in the estate. six bonds of the Omnibus
Cable Railroad Company and eleven
bonds of the Market Street Railroad
Company. She seeks for the distribu-
ton Of her share.
