ARE MISTAKEN
FOR BURGLARS

DR.. w. B. Palamountain of the
B. Balsiger of the California woman's
Hospital had to prove to the Harbor
police on Wednesday evening that they
were not burglars. The medicos made
good but it took them two hours to
do 1t. They missed a social engage
ment in Oakland and incidentally
learned how it feels to be sit" when
the famous third degree" is being ad-
ministered by professional 'sleuths."
The money box in the public tele-
phone booth located in the downstairs
waiting room of the ferry depot has
been burglarized ten times within the
last few weeks. Attached to the coin
receptacle is a burglar alarm which
should ring an electric bell outside the
depot, near the news stand So far
the burglars have managed to beat the
alarm. Some time Wednesday morn
ing a thief cut the leather-bellows on
which the transmitter rests, reached
through the incision and cleaned out
the money box. The burglary was dis
covered too late to allow of repairs
being made, but to prevent any pros
pecting after subsequent switch fees
the alarm attachment was adjusted in
side the incision in the bellows.
Drs. Palamountain and Balsiger were
waiting for the S:35 o'clock narrow
gauge boat when one of them remem-
bered an undelivered message.
Let's telephone" they said. And
they did.
This is funny said Palamountain,
poking his finger into the thief made
hole in the bellows. Guess somebody

removed his finger OCallaghan had
grip on his coat collar and an iron
grasp on Balsiger's wrist.
What are you fellows doing IN
here?" demanded the policeman.
The doctors at first were indignant
but O'Callaghan looked like business
and they tried to explain. They told
him who they were and proved it by
cards and correspondence In their
pockets. They didn't look like bur-
glars and O'Callaghan was almost per-
suaded that they were all right when
Policeman Jim MCGOWAN appeared on
the scene. O'Callaghan explained
briefly to his brother officer.
Now MCGOWAN has been reading
Raffles. The fine raiment and polished
manners which to O'Callaghan had in
dicated decency were to MCGOWAN con-

teered MCGOWAN, as he ushered his
prisoners into the presence of the
booking sergeant.
But they were not booked. A tele-
phone company detective who had been
summoned was able to account for the
condition of the bellows and after a
couple of hours detention. during
which the physicians told and retold
the stories of their lives and the his
tory of their movements that day up
to the time of their visit to the tele-
phone booth, the medicos were re-
stored to liberty.

Seattle, Aug. 14.-With the idea of
placing a valuation independent Of
the assessment for corporeal property,
on the franchises of all public service
corporations, the King county board
of equalization has passed a resolu-
tion that the owner of every such
moned by the clerk Of the board to
appear in 10 days and be examined
upon the value of the concession.
County Assessor John w. Peter in
making up the tax roll, had placed
valuation of 100000 on the fran
chise of the Seattle Electric company,
the same amount on that OF the Sc
attic Lighting company, and 100000
on those OF the telephone companies.
Among the corporations summoned
are those mentioned, the Seattle,
Renton & Southern railway company,
the Puget Sound Power company, the
Puget Sound Electric Railway compa-
ny, the Seattle & Montana Railway
company, the Northern Pacific Rail-
way company, the Mutual Light and
Heat company, the Diamond Ice COM
pany, the Western Union and Postal
Telegraph companies, the Instantan-
eous Alarm company, the American
District Telegraph company and many
others.
The attempt to make systematic
assessment Of this class OF property
is an innovation in this county and
is in line with suggestions made by
Tax Commissioner Frost when ne de-
