THE VISITING SHIPS.

The British and American fleets now lying in
the North River are we'll worth going far to see
simply es naval spectacle. Not often is this
public privileged TO behold at one time so splen-
did an array of fighting ships OF the two major
classes and Of the most improved types and
greatest size and efficiency. Even to the mex
pert eye Of the layman and landsman there Is
something impressive and awe inspiring In the
sight OF such an armada To those technically
interested In naval matters. however, either as
designers and constructors or as commanders
and men behind the guns" the display makes
q special appeal and suggests comparisons
which must prove instructive and which should
Be Of practical value
The two fleets are not to be compared one
with the other as whoes because they are OF
different compositions The British ships are all
armored cruisers, while the American squadron
consists partly of armored cruisers and partly
OF battleships. The visitors are therefore to be

the arrest of Mr.. Maher, and it was to
Judge Mogan that he sprung the claim
OF having been mistaken for another,

Ralph Scanlon, hackman, whose play

for thirty days by Judge Mogan, who de-
plored the wasting of such comedy talent

of.

sidewalk as she ran Despite the mortal
wound the woman trayersed a consider

SAYS BONDS ARE NOT

Long Holds Southern Pacific
Securities Are Exempt
From Assessment.

City Attorney Long yesterday ad-
vised Assessor Dodge that the bonds to
be issued by the Southern Pacific Rail-
road Company and secured by blan-
ket mortgage on the properties of the
company situated In California. Ariz-
ona and New Mexico cannot be taxed
in the hands Of the owners or holders
thereof. Dodge in asking for the opin-
lon had told of the consolidation of the
properties of the Southern Pacific Rail-
road Company and desired to know II
the bonds constituted taxable property.
The City Attorneys opinion, in part,
is as follows:
with respect to the taxation OF
bonds of quasi-public corporations Sc
cured by mortgage or deed of trust of
the PROPERTIES of such corporations sit
uate in the State of California. it has
been decided definitely by the Supreme
Court of this State that such bonds

to secure the payment of the same, at
its full cash value and without deduc-
ton on account of the debts secured
by such mortgage.

Miss Lottie Gonzales rallied bitterly

days for similar offense committed on

lively swelled her head to a size that
swamped whatever sense of discretion
she possessed ere adulation marked her
for its own. That is TO say, in her tri-
umph she became so arrogant and such a
disturbing element in the temples OF
Terpsichore that the impresarios who
erstwhile clamored for her services en-
tered into agreement that her suppress
sion was essential to the well-being of
their common industry, and the result
was not conducive to rehabilitation of
her reasonableness. All along the line
she was confronted by ostracism that
completely removed the lid from her lat
ent ferocity of temper. Inherited from
grandees extending far backward into
CASTLES history. Thus she became a
common scold and brawler and chronic
fracturer of the Peace laws. No sooner
was she let out Of Jail than she did
something to provoke the police to pop
her in again, and for several years she
has spent much more time behind barred
gates than in freedom. OF the many
who once worshiped at her sandaled feet

reverence.

Edward J. Smith.
Tax Collector Scott. yesterday pro-
nounced as absurd the published story
to the effect that there has been graft
in the sale of tax titles under former
Tax Collector Smiths regime. Scott
says it would be utterly impossible for
any Tax Collector to benefit by the
sale of the titles.
The story is rank idiocy," said Scott.
The law is clear and provides that
any property upon which the taxes are
delinquent shall be sold to the State
five years after the date of such delin-
quency. The law was framed with the
intention to prevent any graft that
might be possible under other condi-
tions. After the State has become the
owner Of the property the State Con-
troller gives the Tax Collector the au-
thority to sell the property to the high
est bidder. So far as I am able to judge
the law has been strictly complied with

sToREKEEPER DE sUCCA IS

Board of Education Employe Has an

While the Board OF Education was
yesterday examining samples OF am

and sank to the floor. He remained un-

busied himself explaining to the board
the properties OF the various samples
submitted. In doing so he inhaled the
fumes OF the volatile liquid. All at

to bring him to. The windows were
opened and after being brisk1y famed
