MARK twain
PERPETRATES
ANOTHER JOKE
Circulates Report Of
Probable Loss of
His Feet.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Aug 23.-Suffering tor
ture from gout, Mark Twain. who more
than score of years ago solemnly de-
clared rare things are not common .
perpetrated another joke in Norfolk to-
day by having the announcement made
that he had returned to his home in New
York to have both feet operated upon.
AS result there were numerous callers
at the big red brick house, No. 21 Fifth
avenue, and the fiaxen-haired maid was
kept busy answering the rings at the
door.
"Mr. Clemens is out of the city and
will not return till November" said
the young woman to each caller. 1--WE
have heard of no amputation."
This was repeated time and again,
and Its mighty funny" came from
more than one pair of lips as the call
ers turned to retrace their steps down
the front stairs.
Mark Twain going to have his feet
cut Off" queried a policeman on one
of the Ninth-street corners, adding.
Not much, and it's a certainty he is
not coming home now-not in this hot
weather."
Late in the afternoon. still at Norfolk.
Mark Twain authorized denial of his
self-circulated report that he was in New
York. II am still here he said to a
friend who met him there, "and probably
shall remain here till get away AS for
the gout, may have a touch of it, In
fact, have always felt little sore that
way. but I am going to keep my feet as
long as l can. They happen to be my
last feet and are solely for my use.''
There are two little New Workers who
are longing for the famous humorist to
"tum home" They are the infant son
and daughter of Mrs. Jennison, who take
care of the big, roomy. gloomy old house
where Mark Twain lives in town.
HE always gives me pennies" said the
little girl, whereat the younger boy
reached out his hands and laughed

followed closely the figures presented by
Assessor Dodge of San Francisco yester-
day, in which he showed property In
Los Angeles County was assessed at only
35 per cent of its selling value, while the
assessment of San Francisco properties
ran from 60 to 65 per cent Affords mo-
ton was seconded by Beamer, but Chair
man Brown asked Afford to withdraw 1t
temporarily to permit him and other
members of the board to investigate the
Los Angeles assessment roll.
Afford consented with the understand
ing that the motion would be renewed to-
morrow. This act on the part Of Afford
was rather unexpected, as 1t was gen.
orally thought that while no reduction
would be granted Los Angeles no counties
would be cited to appear to prevent a
raise In assessment.

Los ANGELES DEFEATED.

Assessor Benjamin Ward of Los An
geles County said the reports In the pa
pers yesterday would give the impression
that realty values in Los Angeles are or
a precarious footing. He said the news
paper reports were justified TO an extent
by the statements made before the board
Yesterday. However, the only slump IL
values IN and about Los Angeles had ap-
peared at RedOndo Beach. The people
went wild over the prospects and values
increased by daily jumps, which were
not warranted by actual conditions. Ex-
cept for this, Ward said. realty values In
and about Los Angeles are on safe and
sane basis.
When the hearing of San Francisco had
been completed. Equalizer r. II. Reamer
reverted TO the hearing granted Los An
geIes Yesterday. He said the representa-
fives Of that county had failed TO show
they were entitled to the 25 per cent re-
duction asked for, and he moved that
the appiication be denied. Afford second
ed the motion and il carried by the votes
of Beamer, Brown. Afford and Colgan.
