MAYOR SENDS REPLY.

Mayor Schmitz gave out the follow
ing reply to the letter sent him by An
drews and Bowes:
SAN FRANCISCO, May 6. 1905.
IT. p. Andrews. Esq. Foreman Grand
Jury-Dear Sir: I am In receipt, late
this afternoon, OF your communication
OF even date relative to settlement Of
tax Office accounts.
Il beg to advise you that this morn
ing. long prior to the transmission Of
your letter, a proper accounting was
made, T. E. Atkinson, expert account
ant, by my direction assisting therein.
Il note with regret and surprise what
you say of Mr.. McCabe's personal con-
dition. Mr.. McCabe is a civil service
sppointee Of the tax office, who has for
years past had personal charge Of the
tax Office accounts. and was put in
temporary charge of the Office so that
fits business might be transacted and
the books balanced. This having been
done. win announce on Monday morn
ting the successor Of E. J. Smith. Tax

Grand Jurors Demand The Removal 0f The ACTING Tax Collector

Collector, removed, who will assume
immediate control of the office.
1T has been a matter of no little diff
f1culty TO find suitable and competent
man to accept the position owing to the
relatively small salary, the heavy pre-
MUM for surety bond and the great
responsibilities of the Office. One gem
tleman to whom it was rendered de-
clined the place for these reasons and
because ne would have no discretion in
the appointment of his clerks (they be-
ing all selected from the civil service
lists), yet would be liable for any of
their errors or delinquencies.
Your kindness in thus publicly call
ing my attention to McCabe's reported
intoxication is greatly appreciated, as
1t affords me opportunity to take i'm
mediate steps TO rectify the situation.
IF when you discovered some months
ago the irregularities OF the Tax Col
lector you had been equally ready to
notify me thereof, instead of conceal
ing the same from me, so that Mayor
Schmitz might not have the opportunity
Of appointing his successor, the city
would have been saved a very large
sum Of money and the community
would not have been plunged into the
shocking horror of learning by his
fight the extent and character of the
misconduct of a trusted public servant,
long Heretofore known to you to have
been false to his trust Respectfully.

Mayor of the City and County of San

.PRESS SCOLDS
SPANISH KING

PARIS. May "a cloud has arisen
over the coming Anglo French Spanish
celebrations attending King Alfonsos
visit to France, owing to the bitterly
hostile attitude of large element OF
the Spanish press against the King
giving this significant adhesion to
Frances policy in Morocco. The af-
fair appears to be taking all the diplo-
matte sagacity of Cambon, the French
ambassador to Spain, to avert a storm
Both the Liberal and Republican ele-
ments in Spain contest the right of the
Premier and Minister for Foreign Af-
fairs to accompany the King on his
mission, which, they declare, would
commit the nation to the support of
the French Moroccan policy. They as
sert that, the Cortes not having ap-
proved of the Kings visit to France,
neither the Government nor the Min
listers can now take part in the con-
flict now agitating Berlin, Paris and
Fez.
The French view Of the agitation is
that the German campaign has for its
object the revival of Spain's dream Of
restoring her ancient authority over
the Moors and thus giving Spain, in
stead of France, paramount influence
in Morocco. But, Notwithstanding the
press campaign favorable to Germany,

An attempt to invalidate the attach

store of Edward j. Smith, defaulting
Tax Collector, at 519 Eddy street, was
defeated in Judge Murasky's court yes
terday morning. The attempt was
made by the Edward ]. Smith Drug
Company" which filed with Sheriff
Curtis verified claim to the contents
of the drug store and demanded that
he release the attachment on the
ground that it was illegal, as the city
had not put up bond.
Sheriff Curtis notified City Attorney
Long of the situation and his assistant,
Attorney w. H. Smith Jr.. went before
Judge Murasky and relieved the Sheriff
by calling attention to section 1858 Of
the Code of Civil Procedure, which
provides that it shall not be necessary
for the city to file a bond in attach
ment proceedings brought by 1t. To
insure the Sheriff in his position the
court made an order setting forth that
a bond is not required and the result
is that the attachment will stand.
The attachment in question was
levied to cover the first shortage dis
covered. amounting to s39,112 So. At
tachments on three pieces of realty in
this city and one in Alameda County
were levied on at the same time.

ROUVIER RIVAL
OF DELCASSE

PARIS, May 6.-Despite official de-
nials the feeling prevails that Delcasse
will not wish to retain the foreign
portfolio much longer. The Cabinet sit
uation is no longer attributed to Mo-
rocco, but to a divergence of views con-
cerning who should control French for
eign policy. Delcasse's prestige
throughout Europe naturally leads him
to want free hand, and Rouvier evil

due to the fact that she threw herself to

TUESDAY, JULY IL, 1905
Losses by Forest F1res.


That the State is a heavy loser from
destructive forest fires is shown in the adj
vance sheets of the report of the geologi-
cal survey, although there is ground for
encouragement in the fact that for the
year 1904 the losses were considerably less
than in previous years and the area burn
ed over was of smaller extent
In 1904 the total area burned over was
41.503 acres and the loss $193, 413, against
st, 046 acres and loss of 1905, 744 in 1908.
The largest area burned over was in
Ocean County, 1000 acres. Atlantic
County came next with SPAS acres. then
Burlington County with $50, Sussex
with 1910, Morris with 3, $50, Cape May,
2,450; Passaic. LOO; Cumberland, 1925,
and so on down to Union, with only ten
acres burned over. The losses were:
$42, 1874 so for Ocean County; $34.0 45 for
Burlington, $26, 020 for Atlantic, ST, 525
for Sussex, $3.50 for Morris, $13, 100 for
Passaic. In Union County the loss was
only $21.

The report urges the increasing of eff
forts to prevent such fires, calling for the
strict enforcement of the laws, the punish
ment of all offenders and the arousing of
public sentiment in favor of greater care
against accidents.
The advisability of State fire service
is again pointed out and it is urged that
the Legislature take some efficient action
to bring about the saving of the forests
from further destruction, the claim being
made that the annual loss without such
service would many times pay the expense
of maintaining patrol and fire fighting
corps.
1t is expected that the new Forestry
Commission. created by the last Legisla-
ture at the instance of Governor Stokes.
will do much to remedy many of the ex-
listing evils.
