REAL ESTATE EXCHANGE
OPPOSES SUPERVISORS
Adopts Resolution Against
Assessment for Geary
Street Road

Protesting against the action Of the
board of supervisors in exceeding the
dollar limit" in the tax rate, by rea-
son of it's recommendation to take
over the Geary street cable road. the
San Francisco real estate board passed
resolutions yesterday denouncing the
scheme as being Illegal and inexpedi-
ent. Following are the resolutions
adopted:
Whereas, The board of supervisors, in making
up the budget for the fiscal year 19o7-1soS, has
set aside $7o0 900 for the purpose Of reconstruct
ing the Geary street railroad as a municipal
street railway and in doing has exceeded the
dollar limit of the charter, which may only be
done In case of great emergency or necessity;
and
Whereas. The voters Of San Francisco having
twice repudiated this proposition that such al
attempt to put this plan into execution by indi.
rect means is a denial Of their sovereign author
ity: and
Whereas, The San Francisco real estate board
believes that the reconstruction of this railway
is not such great necessity or emergency Is
contemplated in the charter that the appropria-
tion of this money will find no authority in law,
that it will be declared null and void, thereby
imposing needless and heavy expense of litiga-
tion upon the city with possible danger OF in-
validating the whole budget, and that it is a
great and unlawful burden real estate and
the tax payers; therefore be II
Resolved, That the San Francisco real estate
board condemns most emphatically the whole
scheme and calls upon the tax payers and voters
rise In their might and demand that their wishes
In this matter be respected In conformity with
their twice recorded win and the organic law OF
the city.

LEAVES FOR BOISE
Postal Official of This City to Testify
in Haywood Case

Frank Isaacs, clerk in the registry
department of the main postoffice in
this city, left for Boise, Idaho, last
night in response to a subpoena by the
prosecution IN the Haywood murder
case. 1t is understood that Isaacs is
to testify that Harry Orchard, the in
former, mailed and registered a letter
to Haywood from this town about the
time that a mysterious explosion oc-
CURED in the basement OF the Kellogg
residence In Washington street near
Leavenworth, in this city. It was be-
lieved at the time that the explosion
was caused by escaping gas, and Kel-
logg recovered $4,000 damages from
the gas company for the injury done
the building and furniture.
After Orchard had been arrested for
the murder OF former Governor
Steunenberg of Idaho he confessed that
he had caused the explosion with a
dynamite bomb set for the purpose OF
killing mine owner named Bradley,
who lived in the Kellogg house.
Hull McClaughry. assistant post
master, left last Thursday night for
Boise to testify in the same matter. 1t
is probable that they may refuse to
answer questions as to the registered
letter, because the rules of the post
office department prohibit postal en-
ployes from making public anything
in connection with the registry busi-
ness.

DAILY MORNING NEWS.
Daily delivered by carrier &c per weel

The recent mine explosions In which
80 many hundred workmen have been
killed brings to the attention of the
public the necessity of some provision
being made for the support OF the
widows and children left dependent.
1t has been suggested that the pension
system be extended so as to include
those who are in this manner thrown
upon the charity of the world. II
would be a popular and proper move
for the national congress to take steps
to provide the pittance necessary to
keep unfortunates from want by paying
a pension from the overfiowing Golfers
OF the government. The pension
could be provided by taxing the profits
OF the trusts.

MRS. DAVID COLLARS
One Of Canton's Oldest and Best
Known Residents Passed
Away Yesterday.

Mrs. David collars passed away at
her home on West Tuscarawas street
yesterday afternoon. The cause of her
death was complication OF diseases
from which she has suffered since
last April, since which time she has
been an invalid. While her death was
not q surprise to her family, yet II was
unexpected inasmuch as her condi-
ton was seemingly no worse until
yesterday when she rapidly sank un-
til death called her.
Mrs. collars was born March 30,
1884. Her maiden name was Miss Re
becca Slusser and she was the daugh-
ter OF John Slusser, who was one OF
the very first settlers OF Canton COM
ing here early in the nineteenth CEN
tury. Mrs. collars was born in
building at the corner Of Piedmont
and Tuscarawas streets, where her
father kept the geseral store OF the
town. The town at that time num-
bered Its inhabitants by the hun
dreds. and the Slusser store was
more of a general store than anything
else. She was married TO DAVID Ioi-
lars in 1855 and two years ago they
celebrated their golden wedding. To
them were born two sons. Lewis X.
collars, who is identified with his
father in business in this city. and
John w. collars. who is a banker in
New Mexico, Mrs. collars was a sis-
ter OF the late Or. Lewis Slusser. She
was the last OF the family Of Slussers
who were pioneers of Canton and
Stark county
Mrs. collars was an earnest mem
Der and worker of the first Baptist
church since her youth, and her
place in church circles will be sad
ly missed by her co-workers. Her life
was an ideal one. spent in doing good
to others and her relatives have the
