FIND FRANCOIS
MAY Be ASSESSED
Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation Would Protect Members
from Unjust Demands of
City Assessor

The Merchants and Manufacturers
association is rallying to the protec-
ton of it's members from unjust de-
mands of the city assessor, and with
this object in view, has requested legal
opinion as to what rights the assessor
has to assess the franchises of corpo-
rations, and his right to the informa-
ton contained in a circular letter sent
by him to incorporated firms.
According to the rulings of the su-
preme court of California, the fran
chises of private corporations are as
seSsable. In a decision of that court,
rendered in August, 1906, 1t was held
that 'It is settled law in this state
that a proper method for ascertaining
the value of a franchise of q corpora
ton is by deducting from the aggre-
gate market value of it's shares the
value of it's tangible property and TAX
ing the difference as the value of the
franchise"
The board of directors of the asso-
citation considers the taxing of a fran
chise an injustice, and but for the fact
that their efforts would scarcely meet
with success, in view of the courts S
decisions, would have further tested
the legality of the assessors dealings
with incorporated firms.
City Assessor Mallard has modified
the Objectionable circular letter some
what. In answering the question of
"all the company's solvent credits and
all of the company's debts, showing the
residence of the creditors" the COR
porations will have to answer them
only in a gross amount, and it will be
sufficient Nor the corporations that all
the debts enumerated are due to bona
fide California residents. The associa-
ton has recommended its members to
comply with the assessors request and
to apply to him personally for further
inflammation

EXPERT DECLARES
LETTER IS FAKE
Witness for Prosecution of Douglas
Dawson Gives Evldence Favorlng
the Defense-WiII Argue
for Dismissal

After qualifying as typewriter ex-
pert, G. l.. King declared, when sum-
moned as witness in the Dawson
case, the conscience stricken" letter,
introduced as evidence by the prosecu-
ton, was written by an experienced
operator, who had endeavored to dis
guise his or her manipulation of the
keys to make it appear to be the work
of novice.
Attorney Rogers said he would offer
no more testimony, but will argue for
a dismissal of the case, and it is be-
lieved Justice Frederickson will refuse
to hold Dawson to the superior court.
Arguments will be made Tuesday
morning, until which time the court
adjourned. Rogers will argue for a
dismissal on the ground of insufficieney
of evidence.
The court announced that contempt
proceedings will be taken up against
Hartmann brothers at the end of the
herring.
c. L. King, the typewriter expert.
was called by the prosecution. His tes-
timony took the greater part of the
morning, He was examined as to his
qualities as an expert and the judge
allowed his testimony to be admitted.
King was asked by Rogers II he could
initiate the letter In evidence. King re-
piled he could, and after half an hours
work produced very good copy OF the
letter.
"Now didn't you, as matter Of fact,
write that original letter in the police
station?" asked Rogers.
"No, sir, 1 did not" replied the wit
ness.
After King was excused Rogers said
he would prove Mrs. Dawson had never
used typewriter.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Dawson appeared
quite satisfied with the turn the ex-
animation was taking and whenever
any reference was made to the allega-
tion that Mrs Dawson wrote the CON
fession letter" 1t brought smile to her
face.
Detective ziegler was on the stand for
few moments to Identify the hand-
kerchiefs. which he had taken from the

that. If the thing had been regular the
man would not be lying there still. He
would have sprung to the front of the
engine, ready to hook the collar about
the neck of the big bay, as in response
to the call it sprang to its position in
the traces.
Toney is a smart horse, and it tried
with all it's mind to study this problem
out. 1t turned to it's team mate on the
other side of the house to see what it
was doing. The other horse was half
asleep. and with head hanging down
was paying no attention to what had
happened.
Then Toney turned to the form of the
man lying at his feet again. The form
was so still that the big bay could not
make it all out.
Then Toney noticed something else
that did not suit his ideas of what was
right. There was a splash of red
spreading from the form on the floor
Gradually it grew larger and broader
and steadily filled all the space between
it's feet and the head OF the man. 1t
was blood, but then Toney knew it not.
He only knew that 1t wasn't usual
Tn looking closer Toney recognized
his friend. 1t was the new man who
had come so recently to the engine and
who used to stand at his head and feed
him sugar Jumps and say soft words to
him, and sometimes give him a de-
licious turnip or an apple.
Softly Toney nickered and bent hiA
head forward for the expected caress.
But the form lay still and there was
no answer to his friendly greeting.
Toney Sounds Alarm
Then Toney determined to find out
why 1t all was, and in horse language
he called out as loud as he could, Helpl
help! And to these calls he added the
sound of his hoofs upon the floor Of his
stall.
To the drowsy and sleeping men up
stairs II sounded only as the snorting
and paving of a horse. But. Toney
knew at last. His friend was I'm help
less condition, and the men who should
have come down that pole after him
must know IL. So he snorted and paved
and nickefed until sleepy driver came
down to find out what was the matter
with Toney. and found Tommy Homes
body lying in great pool OF blood at
Toney's feet, and then the man was
moved to the hospital and now 1t is
said that he will live; but all the fire.

prentice, pipe:aan, driver and officer
he has made a special pet of the ami
mails in the company to which he was
attached. There seemed to be an un-
usual bond of sympathy between these
big horses which dragged the appara-
tus to the fire and the sturdy, devil
may-care young fellow who ran with
the machine.
He was always petting the horses,
and Jumps of sugar and punches of
green grass, a carrot now and then
filcned from some vegetable peddler' S
wagon, bit of apple or some other
delicacy for the equine palate was al
ways brought to them by him when op-
portunity offered.
Horse and Captain chums
So, when Tommy Home went to COM
pany 10 few weeks ago he became
acquainted with the horses which pulled
the big engine. Toney became his
special pet, and many's the time the
captain and the off-side bay stood cheek
to cheek while the fireman spoke loving
words to the horse and the horse re-
sponded with soft rubs of his muzzle
and gentle nickers of pleasure.
In this way the man and horse be-
came friends, companions, chums.
When Tommy Home, In half somno-
lent condition, took his awful plunge
down the pole hole of engine house 19
the other night he landed right in front
of Toney's stall.
Now Toney was used to see men
come tumbling down that pole, and he
waited for the usual to happen.
Under ordinary circumstances sew
eral other forms would have come fly
ing down the pole also. But nothing Of
this kind happened,
The horse had braced itself for the
jump to the pole OF the engine, but a
few feet away. The clang OF the great
gong OF the joker came not, however,
and there was no sudden click of the
buzzer as 1t released his chain and
halter rope.
Horse Is Puzzled
In surprise Toney looked at the form
OF the man lying almost at his feet.
There was something strange about

It was never known. A tourist buys

to fall near an orchard It is apt to
infect all the trees in that orchard and
also In the surrounding orchards
I'm n place where horticulture plays
such an important part as It does In
Southern California 1t is necessary to
take every precaution.
THE market for California fruit in
the east is steadily increasing. Cali
fornia lemons which were until recent
ly not thought much of as paying
crop are much In demand in the east.
They are better lemons than Florida
can produce for they have more acid
and more Juice. The scale can ruin
lemon crop and they must be kept off
the trees.
There will be no possible way of
avoiding the law In this instance. Our
inspectors will be ordered to keep q
close watch and to treat all alike.
When fruit is found to be infected 1t
will at once be conflscated and de-
stroyed at the court house. There is
also a fine of $40 which may be Inn
posed upon any one selling fruit in
fected with scale.

dealers the necessity of the precautions.
1t is as much to their advantage as to
the advantage of anyone else that the
orchards be kept in good condition,
and they will have to help us.
I'VE have recently been inspecting
the orchards around Ventura and they
are in splendid shape. Any horticul-
turist would enjoy a visit to these
orchards.
1--WE have a great deal Of work cut
out for us in the southwestern part
of the city and we will turn our atten-
tion to that at once. Many orchards
have been subdivided and upon each
lot there are few trees. These lots
are owned by real estate men or east
erners and they neglect caring for the
trees. We will fumigate them If we
cannot get the owners to do so. and
the cost of these services will consti-
tute q lien against the properties Most
people are not averse to having their
trees cared for when they are made to
realize the great good that will come
out of it. We prefer to have them do
1t willingly, but IL they will not they
must be forced.

ceived, and this precaution aids us in

Herald Cleans Out Seed Supply
The announcement in The Herald
that the horticultural commissioners
would distribute free seeds to the Los
Angeles people who would call for them
brought out such a large response that
Mr.. Dingles supply was exhausted a
few hours after the announcement.
When he arrived at his office Friday
morning he found long line of men,
women and children waiting outside to
receive the packages procured by Sena-
tor Flint from the United States de-
partment of agriculture.
Long before the day was over the
commissioner was forced to hang out
the sign, Seeds all gone," and he was
almost in despair at the sight Of the
disappointed faces.
"I did not mind the work of giving
out the seeds, for that was only a
pleasure, but I certainly did hate to
tell these people they were all gone"

GRAVEYARD WANTS TO KNOW
WIZ Women Refuse to Deny Rumor,

"Why do women never deny an en-.

gray headed man. 'In these days of
world wide social gossip every day
brings the report of some impossible
engagement which somebody has to
deny, and Away: the first denial comes
from the male half of the fictitious
partnership. How account for this
alacrity on the part Of man to disclaim
all intentions of a matrimonial ven-
ture? Does 1t indicate spirit of gal
lantry which prompts him to relieve
the lady, so far as possible, OF all trou-
Bile and notoriety, or does 1t indicate
spirit OF misanthropy that prompts
him to hasten to proclaim himself i'm
pervious to female Establishments?
Personally, incline to the latter view.
But even that does not explain the
backwardness Of wcrcn In denying
these undesirable engagements.
