ABSENT SHIPS MAY
Be TAXED HERE

The fact that ships from this port
are away for more than a year ia other
waters does not prevent the collection
Of taxes on them. according to a deci-
sion of the Supreme Court yesterday in
the case of the California Slipping
Company against the city and county
of San Francisco
The shipping company had paid taxes
under protest for the fiscal year ending
June so. 1908, upon seventeen vessels
owned by 1t. 1t was alleged that the
vessels had not been in California
waters during the year for which taxes
were claimed and therefore the collee-
ton of taxes on them could not be
legal
In the decision of the Supreme Court
it was stated that there was no proof
to the effect that the vessels had ac-
quired situs outside Of San francisco
harbor or had been engaged in for
eign or Interstate commerce, and for
that reason the taxes were due here.
The decision Will be of value in de-
termining similar questions in the fu-
ture. The lower court had decided in
favor of the shipping company.

INSPECTOR BULGER
TO co ON STAND
Attorneys Claim That the
Despatch Was Unfit for
Sea at Time of Fire
OFFICIALS ACCUSED

Testimony in the suit of James Mitch
ell against the California Oregon Coast
Steamship Company to recover $4,000
as DANA gss for the death Of mis- son
James Mitchell Jr.. in fire in the hold
of the steamer Despatch. will be ad-
duced today in rebuttal by Mitcheil's
attorneys, who will maintain that Gov
ernment officials were guilty of over
riding the Federal law in allowing the
vessel to go to sea without having
passed the hull and boiler inspection
requirements
According TO Attorney Costello of
counsel for the plaintiff he will place
Captain John Bulger. hull and rboiler
inspector at this port, on the witness
stand to establish the contention that
year before the Despatch took fire in
this port. and during which fire Jimmy
Mitchell. 14-year-old boy working in
the hold, was burned to death. Bulger
had inspected her boilers and oil tanks
and had reported them to be in an
unseaworthy condition. Costello claims
that despite Bulgers report the
Despatch was given certificate of
inspection by some one higher in au-
thority than Bulger, and that the yes
sci went to sea without further re-
pairs to the machinery in the hold. On
this testimony the attorneys for the
mother and father of the dead boy hope
to prove that the steamship company
was guilty of criminal negligence and
responsible for the death of their son.
The hearing yesterday was occupied
wholly with taking the evidence of the
defense, which placed on the stand en-
ployes of the ship, the president of
the company and the carpenter who,
according to the contention of the de-
fendant corporation, dropped q plank
on a gauge attached to the oil heater.
breaking off the pipe leading to the
oil tank and allowing a stream OF hot
oil to squirt on an open lamp carried
by a workman. setting the ship hold
on fire. The plank, so big that two
men were required to carry II, and the
steam gauge. showing a dent at the
top, were placed in evidence for the in
spection of the jury.
James Spencer. chief engineer on
board the Despatch, occupied the wit
ness chair the greater part OF the
day and displayed a Willingness TO aid
the cause of his employers by his testi-
mony wherever possible. On two oc-
statements on being confronted with
signed copies of his testimony given
before the Federal commission which
was appointed Immediately after the
accident to fix the responsibility for
the death of young Mitchell
George d. Gray. president OF the
company, testified that the Despatch
was equipped far above the standard
prescribed by the Federal law, and
that to the best of his knowledge the
ship was in good order at the time OF
the fire.
John Curtis, the carpenter who the
defendant company claims was hand
ling the plank when it fell and caused
the fire, identified the board as the
one which he was working with just
previous TO the time the blaze started.
lie admitted that he did not see the
plank strike the oil gauge and that
he did not know whether or not the
gauge was in place when the plank
fell
TIE case will be resumed today.
