Jimmie
Held UD
AUDITOR FISHER REFUSES TO IS
SUE WARRANT FOR TAX COM
MISSION TYPEWRITING.

Will Jimmie Thompson get his pay
for the work which he did ON nights
and Sundays for the Tax Commission?
Auditor Fisher~says no. The members
of the Tax Commission says yes.
What the Supreme Court will say in
terests Thompson.
AS most OF the business men of the
city know, it is almost impossible to
get a frst-class public stenographer
when you want him. There are only
one or two IN town and they have
their hands more than full. When the
Tax Commission started its work no
stenograpner could be obtained and
finally when the report was ready to
be typewriter Thompson was asked to
assist. He did so, doing all the work
at night or on Sunday, but when he
put in his bill there was nothing doing.
Auditor Fisher called his attention
to the provision in the revised statutes
which does not allow payment for ex-
ira services to be made to government
employees who have a salary of over
800 per month. Jimmie still has a
chance. however, to make good as the
Tax Commission believes that he
should get the money, which amounts
to about sixty dollars, and will take
the matter to the Supreme Court.

NEW life IN
STOCK MARKET
ANIMATION FOLLOWS THE CLOSE.
OF THE BIG NATIONAL CONVEN-
TONS.

NEW YORK, July 12-Last weeks
security market gave clear reflection
of the determination arrived at by a
large number of stock market partici-
pants to throw off the waiting attitude
maintained for some time and to act
on their conviction that better things
were in prospect for business and in
dustry. In contrast with the absolute
stagnation into which the market had
fallen by the close OF the preceding
week, there sprang up a degree of ami
nation not equaled since the early per-
iod of June, the average daily trans
actions rising well over half a million
shares.
There was expansion also in the
bond division and a broadening of de-
mand in that department which was
most encouraging to sentiment. The
assurance of abundant supplies of
banking resources throughout the year,
the promise Of crop yields above the
average for recent years and the APP
preaching termination of the sessions
of the Democratic National Convention
were the main factors in stimulating
the new speculative departure.
Great Importance was attached to
the symptoms last week OF reviving
trade. The most striking of these were
reported from the steel trade, where
assumptions on a large scale of oper-
atoms in the steel mills in the Pitts
burg district were chronicled, with re-
newal of employment for thousands of
laborers who had been idle and with
out pay for several months. Special
significance was attached to the large
proportion of the new steel orders
which were received from the agricul-
tural Implement makers as indicating

AS the result of a disagreement over
the class of mounts that Jockey Waiter
Miller has been getting of late, Frank
keenan,, his former valet, who has re-
Gently been making the champion
riders engagements. booked passage
for New York yesterday. but at Miller's
solicitation changed his plans at the
last moment and will continue to make
the boys engagements to the end of
the season. The friction arose over
mounts that keenan, had selected for
Miller, on which the boy won in spite
of his own belief that they had no
chance. Keenan, has worked very faith
fully and conscientiously for Miller's
interests since he began making his
enga gements. In the absence of keenan,
from the track yesterday morning
Miller made his own engagements for
today, but keenan, will resume the job
today
Miller rode in excellent form again
yesterday, winning with two of his four
mounts. His victory on John II. Shee-
han was a notable feat, inasmuch as
he was able to make that notorious
gutter last six furlongs, despite the
fact that there were other contend
ers just as speedy in the race.

Roy Wright, contractor of 529 Twen-
ty-second street, has disappeared.

Saturday morning with the child and
told his wife before his departure that
he would return later in the day. He
was not heard from that day and Sun
day Mrs Wright tried without avail
to get into communication with her
husband
Mrs Wright reported the disappear

STOCKTON COUNCIL
|. Anglers MERCHANTS
Alleged That Town Is Cursed
by Squabbling Factions
in Ruling Body
SPECIAL pIsrArcH TO THE CALL

STOCKTON. March 9. I'VE are
cursed with city council which is
divided into factions, with the members
always fighting among themselves, and
for disregarding the business inter-
ests OF the city" said Trustee Drury
of the chamber of commerce today.
This statement came during a discus
sion at a meeting which was consider
ing a petition signed by all the heavy
shippers of Stockton. in which the
chamber was urged to pass a resou-
tion calling upon the council to grant
to the Southern Pacific a right to ex-
pend 100000 in Stockton in the erec-
ton of freight depots and in construct
ing switches to handle freight OF the
summer season.
1t is contended that the Southern Pa
cific company is anxious to increase its
yard room and facilities for handling
freight at this center. but that the
council is holding club over the rail-
road by refusing to grant it the privi-
lege of executing plans framed IL
months ago unless it removes small
spur track to which the councilmen
have taken a decided dislike.
Merchants are wrought up over the
affair and committee was appointe
to appear before the council and urge
some consideration Of public interests.' :

CLAIMS LAW TO BE
TESTED BY COURTS
a~z-s4s
Deficiency Plea of Supervisors
to Lead to Suit to Force
Payment
-
Statutes Constitutionality Will
Be Attacked by Action
of Attorney

OAKLAND, March 81 Attorney
Charles f. Shook announced today
that he would file suit against ths
county to test the constitutionality OF
the statutes which forbid the payment
of certain classes of claims except
from funds accruing within the six
months In which the claims arise.
Snook's announcement followed the re-
fusal of the board of supervisors TO
pay printing claim for s1,SSS by the
Enquirer publishing company, the
greater portion of which was for work
during the first six months OF the
present fiscal year. Shook presented
the bill last week and it was referred
to the finance committee and TO ths
district attorney.
The action which Attorney Shook
contemplates will have the effect OF
deciding claims amounting to nearly
100000. Recurring deficits IN the
county general fund have marked the
operation Of the law, as the super
visors have said that they have been
unable to figure their expenditures
within their income for the last two
years.
District Attorney Brown said re-
Gently that he would welcome the ding
of such a suit. as the matter of up-
paid claims had assumed an extremely
serious aspect
