RAILROAD TAXATION
EXPERT MAKES REPORT
G. I. Klink Files Results of His
Investigations With Board
of Equalization
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SACRAMENTO, July &C. T. Klink,
railroad taxation expert employed by
the state board of equalization at the
request of State Controller Nye to as
certain If the annual gross earning
statements of the various railroads
operating in California. as presented to
the equalizers this year, are correct,
reported TO the board today.
According to Klink the San Pedro
and Salt Lake line and the Central Pa
cific railroads have not, by their meth
Cd of figuring, presented an accurate
account of their respective earnings
for the last fiscal year
The Southern Pacific and Northwest
ern Pacific. Klink renorted this morn
ing had rendered accurate statements
Klink stated that he was not able to
determine as closely as he desired
whether or not the report of the Santa
Fe is defective to any great extent, for
the reason that the corporation in
question does not keep a tabulated ac-
count of all its California earnings.
Klink explained that the Southern Pa
cific and the Northwestern Pacific fig
ure their earnings on the mileage basis
and are able TO keen accurate accounts
Of their incomes. The Northwestern
Pacific operates entirely in California
and its report is not as complicated
as the interstate lines. The reports
which will be made next year, Kli-k
says. will be compiled under the mile
age basis system used by the Southern
Pacific and the Northwestern Pacific.

HOT SOUP WEAPON
OF MRS. MARTIN
DasheS Bowl of Scalding Fluid
in Face of Woman Trusty
at Jail
MatrOn Intercepts Package of
Pepper Being Sent to AL
legged Dynamiter

OAKLAND, July 20.-Mrs. Isabella J..
Martin, awaiting trial at the county jail
on a charge of dynamiting the resi-
dence of Judge f. B. ogden, threw a
bowl of hot soup into the face of Mary
Harris, a woman trusty, severely scald-
ing her, according to report by Dep
uty Jailer Joseph Moffitt.
Yesterday pound package of pep
per, brought to the jail by Mrs. An
drea Lindal, one of Mrs. Martins wit
nesses, was intercepted by Matron
White, who imputed to Mrs. Martin a
determination to throw the pepper into
the eyes of her attendants if an oppor-
tunity presented. Mrs. White said that
Mrs. Martin is having a tantrum of
four days duration, during which it
is necessary to watch her with the ut
most care to prevent serious mischief.
The soup throwing followed a long
season of dislike which Mrs. Martin
has entertained for Mary Harris. Mrs.
Harris is serving a term for overin-
dulgence in stimulants and has been
made trusty for the women's ward.
She served the inmates of the ward
with soup in heavy bowls On return
ing to the room from the jail kitchen
Mrs. Harris was met with a torrent
of hot soup, thrown, as Moffitt says,
by Mrs. Martin. The soup streamed
over her face and neck and shoulders,
infiicting severe burns. Moffitt re-
ported that Mrs. Martin had frequently
threatened to get" Mrs. Harris and
that the attempt succeeded in spite
of the trusty being warned. The jail
physician dressed the burns.
Yesterday Mrs. Martin had a half
hour conference with Mrs. Lindal an
aged woman, in the screen room of the
Jail, and Mrs. Lindal returned to the
q
Martin. On examining the packages
Matron White found a pound of black
pepper, which was promptly removed
from the other articles Matron White
said that Mrs. Martin had often
threatened her and she feared that she
might have been blinded had the fiery
stuff been passed to the prisoner
No punishment of Mrs. Martin is pos
sible at present for the alleged soup
throwing, as there are no provisions
in the temporary jail for solitary con-
fnement of women prisoners.
