"THE TALK OF NEW YORK"

1.-The Talk of New York" the most ia
nous of all the Conan musical successes,
is announced as one of the coming at
fractions at the Salt Lake theatre, with
Victor Moore and the original east and
chorus. This ever-popular music show,
the masterpiece of George NJ. Cohan,
holds the undisputed record of all mu-
steal plays, both for the length Of its
vogue and for the amount of money it
has attracted to the box offices OF the
Colonial theatre, Chicago, and the Knick-
erbocker theatre in New York City. THE
Talk of New York always appeals for
the exceeding beauty Of its music is
equalled by the richness Of its humOr.
This attraction is under the personal d.
rection of MessTs. Cohan and Harris,
which is a guarantee in itself that the
performance will be equal to all the de-
mands of theatregoers.

Herbert Choynski, representing the ac
cused book keeper, did not anticipate
such an early trial of their clients
case. and understood that it would not
be considered until after the Calhoun
trial. Judge Lawlor, however, ordered
Costello to appear this morning and
agree upon an early date for the trial
Attorney Theodore Roche appeared
before Judge Lawlor yesterday morn
ing also, and asked that a denosition

CONTROVERSY
WITH MRS. BESANT
Secretary of Point Iona Socie-
ty to Reopen Leadbeater Case
With TheosOphical Leader

When Mrs. Annie Besant, interna-
tional president of the Theosophical
society, comes to San Francisco to
lecture next Sunday she will be called
upon TO defend her position in the
much discussed Leadbeater case. The
matter has been brought up by ]. III.
Russell. secretary of the Universal
brotherhood and Theosophical society,
with headquarters at Point Iona.
The societies presided over by Mrs.
Besant and Mrs. Katherine Tingley
were originally one, but differences led
to the separation. For some time an
issue has been made of the Leadbeater
case, which dates back to 1906. 1t is
charged by RUSSELL, the secretary of
the Point Iona society, that c. w.
Leadbeater, a member of Mrs. Besants
society, was guilty of immoral teach
ings. that he once resigned and that he
has since been reinstated with honor
by Mrs Besant. Russell has placed
his charges in writing. He says in
part:
For many years prior to 1906 there
had been persistent rumors in India
and Ceylon that this man (LeadbeateTO
had been giving immoral teachings to
young boys. In 1906, actual testimony
having been received from some boys
in this country, a memorial was ad-
dressed to Mrs. Besant by the members
of her society in this country stating
the case, a copy being also sent to Mr..
Leadbeater, who at the time was with
Mrs. Besant in Benares, India. After
consultation with Mrs. Besant Lead
beaten wrote a reply to Mr.. Fullerton,
the then general secretary of Mrs Be
SAINTS society in America, in which he
admitted the facts as true but sought
TO excuse himself by saying that he
gave this teaching to- boys as pro-
lection against evil later on.
AT the same time Mrs Besant re-
piled. repudiating in the strongest
terms such teachings and practices,
but considering Leadbeaters motive
sincere and repeating his excuses"
Russell asserts that the charges were
later taken up by a board of inquiry
and that Leadbeater confessed to their
truth. In the meantime Leadbeater
had resigned.
RUSSELL continues:
Almost Immediately. however. GER
tain members of Mrs. Besant's socfaty
began an agitation for the reinstate-.
ment Of Leadbeater. And in spite of
her emphatic statement in her letter
above referred to; in spite of her
pledges given at the time Of her cleo
ton to the presidency that she would
oppose Leadbeater's reinstatement. and
her declaration that it would be ruin
GUS to the society TO reinstate him. in
spite of all this, Mrs. Besant has read
mitted this man to her society with
honor"

BANKERS 'FLIMFLAM'
THE TAXING POWER
Chairman Brown of State Board
of Equalizers Says Asses
sors Are Deluded
Fresno County Shows Small
Sum of Money for the
Business Done

yesterday might be termed bankers
day at the meeting of the state boa I'd
OF equalization. The evasions whereby
bankers all over the state, according
to Chairman Brown, delude the taxing
power with statements that would
wreck them IL made to any sort OF
nank commissioners, were brought out
In the examination of Assessor Cum
minis of Fresno county.
Inc bankers f1im1am the assess
ors,' said Brown, summing up his con-
illusions.
There is no doubt the bankers in
our county shift their money" admit
tea Cummlns. I'VE have II banks in
our county, and, as you say, the coun-
ty roll shows a total of money and
solvent credits Of just sfs2,00o. But
how to get anything out of the bank
ers is question"
Wen, give them chance to perjure
themselves" suggested McElyaine. but
no one expressed a belief that this
herolc measure would result in any
considerable increase in the totals of
the money and solvent credit" column.
Fresno also produced an original
method of estima ting land values. On
examination of State Controller Nye,
Cummins inStanced one ranch which,
he said, had been sold during the year
for $27.50o."
The purchaser received, however"
added the assessor, $4,000 for the
years crop, so he really paid only $751;
500 for the place."
Two cent raisins hardly pay for
their raising and handling" said Cum
minis, giving that as the prevailing
market rate the last season. which
wouldn't make the vineyards worth
much on an income basis.
Yes, but we have been hearing that
same story from Fresno for the last
II years." said the chairman. Il sup
pose you sometimes make money down
there"
In Fresno, having a population of
about $4,000, with 10000 in the county,
the appraisers reported the best bust
ness property-that of the Grand Cen
trail hotel and the First national bank
AS appraised at $3.50 a front foot and
assessed at $685. The assessments
throughout the county were found to
average close to 65 per cent of the
ADVERTISEMENTS. The county showed an
increase In its assessment roll of $14.-
900 900 in four years, and this in spite
of land transfers to Kings county,
which deducted s2,o00,O00 worth of real
property.
Kings and Tulare counties were re-
viewed in the afternoon. The state
board found that Assessor G. M. Muir
ray of Kings had assessed property on
the average for only % per cent OF the
appraised values. In Tulare the pro-
portion ranged between "A and 60 per
cent, but there was little segregation
of orchard and orange grove land from
that used for grazing or wheat grow
ing and the board ordered additional
statements to be made before deciding
whether the state should increase the
assessments or not.

In golden youth, when seems tho earth
a summer land OF singing mirth.
W men souls are glad and hearts are
And not shadow turks In sight.
We do not know f. but there lies
somewhere veiled under evening skies
a garden All must some time see
: he garden Of Gethsemane.
With joyous steps we 90 our WAYS:
Love lends a halo 60 our days:
Light s)rrows sail like clouds afar.
We laugh and say how strong we are.
We hurry on, and. hurrylng, go
Close to the borderlanc OF woe
That waits for you and waits for me-
Forever waits-Gethsemane.
Down shadowy lanes, across strange
streams
Brldged over by our broken dreams:
Behind the misty caps OF years
Beyond the great salt fOunt OF tears
The garden lies. Strive az YOU may
You cannot miss Il in your way:
All paths that have been or may be
Lead somewhere through Gethsomaue.
All those who journey, soon OF latA.
Must pass within the gardens gatai
Must kneel alone In darkness there
And battle with some fierce despair

Not mine. but Thine" who only pray
Let this cup pass" and cannot see
His purpose in Gethsemane.
