ATTACKS VALIDITY
OF FRANCHISE TAX
Well Fargo Express Company
Sues to Recover Money Paid
Under Protest
Corporation Denies Legality OF
Assessment Levied Against
Franchise by City Assessor

The Wells Fargo companys annual
suit for the recovery of taxes paid to
the city upon the value of its fran
chise was begun in the superior court
yesterday For the year ending June
80. 1909 the assessor fixed the value
of the franchise at 100000, and on
this pretended assessment $1,000
taxes were levied This amount was
paid the city under protest and the
express company wants the money
back Similar suits filed in previous
years are now pending in the superior
court
The real and personal property of
the company in the city has been as
sessed at s746,561, and upon this taxes
to the amount of $14,1S4 have been
levied and paid. The assessment on the
franchise. it is asserted is in violation
of the constitution and laws of the
state and is void in whole and in
part"
AS an argument that a franchise is
not properly assessable ii is stated in
the complaint that the corporation S
franchise would not be taken by any
creditor in payment of a debt. In
making the assessment the assessor did
not take into account that the cor
poration has offices and places of busi-
ness in about 1000 towns in the United
States, and that it pays taxes on each
Office. it is stated The corporation also
argues that the express business is
open to free competition and that it
enjoys no special privilege or advan-
tages under the laws of the state.

merce yesterday adopted resolution
requesting Governor Gillett to- offer
reward for the capture of the COM
panion of James German the thug
who robbed the Offices of the Thomson

any such attempt led the trustees of
the chamber to adopt the resolution.
The resolution also called upon the
police department and the district at
torney's Office to prosecute vigorously
the guilty parties for robbery and as
sault with attempt to commit murder.
A vote of thanks was extended TO

Mexican college for training teachers:
The inauguration of the new normal
school building at Saltillo February 5
marks an epoch in the history of edu-
cation in Mexico, as this is stated to
be the first normal school built on
modern plans to be completed in the
republic The edifice was erected by
the state of Coahuila at a cost of more
than S150,000, United States currency,

two stories and basement. Including
the normal pupils, business classes for
girls and the various practice classes
of primary pupils, the authorities of
the school expect that over 500 pupils
will receive instruction in the building.
The building is well equipped with a
large gymnasium, chemical and phys
ical laboratories, music rooms, etc,
While workrooms for manual training
are also provided. Domestic science
instruction is also provided for the
girls many of whom are pensioned by
the state government while they are

Swear 1t Was Old Woman

An old Singalese woman, who lived

died and was buried. On the following g
day, says the Java Times, a large

of gentleman living close by and at
tackled his poultry.
Hearing the noise and commotion, he
came out and on ascertaining the
cause, got his gun and shot the iguana.
No sooner had he done this than there
arose a great uproar from the relatives
of the old woman who declared that
he had killed her because her spirit
had passed into the lizard, in proof of
which they pointed triumphantly to
the fact that it had never before been
seen in the vicinity and only appeared
after her death.
Rupees finally appeased the outraged

William NJ Abbott yesterday
issued the following statement:
Francis j. Heney's attack on
me in a morning paper is based
upon pcrjured statement made
nv John n. Helms, who, it now
appearx. was in the employ of
william j. Burns in November,
1905, at the time he accepted en-
pIOyment from the United Rail-
roads.
OF course. L never said to Helms
that "Heney ought to be shot
This piece of perjury is evidently
nut in Helms mouth for the ul-
terror purposes Of the prosecution.
Francis J. Heney's deductions are
an false as the per ured statement
upon which they are based.

Francis J. Heney should grow
ahustve and rahid in his state

abuse to distract public attention.

HONOLULU, May 15.-Heart broken
because of the death of his wife and
unable to force himself to remain alone
amid the surroundings where he was
happy for four years, DIR. Walter r.
Brinckerhoff, the meteorological ex-
pert who has had charge of the con-
struction of the great federal leprosy
experiment station on MoIokai and
who was TO have conducted the ex-
perimental work at that station which
is expected to result in the discovery
of cure for leprosy, has resigned his
position and will turn the work over
to some other scientist.
Doctor Brinckerhoff came to Hawaii
about four years ago, Immediately
after his marriage TO the beautiful
young heiress, Miss Nellie White, a
New York. society girl The news
papers throughout the country devoted
much space to the heroism of the
young bride, who was commonly sup
posed to be coming to Hawaii to de-
vote her life to the lepers and to live
among them.
As a matter of fact, the Brineker-
hoffs never did live on Molokai, but
resided in Honolulu, Doctor Brincker-
hoffer making only such trips to the
settlements as his supervision of the
construction of the leprosarium de-
manded. His real work was done in
this city. where his experimental labo-
ratory was located and where he dis
covered what it is hoped will turn out
to be a cure for the hitherto incurable
disease.
Mrs. Brinckerhoff died in childbirth
a few weeks ago and Doctor Brincker-
hoff has been in despair ever since.
The leprosarium on Molokai is just
being completed and will be ready for
use in a few weeks.
DIR. Donald H. Currie OF the marine
hospital service, who has been in
charge of the rat campaign here for
several months. has been offered the
position made vacant by the resigna
tion of Doctor Brinckerhof.

shown nv Hamlin's confession since
his arrest. This fact was suspected py
Helms at the time he returned TO san
Francisco and secured service for the
secon6 time under Abbott, while ac-
tuaIlv in the secret employment OF
Burns. In order TO confirm his sus-
picions. Helms told Abbott that ne oe-
lieved he could then reach HamAln'
and received a curt order from Aopott
to let HanIin alone. Helms then went
IN Hemlin and secured from him an
admission that he was receiving money
from the United Railroads
Durine the time that Helms was
working for the United Railroads under
the orders of Burns, his real employer,
he declares that he never turned over
to Burns a single report secured oy
the defense concerning any juror, nor
did he report to Burns any information
of a legitimate nature which he Sc
cured from Calhoun's attorneys. The
only matters which he was instructed
to report and the only matters which
he did report were those concerning
the criminal operations of members Of
the defendants organization.
Helms first return visit TO San Fran
cisco after leaving the employ of both
Burns and the United Railroads in
February of this year, was OF only
five DAYS duration, at the time he was
brought here under a subpoena to ap
pear in police court. It was then ar
ranged that Gon and Lorentzen were
to accompany him on his return to
Trinity county. to be present in the
event that any attempt was made by
the defense to reach him. That the
precaution was well taken was evil
denced by the subsequent events.
Helms was visited at his ranch by
Attorneys Hugh and John O'Neill of
San Francisco and later by Wingfield
S Lamb and Asemblyman John Nc
CleIlan OF Humboldt county, who stated
that they were acting under the in
struction of Attorney A ]. Monroe of
Eureka,
Through them Helms declares that
he was told if he would stand pat
and refuse to testify he would be well
taken care of by the United Rail-
roads Later, on his last trip to San
Francisco, he was approached by Frank
J. Murphy, one of Abe Ruefs attor-
neys. and met at the ferry depot in
this city by Hugh O'NeiH In the mean
while he had been teIephoned to at
Harris by Lamb.

ATTEMPT-TO TRAP-LoNERGAN

One of the most interesting develon-
ments of the trial during the last few
days has been the disclosures of the
early attempts TO trap members of the
boodling board of supervisors One
of the first steps taken by Burns con-
cerned the employment of Thomas
Lonergan by the Metropolitan electric
construction and supply company The
proprietors are Timothy r. Sullivan
and F. G. Cartwright. who co-operated
with the district attorneys office in
an endeavor to obtain the necessary
evidence against the grafters The
Metropolitan electric construction and
supply company is a bona fde organi-
zation and not a mythical or fake
concern formed for this purpose as
has been stated. Lonergan was en-
ployed at salary of $50 week to
solicit business. In this way it was
intended TO cultivate him so that he
might be made witness for the state
1t was through the skating rink or
dnance. however, that Lonergan was
trapped. He was caught again at
later date through the fictitious oil
ordinance.
With the resumption of the Calhoun
trial tomorrow morning another effort
will be made by the prosecution to
put in evidence the bundle of jury
reports and other documents stolen
from the Office of William ]. Burns.
used by the defense during the Ford
trials and finally recovered through
the search Of William NJ Abbott's pri-
vate safe in the offices of the United
Railroads. The defense has made
strenuous fight to keep the contents of
this package of stolen papers from be-
ing made public and proceedings may
have to be had in three departments
OF the superior court before the pack
age is opened
When the reports were recovered by
Burns men restraining order was is
sued by Superior Judge Seawell to pre-
vent Police Judge Deasy, by whom the
search warrant authorizing the raid on
Abbott's safe was given, from opening
the bundle Contempt of court pro-
ceedings were also brought by Cal
houn's attorneys in Judge Murasky's
court against the officials of the dis
trict attorneys Office who recovered the
papers. Both these actions are still
pending and may have to be decided be-
fore the package can be unsealed.
The prosecuting attorneys, however
are preparing to produce legal authority
to show their right TO have the docu-
ments displayed in court, and this mat
ter will probably be the first taken IN
tomorrow morning. AS soon as the
point in controversy regarding the
papers is settled Helms will be re-
called to the witness stand
