The plan of raising the county as

with the plan of intimidating the yot-
ers into adopting the amendment.
According to persons well posted on
the question, the adoption of the
amendment would mean that the state
board of equalization would have ex-
elusive charge of the various corpora
tions of California.
The amendment is so framed that, II

Is paramount to the statement that
such a gathering never could take
place, hence the bill would remain in
force indefinitely.
Another feature of the bill which mas
been a subject of comment reads as
follows: "Out of the revenues from the
taxes provided for in this section to-
gether with all other state revenues,
there shall be first set apart the
moneys to be applied by the state TO

Such a law gives into the hands of
the state board of equalization even

fought is assured, and the recent acts
of the state board of equalization have
opened the eyes of the public to the
fact that discrimination has been and

NEW SOUL MATE IS
REVEALED TO EARLE
SAYS FRIENDSHIP FOR MISS
DUNN Is PLAT0NIC
Artist Says Trip to Europe Is Only
Friendly Result of Finding
TWO Hearts in
Tune

NEW YORK, Sept. Followers of
the school Of philosophy advocated by
Ferdinand Pinney Earle and friends
of the Monroe. N. Y. artist, declared
today that the friendship between
Earle and Miss Gertrude Buell. Dunn,
with whom he is reported to be trav-
cling in Europe, is absolutely of
platonic nature.
1t is purely a "union of souls" they
say, with no thought of the marriage
or relations approaching marriage.
Ferdinand Pinney Earle obtained no.
toriety in September, 1907, when he an
nounced that he and his first wife,
who was Miss E. M. Eischbacher, had
agreed that their souls were not in
tune. Mrs. Earle obtained a divorce
and the artist married Miss Julia Kutt-
ner, young settlement worker, who
had been living at his house in Mon
roe before he and his wife separated.
Mrs. Kuttner-Earle is now suing him
for divorce on the ground that Earle
never was properly divorced from his
first wife.
Earle and Miss Dunn. 1t is said, met
first at a house party of the members
of their cult near Norwalk, Conn.,,
last spring. Since then their compan-
ionship has been almost constant and
a week ago, 1t is said, they sailed for
Europe.
Earle and Miss Dunn, their friends
say, found their first mutual interest
in the artists proposition to turn his
large house at Monroe into an asylum
for foundlings. For the discussion of
this proposition. it is said, they spent
two weeks together at Monroe, Miss
Dunn being accompanied by a chap
eron.

TAKES CHLOROF0RM AND
DIES AT EDGE OF WHARF
Martin X. Anderson, Whose Wife Is
Said to Be in Los Angeles, Kills
Himself in North

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1.-Martin
K. Anderson, we'll known to seafaring
men on the Pacific coast and secretary
of the Marine Engineers union of this
city, committed suicide early today by
taking chloroforrn.
According to note addressed to j.
j. Seary, business manager of the
union, and found at the headquarters
of the organization, Anderson took the
drug in his office. The note read:
Good bye, all; chloroform won't
kill"
Evidently he feared that he would be
discovered before the chloroform could
take effect, as his body was found at
the end of the Mission street wharf, a
short distance away, where he had
died in an effort to reach the edge and
make death certain by jumping into
the water.
Anderson was married and lived in
Alameda, although his wife for some
time has been in Los Angeles. Accord
ing to a deputy coroner who inVesti-
gated domestic and business troubles
were the cause of the suicide.

CUBAN OFFICIALS ON

STATUS OF LOTTERY TO BE
THOROUGHLY DISCUSSED
Sener Nodarse Declares That Political
Troubles on the Island
Have Been Adjusted
Satisfactorily

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-Senor Or
encio Nodarse, Cuba's director general
of postof1ces and telegraphs, accompa-
MED by Assistant Director Charles M.
Barnet, have arrived here from Ha-
vana to confer with Postmaster Gem
eral Hitchcock on postal matters. The
lottery, which the Cuban government
soon will issue, and the adoption by
Cuba of the system of collecting mails
with automobiles are among the sub
jects to be discussed.
Senior Nodarse states that it is his
desire to keep the lottery tickets out
of this country although, until after
his talk with the postmaster general,
he said he could not say what methods
will be observed to guard against at
tempts to send them here.
As to Cuba's commercial and political
status, Senior Nodarse was optimistic.
Everything in Cuba is harmonious" 3"
he said 1.-THE two factions of the
liberal party which, up to within a
fortnight ago, were unfriendly toward
each other have now made up and
harmony has ben established.
"Our financial matters are prosperous.

of previous years. The total amount
of the crop is expected to reach 100000

GIRL WITH PISTOL HOLDS
3JAIL BREAKERS AT BAY
PIucky Miss in Indiana Prevents
Prisoners Escaping from
Their Cells

LAWRENCEBURG, Ind, Sept. l.
Miss Alice White, the 16-year-old sis
ter of Sheriff White, prevented a jail
delivery here yesterday by arming her
self with a revolver and holding three
desperate men at bay until help
reached her, and the escaping prison
ers were safely locked in separate cells.
Sheriff White was temporarily abb
sent from the Jail and his sister heard
noise that attracted her attention.
She tiptoed into the corridor and saw
three prisoners using a file on the bars
of the windows overlooking the jail
yard Two of the bars had been sawed
in half, and they We're at work on the
third, which barred their way to lib
erty.
Miss White secured a revolver and
hurried out into the yard and con-
fronted the prisoners just as one of
them was getting out of the window.

NEW STATUTE IN FORCE
TO PREVENT JOY RIDING
Other States May Adopt Penal Laws
Now In Effect in
New York

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-Several Of the
thirty-four new penal laws which took
effect i'm this state today probably will
form precedents for other states. One
of them is that which deems a chauf-
feur guilty of larceny if he takes out
his employers automobile without con-
sent. This is designed to discourage
"joy" riding.
Another law provides a tifty-year
sentence for kidnapping, and it is hoped
this will have an effect of dampening
the ardor of Black Hand societies
which threaten TO steal children unless
literally bribed.
Another law makes the dealing in
street car transfers a misdemeanor,
and the business of dispensing law by
mail is made punishable offense.
This will put out of business many
concerns that have made a feature OF
dealing in law wholesale and. retail.

MARS ECLIPSED
COMPLETELY BY MOON
Astronomers Interested in Unusual
Spectacle Visible to Naked Eye
in the United States

NEW YORK, Sept. Am astrono-
mical spectacle that cannot be seen
again within an ordinary lifetime oc-
Cured last night during period of
about fifty minutes. Beginning be-
tween S:42 and o'clock, the planet
Mars was totally eclipsed by the moon
and the "ocultation' as the astrono-
mers call 1t, was distinctly visible to
the naked eye.
All over the country astronomers
viewed and photographed the eclipse.
They did not have an immense advan-
tage over the layman, however, for
without any instrument the latter was
able to see the night luminary sweep
across the big bright planet which has
been conspicuous in the sky for sew
eral nights.
