New Measure.
WILL HURT TOURIST TRADE

Although not vet acted upon by the
board of supervisors except to refer it
to committee, Jim Quinn s proposed
hack fare ordinance has assumed a
prominent place in society. Nice things
have been said about it by some from
Jim Quinn up to the automobile drivers.
and it has been knocked by people from
the promotion committee officers down
to the average citizen who will have
to pungle up the difference between
existing rates and the proposed rates.
The promotion committee has not vet
officially recognized the proposed ordi-
nance, further than that it was before
yesterdays meeting just forty five see.
onds, which was time enough to pass
it over until the meeting next Thurs,
day. Stress of business yesterday pre-.
vented proper consideration.
The matter will be brought before
the committee by Will j. Cooper, and
it is probable that it will take a great
deal of discussion before the members
recognize any features in it that bring
it in the province of the promotion

SAN FRANCISCO, November f.
Results of the election make it clear
that this city will be more of wide
open town than at any time during
the rule of the reform forces. The
ordinance reducing the price of liquor
licenses was submitted to the people
for their decision, and the canvass of
the ballot completed today shows that
the cheap-Iicense people have won.

Antisalooners Meet.

Yesterday, when The Advertiser
stated that an agreement was supposed
to exist between the prohibltionists
and the liquor men and that the mis-
sion of Woolley to Washington appear
ed in violation of that agreement, the
news caused a sensation in the tenn
perance ranks, and a meeting of the
Anti Saloon League members was call
ed at once. At this morning meeting
Mr.. Castle stated that letter from
him. addressed to Representative Co.
hen. written in regard to the Moore
liquor bill. was in existence. He ex
planned the circumstances of the writ
ing of the letter and the delivery of
it to Cohen.
A recess was taken to allow him to
bring in copy of the letter and also
a copy of a subsequent letter. which
he believed he had written. abrogating
the terms of the first. The last let
ter. however, was not found, and Mr..
Castle states was probably not written
after all.
A discussion of the letter and the
explanation resulted in the antisaloon
ieaguers deciding that they were not
bound by any of the terms mentioned
in the Castle letter, and it was re
solved to continue in the Washington
campaign for the passage of the prohi-
bition bill.

WILL PRESS
FOR THE BILL
Anti-Saloon League Says 1t Is
Not Bound by Any Promise
Not to Do So.
THE CASTLE-C0HEN LETTER
What the Agreement Was-HoW
1t Came ACCOMPLISHMENTS
of Those Concerned.
THE CASTLE-C0HEN LETTER

Whatever promises were made to the
| liquor bill III the legislature at the last
regular session would mean cessation
of prohibition work in the Territory for
two years do not bind the members of
the Anti4Saloon League. Such was de-
cided at a two-session conference of
the member of the league yesterday,
when the charge that the temperance
people of the Territory were showing
bad faith in backing John G. Woolley's
trip to Washington was taken up and
investigated.
AT this meeting, for the first time,
the majority of the prohibitionists
learned that any letter carrying any
promise had been sent to anyone. When
the letter, or copy of it, was shown
and the explanation of its being sent
made before the members, it was de-
cided that it bound no one but the
writer, W. R. Castle.
An interesting feature of the news
brought out by the charge of bad faith
is that Woolley is on his way to Wash
ington as the special representative Of
the local Anti-Saloon League, delegated
to represent that organization at
number of prohibition conventions and
act as special lobbyist for the bill
placing Hawaii in the dry column.
Another interesting feature of yes
terday IS news is the fact that the pro-
hibition bill before congress was intro
duced without the knowledge of anyone
of the temperance workers in Hawaii
and without consulting any one of them.
The publication of the bill in The Ad-
vertiser shortly after its introduction
was the first intimation to the temper
ance workers of Hawaii that such
measure was even being thought of.
Woolley himself first read of the bill
in The Advertiser. The opportunity of
securing prohibitory legislation is
thought too good to be allowed to pass,
however, and as soon as the fact of
the bill was learned steps were taken
in Honolulu to send Woolley to work
for its passage at Washington.
This bill, which many of the tenn
perance workers and others think stands
more than good chance of becoming
law, was introduced into congress by
Senator johnson, of North Dakota,
since deceased He introduced it as
part of the program of the National
Reform League, which is working to
secure the passage of prohibition laws
for all the Territories, for the passage
of amendments to the interstate com
merce laws to forbid the shipment of
liquors into probihitory Territory and
several other like objects.

ASSESSMENT FIGHT
Realtymen Name Committee to
Meet With State Board
of Equalization

ALAMEDA. Aug. 22.-Loca1 real es-
tate dealers and property owners who
object to the proposed raise by the
state board of equalization of realty
values in this city have appointed the
following as committee 20 wait upon
the state board, which will be in Oak
land Tuesday morning: Fred n. Del
anoy, L. W. McGlaufiin. George E.
Plummer. d. L. Randolph and George
Hoffman.
The committee was named at meet
ing of those interested held last night.
f. n. Delaney said that the state board
planned to increase the assessment in
this city about 20 per cent and that if
the raise went into effect it would mean
about $4,000 Increase in the taxation
here. Delaney further said that the
state board of equalization had seized
upon the three richest counties in the
state-San Francisco, Alameda and Los
Angeles-as its prey and asserted that
these counties would have to bear the
burden of the state increase.
Deputy County Assessor T. c. Stod-
dard presented some figures on assess
ments made by special assessors sent
out by the state board of equalization.
In several instances according to Stod-
dard, the figures of the special assess
ors were two and three times greater
than the assessments made by the city,
and the county assessors. One piece of
Dropertv in Park street which had been
assessed at $1,000 by the city assessor,
was assessed at nearly $4,000 by the
special assessors.
