WHY ENLARGE THE ASSESSORS
GRAFT

The fight OF the assessors may have
some merit. but II fails 10 appeal to
those not holding the Offices.
They want the job the sherlrs now
have OF collecting the taxes. and IT
WOULD ENLARGE THEIR FUNC-
TONS ABOUT DOUBLE.
The result would be that the shcr-
off's once would keep all the help Il
now has, and the assessors would
hire lot more.
To be both assessor and tax-col-
lector would make the assessor THE
BIG HIGH MCCY-MUCK ~ EVERY

II would make places for a lot OF
politicians. and the people would BE-
very glad to get rid OF some they
now have.

a position of almost dictators To the

he does the man who plows four

"BILLY" HYNES BUTT OF
BIRD STORE ESTATE JOKE
Wits Harass Him With Notes,
Phone Calls and Seeds

Dear Sir: I have always wanted a
canary. and as / see by the paper that
Mr.. Williams, the birdman, has died
and has no one to leave his birds to,
L would ask that you give me one Of
those little yellow canaries. 1 would
be very kind to it. Yours truly.
The above is sample of the numer-
Gus letters that poured into the office
of NJ. j. Hynes, public administrator,
all day yesterday. And that wasn't all.
Hynes visited the Elks club Monday
night and while there enjoying himself
he received no less than 100 telephone
messages, asking that certain birds be
given to certain friends
This has been the most trouble
some estate I have had since have
been public administrator" said Hynes
yesterday. The people seem TO think
that these birds have been left to me
and that 1 haye the entire disposition
of them.
"The telephone messages? Well.
they are a joke, but 1 think that it
is carrying 1t too far when they send
by a messenger boy several packages
of bird seed and about two pounds of
cutie fish for the birds. Poor, little
things.

That Does Not Please

Latham McNulty, whose occupation
is unknown, defended himself before
Police Judge Conlan yesterday on a
charge of petty larceny for stealing a
bottle of whisky from Patrick Murnane

that he aroused the judges indigna-

this morning he will get the limit.
McNulty declared that he was not a
thief a vagrant or drunkard that
he had never been in trouble before
and felt his disgrace lseenly. He ad-
nitted taking the bottle of whisky, but
1t must have been in a moment of abb

CALHOUN CASE
LAGS WITH SIX

Process of Elimination Con-
tinues Without a Single
Step Forward
Two TaIesmen Held Over From
Monday DisquaIify Them
selves

The process Of elimination continued
as the only real. active element in the
Calhoun trial yesterday. There was
not q single step forward toward the
completion Of the impanelment OF the
half formed jury and the only pros
poets in sight when the case was con-
vened yesterday morning failed to ma
terialize into real jurors.
Two talesmen We're held over from
Monday for further examination yes
terday morning, but though the previ-
Gus inquiries had held out some hope
that they might be temporarily passed
this was very quickly dissipated.
Abraham s. FEEDER the real estate man
who is a member OF the firm handling
Abe Ruefs property, was the first 10
go. He opened the door for his own
dismissal by making a statement TO
declared he was trying TO get on the
jury and adding that this was the very
opposite of his real intentions.

The challenge interposed by the prose
cution Monday afternoon had not been
formally protested.
HENEY CALLS TURN

Judge Lawlor said that he had also
understood that a denial was inter
posed to the challenge and that he had
assumed the formal statement 10 have
been inadvertently omitted. He
brought the matter TO an end without
any further useless expenditure Of time
by promptly allowing the challenge.
Andrew Foreman disqualified himself
almost is quickly as FEEDER, though the
efforts Of the defense 10 shake his
declarations OF fairness had proved
futile Monday. Foreman said he had
never paid any attention to the news

because he had heard Of supervisors
being bribed at least 20 years ago and
thought it had continued ever since
Moreover. he said he didn't care
whether they were bribed or not.

same and ] don't care who gets the

HENEY AND MOORE CLASH,
There was a slight clash between
Heney and A A. Moore during the
afternoon session, while the examina-
ton of Frank H. Gardiner, a real
estate dealer, was in progress. Gardi-
ner said he was opposed to the grant
ing of immunity to the supervisors
and explained to Heney that he
thought it had been given after they
had confessed. While Heney was
sounding him on this subject, Stanley
Moore at a whispered suggestion from
his father. put in couple of ques-
tions amounting practically to state
ments that immunity had been first
offered 10 the supervisors through
James L. Gallagher. and also TO Ruef
and Schmitz, by Rudolph Spreckels in
person.
Objections were made to the ques-
tions on the ground that through them
the defense was seeking to exploit an
issue of the case having no bearing
on the state of mind of the juror.
Moore retorted that the defense was
willing to exploit the matter. and
Heney responded just as hotly that
the opportunity would be afforded

A Big January Opening.

From the number of letters we
are receiving every day from
prospective stating they will be
with us on January first, we
feel safe in saying that our Jan
uary opening will be the largest
in the history of the school. We
have quite a number who want
to begin the work just as soon
after the holidays as is possible,
which is made easy, by the fact
that we have no vacation, but
our school is open all through
the holidays, and those who are
here for business, reed not lose
any time at all. Those who
wish to go home may do SO on
Thursday the 23d and return
ready for work on January the
End. It is a good idea to en-
roll the last week in Dec, so as
to be started off ready for a good
years work on the first. Our
work is practically all taught on
the individual plan. and a fast
student is not held back by a
dull student, and the slow stu
dent is not pushed on by the fast
one. Eeach one does the work
he is capable of doing. This, to-
gether with the Famous Byrne
System, which we teach, is one
reason why nearly all our stu
dents finish their course. They
can finish in about one half the
time it takes in any other sys-
tenn. To any one desiring pro-
motion, and a greater success
than you are now enjoying, it
will pay you to write us for par
ticulars regarding our courses,
and see what we have been do
ing for others, what we do for
them, we can do for you. Never
put off, and have as your motto
DO 1t Now" Decide Now"
to take a course with us.
