TIMES GRAND JURY
INQUIRY NEAR END
indictments Expected Within
Few DayS

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 2S.-The final
stage In the Times explosion investiga-
tion has been reached. The special
grand jury, which has been conducting
the inquiry for four weeks. will recon
vene tomorrow and officials of the dis :
trict attorneys Office. as we'll as out
side observers of the progress of the
case, are expecting the immediate re-
turn of indictments. How many of
these true bills there will be is un-
known, but 1T is common belief that
there will not be fewer than four and
probably five or six
1t is practically certain that three
of these will be directed against alleged
conspirators who are being sought by
detectives
In labor union circles there is a
strong impression that the special
grand jury also will name at least one
man who has been prominently identi-
fed with the organized labor move
ment.
Only three witnesses are yet held.
These are Anton Johannsen, organizer
for the building trades; Jack" Loft
house and Mrs. Belle LAWN, all of San
Francisco. Upon adjournment last
Wednesday the jury instructed them to

WELLS FARGO Wins
SUIT FOR TAXES
City Has No Right to Levy on
Franchise, Is Opinion of
the Court

Wells Fargo & Co. won a legal vic
tory yesterday as to the right of the
city to tax its franchise. This affects
foreign corporations doing business in
this state. Judge Seawel1. in overrul-
ing the city's demurrer in the action
OF Wells Fargo & Co. for the recovery
of $1.S60 of taxes paid under protest,
ruled that under the constitution and
laws OF California, as they exist.
corporation organized in some other
state and not having its principal place
of business in California can not be
taxed here on it's franchise. Wells
Fargo Ss-Co. is Colorado corporation.
and nasmuch as its principal place OF
business is not in California. the au
thorities of this state can not tax its
franchise.
The assessor of San Francisco had
valued the franchise as used in this
city at 100000, and on the tax rate of
s1.s6 for tho year ending June so. 1908,
the tax amounted to s1.s60. Other cor
porations with foreign charters that
have paid taxes here on their fran
chises have sued for the return of the
amounts paid. and the case of Wells
Fargo & Co. was regarded as test.
Assistant City Attorney Steinhart. re-
ferring to the decision. said that the
matter was not such an important one
now as it was at the time it was sub
mitted to the court for decision. Con-
situtional amendment No. I, as adopted
by the voters November last, provides
that corporations. and their franchises
shall be assessed by taxation by the
board of equalization. thus repairing
the omission which operated in favor
of the Wells Fargo company IN the
decision of Judge Seawell.
The city was given 10 days to hle
an answer to the complaint. In view
of the decision, Steinhart said, the city
may allow the corporation to take
Judgment on it's complaint and appear
from that judgment. IF, however, 1t
was concluded that the complaint did
not state all the relevant facts, an an
swer would be filed and the case tried
before Judge Seawell on its merits IN
an attempt to induce the judge to re-
verse his decision of yesterday.
