Many of the members-elect of the
incoming legislature are already dis
cussing the mortgage tax law and
there will doubtless be some legis-
lation along this line. AS matters
now stand the holder of a mortgage
on a farm pays taxes and the man
who owns the farm pays taxes on
the entire farm and interest on the
mortgage. This. clearly, is double
taxation and ought to be remedied,
and with the new talent in the leg
islature, it is almost certain that
something substantial will be done
along this line,

much attention and in which Attorney
Fred Thompson was complainant and
his neighbor, B. A. Rhodes, defendant,

after attempts to separate the dogs,
Rhodes is alleged to have struck the
Thompson dog with a rake, lacerating

suited in his acquittal.

BATTERED TO DEATH
BY SHOWER OF BRICK
Body Of Mexican Found Lying In Pool
of Blood-CompanIon In De-
bauch Is Arrested on
Suspicion

With his head beaten to a shapeless
mass and five bricks covered with
blood lying near by, the body of Zenon
Robes, 56 years old, a Mexican, was
found in q rear room Of cottage at
S22 Mateo street, yesterday afternoon.
Juan Miranda, who had been in the
house quarreling with the dead man,
was arrested by Detectives Ingram
and Beaumont and locked up in the
city Jail, and probably will be charged
with murder.
Il. B. Manriquez, who was the first
man to find the body and who notified
the police, said he moved from the
Mateo street cottage to place at 1866
Alameda street and engaged Robes to
assist him in moving. Manriquez and
F. Lastra, a friend, had taken a load
of household goods to the house in Ala
media street and returned to Mateo
street to get Robles, whom they had
left in the house to pack up the fur
niture. When they reached the place
they saw Miranda, in an intoxicated
condition, sitting on the front porch.
"I asked him what he was doing
there" said Manrlquez. "He looked
at me in a dazed manner and replied
that Robles was hurt and lying in the
back room. I had seen the two to-
we left the place. They had demi-
john of wine and were quarreling
about it. 1 thought nothing of the
matter, as they had been close friends,
and expected to find Miranda gone
when 1 returned.
IT went into the rear room and
found Robles lying on the floor, his
arms stretched out in pool of blood.
His head was battered and five bricks,
which / had used to raise the stove
from the floor, were near the body.
then asked Miranda about 1t, and he
denied any knowledge of how Robles
met his death. 1 called to Lastra and
had him guard Miranda while 1 tele-
phoned to the police"
Miranda, when taken to the police
station, was in state of intoxication,
and refused to say anything other
than he knew nothing about the mat
ter.
The body of Robles was taken to
the undertaking establishment of Bre-
see Brothers, where the coroner will
hold an inquest.
The dead man is survived by a
widow, from whom he recently separ-
ated, and by a brother.

FOUND BURNING TO
DEATH UNDER STOVE
AGED Hermit Discovered In Terrible
Condition In GanahI Street
Hut by Friendly
Woman

Bleeding from wounds on his face
and hands and both arms burned almost
to the bone, ]. H. Earles, 80 years old,
a. recluse, was found yesterday under
a rusty old cook stove in a tumbledoWn
shack at 258O Ganahl street, in a semi
conscious condition.
The condition of the old man was
discovered by Mrs. S. r. Conrad or 26Ol
Ganahl street, who was aware Of the
feebleness of Earles and frequently
went to the shanty to see how he was
getting along. When she arrived there
shortly before noon yesterday she
found him on a dirty quilt and under
the stove He was groaning feebly and
seemed to be suffering great pain. Mrs.
Conrad notified R. w. Radford, who
lives nearby, and with the assistance
of another neighbor the heavy stove
was lifted from the old man and he
was placed on the bundle of rags and
mattress which has been his bed for
the last three years.
The police ambulance was summoned
and the injured man was taken to the
receiving hospital. He was accom-
panied by his son, f. A. Earles, car
inspector for the Southern Pacific, liv-
ing in Downey avenue, who had been
notified of the accident to his father
The police surgeons bandaged the burns
hands of the old man, who still was in
q dazed condition and unable to tell
how he happened to get under the
stove.
The son of the injured man said his
father has been living the life of a
hermit since the death of his wife three
wears ago. The older man became sc
grief-stricken at the death of his wife
that he stopped work on cottage he
was building near the shack where he
was found and locked himself up in the
soualid quarters. Earles said he has
made several attempts to have his
father leave the lonely hut and come
and live with him, but the old man said
he would live in the same room where
his wife died until he also died.
Several bottles of alcohol and bottle
of whisky were found in the room oc-
cupied by Earles, and the police be-
Heve he was afflicted, with delirium
tremens and dived under the stove to
escape imaginary enemies.
The aged man is in serious condi-
tion and the police surgeons say he
may not recover.
