that, too and you keep moving away
from him and swinging the reward to
him from an increasing distance. Now
you are ready to begin with the hat or
cornucopia placing and tying a bit
of the fish up in the tip of it, you
toss it to the seal. He is dexterous
by nature, and his nose, detecting the
fish up in the cone, quickly seeks it.
He bites it out and tosses the cone
aside Before long he comes to as
sociate that cone with his loved fish,
and he will catch any number of sim
liar ones and toss them aside when he
fails to find what he wants. That's
all there is to the trick, you see
balancing the big rubber ball is
based on the same principle. The ball
is soaked in fishy brine and thrown to
the seal He gets the odor and tries
his best to get into the ball and find
what he's a. er. This results in his
balancing the ball on his nose, feat
for which his quickness, his supple,
muscular neck and his natural feeding
habits are all adapted and then he
gets his piece of fish as a prize.
"The man working with seals thinks
to himself, What else do seals do
naturally And the answer comes,
They like to slap and beat round with
their front flippers.' Here is the basis
for a good and effective trick Down
on the side of the pedestal on which
the seal is placed an automobile horn
is fastened, or a little drum, or a tin
pan. The seal, in his excitement OF
being fed, slaps with his flipper for all
he's worth, and you can see that with
a few simple adaptations, such as ty-
ing a cymbal to the flipper, for IN
stance. a seal band is assembled and
sets the audience wild by it's comic and
cleNer nerfOrmance."

CRIPPLE CHARGES
BELL WITH fraud
Poor Man Files a Complaint
Against Democratic Candidate
for $4,000 in Damages

Theodore A. Bell, the democratic can
didate for governor of California. was
charged yesterday in complaint filed
in the superior court by Charles ]. Car
roll, a former client, with dishonorabfe
conduct in a damage suit instituted by
Carroll against the Southern Pacific
railroad, with holding up" Carroll for
the last $40 he had in the world and
with throwing up the case when the
time limit for the recovery of damages
had almost expired. Carroll claims
from Bell $4,000 DANA ges. This was
the amount for which he brought suit
against the Southern Pacific in Marti-
nez. Contra Costa county, retaining
Bell to represent him.
1t was not possible TO obtain state
ment from Bell regarding the charges
yesterday. inasmuch he left for the
east in the morning before the filing of
the complaint.
Carroll has not employed an attoE-
ney TO assist him in his action against
the democratic politician, but sues lin
propria persona He states in his
complaint that he is a very poor man,
crippled having but one leg, and has
a family to provide for consisting of
wife and two small children. He en-
ployed Bell as his attorney in Decem-
Der, 1909, he says. because Bell rep
resented himself TO be antagonistic TO
the Southern Pacific. Carroll adds that
he believed this representation and it
was agreed that as his fee Bell should
have half the amount recovered.
That the defendant, Theodore A.
Bell, never intended to represent the
plaintiff and force the case onward to
trial. the complaint proceeds. was
manifested in. the work and results OBJ
tanned by said Theodore A Bell The
defendant did not act honestly toward
Charles J. Carroll, the plaintiff. and by
his dishonorableness the action brought
against the Southern Pacific railroad
has run until almost the time limit has
expired in accordance with the law for
damage recovery in California"
In q second cause of action Carroll
charges that Bell held back the trial
of the case and then. when the case
was almost outlawed in accordance
with Iaw for the recovery of damages,
threw up the case"

The FAIRGROUNDS
Annual Report of Commission
Shows Appreciation by the
General Public

The annual report of the playground
commission was submitted yesterday
by Secretary Joseph r. Hickey to the
supervisors. The fiscal year closing
June so was marked by the acquisition
of the city's two recreation grounds
set apart for children. The cost of
the North beach playground was re-
ported to have been $12,524; and that
of the South Side, s13.672. Work upon
each cost respectively $3.50 and S4,S79.
The total appropriation for the COM
mission of $4,000 was increased by a
1882 surplus from the previous year.
The year ended with a balance of s261.
Aside from the above, the largest
items of expenditure were: Salaries,
$3,S26; water. $170; auto hire. $40, and
stationery, s113.
In summing up the years work the
report concludes:
With but two grounds owned by
the city 1t the disposal of the COM
mission, all efforts have been ex-
pended toward making them ideal
and examples to be followed in fu-
ture construction of the kind
In bringing about the first public
bathing place to be constructed in
San Francisco North beach) the
playground commission ,highly ap-
preciates the cooperation of the
fire commissioners and the board
of public works, in addition to the
personal assistance of City Engi-
neer Marsden Manson.
From all sections of the city pc
titionS for Fairgrounds have been
presented to the commission. The
Mission district, in particular.
which is now one of the most
thickly settled neighborhoods in
the city, is sadly in need of play
grounds.

special meeting yesterday, intimated
that the South Side playground will
probably be opened to the public Sat

MERCHANTS Want
SPECIAL TAXLEVY
Substitute Offered for Proposed
Measure Raising Dollar
Limit

The Merchants association submitted
to the supervisors yesterday its propo-
sal that instead of amending the char
ter to raise the dollar limit to s1.25. an
amendment should be submitted for the
peoples ratification at the election No
vember s. authorizing the board to levy
special tax for certain enumerated
public improvements of permanent
character.
The form of amendment suggested,
after setting forth the provision enact
ing the dollar limit for general taxa
tion, as heretofore, continued:
Commencing with the last Monday of June
in the year 1911 and thereafter and in
Guiding the last Monday in June in the year
1871, for the fiscal years beginning July l.
1911. and thereafter to and including the
fiscal year commencing July 1, 1921, the
supervisors may. in addition 10 the tax per
mitted to be levied as aforesaid, for each of
said years, levy a special tax all prop
erty not exempt from taxation. by an ord-
nance passed by the affirmative vote of II
OF the supervisors and approved by the
mayor, provided that such special tax
levied shall specifically designate the partic
ular improvements measures for which
they are levied, and shall be specifically
apportioned among such improvements or
measures in general terms by name and pro-
be used or diverted. nor any part thereof
used or diverted for any other purposes than
that named in the ordinance levying the
same. and provided. further. that any unusel
surplus remaining in any appropriations
made from such special tax, at the end of
any fiscal year, shall not he transferred to
the surplus fund.- and shall not go into the
general fund be used for current ex-
penses, but that such surplus shall be reap
propriated for the same or similar purposes
for the following fiscal year. Said special
tax may be levied for any or all
of the following purposes, but for other
purpose, to wit:
Street work; sewers; public buildings;
additions to fire protection system: purchase

DONKEY CAMPAIGN
FOLLOWED BY SUIT
Mrs. Mary Ho4lenbeck Now Asks
$4,000 Damages From
Land Company

Mrs. Mary Hollenbecks SO 900 dam
company, TO which attention was
prominently directed some weeks ago
by the application of the company to
have Mrs. Hollenbeck enjoined from
displaying placards antagonistic to the
corporation on the sides of donkey,
was brought to trial In Judge Sturte-
wants court yesterday.
Company refuses to make agreed
improvements after lots sold BUYERS
beware. See Hollenbeck." This was
the legend Mrs. Hollenbeck caused the
humble burro to carry about Salada
beach. It was not at all encoura ging
to prospective buyers of Salada beach
lots, and the Ocean land company
sought an Injunction restraining Mrs.
Hollenbeck from putting her donkey
to such uses. The Injunction was not
granted, however. She also displayed
notices on the side of her house and
barn informing the world that she
worthless and that the water pipes
were old, second hand, rusty and unfit
for use
Her suit for $4,000 damages is based
on the contention that the land com
pany not only failed TO furnish an
adequate water supply, but that it has
not installed sewerage system and
has not made rolled and maca damized
streets, as it undertook to do. She
purchased her lot at SalaGa beach in
February, 1908. and has erected a home
at cost of $4,000. Her attorney in
the case is James Alva Wait, while
Norman Eisner and H. H. McClosKey
appear for the land company.
Little or nothing has been hoard of
the donkey thus far in the trial. sAll
the testimony has had to do with the
improvements promised in the contract,
and not made, according to Mrs Hol
lenbeck.

She would not go to the telephone
herself, but she sent message to Lo-
gotheti, and he came out in the cool
time of the afternoon. She thought
he had never looked so handsome and
so little exotic since she had known
him.
He was received by Mrs. Rushmore
and Margaret together, and he took
noticeable pains to make himself
agreeable to the mistress Of the house.
At first Margaret was pleased at this;
but when she saw that he was doing
his best to keep Mrs. Rushmore from
leaving the room, as she probably
would have done, Margaret did not
like it She was dying to ask him
questions about his lessons in Tartar,
and especially about his teacher, and
she probably meant to cast her in
Quiries in such a form as would make
it preferable to examine him alone
rather than before Mrs. Rushmore;
but he talked on and on, only pausing
an instant for the good lady's express
sions of interest or approval.
He was telling her what a prime
minister had told an ambassador
about the pope, when Margaret rose
rather abruptly.
Tn awfully sorry" she said TO Mrs
Rushmore, by way of apology. but
really must have a little air. I've not
been out of the house all day"
Mrs Rushmore understood, and was
not hurt, though she was sorry not to
hear more. The dear child" should
go out, by all means. Would Mons.
Logotheti stay to dinner? No? She
was sorry. She had forgotten that
she had letter to write in time for
the afternoon post. So she went of
and left the two together.
Margaret led the way out upon the
lawn. and they sat down on garden
chairs under big elm tree. She said
nothing while she settled herself very
deliberately, avoiding her compan-
ions eyes till she was quite ready, and
then she suddenly looked at him with
a sort of blank stare that would
have disconnected any one less SUI
perlatively lf-possessed than he was.
