TEAM|NC TAX LAW
VOID, ARGUES TIM
Attorney CoakIey for TeamsterS'
Association Fighting Levy
of SO a Quarter
CHAMBERS WILL RULE TODAY
Violation of City Charter Is Con-
tention Made in Ar
gument

That the city license ordinance regu-
lating the imposing of taxes on the
"callings and occupations of persons"
Is illegal, invalid and unconstitutional,
and in direct violation of section of
the Los Angeles city charter, is the
contention of Attorney Tim" Coax
ley, who is retained as counsel for the
Teamsters association, numbering
about $50 teamsters engaged in the
business of hiring out by the day, week
or month, teams and drivers.
Whether the ordinance will be con-
sidered invalid and imperative depends
on a decision to be rendered this morn
ing by Police Judge Chambers in the
case of w. L. Stephens, a teamster
who is charged with operating a team
ing and trucking business without
paying quarterly tax of SO on each
team.
The case was argued yesterday and
was taken under advisement until this
morning.
THE SECTION
The ordinance under which Stephens
was arrested read as follows: For
every person, firm or corporation run
ming any cart, dray, wagon, or We
hicle for the delivery of freight or
goods, for hire, SO for each cart, dray,
wagon or vehicle shall be designated
by number to be furnished by the
city clerk as hereinbefore provided:
and provided further that this Sec
tion shall not apply to any person,
firm or corporation running any cart,
dray, wagon or vehicle exclusively for
the hauling of dirt, sand or gravel"
Attorney Coakley in his argument
yesterday contended that in the first
place teamsters, those who lease their
wagons with drivers, are not engaged
i'm the business of delivering freight
or goods for hire, and that therefore
they are not subject to the quarterly
tax.
Attorney Coakley also contended that
the ordinance Is illegal, as 1t expressly
violates section of the city charter
which provides that no discrimina-
tion shall be made between people in
the same line of business except by
proportioning the tax as to the amount
of business done.
NEW ORDINANCE
The new ordinance has been enacted
and will be put into effect May 26 un-
less it is defeated by a referendum pc
tition which is being circulated by
men engaged in the express and trans
fer business, who claim that the tax
imposed is exorbitan-. In many cases
the tax amounts to a large sum. The
new ordinance remedies the old one
to a certain extent by striking out the
clause which discriminates between
those doing an express business and
those engaged in the hauling of dirt
gravel and sand. The words. whether
as common carriers or otherwise" are
included so as to include truckmen.
Notwithstanding the changes made,
Attorney Coakley still contends that
the ordinance will be in violation of
the charter in that it does not impose
a graduated tax as in other lines of
business.

How to Tell Whether Skin Affec-

How to Tell Whether 8 Skin Ahec-
 ton is an Inherited Blood Disease
 or Not.
 Sometimes 1t is hard to determine whether a skin affection is a sign or blood disorder or simply form or eczema Even physicians are often puzzled in their diagnosis. The best way for any one afflicted is to go to Jennie Hamilton's Pharmacy, or any good druggist who handles pure drugs and obtain 50 cents worth of poslam. Apply this. and if the itching stops at once and the trouble Is cured in a few days it may be set down as hav- ing been eczema, as this is the way poslam acts in the worst cases of ecze- ma, and in curing acne, herpes, blotches. letter, piles. salt rheum. rash, barber's and other forms of itch, scaly scalp, and all surface skin affections.
 Any one who will write to the Emer- gency Laboratories. No. g West Twen- ty-fifth Street, New York, can secure. by mail free of charge, a supply suffi- ctent to cure a small eczema surface or clear a complexion overnight and remove pimples in twenty-four hours.

POSTMASTER GENERAL is

Accused of Attempting to Pre-
vent Recommendation

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Representa :
tive Lindbergh of Minnesota, a repab-
lican insurgent, aroused by the refusal
of Postmaster General Hitchcock to
accept his recommendations for post
office appointment, has written the lat
ter a letter in which he calls him a
political dictator and denounces him
for an alleged effort to defeat Lind
berghs denomination.
Lindbergh charges in substance that
Postmaster General Hitchcock has en-
tered into an alliance with the stall
warts Of the sixth Minnesota district TO
prevent his denomination.
The Minnesota congressman says
that there has been an effort TO make
it appear that he does not favor Presi-
dent Taft's legislative program. He
denies this in his letter and says that
he ''favors the presidents progressive
ideas" but does not trust with i'm
plicit confidence Cannon's and Aldrich S

Taft VIII Not Go

Precedent Established by
Jefferson in Trial of
Arron Burr

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-While
the ger-Pinchot investigat-
ing committee is wrangling over
the probability of calling the
president as a witness, it has been
definitely decided in other quarters
that President Taft will not ap-
pear, and there is precedent for 1T
established by Thomas Jefferson
when he refused to appear at the
trial Of Aaron Burr for treason on
the summons of Chief Justice Mar
shall.
The charges of Pinchot and the
refutations of Ballinger provoke
no comment by the president. 1t
is recognized that Pinchots state
ment before the committee was an
elaboration of charges which have
been published ever since the con-
troversy between the secretary of
the interior and the chief forester
began.
In the meantime the president
is remaining silent. There is little
likelihood that he will make a
statement to the committee.

STOCKTON, Feb. 2s.-The battle for
the big estate of George Washington
Trahern. the San joaquin county pio-
neer, took a sensational turn today
when it was charged that he had been
guilty of bigamy in his second mar
riage. This charge was contained in
the amended complaint of Mrs. Zuleika
J. Baldwin, who claims that she is Ira
hern's daughter and sole heir to his
100000 estate
Mrs. Baldwin has begun proceedings
to have the court set aside a deed ex-
ecuted by Trahern just before his
death, in which he transferred his
property to his wife, Henrietta B. Ira
hern. Her original complaint was
found defective so she renewed her
contest today with more sensational
allegations.
Her complaint sets forth that Ira
hern's first wife was Josefa Galvas
Mrs. Baldwin alleges that she is the
only surviving child born of this union
She then charges that Trahern married
the present Mrs. Trahern while his first
wife was living, although there had
been no divorce.
The Trahern estate consists of ranch
property of more than 5000 acres II
was transferred to Mrs. Trahern last
August, a few days before the pioneers
death. He was injured in runaway
accident and upon learning that he
could not survive decided the property

the time. Mrs. Baldwin charges that
undue influence was used to force him
to sign the deed.
