POSTMASTER OVERWORKED
IN HUNT FOR HUSBANDS
San Antonio Man Trise to Tell
Girls Fame Is Not Deserved

SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 3-San Anto-
MOS Dan Cupid, Postmaster John j.
stevens, is back at the Office, after hay
i'm, been confined to his house for d
few days owing to OverWork. Post
master ste ems undertook to write a
letter each of the pretty damsels
who have been implOring him to get
them a nice real thing cowboy as a
partner in life, telling them that he
really can't do anything for them and
that his fame as a matchmaker is un-
deserved. The result of it was par
tai collapse.
How to live down his reputation is
now the biggest problem which has
ever confronted the postmaster, all
the more SO since cowboys seem to be
the main attraction in the matrimonial
market and are to be found only in
th-3e parts. But there is no doubt that
as a promoter of cowboy marriages he
is great success. An Alameda mai
den, who wrote some time a-o, has
written again, this time asking that
the cowboys be called off, no fewer than
$50 having been heard from. She is
young, pre- ty and petite and has
something like a million to share with
the right man, whom Jhe says she has
found. Among the recent applicants
for cowboy husbands are Miss Marie
Hammond of st. Louis, Mo, and Miss
Evelyn Peart of Milwaukee, Wis.

WOULD AVOID TRANSFER
OF STOCK TO TRUSTEE
Officials of the All Night and Day
Bank Fight to Retain
Control

Not desiring to obey the order of
Judge Conrey of the superior court to
transfer 1855 shares of stock ON their
bank books OF Hugh Blue, trustee, Off
GERS of the All Night and Day bank are
making every effort to avoid it.
They asked the court to appoint an
officer to hold the stock pending an ap-
peal, and when that motion was de-
MED they requested a stay of eXecu-
ton of the judgment pending appeal,
only to be again denied.
Now they want the county clerk to
act as the custodian of the stock, or,
in event of his refusal, to have another
person appointed by the court to do so.
They have filed a notice of their
appeal, together with a motion for a
new trial
They now are in contempt of court
for not having transferred the stock
by Tuesday, as ordered by the court,
but no action has been taken by the
tribunal in that matter
The suit grew out of loans which the
bank, its president, Newton ]. Skinner,
and its secretary, W. J. Conner, con-
tracted for $4,000 pledging 1855 shares
of stock to insure their payment.
When payment was not made in time,
however, the stock was sold by order
of the court at public auction, and was
purchased in Blues name by l.. c.
Brand. Blue asked for the transfer of
the stock to his name on the bank $
books, and was refused. because of
alleged claims to it by others.
AS the 1855 shares represent more
than one-half the banks stock control
of the institution goes with them.

CORPORATIONS FAIL TO
REDUCE ASSESSMENTS
City Assessor Gives Out Figures
Agreed on by Board of
Equalization

Figures announced yesterday by City
Assessor Mallard show that the re-
duction made by the board of equal
ization this year is less than that made
by any previous board at any time in
the city's history. COrpOrl tiOns did
not get reductions on their franchise
assessments, as Las been the case every
year before, hen corporation tools sat
in the city council. The total reduc-
ton made by the board was $4,174,HO
and that amount includes $2,500OO0 cut
from the assessment of tie Pacific
Electric because of a purely clerical
error in making the assessment.
City Assessor Mallard had figured
the franchise of the Pacific Electric
on the basis of a $20OOO,000 stock is
sue and he took this figure from the
statement sent out by the auditor OF
the company. But it was proved be-
yond doubt that the stock issue Of the
Pacific Electric was only 100000 900 and
Mallard agreed to the reduction of 81
5O0. 900 from the assessment.
With this reduction included the per-
eonal property reduction figures show
a total of $S,516,170; real estate, S5b9'
Sl5, and Improvements, $2S8,1S5.
Last year the council that preceded
the one now in office reduced the as
sessment nearly $IO00OOO, most OF 1t
cut from the franchises of corpora
tions.
The assessment roll shows about
S31O O00. 900 in real estate and improve
ments. and the personal property tax
is about $4,000, 900. With the reduc-
tions made by the board of equaliza-
ton the city will have about $3.50,
600 900 on which to collect taxes, an
increase of 100000 over last year.

COMMISSION ON MUSIC
ASKS ADDITIONAL FUNDS
Members Say $4,000 for NUM-
CipaI Band Not Sufficient

If they cannot have more than $780,
coo to spend for municipal band this
year the members of the music COM
mission do not want anything. They
said so to the budget committee yes
terday. They feel that it is hardly
worth the effort to try to MAINTAIN a
municipal band with only two concerts
week for only q part of the year,
as was done last year. The music
commission has asked for $4,000 and
the commissioners suggested yesterday
of $25,00O, but would not be willing to
give their time with any less.
Only $4,000 was allowed in the
budget last year for the municipal
band and that was considered. only a
starter. The commissioners prefer to
wait until the city feels it is in a po-
sition to make unicipal music worth
while rather than do it half way.
1t was SHOWN to the budget COM
mittee yesterday that an appropria-
tion will have to be madS to pay the
interest on about S4,000,000 additional
bonds for the present fiscal year. In
addition to the $1.600,0OO aqueduct
bonds that are contracted for to be
taken by the syndicate, City Attorney
Hewitt told the committee it could
reasonably expect that $1,000 900 harbor
bonds and $1,000,000 power bonds would
sold.
Councilman Washburn, chairman of
the committee, said that if the bond
market is in good shape this fall it is
the intention of the council to sell all
the bonds possible.
