Attorney General of Kentucky
Solves Problem of Dealing
With Southern Pacific
Especial Dispatch to The CALI

LOUISVILLE, Ky, April 1:.-Attor-
ney General Breathitt has notified the
state auditor that he had arrived
at satisfactory plan for the assess
ment of the Southern Pacific railroad
company. which is incorporated and
has had its official home in Kentucky,
but had no tangible property in the
state.
He rules that the state can only tax
the franchise of the company and has
nothing to do with its tangible prop
erty. He suggests two ways of making
proper franchise assessment First,
that the average price paid for the
company's stock for the year, multi
piled by its number of shares of stock.
franchises; second, preferable plan
would be to capitalize the net earnings
of the corporation and assess it's fran
chise on that valuation.
If the latter course is adopted, as it
probably will be. the assessment will
be on a basis of $350.O0O. 900. Under
the law the board of assessors can
assess the franchise at any figure it
desires over L per cent. The company
is willing to agree to an assessment
of 111a per cent. "This is most pc
culiar situation says the attorney gen.
eral in his opinion. IF the Southern
Pacific has only one rail length OF
track in the state it could be assessed
on its franchises on the same fixed
basis that other railroads in Kentucky

DRUGGIST Held UP
BY ARMED BANDIT
Police Believe That Sacramento
RObber Operated in San
Francisco Stores
Especial Dispatch 10 The CALI

SACRAMENTO, April 17.-The police
believe that the San Francisco drug
store robbers are operating in this
city. Chief of Police Ahern says that
the San Francisco detectives also think
the same holdup men have terrorized
both cities.
The latest of the robberies was short
ly after midnight in the heart of the
business section. A roughly dressed
young fellow entered the Yardley drug
store at Tenth and K streets at 1915
o'clock and asked for a headache pow
der. When Manager Frederick Lewis
returned with this he faced a revolver.
The robber forced him to back behind
the prescription case, where the bandit
took Lewis watch and what money he
had.
AT this point a woman entered the
front door of the store and the bandit
forced Lewis into a back room. He
locked the door and then walked calm
ly out of the front door past the woman
Lewis got out of the room shortly after
ward and notified the police.

SONGS ARE BEST
ON ORPHEUM BILL
Playlets Are Pleasing, but the
might Birds" Divide Hon.
Ors With Nellie Nichols

The bill at the Orpheum this week is
pretty good as a whole, even if the
hit of the performance is carried over
from last week in the medley reviews
with which Miss Nellie Nichols pleases
her audience. In her songs, when
Grandma Was a Girl" as well as in
her imitation of various leading lights
she literally brings down the house,
and she may still be said to be the best
on the program.
Two good headlines are also offered.
Cressy and Dayne appear in THE Wy
oming Whoop," a pleasing little play
let, half whimsical, half pathetic, with
the life in Wyoming so overdrawn as
to make it the more humorous.
Cressy, as the editor of the Wyoming
sheet, with it's wide circulation of 64
copies weekly, is typical frontier
character, and Miss Dayne, as an ac-
tress sfdetracked for lack of funds in
the town on the plains. sustains a
character in which shrewdness, dry
humor and sadness are blended The
wild shooting, and the final shot that
puts the editors enemy out of the way,
add the necessary western flavor
Another good turn is provided by
Gus Edwards Might Birds" in which
Miss Nellie Brewster stars, and sings
II Won't Be Home to Dinner" ''By the
Light of the Silvery Moon" and
Birdie" with a chorus and attractive
scenic settings. The last of the three
songs, with the chorus representing
birds perched saucily on telegraph
wires, is one of the best numbers on
the bill.
Miss Gladys Lockwood and Paul Mac
Carty in THE Pianophiends" were
fair, but The Fools Errand," while
laughable and amusing, falls a little
below the average. The latter is pre-
sented by the Lancton Lucier COM
pany, assisted by Theodore DAILY
The motion pictures of Market street
before the fire created a storm of ap-
pfause, as all the old landmarks from
Valencia street to the ferry came again
into view.
The Picquays in their clever aero
batic stunt, "Huckins' Run" and THE
Dancing Bugs" were all carried over
from last week. During the rest of
the week the motion pictures will
show Roosevelt and his party on their
famous African hunting trip.

In the absence of the reputed head
liner Thomas c. Leary and his daugh-

ARMY OF PLEASURE
SEEKERS TAKE IDORA
Great Crowd Applauds Ferullo
and His Band

From the time the gates of Idora
park, Oakland, were thrown open at
10 o'clock yesterday morning, to late
in the evening, the crowds swarmed
In, until one wondered how the park
could accommodate the army of pleasure
seekers. On opening day, two weeks
ago. the attendance surpassed all
previous records, when $4,000 people
were entertained. Yesterdays crowd
bettered this record by over 1000, and
from present indications this high mark
will shortly be passed.
They were at Idora yesterday in all
sorts and sizes, the old folks and the
children, the pretty girls and the col
lege youths, and it is safe to say that
all enjoyed themselves to the utmost
for 1T was gay and care free crowd
that made merry at the popular resort.
1t was Ferullo and his superb band
which received the major part of at
tention and praise. Seats in the vicin-
ity of the stand We're at a premium.
and many thousands were content to
stand in the shade of the big willows
or sit on the grass while the famous
Italian band played. The solos the
classic selections and the popular airs
each received seemingly equal ap-
plause, and it was a hard matter to
tell what kind of music was most in
favor. The applause which greeted the
beautiful Spanish serenade La Pa
Iona" was tremendous, and FerulIo
was forced to render encore after
encore.
Special nights of music will again
be the feature during the entire week.
This evening dances and preludes will
be rendered Tomorrow the music lovers
will be treated to the works of the
French composers. Popular and rag
time will hold sway on Wednesday.
For Thursday, grand opera, old and
new, will be the theme. The regular
classical program will be played Fri
day evening, and Saturday patrons will
hear the music of all nations
