 Il don't understand how the amount was so much, but it is there on the books against me and 1 cant refute them. 1 took it in small sums at a time, $200 to $500. didn't realize how much l had taken-but let by zones be bygones. It only remains for me to make amends.

 Sons Make New Decision.
 Bassett's sons said that they would abandon their plans for entering the ministry and enter some more lucra- tive work in order to help their father make his shortage good.
 Carl Bassett, now a student at Shurtleff college, had intended to be- come a Baptist preacher. Edward, year his senior, has been studying at the Moody institute in Chicago to be- come a missionary.
 Whether Bassett will be prosecuted has not yet been determined, but his friends are confident that there will be no procedure against him. He was in conference nearly two hours with George and Harry Lewis, president and treasurer of the glass company. and his sons said the conference was to determine whether there should be prosecution. The Lewis brothers de clined to discuss it, or to say whether any further discrepancies had beer found in the books, on which account ants still are at work.

the messages into English that even the
sahib himself had to recognize as evi-
dence of the bogus nature of the imm1-
grant'f claims.
AMERICA FOR CHINESE
The removal of Graham makes this
coaching a simple matter. particularly
as the contractor who feeds the de-
tanned immigrants is Fong Wing, a Ce-
Chinese attorney, made speciality Of
landing Chinese.
The contract for feeding the immi-
grants was awarded to Fong by North.
Fong employs Chinese help and thus
the Chinese exclusion act which was
passed for the protection of American
labor, in its operation furnishes labor
for Celestial cooks and walters and
profit for Chinese merchant.
This is the situation up TO date. The
four inspectors who could spot crooked
credentials almost by intuition are now
holding down watchmen's jobs; DR..
Gardner, who has helped administer
the exclusion act since its birth, is un-
der charges; LorenZen, whose expert
ence would be invaluable in handling
the big crowd of immigrants coming
on the Manchuria, is on an overland
train playing policeman to an unde-
sirable allen, and Graham, whose
watchfulness prevented irregular COM
munication between the Chinese held
on Angel island and those outside in
terested in getting them landed, is
yawning his head off on the Pacific
Mail wharf. Secretary Nagel is headed
the other way and the Sahib Hart
North North is the idol of the hour in
Chinatown.

1t would appear that the time had
been well selected to make Martin see
the folly of resistance to the official
will. The chiefs friend on the COM
mission. O'Connell. is away Commits
sioner Spiro is favorable to the chief,
but on vote he would in all probabil-
ity find himself minority. Sullivan is
known to be hostile to Martin. The
deciding vote would be cast by Hender-
son. 1t is generally understood that
Henderson has no fight with Martin.
On the other hand, he is very close to
Flannery and the mayor. On show
down it is believed that Henderson, If
urged by the mayor, would cast his
vote against Martin.
HINDERED ADMINISTRATION
The opposition to Martin contends
that he has been a drawback to the
administration, that he has drawn
sharp criticisms almost from the day
he entered the front Office. 1t is urged
upon him that out of a sense of loyalty
to Mccarthy he ought to resign.
Friends of the chief, while persuading
him that his own best interests lie in
his resignation, declare that he has
been the victim of q cabal that claims
executive influence. 1t is charged that
Flannery and Jerome Bassity have been
particularly hostile.
Martin, ii is asserted, was one of Nc
Carthy's most earnest supporters at the
last election. He raised a campaign
fund of handsome proportions. calling
into play his strong influences with
some of the wealthiest businessmen of
the city.
With Martins retirement gossip has
it that Captain Eugene Wall and Ser
geant ]. J. OMeara would be most
likely aspirants for the place Wall is
captain of detectives. He served with
Martin in the central station and stands
high with the administration. O'Meara
was clerk to Chief Cook and is thor
ough familiar with the affairs and
duties of the big office. Should Wall
be content TO remain as captain oi
detectives it is likely that O'Meara
would be strong contender for tbs
chiefs uniform.
The elimination of Martin would
manifest itself first through an appli-
cation for restoration to the pension
list Martin could then retire and
draw a monthly pension of 500.

S. P. Will ABSORB
STATE WHARF TOLL

Through the efforts of the traffic bu-
reau of the Merchants exchange, orig
inally instituted by the Manufacturers
and Jobbers' association, the Southern
Pacific has lifted an important tax on
the commerce of San Francisco AS
published in The Call Wednesday,. the
Southern Pacific on September IA began
to absorb the state toll on all interstate
commerce passing over the state
wharves along the San Francisco water
front which was being transported by
the railroad.
Yesterday it was announced by the
manager of the traffic bureau, William
R. Wheeler, that on October 22 the
Southern Pacific would arrange to abb
sorb state toll on all interstate traffic
FIGHT LONG ONE
For more than four years the ship
pers of this city have been fighting in
the courts and before the interstate
commerce commission to have this toll
absorbed by the railroads. The first
victory was the establishment of the
fliegality of the charge exacted by the
transportation companies on freight
moving up the coast and coming into
San Francisco without passing over the
state wharves
The interstate commerce commission
ruled in favor of the Slippers in this
instance, and since that time the South
ern Pacific has absorbed the state toll
on all transcontinental traffic original
ing east of Ell Paso and ogden that was
brought into San Francisco via the
coast lines.
Last May the matter of the absorp-
ton of the state toll upon the compile
ton of the Dumbarton cutoff and the
bringing into this city of freight via
the cutoff, was taken up between the
bureau and the Southern Pacific. 1t was
announced by the Southern Pacific that
the toll, cents per ton, on freight
passing over the fcutoff would not be
charged, but that in cases where freight
had to be hauled across the bay and
passed over the wharves, the railroad
would undoubtedly collect it if it were
assessed to the railroad. The traffic
bureau then requested that the South
ern Pacific absorb all state tolls upon
the completion of the Dumbarton cut
off, calling attention to the fast that
the charge was incidental to trans
portation, as are the Missouri river
bridge tolls. which are absorbed by the
railroads.
VICTORY FOR SHIPPERS
The announcement of yesterday thai
state tolls on all interstate traffic would
be absorbed on and after October %
proclaims a distinct victory for the
shippers 1t means that all freigh,
coming into San Francisco over the
lines of the Southern Pacific, both in
| terstate and intrastate, will come to the
shipper free Of toll charges 1t in
cludes all eastern freight and freight
from Oregon south OF. Portland. The
Santa Fe has absorbed the state toll
] for several years.
