WALTER WEBB'S NERVE
MINUS HIS MUSTACHE HE RE
TURNS HERE
His Opportunities for Distinguishing
Himself Gone—Subscription to
Send Him to Kamchatka.
Walter L. Webb, he of the Iron hand and
brazen nerve, ex-schOol board boss, ex
seducer of school teachers, who but a few
weeks ago promised to go thundering down
to posterity as the Republican boss of the
Ninth ward, but whose career waa set on
Its posterior as he was thundering down
elsewhere, has returned to the city. He
no longer has the golden opportunity for
coveting the salary of a poor janitor or the
virtue of an unsophisticated girl, but he
has brought his evil presence back to Los
Angeles Just the same. People pass and
faces change rapidly ln the kaletdescope of
life, and the face ot Webb ts no exception
to the rule, for he has wafted into the
city minus his long mustache. Possibly
since the exposure of his methods he found
no necessity to gnaw anything, so he part
ed with bis hirsute appendage. He spoke
to such of his acquaintances as would
speak to him, but did not state details re
garding the purpose of his visit or how
long he Intends to remain. He Is said to
have expressed a desire some time ago of
going to the Philippine Islands, but the
scholastic affairs of Manila do not as yet
demand his "Iron hand." If Webb will
promise to be shipped to Kamchatka or
Madrid no doubt there are enough philan
thropists here to pay the freight.
INTERNAL REVENUE DECISIONS
Recent Rulings on Tobacco, Sugar Re
finers, Wines and Documents
Collector Harrison has received the fol
lowing additional decisions ln regard to In
ternal revenue taxation:
Dealers ln leaf tobacco and manufactur
ers of tobacco or cigars who were not en
gaged ln business last fiscal year arc
required on commencing business to pay
the minimum rate of the special tax, and
when sales during the year reach an
amount requiring payment of the higher
rate they must make return and pay at the
higher rate;
Henry T. Oxnard of the Chlno beet sugar
factory asked for and received a decision
Involving an Interesting point. There Is
a tax levied on the gross annual receipts
ln excess of lioS.OOO of persons, firms or
corporations refining sugar. Mr. Oxnard
claims that he is not, properly speaking,
a refiner: he does not buy crude Sugar or
syrups with the purpose of refining them.
He admits tha.t he Is a manufacturer on
whom this tax is not Imposed, but claims
that It Is through a part of his manufactur
ing process that the sugar comes out all
refined. This Is not the case with cane
sugar. The commissioner rules his points
well taken, and decides that he is not sub
ject to the tax.
■ Letters of administration, letters testa
mentary and letters of guardianship do not
require stamps; nor do petitions for ap
pointment of administrator, executor or
guardian. Bonds of administrators, exec
utors and guardians must be stamped. No
stamps are required for certificates of tax
sales for unpaid taxes, nor for certificates
of redemption from sale.
The tax on deeds of conveyance Is com
puted on the true value of the property.
On deeds conveying a specified interest In
property, as one-third or one-half, the
tax Is levied on the actual value of the
specified Interest. A case Is cited where an
undivided one-eighth Interest ln property
whose true value Is 14000 was sold for the
nominal consideration of $1. The deed
should be stamped on a basis of (500, the
value of the Interest conveyed.
All deeds over 1100 In value must be
stamped; a gift deed from husband to wife
or wife to husband Is not exempt.
Baggagemen and other local operators
for the delivery of packages, baggage, etc.,
need not give bills of lading, which are tax
able, and the receipts which they give are
untaxable.
The pledge of an Insurance policy to se
cure a loan Is not taxable If the amount
secured Is less than SlOOO; If the loan ex
ceeds $1000 It Is taxable as a pledge of per
sonal property.
When a life Insurance policy Is assigned
as collateral security for a loan exceed
ing 11000 It should be slamped as a pledge
according to the amount secured and not
on the face value of the policy.
When the tax Is paid on a general bun
dle of newspapers It Is not necessary to
stamp each paper taken from the original
bundle and delivered at Intermediate
points.
The statement made In yesterday morn
ing's Herald concerning the tax on bottled
wine was not full enough to give a correct
impression. Following is the text of the
decision on this Important point. In the
case of genuine sparkling wines which re
quire certain manipulation before reaching
a finished state, the commissioner has de
cided that stamping may be dispensed with
until the wine has arrived at a marketable
condition, so long as It Is contained in
vaults, cellars or other appropriate places
In the wineries where such wines are treat
ed, and the process of manufacture contin
ues. As soon as the wine Is ln a market
able condition, liability to taxation at
once attaches, and the stamp must be af
fixed.
AFTER A WORLD'S RECORD
W. O. Furman Will Try for It Next
Month
An attempt will soon be made by W. G.
Furman to lower the world's record for
a straightaway mile, flying start, paced.
He will make the trial some time next
month, after the Riverside races, which
take place on the 9th. There Is a fine,
level course of three miles near Monrovia,
and the Intention Is to have Furman,
paced by a sextette, try and lower the rec
ord of 1:27, which Is now held by H. B.
Freeman of Portland, Or. Furman expects
to ride a 120 gear. It will require about a
mile in which to get the machine under
way, another mile ln which to bring It to
a standstill, so the course selected Is about
right ln all ways.
The San Jose wheelmen have annotinced
a bicycle meet September 9, and many of
the crack riders in the state will partici
pate. It will be held under the auspices of
the C. A. C. C. Frits Lacy started training
for this meet yesterday at Athletic park.
Furman will also compete In that meet In
case his attempts to get a match with
flhoemaker fall through. Lacy and Fur
man rode five miles yesterday on the track,
alternating pace, and covered the distance
In 11:58—a 2:24 clip—which is within two
seconds of the world's unpaced record held
by Hackenberger.
"Joe" Stamps returned yesterday from
a vacation at Catalina and resumed train
ing for the Riverside bicycle meet. He
i will take part In the 2:30 class mile and the

brother Fred, who Is camping ln the south
ern part of Oregon ln company with Drs.

ber of commerce on three of the principal
streets In this city Is shown in the accom
panying cut. The fountains have been or
dered through Crane & Co. and should be

merce. Thsse fountains are)to be painted

nished free by the city.
NEWS OP THE RAILWAYS
News Notes and Personal Mention of
Interest
The Santa Fe Is suffering from slight In
terruptions) to traffic resulting from wash
outs on the line near Gallup, New Mexico.
A cloudburst and heavy rain did the work
on Thursday night, carrying away the ap
proaches to a bridge and doing other dam
age. The overland train, which was due
to arrive this morning, will probably no:
get ln until towards noon today. This Is
thought to be the only delay that wflT oc
cur, as the road Is ln perfect shape to take
Immediate care of such difficulties.
The state fair will be held In Sacramento
on September 3rd to 17th. The Southern
Pacific will sell round trip tickets for one
and one-third fares for the occasion.
The Southern Pacific Is building large
warehouses at Whlttier and Los Nletos for
the storage of walnuts.
J. H. Qulgtey, transportation master for
Porter Brothers, the great fruit dealing
firm, is ln the city. Mr. Qulgley was for
some years the local agent for the Burling
ton route.
The Santa Fe will have a warm time ai
Redondo on Sunday. They have employed
a troupe of colored troubadours to enter
tain the visitors.
The Canadian Pacific road, It is thought,
Is still cutting rates and making tremen
dous Inroads on the business of the Ameri
can line. A meeting of general freight
agents Is now being held in Salt Lake to
study the situation.
Terminal Topics, the August Issue of
which la Just out, is a well edited and Il
lustrated monthly published by the Term
inal railway. Among the pictures Is a re
markably well executed half-tone study
of a good-looking young man lighting a
cigar. The modesty of the subject pre
vented the placing of a caption to the pic
ture, but the traveling public will recog
nise the features of T. C. Peck, the gen
eral passenger agent of the road, a man
who has done much to add to the popularity
of the line. The booklet Is full of desira
ble Information and can be had by apply
ing to the agents ot the road.
ARRESTED FOR CRUELTY
Another Charge Thought to Be Behind
the Arrest
David McKay, manager for Gabel the
tailor, was arraigned before Justice Owens
yesterday on a charge of cruelty to animals
and released on $100 ball. There is thought
to be more behind the arrest than is dis
closed ln the complaint, as It Is said that
petty larceny Is the real cause for Mc-
Kay's Incarceration. He was arrested
Wednesday night and locked In the city
prison, no charge being preferred against
him until the following day. There ap
pears to be no doubt but that McKey had
been driving a porr, apparently broken
down horse, whose back was sore and
whose Bones ached with years of toll.
McKay resides at 114 West Fourteenth
street, and is engaged ln erecting a house.
According to the published story concern
ing his arrest, he Is thought by the de
tectives to have been ln the habit of hitch
ing up his sore-backed horse, driving about
the city after dark and carrying away bits
of lumber and shingles, which he could
use ln the construction of his new home.
He had, It was alleged, accumulated a con
siderable pile of lumber by this method.
The reason the more serious charge was
not brought against him, It was alleged,
was because of the Inability of the detec
tives to locate any owners of the lumber
which he Is supposed to have stolen. The
case was set for trial today.

ploy of the Crane company, has received a
letter dated Cavite, July 6th, from G. T.

a detachment of which sailed on the City of

ey. Lelghton describes In a very Interest
ing manner the capture of Guam in the
Ladrones and a number of other incidents

ANOTHER BUNCO GAME
TELEPHONE TAKES THE PLACE
OP THE TAPE
Fitzgerald & Co. at Their Old Tricks.
The Police Haven't Discov
ered Them Yet
For the last two months or so a crowd of
men have been deluding themselves lnio
thinking that they have been making easy
money by playing that old tape game
fraud, or at least a lineal descendant of It.
Fitzgerald & Co., at No. 212% South Spring
street, have been conducting a bucket shop
for months past, and ln the rear of the
plaoe they also operate with quotations on
fictitious stocks. Formerly the fluctuation
of the "stocks" were told by drawing a
piece of tape out of a little brass box. This
method was exposed, and the conductors
forced to close up shop. But the man who
makes his living through the losses of his
fellow men ts of as Ingenious and peculiar
he can give the Artful Dodger cards and
a turn of mind as the heathen Chinee, and
spades when It comes to evading the law.
The latest dodge to lure the dollars of
the sucker is to have the quotations sent
by 'phone. A telephone box Is rigged up,
and a man Is sealed ln front of the 'phone—
which may be a dummy for all the public
knows—while the receiver is fastened to
his ear. At Intervals ha calls off the latest
"quotations" of stocks. Where those fig
ures which decided whether the man who
has bought or sold, looses, come from. Is as
much a mystery as the Identity of the as
sailant of the late William Patterson. The
game goes on just the same, and still there
are plenty of fools found to patronize It.
About a dozen men were playing ffle
game yesterday, but the amount of money
wagered was small. It seems strange the
police have not learned of the game, but
Inasmuch as the new ordinance regarding
gambling has been passed they may
awake from their spring fever reposo
and do some work.
