MAN FOUND IN DRUNKEN
STUPOR; FAMILY STARVING
Money Taken from Him Given to
Wife and Children
With tear-stained cheeks, pretty 16
--year-old Julia Schultz applied In Judge
SummertlcM's court yesterday for a
warrant for the arrest of her father,
A. A. Schultz, on a charge of falling
to provide for her sick mother and
four little brothers and sisters.
Constable Charles Benjamin found
Schultz in a drunken stupor on the
floor of a little room at 4923 State
street, where the poverty-stricken
family lives. The children and mother
were In a starving condition.
Benjamin, on a search of the man's
clothes, found $105 In greenbacks, which
the drunken husband and father had
conceited from his wife and children.
Tossing the money to them the offi
cer handcuffed his prisoner and took
him to jail.
Returning to the home a few hours
later Benjamin found the family had
iiieiuiiy suicken the room with gro
ceries mihl meat! and were devouring
the first iquare meal they had been
privileged to eat In months. The chll
rlren say their father sold his horse
and wagon six months ago and has
been busy drinking up the proceeds
ever since while they went without
the nedbaaltlei of life.

Mack she attempted to kill herself by
drinking chloroform. She has been ar

LOS ANGELES HERALD
GUM SHOE MAN TO
LAND TAX DODGERS
State Controller Nye Tired of
Chasing Delinquents at
Long Range
WARING IS HIRED FOR THE JOB
Law Governing Inheritance Duty
Develops Knotty Problems
for Courts to Solve
Tlfed of chasing the elusive inheri
tance tax at long range. State Con
troller isye has hired a legal ilejtta to
investigate back taxes on Inheritances.
He Is Robert Waring of Sacramento,
whose Investigations during the past
two weeks resulted In the filing of
seven petitions In the superior court
yesterday to compel legatees to show
cause why they should not pay the tax
as required by the stnte law.
Five legatees of the John J. Charnock
estate had individual petitions filed
against them yesterday by County
Treasurer John Hunt. The petitions
are against Lillian Charnock Price,
Constance Ruth Drumm, Laura E.
Charnock, Matthew Snow Charnock
and Oeorge B. Charnock, all heirs to
the groat wealth of John J. Charnock,
a portion of which Is sought to enrich
the state's exchequer.
STOLL CASE UP
Petitions were also filed for the ap
pearance of Verona Stoll to show cause
why she should not pay the inheritance
tax on a large estate left her by the
late Andrew Stoll, and an inheritance
tax is sought on the Bryson estate,
which has been formed into a corpora
tion of the same name, controlling the
Bryson block and other property.
The movement Is new in this end of
the state and has nothing to do with
estates which are probated in the su
perior court in the regular way. War
ing Is seeking to compel payment of
the tax by persons who have had prop
erty deeded to them by the owner
where the latter anticipated death and
sought to avoid the probate court.
It Is alleged by the county treasurer
on behalf of the state that the property
left by John J. Charnock to those
named in the petitions filed yesterday,
is liable to the inheritance tax in spite
of the deceased deeding his property to
his heirs previous to his death, so it Is
claimed.
DEATH NOT ISSCE
It matters not to the state whether
the transfer of property is before or
after death. It comes under the Inheri
tance tax law, according to Waring,
and the investigations now in progress
promise a wide and somewhat startling
scope.
The Andrew Stoll estate is said to
have been deeded to Verona Stoll before
the latter's death, and on this ground
the county is seeking to collect the tax.-
The Bryson estate escaped the tax, it
Is claimed, by the formation of a cor
poration of the heirs, but it Is alleged
that the property cannot dodge the tax
by this method.
"The filing of the petitions," said
Waring yesterday, "is to set forth in
substance the inheritance tax law in
each county. It is a county treasurer's
duty to begin such actions, and the
state controller's office has general su
pervision of the work, the state co
operating with each county, as provided
at the last legislature.
NOT IMMUNE
"Because there is no probate of in
heritances which are deeded this does
not make them immune from the tax,
provided they were deeded in anticipa
tion of the death of the owner. The tax
is applicable also where the deed does
not take effect until after the death of
the owner. •
• "There are many evasions of the in
heritance tax, but in most cases the
deeding of property Is done to avoid the
expense of admitting wills to probate.
Another method is the formation of
estate corporations where we have no
record of the stock assigned in them.
"The law provides a severe penalty
for the non-payment of the tax, and
where it has not been paid for three or
four years about half the estate is
taken by the state, 10 per cent a year
being added for delayed payments,
commencing eighteen months after the
death of the owner of an estate.
"Tho meaning of the statute requiring
payment of the tax is in contention at
present on the question of deeds made
in contemplation of death, and the su
preme court? of the state has not yet
decided the issue. There has been
much conflict over the law, and where
property has been deeded to a corpora
tion instead of direct to the heirs the
question has been raised as to whether
the corporation is not liable to the
highest rate of the graded inheritance
tax. This point is also before the su
preme court and has not yet been de
cided."

FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 13, 1010
APPOINTED CHIEF OF
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
ELEY, MADE FIRE CHIEF,
IN TROUBLE ALREADY
Elected After Three Ballots, but
First Appearance Will
Be on Carpet
After three ballots by the fire com
mission yesterday, Capt. A. J. Eley of
engine company No. 4 was elected
chief of the fire department. Three
candidates were placed In nomination
by three commissioners. Hawley nom
inated Eley, Molony nominated Richard
Shute, formerly of San Diego, and
Williamson nominated John G. Todd,
the acting chief. The first ballot re
sulted in two for Eley, two for Todd
and one for Shute. The second ballot
was the same, but the third ballot gave
three for Eley and one each for Todd
and Shute.
As Todd has been a pretty good sort
of person since he has been acting
chief, the commission did not like to
throw him down too hard, so there is
a strong suspicion that the real action
for chief was framed up in the execu
tive session, and the three ballots were
taken just to let Todd down easy.
Eley's Jump into the chieftainship
was meteoric. A month ago he was
very sick, and it was not expected he
would again return to the department.
But he did, and as he was the only
eligfble on the civil service list for bat
talion chief, he was temporarily ap
pointed to that place by the fire com
mission two weeks ago. Yesterday he
took the final step up and became the
head of the department.
The first official appearance of the
new chief before the commission will
be "on the carpet," for he wm cited to
appear at the next meeting of the
commission to show why he doesn't
pay his bills.
Mrs. Florence L. LeCount, widow of
Ira L. LeCount, a former employe of
the fire department, submitted a state
ment to the commission yesterday in
which she claimed that Eley owed her
husband's estate $92.25, with interest,
as the balance of a note due February
1, lUO7. The note was given for s>:ioo
Eley borrowed from her husband, and
he has been paying it off in small In
stallments. Mrs. LeCount says he has
paid nothing recently, although she
has used every effort to collect the
money.
SALT LAKE LINE MAY BE
OPENED THROUGH JULY 1
New Road in Nevada to Be Above
the-Flood Mark
The Salt Lake Railroad company evi
dently expects to have its road com
pleted through Meadow wash in time
for through traffic by July 1, as the
road has begun to solicit traffic for
July and has prepared to open the line
to Salt Lake City not later than that
date. It was closed by Hoods last win
ter.
C, D. Pike, city passenger agent, is
now looking after eaatboaund business
here. After the road was put out of
commission Mr. Pike took up other
employment for a time. It has not
been determined whether the road will
put on three transcontinental trains,
which were running at the time of the
fioods. The Los Angeles Limited and
the Overland, however, are expected to
be resumed, although there is still some
question about, the latter train.
The reconstruction work is being
pushed as rapidly as possible, and the
Meadow valley "high" line is fast near
ing completion. This line is built above
the high-water mark, and will insure
permanency when the road resumes.
WOODMEN GOING TO SAN PEDRO
La Fiesta camp, Woodmen of the
World, will go to San Pedro tonight
to initiate a large class of candidates
for the harbor camp. The officers and
uniformed degree team of La Fiesta
camp will exemplify the protection and
Joseph degrees. An orchestra and a
quartet will accompany the party and
San Pedro will also afford entertain
ment. Special cars will leave Pacific
Electric depot at 7 o'clock, and upon
arrival at San Pedro a parade will be
formed and all will march through the

HANDLEY IS AFTER
M'LACHLAN'S JOB
Professor at Occidental College
Announces Candidacy
for Congress
IS WELL KNOWN DEMOCRAT
Sets Forth Platform on Which He
Hopes to Be Sent to
Washington
Professor T-orin A. Handley, holding
the chair of philosophy in Occidental
college, and one of the best known
Democrats and orators In Southern
California, last night announced him
self as ,'i candidate for the nomination
to congress from the seventh (Los An
geles) district.
Professor Hnndley's announcement
came as a surprise to many Demo
crats, who have long been urging him
to enter the race, but who recently
had begun to believe he would not be
come a candidate. The pressure be
came so great, however, that Professor
Handley announcod last night he had
decided to run and is confident of his
success.
A. J. ELEY
"Even a number of prominent Re
publicans," said Professor Handley last
night, "have expressed the hope that
I would consent to seek the nomina
tion, and I have been so strongly
urged by Democrats and good govern
ment adherents generally that I be
lieve it is my duty to make the at
tempt. Now that I have entered the
fight I am in it to win, and I pledge
myself to the people of this district to
fulfill my promises and live up to the
platform on which I hope to be
elected."
Professor Handley gave out the fol
lowing statement of his principles and
policies:
HIS PLATFORM
"The great battle of the people today
is to regain control of the government.
The fundamental principles of Ameri
canism have been cast aside in the in
terest of a small class of citizens at
the expense of the whole people. This
power perverting the government has
its ramifications in every direction. In
the house of representatives it is com
monly known as 'Cannonism.'
"Every other question Is subordinate
to the great question whether or not
the government will make good its
promise of 'equality to all and special
privilege to none.' We can begin this
fight for the restoration of American
ism, viz.:
"First, by a sane reduction of the
tariff in the interest of the consumer
and thereby a reduction in the pres
ent high cost of living.
"Second, by establishing a line of
steamships on the Pacific*coast owned
or controlled by the federal govern
ment; also the improvement of har
bors and waterways in general, and
thus by honest competition relieve the
people from the present rate robbery.
"Third, by a conservation of the na
tural resources of the nation as a her
itage to all the people.
"Fourth, by putting into the hands
of the people the weapons of aggres
sion and defense, viz., initiative, ref
erendum, recall and direct primary for
all elective offices within the state.
"Fifth, by honesty, efficiency and
economy in the administration of pub
lic affairs and a consequent reduction
in the present burdensome tax rate."
WHO HE IS
Professor Handley was born at
Franklin, Ind., and was educated in
the grammar schools of Johnson coun
ty, Indiana, after which he graduated
at Hanover college and Princeton in
the classes of theology and philosophy,
graduating also in constitutional law
and jurisprudence. From Princeton he
went to Emporla college, where he
taught philosophy and constitutional
law.
At Hanover he represented the col
lege in many state oratorical contests.

TRUCE IN BRUNNER
CASE SHORT LIVED
Peace Looms When Daughter
Gets Busy, but Mother's
Terms End It Quickh,
NEW FIGHT WILL BE HOTTER
Plaintiff Demanded About Two-
Thirds of Estate Valued
at $200,000
An attempt to compromise th#
tnng-led !iffnir= o f the Brunnor f.nniiy
in the superior court yesterday, where
Mrs. Louisa Brunner is endeavoring to
secure a decree of divorce from Her
man Brunner and $1000 a month ali
mony, including the property which,
she lias in her own name, failed dis
mally because Mrs. Brunnor wanted
to retain about two-thirds of the $200,
--000 estate. The family war was then
continued with as much vindictivenesa
as ever.
Julia Brunner, a Stanford student,
and the most popular girl in the large
family,, had arrived from the north to
testify as a witness for her father. Sho
verified considerable of the testimony
regarding his treatment by Mrs. Brun
ner and her favorite daughter, Teresa,
whom other members of the family de
clare Is responsible for the quarrel be
tween the parents.
After giving her testimony in a man
ner which damaged both parents as
little as possible, Julia Brunner circu
lated among the retainers on both sides
in the battle. Those supporting her
futher sat in one side of the court room
and those supporting- her mother rested
on the other side, from which points
of vantage they disdainfully ignored
each other.
Julia Rrunner is large and good na
tured and gave the members on each
side in the fracas a "good talking to."
The result was a warmer aspect in tha
atmosphere of the court room, which
began to thaw visibly. The attorneys
grew less rigid on their legal points
and finally Judge Church declared a
receSH to give the parents a chance to
talk terms.
Brunner was willing to fix things so
that eaoh of his daughters would bo
entitled to an equal share of the prop
erty. If he drew $100 a month he was
willing that his wife should have tho
same amount, and so on up to as
large a monthly stipend as the estate
would stand.
It Is claimed, however, that Mrs.
Brunner wanted more than half the
property, and this Brunner refused on
the ground that besides getting the
same share as the other children, Ter
esa, the mother's favorite, would,
through Mrs. Brunner, secure a much
larger snare than the other children.
Mrs. Brunnor and Teresa would not
budge an inch on the proposition, it ia
said and the white flag was lowered
and the black flag run up again. It is
claimed that what has gone before in
the testimony will be mild compared
with what is to come since the fight
has been renev.-ed.
ANOTHER CITY ORDINANCE
IS OBJECT OF ATTACK
What appears to be another attack
on the validity of the city ordinances
was begun yesterday when W. A.
Blackwell, manager of the Mammoth
shoe store at 519 South Broadway
pleaded not guilty before Police Judge
Chambers to a charge of obstructing
the sidewalk in front of his establish
ment by shoe displays. The case was
set for trial before a jury May 29-at
B <la CckweH was represented in court
by "Tim" Coakley, who recently se
cured a judgment which rendered the
ordinance levying a tax on all team
sters, expressmen and truckmen In
valid and unconstitutional.
