The Reliance Club Wheelmen
to Oppose the Bicycle
Tax.
WILLING TO CONTRIBUTE.
The Railroad Company Files a
Statement With Assessor
Dalton.
The Reliance Athletic Club, one of the
heeling organizations in the

At the meeting held on Thursday even
commiltee consisting of J. A. Young,
J . E. Whitney and R. J. Boyer was ap
pointed to see the members of the Council
and protest against the passage of the or
dinance.
It was stated at the meeting that there
Would be little difficulty in suppressing the
obnoxious order, as the Mayor, City At
torney and several members of the Council
had intimated that they would not
countenance it should it be made plain
that the wheelmen, as a body, were op
to it.
••It goes without saying," said R. J.
Boyer, "that the wheelmen are opposed to
ordinance almost to a man. In the
first place, it is unconstitutional, and has
been so decided by the Supreme Court of
Illinois.
"The Chicago Board of Aldermen passed
an ordinance taxing bicycles, and the
v.heelmen made a test ca^^e. which, after
being carried to the highest tribunal of the
Mate, was defeated once and for all. We
niight do the same thing here, but I see
no necessity for going far. The ordi
nance gsd beueteatedin the Council, and
I have no doubt will be.
"Not aione is the measure wrong &< re
cards the wheelmen, but it will work a
hardship on other people. Take, for In
stance, livery-stable men. I know of one
who has over 100 vehicles in bis stable, on
each of which he will be asked to pay a
tax of from $2 to $10, averaging, perhaps, $o
each. Should the ordinance be passed it
will simply drive him out of business, for
the electric cars and bicycles have cut into
his business so much now that he finds it
hard to make the stable pay.
"Wheelmen, I find as a rule, do not ob
jet i so much to the amount which it is
proposed to tax them as to the principle
of the thing. The tax is supposed to be

by tht passage of vehicles. Bicycles do no
damage whatever and should not be taxed.
I have no doubt that wheelmen would be
willing to contribute the amount of the
they could be assured that the road
- would be kept in good condition, but
they object to the iaea of a tax outside of
the personal property tax which the As
imposes on them.
"Ther«* is another phase of this matter
which we have discussed and it is this.
P-bould the Oakland City Council tax
es, Aiameda, Berkeley and other
throueh which Oakland wheelmen
in the habit of making tours would
;b!y follow suit, and we would have
to pay double or treble taxes.
"You live in Ak'.meda and would be
asked t.> pay the tax tnere, but as yotfr
. business is in Oakland and your riding
done lure, the tax collector would expect
you to hand in a contribution on this side
c estuary.
.'Another thing to be considered is the
effort which such an ordinance would have

Dining is a benefit to Oakland. No
c of the law will be able to tell
whether a man belongs to Oakland or San
Francisco, and the <c will be
that visiting cyclists will be stopped erery
little while and compelled to tell their lit
tle tale about belonging to Sun Francisco
and being in Oakland on a visit; or. more
still, be told to pay a license or go home.
In either case they will be driven away."
While the large majority of wheelmen
are certainly in favor of righting the ordi
nance to a finish, there is a conservative
element which is advocating the accept
ance of the ordinance provided it can be
modihed to suit thoir views. They think
that to be consistent in their demands for
better streets they should show :t w
ness to pay something toward the desired
end. They say that should the tax be
kept at $2 a year, as is now proro ; ed. they
will oppose the measure, out that all
•wheelmen should be willing t< pay half
that sum toward better thoro nub fares.
Mayor Davie said yesterday that he
was decidedly opposed to the order in its
present form.
" I think the tax altogether too high,"
he said, "and shall oppose it until it is
properly amended, so as not to be unduly
burdensome to the owners ol vehicle's
drawn by horses, as well as the mounts of
cyclists.
Filed Its Statement.
The Southern Pacific Company, Central
Pacific Company and South Pacific Coast
Railroad Company filed their long-delayed
statements of real and personal property
with Assessor Dalton yesterday, in which
they confess to liability for assessment on
1965,187.
Accompanying the statement was a
courteous letter from E. B. Ryan, in which
the writer, for the companies, stated that
the corporations would be satisfied if
treated in the same manner as other
parties are, and requesting Mr. Dalton to
call for any further information that he
may Oesire.
Mr. Dalton took a casual glance through
the bulky mass of documents, and then
tossed them aside with the remark that
the railroad company might be satined
with them, but he was not by any means.
"1 shall ask for a more complete state
ment than I find here," he said, "and
shall not accept their figures by any
means.
"These figures are simply those given
and accepted in 1894, but they will not do
for me.
• "In the first place they are not com
plete, Here is a Ist of many thousands of
dollars' worth of machinery and supplies
which they have sent in without any valu
ation. They must know what they are
worth, and while they express confidence
in mv ability to place a proper valuation
on them [do not propose to do so unless
compelled. I shall do just as they usk and
treat the corporation in the same manner
bare treated other parties, and that
: •ah :t substantial raise in their
I v. herpver I think it is just.
"Now here are a few of their figures
which I shall take exception to. They
have put in a lot on Fourteenth and
Franki:n struts at f84.75& That is no
where neai the real value, and I have al
decided to assess that property for
$09,650, which >- in proportion to the valu
ation 1 have placed on other ieai;estate in
the vicinity.
"Then the value of their steamers is
ridiculously low in comparison to their
real value. For instance the steamer
Piedmont is put in at $19,000 for the one
ha]f of the ves'e! which is to be assessed
hi Aiameda County. My opinion of that
boat ii thai she i« worth $150,000, or
flOO.Ooo ;,. the least, and in that case I
shall i fled to raise the valuation
to $50,000 for Aiameda County. The
Transit at $11,500 and Thoroughfare at
'are far too low and will be raised
materially, and so with all the other
6teani'
"It also seems to me that $85,000 for the
improvements at the end of the mole, as
they value them, is much too small, and
that building will probably be subject to a
good raise.
"If there wt.s anything new in these
figures I might accept them, but they are
,he same old story and in my opinion not
at all fair, and unless the company sees fit
to give me something better to work on I
suppose I shall have to get out and get
valuations of my own."
Some of the "largest items in the state
ment and which are liable to be materially
raised are as follows: 24 acres on Market
street, adjoining the yards, $15,000; 61.60
acres in the West Oakland yards, $184 000;
steamers Alnmeda. ?7500; El Capitan,
$6500; Oakland. $11,700; Piedmont. $19,000;
Transit, $11,250; Thoroughfare, $11,000-
Bay City, $11,300; Encinal, $11,300; Garden
City, $ l JO00; Newark. $11,300.
Opposed to Hauling Freight.
Merchants whose places of business are
on the line of the Oakland, San Leandro
and Haywards electric road are preparing
a protest to the City Council against the
hauling Of freightcars through the princi
pal streets of the city. The company las
made a practice of late of attaching a flat
car, surmounted by an express wagon,
loaded with trunks and other household
goods, to an electric car, and hauling it
thus to Haywards and way points.
The complaint is made on the ground
that the heavily loaded cars raise a great
amount of du-t and are unsightly.

THE SAN FKANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 1895.
HE LIVED A DUAL LIFE
Elopement of James H. Caspar
With Handsome Bessie
Reed.
COMPLICATIONS WHICH AROSE.
The Deserted Wife Relates the In
teresting Story of Her
Wrongs.
James H. Gaspar of 534]£ Ninth street is
among the missing. Gaspar is a married
man, with a charming wife and two chil
dn n, the eldest being a girl 16 years of age.
Mrs. Gaspar charges that her husband has
eloped with a young woman named Bessie
Bird, and that the couple are now located
in Sacramento.
According to the statements of the de
serted wife the husband lived a dual life
during the past three years. Although
only a teamster he was enabled to keep two
establishments, being known in one place
as Mr. Gaspar and in the other as Mr.
Thomas. The complications that neces
sarily arose out of this state of things
proved to be exceedingly embarrassing to
Gaspar, and in order to escape impending
trouble he has fled.
"I was married seventeen years ago in
Mendocino," said Mr 3. Gaspar yesterday.
"We moved to this city some seven years
ago, and for several years my hus*band
worked for a man named Ayers. We had
two children, a boy and girl, and until 1892
everything went well.
"In the spring of that year 1 went to
Santa Barbara County to locate on some
Government land, and remained there
seventeen months. I took my children
with me, and as my husband sent me very
James H. Gaspar.
little money I was forced to place my chil
dren in my sister'^ family. Not hearing
from my husband for several months I re
turned to this city in October, 1893, satis
fied that something was wrong.
"I found my husband at the Oriole on
Market street. He did not seem to be
overjoyed at my presence in the city. In
fact, he was angry, and late that evening
he told me that "he would have nothing
more to do with me.
"I prevailed upon him, however, to act
manly toward me, and we took rooms at
110 Valencia street. I there discovered the
true character of mv husband one day,
when a tall and "lender blonde came to the
house and inquired for a man named
Thomas.
"The description she gave answered to
that of my husband, and when I asked
what she wanted with him she answered
that she was his wife. The woman called
frequently upon me and charged me with
trying to alienate the affections of her hus
band. This woman I subsequently found
out was Bessie Reed, who lived with my
husband at the corner of Hayes street and
Van Ness avenue under the name of
Thomas. She followed me frequently and
one day told me that I would have to give
my husband up or she would kill me.
"When asked for an explanation Gaspar
admitted that he had introduced Bessie
Reed as his wife and that he fir?t met her
during my absence. He further said that
he loved her and if I would be accommo
dating enough to die he would make Bessie
his wife in reality."
Gaspar left a few days ago and Bessie
Reed, alias Mrs. Thomas, is also missing
from the city.

ARISING IN NEW FORM
A College of Practical Viticul
ture to Be Estab
lished
Why the Board of Horticulture Was
Left and Its Fellow Dis
banded.
Following fast upon the news that the
Viticultural Commission mnst go out of
existence next December comes the news
that the Commissioners and their
friends are perfecting a scheme whereby
all that was of value in the old institution
may be retained in a new organization,
only the general plan of which has bo far
been spoken of. It is meeting with very
general favor, however, and it is hoped
that by the time the present commission
will disband the new organization will be
in running order and quite ready to take
up the work necessary.
The plan is one to form a college of
practical viticulture, which will acquire
as good a libiary as the old commission,
will gather what information is obtainable
regarding the viticultural interest, and
will disseminate the same, just as the
present institution has been doing all
along. The one particular wherein it will
differ from the old commission will be in
this: The new organization will incor
porate, and its directors will be elected by
the members of the organization. They
will have no affiliation with political par
ties and the institution will be run en
tirely independent of the State govern
ment.
When the affairs of the commission have
been wound up all the effects of the ottice
will be turned over to the regents of the
university, and will presumably be handed
over by them to the agricultural depart
ment of the college, which is expected to
continue the work of the commission.
There is now at the commission rooms, on
the corner of Pansome and Bnsb streets,
one of the finest .viticultural libraries in
America, and it will be rather hard for the
new organization to give it tip, but the
present Viticultural Commissioners expect
to be able to duplicate it when they go out
of orhce next December.
There are already enlisted in the scheme
some of the most prominent vineyardists
in the State, including representatives from
every important wine district in California.
All the present Commissioner.s are also in
terested in it. and with such support it is
hoped to make a strong ana lasting insti
tution. Its only political element will be
to attend to legislation iv both Legislature
and Congress whenever any hill in the in
terests of its clients is introduced, or when
any obnoxious measure is in danger of be
ing adopted.
The Viticultural Commission is in this
respect in a little better condition than the
Board of Horticulture. The Viticultural
Commission was killed in the Legislature,
but the Board of Horticulture, while not
killed, had its appropriation cut off by the
Governor's veto.
It was originally intended that it should
share the fate of the Viticultural Commis
sion, but by a neat little political play this
was averted. It seems that at the same
time the legislative committee from the
Board of Repents of the university was
actively pressing the legislators to place
the work of the board in the hands of the
agricultural department of the university
they were also supporting Mr. Phelps' bill
to appropriate $250,000 to erect a building
in this city to contain the affiliated col
lies. By some me ans Frank Buck of i
N»pa, who was working in the interests of :
the board, tratherrd strength enough in the
Senate to defeat the afliiiated colleges bill
in that house, and then ho went to Mr.
Phelps and made a compromise with him.
The resents were to let the Board of
Horticuiture alone, or their affiliated col
leges hill would not go throusrh the Senate,
and as this Jatt«r was of more importance
to them they agreed, and the Board of
Horticulture was let alone. But when it
cairn* before the Governor he vetoed the
appropriation and the board now has its i
life, but alter July 1 will have to support !
itself.
In the meantime the Viticulturnl Com
mission was ordered disbanded on Decem
ber 31, 1393, and an appropriation to last
that long was allowed. By that time the
viticulturists will be in a position to con
tinue the work of the commission without
any trouble by the new organization which
will succeed it.
A Coroner's jury was summoned in Con
nelbville, Pa., to investigate the circum
stances attending the death of Mrs. Jose
