BATTLE OVER
ASSESSMENTS
Mr. Black Ryan and the'
Assessor Have Their
Annual Seance.
Properties Assessed by the State
Board Reduced to a
Minimum.
Other Corporations Tile Applications
to Have Their Assessments
Reduced.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,(
908 Broadway, July 14. )
The real battle over the assessments of
Assessor Dalton commenced to-aay when
E. Black Ryan, lax agent of the
Southern Pacific Company appeared be
fore the Board of Kqualizaiiou and band
og in a number of applications. The com-
J any asked that the assessment be placed
1 the same figures as those decided upon
\y the board last year.
Mr. Ryan was accompanied by several
engineers of the company, who were pre
pared to testify as to the value of its prop
erty, and no time was lost in considering
the application.
The ground was all gone over very
thoroughly a year ago. The questions
were examined into at length, and piers,
lines, ferryboats and their values were the
burden of several long sessions. It ended
b*r the board, largely on account of the
advice of the State Board of Equalization,
making large cuts in the Assessor's
figures.
. in some instances it was shown that the
same property had been assessed twice,
once by the State and o..ce by the county;
nnd as equalizers cannot strike an assess
ment from the rolls, these properties were
reduced to a nominal figure.
This year the Assessor mide the figures
the same as last year, thus placing the
responsibility of making the cuts again
with the Supervisors.
The reductions asked lor by the com
pany are as follows:
Improvements at the end of the wharf
depot from $45,000 to $25,000; Centerville
horse railroad, from $3500 to $1000; 2.09
miles electric railway on Telegraph avenue,
from $40,950 to $11,500; 2 35 miles of cable
on Sau Pablo avenue, iom $83,225 io $47,000;
franchise on the same, from $71,000 to
$10,000; 2.04 miles eiectric road iv Berkeley,
rom $43,350 to $15,125; .35 of a mile
of cable - road near Park avenue, from
1.750 to $3500; 1.4 mites electric road near
University grounds, irom $25,500 lo $5700;
.23 of a mile of electric road on Alcatraz
avenue, from $2525 to $1300; franchise on
these last two lines from $6000 to $1000.
- sty acres of marsh land west ol the line of
Market, tree!. Oakland, from $18,000 to $1800.
A tract of marsh land comprising 447.50
acres, bounded north and east by the Oakland
harbor, trom $134,225 to $65,000.
An undivided interest in a tract of march
land, bounded north and ea.t by Oakland
* harbor, comprising 430.37 acres, from $129,
--1100 to $65,000.
m Terry depot at the end of the broad-gauge
¥ mo_s .rom $15 ..300 to $85,000. improvements
fat long wharf, from $15. to $7000.
Three and a half miles ut road with roiling
stock, $175,000; forty miles of sidetracks,
$00,000; franchise, $250,000; 8000 feet of
long wharf, $250,000, making a total of $735,
--000. which was asked to be reduced to $10.
With a few exceptions the reductions
asked are the same as those granted last
year. A long inquiry into the values of
the propeities of the company took place.
It was stated tbat the Telegraph-avenue
electric road was paying a little, but the
San Pablo cable road is operated at a
loss.
Mr. Ryan argued that the properties
-hould not be assessed at what they cost
originally, as much of it is old and worn
out. He asked for an assessment at the
figure they would bring if sold in open
market. He stated tbat the Seventh
street line was a part of the main line just
as much as the narrow-gauge branch, and
being assessed by the Stale board should
not be assessed in this county.
Mr. Dalton argued that the Seventh-
Bireet local line and the mole were part of
i: . .Mem wholly operated in this county
and should be asses. ed by this county and
not by the State board. He said the
narrow-gange line is a part of tbe main
line, hut the Seventh-street local is not.
Several times during the day the opin
ions of the District Attorney were sought
on various points. Assistant District At
torney Church declined to advise the
Sut ervisors, because he has a brother on
the board, and all matters were referted to
Mr. Snook.
After a mornine and afternoon of argu
ment the board voted to reduce the assess
ments on the Seventh street and Berkeley
lands to ten dollars' as they are assessed
by the State board. The vote was, aye«,
'1-lcott, Mitchell and Church; noes,'
Wells and Koetb.
The board .-ilso voted to reduce the as
sessment of ilia Piedmont and Mountain
View Railroad Company to about the
same figures as those on which taxes were
paid last year.
An application was received from the
A dan; estate heirs asking that the as
sessment on Oakland property be reduced
from $156,00!) to $30,400.

MISSTATEMENTS
NAILED DOWN
Stopping an Injury to the
Local and State
Jute Industry. .
Superintendent Kutherford of
the California Cotton Mill
in the East.
He Is Correcting the Erroneous In
formation Being Given to
the Senate.
OAKLAND, Cal., July 14.— The cotton
manufacturers are declaring that this in
dustry is being seriously threatened and
that unless the misrepresentations made
in the Senate are speedily corrected they
will be forced to close down for lack of in
telligent protection.
In January last Superintendent Ruther
ford of the California Cotton-mills at East
Oakland was in Washington an*l appeared
before the Ways and Means Committee in
behalf of the protection of the jute-bag
and burlap industry. To the surprise of
the cotton-mill owners of this State the
Senate, on June 19, voted adversely on the
protection of this industry, and was large
ly led to do so by "incorrect, misleading
and unjust" reports. Superintendent
Rutherford has just prepared a statement
which has been forwarded to Representa
tives at Washington and which is of vital
importance to thousands of people in this
State. It clearly sets forth the truth of
the matters referred to.
In answer to the charge that the Cali
fornia Cotton-mills employed Chinese la
bor in their mills while running under
the McKinley tariff, the answer is given:
"The jutemill I represent employs only
free white American labor and never em
ployed a single Chinaman nor paid a dol
lar for Chinese labor. The mill located at
Clinton formerly employed Chinese labor,
but for many years previous to its shut
down had been displacing this labor with
white free help, until, at the time of its
stoppage in 1894, it employed 450 free
white operators and only 50 Chinese."
The statement was made in Congress
"tbat the jutemills on the Pacific Coast
were run entirely by convict and Chinese
labor." The answer says: "There are
three jutemills in California which em
ploy free white labor. This is exclusive of
the jutemill owned by the State and run
by convicts. One mill Is located at
Twenty-third avenue, East Oakland, es
tablished in- 1884; one at Clinton, East
Oakland, which was established in 1872,
and another at Twenty-eighih and Chan
nel streets, San Francisco, built in 1892,
but which lias never been started."
The charge "that the proportion of bags
and burlaps made here by domestic manu
facturers was so small as io be of no im
portance" is thus refuted: "In 1893 over
6000 bales of raw jute, weighing 40- pounds
each, were manufactured by the one mill
1 represent and made into bags, burlaps
and twine. The quantity was annually in
creasin > under the protective tariff of 1&90
till 1894, adequate protection being given
by the McKinley act, when raw jute was
put on the free list." It was also said that
there had been little or no increase in
domestic production for many years
under an adequate protection.
Mr. Rutherford makes this reply: "The
three white labor mils under adequate
protection such as we had from 1890 to
1894 would give employment to over 900
wage-earners and produce over 25 per
cent of the bags required for grain on this
coast and pay in wages over $300,000 an
nually. Between 1886 and 1890 the manu
facture of jute bags doubled in Volume,
and between 1890 and 1892 a large amount
of new jute machinery was procured for a
new juiemill i.ere, but was never erected
owing to the passage of the Wilson bill.
Th'S machinery now lies in the original
cases in the mill built to receive it in San
Francisco. This mill would be stared up
under adequate protection and many
more would soon follow."
It was also stated by Mr. White in the
United States Senate that "the Legis
lature of the State of California favored
free grain bags and burlaps and nad in
structed Senator Perkins to vote for the
same."
The facts are these: "A resolution in
troduced into the California State Legis
lature last session (in January, 1897), in
favor of free grain baes was unfavorably
received and lapsed from want of sup
port. The Legislature, like the people of
the State, want manufactures protected
and jute bags and burlaps among thorn,
all having experienced' the disastrous
effect., arising io city and country alike
from the operations of the Wilson bill.
Moreover, at a joint meeting of the San
francisco Chamber of Commerce and
Board of Trade, held last January in San
Francisco, at which representative farm
ers, large growers of grain and shippers
ol wheat were present, a resolution was
passed urging Congress to protect the
manufactures of this Mate as well as the
products of the farm, bags and burlaps
being s-ecially mentioned, to be given an
adequteduty in the following words:
" "We ask that grain bags and burlaps be
placed on the dutiable list and bear the
duty hxed by act of 1890.' "
"Tbe situation is simply this," said Mr.
Rutherford last night, '"each industry
should have its share of the duty to bear.
It should not be t:*at the fruits and wool
have all of the protection and the manu
facturing interests have none. Each
should bear their portion. Give the farmer
some on his fruit, some on his wool, some
on his other product!, and give the manu
facturer some on bis products to protect
he laborer.
"There are sixty flax, jute and hemp
mills partially or entirely shut down
owin» to the free entry of these
products. This represents a capi
tal of $12,424,000 and 11,139 em
ployes. his is exclusive of those making
only bags where bags are made by ma
chinery of foreign raw material.
"Senator White has placed himself in a
most peculiar position championing pro
tection for tho«e things in Southern Cali
fornia that have never had protection and
doing nothing to assist Senator Perkins to
secure protection lor the northern portion
of our State. Mr. White objects to reduc
ing the tariff on jute bags on the plea that
it is an injury to the farmers and he is not
going to do auything that win make their
burden any heavier.
"Mr. English, one of his most intimate
friends, said to-day tbat 90 per cent of the
farms in tbis State belonged to the capi
talists and banks, and they had refused
to cnt them up into small holdings for
the farmer to buy. preferring to hold it
themselves. Mr. Fooie placed the pro
portion at 75 percent, but in either case
it is easy to see that the opposition
to duty on grain bags is from capital in
stead of from labor or the farmers, as Mr.
White would have the public believe. As
suming it to be a fact, for the sake of
argument, that the farmer was compelled
to pay the duty it would be only a small
amount. Only 10 cents per acre.
"I have not met a farmer in California
that would not pay that. He would get
more for bis wool, for his meat, his bops
and bis wheat as well as everything else.
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JULY 15, 1 897.
The first attack Senator White made on
the tariff bill was on a paragraph which
specified a duty on burlap bags, section 19.
His claim that Chinese were worked here
is false, as every one knows.. We never
had a Chinese on the place. The old jute
mill at Clinton, which 1 never had a thine
to do with, did employ them, but of late
years, before closing down under a free
tariff, they always employed white labor.
"The free white labor mills of Califor
nia at full running under protection em
ploy over 900 wage-earners. One million
dollars is invested in the mills, which
work up annually 25,000 bales of raw jute
and producing 13,000,000 grain bags an
nually. This leaves out of account entire
ly the State jutemills run by prison labor,
which now manufacture 6,000,-03 erain
bags yearly. In view of the foregoing
facts and figures is it wise or politic to
wipe out the jute bag and burlap industry
of this coast and of the United States and
throw so many people out of employment,
ruin the capital invested and leave the
consumers of bags and burlaps for all
time entirely at the mercy of foreign im
porters? •
"We confidently rely upon the Repub
lican party doing its duty to this indus
try, and sustaining the rate of duty agreed
on by the House of Representatives, and
thus showing their consistency to the
declaration of their principles."
WOMEN HAVE THEIR DAY.

During her remarks she said: "It is the
| women in this age who are working for
i the advancement of the race, lt i-< the
j women who collect in societies to study
I problems of sociology and philan'hropy
I that are moving society to-day toward the
| desired goal. These practical women are
j learning lessons in social questions that

A QUEER CASE.
Arrest of a Young Man on a Charge of
\ t '*f': Kobbing a Woman.
ALAMEDA, Cal., July 14— A young
man, who gave the name of I*. M. Young,
was arrested last night in this city on
complaint of a young woman giving the
j name of Miss Jessie Ross, who charged
! Young with robbery. Miss Ross says that
j she is visiting friends on Ellis street in
I San Francisco and made tbe acquaintance
j of Young on the street on -Monday, both"
I hailing from the same town in Oregon.
They went to Piedmont together and she
says that Young stole her watch and
i purse with $19 in coin and ran away.
j Yesterday she saw him in San Francisco
! und followed him here, and after asking
! him for the return of her property and
i being refused she had him arrested.
I Young says that she gave him the money
to use for both, and that she intrusted the
watch to him for tbe purpose of giving it
to a watchmaker for repair. Young was
locked up and , Miss Ross promised to
come over this morning and swear to a
complaint, but did not do so. fy

saying that lead will be pumped ad libi
tum at forked horns and spiked buc__s so
long as there is light sufficient to see the
sights of a Winchester rifle. b-
Yesterday afternoon a special car was
attached to an engine at the Sausalito de
pot, and the following gentlemen bent on
Mr. Stetson Bowls Over a Large Buck.
having a good time and a most successful
outing took passage for Tocaloma, at
which place the Country Club bad a large
conveyance in waiting to escort the mem
bers and invited guests to the club's head
quarters in the beautiful Bear Valley:
J. V. Stetson, president of the North
Pacific Coast Railroad, F. Hicks of Los
Angeles, Fred Howard, D. Hyland, C.
Hamilton and W. Kittle.
The gentlemen will use Winchester
rifles of tbe most improved pattern, but
owing to orders that were issued last year
by the club the new rifle bullet which kills
at two miles and over must not be used on
the club's premises., ,
Mr. Stetson is said to be an expert deer
shooter, and doubtless be will score a suc
cess to-day in bowling over some of the
"preserved" game which have waxed fat
ana lazy owing to the excellent feed they
enjoy over an extended range of country.
Mr. Hicks of Los Angeles is a remark
ably fine quail shot, and although he has
had a rather limited experience in rifle
shooting he feels that ii a favorable op
portunity presents itsell for a snap shot
at a fleeing monarch something will be
seen to take a tumble. Howard and Hy
land are old at the game of deer-stopping.
Consequently they will be muchly sur
prised sportsmen if they should fail to
raw blood during the early hours of the
morning. Of course much depends on
Hamilton and Kittle. Those gentlemen
figure on the club's game log as being
crackajneks with rifle and shotgun.
7 It is with pardonable pride Mr. Kittle
relates a good story anent Saddlebags, his
trusty old mule.
"I would not part with that old mule
for any sum of money," said Billy a few
days ago while discussing the outlook for
deer shooting thie season. He is trained,
to the chase as well as any hound, and
although you may consider it a flash of
imagination, I can positively assure you
that Saddlebags will snort and come to
a standstill when be arrives within
smelling distance of a deer. But if you
should miss a good shot then look out for
kicks. That old mule will buck up and
down hill until he finds his rider is thrown
out of the pigskin, and then off he will
start for his stable.
"Why he is the wonder of the ape, and
as I never miss a good shot, you know,
the- friendship that exists between us is
naturally of the warmest kind."
It is expected • thai venison stakes will
be plentiful in the Country Club this even
ing. A tine of $50 is imposed upon any
member or guest who kills a doe or spot
ted lawn.
Tho crack shots of the Tamalpais Club
will be in the saddle bright and early this
morning. Among the members who will
hit and. miss are: G. Domergue, A. Rose,'
J. Bergez, William Brown, F. La Cost*.,
John Siebe, F. Osborne, H. Williams and
Billy Berg, a sportsman 4 who is known as
the champion German-hill climber of the
club. He will hunt on foot in preference
to riding on horseback. .
John Bergez expects to accomplish some
wonderful shooting with a new rifle which
he recently received from "Papa"- Muser,
who is visiting relatives in Germany. ■-'■.'..- <■
'■' Mr. '.Bergez has promised ; his friends
that he will not dismount and tie his
steed to a gooseberry tree ; this time
should be have occasion to draw a bead
on big game. v; 7: »; .-,■■.■■■- ;-..-.,_-;..:
Johnny Siebe is living in hones that be
will be so fortunate as to get a shot at a
deer standing within ten yards of •", his
rifle. He imagines that the buck fever
will not annoy him provided the game
will not be in a hurry to wish him the top
o' the morning. .-..■- b.' ,J _. :
It is said that Osborne smells blood
afar. He has promised innumerable
steaks to his friends, and that proves con
clusively the confidence of the man.
Billy Brown— well, he' cannot fail to bag
game. His friends say that William has
already branded two 120-pound "snort
ers," and that, of course, means "pie" for
Billy.
La Costa and Domergue are noncom
mittal, but a wink from La Costa means a
good deal. It's a dead sure shot La Costa
will have a scalp or two dangling from his
cartridge belt this evening
Sportsmen must remember that the
Supervisors of some near-by counties have
ordained that d'ermii't not be killed
during this month. 'Ihe Call published

RICHARDSON REINSTATED.
Captain Levy Loses His Position at
Stare Island.
OAKLAND, Cal., July 14 —Captain
Henry Levy, who succeeded H. D. Rich
ardson at Mare Island as chief clerk of
the yards and docks department, has been
removed and his predecessor reinstated.
This unexpected order from Washington
was a great surprise to the politicians of
this city, and veral other men who were
appointed while Mr. English was in Con
gress are now on the anxious seat.
Captain Levy was an active Democratic
worker in this city and a prominent mem
ber of the National Guard. Mr. Richard
son is a veteran of the Civil War, and the
civil service order of Mr. Cleveland pro
vides that old soldiers or their widows
may be reinstated in positions they once
held without examination. The place is
worth $1400 a year.
THE MEAGHERS' MISERY.
Married While Children, Ihejr Days
Quarreled Ever Since.
OAKLAND, Cal., July 14. — Mrs.
Meagher, the oung wife wbo attempted
to end her life by poison, is still at tbe
Receiving Hospital, but she is now out of
danger. To-day she sent for her little
girl, and says she will not let any one
take her away again.
From the story told by Mr. Meagher,
who is a Postoffice messenger, it it very
plain that all the fault is not on one side,
and that a marriage of a boy of 19 to a
girl of 16 is not likely to prove happy.
"We were married five years ago," said
Meagher to-night, "and during that time
my wile has left me several times. Three
weeks ago she camo home at midnight
with the little girl, and I asked her where
she bad been. She would not tell me, and
we had some words and the next morning
she went to Mrs. Dougherty's and I have
not seen her since. Her statement that I
mother and sneered at her a few hours
before she decided to commit suicide is
not true. I have not seen her since she
left home three weeks ago. Neither have
I squandered the money she got from her
uncle. She was not living with me when
she got it, and we were not reconciled
until after it was. all gone. Ido not earn
a big salary, but I have always tried to
support her, but she has not found happi
ness in our home."
