One ' Year -: -ilKl DEMANDS ITS RETURN Major Clarke Becomes Irate When Referred to as , VJT dl LCI \u25a0\u25a0- \u25a0 • BERKELEY, June 21.— Bishop Wil : Ham M. Bell of the Brethren church makes it a point. to pay his poll tax promptly and without demur, but when the poll tax: man gets him twice; in one season he becomes abit.-in-^ dignant. Thus it was that the offlos of ; Deputy Assessor A. G. Clarke today received a' visit from the -prelate^ who" desired to; lodge-' a ; complaint -^that his poll tax had been -collected 'twice', yils year, and also to prefer a request 'for. the return of part of the, money. : : 'He was denied the money, • and- in ilio strenuous t melee - that -followed .'.with Peputy Clarke was threatened; .with bodily removal from the place,'.; the threat being emphasized by "Deputy Clarke with a chair, brandished high in the air." The good bishop, a man of peace and abominating a brawl, pre pared to quietly leave the premises. " j Before '.betaking/, himself i' from T the place, liowever. Bishop Bell- informed IVlajor Clarke that he apparently be longed to the genus grafter, and that the $2 overcharge " possibly ' ; *had found its M r ay into Clarke's own pockets. Then the storm broke anew. Major Clarke raged and fumed and swore, denouncing the dignifieU bishop! as a prevaricator, and as one. who knew not whereof he spoke. The air became sul phurous, but Bishop Bell calmly, sfood his ground until the storm cleared away a bit. Then he explained that he had not wished to be taken seriously when he spoke of "grafting," .'{his word hav ing been used, in a jocular way, with none but pleasant feelings inspiring the phrase. The bishop's explanation did not palliate Clarke. He heaped impre cations upon the minister. . and then Bishop' Bell quietly departed. . " George Drum, an assistant of Clarke in the office/ had prepared to telephone for the police during the row, but the minister left before such intervention was necessary. Bishop Bell, who lives at 2014 Cedar street,;said tonight: , ; I hare been before the public for 25 years, and this in tho first time that anything approach ing the proportion of a squabble has c-ouie into my life. I went to the deputy assessor to secure the return of $2, my poll tax haTins been col lected twice this year, oiiue through the medium' of a cheek, which 1 showed its. Clarke, and once through my wife, during mj- absence from borne. Mr. Clarke, refused to refund the money, apparently Jsnorlng the receipts I presented to prore.that I told the truth. There wag "\u25a0abso lutely no question of the correctness of the re ceipts, and I was aina;ed at the refusal to re turn the extra money I had paid. The - same thing had occurred the year before . and the re fund had been made at once on that occasion. When Mr. Clarke denied me the return of my money today I wan puzzled "S»nd : surprised, and expressed my opinion . of I the proceedings : in a way that ancered him. - When I remarked in a Jocular -way that the graft spirit seemed, to per-: meate all classes he began to abuce me. threat ene<i to remofe \u25a0me from - the 'place, ) and oppar-' ently tried to dislodge articles of furniture" with which to attack ; m/. !> :lt - was ,an unpleasant scene. I left, at once. I . consulted with the president of the bank where . I do business in Berkeley \u25a0 and was - told by him that Mr. Clarke was notsjuatifled inrefuslng u\e the payment C asked. I shall refer the matter to Mr. Clarke's superior. Mr. Palton, . and of course it will" be attended to satisfactorily, in the end. Major Clarke declares that he had no wish to collect Bishop Bell's poll tax twice— "once is enough." He says that the bishop ' produced; a bank check marked paid and a poll tax receipt, whereas two receipts should have been shown before a refund was made. ' , . "I resented being called a grafter," said Clarke, ."and" told the, man who thus addressed me to leave the office. I did notcare to 'talk further on those lines.. »He left, and , that was all there was to it. Upon looking up the books I find that- Mr. Bell paid his poll tax twice, and that?receipts were'-issued to him. If he had presented the receipts there would have been no I am not allowed to ' accept, a canceled bank check as. a receipt and that was what Mr. Bell showed me."
