EVENTS IN THE COUNTIES BORDERING ON THE BAY OF SAN FRANCISCO
AMENDMENT STOPS
NEW LICENSE LAW
Working of the Constitutional
Cfause Will Change Assessed
Valuation of Oakland
OAKLAND,. Nov. 29.— The first effect
of constitutional amendment No. 1 was
felt last night when the city council,
advised by City Council. Gross, voted
to sustain Mayor Frank K. Mott's veto
of an ordinance to regulate the busi
ness lioensc-s of gas and electric light
companies. The ordinance had been
requested by the Suburban light and
power company, which operates in the
annexed distrirt. and declares that the j
present tax of $1,600 *% year is ex- j
cessive in ratio to the "'earnings.
According to Gross, the full effect
of the amendment, which will become
active January 1. 1911, is still uncer
tain. The amendment provides that
public service corporations shall be
taxed by the state on their gross earn
ings, which will eliminate license
taxes imposed by the cities and will
make certain properties of the cor
porations exempt from city or county
assessment.
Gross estimates that for Oakland the
lofs in license income will be $13,480
a year. The loss to the city in as
seseed- valuation will be $16,500,000.
Computed at the current tax rate of
f 1.38. the loss to the city in tax Income
will be $227,700. Oposed to this will
be the exemption of this city from
state taxes, which this year amounted
to $411,246.
Gross explains, however, that the
public service corporations in this city
will still be taxed for the bonded In
debtedness incurred by the municipal
ity before the amendment goes into
effect. ".

No Relief From
the "Regular"
Physicians
Oakland, CaL, August 6, 1910.
" To the Public: I wish to certify that
I have been cured by Dr. T. Foo Yuen
of chronic stomach trouble, so that
others suffering from the same cause
may be enlightened and go to him for
treatment
About five years ago, while living in
San Francisco, I began to have attacks
of Indigestion, which gradually In-
creased until I had to call in a physi-
cian, and while there I was treated by
two American physicians of good re-
pute, but obtained no relief, the at-
tacks becoming more - frequent and
more severe; the pain in my stomach
at that time became almost unbearable.
Since moving to Oakland, I have
treated with six well known physicians
who exhausted their skill with no good
results. I suffered such Intense pain
that I cried in agony and wished to
die. The doctors said nothing could be
done for me except to give, me mor-
phine to ease the pain. But my friends
would not have it so. Last September
they hurried me to see Dr. Foo. who
had a short time before located at 1912
Broadway. Oakland. After he had ex-
amined my pulse he said I had serious
stomach trouble. I began to take his
herbal treatment at once, and after
taking it for two .months I noticed a
decided improvement, seldom having
any pain, and felt hopeful and encour-
aged. After the expiration .of six
months Dr. Foo discharged -me as
cured.
Five months have passed since then
and I have felt no return of the trou-'
ble, so I feel the cure will be perma-
nent. My weight taken in health was
165 pounds, which had been reduced to
114 pounds when I went to consult Dr.
Foo. I now weigh 145. and think in a
short time I will be up to my normal
condition In every respect.
I found Dr. Foo a kind and courteous
gentleman and would advise those who
are suffering to avail themselves of his
wonderful skill, which far surpasses
that of any physician that I have ever
employed. . ;
I believe I owe my life to Dr. Foo
Yuen, and my gratitude is unbounded
Respectfully.

WIFE HELPS TO PUT
THIEF INTO PRISON
Judge Rejects Plea for Proba*
tion Because the Prisoner
Posed as Bachelor
OAKLAND, Nov. 29.— Because a wife
confronted him after he had solemnly
declared to Probation Officer Ruess that
he was a bachelor, Jacob Baron will
have to go to San Quentln peniten
tiary for five years Instead of being
placed on probation. Having 1 pleaded
guilty to robbing Mrs. Flora Boas of
200 watches, and having shown that
It was his first offense, he stood a fair
chance of clemency until It was dis
covered that he he had lied to Ruess.
He got the watches from Mrs. Boas,
who formerly conducted a jewelry shop
In Philadelphia, and intended to open
one in Oakland, by lodging at hei
house and making love to her. He was
going to marry her, the police say,
when the. watches were stolen.
His wife, whom he left in Norfolk,
Va., read of his arrest and ofhis in
tention to marry Mrs. Boas. She tele
graphed to Rabbi Meyerovitz of Oak
land as follows:
"Hold Jake Baron until I arrive."
Then she took a train and arrived in
time to help send her husband to the
penitentiary. Judge Brown today de
nied Baron probation and .gave him a
five year sentence.

taining possession of, the trophy before
the final decision." ,:,. .

the football ' team that he desired to
ascertain' the whereabouts of the cup.
