Tax Association of Alameda Issues Jiulletiii, Deals tvith Convict Dalton Are Set Forth. (sptelal CorrMncti'lenre nf The Tinim. 1 OAKLAND, Jan. 21. O.

Ii. Kan-lels, editor and supposed proprietor of the Enquirer of this city, has fctlrred up another hornet's nest by attacking editorially in his newspaper the Tax Association of Alameda county. This Association is composed of responsible business men of Oakland nnd has a high standing in the community. It has issued a bulletin exposing Daniels. The "printing Rcandals" of tho Enquirer some years ago brought Daniels Into the limelight In a way from which he hns never been nble to emerge, and although the paper has been posing as "reform" organ and Its editor as one of the battlers for the Lord, persons familiar with its course hnve known that it has been one of pure hypocrisy.

The grab that is, the first grab was committed in 1902, when Henry P. Dalton, now serving a sentence In the penitentiary, was Assessor for Alameda county. Daniels and Dalton were close friends, and between them they accomplished the fraud. CONSPI RED TOGETHER. According to affidavits filed by George A.

Oakes, publisher of the Haywurds Journal, and Kussell It, fitedman, then an Enquirer employee, Daniels and Dalton conspired together to obtain money from the county for work that was never done. The amount Involved was $1575. It was declared In statements made to the District Attorney at the time that Dalton had sent for Oakes and told him that he wanted some booka made for the Assessor's office. The order was given and then the war-runts were issued, one for $H00 and the other for $00. J.

II. Lanktree, an Oakland attorney, discounted tho warrants. Two cheeks made out to Oakes were produced at the trial which followed. These were indorsed by Oakes, with Daniels as the final payee. Stedman made affidavit that the books never were delivered to the county and that the work which cost on tho discounted warrants never was done.

Oaken said he never delivered the books; that he expected he Enquirer Company to do the work, and that he knew nothing further about It. The proceedings against Daniels and Dalton were taken under the section of the Penal Code which sets forth thnt: "Kvery person who with intent to defraud, presents for allowance or for payment to any State Ifoard or ofllcer, or to any county, town, city, ward, or village board or liieers authorized to allow or pay the same if genuine, any false or fraudulent claim, bill, account, voucher, or riting. Is guilty of a felony." Stedman in his affidavit declared among other things: "That affiant (Stedman) knows of his own knowledge thnt the thirty mortgage books described In said bill, No. 728 never were made or de livered by said Oakes to said Assessor or to anv other officer of the county of Alameda or to the county of Ala meda, nor did any one else make or deliver any such books at or about or before or since said 19th day of August, 1901, to said Assessor or to said county of Alameda or to anyone for said county of Alameda or Assessor, nor arc there any such books in said Assessor's office or any county ofllea except sixteen such books which were made about two vents ago hv said Enquirer Publish ins Company, and wen? paid for ah nit then by said county to said corn- pan v. WERE NEVER MADE.

"Affiant further slates that he knows of his own knowledge that seventy-five Assessors' rolls (working) cescnoeu in nam mil were never made or delivered by said Oakes or by any one to said county of Ala meda or to said Assessor or to any on else for said county or Assessor aud that for more than fifteen months last past no such books have been used or kept by said Assessor or by said county. "Affiant further states that both of snld claims have been allowed, and havi been fully paid by the county and that the said money has heen 11- lecally nnd unlawfully and corruptly obtained from said county. That the said Oake, Daniels and Dalton are i lose find Intimate associates, nnd that ti tl i verily believes that the said three persons unlawfully, wickedly and corruptly conspired together for the purpose to and did defraud said loiinty of Alameda out of tho amount i said bills, to wit, $1 Daniels when questioned at the time as to the charges made against him, attempted to evade the Issue by s-iylng that if anything wrong had been done, tt was simply an oversight." Dalton, who on the witness stand, admitted the overcharge, said It was a "mistake." And the money was refunded. liy those who know Daniels nnd his newspaper, both are considered as among the afflictions of Oakland. No smount of posing avails to hide th" dishonest policy of the paper and its conductor.

Now that the Tax Association has again laid bare some of the facts, It is able Daniels will lie low for a proh. time, srCKEH" P.MKHPP.TSE.

There he found that Lady Warwick had sold to Asher Werth.cln.er, a London art dealer, a. famous by Sargent, a bust by the I-ivnih scilp-tor, Ttodin, an automobile and con-, sideruble silver plate, which was scheduled under the attachment.

Needless to say, every one approves of the permanent organization of the Inland Waterways Association of California. Navigation Is to he Its first consideration, with irrigation and flood water storage secondary matters. or tho time being we are having a surplus of water and the storage idea does not appeal bo forcibly to the people of this section. In the past few years nearly eleven miles of sewers, were built in the nichmond, Sunset and Ingleside sections. There was no outlet for them.

Naturally when the floods came the water broke the sewers, washed out the streets and did an Immense amount of damage. Now the Buffering public wonders why officials persist in putting the cart before the horse. For days past the beach has been, the resort of many thousands of visitors. They were interested In the high tides demolish the old landmarks and the apparently futile efforts of the authorities to make the ocean behave Itself. There was a rumor for a while that an earthquake topped by a tidal wave was due, so on the whole the week has been a cheerful one.

After much financial darkness daylight appears In the dissolution of I'nlted Properties. The rehabilitation. or the szvu, 000,000 corporation involves the expenditure of over in this city. This means the development of the United Light and Tower Company and the improvement of the ferry service to the extent of having boats leave every t-n minutes. JtiBt over the line in San Mateo county there Is trouble brewing for a certain man.

Ho Is the Auditor of the county and he has refused to allow pay for a number of women who served as jurors. He may think ihat he la acting economically for a watchful constituency, but just the same, he is not doing what is best for his own peace of mind. City Expert Dolge says that the park funds have been grossly mismanaged. Park Commissioner Metson, who is somewhat of a fire eater, denies this and intimates that the other man is many kinds of a liar. Dolge is not a fire eater, simply a man cf figures, so there Is no prospect of anything like a physical encounter between the two disputants.

Perhaps It might he a humane thing1 to pull off a foot race between them. Despite the storm, hundreds of the unemployed worked for the money subscribed by philanthropic citizens. This was displeasing to the radical loafers, so they started street demonstrations and In the rioting that followed the police made many ar rests. The fellows who seem io cause most of the trouble do not live here and it is to be hoped that there will soon he a call for them elsewhere. Ordinarily it is nice to be first in anything, but we are not proud of the distinction of leading the cities of he country In the number of suicides.

There were 216 last year and sjxty-two homicides. To offset this the births exceed the deaths about 10 per cent. List year there were 7603 births and 7002 deaths. registration for the next election Is proceeding rapidly. Po far over 7000 voters have appeared.

The Ite-publicans are in the lead with the Progressives a close second and the Demo rats just behind them. Ketris-trar Zemansky makes the interesting statement that 146,482 put their names on the rolls last year and of these 10S.081 are natives of the United States. PLUTO. BF.VF.TU.Y HILLS INCOUPOK ATKS.

(Cominiieil from first I'iiko.) hers of the Plate Industrial Accident Commission themselves have been unable to interpret various clauses of the lnw and in endeavoring to reconcile two provisions that are diametrically opposed in intent and effect, they are obliged to fall back upon the "liberal" cl iuse which Riven them unlimited powers in the use of their own discretion. The overworking of this feature of the law has led to discrimination that is complained against by employers of all classes of labor. The leeway pro pled the cemmiHKlon by the law is found in the following paragraph: "See.

On account of the many conflicting surveys in the Imperial Valley, Vaughin erroneously described the land and under that erroneous description, offered proof on land that really was located several miles from the land that his son hail entered.

Then Bonkosky filed an application correctly describing tho ir.nd claimed by Vaughn, but the latter soon learned of this action am he brought an action to cancel the entry of Itonkosky and amend hi' own entry so as to properly descril the land claimed by him, originally entered by his deceased son. The local land officials decided that Adelbert Vaughn is the heir at law of Clarence Vuushn, and ordered that his entry bo amended to cover the land that his son had entered upon and improved.
