SOUTH OMAHA PONTOON PLAN
Pot tntvnttniulc Supervisors Arc Asked
for it Ten Years'
License.
The South Omaha Pontoon Bridge and
Ferry company appeared before the Board
of County Supervisors yesterday by Its at
torney with a request that It be granted a
ten-year license "to keen and maintain a
pontoon bridge' and steam ferryboat across
the Missouri river between Lewis township
and tho Nebraska shore opposite and to
keep and maintain suitable landings within
said township of. Lewis and to make land
ings thereon, fixing the rates ot -tolls and
fcrrlago to be charged and to mako such
other and further orders ns may, .be. neces
sary to carry said license Into effect, no
tices having been posted, as required by
law twenty days prior to "tho making of
this application."
Attorney Wallace, who' appeared on be-
Half of tho bridge and, ferry company,
itatcd that a similar license1 had been
granted the company by the Douglas county
commissioners and the city council of South
Omaha was at present condemning the
right of way for the company to tho ferry
landing In that city. Attorney Wallace had
with him a resolution granting' the license
asked for In which were embodied the
rates that the comDanv Intended rharo-lnn-
I lor ferriage ?and tolls. The board, how
ever, was not prepared to. take-anyjactlon
in tho matter In the absence of County At
torney Klllpack and so Attorney Wallace
did -not present his resolution. The -board
laid the matter over till Friday.
Farmers Favor Kerry..
President Matthews of the Board of Su
pervisors states that tho farmers of Lewis
township are much Interested In the pro
jected enterprise of the bridge and ferry
company and are heartily in favor of It.
President Matthews says that as far as ho
knows there Is no opposition to the license
being granted. Tho South Omaha company
has taken no .stops as yet to secure the
right of way from the landing at the river
bank to the highway, which would have
to be partly through accreted lands. Ac
cording to tho present plans tho South
Omaha landing on this side of the river
will be about one mile west of Lake Man
awa and will connect with what is known
as the Goldapp highway.
Tho farmers favor the enterprise, as
they believe it will give them not- only a
shorter but a cheaper route., to the South
Omoha stock yards for their cattle: "

tion to the board In which he stated that

J5 a .day for their services and the work
Is to be done as speedily as possible.
Tho board failed to concur In the action
of the city council In granting John Mergcn
the old soldier exemption of $800 actual
valuo on bis homestead. A number of
other exemptions from taxation made by

(From a Start Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, June IS. (Special.) Tho
Stato Association of County Attorneys held
a meeting In Dcs Molncs today, which was
attended by about one-third of tho county
attorneys of tho state. Tho association
wns welcomed to tho city by Assistant
Attorney General Charles Van Vlcck In a
speech, which was responded to by U. G.
Whitney of Sioux City. The most Inter
esting paper presented to tho association
was one by Assistant State Treasurer J.
S. McQulston on tho Collateral Inheritance
low, which has been causing more or less
trouble to tho county attorneys and other
officials of the state ever slnco It was
placed on the statute books. Mr. McQuls
ton outlined tho provisions of the law nnd
tho method of procedure for collecting tho
tax. Tho county attorneys aro mnde the
direct representatives of the Btnto in the
matter of the collection of tho tax and are
charged with responsibility for giving no
tice to tho treasurer of slate of tho applica
tion of tho tax.
l.nw Dtniciili to Apply.
The law Is so difficult of, application that
It hnB been found necessary to Issue cir
culars of Information on the subject. The
collateral Inheritance tax has proven qulto
a source of income to tho stato slnco tho
enactment of the law, about $116,000 hav
ing been received during the year 1900. A
number of payments have lately been made
In estates where the testator or Intcstato
had been dead several years and 'tho tax
discovered to be duo the stato because
of a transfer ot real estate, tho lien of
tho tax forcing tho puyraent In order to
show clear title. It Is probnblo that there
Is much duo the state that should havo
been paid which has never been reporteil.
Foreign estates, llfo or term estates, re
malner and bequests to charitable, educa
tional and religious societies or Institu
tions outside of tho stato are thoso that
are most likely to escape.
Tho county attorney, tho clerk of the
district court, administrators, executors and
trustees aro nil officers, together with the
.treasurer of stato aud the courts, charged
with tho administration of tho collateral
Inheritance tax law. It should be the caro
of each to see, that ltfls fully enforced, as
aro all other statutes which they are
.charged with enforcing., The only other
topic considered at length by tho county
attorneys was that relating to tho tax
ferret taw, which Is a new one and Is
causing much trouble to the county at-'
torneys. '
Mectlnir nf liistltntr Superintendent.
' Tho quarterly-meeting, tho superintend
ents or siaio insmuyo.ns wun mo oiuiu
Board of Control w tQda at the rooms ,
of tho board in ieC5St)tle'.capltgl. A paper
was read by SuporlftUndent Goss of the
ipoiaicrs urpnans tiomo ai uavenpon on
"Tho Evils of Protofiged Detention in Our
Stato Institutions and How Best to Over
come Them." A paper was read by Com
mandant Horton of Marshalltowb on "Pa
triotism In State Institutions."
The paper which attracted moro atten
tion than any other-at tho meeting today
was one by Dr. Powell of Gienwood on
"Unsanitary Marriages." Dr. Powell de
clared that the opening year of tho twenti
eth century finds a tendency toward crystal
lization of thoughts and efforts for the
upbuilding nnd betterment of the human
race, physically' and mentally, by methods
looking to prevention' of the production of
sub-normal progeny. Sociological organiza
tions aro widening their scope of action,
are more definite In their purposes and as
a result of far-reaching Inquiries Into ab
normal conditions and accumulated experi
ences thero Is at this time a general syste
matic ond concerted movement of Investiga
tion in the direction of etiology in order
to ascertain the underlying causes of trans
mlesiblo taints and v)ces.
To Prevent Improper MnrrlnRes.
And, In harmony with this, we find an
advocacy of moro advanced measures for
prevention. This latter Is termed the "new
philanthropy." Thero,are now In tho United
States over 500,000 of the defective classes
and every state in tho union Is heavily
taxed for their caro and comfort and yet
there Is not ample provision for all of them.
Dr. Powell discussed freely tho vicious
methods which havo been suggested for
preventing tho harm done by tho Increase
In the number of defectives nnd turned to
the newest proposal, that of legislation to
prevent tho marriage of tho unfit persons.
Almost all tho statcB havo a goneral law
on tho statute books by which tho marriage
of those of unsound minds can be nullified
on tho ground that they wero Incompetent
to contract marriage.
This has been taken advantage of In at
least one case In lo.wa, but unfortunately
the harm had' been done and tho children
of this union are In the Institution for tho
Feeble Minded nt Gienwood. Without
definitely approving of the general adop
tion of restrictive laws Dr. Powell de
clared his confidence that tho discussion of
tho subject will be of great value and lead
to correct conclusions as to what is desir
able. Tho reading of the paper brought out
an extended discussion on that and other
topics.
Question of Seliilnir.
The Marshalltown FUh Protective asso
ciation is doing effectlvo work protecting
tho flsh In tho streams along the Iowa river
and tho bayous which become land-locked
at low water. Some time ago persons
claimed the right to catch flsh by seining
In tho bayotfs and tho land-owners claimed
tho right to give consent to persons to
sclno flsh out of the bayous. Tho associa
tion' wroto to Attorney General Mullan for
advice on the matter and has been notified
by him that "no ono has a right to seine
flsh In a bayou that has a naural inlet or
outlet and becomes stocked with flsh from
other waters, and tho person so doing
makes himself liable under the law for tho
protection of flsh and game."
The association Is engaged In removing
flsh from the bayous along the Iowa river
and placing them back In the river, that
they may not die from exposure

Ghost Dancing In Iowa.
Tho Indians on the Tama county Indian
farm are having a great time, owing to a
visit by delegations of Indians from tho
Wlnncbagocs of Nebraska and Wisconsin
and the Chlppewas ot Minnesota. They are
members of n religious organization formed
a few years ago and their demonstrations
consist of dancing what tho white people
call tho ghost dance. They havo dances
which last day nnd night for eight days
nnd aro then laid nsldo for a few days, only
to be taken up again. Dog feasts are also
enjoyed and other ceremonies. Tho danc
ing has no hostile features nnd Is en
tirely harmless, but tho Indians nnd their
visitors recall their savage days in this
manner.

MANIIJA, June IS. One hundred and
fifty former United States soldiers, a ma
jority of them being employes of tho civil
'department, have protested to General
MacArthur against the alleged arbitrary
exercise of discretionary authority ou tho
part of the civil scrvlco board. The law
gives tho hoard discretion to make a rule
requiring the examinations of old employes
nnd 'the borrd has not announced whether
It will of will hot require, these examin
ations. All the petitioners agree to resign
rather than submit lo examinations and
will ncocpt private employment unit us the
mattor (s settled quickly. The members of
the. board say that since no action has been
taken there Is no grievance. General Mac
Arthur has requested the board to trans
mit to him n rule covering the point for
promulgation, nccordlug to law.
Thn members of tho civil board ay they
have taken no action on tho question In
volved, but haNo notified Lieutenant
ColoAel Crowder, tho military governor's
secretary, to send his clerks for examin
ation. Colonel Crowder, in reply, asked for
tho cortlflcatlon of the rule under which
the? examination wns required. Colonel
Crowder says It would be inconvenient to
sparo the men nnd Hint the requirement Is
unduly stringent nt the present Juncture.
Tho correspondent of the Associated
Press asked Judge Taft what the nttltudo
of tho United Stntes commission would be.
Ho replied that officlnlly ho was not aware
that a remonstrance had been made. The
board wns authorized to determine the
question. But, on general principles, If tho
men threaten to resign rather than stand n
reasonable examination, which was not
competitive, 'ho was 'In favor of letting
them resign.
