( The Real Estate exchange descended on
the Board of Review yesterday morning In a
body and caused John W. Uattln and E.
Zabrlskle, the two members of the board
who voted for a reduction in the assessment
of the Omaha Street Railway and Omaha
Gas companies, to grant protesting taxpay
ers a hearing bfore the assessments of
tho two corporations are definitely fixed.
Tax Commissioner William Fleming, who
opposed tho reduction of the assessments
of the two corporations In question, moved
to reopen the discussion and allow the ex
change to present Its arguments. Uattln
and Zabrlskle, tho other two members of
tho Hoard of Review, objected, but were
finally forced ,to yield to the demands of the
real estate men and agreed to give them a
hearing Friday afternoon following the
consideration of tho Omaha Water com
pany's assessment.
"File your objection with the board and
wo will consider them," Mr. IHttln pro
tested, but this was not satisfactory to the
protesting exchange. A hearing was do
tnanded and compromise) waa out of the
question. The members of the exchango re
fused to discuss tho reasons for raising th
two assessments In controversy. They were
before the board to have a hearing and
would not be contented with anything else.
Finally Yield the Point.
"It Is a duty you owe to the public. A
board has no light to Ox values without
giving tho public an opportunity to hivo a
hearing," the real estate men contended.
And these contentions were backed up with
a determination to stay with the board until
their request was granted. It was evident
that the cucchange mcmbors would not leave
until they gained their point, so the re
luctant members of the board gavo In as a
last resort.
The Heal Estato exchange committee
which appeared before the Hoard of Review
consisted of W. II. Orcen, F. D. Wcad,
Ilyron It. Hastings, S. P. Doatwlck, Charles
I. Saunders, Charles C. (Jeorge and 0. F.
Harrison. These men wore reinforced by
W. 0. Shrlvrr and a number of other acttvo
members of tho exchange.
Previous to addressing the Board of Re
view the real estate men filed the following
protest In writing:
To Wllllnm Fleming. 13. Zabrlskle and
J. W. Rutin. Composing the Members of
the Hoard of Itovlew Gentlemen: We, tha
undersigned taxpayers, nnd n committee
for the Omaha Heal Kstatti exchange, wish
to protest against tho action of the Hoard
of Hevlew In reducing the assessments of
the Omaha Street Hallway company and
tho Omaha Gas company, December 10,
IW1, without n more extended hearing, and
the opportunity being given for competent
wltnee-.es to testify as tn the actual present
aluo of tho properties of the corporations
nbovo named. We therefore respectfully
nsk thnt the matter be reopened for further
hearing, nnd that Friday, December 13,
1W1. at 3 o'clock p. m., or some other con
venient .time thereafter, be set as u time
for hearing on said assessments.
This was supplemented by short speeches
by all tbe members of the committee. The
tenor of all the addresses was the same, a
scathing denunciation of a board of review
which refuses to grant the public an oppor
tunity to show why corporations should be
compelled to Ucarnhe Ir'sharo of taxation.
.UKr Company Imtet.
Tho protest of tbe American Sugnr and
neflnlng company against Its assessment
made, by Tax Commissioner Fleming on a
valuation of (125,000 was considered. Mr,
Fleming has levied this assessment on sugar
in transit. The board did not orrlvo at any
decision concerning this assessment.
A hearing was granted the Nebraska
Telephone company, the New Omaha Thorn
son-Houston Electric Light company and
the banks yesterday afternoon. Friday aft
crnoon the Omaha Water company will have
Its hearing previous to 4 o'clock and after
, that will come tbe reconsideration of the
disputed assessments of tho street rail
way and gas companies. Mr. Fleming fixed
the assessment of the street railway com
pany nt IS2T.000 and the other two members
of tho board of review voted to reduce the
assessment to J475.000. The Oas company's
assessment was fixed by Mr. Fleming at
1720,000 and was reduced by action of tbe
board to 380,000.
"I am glad to sec the active Interest
the Real Eatato Exchango is taking in tho
taxation of corporations,' said Council
man Zlmman. "It seems that the public
has finally awakened to Its duty tn this
matter and will force the board of review
and council to do their duty. If the board
of review does not raise tho assessments
of the street railway and gas companies 1
feel sure the council will raise them. Tho
public will not allow the corporations to
dodge their taxes any longer."

CATARRH
Catarrh has become such a common
disease that a person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. It is customary to speak of Catarrh
as nothing more serious than a bad cold,
a simple inflammation of the nose and
throat. It is, in fact, a complicated and
very dangerous disease ; if not nt first, it
Very soon becomes so.
The blood is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, aud the poison through
the general circulation is carried to all
parts of the system.
Salves, washes and sprays ore unsatis

aud eliminates from the system all catar

Review took this offer under consideration.
F. A. Nash appeared before the Board of
Review yesterday afternoon and asked to
have the assessment of the New Omaha
Thomson-Houston Electric Light company's

CHICAGO. Dec. 12. (Special Telegram.)
Four of tho leading lights In tho new
American Association of Professional Base
Ball Clubs, President Thomas J. Hlckey,
C. H. Havener. W. H. Watklns and H. D.
Quln, came to Chicago today to talk over
their plans In connection with the organ
ization. Tonight tho four men -decided
thero was absolutely no possibility that tho
league can fall.
"We will go ahead, regardless of what
any other league does," said President
Hlckey. "We aro not looking for a fight
with anybody and we do not Intend to dls
turb nnybody. Our plans are all made and
eight American association teams will start
playing base ball when the tap of tho
bell Is sounded at tbe opening of tho sea
son of 1602."
Quln nnd Watklns are members of tho
committee on bylaws and constitution and
tonight they were working on tho revision
of these tn meet the later needs of the
league, which have become apparent since
the organization was launched.
"This league came into existence Octo
ber 10," said Mr. Hlckey. "At that time
we decided to cut away from the minor
Inagucs and place ourselves on the same
standing as tho National and American
leagues. The action of Pat Powers makes
no difference. That was Just a little spltc
work and, as a matter of fact, I had re
signed before the so-called expulsion came."
Most of the l'lnjrrs MkiiciI.
The American association will have a
team in .Milwaukee, whero Havcnor nnd
Quln own the franchises, and In Kansas
City, where Tebeau holds sway. There Is
no doubt about this, tho magnates say.
Watklns will be at Indianapolis, and there
Is plenty of money back of tbe Toledo
and Columbus clubs. Practically all of the
clubs have been signed and it was said
today by Mr. Watklns that ho never saw
tho time when tljere wero so many first
class ball players to be found. In addi
tion to the cities mentioned there will be
clubs in Omaha, St. Taul and Minneapolis.
The association expects to have a fight
with tho Western lenguo nt some of the
cities, probably Kansas City, Omaha nnd
Milwaukee, but President Hlckey declares
he does not fear tho outcome. "We own
our parks," he says, "and so wo havo tho
upper hand.",
Crlsl In ICnnsn City.
KANSAS CITY. Dec. 12. (Special Tele
gram.) The base ball situation In Kansas
City will be simplified tomorrow, when
the lease on Exposition park will be given
either to James H. Manning of tho Western
league or to George Tebeau of the Amer
ican association. Both men havo made
offers for the park, which is the only avall
ablo ono here with adequate street car
facilities for a first-class ball park, and
tho ono that gets the lease will havo far
nnd away tho best of the argument In case
two clubs are located here.
Tebeau heard that Manning was after
the park and made a bid, accompanied by
the caBh for n year's rental. Tonight Man
ning deposited a certified check with the
Metropolitan Lund company, which has tho
leasing of the park, also for one year's
rental. Friends of Tebeau concede that If
he docs not 'secure Exposition park it
would be tempting fortune to put a club
In hero to strive for patronage. Tho same
condition holds good as regards Manning,

to Stop AiikIIhk ThrooKli
the Ice.
The arrival in Omaha Wednesday of Chief
Deputy State Game Warden George H. Simp- ,
kins and Deputy W. J. O Brlcn. both of Lin
coln, Is taken as a warning hint to the Qsb
poachers who ever) winter busy themselves
at Cut Off lake.
The bass season closed the last day of
October, but ns soon as the ice is firm
enough It Is anticipated that the lake's sur
face will be, .is In former years, punctured
at many places by lawless Waltons who,
with mlunows for bait, will catch Just as
many of the bass family as they can before
some minion of the law arrives to scatter
them. In past years theso scatterments
have not been of very frequent occurrence,
but it is said that this winter the lako Is
to bo given particular attention by the
wardens.
The seiners will bo watched for also. It
has been n favorite method of theirs to cut
three holes In the Ice and thread gill and
trammel nets through them, making large
catches with comparatively little danger,
as the holes can bo choked and covered
through the day and the nets drawn at night
by a quick haul, This plan Is not prac
ticable until tbe slush ice Is displaced by
the firm freeze, but the deputy wardens nre
said to be already laying plans for the cap

sion, "no base ball history was made as
the outcome of the war of words."
Two sessions, each of several hours' du
ration, were held, ns usual. Tno first was
called at 3 o'clock and lasted until 6. The
evening session began at S o'clock and was
not over until late tonight.
It was said that tho syndlcnto baso ball
scheme, which was defeated yesterday, was
brought up again todny and that over this
the magnates argued pro and con, John T.
Ilrush hading In the debate. Strenuously
opposed to this measure were tbe Brooklyn,
Philadelphia, Pittsburg and Chicago mog
nates. Hehlnd Urush were nrrayed tho men
from Uoston. New York and St. Louis. Tbe
chances that tho Drush combination will win
a victory nre said to bo very small.

It Is believed that some kind of a com
promise is all that Ilrush can expect.

Tho tlgnlflcauco of their presence could
not be learned tonight. Krecdman has de
manded that the league make good his J2.500
guarnnteo for carrying Manhattan field. By
this It will be seen that Manhattan field did
not make a cent the past season. Two years
ago Freedman forced the magnates to pay
the rental of Manhnttan field on tho ground
that if it was not carried nlong by tho New
York club sorao rlvnl organliation might
slip In and secure tho grounds.
Tbe meeting adjourned at 11 o'clock. Pres
ident Young said there was nothing for pub
lication. It was said, however, by one of
tho league magnates that during the night

with n result that the deadlock continued,
tho vote standing 4 to 4.
I'llilit Fnll to Take Plnee
A crowd of local sports was given nn in
teresting time Inst night searching for n
tlstic contest that wns scheduled to take
place In n downtown resort between two
local featherweights. It was rumored that
an Italian newsboy named Plctro Maui
w'i? 1 m,ot n colored shoe-shlnlng youth
called Moso Washington for ten rounds
I' ear of police Interference, however, caused
the abandonment of the bout, although It
was given out to tho talent thnt It would
be foucht at nnother location. Every ono
trooped down to the second supposed arena,
only to discover that It had been again
spirited away several blocks. Finally the
truth became known, nnd the sports went
home disgruntled, while no one ever caught
a glimpse of Mose or Iietro.
