LOOKING INTO THE- BANK VALUATIONS Real Estate Marked Off of Assess, ments and Rebate for lalted States Honda Owned up for Consideration. The aldermen, sitting as a board of re view, spent another afternoon yesterday wrestling with the assessment. Having succeeded Wednesday afternoon In classi fying to a certain extent the assessment rolls, the board yesterday took up the in dividual assessments with a view to equal izing them. This "equalizing" process waa applied to most 'of 'the' wholesale' Imple ment firms and before the board adjourned for the day about 150.000 bad been added to their assessments. The board declined to make public any figures, as one of the ald ermen atated that "they would probably take It all bark again before they got through, but, neverthlesa, we are making a bluff at It." When the assessment of the banks came up for discussion Alderman Lougee stated that it appeared to him the banks had charged off a large amount of real estate so that it doea not appear in their assets and he thought the board ought to know whether this real estate was assessed else where. Another question In connection with the assessment of the banka came up when City Solicitor Snyder gave it aa his opinion that they were not entitled to an offset for government bonds and he recommended that the claim for auch offsets be denied and the assessment as returned by Assessor Everest stand. Such a course, he said, would give the banks an opportunity to ap peal, but the city would have no appeal from Its own action. In this connection, be stated that a case was now pending before the state supreme court from Keokuk county Involving tbla question, and until this was decided the city had better let the assessment stand and not allow the offset claimed by the banks. Outside of the implement bouses none but minor changes were made yesterday In the assessment. The board will meet again this afternoon and expecta to complete Its work by Saturday. COUNTY WANTS TO HAVE SAY Foots Smallpox Bills and Deslrea Blda from Physicians Seeking; the Job. As the county has to foot the bills, the Board of Supervisors took the position yes terday that the city Board of Health before entering into any contracta for the care of smallpox patients should first submit the contract to the county board for Its approval. As a starter In this direction a resolution was adopted to the effect that the city Board of Health be requested to advertise for bids from physicians for tned clal ' attendanee on smallpox patlenta. in cluding other persons who may be In bouses quarantined and who need medical attend ance, contract to run from April 12, 1902, , to April 12, 1903. Physicians bidding are to specify the total remuneration they will accept for treating all cases which may occur and for which the county would be liable. Attached - to the resolution was a rider to the effect that all auch bids be submitted to the county board for its ap proval. Mayor Morgan and Alderman McDonald, as a committee from the city Board of Health,' conferred with the county board respecting the employment of a physician to care for smallpox patlenta and submitted the proposition of Dr. P. J." Montgomery, who offered to treat all such city cases for $25 a case. County Physician Stephenson, in consultation with the board, recom mended that the offer of Dr. Montgomery be not accepted and that physicians be in vited to submit bids. Acting on Dr. Stephenson's advice the board adopted the resolution asking the city health board to advertise for bids. Mayor Morgan and Al derman McDonald stated they were of the opinion that the city health board would raise no objection to submitting the blda as desired. In the afternoon the supervisors went to Lake Manawa. where the motor company has asked that a portion of the old county road running along the lake be vacated. The road on both sides of the piece now asked to be vacated bas been abandoned. The motor company is said to own all the property abutting on the road, and the board, it is expected, wlil grant the re quest. The road fund for this year waa appor tioned among the membera of the board to be expended In their respective districts as follows: Baker, 14,405; Brandes, $2,188.35; Bullls $1,628: Dryden, 11.806.45; Kerney, $1,574.13. Hereafter all matters of repairs to county bridges or fills to replace bridges where the expenae exceeda $100 will have to be referred to a committee. Kerney, Bullls and Brandes comprise the committee for the east and of the county and Dryden, Baker and Brandea for the west halt. Heretofore bridges have been built and re- Dalred. no matter what the cost, at the discretion of the supervisors individually. Davis sells glass. Gravel roofing, A. H. Read. 641 Broadway.

Education at a special meeting yesterday adopted the. plans of Cox ft Schoentgea, architects for the four- room addition to the Pierce street school. Ostensibly the building ' faces on Pierce street, but owing to the high embankment the children use the entrance at the south end facing Voorhla street. The addition will face south and will give what Is really the rear of the building a finished appear ance. The addition will be two stories In belght, with an ornate vestibule entrance. Provision will also be made In the old part for an entrance oa the east and west sides. There will be no basement under the new addition owing to the rise IB the ground south of the old building. The estimated cost of the addition will be about $10,000. D. Maltby, appointed night captain of police by Mayor Morgan, resigned as Jani tor of the Madison avenue school and a man named Simpson was appointed In his place. The resignation of Miss Hattle Ferrler. teacher in the Third street school, was ac cepted. The board decided that It was not necessary to appoint anyone In her place for the remainder of this echoofyear. Member Gorman reported that complaints were made that the children transported from the outlying district at Woodbury avenue to the Third street school were aa- coyed by boys along the route who used bad language toward them. The secretary vw mueVt4 64 Uuimst U sVlTM 9t tad conveyance to notify the boys that unless they behaved themselves they would be prosecuted.

McLean, who was run down and killed by a motor Wednesday at midnight on the Omaha-Council Bluffs line, the cor. oner'a Jury returned a verdict to the effect thst McLean came to his death while wan dering on the tracks of the motor com pany and that no blame was attached to the company.

Between Thirty-eighth and Thirty seventh streets McLean succeeded In pull ing the bell cprd and the motorman stopped the car, but' kept the gates shut until a westbound car had passed. When last seen by the witness McLean was walking south on Thirty-seventh street. French also testified that McLean appeared con siderably excited arid as If not altogether In bis right mind. Motorman W. H. Poncelow of the car which etruck McLean testified that bis car was running about fourteen miles an hour at the time of the accident. He saw Mc Lean on tho track when within about fif teen feet of htm. He sounded the gong, reversed the motor, dropped the fender and applied the brakes. McLean, he said, was walking with his bead down and near the outer rail. The fender caught him and his head and shoulders struck the cushion of the fender. McLean was thrown about ten feet to the north side of the track. The witness said be stopped the motor In about two car lengths. When McLean was picked up be was apparently dead.

The park commissioners have decided to carry out some improvements In Baylies park this year. Several of the large trees which show signs of decay will be cut down and steps will be taken to preserve the others. New trees will be planted to take the place of the ones cut down and will be placed far' enough apart to prevent their shade from Injuring the grass. It Is also proposed to cover the entire park with a layer of about twelve inches of fresh soil. This will Involve the ex penditure of a large sum of money, so this year only one section' will be so treated. The portion facing on Sixth street will probably be. the first, to be improved this way. ...'.' The board will visit Falrmount park this afternoon and determine what Improve ments shall be carried out there.

OUT TALKS WISCONSIN Wins the Debate on the Qaeatlon of Branch Banka and an Asset Currency. IOWA CITY. la., April 11. (Special Tele gram.) The University of Iowa won tho fourth annual debate with Wisconsin on the branch bank system question tonight. Iowa affirmed and argued that to allow na tional "banks to establish branches would give greater economy, efficiency and co-operation in banking and would lead to the establishment of a defendable asset cur rency needed by rural and western com munities.

A prize essay written last summer for a sound currency for the National Banking Journal by the closing speaker for the negative, arguing for branch banka, was quoted with great effect by Iowa against the negative. The Judges were Judge J. C. Pollock of Topeka, Kan.; Prof. Taylor of Ann Arbor, Mich., and Hon. L. A. Goddard of Chicago. Can Kill Birds to Stnfr. WATERLOO. Ia.. April 11. (Special Tel egram.)

' REPORTS ON CIVIL AFFAIRS Statements of Administration for Philippines Offered by Majority and Minority. ft X. April 'II.' WASHINGTON. April 'II. The report of the houpe committee on Insular affairs on the bill for the administration of civil af fairs In the Philippines was filed today by Chairman Cooptr. It says now is an opportune time to make a definite promise to the Filipinos that they shall have a share In the central govern ment of the Island. As to the slavery the report says: 'The problem presented Is one not to be solved by eloquent denunciation of the sys tem of slavery nor by mere declamation cenrernlng the blessings of liberty. Its proper solution demands tactful methods which shall be at the same time Just and practicable." The report devotee much attention to the advantages of the proposed coinage sys tem based on the gold standard, which dif fers from the silver system proposed by the senate bill. The continuance of the silver standard In any form which does net raise the coin to a fixed parity with gold is pointed out to be subjected to the same objections now made by the business community of Ma nila against the existing system. The democrats filed a minority report, which amounts to a declaration of policy on the Philippines. It says In part: The chief ouegtion Involved is whether under the guise of the forms of civil gov ernment a nollcy unjust and cruel to the Jeople of the l'hillplne Inlands and In urloun and hishonorinK to American citl- senshlp shall be Indefinitely, if not pcr nptiiallv. continued, or there shall be sub stituted in its stead a more righteous and humane policy, the intent and purpose or which Is to confer upon these people within the shortest practicable period and upon reasonHnie ana proper terms an autonomous system of free self-government based upon the principle of inde pendence, which, after the lHpse of a rea sonable period to afford trtilnlng and ex perience, shall eventually lupae Into an un qualified and absolute Independence. BISHOP O'GORMAN AT CAPITAL Declines to Kxpreas Opinion on Fntnre Status of C atholics In Philippine Islands. WASHINGTON, April 11. Bishop O'Gor- man of Sioux Falls, S. I., called at the War department today and had a short talk with Secretary Root with relation to the present and future status of the church in the insular possessions of the United States. The bishop bad nothing to say as to the extent of his powers In these matters, but It Is a fact that in the face of the existing vacancy in the post of archlbshop of Ma nila there is no one else to speak to the authorities here upon these questions ex cept Bishop O'Gorman and Mgr. Sharretti, the latter fresh from the Vatican. It there were an archlbshop of Manila the disposi tion of the authorities would be to deal with him directly In the matter, inasmuch as he would be the one person legally em powered to transfer title to the frairs' lands, which are, nominally held In his name. But in the absence of such a legal custodian at Manila It may become neces sary for the United States government to deal with the Vatican either directly at Rome, through Governor Taft, when he returns to Manila from the United States or here at Washington through some of the prelate duly anthorlred to act.
