10 THE OMAHA DAILY BEEt WEDNESDAY, MAY 14, 1002. FORTY PER CENT THE BASIS Bo Swear Eerenteen of Tax Commissioner rieming'i Deputies. ALL ATTEMPTED EQUITABLE ASSESSMENT Uwtf Mclntoak Contends that Forty Per Cent Wat the Maadard Aimed at, Althoaah Asses eors Mar Have Erred. Attorney Prltchett'e assertion made be fore the Board of Equalization Monday that the tax commissioner and the Board of Re view did not "employ" the 40 per cent basis of eaiesBmeat. hae received a body blow daring the last tew hours of the hear ing. Attorney Mcintosh has had seventeen of the eighteen deputy assessors on the wit ness stand and each of tbem has testified that he waa Instructed by the tax commis sioner to use 40 per cent as the standard of assessment, and that he did so to the best of his ability. Attorney Pritchett of the gas company is attempting to show that, while they tried to employ the 40 per cent standard, they failed to do so because they were not competent to pass upon the value of all kinds of personal property. Mr. Mc intosh contends that, while they may have erred in judgment, the 40 per cent standard was employed notwithstanding. Monday afternoon eleven of the eighteen deputy assessors were on the stand and yes terday morning six testified. Tax Commis sioner Fleming explained that the eight eenth assessor, W. C. McLean, wsa out of the city. The forenoon session was occupied by the testimony of the following witnesses, all of whom assisted In making the city assess 'meat for 1902: J. D. Nathenson, J. O. Ar thur. George Fltzpatrlck, Peter K. Klev.li, . Klln Svenson and J. John Kowsky. At noon a recess wsa taken until 10 o'clock Wednesday morning, as several members of the board and several officers of the gas company wished to attend the funeral of Dell H. Goodrich, late secretary of the street railway company. The mem bers of the board also wanted time In which to prepare for last night's meeting of the city council. . ' Sample of the Testimony, t Following la a fair sample of the testi mony given by the deputy assessors, J. O. Arthur on the stand: V "What Instructions, If any, did you re ceive from the tax commissioner?" asked Attorney Mcintosh. "He told us to first ascertain the fair cash value ofg the property, and then as sess It at 40 per cent of that time." , "And did yo'i do that?" ; "I did it to the best of my ability." Cross-examination by Attorney Pritchett: "In what ward were you employed as 'assessor?' '"The Fourth ward." "You say you ascertained first the fair cash value of the property. How did you do that?" "Well. I asked the owner how much It was worth, and if I thought be waa telling the truth I would accept bis figures, and 'If I doubted his word I would substitute my own appraisement." "How would you arrive at that appraise ment?" " "I would view the property, estimate the original cost, bow much it bad depre ciated from use, and what it would sell for '"What la your business?" "Well, I've worked on a farm, clerked in a general merchandise store, taught school and practiced law." Thn you don't know much about the value: of say horses, do you?" "My Judgment is as good on horses as Ithat of the average man, I should say." "But you might have been mistaken In your estimates; they might bare been too low or too high." "They might have been." "Did you read the list of questions In the printed schedule to each person whom you assessed?" "Tee, elr, but I aometlmea omitted some of the questions." ."Under what circumstances would you emit a question?" Net Looklna; for Steamboats. "Well, If I aaw a little shanty backed up against a bluff with goata and pigs running around It I wouldn't ask the man who lived there if be owned a steamboat or bonds or other securities." "Did you find any bonds, notes, mortgages or other aecurltlea in your ter ritory?" "I don't think I did." "Or any moneys?" ' '"No, sir." J s , "Did you always view the property?" "No. air. Sometimes tlie woman of the house would slam the door in my face, and aometlmea there would be no one at home. In such cases I would leave a printed blank aad envelope with a request that It be Oiled out, and then I'd get all the informa tion I could about the property from the . neighbors." . The foregoing answers and questlona are .the same in substance as were propounded to and answered by the other seventeen deputy assessors. , The forenoon waa bar ren of any special feature and there was evidence of a general lack of Interest among the board members. At times there waa barely a quorum present. Even the at torneys were less alert than usual and Mr. Prltchett's objections were less fre quent tlan formerly. About 11 o'clock President Karr left the chair and requested Member Hoys to preside. Chairman pre tern Hoye had no opportunity to try his band on overruling or sustaining objeo tioas, but at the ' noon hour he put the motion to take a recess with much parlia mentary tact.

TEACHERS' MORAL INFLUENCE Effect ef Example on Children aa It Appears te an Interested Observer. t OMAHA, May 11. To the Editor or The Bee: What you ssy about Superintendent Pesrse Interests me. Why, so specially? Because very often I am made his alter ego." Many of the school children call me Mr. Pearse. On which side the compli ment rests we let those decide who take any interest in the matter. How does It happen? We certainly have no similarity In appearance. Well! I was a teacher when a young man. Ever since I've tskea a deep Interest in the children and their educstlon. I visit the schools when I can, give a word of encouragement to the kcholars out of school or In It, as I meet them. Now, then, this Is my explanation: The children know that Pearse Is the same of their superintendent, and as they oc casionally see me at school and find ma interested In their education, they think 1 am the superintendent. The majority, however, know my name, for I've often told them. The schools are good. Most all the prin cipals are well educated, experienced and endowed with good sense. They would do their work without any oversight. To my notion some unduly emphasized ceremony or parade. These are few. One of them has for several years called my attention to the splendid Dies and soldierly precision with which they march through the balls. Not once has she told me about any mode of teaching or governing. She doesn't be lieve in leading driving seems her Ideal. The school shows the master's hand. When a principal continues many years In the same building her chsracter ip shown In the children of the neighborhood. Thus It hap pens that some of the most refined, pleas antly polite are in localities where you'd hardly look for such qualities. It Is a pity that the "vice versa" also appears. A noisy teacher, having many commands, will have a noisy school; a rude principal will have much rudeness about the building. Most of the school children north of Farnam street know me. I never pass children without noticing them. .Many ask me often to call on them In school. Some have even asked me "to come and speak a piece" for them. ' Being so widely acquainted, I can raaily And differences. As rule, tbey are courteous wherever met. The affable principal makes the agreeable children. The opposite la un fortunately true, too. Most of the principals would do their work all the same without the outside supervision they have. The exceptions to this rule are few. Education meana draw ing out. This might be more strongly emphasized. Tours truly, L. OROH, Pastor St. Marks. TO SAVE THESHADE TREES Residents A Ion a: SpnJdlaa; Street Ob ject to Sidewalk Ordinance Recently Adopted. Residents of the neighborhood concerned are up In arms against the enforcement of a resolution adopted by the city council last Tuesday night ordering the laying of a six-foot walk Along the south side of Spauldlng street, between Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth avenues. The building of such a walk along the present sidewalk line will necessitate the taking out of a row of handsome shade trees that have at tained considerable age and proportions. City Clerk Elbourn and Bam Farnsworth are now operating actively against the scheme and hope to secure a rescinding of the resolution. They wish the sidewalk made four or five feet wide or not built at all for a time. There Is now a proposition under consideration to narrow the street to twenty.-four feet and repave It, and this would move the lot line and consequently the -sidewalk ' line out aeveral feet and therefore give ample room for the six-foot walk without harming the trees. Resi dents there wish to have the walk matter wait until this la settled. History In av Love Letter, OMAHA. Mar IS. To the Editor of The Bee: With the stimulated Interest In Aaron Burr thla little incident may prove of Interest. It at least casts a side light on his famous trial so far aa one of hla attorneys is concerned. The gentleman, now 76 years old, who gave me the information ,1s a distinguished member of the Iowa bar. He waa admitted to the bar In Maryland. Between the time of his admission to the bar and his be ginning the practice of law he taught school. During this time ha lived in hla native Maryland. It was then fortune threw Into his. way about two bushels of Luther Martin's love letters. These letters of Burr's "great friend'' he was to collate, with a view to preparing a life ef that eminent man. Luther Martin waa one of Burr's counsel. It will be remembered.. From these letters. It appears, according to my friend's ac count, Luther Martin undertook Burr's de fense quite aa much from hla intense dis like for the administration av from any friendship sustained toward Burr. - This famous case virtually appears quite as much a case of federalist versus democrat aa that of the issue actually Joined In the trial. These old letters, so very different from the ordinary billetdous, were clear and Incisive, but quite bitter on the public Issues. So, like human nature, politics In the course of history has undergone but little change. Evolution, like the passing of the century, Is very slow progress. L. M. K. The Beat Liniment. "I nave derived great benefit from the use of Chamberlain's Pain Balm for rheu mat Ism and lumbago," saya Mrs. Anna Hagelgans, of Tuckahoe, N. J. "My bus band used It for a sprained back and waa also quickly relieved. In fact, it ia the best family liniment I bare ever used. I would not think of being without It. have recommended it to many and they always speak very highly of it and de clare Its merits are wonderful.

Below are a few of the most popular styles: NEW MILEAGE PLAN LIKELY TranimiMouri Line Will Probably Adop Interchangeable ejitem. CENTRAL BUREAU TO BE LOCATED HERE Local Offices ef tee Wafeaah Will Be Moved late tke Ceraer Reoaa of Board ef Trade Bundle. If the effort! of General Paasenger Agents John Francis, B. L. Lomax and J. R. Bu chanan of Omaha are auccessful at a meet ing of high officials of all the rail road i of the Transmleaourl district In Kansas City next Friday there will be established In Omaha before July 1 a bureau to handle In terchangeable mileage on these lines, with extensive offices, a commissioner and a force of twenty men. On that date, May 16, these three men. together with Passenger Traffic Manager O. T. Nicholson of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railroad, will present to the Tranamtssourl lines the results of a year's work by them as a committee on this Inter changeable mileage scheme, and tbe loca tion of the headquarters for such a business In Omaha will be consequent upen the ac ceptance of their scheme. The territory Included In this transmls- eourl district Is far more extensive than the. name implies. It embraces all within a line stretching from Billings, Mont., to the Missouri river, along tbe Missouri to the Mississippi, down the Mississippi to the gulf, thence to the west line of Texas, thence north to the Colorado line and Pueblo and Denver; then to Cheyenne, and finally to BHUnge again. Francis Explains Plavn. 'Our plsn," said Mr. Francis, "ia to have Interchangeable script books. These rep resent money. You buy a book contain ing, say, $60 worth of script, and you pay ISO cash for It. Then you can walk up to any ticket office In the district and buy a ticket with this script, just aa If It were coin of- the realm, whether you wish to go three miles or three hundred. 'The Interchangeable plan has been In effect east of us, between the river and Chicago, for several years, though they have a different method there. It has Just been adopted by the transcontinental lines, they having established a bureau cov ering the territory from El Paao west and Colorado common points. It ia time for us to get at It. "Thla interchangeable mileage does not reduce tbe rate per mile any. but it does save money and trouble in another way. where now a traveler must carry about ten mileage books, he will need only one, and he will Lever have any left over, wasted and unused, for It la always good on any road. - When his book Is empty of script he sends it Into headquarters and receives a check for his rebate, whatever the amount may be." Wabash Offices to Move. About June 1 the . local nfflrea f ha Wabash railroad will be moved Into tha first floor corner front of the Board of Trade building, the Identity of tbe future tenants of which has been'a nntlar nf vim. eral discussion and perplexity In railroad and business circles for some weeks. Gen eral Passenger Agent C. S. Crans of the Wabash came to Omaha from St. Louis and consummated the deal. He signed a Ave years' lease at what Wabash officials say is a very Just figure. General A sent Mooree. Is alata4 af th. move. "This change ia most timely," said he. "Simultaneously with bettering our quarters here we will complete the Improve ment of the trackage to Omaha, which baa neen progressing many months.

"There has been a sentiment imnnp tha railroad men here against getting away rrom tne railway office center. We do not feel that way. We are glad to get up on the hill and feel that we i at tha rai bualness center.

DONAHUE FOR EIGHT HOURS Chief Rttirst frees lfatleaal Cenvee tloa Eatkwslaetle fee Three Shift System. Chief of Police Donahue hsa returned from the national convention of Chiefs of Police association at Louisville. Ky. He comes back more than ever a champion of the elght-hour-aday or three-shift plan for tha Omaha police force. He intends to recommend Its adoption by the board at once and hopes to aee it meet with favor. The cblera Idea now. after thoroughly In vestigating the different plena discussed at the convention. Is to have the eight hour work extend to the patrolmen, captains and sergeants, and not te the Jail crew. "The eight-hour syttem certainly glres aatlaractlon wherever It baa been adopt el," said the chief, "and I Intend to do all I can to have It adopted here. The chief of police of Cincinnati told me that It waa much better than the old twelve-hour sys tem and that he got better service from the men. He found, he said, that after a man had bee on hie beat for twelve hours he waa not fit for duty, and 1 believe he Is right. It completely weara a man out and during the last part of the day ha la not able to do what la expected of him. There tbey have a light shift from 7 to 8 o'clock, a larger number from 3 to 11 and the all night ahlft larger than either. I believe our men would prefer to begin an hour later on each ahlft "With the . adoption of the eight-hour system we would do away with the lunch hour and the dinner hour. 'A patrolman would be allowed ten or fifteen minutes to get a lunch and that would be all. He would work atraight through the entire eight hours. We would also do away with the Sunday off. Thla would give a patrol man sixteen hours each day, during which he would have time to atudy up on the ordinances, do gymnasium work and go to church there are many of the patrolmen who would like an opportunity to go to church. Where they have compulsory gym nasium work the chiefs tell me there Is very little alcknesa among the officers and much better service Is eecured. I have not fully decided, however, what plan I will recommend, whether to have another ser geant and captain or Just change the pa- troimena Hours." ATTEMPTS TO ENTICE GIRL Stranger Coaxes Little Girl to Accom pany Bias to Kansas City. An unidentified man attemnted to entice the 12-year-old daughter ef Jm Mun. een, S442 South Fifteenth street, to accom pany mm to Kansas City and after she re fused to listen to htm he followed her several blocks and made repeated attempta to rorce her to go with him. The little girl Informed her-' father and a descrlntlon of the man was given to the police. Tne Mugensen girl was stopped by the man at noon Mnndav at RlTtaanth and Jackson streets. He Immediately asked nor io go to Kansas city with him and said If she would do so be would buy her new dresses and rings and ahe would never have to work, etc. During hla talk ths girl kept walkings and he kept- at her side. When she refused to say anything to him, she aald, he pulled a 15 gold piece from his pocket and offered it to her to go with him. 1 The man then followed her almn.f home and several times caught bold of her and attempted to compel her to come back to town with him. At 7:30 o'clock Monday night tbe man .was seen in the neighborhood of the Mugensen heme. MAIL1 WEIGHING CONTINUES Ramor that! C Railroads Were Not Satlafle& v Welnrhta .. Caaa-at at First. . F. M.

There Is an opinion among -the superintendents that It will end by June. If It ends then It will have lasted ninety days, the longest weigh ing on record In the district. No one out side of headquarters knows why It haa lasted so long, but there la a report In tne service tnat it la because the railroads are not satisfied with the result and that they desire to enow the Inereaas Is more than was shown by the first month's weigh ing.

The puffing and tooting of a locomotive announced the arrival at noon yesterday of the modern Beaucalre, cousin to Louis XV of Frsnce. He eat in tbe rear car of a train of fire. Up ahead of him were two coaches, from which descended the polite English gamblers wlth whom he duels and woos and passes both pleasantries and unplesaantrles every night in etageland. And ahead of these were two baggage cars from which came, in sections, the Bath pump house, the moonlit road where the noble barber stands ground against the six large men coached by the duke of Win- terset, "a little In the background," the elegant vehicle at the side of which he fights, a gray apan to draw It (though not of course In eectlons, as ths horses aro animate realities), the furniture and tapes trlea for the several apartmente in which the smart set centers Its Interest and risks Its principal, the satla suite and lace gowna of the royalty In fact, everything that the exacting mind of Richard Mans field, actor-manager, has settled . on aa necessary In a correct presentation of the pictures suggested by Booth Tarklngton'a dainty book. Attention te Details. Testerday afternoon these properties were hauled to Boyd's theater In' many drays and arranged for the performance of last night Everything that Mansfield uses, even to the lights, are furnished by Mansfield and some time during the day he waa at the play house to aee that all things were where he wanted them. But If the actor Is exacting he Is not boorish nor Inhospitable. When hla busi ness representative, J. H. Dillon, a Jovial man of Faletaff build, but gentler manners, ushered reporters Into Mansfield's presence yesterday morning Mansfield' right hand went out unrestrainedly and his clasp waa hearty. Mansfield ia a busy man. Even as hla car was being switched about In the yarda he waa at work. His living apartment Is airy, or as airy aa a car can be, and all about htm are shelves for books and for flowers. A few small chairs are In the room and one large one, In which he lounges In a loose brown suit, felt clippers and a silk scarf that answers as both collar and tie. On the small table before him an acting version of Julius Caesar waa spread and from it be had been taking aome notes on loose sheets of common white paper. Talk of Next Season's Plans. "I am beginning preparation for next year'a presentation of Julius Caesar and am following my usual plan of reading several versions to help me In arranging my own. It will be my first appearance In the play, but It Is to be only one of a Shakespearean repertoire, which I shall give next season. The others will be Macbeth, Richard III, Merchant of Venice, and possibly others. The summer, after closing ' In Montreal July 4, I hope to apend abroad, but I ahall not atay over a great while. These re ports of my retiring next year are entirely unfounded. I said two years ago that I expected to retire In five years, and that la atlll my plan. After that I may play four weeka In New York, three In Chicago and perhaps two In Boaton, each year, but the rest of my time I shall spend In literary work and perhaps In assisting In the writ ing and staging of plays."
