RESTRAIN TAX COLLECTIONS Northwestern and Omaha Boadi Follow Burlington anl Onion Pacifio ALSO RESTRAIN CITY LEVY FOR 1934 Order Prevents Tax Commissioner from Making; an Assessment In leas He Takes Valuations Fixed by State Board. Tax Commissioner Fleming and City Treasurer Hennlngs have been enjoined. In a temporary restraining order Issued by Judge Munger. First From attempting to collect taxes from the Chicago & Northwestern, or the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha roads, on the valuations placed upon their property by the city, or at any higher rate than the valuation placed upon It by the state board. Second From lev lug any taxes upon the property of such roads for the year 1904 on a higher valuation than Is placed upon such property by the Btate board. The papers were served upon the two of ficials named yesterday morning. No date is set for the hearing on the order. Tax Commissioner Fleming was some what disgusted when he read the order, and expressed himself to that effect. It was bad enough for the railroads to go into court to prevent the collection of the city taxes levied upon them, but they were going considerably too far, In his opinion, when they started out to prevent the city from levying taxes. City Attorney Wright said the case would Involve the validity of the new revenue law and of the section of the charter govern ing the assessing of railroad property. The order did not go materially further, as he understood the matter, than similar orders secured some time ago by the Union Pacific and Burlington roads. The Northwestern and Omaha roads had not enjoined the col lection of the taxes for 19u8 to the making of the levy, but were now following the lead of the other roads, and simply brought lnt'4 i. , case.

WILL LEARN HOW TO SHOOT Policemen Will Go Out on Broad nnd Open Prairie and Prnctlee. the In a few days, probably the first of next week, semi-monthly pistol practice will be Indulged in by tne members of the police department. . This has been In contempla tion for some time and now arrangements have about been completed for the first shoot. Chief of Detectives Dunn believes he will be able to get the grounds near old Fort Omaha for the shoot. The chief of detectives believes that all police officers should be good shots with the revolver. "If we get this practice Inaugurated," he said, "It will not be long before a policeman will be able to tell whether he strikes the man he Is shooting at or some one a block away. Every police officer should know how to shoot, and shoot straight, and for that reason we Intend to hold this practice every two weeks. After a while, probably, we will offer prizes for the best shot." TREASURY TO CLOSE ONE DAY City Taxpniers Who Wnnt to Save Penalty May Pay Before Wednesday. The city treasury will be closed Wednes day, July 1. The announcement Is made at this time by Treasurer Hennlngs so that those who desire to save the 1 per cent penalty may get in line early Monday and Tuesday.

BOOKS TO BE FOR TWO THOUSAND MILES Some of the Roads East of the River May lUoVtdopt Interchange able Ticket Instend of Credential Book. An arrangement has been reached finally by all of the roads west of the Missouri river now using the scrip ticket to have an Interchangeable mileage book. It will be for 2,000 miles. It is understood that It will also be put In use east of the river to supplant the present mileage credential book, although the roads using the present credential book are not agreed as to this. If it Is put lu use east of the river It la doubtful if the Rock Island and some of the other roads will combine In the use of It. The scrip ticket has never been popular, as It was clumsy and had few real ad vantages over the single ticket system and effected only a partial saving In coat. On the other hand, the credential book proved too popular. It cost only 1 and there was a rebate of M If the 2,0u0 miles were used up. Many bought the credential books where they would not have bought a mile age book and saved the S2o while they only risked 1 If they did not use the full 2.UO0 miles. Local travel over the lines using the credential books naturally Increased, but the number of persons traveling on 2-cent mileage increased more rapidly than the total number of persons traveling. With the new mileage books there Is an expenditure of fGO at the outset and only those who use mileage on a large scale will Invest. So the purpose of the credential book and the1 scrip ticket will be subserved with the mileage book and the loss to the railroad and the Inconvenience to the patrons will be done away with largely. The Rotk Island Is set against there be ing any change from the credential book and has given notice to the Western Pas senger association tha' it .wl'l' w; ti'lraw from all ' Bure-m a : . f ll.e w OF THK RKLIABLF.

WANTS TO SEE THE RECORDS Attorney for Joy 8ntphen Says school Board Refnses to Ac commodate Htm. The attorney for Joy Sutphen wants to get an opportunity to examine the records of the Board of Education and the officers of the High school. Ills right to do so will be decided by Judge F.stelle after a hearing which will be held Monday. Yesterday when the caBe of Sutphen against the Board of Education was called the hearing was set for Thursday because of the temporary absence of the attorney, for the board, while the heating on the ap plication of the attorney for the High school pupil was set for Monday. The attorney claims that he went to the office of the Board of Education and asked for the records of the work of the pupils of Sutphens' class and the memorandum kept by the officers of the school upon which the Issuing and refusal of the diplomas were based and that he was not permitted to see these records. The secretary of the board said the public records were at the service of the attorney and these public records are all that he knows anything about. J. P. Breen, who was representing the board for the time, said there must be some mistake thout the matter, as there are no records other than the public ones preserved, and the attorney for young Sutphen Is asking for something which does not exist.
