Dew Tarn in Railroad Tax Litigation in
TJoited Bute Court.
TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO COLLECT TAXES
Attorney ' vright Move to Cuinyl
Union Paciflo and Burllngrton to
Give, Bond for Double tb
By chance remarks of railroad attorneys
that "the city could not collect a cent even
though IX dU win the railway tax cases,"
that contingency has been put In a faM
way to be avoided. The statements by

the as . Of Oty Attorney Wright, who
made 'an ' Investigation, and found under
the ; present status of affairs they were
very likely correct, ', ' He hastened to so
arrange' that the municipality might be
protected and yesterday filed a motion
with. Judgs Munger In the federal oourt
asking hut ,the Burlington and Union Pa
etoo railroads be required to give bonds
for twice the sums involved or drop the
cases.) A hearing will be granted probably
s week from Saturday,
The loophole through which the railroads
hoped t0 crawl In tho event they lost the
tax fight is outlined In the motion. It Is
shown' that the section ot the charter au
thorising the council to provide for the
taxatlan of property omitted in the general
annual levy allows1 such a proceeding only
during the current fiscal year.
Not In This Year's tt.
The railroad axsessments were not In
cluded In the 1903 levy, because, of the tem
porary Injunction secured by the roads.
It is certain that the cases will not be set
tled for many months, and when a decision
Is reached It will be too late for the city to
apply the section mentioned In order to col
lect the money. '
The only alternative that would secure
the taxes would, be to collect on the bonds
furnished by the plaintiffs In the suit. At
torney Wright found that no more than
the amounts nominated could be demanded.
Nothing other than nominal bonds had

were brought, each filing security . In the
sum of $5,000.
Attorney Wright asks that the Union Pa
cific be compelled to file a bond for $136,000
and the Burlington a like document guar
anteeing protection to the extent of 5S,000.
By this means he believes the city will be
amply protected If the case Is won by Its
attorneys.
nolo BrlU Can.
In the RulO brldm eas In th anmraTna
court, brought by the Burlington against
II t . L . .
nuiiianiwn county, tne otty attorney has
asked nermlsslon to file a. briar, .r.uini
the case generally and arguing a new . point
wnicn attacks the constitutionality of the
law Involved. The law In question Is the
same one which the Omaha municipal au
thorities are trying to impeach and which
seeks to compel local assessing boards to
accept the figures of the State Board of
Equalisation In making railroad assess
ments. The Richardson county authorities
assessed the bridge at Rulo as they saw
fit and disregarded the state board's fig
ures, thus inviting a battle by the railroad.
The new point which Attorney Wright
hopes to bring out is thst the law is un
constitutional, because it does not apply
uniformly to all railroads In the state, be
ing applicable to lines extending in two or
more counties only.
Concerning the employment of other
lawyers to assist the city attorney In the
tax fight, thero are no new developments.
Mr. Wright reiterated again yesterday
that be proposed te push the cases to the
best of his ability, whether or not ha was
provided with assistance.

PETITION T0C2AR OF RUSSIA
Copy of B'nal B'rith Docnmeat
Reaches Omaha to Be Circulated
for Signatures.
A , copy of the petition being circulated
by the national society of the B'nal B'rith
has been received by Martin Bugarman,
secretary of the local branch, arid In the
next ten days will be circulated among the
citizens of Omaha Irrespective of race or
creed for the purpose of obtaining signa
tures which will some time after July 20
be sent to Russia by the president of the
United States. The petition, contrary to
general Impression, Is not a protest against
the recent massacre of Jewish people In
Russia, although that massacre Is taken aa
the subject for the petition.
The csar la asked to consider the masxacre
as the result of the deplorable condition
of the Jewish people of his land, and to
take steps to render a repetition of such
outrages impossible by repealing the taws
which discriminate against the Jews. He
Is commended for his action in advancng
the cause of universal peace through the
creation of The Hague court upon his ini
tiative, and Is asked to add to his reputa
tion as a Just and wise monarch by" taking
steps to make Impossible religious persecu
tions both In his own and in all other coun
tries by bringing to the question the spirit
by which he was guided In his efforts to se
cure International arbitration In place of
war. The petition distinctly denies any de
sire to Interfere with the Internal affairs of
Russia except by way of appeal. Similar
petitions are now being circulated In all
parts of the Vntted States and will be
united In one giant petition to be forwarded
to Russia.
PRIMA DONNA FROM BOHEMIA
Madam Matura o( Bohemian National
Theater Will Sins; Her
Sunday.
Madam Matura, prima donna of the
Bohemian National theater of Prague, Is
to sing in Turner hall Sunday evening
under the auspices of the Bohemian Wo
men's society. Madame Matura arrives
Saturday afternoon and will be met by a
committee from Ted'Jel Bokol. During her
visit In the city she will be the guest of
John Rosicky. The prima donna has heard
much of the United States and, during
her summer vacation, decided to make a
short trip through this country.
Passenger TraBJo Decrease,
The exceedingly heavy passenger traffic
of the lust ten dsys has suddenly fallen eft
to below normal. This Is due to the fart
that the low rates are practically over and
many of the regular travelers who were
able to so timed their trips as to com In
on the rates. This has set a deal of the
traffic ahead of Its regular place and it will
b several weeks before passenger circles
reach their normal amount of business

SCR1BNER LOOKS FOR, FLAWS
Union Paoifio Tax Agtnt Inipeoti Board of
Equalization Record." '
COMPANY MAY QUESTION THE TAX LEVY
Equalising Board . Makes a Net In
crease of 370,804 la the Valua
tion Total aa Returned
by the Assessors.
The tax department of th county clerk's
office is now wrestling with th records of
the Board of Equalization as well aa it
can with dozens of people coming in to see
what has been done with their protests
and assessments. One of the inquirers was
A. W. Scribner, tax commissioner of the
Union I'acino Railroad company. He not
only wanted to know what was dona, but
how it was dons', and by investigating a
little found a conflicting record as to the
action of the board in the matter of the
assessment of th Union Pacific. He found
that the protest ' against the assessment
ot the real estate had been marked as dis
missed, this record being signed by Chair
man Connolly, but by no other member,
then he found a resolution adopted by the
board In which a little mora than $80,000
of the $1-00,000 raise upon their total assess
ment hud been distributed upon certain lota
and blocks in the yards of the company at
and near the shops. He made a copy of the
resolutk n and record showing the dis
missal of the complaint against the real
eatate.
Contest Hot Certain.
Asked If the company expected to con
test the payment of these taxes, he said:
"I cannot say at present. Th taxes will
not be due for nearly a year and we will
have plenty of time in wulch to consider
the matter. We will maae a record, so
that we can know just what has been done,
and how the result was determined."
The records show that during Its sitting
the Board of Equalisation added to tho
tax roll $724,088 in the aggregate and mad
reductions from the assessment of $333,284,
leading a net increase in the assessment
over the returns of the assessors of $370,
S04. Of this reduction $100,000 was upon the
Union Pacific bridge, this being the first
year that the local assessment on the bridge
ha ben cancelled, although taxes upon it
have not been paid upon the local assess
ment since 1900. That year the property
was assessed in th First ward at $60,000.
Th next year it was assessed at $100,000,
as it was assessed In 1902 and 1903. Th
assessments for 1901 and 1902 stand aa de
linquent taxes upon the books of ths
treaaurer, the company having refused to
pay then under a decision ot the supreme
court of the state giving the State Board
of Equalization Jurisdiction over such
property
The Bridge Assessment.
Previous to 19U0 the taxes were paid on
the local assessment, the valuation varying
in the last fourteen assessments from $125,
0U0 in 1S90 .o $M.0oo in IXjO. It wa said
by members of tl's board that th reason
for cancelling th bridge assessment this
year la because, while the company will
not pay the tax, the state requires the
county treasurer to turn over to the slate
treasurer th tax on th total assessed
valuation In th county and by cancelling
the assessment the county will save tho
state tax on $100,000, which it paid lor
the last two years.
The levy thl year for county pur
poses is 16.8 mills, as decided upon by the
members of the board several days ago.
This is divided as follows: General fund,
mills; road fund, S.5 mills; bridge fund.
I.S mills; sinking fui:d, 1.6 mm; soiuiers
relief fund, .8 mill. It is believed by a ma
jority of the board that there win De a
considerable surplus in th bridge fund,
as present indications point to an expenil
ture from that fund equaling a levy of
about 1.75 mill. ' The excess is made, con
fessedly for the reason that a -mlll levy
will not raise enough money to pay the
running expenses of the county and the
bridge fund surplus can be drawn upon in
case of emergency.

ing machines by minors a misdemeanor
and prescribes a penalty.
City Prosecutor Tom Lee and Chief of
Police Donahue are united in the deter
mination that the boys shall not be al
lowed to play the machines, and an in
vestigation Is under way that may lead to
the filing of charges against the tobacconists.
