(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. April . (Special.)-By th
provision of the new revenue law today
was the time fixed for the railroad of the
slate to return their assessment blank
filled out and aworn to to the State Board
of Equalization, but up to 4 o'clock not a
road had complied with the law and It waa
not expected that any of them would. The
law provides a penally for failure to re
turn the schedules by April 15, but owing
to the new schedulea and the trouble to se
cure all the data required the roads have
asked for a continuance, and the penalty
clause will not be enforced. It is expected
that the returns will not all be la for sev
eral days.
The American Tank and Freight Line
Car company filed Its returns today, show
ing that Its cars traveled in NebraFka dur
ing the year ending March 31, lS.iOt miles,
and that It had a total of 240 cars In use,
tank and box cars, valued at loOO for new
cars, tx0 for second-hand cars and $123 for
the bos cara.
Monday, May 2, the board, which by the
terms of the new law Is now composed of
Governor Mickey, Treasurer Mortensen,
Auditor Weston, Land Commissioner Foll
mer and Secretary of State Marsh, will
meet In the office of the governor for the
purpose of fixing a value for assessment
purposes upon railroad property in the
Mate. Mr. Fullmer and Mr. Marsh have
never before been parts of the board. Dur
ing the lut few months Mr. Follmer has
compiled a statement of land values
throughout the state, and has secured a
record of sales of land In many of the
counties, that will be of material aid to
the board in its work of fixing an equitable
assessment on all property. Mr. Follmer
has found that In many Instances land has
been assessed at Its actual value or more
and in other Instances a material Increase
will have to be made to bring the value up
to what It should be.
In the matter of fixing the value of rail
road property tho board has authority un
der the law to find out every dollar's worth
of property owned in the state, besides re
quiring the roads to make sworn state
ments as to what each has the board has
authority to make its own Investigations.
The roads must also turn in all moneys,
credits, franchise), gross earnings, net
earnings and the dividends declared for
the year in which the assetsment is made,
Humor of Important Decision.
It has been reported, however, that the
United States supreme court rtcen ly
handed down an opinion that state boards
cannot take Into consideration the capital
stock and gross earnings of a road in ar
riving at Its value. This opinion, how
ever, has not yet been tiled with the
board.
Very little talking has been dene con
cerning the assessment of railroad prop
erty and whether anyone will appear be
fore the board and present argument to
have the assessment Increased has not yet
been announced. Last year an array of
argument and facts was placed before the
board, but no material results were noted.
Secretary Bennett has been interpreting
the revenue law literally to the county as
sessors, but whether It will result in bring
ing to light mora property owned by the
railroads will not be known until afttr the
board adjourn. This interpretation by the
secretary has occasioned considerable pro
test, many claiming already that the law
Is unjust. Mr. 'Bennett holds that the
law will work no hardship if the county
commissioners in the various counties will
watch their appropriations and keep the
levy low. Much more property will be
brought to light under the new law than
formerly and a low levy can readily follow.

KILLKD FOR KNOWING TOO MICH
Dodge Connty Sheriff Throws Light
on Mnrder.
FREMONT. Neb., April 15. (Special.)
The unknown man who was found dead
near Ifumphrey about two weeks ago has
been identified by Sheriff Bauman as a
man who was released from the county
Jail on March 26 after serving a ten
days' term for vagrancy and being a sus
picious character. He gave his name as
Rogers. He was arrested In company with
a man who gave his name us John Kelley,
and after spending the night In the city Jail
the pulr was ordered out of town. They
didn't go and were again arrested and sen
tenced by the police Judge to ten days in
the county Jail. While serving their time
they had some trouble and according to
some of the other prisoners Kelley said
to Rogers: " you; you know too much
about me. Ill kill you the first oh unco
I get." The sheriff was of the opinion that
both were crooks and put them through a
thorough sweating process without eliciting
aaV particular Information. Before exam
ining the body of the dead man at Lin- j
coin he saw the clothes the man wore
when killed and identified them from the
contents of the packets as those worn by
Rogers when in jail here.
Finally I went to
one of the most cele
brated specialists In
the West, and he told
me I had an unusu
ally bad case of urlo
acid poisoning caused
