LINCOLN. May 14. (Bpectal.j Tha State
Board of Equalisation (pent another busy
morning with A. W. Scribner of the Vnlon
Pari flo on the witness stand in a discus-
ion of the value of stocks and bondi be
longing to the Union raclfle proper. Mr,
Bcrlbner did not have tha Information re
quired of him by the board and he u
given time te communicate with the New
York office to get It, The debate hinged on
thla motion made by Treaaurer Mortenaen
aa loon aa the board waa convened. In order
to get the matter properly before the mem
ben;
I move that the Union Pacific Railroad
company be requested to furnish this board
with a sworn statement, giving ina toiai
caDltallsatlon of the said Union Pacltla
Railroad company and toe market value of
Its bon)s and sloe Its on the first day of
April, wot. -The
statement also to show:
1. The total mlleue of aald Union Pacific
Hallway company proper.
2. An itemised statement of the several
bonds snd storks owned by trie said com
v receive creait or oiTsei in Numaimi inu
value of said comDanv for assessment.
I. The market value of all such bonds
and stock or the real value of. same on
tha nrmt da v of An HI 1904.
4. A description and estimated value of
uch property which la subject to local
taxation, eliminating from said report the
mileage. Including all bonds snd stocks
owned by the auxiliary roads, the Oregon
Short Line railroad and tha Oregon Railroad
and xsavlgatlon company.
Scribner Dora Not Know.
Mr. Follmer seconded the motion and the
debate was on. Mr. Bcrlbner eild the reso
lution called for nn impossibility, as the
etocks an J bonds of the company were so
Intermingled that tlier could not We divided
nd that It would be Impossible to learn
the market value oi tha bonds of the Union
Pacific ' proper, been us the bor.de were
considered aa a whole. Union Pacilic suck
having been issued to take up the retired
tock of tha other companies. The three
roads together, the Oregon Short Line and
the Oreg.tn ruil.-oad and Navigation com-
pany, with the Union raclflc. ho said, con
trolled most of ihe business of tke north
west, snd that the condition w.s such that
the bonds and siocks coull not be divided.
' "I have tried to figure it out and have
wasted many hours In tha task without ac
complishing anything," continued Mr.
Bcrlbner. "It is a condition that the etbeks
and bonds are consolidated, and taken
separately It cannot be estimated what the
bonds are worth."
Governor Mickey then thought the con
solidation of the three companies made the
stocks and bond of the Union Pacific more
valuable, which Mr. flcrlbner answered ty
saying that It made the business cf the
companies more valuable.
Mr. Mortenaen, who by this time had
begun to show some signs of being nettled,
aid: '
"In Poor's Manual It gives the correct
statement of all. that I' am asking you.'
"Where did he get hi a Information? Un
doubtedly from a source from which Mr,
Scribner could get the same Information."
When Mr. Bcrlbner had Interrupted to say
that tha manual included some retired
lock on which there bad been no dlvl
trmds paid. Mrj Morjensen. continued: ,
i "You hold 4rpbably V suniired, classes of
securities, and If any are to be deducted
w want to know h. . If any are above par
we want to know. that. We are laying the
foundation for railroad assessment that
probably will Tie followed for years, and It
is the desire of this board to lay the foun
dation right. It Is our business to start
right and that le; what we want to do with
out doing Injustice to any one, and we ap
preciate any Information that the railroads
will give us."
Stocks Baxle of Valnatlon.
'Then I understand that you want to
make the Information the motion calls for
the basis of valuation," said Mr. Scribner.
"Yes, air," answered Mr. Mortenaen, and
Bone of the board contradicted him.
"Then if you will give me a copy of the
resolution," said Mr. Scribner, "I will com
municate with the office In New York City,
because I cannot undertake to furnish you
the figures and neither would I take the
responsibility of trying to figure out what
you desire. But In regard to taking the
capitalisation aa a basis I want to say that
we have tried that and the supreme court
said we could not do it. We were told to
get the value of tha property In use for
taxation," and then Mr. Bcrlbner began to
theorise that If the Board of Equalisation
was a board fixing tha rate to be charged
for transporting freight it would not allow
the road to take Into consideration tha
transcontinental buslneea done to Increase
the valuation of the road, but he was In
terrupted by Mr. Mortenaen. who ssld the
board was not a rate board and that It
waa a condition It bad to face and not a
theory-.
The motion was finally adopted, with two
voices voting for It and none against It
Mr. Weston then announced that he
thought the motion was not broad enough
and he wanted to Include the holdings in
the. Oregon Short Line, Northern Securi
ties company. Northern Pacific, Southern
Pad fie and other companies in which the
Union Peclrlo had holdings.
"AH we want," said Mr. Morteneen. "ia
a report of the Union Paciflo proper."
Then Mr. Scribner .asked If this would
be required of all the roads.
He waa assured by the board member
that all roads would be treated alike. Mr.
Bcrlbner will probably go to New York
himself to get the Information from the
financial office and will report a week from
Monday.
The bA&rd spent tha afternoon digging
cut the value of the tangible property of
the Burlington.
Prisoner Shoots at Sheriff.
A pistol duel between Sheriff Bsu'man of

Suddenly Drannon drew a revolver and
took a shot at the sheriff. He then made
for the front door, slopping once to shoot
In the direction of the sheriff again. Both
shots lodged In the ceiling.
Bauman at oi.ee gave chase and the two
rushed down Eleventh street, the convict
shooting once up In the sir and a second
time direct st his pursuer. The officer re
turned the fire and finally caught hie pris
oner, who surrendered gracefully and al
lowed himself to be handcuffed without re
sistance. Drannon had been sent up for eighteen
months for horse stealing and apparently
waa resigned to bis fste, having given the
sheriff no trouble until they reached the
restaurant. A number of people were on
the streets st the time of the shooting snd
considerable excitement was stirred up.
Mrs. Usuman waa almost on the heels of
her husbsnd when the prisoner wss caught
and she showed as little excitement as the
other twa.

Stories Slssnly Fxkes.
The sensational stories appearing tn Ne
braska and Iowa papeYs to the effect that
Governor Mickey had been sounded on the
question whether he would honor requisi
tion papers issued by the Iowa governor
for the return to that place of Tom Dennl
son of Omaha, Indicted by an Iowa grand
jury, are fakes pure snd simple. No poli
tician has asked Governor Mickey about
the mstter and the governor has not dis
cussed the mstter with any one. When
told of the stories being published. Gov
ernor Mickey said:
"I have not been sounded by any poli
tician or any one else concerning the Den
nlson matter. No one has asked me about
honoring a requisition, and I have not dis
cussed Dennlson or the requisition with
any one. The stories that I have are false
In every particular, without the slightest
foundation."
A Lincoln paper published yesterday
afternoon that the matter would soon be
brought before the governor, and tele
grams sent to Des Moines were to the ef
fect that already the politicians had been
bearing down on the governor to get him
to refuse to honor the requisition. .

WEEKLY SOI MARY CROP REPORT
Corn Planting Nearly Completed and
Oats and Wheat Promising.
WASHINGTON, May 24. The following
la a summary of the weekly crop report of
the weather bureau:
While the fore part of the week was
much too cool in the districts east of ths
Mississippi river, as a whole the tempera
ture conditions were much more favorable
than in the preceding week, tne states of
the Missouri valley nd the Rocky moun
tain and Pacific coast districts experiencing
highly satisfactory temperatures. Gen
erally light rainfall In the central valleys
and over most of the Southern states per
mitted the favorable progress of farm
work, complaints of interruption being con
fined mainly te the upper Ohio valley.
Complaints of wet soil, however, continue
for portions of the central Miasisslppl and
lower Missouri valleys. Drouth continues
in the south Atlantic and east gulf states
and over the southern plateau region, and
the need of rain is beginning to be felt In
central and eastern Texas and on the north
Paciflo coast. Frost, more or less damag
ing, occurred on the 16th and 17th in the
lake region, upper Ohio valley and middle
Atlantic states.
Corn planting has advanced very favor
ably, except In portions of the central Mis
sissippi and Ohio valleys, where it haa
been prevented by wet soil. In Iowa, Ne
braska and Kansas planting Is nearly com
pleted, but In Missouri it is only about
one-half finished and much remains to be
planted In the Ohio valley, where this work
has been greatly delayed. In the central
and east gulf states corn Is backward, but
has made good growth in Texas. Cut
worms have proved -ery destructive in
Kentucky, Tennessee and portions of the
middle Atlantio state.
Winter wheat has advanced favorably in
Nebraska and Kansas and generally In
Missouri, but in portions of the last named
state the outlook is somewhat less promis
ing. Improvement Is reported from Illinois.
Michigan and Ohio, where, however, the
condition of the crop Is very povr. In the
middle Atlantio states the crop has made
satisfactory progress and a general Im
provement Is also noted. On the Paciflo
coast winter wheat sustained slight damage
from drying w.nds ,n California, but the
crop contlnueo to do well In Oregon and
Washington.
Spring wL-is.t seeding Is practically fin
ished, excert n Nrth Dakota, where It Is
well advanced and the early sown is com
ing up and stoo ing well. In southern Min
nesota. Montana and on the north Paciflo
coast rain is needed to germinate the late
sown. j
The general outlook for oata In the princi
pal oat-producing states is promising.
