Leussler of the Omaha A Council Bluffs Street Railway company ap peared before the Board of Review Mon day and . announced , that hla company wished to object to the personal assessment of $8,000,000, made by Tax Commissioner Fleming. In accordance with the promise made to the tag committee of the Real Estate es rhange no hearing was allowed until the committee waa notified.-. The members of the latter appeared at the city hall at once, laden with figures expected to more than smother the contentions of the cor poration, but Secretary Leussler had gone and did not reappear. No written protest has been filed. President Nash of the Omaha Electrle Light and Power company has been cited to appear and show cause why the per sonal assessment of the oorporatloa should not be raised from t70,000 to 1. 00,000. E. A.- Cudahy appeared before the board, accompanied by two lawyers, Oeneral John C. Cowln aad Tom Creigh, and secured a personal assessment of 160,000, although the Willis I And company had asked for 11,900, (100. Mr. Cudahy took the stand himself and answered all questions put to him. His return was for 146.16&, Including all stocks held In foreign corporations except !S0 ahares of stock In the Cudahy Packing company, which he declared worth $25,000. Ha had Included $5,000 In bank stocks which was not assessable against him, and this was subtracted, tearing 137,166 on bli vol untary return. Right ta Assess Merk. A long oontrorersy ensued as to the right of the board to assess the Cudahy Packing company stock In view of the fact that the plant In Bouth Omaha Is assessed by ' the county and Bouth Omaha. Tax Com missioner Fleming bald that the law re quired the assessment, because the capital stock of the company Is not taxed In Ne braska, while Mr. Cudahy'a attorney con tended that the packing plant Itself was equivalent to the capital stock. The board finally agreed that $30,000 would be a fair personal assessment for Mr. Cudahy, but Mr. Fleming Insisted upon the assessment of the stock as a matter of prlnalple. This was done after Mr. Cudahy'a sworn returns as to the value of Ms household goods and Jewelry had been cut nearly In two. It being the first case on record where a property owner's sworn figures were ' reduced. Last year Mr. Cudahy waa assessed at $2?,H(. The assessment against Wright AY Wll helmy was fixed at tm.teo. The assessment of the Pajtton block waa made $350,000, or $19,000 more than last year, but $2t.O0O las than Tax Commissioner Fleming's appraisement. The New York Life building waa asxessed at $616,000, or $1,009 better than last year, but $20,000 under the tax commissioner's figures. The Be building waa assessed at $$76,000, the sama as last year, but a cut from the . commissioner's figures of $16,000. Repre sentatives appeared for each piece of realty and protested against the assessments. Caaaell Ceavewes as Board.

LAWYERS ADDRESS THE JURY Attoraeye Make Flaal Pleas la Case af Heary Caltar, Charged with Maaslaaghter. The argument In the Guitar murder trial was concluded Tuesday and the case given to the Jury. The addreea of District At torney Baxter was a scathing excoriation of the crime of homicide under even any provocation and especially when actuated by malice. The defense sought to show the provoca tion to have been great and but the cul mination of five years of abuse and threat ening by the victim agalnot the accused. A strong effort wss put forth to show that the crime wss committed In an act of self defense and the after contrition of Henry Quitar for the death of his father was dwelt upon In extenuation of the tragedy. The charge given the Jury by Judge Car land was calm and deliberate and In structed that the accused should be given the benefit of every reasonable doubt, but that neither sentiment nor prejudice should be permitted to Influence the Jury In the consideration of the esse.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 13. The closing days of the year M04 are bringing to light the fact that the shoe manufacturing Industry of the United States Is following closely the same trend as doea the center of popula tion. It Is moving westward, drawn un doubtedly by the high quality of the shoes made In St. Louie. In the face of the uncertainties which attend presidential election years the St. Louis manufacturers have experienced a year of remarkable prosperity. One concern alone, the Hamilton Brown Bhoe company, which doe the largest shoe business In the world, whose sales are published monthly throughout the .United State, and are looked upon by many as a reflection of the condition of the country, report a business this year of .overvnlne million dollars, showing an unusual In crease over the prosperous condition of 1903, which is something remarkable. Twenty-five years ago this Industry was monopolized' entirely by tba New England atates. At that time St. Louis Jobbers started shoe manufacturing In. a small way. Their . efforts met wtlh success and the demand for St. Louis made shoes rapidly Increased until now more shoes -are manu factured In this city than In any other city In th world. A triumph for western shoe making. Th Larson Ice Machine company will this week Ship another 20-ton Ice plant to De Moines. la.

NASH AND COUNCIL REFUSE TO BUIGE Oppose at Every Tara Determined Fight of ntr Eleetrlrlaa Michael soa to Eaforee Law aad Keep Dow a Rate. It is understood st th city hall that the National Board of Fir Underwriters will Inform the council before long that a speci fied time will be given when the preent overhead suspension of arc lamps must be discontinued In th downtown district and th orders of the city electrician ss to out side wiring obeyed, or fire Insurance rates will be materially Increased In the city of Omaha. Since City Electrician Mlchaelson went Into office rearly a year ago he has waged a constant fight on the Omaha Electric Light Power company to compel this corporation to obey the ordinances. He has not yet gained the victory: neither has he given up the struggle, though he stands alone, without assistance from any other branch of the city government. His views regarding outside wlrlnghave been sus tained by expert electrician from other cltle, but President Nash of the electric light company has steadfastly maintained that Mlchaelson Is wrong and he Is cor rect. 1 system Nat Practical. Mlchaelson holds that th exposure of th suspended wires make the alleged "under ground" district no underground district at aJI. He found that the plans for the con duit district, filed with the Board of Pub lto Works, provided for corner poets and not the overhead suspension; that these plans wero part of the ordinance under which the light company had a right to do business. After waiting a time and receiving no reply from the electric light company, the electrician appealed to the council and waa given a hearing. Mr. Nash and his gen eral manager, Mr. Holdrege, were pre sent and com bat ted the proposed change, declaring that the present plan gives much better distribution of light. He ridiculed the electrician's assertions' that the meth ods of the electric light company were not entirely safe end approved. The coun cil refuaed to take up Mlchaelson's conten tions or tb assist him In securing the en forcement of th ordinance. The electric light company then pro ceeded to Induce the Board of Public Works to alter the plans under which th conduits had been put in, so as to admit of the overhead suspension. This was done by a resolution adopted by the democratic majority members, Lobeck and Wlthnell. Blocked br C'ty Attorney. Upon turning to the legal department for ass stance Mlchaelson was Informed that as long as the council wss against him It would be useless for him to attempt any punitive measures against the electric light company. The electrician played hla trump card at laat by referring the whole matter to the National Board of Fire Underwriters, recognised by electricians generally as the hlgheat tribunal In mattera of electrical wiring In the United States. In doing this the electrician had two purposes: First, to prove that hla vlewa regarding the sus pended lamps and the manner of running high and low potential wires over the streets, through trees, etc., which had crept Into the question, were correct, nnd, second, if he was right, to frce the eler trlc light company to , bring Its work up to the standard by acquainting the In surance people with the facts. In the latter case he hoped to demonstrate that the danger he asserted existed. Nash Tries to Placate Mini. Not long after the matter was referred the electrician received a letter from Presi dent Nash, saying changes in the manner of stationing the lights were contemplated and Investigations were being made in the east along this line; also oonveylng assur ances that within a short time changes would be made that would satisfy Mlchael son. This was In June. Tho promised alterations have not been made. . After it waa announced In the news-, papers that the national board proposed to Increase fir insurance rates If the elec trical wiring was not Improved, Mayor Moore called Mlchaelson to his oTlce find requested him to drop th fight He aald that many citizens were begging him to stop the threatened Increase in Arc In surance. Tho electrician refused to comply and said there waa no reason to tear higher ratea if the electric light company complied with the regulations and his orders. The National Board of Fire Undarwtlttra sent W. 8. Boyd, the chief Inspector of their electrical bureau, to Omaha. He spent two weeks here making personal in vestigations. Under data of September It hla report was submitted to the council. It bore out th city elrctrlclan's conten tions In all respects. Doeament Substantially Ignored. The document waa placed on die, not withstanding higher , rates if tho recom mendations were not executed. After some weeks A. O. Bceson, local Inspector for the national board, write to the council asking what had been done and stain threatened higher fire Insurance rate.. The council therenpon directed that the receipt of the report be acknowt.Mgod and the Information conveyed that .i start would be made toward carrying out the recommendations. All that has been done la to fro mo and Introduce the ordinances putting tho lele- ' graph and signal wires underum in. nnd enlarging th electric light an 1 con luit district. During Mlchaelson's brief term .tt office no less thsn fifteen fire have boer. reused by the electric light wires coming Into contact with other wires downtown. There have been no fatalities.
