(From a Stall Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, May Jl. (Special.) After
adopting the' tentative values of the rail
road property of the state as reported last
Saturday, the ; State Board of Assessment
took a recess this . afternoon, just In time
to .prevent what might have been a per
S'Akl encounter between Land Commis
sioner Eaton and James Kelby, attorney
for the Burlington.' Kelby had read, on
jAiehalf Of ,the Burlington, a request for de
Stalled Information regarding the way the
board arrived at Its conclusions, the deduo
jf tanm It made for outside holding's, prop
vi erty locally assessed and other matters.
Ho desired the board to make- a record of
tils request, tog-ether with a ruling on each
"question asked. Treasurer Brian, Governor
Sheldon and Secretary of State Junkln had
expressed an adverse opinion regarding- put
ting such matter In the records. Kelby
aa-aln started tn road hla renuaat and salil.

, "What right have you to make a mo

,"you are not a member of this board."
, "I am going to make motions bare until
I am expelled forcibly. Tou can't bulldoze
me. Tour language, Mr. Eaton, la very
much out of place, coming from a state

and Kelby still stood at the table talking.
Kelby rubbed the board the wrong way
the first thing, when, after- reading what
he wanted put In the records, he told the
board he wanted a ruling on each ques
tion and asked the same to be a part of
the record. Treasurer Brian snapped him
up In a moment.
Brian Takes Inane.
"I think we have a right under the law
to make this assessment and we put In
our records what we please without you
telling us," Brian aald.
"I want this record made now," replied
Kelby, "hut If the board want more time
I will griint It. but I want to be present
when the final record hi made up."
Again Brian did the talking for the board
and he said: I have been lenient with the
railroads, but you can't tell ua how to
make our records."
"The railroads have not yet been as
sessed," answered Kelby, and If the rec
ords do not show that I will endeavor to
prove it"
"Weil, If the railroads haven't' been as
sessed I don't sea. why you are- here ask
ing us to tell you how we assessed them,"
said Governor Sheldon. Kelby then con
descended to 'change hi motion, and Ed
aon Rich of the Union Pacific eased the
tension a little by getting In ahead of
Kelby and explaining to the board that
in an equity case it was usual when the
lawyers had been Informed what a Judge's
decision was going to be to ask him to
make a record of how he reached his con
clusions before the final decision was re
corded. The board, he aald, was sitting
m an official capacity. The board can
either grant or deny, the request aa It sees
(It.
Kelby again took possession of the
speakers' stand and when he atopped for
breath, Junkln moved the resolution fixing
the values last Saturday be adopted. The
motion carried unanimously, with Kelby
protesting.
Kelby Is Insistent.
Just before the vote waa taken Mark
Woods, a Northwestern attnrnAv .vim.4
I In to say that bis road also desired to make
rue same kind of protest filed by th Union
Pacific and the Burlington and to ask for
the detailed Information regarding- the aa
sessmena "We have been here for, some . weeka
holding these meetings," said Governor
Sheldon, "and have listened to you men
and I am willing to listen this afternoon,
but I am not going to encumber the records
with the things you ask., We have taken
a"il those things under consideration."
"Then the board should adopt a resolu
.Ion to that effect," chimed in Woods, "for
fe are entitled to the record."
"I am going to read these -questions and
Insist on a ruling on each question," said
Kelby,, and he waa about to start, when
Brian Interrupted.
"I wont stand for reading those questions
again. We have all beard them. Tour own
J.ax commissioner couldn't answer some of
them," he aald.
"Some of the tax commissioners said the
road waa worth 13,000 a mile, and later ad
mitted It waa worth $38,000." said Junkln, as
a parting ahot
It was .then Kelby got In the game wtthH
a remara mat he did not Intend to be shut
out by any of legerdemain, and Eaton
called him, and it waa all off.
For the Union Pacific there were present -Sdson
Rich, attorney; A. W. Scribner. tax
commissioner; R. J. Clancy and George
Holcomb of the taxing department. Tor
the Burlington: James Kelby, attorney;
R. D. Pollard, tax commissioner. For the
Northwestern: Mark Woods, attorney, and
Bob McOlnnls, general agent.
' It waa apparent the object of the rail
road men was to get the board to make up
a record upon which they could get Into
the courts and again contest the tax baaed
on the assessment made by the board.
While the board may make a record of the
request filed by the railroad men. it la not
believed It will make a record of what
action It took In tha matter. At the meet
ing tomorrow the values wUl be argued by
the varloua roads.
