WASHINGTON , Dec. 2. The War Investi
gating commission resumed Its sittings In
this city today , Colonel Charles Bird being
on the stand. He Has on duty during tha
war In the quartermaster general's office ,
having direction of the transportation divi
sion. He bad charge In the beginning ot the
war of the purchase of mules , and he be
lieved the prices paid to have been reason
able , the average price for readers being
| 100 , and for wheelers $120. On one occa
sion the department had rejected bids at Stj
Louis and had entered the open market , se
curing animals at a less rate than the bids
specified.
He said that contracts for railroad trans
portation were made In Chicago , St. Paul
and other centers before the beginning of
the movement of troops. The prlcee secured
to Individuals
were lower than ordinarily given
viduals , but It had been found Impossible to
get competitive rates from the railroad com
panies.
General
from
In response to a request
Wilson , Colonel Bird explained the difficulty
In getting troops from Tampa to Port
Tampa , which was , ho said , duo to the fact
, which controlled the
that the Plant system
only line from Tampa to Port Tampa ,
wanted to cut out the Florida Central road
from carrying any of the government troops
or supplies , and In order to accomplish this
result had put a very high rate on shipments
. In consequence
ments between the two points.
quence ot this position taken by the rail
road company orders had been given that
not a dollar should bo paid for transporta
tion over tula nine mites ot road until a
proper rate should be made , and , as a con
sequence , no payments had been made for
this service.
Iteaion ( or Congestion.
The congestion at Tampa was due to tbo
fact that more supplies were sent to that
point than could bo handled. When they
learned ot the congestion , an order was
Issued tor the marking ot the cars , and a
quartermaster's agent was sent with each
car. In most cases It was Impossible to
end bills ot lading.
Colonel Bird saU that ho and the secre
tary ot war had co-operated In chartering
vessels for water transportation. In some
instances It bad been necessary to be quite
arbitrary In securing some vessels.
Mr. Clyde ot the Merchants and Miners
line bad held out strenuously on the plea
that the vessels were needed In his own
business. The rental paid for the chartered

OF
vessels was considered very low , the rate
being 15 cents per gross ton per day on
vessels ot 3,000 tons and over , but during
the latter part of the war It bad been
necessary to Increase the rate.
Colonel Bird also said that the transports
occupied between Tampa and Santiago bad
been fitted up only to carry the men and
supplies to Havana , and this was the reason
they proved Inadequate for a trip of much
longer duration.
Colonel William S. Patten , In charge of
the supply division ot the quartermaster's
department , was questioned concerning a
complaint made by Knox , the bat manufac
turer , that a fraudulent contract for bats
had been awarded to a Philadelphia firm and
asserting that the department as represented
at Philadelphia was "rotten and corrupt. "
Colonel Patten had this complaint thor
oughly Investigated by several officers who
had reached the conclusion that the hate
accepted were superior to those offered by
Kcox. Colonel Patten said no outside In
fluence bad had any effect upon his office
n the matter of awarding contracts for
tents.
Captain James McKay , a civilian and an
old sea captain In Florida and Cuban waters ,
who , under General Humphrey , had charge
of the details of the transportation of troopsj
to Santiago , proved an Important witness.
He claimed that full rations had been put
on each vessel , and that the vessels were
not overloaded. "I say emphatically there
was no disorder and no confusion , " be said ,
"and that In all cases the regiments found
their quarters without trouble or delay. "
"How about the Rough Riders , the Roosevelt
velt regiment ? " asked Governor Beaver.
"They were assigned to the Yucatan and
there was no difficulty In their departure. "
'It has been reported to us , " continued
Governor Beaver , 'Hhat they seized the ves
sel. Was that 'true ? "
"No , It was not true , " the witness re
plied. "Tho Yucatan was placed In the canal
and the Rough Riders walked In and took
their places on the vessel according to di
rections. They did not seize 'the vessel be
cause there was no necessity that they
should do BO. "
Captain McKay took exception to a refer
ence In Admiral Sampson's report to what he
called "the wandering proclivities of < the
transports. "
"As a matter of fact , " ho said , "If the
transports developed nny wandering proclivi
ties this fact was due to the navy. "
Ho then related that a naval veasel bad
made the rounds -the first night after ar
rival to allow the officer In command to no
tify the transports that a change toad been
made In the directions for landing. He
thought Captain Hunker had given this In
formation and he bad stated that they were
to pursue a south-southeast course. He
had said nothing as to bow long they should
steer In that direction. This course pursued
Indefinitely would carry them six points off
the coast. This order led the transport offi
cers generally to conclude that -they were to
sail to Porto Rico , and as a matter ot fa- '
the Knickerbocker did salt thlrty-flvo miles
and get lost for twelve hours on account ot
the order , only coming back when It found
that none ot the fleet was with It ,

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.
Mayor Ensor's idea of reducing the levy
and Increasing th valuation of property in
this city , as mentioned in detail In Tbe Bee
of yesterday , appears to meet with tbe ap
proval of a large number of property own
ers. Dy Increasing the valuation to $10-
000,000 , as suggested , the home owner would
not be called upon to pay any more taxes
than he is at the present time , but the cor
porations would be compelled to pay their
lust proportion ot the taxes. Every one
knows that the corporations are assessed at
a ridiculously low figure , while tbe small
property owner Is called upon to pay at the
rate of a fair valuation on his holdings. A
little over a year ago It was advertised
through the press of the country that Ar
mour was building a plant at South Omaha
to cost Jl,000,000. When the assessor got
around that way the plant hod Bhrunk until
It was not worth over $125,000. Consequently
quently , figuring at a one-fifth value , the
plant was assessed at $25,000. , In tbe real
estate transfers the land Armour occuoles
figured at $196,000 , to say nothing ot the
buildings , which are rated by Insurance
companies as worth nearly $1,000,000.
It Jfl the same with stock yards property.
At the last assessment tbe new exchange
building , which coat something like $90,000 ,
was not on the assessments rolls at all.
This omission was probably caused by the
defect In the eyesight of tbe assessor.
The best illustration of this point was
brought out during the recent strike when
Manager Price of Swift's and Manager Noyea
of Hammond's called on Mayor Ensor and
asked him to awar in 125 extra police for
duty at their plants. The mayor objected
for the reason that the city had no money
to pay for extra police. Manager Price then
asked the mayor If be realized tbo magni
tude of the business done by the two plants
In question and the value of the property.
The mayor professed Ignorance on this
score and Mr. Price went ahead to say that
the Hammond and Swift plants represented
an investment of $3,500,000. Mayor Ensor
then asked why they valued their plants at
so small a sum when the assessor came
around , and he turned to the figures which
showed that Swift's valuation was $53,600 ,
while Hammond's was $36,035. Both Price
and Noyea said that the valuation was an
other matter and one not to be considered
at that time. The mayor thought it was and
for that reason refused to swear In extra
police at the expenio of tbo taxpayers. The
special police were later sworn in at tbe
expense ot the packing houses.
One real estate man said yesterday after
noon that tbe Idea of Increasing tbe valua
tion Is tbe best that 'boa been sprung yet
and be boprd It would go through. He said
the small property owner would be benefited
and tbe credit of tbe city would be raised.
Continuing , this tran said that when an
eastern Investor talked about buying South
Omaha bonds tbe first question he asked was
about the levy. When told about the valua
tion was less than $2,000,000 and tbe levy at
tbo rate of $56 per $1,000 he generally threw
up his hands and passed on. With a fair
cash valuation on all property the city
would bo placed on a sound financial basis
and would be In a condition to make exten
sive Improvements.

WORK OF CASH K'sTlMONER
Uenn Campbell Pair Give * a Short
Account of III * Stewardship
Charity Work Discussed.
At the request of Dean Campbell Fair ,
the almoner ot the "Cash K" fund , repre
sentatives of the various charities In the
city met at tha Trinity parish house
yesterday afternoon to discuss the disposi
tion ot this fund. Some dozen charitable
organizations had delegates at the meeting ,
and the general subject of charities was
thoroughly discussed. Dean Fair reported
that over )300 ot tbo fund bad been paid
back by parties to whom It had been loaned
in a time of need. He also reported that
he had divided the fund Into seven classes
as follows : For the supply of food , fuel ,
ehoea , general clothing , drugs , paying rent ,
i and making loans.
' Those- present discussed the best method
; of doing away with tbo need ot charity , and
it nas the unanimous opinion that some law
should be enacted by the city or state de
signed to reach men who will not try to
support their families , and men who leave
their families to be cared for by charity.
A committee to present tbe subject to the
city council and to the state legislature was
appointed by Dean Fair , composed of Rev.
John Williams , A. W. Clark , John Laugh-
land , W. S. Askwlth and J. W. VanOstrand.
It was also decided to advise the dis
continuance of giving charity at the back
door , and to suggest that all such cases be
referred to the "Cash K" fund or to tbe
Asoclatcd Charities.
It was reported that many calls for the
use of tbe "Cash K" fund are being re
ceived since tbe arrival of the cold snap ,
and that there are numerous needy families

STREET RAILWAY EXTENSION
South Side Iiitproicinrnt Club DUn-
voun Any Intention * of AntniconU-
Any Other Section.
Tbe South Side Improvement club mot at
Metz hall last night and spent two hours
talking street car and planning how best
to Induce the street railway company to
carry out the long delayed plan of extending
the South Thirteenth street line to South
Omaha. E. J. Cornish began the conversa
tion In a short speech , in which bo deplored
the fact that Stuht'a resolution that was
Introduced In the city council Tuesday night
bad been made a vehicle for the Introduc
tion of an apparent contest 'between tbo
east and west portions of the city. Mr. r
Cornish declared this was an old dodge of
the street railway people. The/ usually
succeeded In getting two different parts ot
the city bidding against each other for anew
now line and then very comfortably lay
back and suggest that they , could do nothing
until the people decided what th'cy wanted.
In order to remedy the present difficulty
be Introduced a resolution setting forth the
facts and pronouncing against any contest
between the advocates of the two lines sug
gested. It also carried a request that Cbun-
ctlmen Blngham and Durmestcr bo especially
requested to assist In securing the 'south-
aldora what they consider themnelv'es en
titled to.
Speeches followed along similar llnca by
Councllmcn Lobeck and Stuht and Council
man Blngham , who en mo In later , assured
the club that ho was ready to give any as
sistance In his power. He contended , how
ever , that the passage of a resolution by
the city council would have no effect , Cor
nish's resolution waa then adopted and after
