Oeorgo L Cnrmen , superintendent of th <
Western Rnlhvny Weighing Association RIK
Inspection bureau. Is In the city from Chi-
cngo. There is nothing particularly noteworthy -
worthy connected with this fact of Itself
but It Is said that during a visit to this cltj
by Mr Cnrmen last summer two shipper !
were detected by him in making false classi
fication of goods loaded In cars nnd were ar
rested for so doing This fact furnishes n
Imln for the belief that Uio existence of sim
ilar conditions brings Mr. Carmen to this cltj
ngiln nt this time.
Thoxe la n provision in the Intarstnto com

of freight , nnd its violation Is punishable bj

mcnt of. the shipper ns to the character ol
the goods loaded in tbo cars used To make
a personal Inspection of every cnr to learn
the nature of the freight It contains would
require n. larger force of men than any of the
companies deslro to keep for that purpose.
At freight distributing centers a speclcfl
ot Inspection is made where a per cent ol
the cars , taken nt random , nro examined
nml the results taken to Indicate the condi
tion In nil care at that point nt the time
of .Inspection. At the point of destination
of the freight n further examination la
made , but with all these precautions and
the provisions of tbo Interstate commerca
Jaw , freight is being continually shipped
under a wrong clarification , the purpose
lMlng to secure n loner rate for the trans
portation.
Merely a
Jt baa boon suggested that some of the
railroad companies are wont to practice
this or permit It to bo done to furnish n
means for cutting under the regular tariff
Bhcolfl , but It is not believed any ot the
roads In this city nro suspected of this con
duct. In fact , local railroad men say they
nro more interested in getting their legiti
mate profit on the business they handle than
iu securing now business by violating the
la\v.

At liny rate Mr. Cnrmen has been hen
Kcvernl days and It is alleged ho Is conduct
ing nn investigation along this line
Ordinarily his professional trips to a cltj
do not cover wore than a day. This belle !
is oncoiiragod by the report that there hai
been n growing nmount of this wronj
classification of freight by shippers fron
this point. Numerous complaints have heel
Illcd with the proper authorities nnd thes <
nro boliovcd to have caused Mr. Carmen tc
como hero to look Into tbo matter ngnln 01

fi tight depots , nnd at all points in the citj
where sidetracks have been built to ac
cftnnnodato the larger shippers ho is found m

Sovwnl of the railroads handled a small
military business yesterday. The most
Important haul was of Company D , Seventh
Infantry , which was 'brought ' down from Fort
Snelllng by the Milwaukee and taken at
once to Port Crook , where It will do g-ir-
rlson duty nfter the departure of the bat
talion of the Sixteenth infantry. A party
ot forty-nine from Columbus , O , pas ed
through on Its way to the Presidio nt San
rrnncisco. Twenty of these were Red Cross
people , who traveled over the Northwest
ern nnd Union Pacific. The others were
recrslts and. traveled over the Burlington
During the afternoon another party of
twenHy-threo , also bound for the Presidio ,
went vest over the Union Pacific.
The roads nro now interested in knowing
which one will qet the haul of the troops
In the east destined to Borvlco In the Phil
ippines. Contracts for the hauling of three
leglmonts of Infantry nnd two batteries of
artillery , wttb liorsea nnd equipment , have
been let in New York City. All of the
transportation will too by the Ogdcn gatu-
Tay lines and will probably go through this
city , but none of the local roads had re-
colvcd Information which line will bo used
from the Missouri river west.

Snow In the far west has again
brought 'trouble to the Union Pa

of the delay of tlie passenger train , the for
mer being blocknd by the snow. The Elk-
liorn road reports heavy snow along Its line
In the northwestern pnrt of tbo state , but
no far no dolny has resulted to traffic.
All of the roids nro on the lookout for

ludtcato that the mountains are full of
snow , nnd thnt when the spring thaw be
gins there will bo an abundance of water
In all ( lie streams , which , taken with the
hca\y ice which is In the rivers , may cnuse
damngo to bridges. This will bo especially
BO along the rivcis in Nebraska , where the
bottoms are so unstable , nnd the banks so
low. However , there is a feeling of confi
dence on the pnrt of each of the roads here
that they will bo able to prevent any bad
washout * , or serious damage to bridges.
Careful examinations and tests nro being
muda at the exposed pi ices , and these will
bo increased ns the water approaches tlie

PROPERTY OWNERS PROTEST
INot SnflNflert with Plnn of AsspsNineiit
ItclaUnir to Soutliii ct
lloulctartl.
The city council ns n Board of Equaliza
tion has received n number of protests
ngalnst the plan of assessment drawn up for
the Southwest boulevard and many moro
are expected , Chairman Burmester of the
beard is continually besieged by the dissatis
fied property owners who are called upon to
pay a tax. All these complaints , however ,
must be Incorporated in a shape of written
piotcsts , which nro to be considered at 2
o'clock Thursday afternoon.
As was anticipated , these objections are
coming from the taxpayers whose property-
is located some distance from the boulevard
and who , therefore , secure very little direct
benefit from it. This class is objecting to
the plan of assessment because they do not
think they ought to bo taxed. They assert
that the whole city should bear a portion ot
the taxation if they do and they therefore
advocate the issuance of bonds to pay for
land that Is to bo condemned Most of the
complaints so far are from small property
owneis , although John A. Crelghton and the
Union Pacific have entered the list of the
Protestants The railroad his been assessed
about $1,500 against its rlght-of-wny , which
the boulevard crosses.
"Tho plan of assessment which has been
adopted Is the most equltublo nnd economical
that could be devised , " says Park Commis
sioner Comlsh , who has been assisting
Chairman Burmostor In meeting tbo com
plaints. "Tho tax should bo scaled back ,
because if it was unloaded entirely upon
the property immediately adjoining the route
of the boulevard , It would mean virtual con
fiscation. It bonds were issued for the
boulevard , property owners whoso land is
desired would unquestionably boost up the
values. By the present plan we have se
cured land nt the lowest possible prlco and
have received considerable donations. "

MRS. HOWARD MAY RELENT
Shown n Dlniionllloii Xot < o Prone-
cnt Her 3ny Olil
IIiiNlmiul.
Mrs W. n. Howard applied to the au
thorities for n warrant for the arrest of
her husband. She < \vas told that she would
have to prosecute the case it the informa
tion -was filed and this apparently dampened
her ardor , as she failed to appear again.
Mrs. Howard came here from Kansas
about two weeks ago to visit her brothei.
She sa > e her husband preceded her for the
purpose of accepting an engagement at a
local music hall. The brother lives out on
Fortieth and Leavcmvorth streets , so How
ard explained that It was impossible for
him to get homo nt night , as his engage
ment kept him until after the midnight hour
when the cars stopped. This necessitated
the renting of a room down town and like
wise aroused the suspicions of Mrs. Howard ,
although her husband visited her regularly
in the afternoon. Finally she made up her
mind to go to his room and there , she says ,
Bho learned that he was paying his atten
tions to a South Omaha music hall singer.
She stated that ho "went down on the car
every night to meet the -woman and came
back with her to the room.
Mrs. Howard's desires scorned to bo to
punish her husband by n few < Injs' impris
onment and not to push a serious charge
