Ih part: "Itseems to ro, In tbK light of whst hs occurred, that the only question now li on? of fact. There Is oo longer a question of law. The petit Pro- filed wl'h you' honor and which loduud you to grant the tem porary Injunction that yeu did, stated only part of the cane. Had It elated all the true facts your honor never would hare al lowed tb order. "Thera was no complaint that the council failed to take action. The complaint rests on the allegation that the council failed to consider the complaints and failed to bear the- complainants. The order merely re strains the council from passing the ordl rance until the council aball give the com plainants hearing on the complaints. Well, It now appear that auch complaints have been heard, and that the aole ground for demanding this Injunction It that the coun cil had failed to take the requisite action against these corporations. Co nn ell's Mew of the Farts. ' "Now, let me say here that the con tention over the producing -of the books In court Is nothing to me, not have I to argite the matter of the assessment Itself, though It may be, your honor, that I be lieve and It may be that you believe, that the corporations of Omaha are not assessed as heavily as they should be. But the question we now consider Is, shall this council, which Is required' to make Its levy at the first regular meeting In Feb ruary ba allowed to do so? As for the men wh are blocking this action, I will say that If some members of this Real Estate exchange would work as hard to build up Omaha as they hsve to tear It down, Ibe city's credit .might be better. While they are wrangling and palling apart this way we never can expect to see the city go ahead as It should. "Now, the main facts In this case stand out plainly. First, you have nine com plaints, eight of them signed by Mr. Shrlver, and forming a part of the total or eighty-eight disposed of. as Indicated by the undisputed record In tblf case. Now, your honor, If you had given a day or more to hearing one of these complaints, would you allow Mr. Shrlver to call np complaint No. 2, and then complaint. No. 3. and so on, for hearing, giving the same attention to each, when the matter Is practically the same? And if this bearing could ba prolonged for these, eighty-eight com plaints, why couldn't it be continued in definitely, Bhrlver or Morton adding five t a time, when opportunity presented? Manifestly, this course Is not justifiable. The disposition of the first complaint dis posed of them all." Attorney Mrlntoah'a Reply. Attorney Mcintosh, in replying, said: "In th first place, there is a total mis apprehension by counsel (Connell) of tha scope .of this petition. He says, too, that It is mandatory 'that this levy shall be made at tha meeting on the first Tuesday in February. It is not mandatory. Back in 1892 Or 1893 the mayor vetoed a levy ordinance, yet the council went on and made the levy, and no man ' ever ques tioned Its talldjty." Reading from the statutes to show the duty of levying taxes on all property within the corporate limits of the city, Mr. Mc intosh continued: "The council' first duty Is to see to it that there Is proper assessment of all the capital stock and franchises of the cor porations and of the other property within tha city. But as for these men, wa would set no value to a hearing before them. We know they would overrule any evidence we might produce, no - matter how clear and how convincing it might be. I will ay, however, that until wa do get a hear- Ing on thesa ojomplaluts, , In a . spirit t fairness, 'and get'the assessments raised ,to 10 per cent of tjieir -actual value, our case Is not done and- wo shall trot rest: '- "We-are answered that w have had a hearing, but it is not answered ua that our hearing has been considered. It is argued that because the Real Estate ex change went before tha council and had a lebate with the corporation representatives, a taxpayer representing all the taxpayers. If h happen to belong to that Real Estate- exchange, shall not be beard by tha council.- Conrt's Order Is Necessary. "These councllmen will never do their duty in this matter Until they are put un ler an order of the court that threatens them with punishment it they don't do it. They served notices to the corporations on January 14 (Tuesday), citing them to appear tha following Friday to show cause why their assessments shouldn't be raised, not a- man who had filed complaint was notified to ba there, except tha Real Es tate exchange. That exohange did not pre- eat its case in proper form, and lost, but, your honor, it a corporation go before tha counotl and file complaint about a taxpayer's assessments, and falls to main tain that caaa because it hasn't proceeded In proper manner, am I, an individual tax payer, to cava my mouth closed forever? ; IndlTlaaals Make Complaint, "Tha corporation lawyers took advantage f that erroneous proceeding, but Mr. Mor ton and Mr. Shrlver complained for them' lelvea.

Mr. Mcintosh is to complete his argu ment this morning, after which City Attor ney Connell will have opportunity to reply, when the court's decision will be asked. It Is not expected that more witnesses will be called. . '...,. Answered Corporation. Mr. Mcintosh had ocrupled most of yes terday forenoon aoswerlng the arguments of the attorneys for the five franchleed cor poration of Omaha on the (notion made last Saturday to quash the subpoenas served on the officers of those corporations, requiring them to bring Into court tholr books and records. The corporation attorneys had contended. In sutstance, that the demand tor the books was purposeless and Irrelevant in this mat ter; that tte real estate interests bsd singled out the corporations as the only tax payers not assessed at 40 per cent of their full cash value, whereas there are many others in Omaha similarly deficient; that the assessing officers and board of review were the first and final Judge of that and that the council could not be called on to bange auch decision, and, finally, that the court could not go Into the matter of valua tions In this proceeding to the extent of Implying a doubt of th correctness of the board of review's estimates by calling for the company records. . Argument of Mrlatosk. In answering, Mr. Mcintosh held to. his original contention that his demand for the books waa simply a demand for evidence that he would need in opposing th motion of City Attorney Connell to vacate th re straining order Jndg Dickinson had Issued preventing the city council from making the levy until the mandamus proceeding now In the supreme court could be disposed of. He affirmed that It -was not proposed to slete" the book, but that all tbat was asked waa that the corporation officers bring them in and from them furnish the testimony by which th real estate counsel would be able to prove the primary alle gation that tha assessment of the corpora tions had been too low. Aa for any other who may be assessed too low," said Mr. Mcintosh, turning to the corporation lawyers, "if counsel knows of such It H their duty aa citlxena to in form the council of It and th council should be obliged for the information Just as the council should have been obliged to my cltenta for complaining of the too low assessment of th corporations, instead of Indicating that tbelr duty was to the men who are dictating the doing of th stand ing committee."

Wlllard Brain, whose office is close to the great plant, stated tbat when he and those In the neighborhood first saw the name they were shooting out from under the eaves of the central part of th front of the plant which facea on East street. Th firemen, owing to the high wind. were unable to check the spread of the ames. Soon the whole front of the build lng, which is five stories high, was ablaze.

The great East Street shops were built nearly thirty-five years ago by Whitely, Fassler Kelly, of which company William N. Whitely waa the dom inating factor. Th shops at the time of their completion wa th second largest In the world, being rivaled only by the great Krupp Gun works at Essen, Ger many. Th Whlteley shops which were de stroyed today were built in 1883 by William Whlteley. for the manufacture of harvest lng machinery at a cost of $75,000, and at tbat time the shop were th largest under one roof In the world and had only one rival in later year, the Krupp gun work In Germany.

Tangle In Tax Affairs. The greatest tangle in city affairs will be In the tax office. So far as can be as certained, the records of the department are destroyed. There Is a set ot books which. shows the valuation, etc., of each piece ot property in the city, and the as- sesBors have their field books, from which all this could be duplicated without overmuch work. It is said, however, that It is almost certain the records showing who paid their taxes and who hsd not are destroyed, and that there is not in ex istence anything from which the informa tion could be obtained. The work of clearing up the burned dis trict haa not begun, but the firemen wefa busy until night with ropes and dynamite, tearing down the shaky walls that endang ered those who had to be Inside the burned area. So well did thia work progress that In the afternoon after a conference with Major Ross, commanding the militia, the public was admitted to the rulna and sen tries were posted at every Important point keeping the crowd moving briskly. Thou sands passed about the choked up streets and viewed the ruins during the two hours and a halt allowed them. At the expiration of the time the sentries began moving out-. wara ana gathering up the extra men at each step, soon had the entire district cleared. The conduct of the soldiers was excellent.
