Hs !). 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

eat its case in proper form, and lost, but,
your honor, it a corporation go before

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."

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. The equipment of the shop
cost about $2,000,000, but after tha failure
ot Whlteley a few years later, th shops
were left Idle for nearly ten years, when
they were sold at a receiver' sale, and
Senator Fairbanks and several other cap
ltalist bought them for $200,000. In th
last few years, through tha effort of th
Board of Trade of Springfield and th Com
merclal club, fifteen concerna were placed
in tha old shop. The machinery, material
and unfinished product of these concerns
is a total loss. Th Insurance is approxl
raately $300,000.
Revised estimates of the loss on th prop
erty destroyed at the East Street ahopa
place it at between $500,000 and $750,000, ot
which $320,000 is covered by insurance.
BELIEVE IT TO BE INCENDIARY

Theory to Origin of

CHICAGO, Feb. 10. Belief tbat the Or
which early this morning practically ruined
the Orpbeon theater was ot incendiary
origin was further strengthened today. At
4 a. m. Bremen exploring th basement dls
covered two gaa Jets, the tips of which bad
been removed, spouting flames three feet
high. The flame were thirty feet apart
and on had eaten into a wooden beam. As
slstant Fire Marshal Campion said today
tbat when the fire department was called
last night flames were discovered in three
different parts of tha building at one time,
The discovery ot the gaa Jsts, the aselstan
marshal saya, shows that tha Incendiary at
tack waa made In four places. The two
women reported missing have been ac
counted for.
Later firemen clearing away the debrla
on the third floor came upon the head
less body ot a boy, which waa aupported
in an upright position by a displaced rafter,
The head' had been burned oft and the body
horribly acorched. The boy la supposed to

shelter in on of the vacant offloes on the
top floor ot the building. Halt a doten
boya aometlmes slept in this part of th
building. Whether other boy wer sleep

FATERSON, N. J., Ktb. 10. A feeling ot
confidence In the future pervades the minds
of cltliens of Pattrson tonight. Mayor
Htnchllffe ha the situation well In hanJ
and to an offer of assistance which came
from Mayor Low of New York an answer
ws returned containing thanks snd the
assurance that Paterson Is managing to
care for these In need. '
Money and securities said to amount to
$3,000,000 were recovered from the two huge
vaults under the ruins of the First Na
tional bank this afternoon. Books, papers,
bullion and paper money were found un
injured.
Guarded by flies of soldiers with Axed
bayonets, the treasure was conveyed to the
Paterson Savlirgs institution in a two-horse
dray. Burled beneath the ruins of the city
hall were found the safes which belonged
to th controller's efflces, and In these
also the papers, legal documents and pubMc
records, were found unharmed. The safes
of the Passaic Water company, under th
ruins of the building which stood at No.
107 and 109 Washington street,- were de
stroyed, and the only part of their con
tents recovered was $.00 in silver.
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.
There has been no disorder and the au
thorities believe there will be none.'
