10 THE OMAIIA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, MARCH 14, 1002. MEANS THOUSANDS TO CITY Ealing of Judge Dickinson in Tax Cue of Jane S. Bogers. ELATES ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEYS Effect Will Be o Eaton Qaeatlontna .Validity of Special Aiimnifiti Against Properties Sold I ndrr Foreclosar. In the rase of Jane S. Rogers and The Colon Trust company against tha City Judge Dickinson made ruIlDg which greatly delights Assistant City Attorney! Adami and Morgan, who have been fighting for stoppel In the multitudinous tax easel Which have been on for more than a year. tney cay that tha ruling undoubtedly meani thousands of dollars for tha city. The ruling Is in substance that a party who purchases property at a foreclosure ale wherein special assessments bare been hown by the appraisers as prior liens you Id be estopped to question the validity of such assessments, even though the party did not take advantage of the assessments hown and bid not only tha two-thirds of the gross appraised value, but actually bid the full value as fixed by the appraisers. The feature which distinguishes this from ruling already obtained and which makes It ao broad as to expedite matters for the city's attorneys Is the clause applying the stoppel to those who bid to the full ap praised value Instead of two-thirds. The eourt based Its ruling on tha decision of the supreme court In the case of Battels against Mcintosh, which was a tax fore closure suit brought by Charles Battels gainst J. II. Mcintosh. Mcintosh tried to defeat the assessments on the ground of their being Invalid, but the court held that tie having purchased at a foreclosure sale Wherein the said assessments were shown by the appraisers, even though he bid more than the two-thirds of gross appraised Value, still would be estopped to question the validity of the assessment shown. Amount Saved to City. The assistant attorneys say that during the year 1901 there was turned Into the city treasury more than $14,000 as a result of stoppel proceedings and that In addition they succeeded In establishing more than 123,000 of claims. For the first two and ens-half months of this year they report also a combined total of (25,000 and expect It to easily reach $100,000 for the year. "This ruling of Judge Dickinson's," they aid yesterday, "will assist us greatly. Feople were already getting Into line and How they will fairly scramble to do so. Already one attorney has given up a fight against us that Involved not less than $7,000 In taxes. "In origin some of these cases "trace back ma far as 1885, but the most of them are Incidental to the Improvement epidemic of 1887-1893. In some instances there has eemed to be hardship worked upon some property owners of good Intent, but there can only be applied the general rule that when Improvements have been made in a certain locality these Improvements should be paid for by that locality and the property owners not allowed to so evade the pay ment of the special tax that eventually the Improvement will have to be paid for cut of the Judgment fund, which Is raised by general taxation and which therefore forces ail localities to help pay for special Im provements made In a single one. "Some purchaser have followed the sim ple plan of deducting the amount of the f ' In making their purchases and then to beat the city out of the amount "tiucted, making the amount of the VjuTyS cIean proflt om the fleaL Tnt thu vi n worked successfully is shown by fc'fact there are in Omaha today a con siderable number of men who are regularly and openly speculating In this way.". BOOK COMPANY MANTIS HERE Interviews Principals and Teaehera la Rcarard to lotted States History. S. B. Todd, general agent of the American Book company, with headquarters in Minne apolis, is in the city investigating the re port of the objection raised to the history In use in the publio schools of the city. Mr. Todd's regular territory includes the tates of Minnesota and the Dakotas, but be was selected to look after the Omaha situation on aocount of hla familiarity with the book in question. He arrived in the city two days ago and since that time has been interviewing teachers and principals In the schools, later turning his attention to the members of the school board. To the members he said that the teachers and the principals bad generally expressed themselves as pleased with the book, but that many of them had said that under the existing division of time It was impossible to bring out Its best features. The ques tlon of retaining the history in the schools will be one of the important ones before the committee on course of study during the. coming vacation and an effort will un doubtedly be made to have it retained. Mr. Todd will in future have charge of the business of the company in Omaha, suc ceeding Mr. Wedgewood, who for some time has bad charge of the Omaha business in common with that of the state of Nebraska, How to Prevent Pneamonta, Tou have good reason to fear an attack tof pneumonia when you have a severs cold, aocompanled by pains In the chest or In the tack between the shoulders.

To the Editor of The Bee: I am very much Interested in what The Bee says about the Omaha schools. Too much money Is spent for naught. Our schools were accused of being "top-heavy." I agree with The Bee in regarding thein also "foot-heavy." The kindergarten busi ness Is vastly overdone. I have yet to see any proof, beyond mere assertion, that a child at the age of 10 years is any the worse for having missed the kindergarten. Take two children of the same rapacity and circumstances; let one have kindergarten from 6 to 6, let the other run freely until ( years old. Let them both have the same advantages from to 10. The former will show no superiority at that age. Tet I think the kindergartens ought to be in some pieces. The poorer children, who have little home training or comforts, ought to be accommodated. That the -city abould be taxed for nurseries on so large a scale t Vfc. -. ... ..n t a If the rich or well-to-do I Is hardly right desire such luxuries for their children they ought to pay for them privately. The Bee Is no doubt right In saying that somebody la subsidised by the book con cerns. At the time when much was said about the "retainer" of $25 to recommend certain books, I incidentally beard quite another story. It came to me via a mature and quite efficient teacher. 8h said: "My cousin was in the school board. It was a few years ago. One evening he said to me: 'Today I could have made $2,600 easily.' Why didn't you?' 'I don't want to. make it that way. A book man promised it as royalty if I would get bis books into the Omaha schools. I emphatically declined.' " The books went in, however. They were highly recommended' by another. Someone no doubt was willing to take the $2,600. Who received the money I know not But it has seemed to me that while there must be big fish to be caught somewhere ($2,500 ones) It Is a pity to waste much time over the small fry ($5- fellows). The Bee's work, united to tne taie enons oi '"" board, will bear fruit. I am always deeply interested in the proper education of the young. Yours, l ukum, Pastor St. Mark's, Twenty-First and Bur- dette Streets. NEW STUDY FOR PROSECUTOR Mr. Thomas Wilt Look l Text Books on f"hlekenoloB-r" for a I Few Days. Can an egg be identified when It looks looks like otner eggs, ana is mere any an- ference between eggs laid by hens or the same breed?" This compound question has arisen in po- lice court over tne prosecution or Menry Lelcbenberg. who was arraigned yesterday morning charged with stealing several desen eggs. Henry sprung tne question on me Judge Immediately after pleading not guilty ana aemio ma mu.wor. . All eggs that look alike are alike to me. and I never saw any egg except a bantam's I that looked different," said Henry, "and I shall expect the prosecution to prove to whom these eggs belong and have the owner identify them; also that the eggs found In I my pocket were not laid there by a ben; also that I was not making an Incubator of myself to assist soma overworked ambi tious hen who desired to spring the first flock of spring chickens. I am not guilty and don't expect to believe I am until all these points ara proven." Prosecutor Thomas asked tor a continu ance until be could study up oa "chicken- ology."

Superintendent Jordan of the Indian sup ply depot has received blank proposals for the sale of goods to the Indian bureau and they are ready for delivery to those who desire to bid. Omaha has secured one ad vantage it did not possess last year, and that is the right of bidders to specify Omaha delivery on all supplies, with the exception of those to be delivered at the various agencies. In addition to this the commissioner of Indian affairs has given Omaha an advanUge over other cities by ... .. ., preference will be given to bids specifying delivery st the depot closest to the agencies. Omaha Is this depot, taking all of the agoncies together, and theretors it Is considered that bidders from this city will have that condition In their favor. ' The dealers in the goods required by Indians, which include about every line rep resented In a wholesale way In Omaha, are to make an extraordinary effort to secure contracts for thla city. Steps are now being taken which may result in a combined effort in the way of a display of samples. This city can now bid on matches, of which the Indians require about 600,000 boxes a year. The Omaha match factory will be in the contest, and, having only one competitor, will stand a good chance of securing a con tract. What the Indians Want.

JILL DECORATE HIGH SCHOOL Art Department of Woman's Clah (fcalts Library Beeaase Plan Wera Called For. The art department of the Woman's club has decided to abandon Us plans tor the I decoration of the children's room of the 'public library and instead for the 'present to devote Its efforts toward beautifying the walls of the new High school building, This decision was reached at yesterday's meeting ot the department, and was based upon a letter from the library board thanking the women for their decoration ot the room In the past, but requesting that their plans for future decorations be sub mltted for the endorsement of the board. A year ago the library beard gave the department permission to decorate the children's room, and the women at that time placed a number of fine pictures there, On February 22 they added Stuart's full length portrait of Washington, and a few weeks ago bad ordered a cast of "Diana and the Stag," of herolo slxe. to cost $100, to be placed in the center of the room.

Walker asks the city of Omaha to pay for a pair of pants, but doesn't say whose pants they were. He mailed a claim for $18.60 to the council and the council has referred it to the city attorney. Judge Cockrell is now spending his days and nights scrutinizing persons whose nether garments are new. With the claim came an explanation ot how it happened. Harry wrote that In the evening of February 13 he was walking long Fifteenth street between Dodge and Capitol avenue "without knowledge" and that he caught his foot on a fourteen-fcot timber 6x6, which lay across the sidewalk and which "caused me to fall with such force and violence as to tare his pants and hat so as to render them entirely worthless and also giving me a severe shock by said fall." The problem that confronts the city is a serious and complicated one. By the use of the first person singular pronoun, Walker Implies that Walker himself was the walker who walked, who fell and who suffered the- shock. But by switching In the middle of the sentence to a use of the third person singular, he establishes that it was some other person's trousers that were torn. Now, it the trousers were not Walker's, how came Walker to walk in themT Or, was It some other walker who was walking In them when Walker walked that way and fell and tore them. And if so, how could one walker, for instance Walker himself, tear the trousers on another walker walk ing the same walk at the same time, but not with the same legs? These are some ot the problems which have been raised for the city's legal ad visers in the presentation of Walker's claim, and which must be disposed of before Walker can receive any compensation. UNION . DEPOT FOR FREMONT Elkhorn and t'nlon Pacific; Decide to Bnlld New and Costly Station. It was stated at Fremont, Elkhorn Mis souri Vally railroad headquarters yesterday morning that no doubt longer existed re garding the building of a union depot at Fremont by the Elkhorn and Union Pacific roads. Very little revision of either trackage or yardB will be required for the consolida tion, as the situation of the two lines is now nearly perfect for such an arrange ment. They come Into the town and through the depot space east and west, with the Union Pacific only a few rods south ot the Elkhorn track. . The station will be built between the two,' and the two lines moved in a little to be close to the build ing. President Burt and General Manager Bid- well of the two roads have had several con ferences on the matter of late, and now only the question of location bothers them. Some difficulty is being experienced in se curing Just the site desired, but if this cannot be obtained the station will be built on Elkhorn ground, the Union Pacific being agreeable to such a proposition in case the emergency arises. Until this is arranged the details of the building will not be gone into, but tbo general Idea of both roads is to build some thing handsome, roomy and substantial, at an expense of about $50,000. RALPH MAY SUCCEED COFFMAN Mayor Moores, However, Remains e Health Commis sioner tsoeatlon. Friends of Dr. J. B. Ralph say that they see in him the Successor to Dr. Victor Coff - man as health commissioner of the city of Omaha and tbe indications are that their assertion is well grounded. They argue that for this promotion he has equipped himself by bis long service In tbe subordi nate position and that be Is the logical man for the place. Mayor Moores still remains mute, except to say that the name of his appointee prob ably will be aent to the council at its next meeting, but it is thought that it Dr. Ralph Is so promoted the plun will be to sppolnt ss bis successor some young doctor of the proper qualifications. As physician at the Emergency hospital Dr. H. O. Strause, a practitioner of nearly middle age, has been appointed. CARPENTERS MAKE NEW SCALE Only Chance Provides for Doable Time Saturday Afternoons, Son days and Holidays. A special meeting ot the Carpenters' union was held Wednesday for the purpose of pre paring a seals for the coming season. No change was made In the usual wages, but it was provided that all overtime work and all work done Saturday afternoon, Sun days and legal holidays should be paid for at the rate of double time Instead of time and one-half, as was the rule last year. This Is done for the purpose of Insuring the Saturday half-holiday, and there is a penalty upon tbe members of the union, as well as upon the employers, for working that part of the day. It is not believed that there will be any trouble la securing the approval of the wage scale by the employers, as business prospects are so bright that neither side can afford to Lavs trouble.'

GIVES UP BIG CONVENTION Auditorium Company Will Do Nothing for Christian Church Feople. WILLING TO LET MEETING GO ELSEWHERE Committee front Chnreh People Makes Reaaesls for Financial Assistance Wl h Are Taraed Down by Aadltorlam Directors, By a unanimous tote yesterday the board of directors ot the Auditorium com pany decided that it could do nothing to ward providing for the entertainment of the Christian church convention and adopted a resolution expressing the sentl ment that the convention should not be brought to Omaha this year. This action was taken after a subcora mlttee from the general church committee had appeared with a request for altera tions in the Coliseum building Involving an expenditure of about $4,000, the altera tlons to consist ot partitions, sounding boards and permanent seats. The committee further recommended the appointment of a Joint committee to raise $10,000 for the entertainment of the dele gates. The question was discussed at length, and the unanimous sentiment was that someone connected with the board had made unwarranted assurances to ths convention in Minneapolis and that, as one member expressed it, "the Commercial club had made a note and the Auditorium com pany had Indorsed It." The committee from the church recited the representations by word and telegram made by Mr. Sanborn to the Minneapolis convention and to the board of general sec retarlea at the time they were in the city. The formal resolution adopted by the directors will be presented to the church committee and the Commercial club. The membership of the auditorium board personally promised to endeavor to raise $1,000 to pay the present expenses ot the general church committee in case it would be found advisable to take the convention to another city. President Sanborn was not present at the meeting, having gone to Marshalltown, la., Wednesday night.
