REFEREE STANDS BY RECORD, HOWEVER
F. D. Wead oa Witness Btaad Explains
Why fthrlver and Martoa Were
Bronaht Into Cut mm
Complainants.
-uch of. the lawyers attending the tax
nandamui hearing as are blessed with pro
phetic vlilon claim to be able to tee th
end of the preient dreary seaalon. Looking
down the vista of time, they predict that
Wednesday of next week will see Its con
elusion. According to this calculation two
more days are allowed In which to ex
amine witnesses, and one day In which
to sura up the case. Court will adjourn
Friday evening to Monday morning, and the
chances are it will adjourn Monday night
until Wednesday morning, as a city election
will be held in Lincoln Tuesday, and Ret
area Ryan wants to be there to vote.
At the conclusion of Thursday afternoon's
aession Attorney Webster announced that
unless something unexpected came up In
conference In the meantime, the respond
enta would rest their case early this
morning. Attorney Mcintosh, in turn, an
nounced that bis first witness thli morning
would be City Clerk Elbourn, and that the
aecond witness would be City Councilman
Zlmman.
The hearing was tnllvened yesterday
n.ornlng by Mr. Mcintosh repeating his
accusation of forgery in compiling the
Board of Equalization record. The ques
tion came up while he was cross-exsmlnlng
Witness Fred D. Wead of the Real Estate
exchange.
"Did you, as chairman of the tax com
mittee of the Real Estate exchange," asked
Mr. Mcintosh, "indicate what members of
the exchange you wished to address the
Board of Equalization?"
Attorney Morsman objected to this for
the reason that the record of the board Is
the best evidence.
lira t p Fnrarry Charge.
, Referee Ryan said: "If the purpose of
the counsel In asking the question la to dls
, credit the witness' testimony by showing
that it Is in conflict with the record, 1
shall overrule the objection, but If the pur
pose Is to discredit the record by this wit
ness' testimony, then I must sustsln the
objection. As matters are now I must re
gard the record aa a verity."
"Oh, this record is not necessarily a ver
ity, your honor," replied Mr. Mcintosh. "I
propose to show that a large part of it was
'made up' and that one of the exhibits they
have offered here today, purporting to have
been taken from the record, la an absolute
forgery!"
The referee smiled indulgently and said,
"Let ua face our troubles one at a time,
Mr. Mcintosh."
"And not only that," resumed Mr. Mcin
tosh, "but I propose to show, your honor,
that a majority of this city council, a'tt ng
aa a board of equalization, was so sealous
to serve the corporations that even when
one of the corporationa volunteered to per
mit its assessment to be raised thla ma
lortty wouldn't raise It."
The corporation lawyers nudged each
other and laughed heartily.
"How do you propose to show that the
record, has been falsified ?" asked one of
them, banterlngly.
"By the minutes that were taken during
the course of the sitting," was the answer,
"The city clerk haa them over there,".
Connell Reads Record.
City Attorney Connell occupied the first
hour' of the hearing Thursday forenoon In
reading the Journal of the Board of Equal
ization of January 17, at which time an al
leged bearing waa bad on the eighty-eight
complaints or the Real Estate exchange
When he had finished Attorney Morsman of
the telephone company took hla turn aa
aookesman. He called to the stand Prank
D. Wead, a real estate agent and chairman
of the tax committee, which drew up the
eighty-eight complaints for the exchange.
Asked to give the names of the. other
members of the committee, he answered,
C. C. Oeorge, John 8. Knox, A. L. Reed.
C. P. Harrison. Charlea Saunders, S. P.
Boatwlck and John L. McCagua.
i "Why did you have so many complaints?"
asked Mr. Morsman.
"Well, we had 1,000 blanks printed, so aa
to give everyone a chance to complain who
wanted to."
"And out of that thousand you got eighty
eight of them filled out?"
"Yea, air."
"Tho object waa to make a sort of dem
onstration agalnat the corporations, waan't

"We had aome such purpose."
"When did you employ Mr. Mcintosh aa
your attorney?"
t "I don't know; It waa ahortly afttr the
eighty-eight complaints were turned down."
"When did Morton and 8hrlver appear
Vpon the acene?" i
"The aame day, I think."
"Your committee sent for them, did it?"
"Yes, sir."
"At the suggestion of Mr. Mcintosh?"
"Yes, air."
Aboat Bhrlver aad Morton.
"What waa your purpose in sending for
them?"
: Mr. Mcintosh objected to this question
nd bis objection waa sustained.
"Aa a'matter of fact." resumed Mr. Mors,
tnan, "you aent for Morton and Bhrlver be
cause they hadn't signed any of the original
eighty-eight complaints. Isn't that true?
' You were afraid to usa any of the original
eighty-eight aigners, because you knew they
bad had a bearing and therefore they
wouldn't be granted another hearing. Isn't
that true?"
Mr. Mclntosh'a objection to thla waa aua

board'e record, there bad In reality been no
hearing on the eighty-eight complaints
Court adjourned for the noon recess.
Debate Not a Hearing.
At the close of the noon recess P. D.
Wead resumed the stand, and Mr. Mcintosh
took up the cross-examination. "Now, In
reference to the alleged hearing of those
eighty-eight complaints," said the attorney.
isn t It true that nothing occurred be
fore the Board of Equalization in
that connection except a debate be
tween several members of the Real
Estate exchange, Mr. W. 8. Popple
ton and Mr. Mcintosh on one side and sev
eral corporation officers and corporation
lawyers on the other?"
Attorney Morsman objected to thla aa
not proper cross-examination, and Mr. Mc
intosh aald:
"Your honor, they contend there was a
hearing and that the result of that hearing
waa an adjudication of our complaints.
Now, we want to ahow that there waa no
hearing and consequently no adjudication."
Attorney Morsman'a objection waa sus
tained. "Mr. Wead, la It true that taxpayers
other than members of the Real Estate
exchange are contributing to the support
of this litigation?" waa the next question
of Mr. Mcintosh.
"Yes, that Is true."
"About what proportion of members to
nonmerabera?"
"Oh, there are three or four times aa
nonmembers?"
Mr. Mcintosh then read over the nsmes
appearing on the eighty-eight complaints,
and asked the witness to tell whether or
not the signers were members of the ex
change. It was found that only about one-
fourth of them were members.
Authority to Slnjn Complaints.
Attorney Morsman questioned the author
ity of the real estate sgents to sign com
plaints in the names of tbetr principals.
Several of the complaints were so signed,
he said. Mr. Wead aald he thought none
of the agenta signed without authority.
Tax Commissioner Fleming wss recslled
by the respondents.
"Mr. Fleming, you said the other day that
you sent out blank schedules to taxpayers,
to be filled in by them with Items of their
property and lta value," ssld Attorney
Morsman. "Did you accept these values aa
conclusive?"
"I did unless I had some good reason to
question the truth of the returns; then I
had the facta investigated."
"But you wouldn't have nny good reaaon
unless you happened to know or suspect
the facta, and this In the nature of things
could hannen only In rare Instances. Ian't
that true?"
Mr. Fleming didn't agree with Mr. Mors
man.
"Now, your honor," aald the attorney,
"bow can there be any basis of assessment
or any uniformity of assessment If the tax
commisaloner Is going to take the word of
Tom. Dick and Harry, aent In lndiscrlm
lnately, without oath or other check upon
their tendency to prevaricate?
The referee said he wouldn't go Into that
phase of the case.
Webster Cnlla ShriTer.
Relator William O. Bhrlver waa the next
witness on the stand, to which, much to
the aurprlse of the spectatora, he was called
bv Attorney Webster of the responaents.
He testified that he had elgned twenty of
the original eighty-eight complaints, eight
of them as an Individual and twelve of
them by the firm name of Wyman-Shrlver
company, in the firm's capacity aa agent
for the owners.
"Did the owners authorize you to uigm
for them?" waa Mr. Webater'a next ques-
tlc-n.
"Yea, sir, I have the written permission
of each of them to sign for them and to
represent them In this litigation."
Mr. Webster aald be didn't care to ad
dress any more questtona to this witness,
He was cross-examined by Attorney Mcin
tosh.
"I notice, Mr. Shrlver." said he, "that In
addition to your Individual signature,
which Is written In ink, there la also on
these complaints the name of the firm, Wyman-Shrlver
company, In rubber stamp
Why did you put that there?"
"So that when the Board of Equalisa
tion fixed the time for hearing them a no
tice of the fact could be aent to our office."
"Well, waa there any such notice sent?
Mr. Bhrlver s negative answer wss
drowned by Attorney Webster's objection,
"That's not cross-examination!" he
shouted. "I didn't ask the witness any
thing about whether a notice had been aent
blm or not."
The referee sustained the objection. The
hearing adjourned until 1:30 this morning,

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH 0MAI1A
Republican Will Hold Bally at Armory in
City Hall Tonight,
INTEREST IN SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION
Jay I.averty, Dana Morrill and Albert
I'eteraon Generally Itrasrded as
Excellent men to Manage
rabllc School Affairs.
There will be a big rally of republicans at
the troop armory In the city hall building
tonight. All of the candidates, It was
atated yesterday, will be present and be-
ides these a number of well known speak
ers have been Invited. Henry C. Murphy, A.
L. Sutton and possibly two or three more
well known republicans will deliver brief
ddrcsses.
"The nearer election day comes," said a
republican last night, "the more it looks
like the election of Koutsky and the re
publican ticket. Loecbner ia losing ground
every day and ao Is Slosne. To my mind It
Is now only a queatlon of Koutsky'a plural
ity. He Is a sure winner. Koutsky haa
shown by hla acts as treasurer that be la
man of executive ability and he certainly
will give to the city of South Omaha a
good, clean administration. As for the can
didates for council they are all well known
republicans and really do not need any In
troduction to the public. As the election
Is at large every voter In the city will have
an opportunity of expressing his choice for
the council."
Considerable Interest Is taken by the
people In a reorganisation of the Board of
Education. The republican candidates are
especially well thought of. There is Jay
Laverty, a prominent business msn and a I
plendtd citizen. He Is deeply Interested In
church work snd will doubtless head his
ticket In the coming race. Dana Morrill,
another of tho republican nominees for the
board, .has been In business In South Omaha
for years. He haa made a success of It
and it is asserted that this goes to show
that he is competent to hsve a voice In
the handling of the school district money.
Albert Peterson Is employed In a clerical
position at Swlft'a and la considered a
plendld accountant, so that his servicea
on the board would be valuable to the peo
ple, especially at this time when grave
financial questions are to come up shortly.
The republican meetings held last night
were well attended and a great deal of
confidence In the ultimata result of the
campaign waa shown.
Provision of the Registration.
On Saturday of this week the board of
registration will sit for the purpose of
revising the registration liat made prior to
the election last November. All those who
desire to vote must register. For those who
have changed their abode since the laat
election the judges and clerks will give
transfers, so that no one who desires will
be deprived of a vote. The registration
board will sit from 8 a. m. until 9 p. m.
These placea have been designated by the
council for this revision of the registra
tion: First Ward Plrst precinct, drugstore
Twentieth and Missouri avenue; 8econd

Tbo City Assessment.
Tax Commissioner Fitzgerald aald yester
day that he would have until April 15 to
name hla deputies and that work on mak
ing the city levy would not commence thla
year until May 1. "Thla work." aald Mr.
Fitzgerald, "must be completed by June IS.
As I have the records In good shape the
forty-five daya allowed by law will be
ample time In which to make the assess
ment." The board of review will alt from
June 15 to June 25 and receive eomplatnta
from property owners. It Is hoped thst the
result of the work of the tax department
this year will ahow a marked Increase In
the valuation of the property owned by the
corporationa.
IJqaor License Applications.
The Omaha Evening Bee tonight will
print about forty applications for liquor
licenses. All licenses expire on May 1
and under the law the council must grant
new licenses. before this dste. This yesr
the license fee will be $1,000. Bo far no
effort haa been made by the council to levy
an occupation tax, and It ia possible that
nothing of the aort will be done, as the
life of the preaent council Is ao short.

ten years has It consistently tried to add
to the value of what It bandied In the way
of manufacture, and thus tt hsa missed Its
greatest opportunities. What may be
done by manufactory in Omaha and other

These examoles are illustrations of a gen

felt. Within a few yeara the Commercial

correct a faulty condition. The establish
ment of manufactories will eerve a double
purpose. It will give greater atability
to the town'a life by the employment of
Its citizens and It will also create home
markets for the raw materials that are
now sent far away. Notwithstanding lta
situation In the very heart of the wheat
and corn lands, Omaha Is not a grain mar
ket. Tha state's great crops of grain sift
through Omaha's fingers, going to enrich
other towns. This Is likely to be remedied
before the new century gets into Its teens
and the change will link the farm and the
city into a firmer union and give to both a
clearer understanding that their Interests
