DEPENDS ON POINTS OF LAW
T&x Mandamai Case ii Reduced to Strictly
Legal Euii.
HEFEREE RYAN DEFINES HIS POSITION
! ,
f
Vara that an hovtlna; of Furl! Re
lator Are Entitled to Writ, bat
There Ma? Be Legal
i Obslarle.
Referee Ryan has again declared him
self as to tbe status of the tax mandamus
hearing, and his position Is virtually the
am as a' week ago. He eald Monday aft
ernoon: "I am convinced that the relators are
la fact entitled to the writ. Thejr have
technically demonstrated their right to It.
and the only things standing; In the way of
it now are one or two law points upon which
I ant atlll In doubt. One of these Is section
12 of the Nebraska revenue laws, which
clearly says that In assessing franchise cor
porations the bonds must be subtracted
from the stork In order to uncertain the
value of the franchise. Does this law apply
'to corporations In cities of the metropol
itan class? That Is nue point upon which
II want light. Another Is: Had the assess
ling bodies of Omaha a right to assess prop
erty at 40 per cent or any other per cent
'of Its value, when the charter says It must
I be assessed at its fair rash value?
j "I throw out these suggestions now, gen
itlemen, eo that you will have time to con
'suit authorities on them before court con
venes again Wednesday morning. 80 far
as I am concerned, 1 don't care to hear
any further testimony along the line we
are bow Investigating, for, as I told you, I
have an abiding conviction that tbe re
lators are entitled to the writ as a matter
'of fact. However, the supreme court will
not grant a writ of mandamus if it would be
fruitless. If there are laws existing which
. tbe writ. If enforced, would violate, then
there la no use of my asking the supreme
court to grant one."
Attorney Mcintosh said: "But the court
may not look at it as you do, your honor,
o I think I had better proceed along this
line and finish my record."
Referee Ryan said: "I don't think tbe
supreme court Is Inclined to split hairs."
Mcintosh la "atlafled.
After the adjournement for the day Mr.
Mcintosh said be was perfectly satisfied
with tbe referee's position. "If it goes to
the supreme court In that shape," he said,
"there la not the least doubt but that I
ahall get my writ, because those questions
of law that bother Judge Ryan will not
last a minute with Judge Sullivan. He will
xiot let them stand in the way of the writ."
When court convened Monday morning
the attorneys clashed almost Immediately
en the- question of whether City Coyncll
men Zlmman, Lobeck and Burkley would
te permitted to give oral testimony in con
tradiction of that part of the record of the
Board of Equalization written up by City
Clerk Elbourn about a month after the
tmard adjourned. Such evidence was offered
by Attorney Mcintosh and was objected to
try counsel for the respondents. The ob
jection waa austalned. Referee Ryan held
that he did not care to Inquire into the
fact of whether or not the clerk did bis
atuty.
Attorney Mcintosh appeared fresh and
Vigorous yesterday morning after his rest of
two days. He began by continuing the ex
amination of City Clerk Elbourn. Refer
ring to the pencil minutes taken at the
time the board waa in session, he pointed
to a not made with a different kind of
at lead pencil, which read, "Agreement with
IWead," and asked:
"When was that minute made?"
"January 14," waa the answer.
Then, pointing to the note in its expanded
form in the journal, he read, "In accord
ance with the request of F. D. Wead the
tearing of all complaints against the fran
chlsed corporations waa fixed for Friday,
January Jl. at 2 p. m., and the clerk was
Instructed to ao notify said corporations."
"When waa that written?" he asked.
"February 11, 1 think."
"Could you hold in your mind the exact
words of the order an entire month?"
Attorney Webster objected to this ques
tion, and tbe objection waa sustained.
"You wouldn't undertake to say that the
language In this entry is correct?" wss
Jr. Mcintosh's next queetlon.
"No; I say It la aa I remember it," was
he answer.
. Csasellnss Ztmman Called.
Councilman Harry B. Zlmman waa then
tailed to the atand.
"Mr. Zlmman," asked Mr. Mcintosh, "was
there any order made by the board that day
relating to the hearing of the public serv
ice corporations, the etreet railway com
pany and ethers?"
"No, there "
; He waa Interrupted by the city attorney
frnd all the corporation counsel In chorus.
"You're altogether too flip yith your an
swers, Mr. Zlmman," exclaimed Mr. Web
ater, with asperity. "Both the answer and
the question were Intended for the benefit
of the presa, a ad not In the Interest of
Justice."
"His answer was the truth," said Mr.
ftfclntosh.
There waa no more testimony during the
forenoon session, the remainder of the time

being taken up In arguing the question of
whether Mr. Zlmman would be permitted
to resume his testimony. Attorney More
man of tbe telephone rompaay argued as
follows:
"Mr. Mcintosh csnnot be permitted to
Impesrh his own witness (Elbourn), your
honor, by calling another witness to tes
tify to something different."
Attorney Mcintosh said: "I will admit
that, but will that prevent us from'gettlng
st the truth? This witness Is not called
for the purpose of Impeaching Mr. Elbourn,
but that he may testify to what took place
before the Board of Equalization."
Attorney Morsman'e objection was over
ruled. Then Mr. Morsman Interposed an
other objection to the effect that oral tee
tlmony could not be introduced to con
tradlct the record, which Is held by courts
generally better than oral evidence!
Question of Memory.
To this Attorney Mcintosh spoke In part
aa follows:
"Your honor, this Is slirply a question of
memory either way we take it On the one
hand we have the memory of Mr. E'bourn,
who, after the lapse of a month,
and after he finds that the entry will be
needed in the trial of a rase, presumes to
enter in the Journal something he alleges
took place before the board. Oa the other
hand we have the memory of Mr. Zlmman
on the same subject, which should certainly
be as good. Tbe record, Mr. Elbourn ad
mits, wss made from no minutes taken at
the time. I ahall prove by expert testimony
when the proper time comes that the pencil
minute 'agreement with Wead' was made
with a pencil different from the kind the
other minutes were taken In. It would be
unjust, it would be ruinous. If the clfy
clerk, trusting to his memory for
a month and then writing down Just what
he sees fit to write down, could close the
mouths of the entire world against a record
so made."
He then cited several authorities to show
that mutilated records hsd several times In
the paat been excluded by courts to make
way for oral testimony. Court then ad
journed for the noon recess.
Zlmman Anairrn (tneatlons.
At the opening of the afternoon's session
Attorney Mcintosh resumed the examina
tion of Councilman Zlmman.
"Were you present during all of the time
the city council sat as a board of equaliza
tion?" "Yea, sir."
"Were you there when Councllmsn Has-
call made his motion to tbe effect that each
side in the corporation tax controversy be
allowod an hour and a half only in which to
present and argue their case?"
I was."
"And the record shows that that motion
carried," resumed Mr. Mcintosh. "Now,
what happened immediately after that?"
"Speeches were made by the corporation
lawyers and by members and representa
tives of the Real Estate exchange."
"Were any witnesses sworn or exam
ined?"
"No, sir."
"Was any evidence taken?"
Attorney Webster objected to this ques
tlon on the ground that If speeches were
made they took the place of testimony.
"Statements of that kind," be said, "are
Just as binding on tbe board as though evi
dence was taken In a more formal way."
Hlg objection was overruled.
Mr. Zlmman answered that no evidence
had been taken.
Court adjourned until Wednesday morn
ing, as tbe supreme court convenes Tues
day and several of tbe attorneys have cases
before it. The present estimate la that the
tax mandamus hearing will conclude about
Thursday of this week.
The Quickest Conga Eradicate.
(From tbe Shortsvllle, N. Y. Enterprise.)
This is the month that one takes cold ao
easily and quickly secures that "hacking"
cough which la so persistently disagreeable,
aa we know by personal experience. And
we also know that the quickest eradlcator
of auch cough haa been Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, and which haa been our staunch
standby for several years. This Is no paid
"puff." but merely a Just recognition of an
Invaluable remedy for coughs, colds and all
lung affections, and, like the editor. It has
scores ot other staunch friends in this
town.
A Remarkable Distribution.
The distribution ot sample packages ot

minutive samples. Last week they shipped
In a carload of Shredded Wheat Biscuit, and
on Friday commenced a house to house
distribution, tinder the direction of Frank
B. Black of Kansas City, the western sales
agent, aupervised by T. P. Jones, their

OPEN SEASON FOR FISHING
Omaha Aagflera Maklnar Arrangement
to Be Early la the
Field.
Tuesday morning ths opes season for
fishing in the lakea and streams of Ne
braska begins, and a large number of
anglers are making arrangements to be
tbe first in the field. Fishermen who de
vote their time generally to catching game
fish complain of the early open season in
this state. Tbe Iowa aeaaoa does not be
gin until April 16, and In Minnesota It is
June 1 before the capture of game fish by
ths hook and line la legal. One of ths
fisherman said:
"We will try to have the law amended
at the next session ot the legislature. It
ran be demonstrated that the spawning
season for blsck bass In Nebraska Is but
two weeks behind the season In Minnesota,
and as the law there does not permit fish
ing until June 1. here black bass should
be protected until Msy 15, but Msy 1 will
probably be tbe date offered as a compro
mise." Don't chow your bad taste, but Insist on
having Cook's Imperial Extra Dry Cham
pagne of purest vintage always.

ADDING TO COUNTY PAYROLL
Commissioners Shoot Two More Holes in
Retrenchment Schedule.
DEE AND BODWELL SECURE EXTRA HELP
Connolly Telia Oatmm that the ew
alary Schedule Is An Fnll ot
Holes that He f'oalrt ever
nerostnlr.es It.
The ncard of County Commissioners shot
two more holes In its retrenchment
schedule yesterday by giving Superin
tendent Ed Dee of the court house another
janitor and E. J. Bodwell, superintendent
of instruction, the assistant he formerly
had. County Clerk Harry C. Miller ap
pealed for authority to retain two of the
extra men now In the tax department, but
his democratic brother from South Omaha
said he would Insist on the communication
going to the committee of the whole, and
Mr. Miller had to wait. When the board
adjourned at 1:30 the persevering clerk
had the recalcitrant Mr. OKeeffe backed
into a corner and was showing him forty
soven pages of figures In an effort to prove
the necessity for the extra men remaining
on the pay roll for at leaRt sixty days.
O Keeffe voted to allow Dee his man at
150 per month, but voted a solitary nay on
the assistant for Bodwell at the same
salary. Later he created a smile by moving
to Increase the salary of the assistant
county auditor to $83.33 per month. Under
the old scnedule this was the figure, but
the retrenchment axe whittled It to $75.
Now, however, the assistant county auditor
is his personal friend, A. J. Webb, and
O Keeffe argued that he "Is as good a man
as tbe former assistant auditor and ought
to have as much pay."
Retrenchment Wave Passing;.
When the balloting got around to
Ostrom, whose man was the one sacri
ficed to make room for Webb, there was
an embarrassing pause. Finally Ostrom re
marked that "the evidences of that wave of
retrenchment seem to be disappearing,"
whereupon Connolly exclaimed with de
lighted emphasis: "Why, Henry, you
wouldn't know that revised schedule of
yours If you were to meet It face to face."
But everybody voted aye to the motion In
band.
Clerk Miller in bis communication to the
board stated that he had found it woutd
be physically Impossible to carry on the
work of the tax department with only tho
chief clerk and one assistant, but would
not retain any extra help a minute longer
than necessary.
The addition to Dee's force gives him
four day men and one at night, including
the lawn tender. The total now lacka but
one of being what It was before the re
trenchment axe was swung with auch
gusto and loud acclaim.
Collection Proposition Goea Over.
The propositions of local attorneys to col
lect the taxes due the county on percentage
were not taken up today, but will be at a
meeting of the board to be held next Thurs
day. Included in the routine business was
the extending of an Invitation to a commit
tee of the Woman'a club to attend, that
meeting of the board and discuss their "Pln-
gree gardens" project. The committee had,
by its chairman, Ida V. Tliden, filed with
the commissioners a request for $75 or $100
with which to buy aeed potatoes for the
gardens, and Harte moved to draw a war
rant at once, but Ostrom wished to be more
fully informed on the plan before voting
on such a resolution, and action was ac
cordingly deferred.
Harte introduced and moved the adoption
of a resolution making the Board of
Commissionera a county board of health.
OKeeffe bad visions of the board being
called into Infected houses to Investigate
conditions, and concluded be didn't favor
the arrangement. Finally the resolution
was changed to include, the osainty physi
cian as a member of the health board and
the motion then prevailed. Thomas Davis
waa appointed special deputy health com
missioner at $3 per day.
Improving; Thirteenth Street.
John Carson was authorized to carry out
his plan to distribute 2,400 cubic yards ot
dirt along South Thirteenth street for $200.
This makes possible the new park connec
tion by street car that South Omaha people
had asked for.
A committee representing the Douglas
County Agricultural association asked the
board to say what It proposed to do toward
helping arrange for next fall's fair, and
called attention to the fact that Bennington
Is bidding for it. The board told the com
mittee to file a financial report and then
call again for further consultation.

MAKING READY FOR PAVERS
Workmen Laying; New Street tar
Ralls on .North Twenty
Fonrth.
Descendants of Roman gladiators and
Spanish grandees are co-laboring with some
remote relatives of German barons, Irish
lords and American congressmen In an ef
fort to get the afreet railway company's
tracks on North Twenty-fourth street Into
condition for the new paving. The gangs
Include about ir.0 men and the heavy new
rails are going down with such rapidity that
the paving force, It is expected, will be
free to work In a very few dayB.
The material Is already being hauled to
various points along the route, and It is to
be the most extensive paving Job of the
year, the new pavement to extend from Lake
to Spalding street. At the city engineer's
office it is said that at least ninety days,
and probably more, will be required to fin
ish the work.
On Cass street from Sixteenth to Twenty-second
the pavers are also following the
street car track men and the blocks that
have been rotting there for ten years are
vaalshlng. Lafayette avenue la to be
tackled soon and Dodge street between
Thirty-eighth and Fortieth by April 20, or
a little later. These are all last year con
tracts, of course, the department having
not yet even asked for bids on this year'a
work. One of the projects in contemplation
Is the paving of Seventeenth frera Daven
port to Cuming, but the prospect of the
work being done Is still rather remote.
