attorney of New York City, took place. Only
130 guests were Invited, the bride desiring
a quiet wedding. Mgr. Anatole Oster, who
officiated at the wedding of Mr. and Mrs.
James J. Hill, was an honored guest today,
but the ceremony was performed by Arch
bishop John Ireland, assisted by Rev.
Thomas J.. Gibbons of this city, both In the
full vestments .of their office. The bride
was attended to her place before the clergy
men in ' the drawing room by her father,
who presented her to the groom. She was
assisted by her slater. Miss Rachel Hill, as
bridesmaid, while Eric Dahlgren was best
man for the groom.
An Informal reception followed the cere
mony. Mr. and Mrs. Balrd will reside in
New York City and the honeymoon will be
spent at North Oaks, Mr. Hill's summer
borne, near this city.
The bridal procession was extremely
simple. As the guests stood about In con
versational attitudes the music of the
bridal chorus from "Lohengrin" was heard
from the music room across the hall. There
was no music except that of the pipe or
gan. George H. Falrclough, organist at the
Church of St. John the Evangelist, being
the pcrfo'-ner.
Arch' Ireland, accompanied by the
agtd ' ' r, who officiated at the mar
riage ' brlde'a parents, and Rev.
Tboinuj Gibbons, the 'bride's pastor, en
tered first. Following the group of ec
clesiastic were the groom and his best
man. Mr. Dahlgren. Then came Miss
Rachel Hilt, walking alone, and following
her the bride with her father.
The bride's gown was of plain white
satin, very heavy and vry rich, but plain
almost to severity. It was fashioned with
the conventional high bodice and long
sleeves and court train. The only garni
ture was the point lace, which was draped
about the yoke and was appllqued upon the
skirt.
A tulle Tell completed the costume. Miss
Hill carried no flowers. '
Miss Rachel Hill wore a simple, but very
pretty gown of pink chiffon and carried del
icate pink flowers, tJntrmlnislrd-wV) a. bit
of green.' .
The ceremony. by.the-archblsnpp .was very
Impressive and solemn. Before the service
he spoke briefly upon the spiritual signifi
cance of the marriage rite, of tta separate
ness and distinction from the civil contract
of wedlock. Following the ceremony an
elaborate wedding breakfast was served.
The out-of-town guests included Mrs.. F.
M. Beard. Mr. and Mrs. Walter. Tayjor, Will
Beard and Mark Reeves of New York. Mr.
and Mrs. Eric B. Dahlgren of New York,
F. H. Rawson of Chicago and Count Mat
sukata, the Japanese statesman, and his
suite.
In many particulars the event resembled
the wedding of Miss Charlotte Hill to Mr.
Slade last October. The most striking sim
ilarity was the presence at the ceremony
of a Japanese count with his suite of
Oriental dignitaries. Count Ito. the Jap
anese statesman, was an honored guest at
the other wedding. The eastern dignitaries
present with Count Matsukata were his
sons, Ooro Matsukata and Chollko Matsu
kata; T. Megata, Japanese director of taxa
tion, and B. Tukal of the Bank of Japan.
Following a custom established at the
time of the wedding of Miss Hill's elder
sister, Mr. Hill allowed tha bride, to select
any picture she preferred from his splendid
gallery . of paintings. The bride, among
other presents received S250,0OO In bonds
from her father.
. One of the most magnificent presents re
ceived by the bride was a solid gold salver
sent by J. Plerpont Morgan. The groom's
present to the bride was a handsome neck
lace of beaded gold set at Intervals with
rubies and emeralds, and a large emerald
pendant.

THEN COMES REPORT OF THE REFEREE
Molntosh Pate Webster aa the stand
aa Asks If He Had Conference
with Haacall, bat Get
No Aaawer.
The taking of evidence In the tax man
damus case came to an abrupt close at 11
yesterday morning, at which hour both
sides rested. There now remains about six
hours of argument, three tor each side, and
ths long bearing will conclude. The at
torneys expect to finish by Thursday noon.
Attorney Mcintosh hss the opening and
closing of the argument, and Attorneys
Webster, Hall and Morsman will Intervene.
"My argument will be confined to three
points of law," said Mr. Mcintosh yesterday
morning. "I shall speak upon section 52
of the general revenue law, which has
figured rather prominently in this hearing,
to the functions of the Board of Equaliza
tion, and to the fact that the absence of
a law directing the assessor to assess a
certain class of property (franchises)
doesn't excuse him from asseselng such
property."
Attorney Webster said: "I shall endeavor
to cite authorities bearing upon facts dls-
i closed since the earlier stages of this
bearing. Heretofore we have been handi
capped more or less by there being ao much
Speculation and conjecture aa to what facts
would be adduced. I can ssy probably all
I care to ssy In two hours, aad I trust that
this discussion will lighten the labors of
your honor In drawing up your report."
Councilman Zlmman was the first witness
on the stand, to which he was called by
Mr. Mcintosh. He gave some evidence
supplementary to the record of the Board
of Equalization.
Lawyer Webster on Stand.
Mr. Mclntoah then asked Attorney Web
ster to take the stand.
"Who was the last speaker before tbe
Board of Equalization on tbe afternoon of
Friday, January 17?" was asked.
"I think I was."
"Did you argue that the board could not
raise assessments, but - could only reduce
tbeaT" .. ....... . ,
The witness waited for Attorney Mors
man to object. The objection waa sus
tained. Mr. Mcintosh took exceptions and
offered the answer, "I did." Objections
were taken to the answer, which were also
sustained.
"Did you at that time argue, Mr. Webster,
that tha assessments of the various public
service corporatlone were equal to the
assessments of all other property In the

"I don't think I spoke on that phase of
tbe subject."
"Did you argue that If the Omaha Street
Railway company was a paying concern Its
success was due to good management, and
that the city had no right to assess Frank
Murphy's brains?"
Mr. Webster again watted for tbe objec
tion, which this time waa not forthcoming.
The referee directed him to answer.
"I believe 1 said something to that effect."
Inquires A boot Haecall. '
"Was Councilman Hascall with you In
your office In the New York Life building
Sunday, January 19?"
Thla waa objected to, and the objection
wss Sustained. Mr. Mclntoeh offered the
answer. "He was." "
"Did you draft the original of the motion
Introduced by Hascall at the board meeting
the following day relating to tbe eighty
eight complaints?"
"I did not."
Mr. Webster wss excused from the stand
and thla concluded the taking of evidence.
The remainder of the forenoon was spent In
arranging for the copying of exhibits which
are to accompany the brlefa to the supreme
court. Mr. Mcintosh offered to have his
forty-nine exhibits copied without expense
to tha city. The hearing will begin at
o'clock this morning In order that the
arguments may be finished by noon.
Mcintosh Argnei Attain.
At the close of the noon recess Mr. Mo
lntosh began his argument. "My remarks
will be very general," said he, "and I shall
confine them largely to pointing out In what
way our lawa define tbe manner of making
assessments. The legislature has no right
to pass a law that will permit any piece of
property to escape Its Just share of the
assessment. The fundamental law of the
atate fixes the exemptions, and Just so far
aa a legislative enactment la In conflict
with that fundamental law It is void.
"It Is the first duty of the tax commis
sioner and of tbe other assessing bodies to
effect a uniform assessment of all property,
and whenever a statute conflicts with thla
duty It is unconstitutional and should be
disregarded. Tbe tax commissioner Is to be
governed by tba general revenue law only
cO far as It applies. When It says that be
shall estimate the value of a franchise by
subtracting the amount of the bonds from
the amount of the capital atock It doea not
apply, and he ahould disregard It."
Referee Ryan agreed with Mr. Mcintosh
that this clause In section 22 of the revenue
law waa an obvious error on tbe part of
the legislature.
Hall Saya Wlao Men Differ.
Attorney Hall of tbe water company fol
lowed. "I have no quarrel with Mr. Mc
intosh," aald be "aa to the broad principles
of law which require that all taxes shall
be equal. I think we are all agreed as to
that, and It hardly need be mentioned.
Bat let u inquire Into tbe matter as to
whether these relators have really Buffered.
Tbe question of property values Is one
upon which wlaa men, even experts, may
differ widely. Tbta will bo shown by the
board'e journal. Councilman Zlmman
wanted tba corporation assessment, fixed
at all tha way from three to four times
what tbay wsre when tbe Board of Review
got through with them. Councilman Hoye
wasted then approximately doubled. Others
wanted thla and that, showing the widest
variation. It almply shows that th best
that can be done In tbe way of fixing val
uation la to get tbe best evidence possi
ble and then reduce all to a theoretical
basis of equality.
Attorney Morsman of tho telephone com
pany waa the next speaker "The only
thing a mandamus can accomplish In this
case," be aald, "Is to command tbs Board
of Equalisation to reconvene and review Its
Judgment. But ths courts have held that
a mandamus compelling a quasi-Judicial
body to review Its own Judgment cannot
Issue, ' so the, .relators are estopped from
this form of relief." t .
Wfb.trr Takes Another Tara,
Mr. Morsman waa followed by Mr. Web
ster, who will closs ths case tor tbe re
spondents. He spoke thirty minutes yes
terday afternoon and will have an hour this
morning In which to nnlab. Mr. Webster,
like Mr. Morsman, brought out nothing new
In bis argument, but reiterated th many
technical points mads In bis former ad
dresses. He placed considerable atress on
tbe points that a peremptory writ of man
damus must follow ths alternative writ,
including all Ita provisions and having all
Its Umltatloaa Tbe application of this la
that, oa the theory af tbe respondents, tbe
alternative writ command the Board of
(equalization to " perform aa Illegal act
namely, "to ascertain th fair cash value of
the five public service corporations." This,
they hold, cannot be done, because (he
Board of Equalization Is not sn assessing
board, but an equalizing board.
According to schedule Mr. Mcintosh will
finish his reply by noon, but he eaid last
night that he will not occupy all of his al
lotted time. He Is confident of success.

FUEL, MADE THE MAIN POINT
Comparative Tests of Locomotive
Made on Egyptian nail
' road.
LONDON'. April 2. A parliamentary paper
Issued today glvee correspondence respect
ing the comparative merits of the American.
British and Belgian locomotives now In use
In Egypt. In a dispatch to tbe foreign sec
retary. Lord Lansdowne, December 31, cov
ering a number of reports received from
railroad officials, the BrltlRh diplomatic
agent and consul general In Egypt, Lord
Cromer, draws the general conclusion that
the main reason why so many orders for
railroad plants have been given to the
United States, that American firms sre able
to execute them with extraordinary rapidity,
due largely to the system of standardization.
In respect to price Lord Cromer finds the
British firms can hold their own where spe
cial designs have to be executed. With re
gard to workmanship. It Is st least equal
if not superior to American building, while
In consumption of coal the British engines
have a decided superiority over American,
though not aver the Belgian engines. .
The British manufacturers' weok point J
delay in executing orders. ' The reports
show that the 'American tenders 'pt-omised
delivery within one-third of the time re
quired by the British firms, while they of
fered to supply standard locomotives of
equal suitability 19 per cent below the Brit
ish . price, though the tatter's tenders for
locomotives built on Egyptian specifications
were. lower than the American offers.
, The correspondence includes the result
of a series of trials of American and Brit
ish freight and . passenger engines, con
ducted by a representative of tbe Baldwin
company and a locomotive Inspector of the
Egyptian railroads, from which it appears
that the American freight engines con
sumed 25.4 per cent more coal than the
British,' while the latter drew 14.2 per cent
more load. With the same load tbe Ameri
can passenger engine consumed 50 per cent
more coal than Ihe British engine.
Mr. Johnstone, president of the railroad
board, concludes his report with a warning
against the condemnation of American loco
motives, because these trials have been
unsatisfactory,, pointing out that the Eng
lish engineers and firemen are not so mus
cular or Intelligent as the Americans and
that alterations had to be made to enable
them. operate . the locomotives satisfac
torily. He says be knows of railroads
where a suitable American design has been
selected and where the difference In coal
consumption Is very small.
