10 THK OMAHA DAILY TIIUHSDAY, A I' II I L IT. 1002. FREIGHT RATES CUT FIGURE Becretary TJtt Pointi Out Omaha'i Advan tage on Indian Supplies. LOCAL MEN EXPECT SOME CONTRACTS Fallare tn Specify Omaha lellerr for lra Likely Hrlna A hunt Sonar Actlltjr In Wi.hinc Ion Official Circles. John E. I'tt, secretary o( the Commercial club. retuinel yesterday from Chicago, where he went to be present t the opening of bin's for Indian supplies. "The question of freights seemed to be one In which Omaha wan more deeply In terested than anything else after the fig urea had been submitted," said he. "When I met the commissioner of Indian supplies I told him that everything else being equal the bids of the Omaha partus would be the most favorable for the government on ac count of the lower rale from this city to the larger number of Indian reservations In the west. He seemed to doubt this state ment, so I aecured from the agents of the different railroad companies a statement showing the rntea from Chicago and other points and from ; Omaha to the different reservations. This statement bore out my contention, and I then had another inter view with Mr. Jones. When presented with the figures he seemed surprised and ad mitted that' the question of freight rates would have considerable to do with the let ting of contracts, especially when bids will be close. The result of the bidding cannot be known for some time, but Omaha was well represented and we all hope that local bidders will secure awards." The present letting of bids Is likely to cause some stir In Washington over the failure of the Indian commissioner to specify Omaha delivery on drugs thla year. In 1897 and again In 1898 the Richardson Prug company of this city secured the con tract for the sale of drugs to the Indiana. Lest year when the contracts were adver tised Omaha delivery of drugs was not pro vided for. Commissioner Jones said that a change could not then be made, but that he would specify Omaha delivery this year. The matter waa referred to Congressman Mercer, who (aid that he would see that Omaha delivery waa specified this year, but when the specifications were made no Omaha delivery was specified. Again the matter was called to the attention of the commissioner and again be said that It was too late, but he would do better tn 1903. Senator Millard heard of the matter and sent to Omaha for a statement of the en tire matter with the intention of bringing It before the Indian bureau or the Interior department for the purpose of seeing that Omaha interests are protected in the fu ture.

Fire la The Bee BallitlnsT, A few days ago a fire broke out in one of the rooms oa the second floor of The Bee building. A waste bssket caught fire, setting a Jesk ablaze. There were perhaps not a dozen tenants of the building who knew that there was a fire, and those who did were not in the least alarmed. The only damage which it realy did was to burn off the wooden door casing, for the casings are the only wooden construction In the building. There are not many buildings In Omaha where this could have occurred without having done a great amount of damage. In what kind of a building do you have your office? Any morning you may wake up and find that the eatlre contents ot your office, your valuable books and papers have been destroyed by fire. Is It not worth while to have an office in s building where fire has no terrors? There are other reasons besides its being a fireproof building. Call on R. C. Peters ft Co., the rental agents, snd they will be glad to show you sfflces which we know will please you. Announcement of the Theaters.

NOW UP TO SCHOOL BOARD Charges of Derlatloa froas Plai Contractors oa Planning" Work. a by At the next meeting of the Board of Edu cation it is probable that there will be a "showdown" tn the contest which has been carried on for some time between Archi tect Lateneer snd John Rows ft Co., the con tractors who installed the heating plant for the new High school building. Members of the board have been served with copies of a letter written by the archi tect to the contractors in which he soeclfles a number of places in which the plans have not been followed by the contractors. The architect also says that changes have been made which were not approved by him. The complaint covers four typewritten pages and contains sixty-eight separate charges of vsrlatlons from the plans. The greater number of complaints ars that smaller pipes have been used than were snectOed. that changea have been mada In the loca tion of machinery and that a number of valves provided tor In the specifications have been omitted. The- contractors snswer the srchltect In a letter to the members of the Board of Education In which each Item of complaint Is taken up by number. While admitting that the changes complained of by the architect have been made, they deny some ot the charges and say. "We have made no changes from the specifications except un der the direction of the architect and when we saw we could improve the work. Ws are willing at any time to fix up any de tective plena of work that may arise within a reasonable time and not caused by care lessness in or about the building." VOLUNTEER TO FIX CLOCK Esnerte Think They Cant Hake Bis; Timepiece Readable After Dark. Two men . from Washington have volun teered to solve the problem of the federal building clock and the cuatedlan has writ ten to the supervising architect asking that tbey be granted permission to make the experiment. When Mr. Wood well and Mr. Daugherty, lolted Btstes Inspectors of electrical appliances In federal buildings. visited the city a week or two ago the problem of securing service from the clock after the shades fall was mentioned to them, and tbey were told of the obstacles which have appeared to be iosurmountsble to lorsl talant. In spite of every failure so recorded these men announced that they had solved the problem before and that they knew of one clock of about the asms elxe which would announce the time ot night to all beholders at the distance ot a mile. Tbey bad. however, scruples against taking the matter up on their own account, so the custodian volunteersd to have the archi tect rail upon them for their solution of the clock problem. The electrical experts did not mention the way in which they would make the clock legible after nightfall, but a promise of the possibility was enough to awaken the interest of the eustodlan, to whom ths clock baa become a sort of bugbesr, sad he Is doing wbst he can te have a new plan tr'.ed. Malt-Matrlae has ths unanimous endorsement of the med ical profession.

TROUBLES OF THE ASSESSOR He Questions Good Faith of Pnblio Cry foT Equality. WANTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEARD Criticises Practice of Hoard of Equal isation In llrarlna; C omplaints Wlthnat Presence of An- leaning Officer. "Everybody is hsvlng a grest desl to say Just now about the things that the asses sors should and should not do," remarked one of the most experienced assessors ot the county's twenty-nine as he etood In the treasurer's office vesterdsy morning. "It would be helpful If they could show the same eagerness for fair returns when a call on them individually. "The fact Is the assessors of Douglas county do not f-el that the public Is sin cere to the extent that It would back them In doing what it now advises. An assessor fare Just like a dogcatcher everybody cries to have the dogs tsxed, but the first man who sees the catcher carrying away his own pet raise3 the deuce about It. Sup pose, in seeking to ascertain the real or fair value of a stock of goods on which a prominent merchant makes a return that Is apparently too low, the assessor resorts to legal procedure to force the merchant and others to appear and testify, do you suppose the commissioners and everybody else In authority, ss well aa the public, will help that assessor all they can? Not for a minute will they do that; rathnr would I expect them to throw obstacles in the wa?. Would Defend Hie Work. "Again, the assessor has no fair oooor- tunlty to defend his work when the Board of County Commissioners meets as a board of equalization, for when the property-owner makes his complaint about the assess ment he Is notified to appear for a hearing on a certain date, but the assessor is sent no such word. The complainant very often prefers that 'the assessor be not present and the matter is purposely kept quiet. When the besring is had the property owner tells his story, makes bis claims, produces his figures and, as there la no one present to dispute tbem, the commissioners. who feel themselves too busy to go out and look over the premises, often accept the complainant's word or at least compromise matters, when, had the assessor been tres ent to defend his figures, there might have been no change at all. One-Handed Ararnment. "The commissioners may be acting In the beat of faith, but how are they to tell from a one-handed debate what to do If they cannot go themselves to the cremlses and investigate? If the public la sincere In its demand for a change in methods let It require the commissioners to notify asses sors of the date of hesring on certain com plaints, just as they notify the complain ants. The assessors could collect nothing for their time, but very often thev would appear just because tbey would wish to de fend the figures attacked."
