Mahsmmltt, city Inspector of weights and measures. Is trained on the market place and Thomas P. has announced that he la out for blood and for short measures. He announces that his specialty for the present will be the seven-elgbtbs measures and that he proposes to make' a collection of them that will be something for future generations to pondef over. Already he has a quarter-section of his office In the city hall filled with bushel baskets that hold only twenty-eight quarts, half-bushel baa- kets that hold fourteen quarts and smaller measures that hold as little as unscrupulous dealers think the public will pay far. "It is time for my spsual crusade to begin in earnest," the Inspector says, "and I am going after the cheaters hard before the apple and fruit season begins, as It Is then thst the public is most frequently vic timized. My method will be one of con fiscation, for that la about the only thing I can do so long as the market men and peddlera use ths measures for the one pur pose of displaying their goods. Every short measure I find I will seize and keep and if the owner wishes to take the matter Into court I will be glad to have htm do so, for then I shall have another way of getting at him without the cost of bringing the suit myself. "From the discoveries I have made this year I have drawn the conclusion that housewives and others who buy directly from the market men should pay particu lar attention to the. tta and metal measures, supposed to hold half pecks and pecks. I am finding many that have been made small and still mors that have been cut down dexterously and false bottoms In serted. The work seems to have been done In precisely the same manner In a great many Instances and I wouldn't be sur prised to discover that somebody Is making spestalty of this trick. If he Is I will hunt him out and then I can probably get hold of most of the offenders in a bunch, for will not only prosecute him, but force him,- if possible, to give the names of all for whom he has done such work. "Judge Gordon used to be a constant dis couragement to tnls department, for no matter how many offenders I apprehended the Judge would turn them loose with no fine at all or only such small ones that the effect of the prosecution , was lost. With Judge Berka on the bench, I think we can get different results. A fine of $25 will have a good effect and I hope to have It Imposed on somo offender whose cheatiag will warrant it at any sarly date.' Of Interest to Csmpcri-Ont. Many of our readers occasionally go Into camp on a hunting or fishing trip or prospecting or ranohlng.

INVESTIGATES CAS BUSINESS Lawyer Mcintosh Endeavors to Ascertain Cost of Making Illnmbant EXAMINES SUPERINTENDENT OF WORKS Witness Tells of Materials Ised, bat Doesn't Know What It Casta to Make a Thoasaad Feet of Gas. Inquiry Into the valuation of the Omaha Oaa company's property was resumed before the Board of Equalization yesterday morn- ,ng. Jonn B KIumpp IUperintendent of the rnnrn: m...f....,i... .v.. - - - m uan, lus luav t U V, V U kUC stand the greater part of the, forenoon and was followed by Tax Commissioner William Fleming. The morning session wss void of features, being devoted very largely to a technical inquiry into the mfithod of gas manufacture, the cost and quantity of materials used and the like. Mr. Fleming reiterated ths testimony given by htm before the supreme court's referee, explaining how, under his direc tion, tfie real and personal property of the city was assessed. President Karr seems to have been study ing up on law points governing the admis sion of evidence since last Saturday, as his rulings are now much more favorable to the complainants. Attorney Prltchett's ab jections to Attorney Mcintosh's questions are as numerous as sver, but President Karr In ths forenoon overruled everyone of them. The council held together well and there waa no sign of a division on fac tional lines. Says Battln Oaatht to Know. A significant point in ths testimony of Mr. Klumpp was that Isaac Battln, treas urer, was In a position to know as to the value, mileage and condition of the com pany's gas mains. Mr. Battln testified Sat urday that he had no knowledge on thla subject. Mr. Klumpp was induced, not without considerable pains on the part of Attorney Mcintosh, to give the following Information about his department: The company manu factures 2,500,000 cubic feet of gas per day. The principal ingredients in the manufac ture of gaa are coal, crude oil and water. The witness said he didn't know how much coal the company used in 1901, nor did he know how much gas could be made out of a ton of ooal. As to Depreciation. v In cross-examination by Attorney Pritch- tt Mr. Klumpp aald the company's prop erty had depreciated in value greatly In the two years he had been superintendent of Its manufacturing plant.. The depreciation of Its entire personal property, Including man ufacturing apparatus, boilers and mains, he thought, bad been about 25 per cent since 1897. Tax Commissioner Fleming testified that he had assessed all ths property of ths city, both personal and real, at 40 per cent of Its fair cash value. The property of the five public service corporations had been subjected to the same rule as other prop erty. Hascall asked him by what right he assessed it at 40 per cent of Its fair cash value when the law said It must be assessed at its fair cash value. Because the 40 per cent basis has been the custom for years,' was the answer, and because to assess at a fair cash value would bs to levy an unequal assessment, since the railroad property of the city was assessed on the 40 per cent basis by the State Board of Railway Assessors." Did the gas company, in making its re turn to you of its personal property, In clude an Item of $2,087,000 of bonded In debtedness?" asked Mr. Mcintosh. "It did." Deducting; Amount of Debts. "And did you. In compliance with sec tion 31 of the revenue law, deduct that from the valuation of Us personal prop erty?" "I didn't deduct that much." "Did you make the company's assessment lower than you would otherwise have done on acccount of that law?" I did." 'Now, since you know that law to be In valid and that you have no right to de duct the Indebtedness, do you believe that your flsure, not n,gn M tney inoul(j have been?' "I do." Aram on Forty Trr Cent Baals. Ths first hour of tho afternoon session was devoted to an argument between At torney Mcintosh and Attorney Prltchett on the subject of the 40 per cent basis. Mr. Prltchett said In part: "The assessors and Board of Review may have adopted the 40 per cent basis of assessment, but they did not employ It. It may have been 5 per cent, or It may have been 25 per cent, but It wasn't 40 per cent. With the exception of perhaps ons of the Ave corporations ths 40 per cent basis was not employed In a single Instance In this city. Men who were worth as much as $50,000 would glvs In their property at $500 and the assessors would accept It at that figure, take 40 per cent of It, which Is $200, and the assessment would be so en tared on the tax rolls, and they call that applying the 40 per cent standard." Mr. Mcintosh said In part: 'l dare aay many of the assessors did err In many Instances In arriving at the value of prop erty, but that doesn't change the atandard of assessment they employed the 40 per cent basis Just the same. The question Is, What was the aim they had? not whether they always succeeded in fixing the correct valuation upon the property. There was a time when complaints could havo been made against any unequal assessments, and that waa before the Board of Equalisa tion reported. The fact that such com plaints were not made is equal to an ad mission that the assessments were equita ble and Just. Will you admit, gentlemen of ths board, that you certified back to ths tsx commissioner a tax list In which personal property was assessed . at one standard and real property at another?" Draalr Assessors Teatlfv. Tbe remainder of the afternoon was taken up with the testimony of deputy ss seesors, eleven of whom were on tbe stand, as follows: O. W. Covell. A. F. Ross. P. U Forgan, D. C. Ooodson. Benjamin Durham, C. E. Forbes, M. J. Greevy, J. L. Ford, James McMoonles, John B. Emblen and Emll Mots. All testified to substantially the same facts, that the tax commissioner had instructed them to ascertain the fair rash valus of personal property and then taks 40 per cent of that sum as tbe as sessable value, and all had attempted to the best of thalr ability to apply that rule. This morning the six remaining deputy assessors will testify. Tbs indications now ar that tbe hear ing of the gas company wiii conciuds to day.

VICTIM REFUSES TO DIVULGE NAMES Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Foster Find the Woman Lying Face Down and Just Recovering Con sciousness. A refined looking, well dressed woman, about 25 years of age, was found In an un conscious condition In the west side of Hanscom park near Center street at 7:30 o'clock Sunday evening. After being re stored to consciousness she refused to give her name and stated that she had been drugged by a man with whom she had beeu topping at the Her Grand hotel. At 7:30 o'clock Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Fos ter of 2130 South Thirty-third street were passlngthe park, when a man rushed out and told them a woman had fainted In the park. Mr. and Mrs. Foster found tbe woman lying face down almost uncon scious. A handkerchief which was near the woman'a face was saturated with chloro form. Dr. B. M. Campbell was called and restored the woman to consciousness. She refused to give her name and stated that she did not want anyone to know of ,the affair. 'My companion," she said, "asked me to take a drink of whisky and I did so, and began to loss my senses almost immedi ately. I remember of seeing htm leave me and that 1 all." Ths. patrol wagon was sent for, but by tbe time It arrived the woman had recovered and was able to walk alone. She requested Dr. Campbell to accompany ner to tbe Burlington depot, which he did. and tbe woman boarded a westboirnd train.
