INCREASE IN TOTAL DEPENDS ON BOARD
Equalisers Will Here to Provide tor
Additional Valuation If Any ta
to. Appear oh Tax List
('; for TMi Year. f
Employes of the county tax department
have nearly completed footing the entrtet
in the books turned In by the assessors
and there has become even more apparent
than before the fact that If the totala tn
valuation are to be materially greater than
last year's the Board of Equalization will
have to do the boosting.
Comparing the assessors' returns for 1902,
whlrh have just been footed, with the 1901
assessment aa corrected by the Board of
Equalization, it la discovered that In all
the warda of Omaha except the Sixth and
Eeventb, which are not yet checked up, the
Bet Increase on personal ha been only
$331,81)9, and on lands 34,8R, while on
lota It Is not an Increase, but a decrease
of 174,632, making the total net Increase
In the seven wards' assessed valuation only
$292,083.
For all the country precincts combined,
the Increase on personal Is I39.S70, on lands
$106,218 and on lots $14,129, the three
making a total of $159,717.
Below Is given a table secured at thn
tax department, showing how these totals
re obtained. In the column of differences
the decreases are Indicated by the minus
sign placed before the number. It may be
explained, ateo, that since the assessors
I completed their work In 1901 the precinct
' of West Omaha has been divided Into the
I to precincts, Bonaon and Dundee, and that
1 therefore In the table the West Omaha
total stands against the totals for Benson
1 and Dundee combined.

The large raise tn personal assessment
tor Douglas precinct Is explained by the
tact tbat now the Belt line Is assessed by
the eounty, whereas last year It was
Itricken from the county assessor's book
and assessed by the state. This In Itself
biakes a difference of about $31,000 in Doug
las, and the Cudahy company Jias also been
caught this year In that preefnet for $4,250
that It didn't have against It last year.
The assessor for the Third ward of
Omaha mentioned, when hs returned his
book to the county clerk, that he had made
raise of abwUt $400,000 on personal, and
hope ran high In ths breasts of those who
are demanding Increases on their neigh
bors' goods, but It Is discovered that the
increase Is on ths assessor's return for last

yesr and not on the final assessment as
msde by the board. The former was
$1,217,014 and the assessor betterel It by
$338,742 this yesr, but be Is still $136,042
below the board's figures. As usual, though
without reason. It Is said, the assessors
have left the assessing of the bsnks to the
toard.
Comparisons cannot be mads for South
Omaha, as there are now six wards where
last year there were but four. At the foot
of the table, however, will be found all this
year's totals that hare aa yet been made
by the tax department accountants.
COURT HAS ENDLESS VISION
Suggested by Another Move by Eller
la the Gordon Salary
Case.
i
It wss the year 2000 A. D. There were
new cars on the Dodge line and the Audi
torium wss completed. Air ships were
coming Into general use and Panama hats
were selling at 39 cents. District court
was being held In a hanging garden over
Cut Off lake and a bailiff In silk livery came
In to say:
"Tour honor, Judge Eller wants to know
when be can get you to hear another motion
In the Gordon salary msndamua case. He
says ."
It was the year 41144 A. D. Omaha people
were spending their nights In Switzerland
and their noon hours at Cape Nome, with
out ever being late a minute at their offices.
Judges of the dlstrlrt court heard all mat
ters by means of an autodoanythlnggraph
and there was flashed to one of them this
message:
"If convenient, Judge Eller would like to
be beard on a motion to strike from the
city attorney's answer In the Gordon salary
mandamus case certain "
It was the year 676767 A. D. Newspaper
men's working days had been reduced to
fourteen hours and the city gas Inspector's
Increased to an hour and thirty-one min
utes. Fourth of July came every third
Sunday and the Jacksonlan club and Doug
las County Democracy were quartering un
der the same roof. District Judges were
communicated with solely by telepathy and
one of them was assaulted with this plea:
"Judge Eller asks leave to file an
amended petition In the case of Gordon
against the city of."
It was the year 999999 A. D. Water was
running up hill; everybody was sprouting
his own pair of wings; Arkansas had gone
republican; Texas was strong for prohibi
tion; W. 8. Shoemaker had ceased to care
for any public office, and the millennium was
thought to be at hand. A district judge who
was taking lessons on a harp part of each
day and reading Dante's Inferno each night
paused long enough to hear:
"Judge Eller has found certain errors tn
the pleadings and would Ilka to begin anew
all litigation, in the matter of Samuel I.
Gordon vs. the - City of Omaha. He
would like also to add I"
All of which Is the suspected vision of
Judge W. W. Keysor when Eller, Gordon
and the ever-smlllng city attorney filed
into his court yesterday and secured from
him a promise to take up, Wednesday
morning, the mandamus case intended to
secure for Gordon salary as police Judge
of Omaha for the first four months of 1902.
This hearing judge Baxter eluded by telling
Eller what he thought of the farce, but
Judge Estelle viewed it in another light,
and now It Is being passed along the line.

CONSIDER SPEED ORDINANCE
Owners of Horseless Vehicles Will
Meet Wednesday Marat for ...
that Purpose.
The Automobile club of Omaha, compris
ing thirty-five members, A. I. Root, presi
dent, will hold a special meeting Wednes
day evening of this week to consider the
special ordinance Introduced In the city
council two weeks ago by Councilman Hoye.
This ordinance fixes tho maximum speed
at which an automobile may run Inside
the city limits at twelve miles an hour,
provides for carrying of lamps after dark.
and Imposes a One of $25 tor Its infraction.
Similar ordinances are In force In all of
the principal cities of ths United States.
"We don't consider this ordinance as an
tagonising the motor car owners," said Dal
ton Rtsley, secretary of the club. "On the
contrary, we regard It as a good thing, as
we do not wish to have automobtllng
brought Into disrespect by foolhardy chaf-
feurs, as It hat been In some ot the larger
cities of the east The ordinance 'as It
stands Is very satisfactory, though the
club may suggest some minor changes and
additions. For example, we may recom
mend a clause be Incorporated providing
that each car must be equipped with either
a bell or a horn."
There are now forty automobiles In
Omaha, Including every variety of motor-
gas, gasoline, steam and electricity.
Ordinances are now In force regulating
the speed ot trolley cars, bicycles and
horse power vehicles. Bicycles may run
eight miles an hour la the business dis
tricts and tea miles aa hour In the resi
dence districts; the speed of street cars is
limited to ten and twelve miles an hour to
these localities and drivers of horses must
not exceed the "speed of ordinary travel."
FORTY PER CEST VALUATION.
Important Correction ta Arttela on
Railroad Taxation.
The bulletin published under authority
or the Railroads of Nebraska in the Bee
of Monday morning contained an error
made by the Bee.
A clause of 4 sentence In ths following
paragraph was omitted. The paragraph
as It should read appears below:
"So In the same estimates or testimony
relating to the Union Paclflo line from
Kearney to the Wyoming stats line, which
comprises over one-half . of the mileage
across ths state, the testimony shows that
the assessed valuation of $9,800 per mile
through those counties represents about
40 per cent of all tangible property of the
railroad on that section of the line. It
Is, however. Incorrect and misleading to
state that any single portion ot the road
elthsr In Douglas county or In Cheyenne
or Kimball counties is assessed at $9,800
per mue."

RECRUITS FOR THE NAVY
Omaha Callsd On to Supply tit Ken
Needed to Man Ships.
ALL GRADES OF SERVICE SEEK HELP
Policemen, Sailors, Mechanics and
Apprentices Are Being Enlisted
to Meet Demand Occasioned
by Kew Vessels.
Long before the officers In charge ot tha
naval recruiting office which was opened
yesterday morning In the McCague building
could get their papers tn shape there was a
crowd lined up for Inspection, pending their
enlistment in the navy of the United States.
The party, which la here for a week, con
sists of Lieutenant W. L. Llttlefleld,
Surgeon James O. Field, Chief Boatawaln
J. J. Klllln, Warrant Machinist Frederick
Ruth, Chief Gunner's Mate Stanley Dan
lelak. Hospital Steward F. W. Hathaway,
Yeoman C. E. Parker, Hospital Apprentice
(Ftrst-Class) W. J. Helnxel and Hospital
Apprentice H. F. Toomey. Three rooms on
the first floor of the McCague building have
been retained for the use of the psrty. In
the central room there Is a place for gen
eral reception, while the doctor occupies the
east room, and the west is used as a private
office by the lieutenant In charge.
The demand of the navy at this time Is
for 8,000 men, and those desired from this
part of the country Include bakers, former
policemen, landsmen, apprentices and ordi
nary seamen. The former policemen and
discharged non-commissioned officers ot
the army are to be used on board ship as
policemen, as the size of the vessels and
the numbers in the crew make it neceesary
to maintain an effective police force on
each of the modern fighting machines which
have taken the place of the old men-of-war,
where the captain was chief of police and
the boatswain, with such assistants as
could be called together on the spur of the
moment, constituted the force when It was
deemed advisable to send one of the crew
to prison.. The official title of the police
man of the sea Is master-at-arms, and his
pay ranges from $30 to $60 per month.
Uncle Sam has placed a ban upon young
men between the ages of 17 and 18 years.
Between the ages of 15 and 17 he enlists
the boys as apprentices, pays them $9 per
month and keeps them on a training ship
until they are rated as seamen or landsmen,
when they are given place on the regular
vessels. Between the ages of 18 and 25
years they are rated according to their
ability or special fitness for particular work
or trade, but from 17 to 18 there Is no place
In the navy for them, and when such a boy
applies he la told to wait a year. Machin
ists and other men who have trades which
can be followed on board ship are taken to
the age of 85 years.
The examination of applicants for enlist
ment Is stricter now than in previous
years and men and boys must be perfect
physically before they are accepted. Par
ticular attention Is paid to the teeth, as
men with poor teeth are considered unfit,
as defective mastication is held responsible
for much of the disorders of the stomach
which occur with the sailors, especially
upon tropical stations.
From Omaha the party will go to Des
Molnea, where It will open Its office next
Monday.

TWO : SCHOOLS CANNOT MIX
Dr. Hanchett -Tells Why Homeopath
Did Not Accept Offer ot
,'. . Allopaths.
Dr. W. H. Hanchett returned yesterday
morning from the national convention ot the
American 'Institute of Homeopathy at
Cleveland, O., where for the fifth time he
was elected as chairman of the Interstate
committee. He 'reports that the principal
subject under discussion' there, from the
standpoint of the general public, was that
of the proposed amalgamation of the two
leading schools of medicine, allopathy and
homeopathy, overtures to this end having
been made by the allopaths. But the ho
meopaths modesly repulsed the advance say
ing, "Not until you recognize my faith,
which Is the true faith, can we ever meet
at the altar."
"In my address to the members," said
Dr. Hanchett, "I advised them not to listen
to the siren voice of the allopaths that
we were all ; physicians, working for a
common end, and hence should work to
gether. Not until thoy recognized the
soundness of our creed, I insisted, should
we entertain any proposition from them
looking to an alliance, and the members
seemed to share in this view.
"The American Institute of Homeopathy
Is the oldest national medical society in
America. The reports showed that much
had been' accomplished during the year
along scientific lines. In higher medical
education, and In the liberalization of all
schools of medicine."
WILL HEAR PACKERS FRIDAY
Why Their Assessments Should Not
Be Raised ta Question
at Hand.
A real estate man complained of the as
sessment of Hammond Packing company of
South Ouiaha and yesterday the County
Board of Equalization reduced his assess
ment 400, but deferred action on the Ham
mond assessment. Commissioner Connolly
said: "We did this because we intend
to take up the assessments of the stock
yards and the packing bouses in a bunch
next Friday morning and give the entire
day to them. The Hammond company will
be cited to appear with the rest.
The committee from the Ueal Estate ex
change was present in the commissioners'
chamber, gathering statistics, but has not
appeared before the board formally.
ATTACKS ROWLEY COMPLAINT
Attorney for Alleged Embenler
Make Motion for Dismissal
ot Case.
In ths trial ef Martin Rowley, charged
with embezzling $4,800 from Armour aV Co.
by false checks, the principal development
of yesterday, was ths motion of defendant's
attorney after the state's evidence was all
In' to dismiss on the ground that the com
plaint was defective because there could
be no forgery of the, name ot a man who
does not exist, which Rowley wss accused
of doing. The court overruled the motion
and tha defense then prepared to attack
the complaint on other technical grounds.
The evidence Introduced during the morning
contained nothing new.

EXCISE HOUSE OR MARKET
OonnoU to Have Another Turn at the Muoh
Vexed Question.
MOUNT TAKES UP FIGHT FOR FIREMEN
Will Propose that Capitol Avenne
Market Shed Be Abandoned In
Favor of Jobbing; District
Fire. Protection.
Councilman Mount, who returned Monday
from his sheep ranch In Colorado, has pre
pared a resolution rescinding the concurrent
resolution passed two weeks ago by which
$15,000 was appropriated to build a part
of the Capitol avenue market house, and
will seek to have the greater part of this
money used In paying for the lot at Eleventh
and Jackson 'streets, upon which it is pro
posed to erect a flne.englne house. It is
supposed that Whitehorn and Karr will
wor with him to this end.
"I'm going to make one more effort to
have the council appropriate money to pay
for that lot," said the mayor yesterday.
"It is something that needs Immediate at
tention, as we have already passed the time
limit of our option, and there is nothing
to prevent the owners pocketing the $1,000
the city paid to bind the bargain and sell
that lot to someone else. But this is not
the only argument In favor ot immediate
action. Under certain conditions, such ss
would arise If two big fire occurred at the
same time in different parts of the city,
Omaha would be virtually without fire pro
tection. We need 10,000 feet more hose.
We have now only about 3,500 feet of mod
ern hose that will stand high pressure.
The greater part of the hose now in use
has seen all the way from ten to fifteen
years' service, and the chief tells me that
If it were called In from the outlying
engine houses by a down town fire and sub
jected to high pressure It would explode.
"There will be no money expended for the
Capitol avenue market bouse this year, and
If an attempt Is made to divert a part of
the general fund to this purpose the work
will be enjoined. In condemning a part of
Capitol avenue for this purpose the council
has exceeded Its authoiit;., which leaves a
loophole 'tor the work to be tied up In liti
gation." Councilman Trostler will make another
attumpt to work his gas lamp resolution
through the council. He wants 100 street
lamps In addition to those now In use and Is
trying to demonstrate that there will be
enough money In the lighting fund to pay
for them. His resolution does not seem to
be popular and will no doubt meet with a
strenuous opposition.
