TUTj OMAHA DAILY TtEEi SUNDAY, JTJLT 13. 1902. 17 corroborate- the ittttmnt, whether the statement waa true or not? A. No, I did ,toU Q. What wii the amount he gavet A.- Ho said It netted $3,000. ; Q. Netted 19.000 T A-Tn, itr. . Q. And capitalized, what would that rep f!ientT What Investment would that rep resent at per cent? A. I guess you can figure that out. Q I am asking you? A. Well, per eent on $150,000 would tie $9,000. Q. One hundred and fifty thousand dol laraT A. Tea, air. Q So that that would Indicate that the building and ground la worth tar more than $96,000, doea It not? A. I thought they had no cause of complaint. Q. len t that a fact? Anawer my Ques tloa, pleaae. A. Well, I would consider It worth more than that; air. Q. Tou would consider It worth more than $95.000T A. At an Jnveitment on per cent; yea, tlr. Q. Six per cent l a fair return on an Investment now, la It not? A. Tea, air. Q. 8o that anything that will pay, or an Investment that pays 6 per cent and which howa a net return of $,000 la worth $150, OOOt A. Why, the way yeu put your prop osition I would hare to aay yea. I would not consider the property worth every cent In that abape because depreciation haa to be taken Into account in an Investment of that character, and something must be taken off. When I aaaraa property 1 am required to look for the depreciation on the orlrlnai cost of the property. Q As matter of fact, did you take Into account the earning capacity of this build ing at lir A. Well, somewhat; yea, air. Q Is it not a fact that you simply con sidered the coat of the lota and the actual coat of construction T A. Well. I Inquired of the proprietor what the building cost before I placed value on It, and I placed It $10,000 Msher than what he aatd It coat Q Is not that the manner In which you have assessed all the realty In this city that you have not considered the earning ca pacity T A. In many casea there waa no arnlng capacity. Q. But In all cases In which there waa an earning capacity, did you, or did you not, consider it? A. That waa one ele ment In fixing the value, the earning ca pacity. q Why did you not apply It in this par ticular caae? A. Well, Just aa one ele ment; yes, air. Q You did consider It? A. I knew something of the rentals; I knew aomethlng about the bank rooms. q. Will you please tell the court why there Is such a striking disparity between the assessed valuation' and that valuation upon which the property earns a dividend? A. I did not have full knowledge of the rental value of the property, but when I placed the property at more than It actually coat higher for the ground by $7,000, and higher for the building by $10,000, than It actually cost two or three yeara ago, I thought I bad assessed that property pretty fair. - q Is cost any criterion of actual value? X. Well, when people buy property f.-r less than my asaeesed value they always Insist that I fix the value at Us cost. q. The situation of a building haa a great" deal to do with lta value, hasnt It? A. Tea, air. Q The fact that a building cost a cer tain amount of money two or three years ago would be no test of lta value today, would U? A. That la why I placed It higher than coat. Q You only added $10,000 more than ac tual coat? A. Yea, air. Q Yet you knew that the building waa earning $9,000 net? A. No, I did. not know that. Q. Wasn't It your duty to learn that? A. Yes, probably you might say so, but my dutlea were so many I could not fulfil . there all. Q You did get a atatement of that kind, , yon aay, from the attqrney. Waa that be fore or after the appraisement? A After . the assessment before the Board of Equali sation this year. q. Did you try to procure information ot that kind before? A. I made some general Inquiries about rentals; yes, sir. Q. General Inquiries? A. On tha ground floor, but I did not know the cost of running the elevator and the cost of the steam heating plant and anything of that kind. , Q. Well, that was practically tha same method that you applied to the ascertain ment ot realty values generally, waan't It? ( A. Well, the method I have explained to ' you, that I took Into account several things; . . the market value of the property, tha selling value of the property, the cost of construction and rental value all ot those things enter Into the aasessment of prop arty. Q. Well, you did not consider tba rental Talus In tbla caae, did you? A. I mad aomo Inquiries aa I stated, aa to the rental - values of the first floor, but I did not know In that case anything about the coat ot heating and elevator services which went Into the expenses ot the building. Q. You ars acquainted with the Lincoln hotel here, are you not? A. Yes, sir. Q. What la Us assessed value for thla year? A. About $105,000; It coat $SS,000. Q. How many lots are there? A. Five lots, twcnty-Svs feet esch. Q. Twonty-flvt feet each? A. Yea, sir. Q. Those lots ars very valuable for their situation, ars they not?. A. No, not Terr. Q. Not very? A. No, sir. Q What do you mean by that? A. Well, thsy are in an undesirable part of tha lty. Q. They are In as anatslrable part of the city? A Yes, sir. Q. That would be your Judgment, would It? A. Yes, sir. Q. Do you know ot any property having been told there In recent yeara? A. I know when the Lincoln hotel was aold; that U about all. Q. When was that? A That la about three years ago, I think. Q. That waa under what conditions? A. Well, the life insurance company which had It wanted to dispose of It and the Mar ket bought It; I guess anybody could have bought It at private sale. Q. I presume likely that la true. Was It subject to mortgage at that time, or other Incumbrances? A. No, sir. Q. tt was free and clear, wsa It? A. Yes, sir. , Q And It sold for how much? A. I un derstood 185,000. Q. Well, do you know? A. Well, I have tha testimony of tha manager down there, tha manager of the hotel, and ho com plained to me of the value I placed upon It, Q The teatlmony. Do you mean by that that be appeared before you aa com missioner and under oath testified that that waa the price at which It waa aold? A. He did not testify under oath, but he appeared before tba Board of Equalisation and made a talk to them. Q. And you simply took his unsupported statement as to the truth of that fact, did you? A. Yes, sir; I took It that way, but did not listen to It Q. You do not know of your own per sonal knowledge what It aold for? A. I couldn't say that I do, but I made some Inquiries aa to what they were willing to aell the property for, and that Is my recol lection at that time I thought It might be a good purchase and-I waa trying to sell It. Q. Do you know how much the property cost originally to construct, yourself? A. Yes, sir; I know something about that. Q. How much? A. I think the total In vestment waa about $200,000. Q. $200,000? A. Yea, air. Q. Ian't It worth $200,000 today. A. No, air. Q. Why not? A. Why, because It la not situated In the best part of town for hotel purposes. Q. Do you know whether It Is being operated at a profit or at a loss? A. Well, only from general report. Q. Only from general report? A. Yea, Q. You did not maka any particular In vestigations about those elements, did you? A. Well, I don't think that I did at that time. Q. In other words, without making any particular Inquiry, you simply aubatltuted your own Judgment as to the valuea? A. Well, I guess I had to rely entirely upon my Judgment In aasesslng. Q. And without having your Judgment based upon any particular consideration? A. I would say that I knew what they had bought the property tor; I knew that they had expended soms considerable money In repairs, improving the property; I knew they were then doing a auccessful business and all of those ltema went to maka up my Judgment. Q. What about the Llndell hotel? A. The Llndell hotel la assessed I cannot give the exact figures on that but It la nearly $100,000; that la, not counting the new part. . Q. Not counting the new part? A. Yes, sir; that has since been added. Q. Do you believe you could buy that for $100,000 today? A. I couldn't aay, but I know- that Mr. Hoover Insists that I have assesed It- at more' than It actually cost him. '" ' Q. Don't you -know aa a mater of fact that that property Is well worth $350,000 today? ' A. Nor I do not. . Q Do you know what It la worth? A. Well, I will tell you, It la worth mora be lng managed, you -know, ' by Mr. Hoover than It would If you managed It, for In stance. Q. That is only tour eoncluslon. la It ot a faot that that property aa It atanda today la worth at least $250,000 to $300,000 and that you could not buy It for that? A, It might be worth that for Mr. Hoover, but when I tax the hotel property X cannot tax Mr. Hoover'a ability aa a manager and his good will. ' I have to tax the tangible property Just aa I find It; It It waa a cor poratlon, then maybe the good will might come In under It. Q. You would tax It to a corporation, but to Sn Individual you would not? A. I would aay that I tan tax the capital stock Q. yon are not authorised to aasesa the capital stock of a corporation, are yon? A. Yes, sir.' Q. Are you not simply required to take tha capital atock Into consideration In fix ing the value? A. Fixing the value ot what? Q. Fixing the value of the plant which la represented by the capital stock? A. Tou are talking about personal assessments now? Q. I am talking about capital atock. Capital atock la assessed, and of course If they have real aetata yeu have to deduct It The question I am asking you la. you gen. erally tax capital aa such In the hands of the owner, do you? A. I tax it against the corporation. Q. You almply consider the capital atock as a baala tor determining the value of the plant, don't you? . A. The value of the cor poration? Q. Yes, sir. A. Wall, I expect that la right q. You do net assess Its capital atock? A. I do aasees eorporatlone that way. Q You do? A. Yea. air. Q.

Bennett, being aworn, testi fied a a foil owe: Examined by Mr. Harrington Mr. Ben nett, you are employed here In the audi tor'a office? A. Yes, sir. Q. Have the returns been received showing the aggregate assessments this year In the atate? A. No, sir. Q About what percentage of them hare already been received? A. Received about two-thirds, perhaps. Q. And In addition to that, have you aacertalned from Inquiry the assessed valuation of Douglas county for this year? A. Well, I heard In a way, yes, sir. Mr. Prout Have you the returns from that county? A. No, air; I have not got It from Douglas. Mr. Harrington Have you made an esti mate from what returns and Information you now have aa to whether or not the aggregate assessment of the state outside of railroad property will bs Increaaed or decreased for 1902? Mr. Kelby I object to that unices he furnishes the elements on which he basis his Judgment and estimate. Mr. White I make the further objection that it is Incompetent, Irrelevant and im material, and not tending to establish any basis. Chief Justice Sullivan This objection should be overruled. A. Well, Judging from the returns al ready made, and taking Into consideration the fact that Mr. Rosewater clalma that Douglaa eounty will be raised $3,000,000, I conclude that the raise In the assessed valuation throughout the state should reach between $3,000,000 and $5,000,000. Q. Over last year? A. Over last year; yea, air. Mind you, that that takes Into consideration the raise in railroad prop erty aa well, and that helps to maka up the aggregate. Q. That la a raise of about $175,000 on the aggregate railroad property In the state? A. Yes. sir. (Excused.) Edward Roaewater, being first aworn, testified aa follows, examined by Mr. Har rington: Q You live in the city cr Omaha? A. I do. Q. For how long have rou lived there? A. I have lived there nearly thirty-nine years. Q. Are you somewhat familiar with the depota and terminal facilities ot the trans portation companies there? A. I am. Q. You may describe In a general way from observation the extent and character of the improvements and terminal factlltlea of the railway compalnes at that point, A. The terminals of the two principal sys tems In the city ot Omaha begin practically within perhaps 600 yards of the Missouri river bridge and extend for nearly three miles along the banks of the river and in the eastern part ot the city up. to the East Omaha bridge. Those terminals that are credited to the Burlington system begin somewhat south ot the bridge, perhaps 600 yards from the main track ot the Union Pacific and extend' through the city of Omaha and through the city of South Omaha; they extend to the atock yards and packing houses at South Omaha. I speak ot the sidetracks and terminal facilities ot the Burlington now. They Include of course the depot grounds at Omaha, the passenger atatlon on those grounds, the freight house and depot grounds up in the eastern part of the city and the trackage through quite a number ot streets and alleys connecting with warehouses and with warehouses In the wholesale part of the city. The term! nala ot the Union FaclOo are very much larger. They cover aomethlng like between 300 or 400 acres of ground within the city ot Omaha, extending to the Union Pacific ahopa In the north part and up to the con nection with the Missouri Pacific belt line; they extend up to Tenth street and the via duct that crosses the street on Tenth street. and Include also considerable trackage fa' cllltles connecting with the warehouses and store buildings and various manufacturing concerns within the elty, and they Include also, as I said, the depot grounds and the Union depot at Omaha, and the Union Pa- clflo freight house north of that, with all the trackage, sidetracks covering hundreds of lots and a vast area of city property originally which wss oonvsyed to the Union Paclfle railroad by ordinancea of the council, and la now practically owned by them through streets and alleys within the elty, and they extend, as I said originally, also to South Omaha and connecting with the stock yards and packing houses, and afford not only facilities for the Union Pa cific railroad, but alao for the various roads that center in Omaha that have no terminal facilities la the state of Nebraska and are not known as occupying any lands within the city, and use the facilities ot the Union Paclfle and pay tor them a fixed charge per annum. That Is about as fsr as I can state. Q. Now, have any of these railway com panies a brldgs at Omaha? A. Tha Union Paclfle bridge Is used Jointly by the six railways or five that cross from Iowa Into Nebraska, connecting at Omaha with the Unton Pacific railroad and extending from there with their freight traffic into South Omaha to a connection with the stock yards and packing houses. Q. Can you name, Mr. Rosewater, the different railway companies that use the Union Paclfle bridge for transportation ot persona and property? A. The compantea that are using the Union Pacific bridge are the Chicago Northwestern railroad, the Chicago, Reck Island Paclflo railroad, the Chicago, Milwaukee ft St Paul railroad.' the Burlington railroad In part the Bur lington uses the tracks across the bridge for some of Its traffic, but not for all. Then, incidentally the Sioux City at Pacific railroad trains go ever the Union Paclfle bridge, and, of course, the Union Paclflo railroad traffic for such connsctlons as thsy maks east ot the river, particularly tor mall traffic Q. Mr. Roaewater, did yon appear before the State Board of Equalisation and call their attention to the value per mile of the Union Pacific railroad? A. I appeared, be fore the etate board, I think on May 14th, and called attention to the Inadequate valu ation of ail railroads and incidentally to tha Union Pacific la prior yeara and asked the board to take into conalderatloa tha value of the road as it la now organised and alao to include within that valuation the franchlae of that road and the franchise of all other roads. Q Did you call their attention to the value per mile of the Union Pacific? A. I think in a general way I referred to the tact that it was eapttallsed at ever $100,000 per mile. Q. How long did you spend giving the board such information aa you had beea able to gather aa.to the valuations of thess roads? A. I think t wss about thirty to forty minutes. Q. And what phase of the property out side ot what you have already testified ta did you discuss before the board? A. I called attention to the marked Increase in the valuea of railroads la their ability te earn a larger Income thaa heretofore, and the Increaaed value of their terminal fa cHltles at Omaha under the reorganisation. Q. Owing to the increased traffic? A. Owing to the Increaaed traffic and alao aa bow organised; the Union Paclfle was for merly In the hands of a receiver; bow It la entirely a new organisation. (Te Be Continued.) MAY START WAR IN KATES Wabash Makes Big Out in CWoapo-Hew York far. EIGHTEEN DOLLARS FOR ROUND TRIP Alee Makes Great Redeetlea la Row a Trip Fare Bitwets Omaha sal Hew York Kaasas Cara Crop. New passenger rates and train achedules were announced by the local office of the Wabash yesterday under orders from tbs general offices In St Louis which create more than ordinary lntereat, es pecially among the lines east of Chicago. A sharp rate war becomea Imminent by thta action of the Wabash, for which no reason la given other than the road desired to take the Initiative In thts direction. The round-trip rate of $1$ from 'Chicago to New York is the one which is expected to stir competing Unci and precipitate a traffic conflict. The fare la to be In use on July 17 and $1 and August 7 and 14, with a twelve-day limit for the return. These are the same days selected by ether trunk lines for their excursions to Atlantic City. This announcement Is made suddenly and will greatly surprise eastern competitors of the Wsbash. In connection with the Chicago-New York rate a fare of $36.95 from Omaha to New York and return, good on the same days as the former rate. Is announced by the Omaha office. This Is likewise an ex clusive rata. The changes In Its train service which the Wabash announces are these: St. Louis Express, leaving Omaha at 6:55 p. m., will hereafter arrive at St. Louis at T a. m., making a gain In time of forty minutes. The same train will leave Counoll Bluffs at 9:15, Instesd of 10 a. m,, as heretofore. A new train has been put on from 'Maryvllle, Mo., to Brunswick, Mo., leaving the former place at 7:30 a. m. and reaching Bmswlck at 11:66 a. m., and returning, leaving Brunswick at 6:20 p. m., arriving at Mary vllle at 11:65 p. m. Cora Booms la Kaasas. A number of Missouri Pacific men were around the local office yeaterday. E. M. Oannon, comerclal agent at Atchison, Is In the "city on official business. Mr: Gannon, who Is a very close observer ot the ofops snd rated among his railroad friends as one of the best Judges ot good corn and wheat. has this to say ot tha condition of thoss cereals In the Prairie state: "We will have the largeat corn crop In many yeara. Corn la simply leaping ana bounding down In old Kansss. The pro longed wet aeason did not Injure or re tard Its growth, but It helped te develop It, and now, with such wee'her aa thla, a per fect crop may be looked for. I really don't believe It will need any more rain to In sure an abundant yield. "As to whest, I am sorry I can't say as much, but It is a fact that wheat haa been hurt by the constant rains. Harvest Is backward and much that haa been eut is moulding or sprouting, and, of course, that Is a loss In either case. But at any rats Kansas msy have a very fair wheat crop," New Port os Galf Coast. The Rock Island road Is considering the advisability of establishing a new port on the gulf coast. In view of this fact. It has been said that tha projected line which the Rock Island will build out of Fort Worth will not terminate at Galveston, as waa originally expected. There la said to be no doubt about the construction of a gulf line, and the authority of Vice President snd General Manager Hovey of the Chicago, Rock Island ft Texaa that contracts for the projection will soon be let Is offered to substantiate thla statement. The report that the Rock Island had won Its fight for the possession of the Wiggins Ferry company has been practically con firmed. The company Is said to have ex pended $4,000,000 In winning tbla fight, bringing the total cost for control of this property up to $9,000,000. ' MERCER C0MES NEXT WEEK Manager Blackbara Says tha Ceadt date Will Net Arrive Till ' . Tharaday. Congressman David H. Mereer was ex pected In Omaha yeaterday, but Manager Blackburn now aays that Mr. Mercar will not arrive till July 17. Mr. Blackburn tells ot a letter that he received this morning from Washington conveying this news and adds that the congressman is still In tha capital. CONNIBIALITIES. The June bride was very numerous 'In Chicago. There were more marriage li censes issued there last month than in any other month In the history of the city. A Colorado girl has declined to marry a man because he Is wealthy. Here is vindi cation for Senator Dolliver, who says ths poor are the only ones who have a chance. Miss da Mattos, a cousin of Robert Louis Stevenson, to whom the author dedicated his "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." aa well as a number of poems, has Just been married In England to a Mr. Dalton. According to Kaiser Wllhelm's recent order any woman who aspires to become the wife of an officer in his array must first satisfy the superiors ot the officer who wants to marry her with proof ot her in come. Among the weddings last week was the marriage of Robert W. Green of Boston to Mlas Sarah 3. Green of Kansas City, Mo. We frequently hear of the "blushing bride," but in this case the bride did not even change color. If the average man who la unlucky in love spent half as much energy In hunting up some other desirable girl as he does in chasing ths girl who is unkind to him he would soon be a good deal happier. G. R. Rusllng ef Danville, 111., who haa lived in a state of alngle-blessedness for sixty-nine years, became a benedict re cently and was united In marriage to Mrs. Frances M. Payne. Mrs. Payne ta M years of age and this Is her fourth matrimonial venture, Rusllng is a wealthy retired farmer. Ben F. McAtee, a prominent farmer liv ing near Glenarm, 111., disposed of a $10,000 oamage suit againei mm wnen ne came to Burlngtleld and procured a license to marry Nellie M. Clayton of the same neighbor hood. Several months ago the woman filed a ault against McAtee for breach of prom ise. She claimed he prenosed marriage to her on Christmas day, li7, but had after ward declined to marry her. McAtee Is over 60 years tld and Is a rrandfather. His first wife procured a divorce several years ago. Miss ciayton is si yeara oia. Marriages must be rsre events In Btur nan. Ma.. If one may Judas from the elo quence with which a recent one Inspired the local scribe: "The wedding," says the village paper, "aa though a thunderbolt had descended from a cloudless sky. wss a great surprise to our people and set the tewn to echoing ana re-ecnoing tne giaa tidings." The courtship, too, was none of your modern commonplace wooinga. Not' "Little Cupid, with a burnished arrow, at once commenced his matrimonial roaneuv. era. Homer, young, strona and ambitious made a noble confession of love to the rosy-cheeked maiden of his choice and was accepted. ComDlet frankness characterises a for tur.e hunter a letter which recently d- paured In a Parts paper. It announces that a gentleman bearing a very old and riia tlnguished title a prince who la in need of funds, la prepared to marry his aon to any lady who la willing to pay 46.000 for the Srivllege of bartiig tha title of prlncese urtng ber lifetime.

Men must do their duty, no matter what that duty may be, and a penalty la attached to every violation aa certain as day and night. In civil law you may evade punishment for a while, but with the laws of nature there can bs no eva sion.
