Green of Audubon and O. D. Wheeler of Council Bluffs were accorded rsnomlnatlons by the republican convention of tha Fif teenth Judicial district of Iowa yesterday morning. The three Judges, whose terms expire January 1, 1903, had no opposition and were nominated by the secretary being Instructed to cast the full vote of the con vention for them. The convention was called together at 11:30 a. m. by D. O. Stuart of Harlan, chair man of the republican Judicial committee, who named Edward W. Mills of Montgom ery county as temporary chairman and A. P. Clark of Page county temporary secre tary. Chairmen Mills said it was too warm to make a speech, especially as the time was drawing close for dinner. The nam ing of the usual committees wss dispensed with, snd on motion It was decided that the delegates ' present be entitled to cast the full vote to which their counties, were en tllled The temporary organliatlpn waa made permanent. ' , On motion of A. E. Cook of Malvern the, secretary was Instructed to cast the full vote of the convention for Judges Thornell, Green and Wheeler and committees were appointed to bring th nominees before th convention. - ' While the committees were absent on this errand .Congressman Walter' I. Smith was called upon for' a speech. ' He, said he felt like the chairman that the convention did not want to listen to any extended remarks and therefore would not. make, s, speech. He praised the state legislature for Increasing the salaries of the Judges of the district to what he considered an adequate and rea sonable compensation. It being the first tlms in the history of Iowa that Judges of the district court hsd been accorded a com pensation commensurate with their respon sibilities and duties. He said that during the ten years he had been .on tha district bench he had refrained from discussing the question-, but now that hs was offlt he wss glad to be able to do so. His statement that he bad always refrained from discuss ing the salary question while on the bench was due to the fact that he might Be told that If ha did not like the pay he could re sign, as there were many eminent lawyers ready to accept th office, caused consider able amusement. Ro)aUoas of Convention. At the ''Close - of Congressman' Smith's remark, and while the convention wa waiting for the nominees. Delegate Mitchell of Sidney Introduced the following resolu tions, which were adopted: Whereas, The twenty-ninth general as sembly of the state of Iowa increased the salary Of the district Judges to $3,600, be ginning January 1, 190S, and Whereas, The term of office of all of th Judges of the district court of Iowa will ex- riire januaxy v wnu cvsiuu. out Judges, whose terms of office will not expire until January 1, 1906; and Whereas, ; Under the constitution of t he state -of lows the salary of officers cannot be Increased or diminished during their term of office, it would present a seeming injustice to the four Judges whose term of Office does not expire until January 1, 1(06, to receive the salary as now exists, to-wit., the sum of 32,600 and no more; . ' Resolved, That it la the sense of this convention that it would look with favor upon any legal and proper method whereby ilnn of tha four Judaea a fore said would be Increased to a salary of $3,600, beginning January 1, isos; ana Resolved, That the convention would In dorse any act of said Judges that is In ac cordance with the law of the state of Iowa In obtaining such end. Hesoivea, mat me juaiciai commiun v the Fifteenth Judicial district be and is hereby empowered to fill any vacancies oc curring by resignation of the nomlneea or of the Judges now holding office or any of them in the Fifteenth judicial district of the state of Iowa, and that said committee I hereby empowered with full authority to fill any vacancy caused by resignation as aforesaid, and place the name of the per son selected by said committee upon the republican ticket for the Fifteenth Judicial district of Iowa, to be voted for at the next general election ttolden In and for the Stat of low, '' .. Judge Macy "of this district 1 on of th four Judges whose terms do not expire until January 1. 1905. and Mr. Mitchell said that while offering "the resolution, he had not spoken' to or 'consulted with Judge Macy. He offered, however, as suggestion that in th event of Judge Macy, which action he stated would be approved, he wa ur, th committee acting under th resolu tion could place hi nam on th ticket nd he would undoubtedly be r-lct4. By this method, he suggested. Judge Macy, a welt as th other Judges In th state, could receive th same compensation as the others. Several lawyer In discussing th reso lution and Delegate Mitchell's suggestion gave it as their opinion that th statute In the cgse applies to th Judicial term and not to th incumbent. Th nominee were then introduced to the ooaventlon and each In thanking It for th renomlnatton mad a few remarks, which were enthusiastically applauded.' Judge Green took the occasion to sug gest that the law ought to be changed In respect to th right of th Judge to In struct a Jury. As It is, he said, a Judge is not permitted to comment on the evident and thl he think la wrong. He believes that a Judge should be allowed to give to th Jury, the benefit of his knowledge and should be more than umpire. With the naming of the member of th Judicial committee from th several coun ties th convsntioa was brought to a close, it having lasted less than an hour. These were named as member of th Judicial eommltte: Audubon. O. W. Cos mos; Cass, B. W. Wood; Fremont, R, C. Campbell; Harrison, H. H. Rodefer; Mills, Edward Mills; Pottawattamie. D. K.

Miss Englender told of the struggls of her self and sister to wrest the weapon from Captala Denny, bar Story being substan tially the same as that previously published. Th recital of th story of th tragedy proved too much for her and she fainted at lis close and had to be taken home In a carriage. John Corliss testified to being awakened by the report of th shot and finding Mrs. Denny and her sister bending over the body of Captain Denny, a short dlatanoe from their house. H picked up the revolver, which was lying a few feet from Denny, and hastened to telephone th police and summon a doctor.

SHOW ASSESSMENT AT HALF REAL VALUE Object la to Demonstrate that Rail road Property Shonld Be Low ered or nt Least Remain t Present Flgnres. (From a Staff Correspondent) DE3 MOINES, July 15. (Special.) The executive council commenced listening to argument In regard to the railroad as sessments this morning. Repressntat'ves of th various railroads wer present. In cluding Baldwin of the Burlington, Knight and Tarbut of the Illinois Central, Cran don and Steven for th Northwestern, Carr and Dudley for the Milwaukee, See vers for the Iowa Central, Woodruff for the Great Western, Carroll Wright for the Rock Island and Bturgls for the Burling ton, The hearings will taks several days, and It la probable that all th railroad eompanlc will be heard first. Several others will also speak. A representative of the buslnesa Interests of the) state, and particularly the shipping Interests, will be heard, and also persons representing coun ties. The Board of Supervisor of Clin ton county ha v sent Mr. Miller, an attor ney, hers and tha county auditor of Ham ilton county haa .written for a data for him self and members of the board. Judge Stevens of Boon opened th dis cussion, speaking tor the Northwestern, He laid the basis for his argument by pre senting reports from many of the counties along the line of the Northwestern, being facts gathered by county auditor from the records, which showed the average actual selling price of the land which have been sold the past six . months In these counties to be about $62 an acre. He referred to the enormous Increase In value of farm lands. He believed the increase on lands In Iowa had been from $7 to $10 an acre since last September, and estimated the actual selling price of the land In these counties to be not less than $70 aa acre. Yet the value aa fixed by assessors Is only $44 an acre. Similar statistics were given In regard to livestock and other property. As for actual value, not selling value, he contended that It would be nearer $100 an acre.. In thirty, years the actual selling price of lands, had risen 400 per cent, but the assessed valtie had gone up but (0 per cent. --.? Judge Carr of Des Moines, speaking for continue from day to day. The effort of the Milwaukee company, presented a series of affidavits along the asm Una. . Th hearing was not concluded, but will the attorneys for ths railroad companies Is to prove that land assessments and the val uation 'of all other property In the state Is very low as compared with actual value, and therefore there can be no valid excuse for Increasing the railroad asssssmant. Fereonal Property Assessment. ".. The ' returns pSpm' all' Ihe counties of town on personal 'property- assessments' for this year, except th county of, Linn, be,4 been received by. Auditor Merrlam and the results are being tabulated;' ', The fact 'that on county I missing' makes the figure unsatisfactory. but enough can be deter mined to show hat the Increase will make a big dlffeience In the taxea of the state. For Instance? "the actual value of new buildings Is $18,643,810, and taking th tax able value. , or one-fourth, it make th assessable value of real estate. Including new buildings," $410,177,035.' The net gain In actual value of moneys and credit over last year was $14,0,37 and the gain In' value of merchandise wa $2,281,498. These, with other items, makes the total gain In all counties, excluding . Linn, $20,181,(12, not Including live stock. With th personal property gain and the gain In building th state has not less than $40,000,000 more on which to raise taxes, or an addition of $10, 000.000 to the taxable value of the state property. The figures of live stock will decrease this materially, for the assess ment of live stock this year has been made on a basis that will bring about a decrease of from $7,000,000 to $10,000,000 actual value. Barred from the Malls.
