The Board of Review yesterday took up the Coliseum rase and heard argument from John O. Willis as to why the assess ment bf that property should be Increased snd from Graham and Ure, owners of the building, as to why it should not be In creased, but rather decreased. Mr. Willis declared the Coliseum to be a detriment to all of the surrounding property and argued that the valuation of $13,400 was very low. Messrs. Graham and t're expressed the be lief that the assessment upon Mr. Willis' property was low even In comparison with that upoa the Coliseum. They showed the board that they only received $1,600 a year for their building and that they were com pelled to pay a very high rate for Insur ance to the amount of X.000. The board decided to allow the valuation of the Coliseum to remsin as It was. The agent of W. A. Paxton came before the board and asked to have th assess ments on the Ware block and the Granite block reduced. He wanted the Granit block listed at $10,000 and the Ware block at $75,000. claiming th Income Justified no higher figures. The board reserved de cision. In the hearing of one complaint yesterday morning It waa discovered that a house of the value of $2,500 on a lot owned by Mary D.

MORE PROTECTION FOR CREDIT0RSTHE AIM Matter Debated) at Meeting of Credit Men' Association, Where Step Are Taken to Secure the Bill's Passage. Bankers, lawyers, merchants and legisla tors were among those present at the meet ing and banquet of the Retail Credit Men s association at the Millard hotel Isst night to discuss the "bulk law." This law relates to the sale or stocks of goods In bulk by retail merchants, and It Is proposed to make It the duty of each merchant before ho dis poses of his stock in this manner to notify each of his creditors at least five days be fore the ssle. so thst they may know the disposition that has been made of the debt or's assets. Every man present who expressed himself was heartily In favor of the enactment of such a law by the next legislature, and at the conclusion of the speecbmaklng the chairman was Instructed to appoint a com mittee of ten to draft a suitable bill, to be presented at a meeting of the assoclstton to be held on the third Thursday In December for tha approval of the association. About 100 were present Including many from Lincoln, Council Bluffs and other points In the state. The entire legislative delegation from Douglas county was there and each pledged himself to work for the enactment of the proponed measure. Other speakers were Euclid Martin, F. E. Pearcc, W. S. Wright. Charles Kountze, Arthur E. Smith, H. F. Cady, C. N. Robinson, E. S. Rohr, Omaha; J Frank Barr and E. L. Hall, Lincoln Mr. Barr said that throughout the state there Is a demand for the passage of such a law, and Its only opponent are the "cut throat" merchants. The law, he said will be protection for the merchant, the jobber, the buyer and for every one Interested. It will prevent a man buying a stock that has not been paid for at 23 rents or 50 cents on the dollar, thus being able to cut price. Members of the association were In structed to request all traveling men out of Omaha to talk up the law over the state and to create an interest for It. C. N. Rob InBon was chairman of the meeting and E. S. Rohr secretary. MANY PASS OVER THE SANDS Record Breaking Initiation Into Tas tier Temple, Nobles of the Myatle Shrine.

Letter csrrlers of the Orr.sha division of the Internstlonal association are consider ing the question of tsklng sdvsntage of the term of the voluntary old age pensions provided at the last meeting of the Inter national organization. According to the plan adopted at that convention there Is to be created a fund from which old age pensions will be paid after the member has attained the age of 5 years. The fund is to be created by th payment of a fixed sum each month by those entering the pension society, the amount of monthly payment depending upon the age of the member at the time he enters. The plan Is not to be effective until January 1, but previous to that time the prospective members are discussing the provision of the plsn. It Is not looked upon as a complete so lution to the old ago pension for letter csrrlers, and some of the carriers are op posed to the messure as at present framed, while they are almost a unit in favoring a pension fund to be created by the carriers voluntarily under the management of tho government, at no cost to the departmeut. The matter will come up for formal dis cussion at the December meeting of tha local branch, at which time officers will be elected for tha year. MAYOR SAVES THE FIRE FUND Vetoes Miscellaneous Bill, ao that Salaries of Men May Bo Paid. Mayor Moores received yesterday the ap propriation ordinance passed by the city council at Its lsst meeting.

This same policy has previously been followed by the mayor ln regard to tho allowance of expense bills to be paid from the fire fund, on the ground that what money there Is left ln the fund should be uasd In the payment of the salaries of the firemen. The bills In the appropriation ordinance payable out of the police fund the mayor will allow, since he contends that thers is no shortage In that fund and there would be none even If tbe seventeen men recently dropped from the pay roll had been re tained.
