A number of the eases heard In the course
f the morning were continued to allow

Mr. Carpenter of tha Carpenter Paper

other business Institution's were being as
sessed at full value. M. Levy of the Ns

cussed the affairs of his company with the

"My parent conaidered coffee simply a

Klertrle l.laM t'nmpaay'a Total.
Toward the close of yesterday after
noon, F. A. Nash appeared before the board
to ahow cause why the assessment of tba
New Omaha Thomson-Houston Electrlo
company sHould not stsnd aa raised by the
tax. commissioner, from. $442,000, aa re
turned by the cpmpany,' to 1500.000. Mr.
Nash said that apparently Ihe board had
a wrong Impression of the value of the
company's property, and a Tar as be could
see this must be due- to a-false estimate of
the new subway as an addition to the
plant. He pointed out to the board the
fact that thla new underground system,
white not adding to the earning power of
the plant In any respeutj did oonvert Into
mere Junk a great quantity ef wires and
poles and transformers and other mate
rial that formerly had had a 'Utilitarian
value. This condition, ha said, would -naturally
detract from tha Inventory valua
tion, of the property, of the company. Mr.
Nash alao elated that not long ago experts
from the east, who casoe (or the purpose
of placing a purchase value upon the prop
erty of the company, bad ' appraised the
entire Omaha equipment at $416,000. Mr.
Nash was requested In case be decided to
open the question to furnish figures ss to
the earnings and expensea of the Omaha
plant, and also the entire property sepa
rately, as he said be was ready to do. It
was found In the discussion between Mr.
Nash and the board that $300,000, of the
company's bonds had been, omitted In
making the return, and the board held
that these should be Included, while Mr.
Nash argued that - they should not. While
Mr. Nash suggested a compromise on $476.
000, this proposition was rejected and he
was advised first to Inquire Into the ques
tion of law.
Homo Changes Made,
In the course of the Afternoon the assess
ment of the Chicago Lumber company was
Increased from $68,000 to $86,245 and that
of the Sol Bergman Jewelry company re
duced from $10,000 .to $6,000; and numer
ous minor changes made.
Among the firms to appear before the
board was J. I Brandels st Sons, but no
disposition waa made of that case. Mr.
Emll Brandels spent some time In discus
sion with the board aa to the value of bis
firm's building and the lease ot the groutd
upon which It stands and also the value
ot the atock, but the board reserved Its
decision.

LONDON DOCK BILL LOST
Eon? Decide! by Small Majority to fiejeot
Contentions Measure.
PACKING HOUSES tfFECT DEATH bpW
With Lumber Interests Withdraw
Sapport and Infloenre Plurality of
Nine to Vote Aftalaat Math
Debated Proposition. '
WASHINGTON. Dec. 9 After debating
the London dock charges .bill for almost
four hours the bouse today threw It out by
rejecting the enacting clause. Tbe debate
was spirited On both aides and alt day
members were flooded with telegrams re
specting the bill.
The withdrawal of the support of the
lumber and meat packing Interests, which
originally Joined with the millers In press
ing the measure, brought about its defeat.
The final vote was 138 td 129 In favor
of the motion to strike out the enacting
clause. Speeches were made In favor of
the bill by Mr. Tswney (Minn.) and Mr.
Richardson (Ala.), and against It by
Messrs. Adameon (Oa), Wagner, Adams
and Dalsell ' (Pa.), Burleson and Burgess
(Tex.) and Mann (111.).
Will Adjourn for Christmas.
Some minor , business waa transacted at
the opening of the session. The senate bill
to regulate the duties and fix the compen
sation ot customs inspectors at the port ot
New York was passed. Also a. bill to pro
Vide additional districts In the Indian Ter
ritory where legal Instruments, can be
filed.
Mr. , Payne (N. T.), chairman of the
committee on ways and means, reported
back from that committee tbe resolution
for distribution ot the president's message
and gave notice that he would call It up to
morrow. He also called up the resolution
ordering for a holiday adjournment from
December 20 to January 6, which was
adopted wltbout division.
Mr. Sherman (N. T.) reported tbe
Indian appropriation bill. Mr. Tawney
(Minn.) then demanded ' the regular
order, the London landing charge bill, of
which he had charge. He gave notice
that be would move to substitute the sen
ate bill for the pending house bill, the two
being practically identical.
Mr. Tawney then began his argument In
support ot the bill. He read a petition
from the big packing houses favoring the
bill and Mr. Mann (111.) said be had tele
grams from all those bouses withdrawing
their support.
Want Divers Things.
'The gentlemen may have such tele
grams," replied Mr. Tawney, "just as hs
may bold telegrams from tbe export lum
ber association, which last week withdrew
its support. I have In my possession tele
grama from the officers of that association
first withdrawing, then denying their with
drawal and later again withdrawing and
later still a confidential letter explaining
their motives for their action. I propose
to disclose those motives , before I ' con
clude." Proceeding, Mr.- Tawney explained tbe
purpose of the bill, which, be said, ap
plied only to the port of London and was
simply designed to relieve the American
shipper of tha charge made by the trans
porting companies for delivering goods
over tba: side of tbe vessel. This charge,
he said, waa Included In the contract ot
jahlpfoenii jThe bill .would prevent such a
'contract""'
Mr. AdansOib-eCa.k'opased, first on tbe
ground that .tt,.soughf,ta. . prevent the lib
erty of contract," and second, because, M
said,,. If,. waa suppnpted principally by a
single interest, the millers.
Mr. .."Warner (Pa.) '.ajso, opposed. He
contended that It be .interests of American
shippers aa a whole had been served by
the "London, clause."' Tbe purpose and ef
fect ot that clause, bo maintained, had
been to give the' American shippers priv
ileges they could not. otherwise have ob
tained. Mr. Tawney finally moved to substitute
tbe senate amendment for tba house; bUT.
Thereupon Mr." Sherman'' (N. ' T.) moved
to strike out the enacting clauae and the
Issue was precipitated at once. Mr.
Tfcwney demanded the ayes and noes. The
vote resulted, 138 ayes to 129 noes. This
action struck out tbe enacting clause and
killed the bill. At 4:20 the house ad
journed. ;

WASHINGTON, )ec. 9. The aenate do
voted most' of today to the Immigration bill
and adopted a number . of amendments
Considerable diacussion ensued on an
amendment offered by Mr. Burton (Kan.)
to admit Chineae laborers to Hawaii. It
met with much opposition and was finally
laid on the table. The clauae. prohibiting
the sale of liquor in tbe capitol caused
some criticism, but passed. During the
day the militia bill' was discussed.' It will
be taken up again on Thursday.
Mr. Kean (N. J.) gave notice that on
December 17 he would ask the senate to
consider resolutions upon the life and
character of the late Senator William J
Sewell.
- The militia bill was called first and
an amendment offered by Mr. Cockrell
(Mo.) was adopted to prevent future con
troversies . between the etatea and tbe
United States as to when a man, may be
cofne United States soldier.
Mr. Lodge (Mass.) then called up the
Immigration bill and explained that yes
tsrday'a amendment changing the designs
tlon of Incomers from "passengers" to
"alien Immlgranta" rendered It necessary
to strike out the exemption applying to
citlsena of . tbe Dominion of Canada, tbe
republics' ot Cuba and Mexico, or a bon
fide resident ot the Dominion or republics,
n& an amendment to that effect was
agreed to.'
An amendment by Mr. McCumber (N. D.)
was adopted Including professional' beggars
as among those excluded from admission
to tba United States.
At the Instance ot Mr. Psnrose (Pa.) It
Was agreed to substitute for ths section
extending to two years the time, for ex
porting aliens who become a publio charge.
The section aa amended specifies lunacy,
Idiocy and epilepsy and says aliens af
flicted with these troubles shall pe pre
sumed to bavo been ao affected prior to
landing abd aball he deported at the ex
pense 'of ths transportation companies
bringing them In.
Mr. Burton (Kan.) said the Porto Rlcans
tsken to Hawaii had failed, but the . Por
tuguese did very well. White men could
not work In tbe Hawaiian climate. He
thou-ht th Chinese, should be allowed In
Hawaii for-agricultural purposes only.
Mr. Bailey (Tex.) objected to ths, propo.
sitloo to invite Chinese to Hawaii and then
deport them when they become skilled
laborera.
Mr. Burton pleaded for the consideration
pf the amendment by tbe committee on
immigration; but Mr. Penrose declined, as
ba said the amendment was premature and
pot germrne. He i.-.cved that tbe amend
ment ta latd oa ths tsble.
Ths tuoiicn waa adopted.
' .On motion of Mr. -MvCemaa Md.) the
section relating to the exclusion of anarch
ists waa Amended, so as to make It sped-
Orally apply to anarrblat who advocate
the destruction of the-' government of the
I'nlted States 'or of all government by
violence. , ,
Tbe senate the went Into executive ses
sion, and later adjourned.
Messages from tbe president, transmit

other In surprise, aa she aald It took tbe
three ot them thirteen years to make up
the debt, the 'mother' earnings from
neighbors being tbe principal contribution
toward the maintenance of the family. Th
debt was cleared last August. :
This concluded the case against O. B.

sion waa taken by ten witnesses who bad
been employed by the Delaware A Hudaoa
company, the Tempt Coal and Iron com
pany and the Erie Coal company, who tried
to ahow that a black Hat existed.

Gentlemen: It Is with great pleasure

which have left me with a bad cough and
weak heart. I am 67 years old. It has
toned up my system and stopped the
hemorrhages and I cough but very little.
I only regret that I did not know of your
whiskey before..! cannot express what
It baa done for me. I. beg to remain. Yours
respectfully, MRS. H. C. ALLINGTON.

NEW YORK, Dec. I. With the thermom-.
eter marking 8 above1 sero, the coldest
weather ot the winter thus far prevailed
today. On Staten- Island (he body of John
Stallenwarf, a blackamith, was found In
tbe roadway. He bad apparently been
frozen to death.
There was much sufforing, especially
among the poor, because of the scarcity
and high price of coal.
At tbe meeting ot tbe board ot aldermen
a resolution was unanimously adopted ask
ing tbe Board of Estimates and Apportion
ment to authorize an Issue ot reserve bond
to the amount of $100,000 to purchase an
thracite to be distributed free to the poor
during the winter. ' ' '
Perhaps never In the history of the re
tall coal trade In this city baVe deslers
had to face such a situation as confronted
them today. In very " office 1 there Were
numbers of anxious buyer and at the
same time eager Inquiries for coal were
conatantly Coming by telephone. To all
but a few the dealera were forced to turn
a deaf ear.
"We can't promise you more than one
ton and we may not be able to deliver that
for a day or two,' waa tbe stereotyped
reply to all demands for fuel. '
Tbe situation was admitted to be ex
tremely bad and, according to on dealer,
there appear to be no way of relieving it.
A tour , of the East side 'today revealed
the fact that there Is much , suffering
among the poor. Tbe operators , bav
ceased to send coal to be sold by tbe pall
and th tenement dwellers find It difficult
to get fuel.
The Salvation army also reports wide
spread distress occasioned by ' the coal
famine.
