LIKELY TO DELAY THE TAX LEVY SOME

While there have been no new develop
fnenfs of a manifest rhar'arter In tho rail
road assessment, rases since the adjourn
ment of the Board of Equalization It I
generally understood that the controversy
as to the city's right to assess railroad
property Independently will be taken to tho
courts for as speedy adjudication as pos
sible' An attorney for one of the railroads prin
cipally affected has said that plans have
been perfected to Institute proceedings In
court at an early day to contest the assess
ment The prest-nt plan Is to apply for an
Injunction to restrain the mayor and city
council from Imposing a levy upon the rail
road property as It Is assessed, and the case
Kill be brought In the state rather than the
federal courts.
Advantaar In Tnklnar Initiative.
By taking the initiative the railroads se
cure the choice of the tribunal tWore which
the application shall be made and will be
bio to go before that Judge In the district
court which they think mo3t favorable to
their contention. It Is said that they can
fctfng Into Injunction proceedings 1he entlr
Issue turning on the constitutionality of tho
exemption clause of tho charter, which has
been Ignored on the ground that It Is In
conflict with the constitutional provision
arltb reference to uniformity of taxation
(Within the taxing district.
Whichever way the lower court may de
cide the case will be appealed to the
supreme court and It will doubtless be
advanced In the same manner as the
franchise tax cases last year.
May Hold t'p Lev-jr Ordinance.
The most serious feature of the In
junction method of tenting the assessment
would be that It would hold up the levy
ordinance again until a final decision Is
reached and thus prevent the city from
drawing upon its tax resources tor 1303.
last year the levy was held up four
months and all of the city officers and
employes kept out of their salaries for
that length of time. They were uot even
able to get warrants to discount, but had
to make assignments of their salaries to
get money advanced to them. Whether
they will have to go through this 'priva
tion again will depend upon the prompt
ness with which the courts act If the levy
Is enjoined.
THREE IN BUTTER TlJSlNESS

Tradlaa- Pound Prints for
Lonesome Drinks.
' Three walking dairies were arrested Sat
urday evening when Charles W. Lewis, Billy
Martin and Henry Johnson, a colored pal,
were arrested while peddling butter on Six
teenth street. When taken into custody
Lewis bad his pockets tilled with one-pound
prints of butter, while Martin was simi
larly laden. The officers traced the men by
their sales and found that the butter, while
la their possession bad depreciated rapidly
in market value, and when put up at Mc

Sixteenth street, the price of butter sud

FINDS BROTHER MURDERED
Amoa Glaaer of Omaha Reads of the
Killing- of His' Mlsslas
Relative.
Amos Glazsr, a gardener, who resides on
Fort street, near tha boulevard, baa lo
cated his long lost brother, ' Qus Olazer,
through the medium of a news Item In an
Omaha paper. The article stated that
Ous Olazer, a third cook in tbe Washington
hotel, Kansas City, had been shot and killed
by C. Posen, a dishwasher in the same
hotel. Glaxer died while enroute to the
hospital.
Thinking that perhaps It was his rela
tive, from whom not a word had been
heard in some years, Amos Olazer sought
the services of Chief of Police Donahue,
who sent tbe news Item and a letter to
Chief Haynes of the Kansas City depart
ment with a request that an investiga
tion be made to determine the identity of
tho dead man. Yesterday a reply was
received which stated that the murdered
man was s brother of Amos Olater of this
city.
Olazer said yesterday that his brother
was formerly employed in the Hensbaw and
Bchlltz cafes prior to his departure for
the south, and that since he left not a
word had been received from htm as to bis
whereabouts. Glazer will be unable to go
to Kansas City to attend the funeral of his
dead brother.

Harte showed blm a copy of the contract,
with the explanation that It had Just been
received from Kelly ft Kelly in response to
a request sent after Mr. DeBord called last
Friday.
Monday afternoon the attorney had a
copy of the copy made, and said: "Until
I can show this to Mr. Hoobler and talk
over the matter with him I cannot aay what
action he will take. I will say, however,
that a copy of the contract is a very un
satisfactory thing to be shown. The con
tract itself belongs here in the county
clerk's office, and I cannot understand how
the commissioners could have let so lm
portant a document get away. If Kelly ft
Kelly really have it the commissioners
should demand Its return at once and let
the brokers hold the 'copy.' "

MORE SHOPMEN ON A STRIKE
Union Pacific Looomstivs Wood vTorksrs and
Pipemen Go Out in a Bsdy,
DUE TO BURTS HECE WORK SYSTEM
Order Patting" Sew Method la Force
Is Posted la Shops aad WaJkoat
of Men Affected Pol
loves at Oace.
The locomotive wood workers and pipe
men at the Union Pacific shops went on
strike yesterday. The efforts of President
Burt to force the piecework system on the
men still employed at the shops brought
about this latest accession to the ranks
of the strikers.
When the wood workers appeared for
work' yesterday they found an order
from tbe foreman to the effect that after
this date they would be paid by the piece.
Fifteen of the men immediately rejecter!
the new terms and they were diacharged.
At noon thirty-five more of the wood
workers walked out on strike, leaving only
two or three men in ho department.
Heretofore the men have been working by
the hour and they assert that they would
be unable to do nearly so well by the
piece. "We would rather starve not
working than starve working," said one
of the strikers.
t'p to this time the. wood workers bad
not been concerned in the strike of the
machinists, boiler makers and blacksmiths,
as no attempt had been made to Introduce
the piecework system with them, and they
were satisfied with the wages they were
earning by the hour.
Recently the wood workers, In anticipa
tion of trouble with the company, formed
an organization, which will be affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor. All of
the wood workers at the Union Pacific
shops, with the exception of the two or
three who did not walk out yesterday, are In
the new union.
rifiemen Struck Friday.
The troublo with the pipemen began Fri
day, when the Drat orders to put them
on piecework was posted at the shops. All
of the pipemen laid down their tools, re
fusing to proceed under the new order. At
the request of the foreman they waited
at the shops until communication was had
with headquarters and the order for piece-
ork was rescinded. Then the men went
back to their tasks after a suspension of
operations for half an hour.
Pipemen were of the opinion that their
troubles bad ceased, but when one of
the leaders, John Ennls, finished his week's
work Saturday night, he was notified that
bis services would be no longer required.
It was the discharge of Mr. Ennls that
caused the pipemen to strike yesterday
morning. They appeared at the shops, with
a request for the reinstatement of Mr.
Ennls and when this was dented they
walked out.

CHARLES WOOD FOUND DEAD
Theory that Be Took an Overdose of
Oplnm to Alleviate
Pain.
Charles Wood, son of Captain John 8.
Wood, was found dead In bed at his resi
dence near Twenty-fifth street and Indiana
avenue Sunday morning by members of bis
household. The cause of death is a mys
tery, though it is supposed Mr. Wood died
from an overdose of opium, which was pre
scribed by his physician, or from disease
contracted while In tbe Philippine service.
Wood was known to have used opium to
alleviate his pain and he is supposed to
have administered an overdose the night
before his death.
Wood served with the Thlrty-nlntb volun
teer Infantry in the Philippine islands,
where he won the admiration of bis officers
by his gallantry and fine service. The serv
ice In the islands shattered his health, and
for the last two yeara he had suffered from
the exposure endured in tbe army.
RING WORN AND DANDRUFF.
'
They Are Each Cansed by a Pest If cr
oss Germ.
Ring worm and dandruff are somewhat
similar in their origin; each is caused by
a parasite. The germ that causes dan
druff digs to the root of the hair, and
saps its vitality, causing falling balr, and,
finally, baldness. Without dandruff tbere
would never be baldness, and to cure dan
druff it is necessary to kill the germ.
There has been no balr preparation that
would do this until the discovery of
Newbro's Herptcide, which positively
kills the dandruff germ, allays itching in
stantly and makes hair glossy and soft as
silk. At all druggists. Take no substi
tutes. There is nothing "Just as good."

WANTS TO BE A DETECTIVE
Ceaatryn as with Inspiration from
Nick Carter Applies for
n Job.
"Is this where they hire the 'fly cop
pers' T"
Aroused by the question, W. I. Kler
stesd looked up. from his work and saw
standing at the rait In bis office a stranger
whose entire presence bespoke the rural
districts. He wse burly, muscular and
healthy looking as to physique, snd his
earnestness and simplicity of expression and
his clothes and bearing indicated very
plainly that he was not "city broke."
Knowing that the youth must have asked
the question seriously but marveling at
the same time at the language in which It
was couched, Mr. Klerstead replied: "This
Is the office of the Board of Fire and Pollco
Commissioners, and here is where you make
application for any position on the police
force,"
"But 1 don't want to be a policeman,"
explained Jasper. "I don't want to walk a
beat, but to be a secret detective, a fly
copper, don't you see."
Then Mr. Klerstead recognized the fact
that he was "up against" one of the Nick
Carter, Old Sleuth or Sherlock Hojmes boys
with a large shpply of inspiration from the
10-cent libraries, and proceeded to let him
down as easily as possible. A few more
questions developed the fact that the daunt
less and ambitious Rube, fired with am
bition to ferret out crime, had Just come
to Omaha from somewhere out in the state,
so Mr. Klerstead told him he could not be
appointed to the police force in any ca
pacity without having been a resident of
Omaha at least a year. Then after warn
ing him not to bold any parley with two
young men about a lock, and under no
circumstances to lend any money to any
body to pay freight bills, with the custom
ary admonitions ss to keeping out of the
way of street cars snd live wires, Mr.
Klerstead sent his visitor sorrowing on bis

Among the business concerns of the
city omitted from the assessment rolls
altogether was tbe local branch of the
St. Joaeph Plow company and when this
was discovered by Mr. Fleming Friday
plght he reported the company mentioned,
with a number of others, to tbe board for
citation. Because of lack of time no cita
tion, was Issued, but the local manager
of the St. Joseph Plow company having
heard of the matter from Mr. Fleming, sent
word that his firm had no desire to escape
taxation in Omaha and would willingly
pay taxes on an assessment of $3,000,
which was the amount named by tbe tax
commissioner and wbich he believed to be
about the value of the company's stock
In Omaha between September 15 and No

this firm in the current tax levy, since the

LIKES HIS PRISON SENTENCE
Arthur Sylvester Smiles When Judge Givei
Him Three Tears.
WANTS HIS PICTURE IN POLICE PAPERS
Slrester's Pal In Held for Determina
tion of Qnentlon Whether He
Shonld tio to Penitentiary
or Reform School.
The October term of the district court
adjourned at 6 o'clock yesterday and with it
Judge Irving F. Baxter retired from the
criminal bench to be succeeded February 2
by Judge Lee Estclle, who Is now in Pine
Bluffs, Ark., and expects to return Jan
uary SI.
In regular term procedure the last work
of Judge Baxter In No. 1 was the arraign
ment of Arthur Sylvester and Gilbert John
son and the sentencing of Sylvester to three
years in the state penitentiary at hard
labor. Johnson's case is more complicated.
Judge Baxter thinks, and though the boy
pleaded guilty to the charge preferred by
the state the court remanded htm to Jail
to await investigation.
On January 13, it Is alleged, the boys com
mitted butglary at the shop of H. R. Bald
win, removing therefrom three Columbian
half dollars. When arraigned this morning
both admitted guilt and waived all steps
preliminary to sentence, but Johnson gave
his age as 17, and this blocked Judge Bax
ter's further action, as the latter Is In doubt
whether ho should go to the reform school
or the state penitentiary, the analogous
statute providing that a boy shall be 18 be
fore being sent to the penitentiary, but al
lowing him to remain In the reform school
until he is more than 18.
Suggest Law Revision.
The case is one well exemplifying the in
tent and purpose of the law revision that
Judge Baxter, through the Judiciary com
mittee of the State Bar association, asks
the legislature to take up, and so he left
the matter for Judge Eetelle to decide and
for the attorneys to investigate.
Sylvester, the other boy, was arrested on
a charge of burglary a month ago and
released pending good behavior. He smiled
when he was brought into court at that
time, and smiled when ha was permitted
to leave. A week later he was In police
court and smiled all through the bearing
which terminated in his release. Yester
day when again brought to face the district
judge the same ample smile played about
bis lips.
"He'll stop smiling when he gets bis
sentence," remarked a bystander.
But he didn't. The judge said "three
years," very solemnly and very sternly,
and everybody looked Impressed except the
prisoner. He kept right on grinning and
said "Thank, you, sah," Just as pleasantly
as though he had been given $3 Instead of
three years.
Going back to the Jail the deputy sheriff
exclaimed: "You seem to think this is
some kind of Joke. What pleases you?"
"Well, sab, I been wantin' to get my
pictuah in de oollce papers foh a long
time an' I reckon I cehtalnly land dls time,"
was the prompt reply.
