DOG PLAYS THE STAR PART
Does Musical Tarn la f'oirl and Then
Starts Commotion la
Corridor.
In Judge Fawrett's court room ye sterdsy
morning a plain black dog with no an
cestry to particularly bonit of and no other
distinguishing appurteraore got more no
toriety ani attention than most dogs get
In a whole lifetime. The spnnlel belongs
to John A. Rylen and la the one charged
with having bit little Dorothy Wyrllle.
whose, father la suing Rylen for $10,000 be
cause of the Incident, alleging that the
little girl's nervous system was affected
by the attack.
When the dog was brought In, to be put
looked
dubious. They had seen dogs before and
they knew there was no telling what sort
of commotion might be precipitated. Bailiff
Morgan slipped out to the Janitors' room
and got a club.
Just when things got going well the dog
remembered his musical education and
began to vocalize softly, under the wit
nesses' bench. The court frowned and the
bailiff edged over to within reaching dis
tance. The dog grew melancholy and took
the high note from the mlsorere. Some
body reached under the bench and the tune
switched to "Brush By, White Man." Pro
ceedings temporarily came to a stop, snd
the court said: "Take the dog Into the
corridor."
Then resl trouble began. An old colored
man asked somebody what the dog was do
ing there, and the somebody answered that
It had bitten small girl. The delegate
from Dahomey Inferred that the canine had
the rabbles, snd he started for the other
end of the hall. As he went he let every
one know what was doing, and everyone got
busy. Never since the smallpox scare hns
there been such a hurried clearing out In
the temple of Justice.
The Judge was expected to Issue a re
straining order forbidding the dog to "In
terrupt, Interfere with or In any way mo
lest the district court In the discharge of
Its nstural duties, or to In any manner an
noy or Intimidate any officer thereof or any
person legally entitled to be in or about the
courthouse of said county, or to exact from
any such person any portion or fragment
of such person's anatomy as such person
may be reluctant to pa,rt with or may wish
to reserve for his or her own dog."
City Treasurer Hennlngs has been gath
ering statistics to show the necessity for
devlslni- a war to collect a cart of the $2,-
000,000 delinquent tsxes duo the city of evidence, the court officers all
Omaha. Thousand of lots are encumbered
by unpaid taxes greatly In excess of their
value, and as Illustrations be presents Bve
striking examples, using the fair cash val
uations made by Tax Commissioner
Fleming for the 1903 assessment. A lot
valued at 1250 has IS16 In taxes standing
against It; another piece of property worth
D,375 baa taxes against It to the amount
of 110,(90.16, and there Is one small lot
which 1160 would buy that has $615,911
marked up In delinquent taxes.
The city treasurer has been gTestly Inter
ested In the proposed legislative measures
designed to secure, not only the collection
of back taxes in Omsha and the placing of
the property in position where It may yield
regular revenue, but the state as well.
Present Law : Inadequate.
"It is estimated that there are from $7,
000,000 to $10,000,000 atate, county and city
taxes delinquent In Nebrsska," he says.
"Probably one-third of the property con
cerned never could be redeemed under tho
present lawa. We should get a bill through
the legislature to clear up this property
snd to get it paying taxes sgatn.
"Besides the benefit of a large amount
of back taxes which we could collect under
the so-called acavenger bill, it would de
crease the levy for tsxes in future yesrs.
Of course, under our present constitution
this can be accomplished only by regular
court proceedings.
"The best remedial legislation proposed
that I have aeen la a bill in the hands of a
repreeentstlve from a western county, which
he proposes to Introduce Into the house
this week. From my point of view, after
careful consideration, It la a measure that
f-hould be passed, and I believe It should
lve the hearty support of the Douglas
county delegation."
Synopsis of the New Bill.
Mr. Hennlngs has a synopsis of this bill
aa follows:
The county treasurer shall prepare a
complete delinquent Hat of taxes each year
and this ahall be bound and kept as a
permanent record similar to the present
Bales Record."
This record shall have suitable columns
showing the kind and amount of every tax
against each tract, as well aa the total
amount due. It shall have columns for
the entry of payments of taxes and re
demption from tax sale, the name and
address of the purchaser and his assignee,
as well as other columns for entries of
orders of court, etc.
Tha rarnrd shiill have a formal statement
attached to It and shall be filed with the
clerk of the district court. It then be-
omes k petition and Is the commencement
of a suit to enforce the taxes. ,
Notice of the filing of the petition and
of the amount due on each tract Is then
published four weeks.
Those who wish to contest the taxes must
fie answers by September 1. A default
decree Is entered against all land when no
contest Is made.
Lands defaulted are Bold under an order
in" court, after advertisement, in November
each year
When less than four years taxes are
delinquent lands must bring full amount
of taxes. Interest and costs, but when four
or more years are delinquent lands may
be sold to the highest bidder regardless
f tha amount due and without appralae-
'"in the latter case the bid may be raised
by any .person within eighteen months by
filing; with the county treasurer an offer
of a premium. The highest premium must
bo accepted.
Wales draw Interest at 12 per cent per
annum. The period of redemption Is three
ears for the ordinary sale and two years
tor the aala where four or more years are
Included.
The atate, county or any city may be
come purchaser where their taxes are In
volved and are not required to advance
money. All such sales, may be assigned
by the treasurer to any purchaaer at any
When taxea are contested the court
enters a decree after a regular trial. The
state ault has light of way over all civil
Luslnesa of the court and several pro
visions are found in the act to get an
early decision.
The owner and occupant of every tract
of land Is served with notice by the sheriff
(or by publication) that the time of re
demption will expire on a certain day.
If there Is no redemption application
mafia to the court sale Is confirmed and
deed mads under the court's order. This
deed la an absolute title to the property.
There are provisions discouraging the
filing of contest or appeal solely for delay.

DECISION OF EXECUTIVE COUNCIL DUE
I,ornl President Kennedy Kxpeets to
Hear Within Tnrslr-Foar Hoars
Whether Fight Is to Be
Kxtended.
ROCK ISLAND AGENTS MEET
They Are Being: Instructed as to New
Belatloaa with Southern
Pacific.
A Chicago, Rock Island Pacific pow
wow was In progress in Council Bluffs yes
terday. At the Grand hotel was a meeting
of all the agenta of the Iowa divlBlon of that
road with the chief men of the operating,
traffic and auditing departments. A halt
dozen of the high officials were out here to
Instruct the agents in various topics relat
ing to their respective departments.
It is said that the most important feature
of the meeting waa a discussion of the new
phases of the work of the representatives
of the road that have Just arisen aa a re
sult of the recent alliance of the Rock
Island with the Southern Pacific railway.
Head men in the different departments of
the railroad instructed the agenta thor
oughly in the complications and ramifica
tions that result from thla relationship.
The officials present at the meeting
were: H. J. Bllfer of Chicago, general
superintendent; C. I Nichols of Falrbury,
Neb., division superintendent; W J. Law
rence of Dca Moines, division superintend
ent; H. Gower of Chicago, assistant freight
traffic, manager; W. H. Burna of Chicago,
freight traffic auditor.
Some fifty agents were In attendance at
the meeting. It began at 10 o'clock yes
terday morning and continued all day long.
It waa a memorable occasion for the agents
of the Iowa division.
E. F. Kennedy, president of the locsl
union of striking boiler makers, Is confi
dent that within twenty-four houra it will
be known whether the Union Pacific atrtke
Is to be extended to the other Hsrrlman
lines. Ever since the brief and decisive
conference between President Burt of the
Union Pacific and the general committee of
strikers' representatives two weeks sgo
the burning question has been: "Will the
men be pulled out slong the Southern Ps
clflc and the other Harriman lines?"
Mr. Kennedy expects this to be answered
this morning, and as a conse
quence there Is a decided spell of hushed
anticipation over those favored few of the
men who know that the crisis approaches.
From the start there has been no hope of
the machinists on ths other lines being
pulled out, as there have been aeveral rea
sons why they could not snd would not
quit work. But with the boiler makera It
has been different. Tljey can and will
come out any time they are ordered to.
This has been known snd admitted all
along, and it has been merely a question
of the order being given.
When President McNeil of the Interna
tional Association of Boiler Makera and
Iron Ship Builders left. Omaha ten days
ago to go to his headquarters at Kansas
City It was to settle this matter. He placed
he question before the executive council
of the association. This confprlses six
members, scsttered over the United 8tatea.
The affair waa one of correspondence, snd
took time.
Vote of Direct tsaestloa.
The only question on which the council
was asked to rote was, "Shall the men on
the other lines be taken out?" Since then
Mr. McNeil has been waiting in Kansas
City for these replies. He haa not gone
out over the Southern Pacific, aa an
nounced In his plans, tor It would be use
less to go out there without knowing where
he stood. '
Finally the votes have commenced com
ing in. Two have already reached Mr. Mc
Neil. The otbera are expected aoon. When
the decisive vote arrlvea he will telegraph
President Kennedy the result. Monday he
wired Mr. Kennedy that the matter was
very near a conclusion, and that a decision
could be expected any time now, probably
not later than Tuesday night.

COURT RULES FOR CHILDREN
Participation by Adults in Mock Tea Partial
is Held BationaL
JUDGE HIMSELF LIKES TO "PLAY HOUSE"
Fact that Woman Took Part In Chil
dren's Amusements Is Held Not
SaRlrlent Proof of De
ranged Mind.
In admitting to probate the protested will
of Margaret A. McCoy yesterday Judge
Vlnsonhaler ruled that participation by
adults In children's tea parties does not
prove Incompetency of mind, and that con
stant resdlng of the bible is equally in
sufficient ss such proof.
Mrs. McCoy's son, Alonso A. McCoy, now
of Battle. Wyo., was the protestsnt against
the probating of the will, desiring to break
It on account of the bequest of $500 to
Bishop J. M. Thoburn and Dr. Baker "to
be expended in procuring bible readers for
the Zenanl people in India." The protest
ant alleged undue Influence and Incompe
tency on the part of his mother, and It
was to sustain this latter allegation that
evidence was introduced to show that Mrs.
McCoy had spent much time reading her
bible, and had also given considerable at
tention to the process of correctly "setting"
the table for children's mock tea parties,
and had participated In them. Tho judge,
said:
"This court Is not in a position to con
cur In the opinion that auch conduct proves
Incompetency of mind. Indeed, If It does,
not only thla court, but ths greater and
the better portion of the population of this
country Is deranged. This court unhesitat
ingly confesses that It has sat with all
the dignity and decorum possible at tea
tables no larger than a sheet from the
court docket, snd on which the only viands
were apples of too tender sge and crackers
about whose age there could be no doubt
at all. Moreover, the court has deliberately
and willingly eonnived in an effort to have
pure cold water served ss tea. at auch
functions, and has even consented without
protest to hold a doll In lta lap and com
ment on the decoration of auch doll's bonnet."
