(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Neb., May 4 (Special.) It Is
not only possible but It Is probable that
the action of W. J. Broatch In vising the
police form of Omaha aa a political ma
chine to break up political meeting! and
to coerce voteri will result in his being j
removed from membership on the Board
of Fire and Police commissioners. There
Is no question but Governor Mickey is
seriously considering the manner In which
the police force of Omaha Is being con
ducted, with a view toward a betterment
of conditions.
This morning Governor Mickey was
asked if substantial proof was laid before
him to the effect that members of the
police board were using the police depart
ment of Omaha aa a private machine to
further their own Interests and to break
up opposition meetings, would he remove
such members. The governor desired that
he be not quoted In the matter at this
time, owing to the fact that tomorrow is
lection day and owing to the serious con
dition that now exists in Omaha.
While the governor has not during the
last few days kept up with the reports
concerning members of the police board,
by reason of his absence in St. Louis, he
is by no means asleep to the necessity of
some action being taken. The governor
expressed himself as being deeply con
certed at the situation In Omaha, and
while he would state nothing definite at
this time, he intimated that in the near
future some action w.u'd be taken to se
cure a board of fire and police commis
sioners that would attend to the business
assigned to that branch of the city gov
ernment and not make out of the police
department the mere political machine that
It is now.
Governor Mickey stated thet.be would
have to look up the law In tte matter
first and then proceed slowly In a manner
that would result in receiving the appro
bation of a majority of the people of
Omaha. .
Roosevelt ij Interested.
President Roosevelt felt that some action
would be necessary In Omaha politics and
before leaving St. Lculs he and Governor
Mickey bid a t!k regarding the matter.
While the governor would say nothing
this morning that would tend to show that
he was at all prejudiced In the Omaha
political fight, he gave the Impression that
he realized the members of the Board of
Fire and Police commissioners were acting
contrary to tbo law and be intimated also
that In the near future ha would take a
hand in the affairs of the board with a
view to making it what It ehould be. The
statutes gives to the governor power to
remove a member of the beard from office
whon that member does not do his duty,
who violates his oath or becomes Incom
petent to serve. ' The governor Intimated
that he would call upon the people of
Omaha to assist him in selecting a board
of police commissioners that would do Its
duty in conducting the police force in the
interest of the people and law and order
and not as a mere machine at the beck
and call of politicians.

Little ( hana In Railroads.
The Indications are that the State Board
of Equalization which meets tomorrow will
not materially change the assessment of
railroad' property from the returns made
by (he last board.
Treasurer Morteuspn said this morning
that In determining the value of franchises
he thought It a good plan to take one-fifth
of the coat of construction from one-fifth
of tho market value. The difference be
tween the two should constitute the value
of the franchise. Mr. Mortensen did not say
how to arrive at the market value of the
road. Friends of equal taxation claim that
the market value of a road la what the stock
will sell for pltia the bonded Indebtedness
This Is the same Idea, said a defender of the
Caldwell amendment, that friends of equal
taxstlon tried to get through the last leg
islature and failed.
Treasurer Mortensen, however, said that
In view of the fact that a new revenue
law had been enacted and It would take
effect In September, It was his opinion
that no general stirring up of affairs would
be attempted by this board. The first meet
ing tinder the new law, he believed, would
be of much more Importance and much more
interest would be taken, to the end. that
material changes would be msde in the
railroad assessments.
Governor Mickey said he was entirely
new at the business and consequently did
not know what would happen nor how '.o
go about It. This would have o be at
termlned after the board got down to
work. When asked If the railroad fran
chises would be assessed along with their
other properties, the governor stated that
while he had not studied the matter care
fully, he intended to follow the dictates of
tha constitution.
The railroads are already at work and
It Is presumed that they will continue at
work until ater the board had adjourned.
This morning an agent of the railroads
called upon a member of the board and
with tables of taxation and tables of valua
tion and with tables of taxes paid by the
railroads tried to convlncej him that the
railroads, all their property and all their
franchises had been assessed sufficiently
high by the last board.
Whether the Omaha Real Estste ex
change, which assume, to be In favor of
higher asressments on K,"7 V.
will prepare figures to dispute those of he
railroad agent, ha. not tea m'

The Hotel Men", association of Omaha
tried Its luck In Lincoln for waiters. The
agent of the association has gone and It
1. generally believed that be took no
waiter, with him. The agent who regis
tered at the Mndell under the name of J.
H Dahrse, came here May
inserted an ad in a local paper signed J.
H. D.. stating that the association wanted
thirty colored waiter., twenty-five dish
washers, yard man, vegetable man tor .5;
v. tin to 190. Another ad in
the same paper atated that thirty dining
room girls were wanted at 7 per week
each It was .tated at tne noiei ini. nr.
nnnn that the man had gone and .o far
a. any one know, he failed to aecure any
assistants. The waiters here are still on
a strike and It U not probable that the
men of Omaha would do business In the
way ot securing help. The agent first
registered from Omaha and then .cratched
out that town aaa inserxea r
Back from St. t,onte.
Governor Mickey, hi. .taff and the other
state officers, have returned from St. Louis
where they went the flr.t of the week to
attend the dedication of the Louisiana
Purchase exposition. All ot the state cf
ncer. report a mo.t enjoyable trip and
rinvnmor Mickey .peak, especially of the
cordial treatment he received at the hands
of President Roosevelt during the entire
trln. He spoke also of the cordial recep
tlon given to Grover Cleveland by the peo
ple of St. Louis and the vlsltora.
Pay-Ins on School Lands.
Deputy Land Commissioner Eaton was
busily engaged in taking care of a flood of
check, ot .mall denomination, which i.
pouring into hi. office aa a re.ult ot the
passage of the new law providing for the
payment of fee. tor making out new leases
and preparing copies of records. The
checks are of very small denominations,
ranging from SO cents to $1.50, but they
come in so plentifully that they are ex-
fpected to produce a considerable fund at
the end of the year.
Mr. Eaton did not take kindly to the Job
of taking care of the .mall check.. He 1.
obliged to spend his evenings quite often
making record of the checks. The legisla
ture turned down the application of the
department for another clerk. ' ,
Mr. Eaton Saturday returned from a land
leasing trip throughout the western sec
tion of the state. He said this morning
that the bid. on land had not equalled
those received on former trips through that
section. He say. that the atock raisers
were afraid to bid, because they bad suf
fered considerable loss of atock through
the cold weather. Much of the stock ac
cording to his observations, i in such poor
condition owing to the lack of food that It
is unable to withstand a slight chill. He
said that one man reported the loss rf
forty bead of cattle out of bis bend. Lack
of range is the reputed , caus of the
trouble.
The Commercial State bank Is a new In
stitution at Republican City. It has been
organized with a capital stock of $5,000
with these men as incorporators: J. B.
McGrew, E. C. Moffett, R. V. McOrew. The
application was received by the banking
board today.
