Negiect or refusal to make proper re turns subjects you to the exercise of the assessor's Judgment,, faulty as it may be, and you are nut entitled by law to any no tice of what that Judgment Is. Notice is only required where you have made proper returns and Jtt hi proposed to Increase your assessment. Building and loan shares are as assess able at meir surrender vnlue.

Parties who return schedules not sworn to or who do not return schedules are subject to action of Boards of Review and Equalization. Corrections can ' be made on application to the Board of Review or Equalisation, but their rule of late has been to put all complainants, without exception, under oath; therefore you will save annoyance and tha department much extra work by meeting the- foil requirements of the. law in the appointed way through the assessors.

POSITION OF CITY ENGINEER Attltwde of Mr. Rose-rater aa Lettlaig ef Sewer Contract Explained hy Himself. OMAHA, Sept. 13.-Edltor of the Bee: In the Interest of truth I ask that you cor rect the statements In yesterdays Bee which represent me as oposlng the letting of sewer contracts to the lowest bidder. As a matter-of-fact I urged and Insisted that the contract for the main sewer should be let to Mr. Jensen, the lowest bidder and made motions to that affect. The majority members, however, after long opposition, attached an apology for saving' tha city $10,000. whleh I Opposed. I also favored the letting of the contract for' sewers In district 296 to the" lowest bidder because, first there is no exouse for awarding toany one else, second, the charter absolutely requires that tha con tract for such work shall be let by competitive bids to the lowest responsible bidder and Inasmuch as a tax Is to be levied for this work, by letting the contract to any one but the lowest bidder the col lection of the levy, after completion of work, will be enjoined and the city held liable for the entire amount.

M'VANS'S .INITIAL REPORT OotnmiMioier of Commercial Club Telia ef . Pg-t tod Intur- Work.' CO-OPERATION KfYNOTE OF ADDRESS Irges Commercial lalea of Omaha . aad Cooacll Blaffa aa Means of Mataal Beatlt to All Their Interests. Commissioner McVann of the Commercial club, presented his report of the ope rations of the last three months to the executive board of the club yesterday. It is Just three month since the com missioner took charge of the business end of the organisation. Hla report showed tho work of the organisation in the ad- j vancoment or uraana iniereeis, otmimi the various efforts to keep the railroads In line and working to prevent discrimination against the city. "Tho question of the removal of the fac tory of Richardson eV Co.. from Dubuque, Iowa, was handled by Chairman Wright and the promotion committee," said Mr. McVann. "The factory was brought to pmaha and forty operatives and their fam ines added to the population of our city Tho expense of this removal was paid by individual contributions of club members. Regarding the matter of a uniform bill of lading, Mr. McVann aald: "I attended several meetings that were held in Chicago to dlscuaa the subject but decided, that for two reasons It would not bo beat to cimmit our club to active participation In the plana to defeat tho adoption of the proposed bill of lading. "Two trade excursions have been handled by the club. These excursions were hand led by Mr. F. P. Klrkendall and Mr. F. W. Judson. Details were admirably planned and successfully carried out and all re ports Indicate that they accomplished a large amount of good for Omaha as a market. It Is recommended that further excursions of the same kind be organized from time to time, so that Omaha's hold upon its tributary territory may bo strengthened." Flsrht on Coal Rates. Mr. McVann reviews the fight for equi table coal rates, concluding: "There are some developments In this matter that have been decided upon, but which I am not at liberty to make the sub ject of a public report. If these reports ma terialise they will make our situation bet ter than It is under present conditions." He reviews the various other freight rate fights. He gives full credit for co-opera tion of Omaha and Council Bluffs jobbers, Mr. McVann called attention to the mem bership of the club, and efforts that should be put forth to enlarge it. He thought every member of the Coal, Grain and Real Estate exchanges should bo a member of the club. "Developments," continued the report, "have showed us clearly the Importance of better relations with Council Bluffs, and It has been my policy for three months to cultivate In every way possible more friendly relations with business Interests there. I am pleased to be able to report that I have been apparently successful In this. I believe that this policy should be continued in every way possible. The two cities are one community commercially, and should be made so In fact. "September 1, with the help of Superin tendent Bodwell, I succeeded In obtaining a decision from .the executive committee of the Nebraska State Teachecs' association to transfer its annual meeting from Lincoln to Omaha. It ia expected there will be 3,000 or more at this meeting. SHERLOCK HOLMES OUTDONE King of Sleatbs Fades Away Beside Work of Two Omaha De tectives. ! Sherlock Holmes and his pals will hsve to call at the office and receive their time when they hear of Detectives Mitchell and Davis' recent solution of the Omaha trunk mystery. After a still hunt for two days looking for a "short, heavy man with a red mustache and two dogs, one brown and the other white, the latter having a dark spot on one side of his head," the detectives mentioned finally located an expressman named McDonald with the trunk tn the case. According to the story Miss Mabel Burns of 614 North Seventeenth street wished to change her address to Fifteenth and Cap itol avenue and, having a trunk which was too heavy for her to carry when carefully packed, she engaked McDonald to transport her baggage. McDonald called and got the trunk, but through some misunderstanding did not know where ' to deliver It. He called again at Miss Burns' former ad dress, but she had gone and no one knew her. new address. The expressman had a trunk on his hands and Miss Burns a load of anxiety on her mind. She called at the police station and reported what she believed -o be the theft of her trunk, the contents of which she valued at $60. The detectives received a description of the man said to have taken the trunk and also a description of the two dogs he had. Immediately ths men who run down clews started to scrutinise all ca nines following express wagons. All day Sunday thev maintained a vigil, but night fall came and the curfew blew and Mias Burns still waited for her trunk. Mon day, however, the energetic detectives were rewarded by noticing two. dogs, such as already described, sleeping under an ex press wagon. The trunk was in the wagon. The expressman was waiting for an ad dress and Miss Burns waiting for her trunk. The -detectives straightened the m&tterand the dogs woke up.

BECOMES EFFECTIVE NEXT SATURDAY Local Men Attrlonte tho Trlomph to Efforts of Commercial Clah fader Direction of Commlssloaer MeVaaa. The Chicago Northwestern has Issued a new coal tariff effective September 17. restoring tUe old rate of $1.01 on all gradei of steam coa! Into Omaha. The Commercial club has Its fight for a restoration of tho coal rates tn force before the raise of August 1. "One of the chief factors In bringing about this happy condition of affairs Is the Chicago .lorthweetern," said a com mercial man In the fight. "It Is the means through which the Burlington, Wsbash anJ other roads will have to restore their old rstes. The compromise cut of I cents by which they hoped to hold on to a part of i the advance did not satisfy the Commercial ' club and Its energetic commissioner. It was stated Monday that nothing short of a restoration would satisfy the club, Its commissioner and the users of steam coal." ' When the railroads under the leadership of the Burlington and In response to the commands of Mr. Crane, the new cpal man ager, for more money, advanced tho rates to Omaha and Nebraska points 14 cents on the ton, the Northwestern became a party to this increase with tha distinct under standing that the rates to Kansas City s.nd St. Joseph were to be Increased too. But It Is questionable if the Missouri Pacific Burlington or Wabash ever had any inten tion of advancing ratea to other river points. When the compromise tariff was Issued September 1, to go Into effect on the 10th lnst, the conferring railroads ignored the Northwestern, considering It but of slight importance. In the Omaha business. Always a Factor. "But it Is a fact that the Northwestern has always been a factor," said . a coal dealer. "It Is the owner of the Cudahy Packing company' coal contract, bringing over 125,000 tons annually to Omaha on this one coal contract The Northwestern mines ere at Muchaklnock, Iowa, and thla makes the haul to Omaha longer than any other Iowa coal brought here. That the Northwestern Is willing to haul this coal here Is on evidence of its desire to cater to Omaha trade." The Northwestern Issued Its new tariff this morning. The tariff on lump coal Is not changed, but It Is on mine run, pea, slack and screenings the steam coal that the reduction la made. By the recent joint tariff these grades were separated, but the Northwestern Joins them again under one grouping and the rate Into Omaha will then be $1.01 a ton, as compare 1 with the $1.03 of the Burlington and other roads. This Is exactly the old basis. ' , "This means," said a Sixteenth street coal dealer, "that the other roads will have to meet this rate or there will be a rtiah of order to the Northwestern Indeed this road should get it anyway, as its action is Invaluable to Omaha." Bfirllngton Jlot Yet. The Burlington has as yet taken no fur ther action. It was said at headquarters that if a change Is made In the rates such action will be taken at Chicago and that nounng may oe aone until word Is re ceived from there. The local officials had received no report from Chicago late thla afternoon. PREACHER RACES TO WEDDING Drives from SprlOgfleld to Omaha aad Goes fader Wlro by Scratch. Thomas N. Bundy snd Sarah E.
