TAXES ON THE FRATERSAIS Attorney General Bales thet They Are Subject to Btate Aneesment RAILROAD VALUES UNDER CONSIDERATION tat Boar 4 of Assessment Bnay with Rrpont and Klgarea Trytag to Aaeartala Jbe Baa la for Taxatn. From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, May 9 (Special.) Attorney General Brown handed down an opinion at the request of the State Board of Equal ization and Assessment today that It waa legal and right to assess the property, moneys or credits of fraternal and mutual Insurance companies and kindred associa tions. liSter In the day the board, lit-pursuance of this opinion, decided to assess such property of fraternala. This afternoon the board, with Members Eaton and Galuaha absent, pored over the returns of the Union Pacific, figuring up the valuation of the road on the value of the stocks and bonds and on the net earn ings capitalised. The members present ap peared very much Interested nnd are con sidering very little the number of ties In the mile and the weight of the steel used. The members have all kinds of railroad re ports, manuals and other literature to aid them, and when a question arises they look to this literature with as much confidence or more than they do to the reports filed by the roads. The speechmaklng has not yet begun and the avalanche of railroad representatives la yet to come, so the work of the board now Is no Indication what the valuation of the various roads wtll be. Effect of Railroad Salta. Just at this time there is little doubt but the attituda of the railroads In fight ing the payment of their luxes will have some weight with the board. It wtll at least be two years or more before a final decision is reached, and thus several as sessments will be tied up in the courts. The board realizes that should the de cision be against the state it will mean that the railroads will have a club to swing over the heads of all future boards, and, even If the decision Is for the state, for a year or two they will have a club to hold over the board. It is thia that has created the sentiment for an extra session of the legislature. The governor knows he has a club over the railroads just as well as the railroads have a club, should lie care to use It. Many prominent people have requested him to call the extra ses sion. If for no other reason than to offset the club which the roads are now holding over the board In the nature of Injunctions. Representatives of the railroads hae sent men to the governor to protest against calling the extra session, showing that they are really scared. One representative of the railroads Is quoted as saying he would rather his road would pay the taxes than to have the governor call the extra ses sion for the purpose of enacting a rate law. Prescriptions by Telephone.

LATTER TO TAKE FIGHT TO PRIMARIES Majority of Other t nan ties Have No Co at eat, for aa a Rale There la Only One Candidate to the Coaaty. CFrom a Staff Correspondents LINCOLN, May 9.-(Speclal Telegram. -Paul Clark won out over H. C. M. Burgess tonight In the caucus to select delegates to be voted upon at the congressional pri maries tomorrow by a vote of 97 to S3. Bur gees, however, will place a ticket In the field tomorrow and the fight will not be de cided until the votes are counted. Both of these candidates reside In pre cincts B Of the Fifth wsrd and besides this one there was no contest. Judge Frost's friends claim he secured more delegates than he had counted upon. A great ma jority of the delegates were not Instructed. Political matters are beginning to assume definite shape throughout the district, as the primaries draw near and the status of the delegates to the various county conven tions become known. In some of the coun ties the result Is not In doubt because of there being but one candidate In the county. In Otoe there will be no fight, as the dele gation to the Falls City convention will be Instructed for Judge William Hayward. The Otoe county convention will be held Mon day, May 6. The delegation from Tawnee county will be Instructed for W. H. Wilson at the convention, which will be held May Tt, m-hlch In the same date bj the county convention to be held in Richardson. In the latter county there Is considerable doubt as to how the delegation will stand. George W Marsh, former secretary of state, and O. O. Cooper are pitted aganlst each other for the control of the delegation, al though It Is conceded that Cooper can con trol the convention should he make an ef fort for the delegation. Thus far he has not made an active fight. Johnson county will be for A. B. Allen. Cass county will undoubtedly send a dele gation Instructed for, if not named by. Rep resentative Robert B. Windham of Plntts mouth. The latter made a splendid record In the last legislature and was the recog- nlxed leader on the floor of the house. This made him many friends throughout the First district who will be favorably Im pressed with his candidacy. The long stand ing friendship between Case and Otoe coun ties will possibly continue and should Windham develop considerable strength In the convention it Is not unlikely that Otoe will go to Cass county's candidate. This Is not probable, it is said, should Pollard se cure the Cass county delegation, as Hay- ward would not feel under any obligations to Pollard because of the latter's stand In not voting for M. L. Hayward during the senatorial fight six years ago. Looks Bad for Chandler, BROKEN BOW, Neb., May 9.-(SpeclaI Telegram.)

The past week has been about normal In most parts of the state. The mean dally temperature averaged almost exactly nor mal In southern and eastern counties.

It wm about normal In central and northeastern counties, wnere It was slightly less than 1 inch. It was above normal In norwestern counties, where It eenaiderablv exceeded an Inch. The cool and generally wet weather of the past week has been favorable for wheat and rye and they continue In excellent con dition, uats nave grown fairly well, but the stand Is somewhat thin In places.

On Wymore division there was -ery little rain; in fact, none except In the vicinity of Strang, Superior, Edgar and Blue Hill, where Dreclnitatlon was llht. There are places on Wymore division where surface of the ground Is becoming some what dry, but no place In thla district where vegetation Is actually suffering for moisture. On the night of May 4 frost was predicted by the weather bureau, and there may have been enough to fulfill the prediction, but not enough to do any damage. The growth of winter wheat dnrlne the week was very satisfactory In spite of cool weather. The bug man of the state uni versity has had considerable work done In the wheat fields during the week, and re ports mat mere are a good many Hessian files present and that many eggs have been laid, especially In Jefferson, Clay, Fill more and Nuckella counties. As Prof. Bruner claims to be an investigator, not a prophet, he will not make any guess as to the damage that may or may not result from the pest.

HAXS CAE PROGRESSES SLOWLY State Xot Making aa Strong; Case as Expected, AINSWORTH, Neb., May 9. (Special Telegram.) The Fred Hans trial is pro gressing slowly, only about half the wit nesses for the state having testified. The first witness called was J. C. Tolllver, who Identified the bullet marks In the door nd boards taken from the Inside of the Luse house the day after the shooting. The state made a point when H. D. Rob erts testified that Hans "told him after ho return trip from the lAine ranch, "I got Liise." On cross-examination the wit ness qualified this statement by saying Hans told lilm he had to kill I.,use. Theother principal witnesses examined In the case were the county Judge and he sheriff at the time of the shooting and the state failed to make the strong proof from these two witnesses It had an ticipated, the Judge testifying that he handed the warrant to Hans to serve on use and the sheriff acknowledged his will- ngness that the prisoner should serve It, thus destroying a point for the state, which was contending that Hans was without au thority when he went to arrest I.use. Bo far the prosecution has failed in pre senting damaging evidence to tho de fendant's cause, hut those In authority claim among the remaining wltneses will be brought out some startling facts which will show that murder had been premedi tated by Hans at the bohest of local men for a consideration. Evidence leading up to this point was brought out by the last witness on the stand this evening, who testified that the accused hired a team and buggy of him three evenings Just prior to the time of the killing and never re turned it until about 2 o'clock the next morning. rm of Nebraska.
