STABB1XC CAUSES COMMENT Warden Beemer Beported to Be Angry Eeoausa Faota Leaked Out, LOOKING 'up state.; ANTUTRUST LAWS State Board of Equalisation Gola Throask Real Eatate Values and Some Coaatlea May Be Boosted. (From a 8ta(t Correspondent.) LINC:OLN. July 26. (Special.) The "tab bins of Foreman Edward Stelner of the J! room and Puster compaay by a con vict at tlw state penitentiary Mondajr aft ernoon may leud to a general overhauling Of affairs at that Institution. It was re ported today that Warden Beemer Is not only very much put out, but very angry that the atabblnc affray got Into the news papers end. la now conducting; an Investiga tion to discover tho Identity of the man vho dared to give out information con crrnlnfi a matter so serious as an attempt to murder. After the murder at the Lincoln hospital (or the lnsAne, which occurred the day be fore the last eieetion, and the resulting caudal, .lecaus the state officials sup pressed tli iictft. It a given out that whenever anything happened at a state in stitution the facts should not Ik- suppressed. Warden lteemer. It seems, however, was not u party to that announcement, and Is so angry, so It is reported, that the news papers got hold of the fuct, as to cause him to threaten to discharge the person who tipped the story oft to the newspapers. it Is very probable that Governor Mickey will now look Into the Institution more closely than he has horetofore done and that he will also turn the searchlight more thoroughly onto applications for paroles before granting them. It has been rumored in Lincoln today that a number of prison' ' ers had been paroled to members of the last legislature, who secured them through political Influence, but suck, however. Is hot the case. The records show, that only one mejnber of the '""t legislature, a state senator, has one of the convicts. The others are scattered over the state. Colonel Samuel Melick of the governor's staff hay ing four, who are now at work In his liv ery stable at a salary of $10 a month each. In all there are thirty-two prisoners out on parole, and the terms of three of them will expire In a few weeks. A number of the paroled men have caused considerable trouble to officers and others, and this, to ire t her with .the stabbing; affray of last Monday, will likely cause a change of sys tem In conducting affairs at . the state's prison. Looking; Vp Aatl-Tmst Laws. Attorney Howell of Omaha la busy today In the office of the secretary of stitts look ing up the Nebraska laws to prohibit iho formation of grain trusts. Mr. Howell said he was not just sure what he wanted to find nor what he would find, but Was merely looking to see what he could find. He is not certain, he said, whether he wanted the Worrall grain case sent back to the state courj or whether he wanted it to continue In the federal court, to which It has been transferred. He will know, however, he says, when he gets through with his present examination of the en rolled bills. Mr. Howell Is under the Im pression that the Junkln antl-trast law la unconstitutional, for the reason that It exempts local corporations and applies only to foreign corporations. Checking Ip Real Estate. The Btate Board- of Equalisation Is checking up the returns on real estate to day and the Indications are that a great many counties will be boosted. The work on this particular item of property Is tedious, because the board must analyse the returns of the county assessors thor oughly to see whether the assessor has made the Increase In the valuation this year that was ordered last year. In a tew of the counties this has not been done. Box Butte county will receive an Increase of 10 per cent on Its real estate valuation, Colfax will be boosted 2 per cent and Da kota 10 per cent. The Western Electrical company of Omaha has secured an injunction from Dis trict Judge 8ears to prevent the collection of the certliled check for 300 which the r company filed with the State Board of Edu cation to guarantee a contract it had to do some work at the Kearney Normal school and which was ordered forfeited when the company attempted to gig back on the contract. The board merely wanted the company to forfeit $"196.60 of the 3ii0, but for the present even this amount la tied up. The check is stamped "paid, July 6," while the notice of protest Is dated July 7, consequently the board has written for In formation concerning this. Good Prospeet for. Fair.
