RAISE THREE ASSESSMENTS
Board of Review Makes SJisrht Chance in
the Work of Assessors,
PROPERTY OWNERS' COMPLAINTS NEXT
No Assessments Can Be Raised ow,
but Board Mill Has Power
lo Lower If Proof
Is Offered.
After spending several day's going over
the books of City Assessor Hardin, the city
council, sitting as a Board of Review, last
night completed Its work so far as raising
any of the assessments is concerned. After
mature deliberation and much discussion
the councllmen decided the assessments of
one dealer in second hand furniture, one
grocer and one pawnbroker were too low
and ordered their assessments raised, ns
follows: I. Cherniss. grocer, 513 South
-Main street, assessment raised from I7M)
to Jl.u"0; A. Uilinsky, deuler In second hand
furniture, IM9 South Main street, assessment
raised from V'iiO to $700; H. Laidlus, pawn
broker, 5IJ West Broadway, assessment
raised from $anO to $5oO. These increases.
should they stand, will raise tho revenue
of the city exactly IX.X.
The board adjourned to next Friday night
at which time any person dissatisfied with
the assessment made against him by Mr.
Hardin will have an opportunity to protest
either la person or by an attorney. The
board, having approved the assessment
books of the assessor last night with the
raises mentioned, cannot now increase any
assessment, but still has the power to de
crease. During the discussion last night Council
man Wallace called attention to the fact
that a number of men of reputed means
did not appear to have reported any moneys
and credits.
"If I was to put down all the men whom
I thought had money, I would need three
books as large as the ono I have. It Is
not always safe to act on what you think.
We nil were under the impression that
Officer & Pusey had a bank full of money,
but we were evidently mistaken. If men
who have moneys and credits which they
have failed to list then the tax ferret can
get in his work," was City Assessor Har
din's reply to the' couricilman from the
Third ward.
FEI.LKNTRETK.lt GIVEN HEARING
Testimony Taken to Show He la ot
Competent to Fill Position.
City Treasurer True and former City
Assessor F. F. Kverest testified before the
committee of tho whole of the city council
yesterday afternoon as to the qualifications
of Andrew Fellentreter, who asserts a
right to be appointed poll tax collector
under the old soldiers' preference law. Ills
chances for obtaining the appointment were
not Improved by the statements of Messrs.
True and Everest. Treasurer True read
the reports of Fellentreter while acting as
poll tax collector In 104 and of Collector
Mikesell, who held the position during the
recent democratic administration. Compar
ison of the reports showed that Mikesell
had succeeded in collecting. 500 more than
Fellentreter. Mr. Everest stated he had
employed Fellentreter to assist In taking
the government census In Wuo and that his
services had been anything but satisfac
tory. The committee decided to refer the
matter to the city council for llnal action
at Its next meeting.
City Solicitor Klmbnll was Instructed to
draft a new form of contract for public
Improvements which will provide a penally
for failure to complete a contract within
the time specified and to submit same. If
possible, at the next meeting of the city
council.
The city marshal was Instructed to
notify the Northwestern railroad to open
at once a culvert under Its tracks at Ave
nue B and Eleventh street.
The city engineer was Instructed to open
and drain several vacant lots on Ninth
avenue between Eighth and Ninth streets,,
of which complaint was made at the last
meeting of the city council.
Councilman Wallace, chairman of the
streets and alleys committee, was author
ized to purchase from Contractor Wickham
a carload of crushed stone at 11.92 per
cubic yard, to be used in filling up some
of the mudholes on West Broadway.
The visit of the committee to the Wood
bury avenue crossing of the Great Western
railroad to Investigate conditions there and
the need for a viaduct was postponed until
next Tuesday afternoon.
Matters In District Court.
Mrs. Diantha Scott filed In the district
court yesterday a petition of "bondsman
for protection" in connection with the case
ol Sylvester Stucker, under indictment on
a charge of concealing stolen property.
Stucker was Jointly Indicted with Harry
Hall on the charge of receiving and con
cealing a quantity of sugar stolen last
year from Illinois Central cars. His first
bond was placed at $350 and Stucker furn
ished a cash bond In this amount, the
money for which Mrs. Scott, who is a
sister of Stucker, says she furnished
Later the bond was reduced to $300 and
Stucker took down the $350 cash and furn
ished a bond with Bernhardt and Klein
aa sureties. Subsequently Barnhardt &
Klein withdrew their names from the bond
and Stucker by agreement of the county
attorney was permitted to furnish a cash
bond In the sum of $100, on which he is at
present at liberty.
In her petition filed yesterday Mrs. Scott
alleges that Stucker had no authority to
withdraw the $350 which she originally
furnished for his bond and which was
practically everything she owned. She
asked that the court now issue an order
forbidding the clerk to turn over the $1ii0
to Stucker or to any .one on his behalf, for
the reason that the money belongs to her.
Carnegie Library Robbed.
A drawer In the delivery counter at the
Carnegie public library building was broken
Into Thursday night and $3 in small change,
representing the librarian's collections for
fines, etc., stolen. The drawer was pried
open with a small Jimmy or chisel, aa were
several drawers in what Is known as
the cataloguer's room In the evident search
for money.
The doors ol the building after the li
brary la closed for the night can only be
opened from the outside with a key, but
from the inside they can be opened by
merely turning the latch. It Is thought
that J he thief managed to hide behind one
of the large book stacks or else In an upper
room until the Janitor had turned out the
lights and locked up the building Thursday
night af 9 o'clock.
In addition to the robbery, aomeone threw
a heavy piece of concrete through one ol
the windows in the stack room, tha missile
striking the big chandelier over tha de
livery desk and smashing ona Of tha elec
tric light globes. M. F. Rohrer, president
of tha library board, gave It aa his theory
that the missile wraa thrown by an accom
plice of the thief who robbed tha cash
drawer, th accomplice being on tha out-
ide to warn his companion Inside whn
the coast was clear for the latter to leave
the building.

SHOOT'S ATTORNEY TALIvS
Worthineton Says Client is Qualified to
Serve as Senator.
REFERENCE MADE TO DIVINE REVELATION
Lawyer sa Nlembera of Other
( hnrrhes Pray for Guidance
and that Smoot'a Re
lief la Similar.
WASHINGTON. April 13. Tne final ar
gument in the Investigation ot protests
agilnst Senator Reed Smoot being per
mitted to retain his seat, was begun today
by A. S. Worthington. counsel for the
Utah senator. For tho first time since the
proceedings were begun three years ago
Mr. Bmnot attended the session of the
committee. The number of spectators was
much less than during the Utah senator's
arraignment.
In opening. Mr. Worthington took up
the subject of Mr. Smoot's qualifications
to seVve as a senator, and followed this
by citing authorities in support of his
contention that It requires a two-thirds
vote of the senate to oust Mr. Smoot. An
swering Mr. Carlisle's argument that Utah
might go so far ns to send President
Joseph F. Smith to the senate, Mr. Worth
ington said that if such should be the
case he should be permitted to serve if
he gave up his plural wife and lived only
with his legal wife. In the event that
Smith should fail to live In obedience to
tho laws, said Mr. Worthington, then ho
should be expelled. Mr. Worthington
pointed out that Mr. Smoot's life had
been blameless and that he Is a law ablder
In every sense of the word.
Plnral Marrlnaree Condemned.
It was contended by Mr. Worthington
th'at plural marriages are no longer per-
ormed with the sanction of the Mormon
church. He said that I tali had been
raked and scraped" and the plural mar
riages brought to light since the manifesto
would not amount to one a year, and that
these offenders are now virtually fugitives
from Justice.
Taking up Mr. Smoot's confession thit
he believed In divine revelations. Mr.
Worthington compared this belief with
ervlces In other churches. Where divine
guidance Is sought, and argued that Mr.
Smoot's bollet is the same as that ol fol
lowers of other creeds.
Senator Knox and some other members
of the committee Interrogated Mr. Worth
ington concerning the alleged necessity of
members of the Mormon church of obtain
ing church consent to become candidates
for public office. Mr. Worthington read
from the church rule, as laid down In
lie Moses Thatcher case, and construed
his to mean that If a high church official
desires to become a candidate for public
office It Is necessary for him to resign his
church office or be excused from duties
in connection with the church position If
It conflicts with duties to the public
Farts Were Known.
It was argued 'by Mr. Worthington that
everything that has been charged against
the Mormon church In the way of activity
In politics and business was known when
Utah was admitted as a state and that
ono of the first senators from Utah was
Frank J. Cannon, who was a Mormon and
more subject to criticism than Mr. Smoot
cin be, and yet no protest was made against
him.
Witnesses who attempted to testify con
cerning the endowment house ceremony
were characterized as disreputable. lie
closed at 12:05 o'clock.
Chairman Burrows inquired when coun
sel would be ready with their printed argu
ments. It wa.l disclosed that botli Messrs
Worthington and Carlisle were going out
of the city and that tho printed arguments
could not be furnished before the middle
of next week. It Is said the date for a
vote on the case will be fixed by the com
mittee soon afterward.

DEMOCRATS SEE PRESIDENT
Rate Hill Is Discussed and Snavuested
Amendments Considered nt
White House,
WASHINGTON, April 13. Railroad rate
legislation was ugain a topic of Important
discussion today at the White House. The
president talked over the subject with Sen
ator Nelson of Minnesota, one of the
staunch supporters of rate legislation, and
later discussed It with Senators Simons and
Overman of North Carolina.
The president suggested to Senator Nel
son that In his judgment it would be well
to attach to- the Hepburn bill either the
amendment offered by Senator Simmons or
that by Senator Mallory of Florida, both of
which are .designed to prevent unusual
delay In the consideration of applications
for temporary Injunctions.'
The proposed amendments provide that
petitions for preliminary injunctions must
be begun before the rate fixed by the com
mission goes Into effect. Tho complainant
must begin proceedings within fifteen days
after any given rate fixed by the commis
sion and the notification has been received
Ten days then are allowed fur the taking
of testimony and the return of papers. In
thirty-five days all the facts In any case
must be ready for submission to the court
on a motion for a temporary Injunction
Such an amendment. It Is believed by the
advocates of rate legislation, would insure
a speedy determination of any given ease
and would prevent the delays which they
fear. It is regarded as likely that such an
nmendment may be adopted.

bert of the state supreme court yesterday
fllad a supplemental opinion In the Moyer

tion in tne province ot Batangas was up
held. The chief Justice finds the case an
alogous to the situation presented In Colo
