THE OMAHA DATLY BEE: SATURDAY, JTE 23, 100(3. 11 AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA 'WaUr Company Object to Method Ifikinc Itt Assessment of STREET RAILWAY ALSO PROTESTS ON RAISE Faeker rrobably Will Bo Given a Hearts; Today Boar Haa Am aoaared Ho Decision on Any af Corporation. to ".pencer. Chief Brine made th Th Board of Review met with aome real opposition at the hands of the Omaha Water company yesterday. The situation Is that Charles J. Collins, one of the deputy tax commissioners, assessed the water works company only $325,000 this year. When the books were brought In the tax com missioner. W. H. Queenan, ordered the figure mode the same as the previous year, or T3G,000. 'On this change the water company Is raining Its obJec""r.s. An at torney representing them waited on the board yesterday afternoon. He proceeded to catechise Mr. Queenan for the ground he hod taken In ordering the raioe from the figures of the assessor. When the caas was taken up formally ths- board called in City Attorney H. B. Fleharty to support the action of th city. Tha contention of Mr. Queenan is that the water company paid Its tax lost year without objection on the same valuation as at the present. Tha water company made the plea that It was too busy last year with litigation In Omaha to take up the case at that time. The hearing will be continued at 9 a. rn. today, aa there was not time to finish the exam ination last night. Tha street railway company was also before the board with a mild protest against the advance" from $41:5.000 to $450,000. The argument presented was that It was a bad precedent to submit to an annual advance In valuation. tt'o this Mr. Queenan replied In subslsnce that next year the valuation would not be Increased unless the company should Increase the value by putting in more trackage or other personal property. The packers will In all probability b be fore the board today. Asks Bosids Bo Transferred. The city clerk received a telegram from Bpltser A Co. asking that Instructions bo given to tha Packers National bank and by them to the Fourth National of New York to turn over the balanoe of the bond Issue, amounting to $150,000, to Spltser & Co. In accordance with the contract en tered Into by J. R. Easton. Debs Talks on Socialism. Eugene V. Debs, the exponent of so cialism, succeeded In Interesting a , large audience at the Workman temple last night. At tha hour of the opening of tha meeting every seat In the large hall waa occupied. "The effectiveness of the prin ciple of competition In national evolution," ha asserted. Via gone forever. There is no longer any competition. All railroads. packers, miners, grain buyers, merchants or other major Industry have ceased to oompete. It Is Idle to talk of reviving competition. The Implements of capital have grown too large to admit of competi tion. They are beyond the power of the individual. All production has been cen tralised and all labor Is centralized. It remains, therefore, to perfect the system and hav all ownership centralized as well which Is the embodiment of tha principles of socialism. The foolish claim that the socialists wish to divide up all wealth and distribute to each laborer his share Is In effect to attempt to renew the wornout idea of competition. In the process of de velopment co-operative ownership will sup plant the capitalist." , . Colored Man Has Smallpox. A negro afflicted with a genuine case of smallpox sat for an hour or more on tha curb before the city hall yesterday after noon. His name waa John Davis and he has been living for some time past at 2518 Q street. He waa discovered by Dr. Leo Del.anney walking at large on West Q street.

DeLanny. city phy sician, turned him over to the sanitary Inspector, who took him up to a vacant lot In the vicinity of L street.- Here he stationed htm In the middle of the lot and sent for the emergency ambulance. He waa taken to the Omaha Emergency hos pital. The Inspector then disinfected hi clothing. The .doctor stated that tha case had not developed to the point of Infec tion and that little danger waa anticipated ti the people with whom he associated. About twenty negroes In the neighborhood where he was found were vaccinated last night. As many more who know them selves lo have been exposed by associating with Davis will be vaccinated today.
