full text of the decision.
Ma Cawsaeat Dwedslaa.
"I do not. care at this time to make any
comment concerning the decision. I have
been taught to believe that when the su
preme court of the United Eta tea made a
decision a lawyer was bound to believe
that It was a correct conclusion as to the
law, and while so feeling and abstaining
from adverse comment,' I cannot resist tha
temptation to say that If other property,
real and personal. In tbe state of Ne
braska was held to the same ratio of
valuation as is placed upon railroad prop
erty, the rate of taxation In this state
could be greatly reduced. I do not mean
by that to say that the one-fifth valuation,
which Is the ratio recognised by the lsw,
obtains as to other property and does not
obtain aa to railroad property, but I do
mean to say that In forming the basis ol
ths conclusion railroad property Is taken
at Its full valuation per mils, and some
times far mors than at its full valuation
per mile, and one-fifth of that full, or
overvaluation, forms the basts of the as
sessment, but It Is notorious that as to
real estate, merchandise, stocks Irf trade,
live stock and personal property of what'
paver description owned by private Indi
viduals, the values fixed are frequently ab
surd and aometimes bat a small fraction
of tha actual value, and one-fifth of that
absurd low valuation la taken as the as
sessment. Bays Railroads Pay Ksrrss.
"In other words, the rallttwds of
this date, being unable, or unwilling, as
you please, to hide away their property
ownership as private Individuals do, pay,
and have always paid, far beyond their
fair proportion of the taxation of this
state. If to cltlsens generally the same rule
of valuation could obtain as obtains to
railroad companies the tax fixed would be
on a very different hasls both as to cor
porations and Individuals. In other words,
aa ran hide nothing and can conceal noth
ing and that what we have Is open and ax
hlblted to the world, the reports required
to be made by us under the federal and
state law making full showing of prop
erty ownership.
"If this rule of full and honest showing
could be applied to private corporations,
and Individuals the tax- assessment of this
state would be enormously Increased and
ths burden of government support would
not fall, as It does now, upon those who
are so unfortunate as to own railroad
stock.
Howt Pwrpwse s( gaits.
"Vothwlthstandtng the' clamor of the
prsav these suits were instituted to en
deavor to obtsln a fair adjustment and
consideration of tbe tax assessment In the
stats of Nebraska, and the effort to bring
a boat such fair assessment and honest re
turns will be continued. No one connected
with this railroad corporation, from its
president down to Its least official, has any
deetra to evads or avoid the payment of
taxes honestly due. but we feel that these
corporations that have been and are con
stantly dying so much to advance the ma
terial Interests of this state should not he
hounded at every turn and held to a rule
that does not obtain as to other tsxpayera.
i "Our Information la that tha. decision In
I this case Is not that of a unanimous court.
but that Justices MeKenna and Peckham
disserted. I will await with very great
Interest the "full text of the decision and to
see tha ground upon which the majority

and the reasons sssigned by the dissenting
Justices for their difference la opinion with

"It appears that Justice la not throttled

The families of Charles Morrow, Henry

two, two and four, respectively. The

which Is the oldest of the eight. One of
the stricken children Is 14 years and an
other t years. The Clausens and Riches
live In the-same block, while the Morrows
reside in another portion of the town.
Dr. Adams said sn investigation disclosed
the fact that the Morrows had been visit

There- no good reason for " any man's

There's only one reason why ha has been

The divorce secured by Charles C. Eas-
aett In Washington the oy the tnai oi
his wife's case here began Is valid and
the district oourt of Douglas county has
no Jurisdiction In the Basse tt dlvorcs case.
This Is the decision handed down Tuesday
morning by Judge Redlck.
Judge Redlck pointed out In the coarse ot
U-pagre written opinion that the matri
monial domicile of the Bassetts naa ai
aya remained in Washington and that the
Jurisdiction of tbe courts where the mstri-
monUtl domicile is eatabllahed. is not at
fected by the anawer to the question.
Who Is at fault when one of, the parties
departs from that domicile T' It would be
clearly unjust, say the opinion, to de
prive on of the parties of power to get a
divorce at home because the other party
had left the state. Xhe two cases on
whose precedent the opinion was based are
those of A th art on and Haddock decided In
the United estates supreme court.' The
question of domicile was of Importance In
tha Haddock case, but la the- present one
the court held It was not of Importance
because, a In the Atherton case, the de
cree offered wa rendered by a court In
lh place where the plaintiff's domicile
and that of matrimony had always ex
isted.
Why Artloa Was Delayed.
Tha court aavs:
Perhaps I should say in explanation of
the refusal of the court at an earlier stage
of the trial to determine the question now
decided that I have been much affected by
ha unfni-tunata nllsht of the plaintiff in
this case, regardless of considerations as
to who Is resoonstble therefor; snd It
seemed my duty to leave open to her every
nu u'hl.-h nromised succor and reller.
And I must not be understood by this
nrMr .toj.i.isin u holdinc that the Juris
diction of the Washington court extends
in ih .1 .terminal Ion of any Questions In.
volving the custody of the children, or the
right which they have to call upon their
fnthtti tnf Minimrt Atifi maintenance.
The objections to tne proceeding" 01 mj
Washington court will be overruled, and I
hold In thla ease that by the decree there
the marriage relation between the plaintiff
and defendant was dissolved, and that this
raee. at least lnsofsr as It involve that
question, must be dismissed.
' wo IsrsrlM to Either,
The attorneys were on nana a usual
and Rev. K. Lawrence Hunt. The an
nouncement of the decision by ths court
occasioned, seemingly, no surprise on either
side. Attorney Baxter and Van Dwsen,
for Mrs. Baasett, immediately asked leave
to make a showing to prove that the court
her has Jurisdiction to determine the cus
tody of the children, two of whom are
with the mother and the other two with
hr relative In other cities. The court
.will hsar this matter Wednesday morning.
If Judge Redlck decides he has Jurisdiction
to dispose of the children, the taking ot
testimony will proceed to how the quali
fication of each party to have the cnn
dren. If the court decide he ha no Juris
diction In this matter be wilt recognlt a
writ of habeas corpus which Mr. Bassett
can then apply for.
"What will be your future movementa
and what course will you pursue to clear
yourself and Mr. Bassett T" a reporter
aaked Rev. Mr. Hunt. '
"Regarding my future plans." he replied,
"I cannot state now, because thla new ur-
prise has far the day stunned m from my
power to think and plan cieany. tiegara
Ingr the second question. It ssems clear to
me this morning that the law leavea me or
anvone else utterly powerless legally to
wipe out this legal stain."
Host Short of Fwada.
A to carrying tbe Washington decision
favoring Mr. Bassett to the United States
aunrem court Mr. Hunt said he had spent
hundred of dollar already In the attempt
to clear himself and Mr. Bassett and wa
financially unable at present to carry it
up. As to whether or not he would even
tuallr appeal he was unable to say.
"Would you accept a church today If It
was .offered?" he was asked.
"That Is a very delicate question,", be
said. '"but if any church should glv m a
call I should certainly accept It.
The decision of Judge Redlck waa a blow
to Mrs. Bassett. She bad depended upon
,h. local court for a victory. Bh wa re
Dorted to be not at all well.
Attorney Btout and Colllday. for Mr.
Bassett. were naturally elated over their
.ininrv. but said they knew the outcome
could not bo otherwise.
Mr. Bassett Is still in the city and may
yet be called to the witness stand If the
court decides to boar the matter ot the
hiidrens' custody. Ben wircnua, wno
Bassett' chief ally, returned te rew
York several days ago.

Hanging In efflgy W. W. Fisher, a
reputable business man and cltlsen of
South. Omaha, whose only crime wss ad
vocating 'annexation of Omaha and Souta
Omaha, seems to have com a long -ways
from subserving the purpose of those who
ought by this means to advance tha cause
of anti-annexation. Sentiment is amply
aroused to make this point unmlstakahly
certain.
Late Monday night a reporter In South
Omaha was called on the telephone by a
woman.' who advised him that aa effigy
wa hanging at Twenty-fourth and H
streets. Investigation proved tbe tip to be
true. The efflgy was taken down by re
sponsible men,' who found It was not mere
child's play, but evidently the work of
matured mind.
The figure, was labeled "W. W. Fisher."
Mr. Fisher ha had the courage of con
victions of late to declare his sentiments
in favor of a Union ot ths two cities. When
the form was taken down the coat It bad
on showed this on the clothing tab:.

hung has been found it has not been pos
sible to ascertain who wa implicated In
the job. ..

Most sober-minded people of South Omaha,
whether for or against annexation, are
disgusted and Indignant at this dark lan
tern trick and are not slow to condemn It.
City Attorney Fleharty, however, only
see In the depredation a hug oka. Hia
ony comment was:
"Fisher brought It on himself."
Mr. Fleharty, with othsr office holder,

O. W. Masson. chairman of ths Board of
Fire and Police Commissioners, said:
"I don't approve of that kind of- work,
and never did. Mr. Fisher ha a right to
his opinion. It will hurt the cause of the
antl-annexationlsts. There Is no nesd of
any uch bitter feeling. Mr. Fisher baa not

E. L. Howe, postrasster. said:
"It la a touch of the wild west and an

P. A. Barrett called it, "A dirty piece of

Tr. W. C. Bents, a republican candidate
for the schodl board, said:
"It was the work of the rum-aculllon.'
Morgan Heafey, one of tha strongest
fighters against annexation, deelaredt
"I don't approve of that at all. I earns

hia business because he don't believe I
do. He has a perfect right to think what

"What might be the tumult In yon hall

"There is a movement oa foot to petition

closing saloons on St. Patrick's day," tbs
