From a Staff Correspondent.)
l-.INirLN. Aug. t (Special.) The State
Board of Equalisation back tracked on Ita
refosal to grant the request of the V nlnn
Pacific for a record showing the board had
refused to Inrreaaa land value, by reaclnd
' tnc that action, and then turned right
around and did the earn thing again by
'including In Ita final resolution a denial
. of tha remonatranoa of the Unloa Pacific,
j When Bdson Rich, attorney for the rail
road, aaked that the resolution be adopted
Treasurer Brian Objected and voted alone
.gainst adopting the suggestion of the
( railroad lawyer. Mr. Brian held that Mr
f TUcrtltad no right to attempt to make up
'fthe records of the board, but that If he
wanted a bin of exceptions or any kind
of record he should take It from the records
'Of the board, tha board to keep Us own
minute. The other four members of the
board, however. Voted for the Rich resolu
tion, after slightly modifying It. Then,
fearing they probably had made It easier
for tha railroads to get Into the courts, all
the other members . endorsed Mr. Brian's
tand by voting to rescind their action.
Mr. Rich was to hare appeared before the
board this morning to argue for his bill
Of exceptions, but he failed to show up
ntt1 lata this afternoon.
After a debate lasting the remainder of
the afternoon, the board turned down the
request ef Mr. Rich for a bill of exceptions.
In the btll as prepared by him were state
ments regarding the valuation of personal
property, which the board said had nothing
to do with the land values, and therefore
had no place In the error procedlngs. The
actio, of the board In refusing the request
bad tha sanction of the attorney general.
While Mr. Thompson snd Mr. Rich were
consulting and trying to get together Gov
ernor Sheldon announced that If the at
torneys could not get together the board
could. nd at once the vote was taken and
tha request turned down. The Union Pacific
will appeal to the supreme court for a
mandamus to compel the board to give It
tha bill of exceptions.

WHERE SLICK MONEY GOES
Coins Worn Past Identification Worth

Covers neat lias Table of Deereue
la Weight Natarally to Be lis

Wear.
What becomes of all the money that Is
worn smooth or plugged or othe. wite mutlll
ated? This Is tlmost as great a mystery as
either of those much mooted questions,
"Who hit Billy Patterson?" and "How old
In Ann?"
"The worn and mutilated coins In Omaha
circulation are bought up by dealers In
Chicago," said O. T. Zlmmermann, paying
teller In the Flrt National bank. "When
ever the bank receives a coin that Is worn
so that It cannot be recognised or that Is
plugged or mutilated In any way, the teller
puts it away In a bag kept for that purpose.
About four times a year the dealer comes
around and buys whstever we have on
hand just as the Junk man comes around
and buys the old Iron and lead you have
lying In your barn. t
"Silver or nickel coins, as long as any
part of the Inscriptions can be deciphered,
are generally accepted at their face value.
The moment the last trace of Identification
disappears the coin becomes merely so much
metal. Silver coins bring about SO cents on
the dollar and nickel Is bought up at about
the same price.
Different with Rold.
"With gold It Is a different story. That
aristocrat of the money world Is too vslu
able to be overlooked. Gold coins are ex
amined closely and If they appear worn
more than the date of their coinage would
warrant we have to make a discount. The
government has a table of decrease In
weights naturally to be expected from or
dinary wear. A badly worn gold coin bear
ing date of 18u attracts no attention. But
If a coin of lX) date Is badly worn It Is
noticed at once and there Is naturally a
sunplcion that It has been tampered with.
"We send worn gold coins to the Treasury
department and there they arc marked with
an 'L' which stands for 'light.' Many peo
ple do not know what that letter stands for
on a gold coin.
Trobably the total volume of worn money

Wealth la the Discovery.
The man who would discover a process of
making gold and sllves coins hard as ada
mant would doubtless become wealthy. Still
he would give the death blow to that fas
cinating game which people now play of
getting rid of worn coins. Who has not re
turned home and noted a badly worn coin
among the change received In the day's
tranfactlons? Then, of course, It Immedl-

CHIEF HAYES.. IS LET OUT
Fifth Change la Kansas City Police
Force Since the Ihskeif
Besan.
KANSAS CITY. Mo.. Aug. 1. Governor
Joseph W. Folk's promise of a shakeup
In the local police department, made on
May 17 when he came to Kansas City to
personally start an Investigation of charges
of corruption, was given added force this
afternoon when the Board of Police Com
missioners failed to. reappoint Chief John
Hayes, and named Daniel Ahearn, Inspec
tor of detectives, acting chief tn his place.
Later a permanent chief will be named.
Lieutenant Charles Ryan waa made In
spector of detectives, to succeed Ahearn.
Hayes Is the fifth officer to be let out or
who has resigned stmte the Investigation
waa begun. It Is stated that others high
ln rank on the force are to be ousted and
that over twenty policemen will be dropped
from the rolls.
It had been given out that Chief Hayes
waa to be ordered before the board and for
mally charged with Irregularities. Instead
the board decided simply not to recommls
slon him. As Hayes' commission had ex
pired no action of removal was necessary.
The board acted unanimously, although
Mayor Henry M. Beardsley, tha repub
lican member, had only recently, together
with Commissioner Roxxelle, who on Mon
day was summarily removed by Governor
Folk, declared In favor of recommtsslonlng
Hayes.
Patrolman Harry A. Arthur attempted
to shoot ex-Police Commissioner Rosxelle
Just before the police board adjourned to
night Roxxelle waa on the witness stand
trying to Impeach the testimony of Ar-
i thur, which had been damaging to Chief
Hayes. Arthur Interrupted the witness
and Roszelle resented the Interruption In a
heated manner, whereupon Arthur at
tempted to draw his pistol. Chief Hayes
dlssrmed Arthur and quiet was restored.
Earlier In the session Commissioner Gal
lagher called Chief Hayes a liar, when
the latter told the board that Gallagher's
son had used his father's Influence to se
cure Insurance business ln saloons and
disreputable resorts. Ex-City Detective
Bert Brannan, who had supplied Hayes
with the evidence against Gallagher's son
then rushed forward and called Gallagher
a liar. It required the active efforts of
Mayor Beardaley and several officers to re.
store order.

Alarm of Dates.
Republican candidates for office are
alarmed over a supposed uncertainty ln
the primary law as to whether the old or
the new registration wUl govern the
primary election. Primary day by the law
is made the first day of registration and
those who have examined the statute de
clare there Is some doubt as to whether
the voter can vote on Ills registration that
day or whether the registration of the
previous year will govern. In ease the new
registration Is taken It Is pointed out
democrats can register as republicans and
vote to put a weak ticket In the field.
This tendency, they say, would be Increased
by the fact the democrats will probably
have no contest on for offices and partis
ans could afford to register and vote the
republican primary ballot In the hope of
putting up a weak ticket to fight at the
regular election .
C. J. Ernst of Omaha has definitely de
cided not to be a candidate for re-election

OFFICER PUBLICLY DEGRADED
New York Policeman is Fonnd OnlUr
of Cowardice Ttemnrkabl
Scene at Trial.
NEW TORK, Aug. 1. A remarkable scene
closely paralleling that memorable one In
Paris when Captain Alfred Dreyfus was
publicly degraded before the French army,
was enacted In the trial room at police
headquarters today. For the flnt time In
more than thirty years a patrolman had
been adjudged guilty of cowardice. Ho Is
Stephen 8. Walsh, who, according to the
charge made against him, last week fled
from an armed man who had shot and
killed a woman.' The keen Interest with
which the unusual case was followed rose
to a point of dramatic Intensity when
Police Commissioner Bingham, who had
presided personally at the trial, announced
In a voice choked with emotion that the
charge against the unfortunate man had
been proven. Then the commissioner turned
to Inspector Richard Walsh, ln whose dis
trict Btephen Walsh Is a patrolman, but
who Is no relative of the dismissed man,
and directed the Inspector to strip Walsh
of his shield and uniform buttons, so that
he might not leave the trial room with the
emblems of his former position as a police
man ln good standing on his person.
The crowd looked on In wonder and ex
citement as the Inspector advanced to per
form his unpleasant task. The dismissed
man stood still and offered no resistance
as the shield was unpinned from his breast,
but when the Inspector started to detach
the buttons of the uniform Stephen Walsh
stepped back and appealed to his attorney
against any further humiliation being put
upon him ln the presence of his former
comrades. Commissioner Bingham, who
was laboring under gTeat excitement. Inter
posed and directed the Inspector to conduct
his former subordinate to the steps of the
police building and eject him. Stephen
Walsh offered no resistance and went wtth
the Inspector to the outer doorway, where
he was formally directed to leave the build
ing. Throughout the unusual proceeding
Btephen Walsh maintained his composure.
Stephen Walsh was one of the two men
against whom a charge of cowardice was
made last week, when Frank Warner was
permitted to escape after killing Esther
Norllng. Before Warner was csptured he
shot and wounded John C. Wilson and
terrorlxed hundreds of persons. Patrolman
Rooaa, the officer whose name was coupled
with that of Walsh In the cowardice
charge, waa exonerated after a full hear
ing before the commissioner.
