JUDGE BURNS THEyPRISONER
Tells Hint Ho Has Most Profoaad
Conteasat of Every Hoaest
Foraoa.
'How can a depraved creature like you
stand and look a man In the face? Are you
thoroughly lost to all manly feeling? Any
man who would do what you admit doing
has the most profound contempt of every
honest person. "
This was part of a scathing arraignment
which Police Judge Crawford made when
R. Coleman was brought before him
Thursday morning. Coleman had regis
tered at a local hotel with a beautiful girl
as man and wife. Wednesday the girl's
mother and her brother called at the police
station. They had come from Wisconsin In
pursuit of the pair. Officers found them
occupying the same room. Coleman waa
arrested, but the mother, not wishing to
drag her daughter's name Into the affair,
refused to file a complaint and left with
her daughter and son for their home.
Under the circumstances no serious
charge can be prosecuted against Coleman,
Judge Crawford continued the case to
Monday and Coleman, who Is without
money, will have to soli his fashionable
clothes In jail with the common vagrants.
Coleman is a tall, slender man. His light
greyish brown suit la of the latest cut and
the buttons of the coat are set with Imi
tation diamonds. The patent leather shoes,
the shirt, the tie, the Derby hat, all are
sartoiially faultless.
Coleman told a reporter for The Bee that
he was "In concert work." He admits oc
cupytng tho same room With the girl, but
declares It was with tha consent of the
mother.
"We have been traveling together," he
said. "The girt and I cams to love each other
and when her mother saw this she consented
to let her occupy a room with me, while
she, herself, occupied the room adjoining.
Then her brother came and stirred up this
trouble. I have A wife and child In Buffalo,
N. T., but we have been separated. I mar
ried her when I waa 20 and lived with her
ten years.', I am 31 years old now."

PROTEST ON LEGACY TAX
Eleren Eeasons Filed by Executors of
John A Creighton.'
ATTACK INHERITANCE TAX LAW
Fall Amoa'.t of tS4,S3.40 Is raid,
bat Withheld from Rosa Food
PeadloST Deelalea of the
Coaotr Attoraer.
Eleven separate and distinct protests were
filed with F. A. Fursy, city and county
reasurer, by the executors of the John A.
Creighton enttte In the paying over of the
Inheritance tax to that official. The pro
tests cite principally unconstitutionality of
what they term th "so-called Inheritance
ax" and conflicting state laws. John A.
McShane, John D. Creighton and John A.
Schenk, executors, signed tho protests. Th
tax of 2164.5830. .including Interest, was
paid, every cent being under protest.
Six ressons were cited in each of the pro
tests, a seventh being Included In the pro
test on the payment of the Inheritance tax
on the educational and charitable Institu
tions In which the state law exempting
educational and charitable Institutions
from paying tax Is quoted.
The first reason given in the protests Is
that the "so-called Inheritance tax law"
Is void under the constitution of the state
of Nebraska, the second Is that It is void
under the constitution of the Vnlted States
nd that It Is conflict with the fourteenth
amendment to the consltutlon providing
that property cannot be taken away with
out due process of law. The third reason
says that the law "violate? the provisions
of the constitution of the state of Ne
braska which requires all taxes levied upon
property to be equal In proportion to the
value of the said property." The next 'pro
vision says that the law undertakes to
Impose taxes in a manner not equal to ail
classes, 6 per cent being levied on Institu
tions and 2 per cent on the tjelrs. The
next is that tha law is "unreasonable, un
just and denies the equal protection of the
lew." The last reason Is that the Interest
expected Is unlawful because It constitutes
penalty for failure to pay the principal
of the assessment before It is possible to
determine the principal.
In explanation of this last reason two
state law are cited, one which provides
ror six mom ps lime m wnicn 10 me com
plaints after the filing of a will for pro
bate, and tha other providing for the pay
ment of Interest on inheritances If the tax
Is not paid within six months from the
date of the death of the man leaving the
estate. The executors say these two laws
conflict In that a complete statement of
the unencumbered estate could not be filed
until after the expiration of six months,
and therefore If the law is valid Interest
should not accrue until after the lapse of
another six months. John A. Creighton
died on February 7, 1907, and Interest? be
gan to accrue on August 7, 1907.
Pending a decision from th county at
torney the county treasurer will not place
the money in the regular road Improve,
ment fund. Into which fund inheritance
taxes are paid, but will hold It' In the
protest fund.
BRUNING MAY NOT REPORT
Hesitates to Hare Ilia Finding Lost
la Larger Investigations oa De
tention Homo.
County Commissioner Bruning, chairman
of tho committee to Investigate the con
struotlon of a Detention home, may not
make his report to the board at Its Satur
day meeting, if the board at that time is
still -determined to mak Its trip to other
cities - to Investigate' ' concrete; paving,
Chairman Bruning doe not want to make
his report and then have the-commlssloners
forget it while looking Into the paving
matter. His committee has several propo
sitions under consideration, but It desires
also before making a recommendation to
the board to hear what the members of the
visiting board have to say on the matter.
Chairman Bruning is not unfavorably lm
pressed with the Idea of erecting the De
tention home on the poor farm grounds,
but he believes the children who are kept
at the home will be able to do mighty little
farming ao a large tract of land. In his
opinion, is not necessary.

URE THINKS . LAW IS PLAIN
tee llo Reason for So Marh Mlaander-
staadlasT of Terminal Tit
Statat.
The suggestion of Secretary Bennett of
the State Board of Assessment that TV. Q.
I're. county commissioner, assist th board
In Interpreting the terminal tax law and
act in an advisory capacity to the secre
tary, who is In dally receipt of letters of
inquiry from the various county assessors,
until the board meets, doe not scar Urs,
though he has no intention of volunteering
his service.
"I notic that a good many of the county
assessors ssy they are up In th air on
tha law," said Mr. Ure, "but I see no
reason why they should be. There should
be no trouble If they will Just follow th
law and do what Its provisions prescribe.
Of course, many of the assessors are new
to the work of assessing, having been newly
elected last fail, but a great majority, I
should think, have served as deputies for
four years and the regular assessment
work will not b difficult for them. There
Is considerable detail work provided under
the terminal tax law, but It seems plain 1
to me that the work is mapped out for
the assessing officers."
Recently Secretary Bennett called a
meeting of all the county assessors at Lin
coln to discuss th law, and Mr. Bennett
explained It In detail, urging the assessors
to carry out the provisions Just as they
appeared In the law. Since then many of
th officials appear to have overlooked a
number of questions they wanted to ask
him and Bennett's mall hss been heavy
every day. The state board meets the first
Monday In May to begin the assessment
of railroad property.
HACKLEY WANTS MORE TIME
Brighton Sheriff Insist on Having
Preston Held, hat Chief Say .
Not Long.
From Sheriff C. L. Hackley In Brighton,
Colo., came another telegram to Chief
Donahue Thursday morning concerning J.
B. Preston, the man who has been at St.
Joseph's hospital for a month under guard
recovering from three bullet wounds which
the Brighton sleuths believe he got In an
encounter following an attempt to rob the
Brighton postoffice the night of March 7.
This is the telegram:
Vu Preston for as long term as possible.
We will nay expenses If required. Difficult
to get requisition papers at present. Am
working hard on case and expect further
developments soon.
Chief Donahue replied that Prestoh could
not be held for vagrancy and that unless
the Colorado authorities take him soon
the guard will be removed and Preston
allowed to go.
A man has been kept at the door of Pres,
ton's room day and night for nearly a
month now, and the Brighton authorities
have not produced one particle of proof that
he is the man they are looking for. The
local authorities are about tired of the
dilatory precedure.
