OFIJKCTIOS TO KGIM8 HOI SK ilTK
City Treasurer Trse Gives Some of
the Reasons.
City Treasurer True Is of the opinion
that there sre several weighty reasons
why the proposed new central fire sta
tion should not be erected over Indian
Creek at the foot of Bryant street. "It
I the rankest folly, as I looh at It. for
the city council to even consider the erec
tion of the rew centra' fire station over
Indian creek," declared Mr. True yesterday
with due emphasis.
In the first place Mr. True contends that
sn equally suitable. If not better site could
be secured by the city for les money
than City Engineer Btnyre estimates the
cost of the concrete supporting walls In
the creek will be. According to the city
engineer, the coot of the concrete retsln
Ing walls will be st least K,0no snd Mr.
True Is of the opinion that a suitable sito
for the proposed new building could be
secured for $3,600. In fact he says that
tlv. agent for a site In the Immediate
vicinity of the present fire houe has
offfred the city enough ground there for
tiie proposed central fire station for t3.5'X.
True, like many others. Is somewhat skep
tical abort the proposed concrete retain
ing wall on each side of that turbulent
little stream proving a solid foundation
for the iKilldlng. as there would always be
the possibility of a washout In the event
of an extra heavy flood. Such a condi
tion could not he possible, Mr. True points
out. If the house wa erected on terra
flrma.
"It would be different." said Mr. True,
"If there was no site except this little
triangular strip at the foot of Bryant
street avsllaole, hut such Is not the case
A suitable site can be obtained on either
side of the present building. While I am
opposed to putting the new fire station
across the creek, I am not seklng to draw
It down on Sixth or Seyenth or any other
street. I have no ax to grind In the mat
ter at all, but there are two lots right
scross the street from the present location,
either way, which would be Just as good,
snd In my opinion better site than where
It Is proposed to locate the building."
There 1 a question also as to whether
the city owns the triangular strip at the
foot of Bryant street. There Is nothing
to sho-sr that the city own this property,
although It has been In possession of It for
thirty yrars. The record title, however,
I entirely lacking, plscusslng this phase
of the matter, City Treasurer True said,
"As a matter of fact, the records of the
court, a Is well known to the city offi
cials and others who have Investigated
the matter, fall to show that the city
owns that particular plot of ground where
the engine house now is. The city his
an abstract which falls to show the
scratch of the pen whereby the city has
title to this property."
"There would be another advantage, too.
of building on other than the present site,"
declared Mr. True. "It would permit the
present ststlon to be maintained during
the process of construction of the new
building. When the new building was
completed, the city could either use the
present station for some other purpose, or
It could sell the property, assuming that
It Is owned by the city of course, to some
private party. The proceeds of such sale
could be used toward defraying the cost
of the site for the new house."

Assessor Find Sixteen Million Dollars
Worth More Than I. oat Year.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DEB MOINES. July 10.-(Spe l.il.)--The
complete personal proirty assessment
report la In the hands of Auditor of State
Carroll today and shows an Increase of
Sit. 000,000 In the assessed value of tha
personal property of the state, amount
ing to about $4,000,000 In the taxable
value. The total taxable value or tha
personal property returned this year Is
$123,522,000 and last year It was $119.
627,664. The figures will be used by
the Iowa Tax Revision association to lay
before the legislature In the hope of con
vincing It that fully three-fourths of tho
personal property Is never assessed and
that there should be new legislation.
The executive council will equalize a
nessments, beginning Monday next, and
the figures will be presented to the coun
cil then.
The supreme court today reversed In
favor of the plaintiffs the libel suit
brought by Dorn A Mof'lnty of Neola

place and affirmed In favor of the
plaintiff th case of John Burger against
the Omaha t Council Bluffs Street Rail

Pottawattamie district court awarded
Dorn A McGlnty $1 damages. They ap
pealed and tha supreme court reversed
the case.

AdvetUsa in The See; It goes lata the

One of the most Important subjects
that came up for discussion by the coun
cil of presidents at the recent Boston
biennial was that of the General Federa
tion's endorsement which Is asked by all
sorts of organixatlons with all sorts of
Interests. While many of these requests
can be promptly refused, there are re
quests from civic and philanthropic or
ganisations that deserve consideration,
that still have no rest claim'-upon "the
federation. Mrs. Decker reported that
over 4,000 such requests had come to
her, embracing everything from soap
companies to Important stete and na
tional legislation. It was determined
that at the next biennial a definite plan
and scope of federation support should
be presented for consideration In order
that there' may be uniformity of action
by the various statu federations toward
other organizutlom;.
A definite statement by the General
Federation defining the lines of work
which It advocates and supports by its
influence would relieve the state federa
tions of embarrassment f hen their aid
or endorsement Is asked by locai oiita li
gations that they can not consistently
help. This question has been an Im
portant one with all organixatlons of
women, and the Importance of having it
officially solved by a pronouncement
from the General Federation has been
recognized by all state and city club
officers. It has been recommended that
this matter be brought for consideration
before the biennial council which will ba
held next year, alternating with tho bi
tnnlnl convention. If the council evolves
a plan this may be presented to the next
biennial for endorsement and so save
much time.
Mrs. Keete as a Director.
The election of Mrs. H. D. Keefe of Ne
braska as one of the eight members of the
board of directors of the General Federa
tion of Women's Clubs Is an honor much
appreciated by Nebraska club women, while
they realize that it la no more than Is due
them. For the last two years Mrs. Kecfe
has served as president of the Nebraska
federation and In that office has demon
strated her fitness to deal with the larger
Interests of the woman's club movement.
Mrs. Keefe Is a graduate of the I'nlverslly
of Iowa and a teacher and club woman of
experience. She la tactful and broad In ad
dition to her other qualifications and Is
Immensely popular In Iowa as well as Ne
braska, where she has done must of her
club work.
I This Is the third time that Nebraska has
been honored with representation on tlv
board of directors, although only the second
lime that It has rally enjoyed such repre
sentation. Mrs. Frances M. Ford, formerly
of Omaha, was a member of one of thu
first boards and at the expiration of her
term, until the St. Louis biennial four years
ago, Nebraska was not represented. At
.St. I.ouls Nebraska's Importance and lis
consequent claim for representation on the
board was recognised and it was gUtn a
board membership. Mrs. Belle M. Slouton
borough. however, was the member elected,
but she left the convention before lis ad
journment to go to the Pacific toast to
make her home, so Nebraska profiled noth
ing after all by her appointment.
It la safe to say that no more popular nor
representative woman than Mrs. Keefa
could have been chosen to represent Ne
braska on the new board of directors.

HOBSON STATEMENT DENIED
President Never Said that War with
Japan or Any Other Nation
is Probable.
OYSTER BAT. N. Y.. July lO.-Srcre-tary
Loeb this evening called the presl
dnt's attention to Congressman Hob
son's speech, In which Mr. Hobson had
said:
"I want to say to you that not so very
long ago the president of .the United
States said In my presence 'There exists
the greatest probability of a war with
Japan.' " , -, .
When Secretary Loeb returned to the
executive offices tonight the following
official .statement was Issued:
"In reference to the speech of Con
gressman Hobson, the congressman must,
of course, have teen misquoted. The presi
dent not only never made such a re
mark, but never made any remark even
remotely resembling It. All that tho
president has ever said Is that If thero
was a sufficient navy there would 'never
be any possibility' of this country get
ting Into a foreign war."
Secretary Loeb also said that the Scrlb
ner Publishing firm had been given all
the rights for the serial and book form
publication of whatever the president
might write of his experiences on his
proposed hunting trip In Africa. Ques
tioned as to the price to he paid by the
firm for the president's written account
of his trip, the secretary said he had
nothing to give out on the point.

THAW HOME GOING TO RUIN
l,ndharst, the Famous Pittsburg
Mansion, lias Been Aban
doned by Family.
Lyndhurst, the home of the Thaw family
In Pittsburg. Is fast going to ruin. Within
the last few days even the caretakers
have been withdrawn. Curiosity seekers
are not driven away, as they formerly
wre, but may enter the grounds.
Mrs. William Thaw abandoned the man
sion soon after the klllng of Stanford
White by her son Harry, and has not been
In Its since. Everywhere about the house
are Indications of the hurried departure of
Its Inmates. Chairs are overturned, dishes
still remain on the tables in Ihe kitchen
and the pictures are accumulating a cover
ing of dust. The formerly well-trlmmrd
hedge are six feM high, and weeds grow
all over what was once the best kept
lawn In the city of Pittsburg.
One of Alice Thaw's chief delights be-
l fore she married the earl of Yarmouth waa
I her dogs. The kennels are empty now, and
the doves which belonged to Harry Thaw
have leen dlven away by the wild bird.
William Thaw never occupied Lyndhurst.
When It was completed he preferred to
spend most of his time In his old home
d ivvn town while the family lived In th
newly built place.
When Mrs. Thaw Is In Pittsburg she
lives In her new and modest little home,
and has told her friends that she will
novT enter Lyndhurst sgaln.
BODY OF ADMIRAL GOES EAST
Thomas Foatral Party Passes

to Nevruort.
Accompanied by the widow and three
children, the body of Rear Admiral Thomas,
who was in command of the fleet when It
sailed Into the harbor of the Golden Gate a
few weeks ago, went through Omaha lasl
evening enroute to Newport, where the
funeral will be held Sunday or Monday.
The funeral party occupied a special car at
tached to the Union Pacific train which ar
rived at 6:50, and left for Chicago over tha
Milwaukee.
Mrs. Thomas, widow of the admiral; Lieu
tenant S. B. Thomas, his son, and his two
daughters. Mrs. Warncll and Miss Ruth
Thomas, were In the party. Lieutenant
Thomas was chief engineer on the battle
ship Kearsarge, but was ordered to give up
the trip to the orient snd to take the body
of his Illustrious father cast.
"Mother and the girls and I can not yet
realize that father is dead," said lieuten
ant Thomas. "It does not seem possible
that the man who commanded that greatest
of all fleets when It sailed into the harbor
of 'Frisco such a short time ago couM
have passed away, and so soon."
The lieutenant said that the railroad men
had been more than kind to them all along
the road and he was looking forward to he
lng met by army and navy men In Chicago.
No one met the train at Omaha.
Admiral Thomas died In the Hotel Del
monte, at Monterey, Cal.
