"The nation is concerned In this work, not only-bemuse; of the resulting Internal dvelupinent,'' but also 'because of the Im provement In citizenship and In the liabil ity of American Institutions."

"The fact that the national government has deemed It wise to take tip the matter has been one of the strongest arguments appealing to capital ists to do likewise. Private Capital Non-Competing. "There is no competition as between na tional and private funds, but rather an at tempt at all times on the part of the gov ernment stimulate legitimate enterprise through obtaining facts upon which Invest ments might be 'safely made, and to avoid taking up such work as could be handled euccesnftilly by others.

Storage of flood waters had been created and In actual use to the extent of 1.0U0 000 acre-feet. Canals and ditches were ready for use of an aggregate length of more than 8,000 miles, a distance equal to that aeross the United States. Fifty-eight tunnels had been built of a length of 86,000 feet Many -thousands of smaller struc tures, such as headgales, flumes.' bridges. turnouts, etc., were completed, 1,000 miles of telephone In operation, and yardages of earth moved comparable to that handled In the same time at Panama. ' Opportunities for Homes. "More than all this showing of material progress are the excellent results accom plished In carrying out the purpose of the act, namely, the making of opportunities for homes. The wise provision of the law restricting acreage has been enforced, and there Is a well marked beneficial result in the subdivision of large areas of Irrigable land and the placing of this In the hands of men competent to successful! Cultivate the soil and make permanent homes. The speculative element has been largely absent.- , "The works new In hand will require all of the reclamation fund for several years. Each large work Is completed to a point where it has made possible hundreds of homes, and where returns are oomtng to the fund, but It has numerous ramifica tions, or divisions, each of which requires considerable more money for completion. There is no lack of work when these are finished. The opportunities for further conservation of the waste, waters are al most unlimited, especially in localities where attempts have been made on a small scale and complications of such nature have eristn, especially those of vested rights, that successful action can be taken only by following up the matter with in finite tact and patience, coupled with the resources of the reclamation fund. "Of course, there Is always another side to every large problem. It is not conceiva ble that the reclamation act could be wholly perfect or. -that Its administration could be without flaw. The very bene fits brought about by the act have been a source of criticism. The requirement of residence on the ,land or in the neighbor hood, la freely criticised as Involving un necessary harden 'u, and yet . this Is one of the requirements which the majority of congress considered g being an essen tial condition for the advancement of fed eral funds. Denies Work la Slow. "The slowness of the work is also crit icised, and It has come to be a matter of general remark that the .. government Is always slow.. This, like, many truisms, is a statement which doe -net stand close analysis. There are very few corporations which have accomplished with the funds available as much, as has been carried on by .the reclamation 'serrvioe. The successful handling of the reclama tion fund probably requires as much, if not more, skill and patience than in any Industrial enterprise, ... On the one hand are the settlers clamoring for immediate results; on the other hand are engineer ing problems and complications of vested rights to water and difficult ilghis-of way, with defective land titles, all of which must be patiuntly 'worked out undur very exacting regulations. The federal employe Is regarded by all as a proper target, when Joined with this Is the fact that the man in control of the ditch Is as a matter of course regarded py. every one as responsible for every evil In the community, and you have a combination which requires almost unlimited skill, tact and aelf-contrel. "The reclamation act is not a perfect document, but, like ' most ' acta of con gress, Is the result of compromise of many conflicting Ideas, Wherever it may be defective, these defects can only be rem edied In one way, nauiely, by congress and not by any official. It Is worse than use leas, therefore, to attempt to remedy these defects, if they exUt, through criticism of the methods adopted by the offk-lals in direct charge. Any needed improvements should be brought U the attention fit the law-making body and particularly to the committees on irrigation of the senate and house, each of which is seeking for sug gestions and intelligent advice from prac tical men." (From a Staff Correspondent LINCOLN, Aug. 9 (Special.) A delega tion of Omaha cltliens. business and pro fessional men appeared before the 8tate Board of. Equalisation today, along with delegations from other counties, to protest against an Increase In the assessment of property as returned by the county board. The board proposed to Increase merchan dise and banking stock In Douglas county and the discussion was on these two classes of property. In the matter of merchandise It was shown by the speaker, that while Omaha merchandise had been de-reased compared with the returns of last year, there was a reason for this. It was ex plained that the retail merchants of Omaha were not compelled to carry extensive stocks because at short notice they could replenish their stocks from the wholesale houses. Mr. Phriver, county assessor, explained the decrease' by saying that had the Brnn dels and Hayden stores been assessed at the same figures as last year there would have been no decrease. An expert had gone through these establishments and had reported the warehouse of the Hayden's practically empty, as was the Brandeis warehouse. A year ago these firms had an Immense amount of goods on hand which they have not this year. The retire ment of one member of the Hayden store had resulted in a considerable reduction In the valuation of this firm's property. Representatives of the Jobbers, in ex planation of the Increase of the stocks In the state, compared with a decrease in Douglas county, said this was due to the Increased number of stores established and the fact that many of the stores In coun try towns "were compelled to carry large stocks, because they could not replenish as easily as the Omaha stores. Taxes In Other Cities. , The state board was asked to use good Judgment and discretion In making up the grand assessment roll and while Omaha merchants had no objection to paying their fair share of the taxes of the state they did not want to have their valuations so high that It would be Impossible for them to compete wlth Kansas City, St. Joseph and Sioux City. The tax paid by some of the largo wholesale houses of those cities were read and compared with the big firms of Omaha to show that Omaha firms paid mre taxes than did the people with whom they were brough In competi tion. The reduction In the value of the bank stockes the delegation thought was Justi fied because everything the bank had was in ' plain eight and the assessors could easily get at it. Reductions should be al lowed, the speakers insisted, for unearned Interest and for bad loans. The delegation got to Lincoln shortly be fore noon and the hearing was put off until 1:30, when the Jobbers mad. their protests. Then the board adjourned while the gov ernor listened to an application for a re quisition, following which the bankers had their Inning, several other counties being heard before and after the Omaha delega tion. " The following were' here from Omaha: Charles Pickens ' of I'axton-Gallagher, K. P." Berryman " of Leo Glass-A'ndreson, "J. E. Baum of the Bennett company, Mr. Bur gess of the M. K. Smith company, W. C. Wright of Wright and Wllhelmy, T. C. Byrne of the Byrne-Hammer company, Mr. Baxter of the Kllpatrlck company, W. H. Brady of McCord-Brady, County Assessor' Shrlver and Deputy Counsman, Commis sioners Fred Brunlng and Pat Trainor. The bankers were represented by C. F. Me Orew, E. L. Davis, Luther Drake, W. E. Ithondes and F. II. Denham. Protests, from Other Counties. Knox county sent down Henry Schwarts, chairman, and J. O. Weber, member of the county board, to pro ten against the proposed Increase In the value of horses and mules. These men filed a statement from the county assessor that Knox county hns a lot bf Indian ponies within its bor ders which are worth, on the market, about f'iO each, and these low-priced ani mals had kept down the average. From Butler county came A. V. Thomas, county attorney; IkJ. J. Holland, county clerk; J. L. Svboda, Nick Meysenburg and Fred Judevine, members of the county board, and Ed Rech, county attorney. They protested against an Increase in horses and mules. Dodge county objected to the proposed In crease on hornet, and mules, because. Us spokesmen said, from the hill country the hoisca were not very valuable, and this prevented a very high average. J, A. Dona hue, J. H. Matthews and Jorgen Lorsen represented Dodge. Richardson and Nemaha counties, pre sented a knotty question for the board to pass -upon. Charles Mason, living In Rich ardson county, was declared an Incompetent and the court appointed Arthur Allen of Nemaha county his guardian. The guardian inquired where to list the personal property. This guardian lived In Nemaha county and Ward In Richardson. Both counties clatnieU the property for taxation purposes, Nemaha on the ground that the law provides that where the guardian lives there should b listed the personal property. J. H. Lam bert, E. B. (juackenbush, C. E. Blessing, A. E. Qantt, Arthur Allen and N. B. Judd, were here to represent the contending counties. The' property involved amounts to almost f 10, 000.

That Anna Schumacher, the 17-year-old girl, whose body was found this morning, crudely burled In Holy Sepulcher cemetery, was choked and beaten to death after being assaulted, la the conclusion based on the nutopsy held today by Coroner Henry ICIelndlenst, but many of the circumstance of the crime, even to the exact plaoe where l( fcas committed, can still be only guessed at. Although the authorities believe they have a clue a broken spade found near the scene of the deed the Identity of the murderer Is a matter of speculation. The trange actions of a man discovered at the scene of the murder by an employe of the cemetery late today directed suspicion to ward him, and for a time gave promise that an arrest would be made, but the man escaped and It Is not known who he was. A description of the man was given to the police. For a time suspicion was directed toward an employe of St. Bernard's seminary, which Is near the cemetery, but the seminary au thorities disposed of this in a statement that this suspect had been III at home for three days. Crime Was Rratal On. The autopsy emphasizes the brutality of the crime. The body was In a pitiable con ditionthe head, face, chest, arms and hands were covered witn bruises and scratches; the bone that supports the tongue was fractured when the assailant choked his victim; the body was covered with blood, and the hair was full of dirt and leaves, Indicating that the body was dragged some distance, probably by the feet. Part of the clothing had been removed. It would seem that the girl, who was of vigorous physique, made a desperate strug gle to save herself. The condition of the body makes it necessary that burial shall be tomorrow. To Hold Inqae.t Today. The inquest Into the death will begin to morrow morning. In the meantime the city, county and town authorities are bend ing every effort to apprehend the murderer. Miss Schumacher left her home Saturday morning to place flowers In the family cemetery, which Is that of the Catholic church, and when she did not return at night her family became greatly alarmed. A search was Instituted, which was kept up until the finding of her body today by two officers, about 100 feet outside of tne cemetery llmlfs. n 1517 FARNAM ST. Choice o!

Jour nal of October 19 and see the expression on Potts' face," she suggests to Swarls, and adds: "Adams, Utley and Osterman's faces will be. enough tu convict them,' You wllj.see that. 'Jlmmle'. (a the smallest In this class, and yet.lr took three big men to do him to death. Shearer looks like an ex-cnnvlct. Willing turns Jn the picture a Utile from 'Jlmmle' showing they were not on good terms." On the cross-examination Mr. Birney In sisted that Mrs. Sutton explain why she made these derogatory comments. She retorted that she could express an opinion about Potts' face without Intending to aiean that everyone criticised was im plicated In her son's death. She Insisted that the contents of her letters to Swartx had been arrived at through reading the eatlmony and a sense of deduction and ttiat she still held to her original belief. Her Love for Her Son. "The love between 'Jlmmle' and myself," continued the mother In this letter to Swartz, "was the greatest that could ex ist between two persons. If 'Jlmmle' met w(th an accident I felt It at once. Well, the night those beasts were laying their plans for 'Jlmmle' an awful fear came over me and my two daughters; we could not talk, and each kept away from the other for fear of betraying our feelings. The next day Mr. Sutton came In and asked If I eould stand some awful news. He tpld me that 'Jlmmle' was reported to have killed himself. "Oh, Ood, Mr. Swarts," the writer ex claims, "If 'Jlmmle' had not spoken to me I would have died. Then 'Jlmmle' came up to me and said: 'Mother, dear, don't you believe it, I never killed myself. Adams killed me; they beat me to death and then Adams shot me to hide the crime He told me how they laid a trap for htm; how he walked into It; how Utley grabbed him to pull him out of the automobile; how they held him and Osterman beat him, about his forehead being broken, his teeth knocked out and the lump under his Jaw, and how, when he was lying oa the ground some one kicked him in the side and smashed his watch. He begged me not to die. but to live and clear his name. Well, after three weeks, I proved some things he told me were true, and after repeatedly demanding the evidence for over a month I got it and within the last month I have proven everything he told me Nothing could separate 'Jlmmle' from me. not even death, and Adams, Utley, Potts and Osterman will never know a moment's rest on earth. Why should they?" Satisfied In Her Ons Mind. Mr. Birney demanded to know upon what evidence Mrs. button based the fore going accusation. She replied that the tee t'lmony to her mind proved It, together with certain letters that she had in her possession. She asked Swarts to make a confidant of no one unlesa he was sure to whom he spoke, saying that she did not want any one to suspect anything until she was ready. She criticised the fact that the officers, following the tragedy, had been despatched to different posts. "I cannot understand why everyone can not sea they are trying to hide the real crime and protect those men. If we can not get Justice through the courts, every newspaper In the United States shall have these facts as we have them, and then see what the opinion of the world will be."
