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.

ROCHESTER. N. T Aug. . 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.

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

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."

"After I left my office this afternoon,"
he said, "and before I took the train for
Omaha I was Informed that a protest of

It and therefore cannot say anything about
It."
