(Prom a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Aug. It (Ppeolal.) After
wrestling with reductions In land values
made by county arsesftors or boards and
rewrertltnB- with the proposition of pro
posed raises, the stats board of equaliza
tion adjourned yesterday and will meet
again next Wednesday. By that time It
is thought that excitement over the pri
mary will have subsided so that th
members can pay attention to the mat
ters In hand without letting: their minds
drift off to the festive voter.
The, countyV oard . of Nance county
thought to lake a short cut to a reduc
tion in that county and made a 10 per
cent reduction flat on all lands. This is
prohibited by law as the statute requires
the boards of counties to make equali
zation of values by comparison In the
different precincts. The reason Klven for
the. reduction by the county clerk, V. l.
Jonee, was that the county hil all the
money it needed In al llts funds and did
not need a high valuation. This action
deprives the stat of its just share of
taxes and in oniHuenee the board will
increase land values in Nance 15 per
cent
Dundy county made mlstke ft''t
Us assessment and filed a new on,
which increases the assess J a:ug T
lands from $4.62 tp 6. The board will
take, further action on the other counties
at Ha next meeting.
Last Year's Wheat Imp.
To what extent Nebraska suffered by
reason of the partial failure, and in some
parta of the state, the total failure of
the wheat crop last year. Is evidenced by
the reports of the assessors aa sent In to
the secretary of the state board of as
sessment. The number of bushels reported to the
assessor In WIS was shown to be 6.S50.S14
bushels on hand April 1. WIS. The report
this year shows but 2,780.f74 bushels re
ported when the assessors mad their
rounds. Indicating that there will be a
great deal of a demand for the 1914 crop
and that much of It will be needed to
fill the shortage.
Bdffertom Before Normal.
Assistant Attorney General Frank
Edgerton will go to Fremont tomorrow;
where he will deliver the commencement

well satisfied with the new freight rates

make up the added freight charges from

paid to Omaha, therefore putting the two
cities on a nearly equality basis.

Notary Is Accused .
of Wrongful -Acts
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOI.N. Aug. 11. (Special.) W. I
Selby has filed complaint In the office
of Governor Morehead for the removal
from office as notary -public of John;H.
Nagel of Dickins, In Lincoln county.
The charge against, Nagel Is that he
took an acknowledgement of Mrs. Jane C.
Blakely of Hastings to a deed conveying
4o9 acres of land near Picking when Mrs.
Blakely was not present and. It Is claimed,
knew nothing of the matter. The land
was sold to E. J. Moore of Guide. Rock
for $5,000 and the purchase price paid to
the agent. It Is alleged that Mrs. Blake
ley had not received the money and that
Moore did not know until the matter was
investigated that the deed was not good.
Mr. .Selby says that a suit Is now
pending In the district court of Lincoln
county for the annulment of the deed
and that the agent who made the deal
Is trying to make a settlement with Mrs.
Blakeley.
Mr. Helby stated that for the last month
he has been endeavoring to get Governor
Morehead to appoint a commission to In
vestigate this case, but up to date the
governor hss refused to act, although It
is clearly, his duty to do so under the
ftatute.

Germany Asks for
Permit to Send Code
Messages by Wireless
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12. Haniel von
Halmhausen, charge of the German em
bassy, conferred with Secretary Bryan
today on wireless and cable communica
tion between American and Europe. .The
charge had previously requested that the
State depsrtment permit code' messages
to be exchanged directly between the
United States and Germany, which are
now barred by the military censors In
England, through which country all cable
messages must pass to resell Germany.
The charge also was desirous that the
German owned wireless ststion - at Say
ville. L. I., and Tuckerton, N. J., be per
mitted to work with Germany, free from
censorship, thereby placing 6ermany on
equality with England and France, which
are using their cables without restric
tions for transatlantic correspondence. A
disposition was shown at the tate de
partment to justify the apparent discrim
ination against the wireless by. an article
in The Hague convention, which provides
that such methods of communication' may
be barred where the stations were erected
for purely military purposes on neutral
territory snd transact no commercial
business.. The German contention is that
the prohibition does not apply for the
reason that the stations In question have
been doing commercial business.
Secretary Bryan promised Charge Halm
hauuen that he would take the subject
up with President Wilson as soon ss pos
sible and the charge returned to the sum
mer embassy at Newport to await his
answer.
Bank of England j
Has Plan to Avoid
Shipments of Gold
LONIHJX. Aug. li-(12:05 p. in -Th
Bank of Engrlsnd Is not to open a branch
st Ottawa. Canada, as hsd been reported.
It Is understood that the $10,000,000 of
specie whl-n made the voyage almost
across the Atlantic and back on board
the Kron Frlnxrssln Cecllle Is to be sent
to Ottawa. The Bank of England will
make payments In London agxlnst this
snd other gold, which will bo deposited
with the Canadian minister of finance.
The effect of the arrangement will b
to provide v means of remittance from
North America to l.ondol without the
necessity of shipping gold acr.i the At
lantic. The plan Is said lo be capable of
extension to other places oultidc the
region which ! under contr-i or might
come under control of an enemy.
NEW YORK. Au. 12. It Is denied in
financial circles here that the entire
amount of the $10.ofln.OOO and more gold
taken from the Kronpriniessln Ceclllo
is to be sent to Ottawa. J. 1. Morgan
& Co., It la understood, have recently
consigned $1,000,000 gold to the Canadlun
capital, hut other banks Interested In
the Kronpiinsessln Ceclllw shipment, re
cently returned here, expressed tho
opinion that only a small part of that
sum will be shipped across the border.
Them were furthed Indications In New
York today thst any movement looking
to large shipments of gold to Canada,
whether for the Bank of England or for
any other purpose, will be unpopular In
banking circles. New York bankers
deem It of the highest Importance that
gold bo held here regardlesa of foreign
obligations. Thero are other wevs, it
whs pointed out, of .meeting dobts In
I -onion, and these, It was argued, should
bo resorted to. '
Money rates and foreign exchange
were quotably easier .today, but actu
ally without material change. All-time
rates . continued on a 6 to 8 per rent
basis, witli some offerings at the tower
figure. Exchange brokers were doinr a
little more business with London, but
nothing like a general movement In that
direction Is probablu for some time.-
