ANNUAL MEETING CALLED' FOR TOMIHT Membérs Will Be Asked to Choose Officers and Directors Sane- Some Proposed Changés n Managem It is thought that the annusl mweting of the Omaba Field club, to be held tonight in the Commercial club rooms, will be the occasion of the adoption, of several im- portant changes in the executive polley and management of the organization; it is known that this session will mark the try of the cub upon a year replete | provements. The progress will be in three directions, an eftension of territory, the addition of many mew buildings, and the remodeling of and bettering of the prop- erties already existent, both &s regards grounds and buildings. Though the changes In the official roter resulting from the anfual election will be important, and the contemplated alter- ations of the constitution still more so, what is of most striking and immediate interest to the average Field club mem- and the plans for the new comstruction will be presented by the board of directors, which has had this matter In charge, at tonight's meeting. They are already com- pleted and indicate a radical change ftom o as first mapped out. & determination not to have buildings, as first schemed, but all three In one, making this one elaborate and imposing. A dancing pavilion costing $2,000, a caddy houses at an expense of $500 and new bowling alleys for §1,500 had been imtended, soattered about the grounds. The plans as finally adopted by the directors combine these in ome structure at an expense of $6,500. Expansive Dancing Pavilion. This bullding will be located directly west of the present club house, and will be in many ways & superior edifice. The top floor will be & dancing pavilion, with a floor thirty feet wide by nty long. This will, accommodate 100 couples danc- ing easily, and many more If hecessary. The roofing and open wallwork will be very bandsome with ample provisiona for pro- tection agninst the ther. The pavilion floor will be on & 1 with the” floor of the present club house. Below it will be the bowling - alleys, four in all. The ground slopes awsy rapidly on that side, and the fact will be used to advantage in the construction of the alle: Finally at orie end will be built ample accommoda- tions for cadd d pin boy Meanwhile the present bowling alleys are to be converted into locker rooms, and this will give six times as much locker acéom- modation as the club has bad. Other im- provements will be made in the present house, among them being an enlargement of the kitehen. The veranda will be bullt out to lead directly into the dancing pa- hing is now ready for letting the on this work. It is intended to 11 buflding completed by June 1, when will be 4 grand opening fete. Blab- orate equipment will be provided all por- tions of the bufldings. plans are already under way. forty-acre tract to the west will be the site of the golf course for the earller months, and & force of men was started at work on it last week chopping out the weeds and sowing grass seed. The old course is aleo being reseeded, and by July 1 the entire seventy-five acres will be available, which means a standard length eighteen-hole course. Till then the new forty will be laid out in nime holes for use. Other changes in the grounds will be the abolition of the cricket fleld and the mov- ing of the"base ball diamond further south to the placé ‘where cricket has been played. This is to give room for the moving of the tennis courts south also, as they are ndw crowded too close to the terrace that sep- arates them from the club house. A nmew fence will be put up about the entire prop- erty. Club officers throughout and three mew directors are to be elected tomight. At present John Francis is president, Robert Howe vice president, Philip Potter treas- wrer and Henry Doorly secretary. The board of directors comprises seven men, but M. A. Hall withdrew early last sea- son. The other six are H. 8. Susmann, O. W. Clabaugh, Lysle I. Abbott, Byron Hast- ings, J. B. Reéynolds and Mike Murphy. The terms of Mr. Murphy and Abbott ex- pire, and & new'director will also be chosen to fill Mr. Hall's place, making thrée new ones in all to be named. Changes in Managemaent. The announced purpose “f the meeting 1s 3o consider amendments to the constitu- tion giving the directors power to elect the secretary and changing the time of the an- nual meeting to the first Wednesday in December. It s sald, however, that other important action will be taken in establishing sev- eral new committees, Heretofore there bas been & greens committee, in general charge of the grounds. F. J. Hoel, J. B. Rahm and Q. W. Shields compose it. The attempt will be made to have established a bass ball comaiittee, tennis committee, bowling committee and golf committee, so that each sport will receive its just at- tention #nd no one committee loaded up with more than it can well handle.

The Countty club has put the ban on tha sodding of their grandfather's At the last committes meeting it ‘was declded to make this alteration in the land- scaping and also to set out a number of trees, the whole to cost about $1,000. An- other’ appropriation of $800 is to go for re- decorating the club house and partiady refurnishing it. It is intended, 100, that the entire morth bank shall be sodded and the driveways all laid with gravel. - The greens have Youths Bagage in Pistol Fight with Foll Plans MATTOON, I, March 2.—In a fight be- tween burglars and officers here early this morning Chief of Pollce Lyons received wounds that may cause the loss of an arm by amputation, and two of three youths whotli the police were attempting to eap- ture were wounded, ome of them probably fatally.

PRELIMINARY TO COUNTY ASSESSMENT Real Estate Prominent Members of the Exchange Sugmest Way of Securing Equ able Taxation for County and State Purposes. Prominent members of the Omaba Real Bstate bange endorse the suggestion of The Bes that that orginisation take some action to Impress upon the county assessors of the differént precincts the importance of revising the a#sessment rolls this year and of equalising the assessments between real and personal property. p It the suggestion of one or two of the members i acted upon. there will be & meeting of the asséesors with the exchange before the work of these county representa- tives begins, and at this meeting the as- sessors will be (eld what Is expected of them by the exchange and the most glaring faults of their predecessors will be shown an illustration of what the exchange ob- Jects to In the way of assessments. Some expressions of members of the exchange are here given: John 8. Knox, Viee President of the Ex- change—I think that the position of The Bee is well taken. I think that the assess- ments should be equalised, and for that pur- pose 1 would fequest each assessor of the county to meet with the exchange on some day between now and the time they start to work. At that meeting I would show the assessors what has been done in the way of assessments in some of the precincts, particularly in the matter of corporation assessments, and 1 would discuss the ques- tion especially with those jors who have that class of property within their districts. We would then be certain that the assessors khow where the trouble lies and that they could not plead ignorance FRIENDLY OFFICER CAUGHT American Symipathiser is Made Prin- r by Insurgent Fi in Exciting Event.

Chandler, one of the oldest and for many years among the most prominent of Omaha's citizens, diedyesterday about the noon hour at his home, 2630 Half How- ard street. The fumeral, which will be private, has been arranged for 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, March 4, and is to be from Trinity cathedral, Capitol avenue and Eighteenth street. k Mr. Chandler was for a long time very active in business affiirs, hut some years various essors nominated last fall, but remember »o report having been made. Aa I understand it, there is relatively as much discrimination in the s and county as- sessments between real and personal prop- erty as there i in the city assessments. The assessments which are too low should be raised and the whole matter equalized. 1 do not know how this is going to be done, but some way should be devised. George H. Payne—I certainly belleve that the exchange should take the matter up. We could have a meeting with the assessors and it would probably do much good. It certalnly could do no harm. D. V. Sholes—I belleve that matter should be attended to on election day and none but competent and honest men chosen to the office, People cannot plead ignorance as to the character of asdessors, as the district from which they are elected is so small that & man can easlly learn the kind of men that have been nominated. If we elect g00d assessors there would be no reason for instructing them in their dutied. The pres- ent assessors may all be honest and compe- tent men;, but it would do no harm to meet and talk matters over. ago his sight falled him and alnce then he has been in close retirement at his home, attended by his dsughters, Mre.

Some may command a good price and some give themselves away for a song. I have known such cases. Every man 4s at heart a tax dodger. He cannot hide his real estate, and many who pay large sums as tax upon real estate, know- ing that they are paying more than they should under a Jlst system of taxation, be- lieve that they aré only recovering some ot their own money when they pay too little upon their personal property. Others, own- ing no real estate, ses the figures snd say that In proportion their personal property should be assessed at a certain amount, and so the unjust assessment is continued.

HUGO'S HOME IS A MUSEUM Famous Poet's 0ld Residence, Place Des Vosges, Transformed. BECOMES PROPERTY OF CITY OF PARIS Cente: H y Anniversary of Vietor Birth fs Carrfed Omt at te t of Three Hundred Franes. PARIS, March 2.—The fetes in commem- oration of the centenary of Victor Hugo's birth terminated today with the ceremony of handing over to the city of Paris to serve as a Victor Hugo museum, the house in which he for some time lived, in the Place Des Vosges, The exercises, which took place within the picturesque Place Des Vosges, with its arcade running beneath the brick house on each of its four sides, were very hap- plly concelved and a vast crowd gathered to witness the proceedings. A plaster cast of Victor Hugo, taken from “The Dream of the Poet, y the sculptor Barreau, stood on a podestal facing Vietor Hugo's situated on the corner of the square. It represents the poet sitting on & rock, draped in antique fashion, and with & lyre at his feet. Overlooking the monument and facing the house were erected tribunes for the sen- ators, deputies and other distingulshed guests of the municipality which organized the fote and defrayed the expenses, the municipal council having voted an appro- priation of 330,000 francs to carry out the centenary festivities. Formation of Parade. The official procession formed at the hotel De Ville shortly before 5 o'clock and pro- ceded to the Place Des Vosges. On the arrival of the procession the bands played the ‘Marseillals was followed by the rendering of Victor Hugo's hymn, “Coux qui sont morts pour la patrio,” set to music by Berlios, by a cholr_of 1,200 voices and the band of the Republican guards. The vice president of the municipality of Paris presided at the ceremonies and read an eulogy of Victor Hugo by M. Dus- set, president of the municipal eouncil, who was absent on account of the death of his father. A ch was alfo made by the prefect of the Seine. The house was handed over to the city of Paris and formally accepted by that body. The concert was then resumed, a number of pleces based on Victor Hugo's ' works belng heard, the hymn “Patrie” to a simple but effective alr composed by Beethoven. Twelve Hundred Children. The prettiest item in the exercises then took place in the defiling past the statue of Vietor Hugo of 1,300 school children two by two, the little ones leading and the elder puplls coming last.
