207 BURT'S SCHEME THREATENED | Wheelage Basis for Oomputing Bhares of Depot Expense in Question. DFFICIALS OF SOME ROADS WANT CHANGE | Watter Comes Up at Annual Meetin of Union Passenger Station As- soeiation — More Time Changes in Prospect, The 1ife of the wheelage basis of com- puting the respective shares of the expense of operating Unlon station for the different roads using It, a favorite scheme of Presi- dent Burt's, and one which he installed there, s threatened. This state of affairs developed at the annual meeting of the Unlon Passenger Station assoclation, held yesterday in .the office of General Man- ager Dickinson of the Unfon Pacific rallroad at headquarters. Those present were W. H. Btiliwell'of Davenport, la., superintend- ent of the lines of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific rallroad, east of the Mis- sourl river, W. D. Cantillon of Chicago, ssistant general superintendent of the Chi- cago & Northwestern raflway, D. Hardy of Bt. Louls, general manager of the Missour! Pacific rallway, H. B. Earling of Marion, Ia., superintendent of the Chicago and Councll Blufts division of the Chicago, Mil- waukee & St. Paul raflroad All railroads participating in the use of Union station are supposed to be repre- sented at this meeting, but two of them, the Wabash raflroad and the Illinofs Cen- tral 1aflroad, did not have operating de- partment representatives at yesterday's session. The meeting was a brief one. It was after the yearly financial accounts and statements, Including the proportion- ate amount of the expenses which each road had borne, had been canvassed and spproved that the wheelage basis matter came up for discussion. The representa- tives present were about equally divided on the matter and it was determined to let the subject go over without taking any action upon it Should it be determined in the meantime that some definite ex- presalon on the question is demanded or ndvisable, a special meeting of the aeso- clation will be called, otherwise further consideration will go over until the mnext regular meeting. President Burt's wheelage scheme pro- wides that In order to determine how much raliroad shall pay for the use ot Union station, the number of cars run in there shall not be used as a basis for computa- tion, but the number of wheels on these cars and engines. Operating men of some of the different roads favor a different plan. Contemplate Time Changes. Announcements of time changes come thick and fast, though none as yet are so radical as those which have already been put into effect by the Chicago & North- ‘western and Unlon Pacific rallways. H. B. Barling, divison superintendent of the Chi- cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul rallroad at Marion, Ja., was in Omaba Tuesday in con- ference with General Western Agent Nash regarding some changes of the card on the Omaha-Chicago run. The chief change sug- gested le to make No. 2, which now leaves here at 7:15 . half an hour faster into Chicago, taking it out of here at 7:40 a. m. The fast night train, No. 4, will not be changed. Mr. Earling and Mr. Nash are figuring the new schedule for No. 2 on that ‘basis of chan ‘The new Chicago-Colorado speclals lately | inaugurated by the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific rallroad gre from Thursday on to ! have additional service, especlally for - Omaha. There is to be an Omaha sleeper hereafter on No. 42, the special eastbound. This car will be cut out here after its ar- rival at 5 a. m. and pe as late as they wish. comijng in on No. 8 and the change will simply take it out of Denver an hour and & half earller and land it here six hours earlier, as No. '8 does not arrive till 10:56 @&. m. This addition to the eastbound Colo- rado speclal makes it as good for Omaba purposes as the westbound, which has from the first carried an Omaha sleeper from Chicago here. Car Service Meeting. The annual meeting of the Western Car Bervice association will be held next Thurs- day in Omaha. Considerable interest at- taches to this session, as it comes just previous to the change to be made on July 1 from the mileage system of car exchange payment to the per diem system. Buch a radical movement is naturally of vital importance to a car service associa- ‘Hop. At the special meeting of the as- socition held a week ago the question was discusséd\at length and it will doubtless be given mmre attention at the coming annual meeting: . A large attendance is saticipated. J Examining Board Returns, After o journey over the Union Pacific system of more than two months' duration the examining board of that company, which has been Investigating the extent.of the knowledge of trainmen and agents with regard to their duties, returned to Omaha yesterday morning. The board started out shortly after the new rules for such em- ployes were issued, going into effect April 1 last. The men were given a certain lee- way of time for studying up on the new rules, with the certainty that they would be compelled to make good before the board sooper or later. The board has had a wpeclal car on its long trip, fitted up for the occasion like a school room. In one oud s an enclosure, with tables and chairs for the members of the board, the teachers. All the rest of the car is devoted to seats ranged in regular rows for the ocoupancy of the tralnmen, or scholars. Quiszing bas obtalned in this car for two months and ny & rallroader dates his dismissal or ls continuance in the service from -the tme he entered it.

Some Members of Fish and Game Pro- tective Association Oppor to Practice. The Douglas County Fish and Game Pro- tective assoclation is threatened with dis- ruption over the seining of Cut Off lake Some of the members of the assoclation have decided that the Jake should be seined to remove the carp, while other members belleve that no seining should be done. The opposition factions are headed by “Sandy” McDonald and Henry Homan. Mr, Homan says: “Henry McDonald secured permission from' the governor to selne Cut Off lake to remove the carp, which he claims are in- juring the game fish In the lake. He has hired men with a seine and they are now removing the fish. I learn that one day they took out 700 pounds, which was sold on the market, Mr. McDonald recelving half of the receipts and the men with the seine the other half. “Now, in my opinfon; it is not desirable to have the lake eeined. The game fish are doing well enough and will do much better if the seins are kept out of the water. There was a large quantity of spawn placed in the lake this spring and the State Fish commisslon put in a lot of fry of the wall- eyed pike. The seines injure these small fish and the spawn. What carp are there are doing no harm and afford considerable sport for men who like still fishing. There are a large number of these men in the eity who can afford to buy an ordinary hook and line, but who cannot afford to buy reels, casting rods and the numerous things which are required by men who pur- sue game fish. We should not take from these people all chance to get fish and I voice the feeling of a number of *he mem- bers of the association when I say that the action of Mr. McDonald and his friends will not only injure the flsh in the lake at present, but will make enemies for the as- soclation out of men who would assist us in fighting poachers ii they were permitted to fish for the comparatively few carp in the waters.” This is the second attempt made to take the carp from Cut Off lake. Last year other members of the association were granted permission to use seines for that purpose, but after working a day or two someone who desired to preserve the carp for line and rod cut the seines to pleces and the attempt was given up. The announcement that the above great trained animal exhibition will be in this city on June 12-13-14, will prove gratifying news to the combined inhabitants of the town. Everybody walts for and goes to see the Gentry Bros. performances and thelr annual visit to this city is an event calling for a holiday in the schools and an off afternoon with the ladles and children. The best housekeeper in town will pay less attention to tidying up the parlor rather than be late at a Gentry afternoon performance. It is a treat that comes but annually, and occasionally not so often, and those that miss the opportunity this year of witnessing the show will miss the greatest show ever brought to town by the Gentrys. The street parade fs a declded feature this season. The Gentry Bros. have over 300 educated animal actors in their roster this year, every one of which is trained to & marvelous degree of per- fection.

LAKE)|MAKES (MAHA LOOK SMALL[BROWNELL'S COMMENCEMENT (N HICH SCHOOL TEACHERS 'ax Oomparisons with Other Oities Bring Out Btartling Faots. SMALL PORTION OF PROPERTY PAYS TAXES Leas Tran One-Twelfth is the Correct Figure for Omaha, and the Sa) Ratio Applies Thro out Nebrask (Issued Under Authority of the Railroads of Nebraska.) In the table preceding this we gave some detalls regarding the taxable property re- turned in this and contiguous states, show- ing the relative values of other property returned for taxation with that of ralroads. It proves conclusively that railroads have been nassessed for & term of years at a higher relative valuation than any other property in the state. In an article follow- ing this we will explain the reason and how it occurred. The censue of 1900 will soon be com- pleted and it will give a conservative valu tion on which to base the amount of ma- terial wealth owned in the various states, and with those figures at hand we will then be able to determine the proportion of this wealth returned for taxation. For instance, in the state of Missourl, which under the census will show a wealth of much over $1,500 for each person in the state, they in 1900 returned but $323 per capita for taxa- tion, or a little less than one-fifth. The various states are not uniform in regard to the amount they return for taxation, some having regulations by law that govern the matter and others leaving it to the wants of the coumties and the judgment of the county asseseors. In the year 1900 Montana returned $685 per capita and Colorado $402. Montana’s report and Missouri's figures re- turned mark the ordinary extreme in such reports. However, in Nebraska, in 1900, they returned but $161 per capita, and the whole taxable values returned of the state, including railroads, In that year were but $171,747,693. There s no doubt but what thero is nearly $2,000,000,000 of property in the state of Nebraska. While the census figures are not completed, as yet, enough are at hand to show that less than one- tenth of the property valuations were re- turned for taxes. We give below a statement which will show that this difference in amounts re- turned continues on down through the city organizations. Statement of population of various cities west of the Mississipp! river, showing the amount of property returned for taxation in each county where the cities are located and the amount of valuation per capita thus returned: Assessed Values Per Returned.

Denver ... 1133 th .. 128,066 21,745,972 ©2,802 12,982,239 These figures do not indicate, to the mind of a person understanding how tax values are given, that the residents of Omaha and South Omaha are so much poorer than the other cities mentioned, but it does mean that they report less of their property for taxation than do those other places men- tioned. It confirms the statement that we made in our opening circular, that tax- payers generally report for taxation only that part of their property that they are obliged to. All of these figures that are given go to show that all taxable property in this state is returned for less than one-tenth of its value, for taxation. That being the case, it should appear plain to any fair-minded man that the rallroads of Nebraska are paying taxes, and have been paying taxes for the past ten years, on a valuation ap- proximating $50,000 per mile, but no man with the least idea of rallroad values would assume that the rallroads as a whole in the state would be worth approximately that sum. If Councll Bluffs returns one-quarter for taxation, It Denver returns one-quarter for taxa- tion, If\ Kansas City returns one-quarter for taxation, What part of Omaha’s property pays tax? Answer: Less than one-twelfth. (Adv.) COURT FINDS FOR INCUMBENTS Copenharve and Van Sant Lose in South Omaha Election Contests, 169 603 Vinsonhaler has found for the incumbent in the contest of I. J.

We're schoolfellows here together; May our love fail her never, Alma Mater good and true From 100 girlish throats these words were volced to the thrilling music of the famous “Stein Song” chorus at Brownell hall at noon yesterday. The adaptation was the work af Gertrude Graves, herself a Brown- ell girl and a member of the class of '04 Three verses and choruses were sung and & world of sentiment and school patriotism was Infused into them by the sweet, young volces, for this was graduation day and the song was the closing number of the com- mencement exercises. The song over, the school girls trooped slowly out of the as- sembly hall, together. with their many friends and relatives present, not to return again till the fall months of another school year. There was one who will never return as a student, for she was the fair graduate, Miss Olga Lambhofer of Schuyler, Neb., in commemoration of whose departure the ex- ercises were held. The sole representative of the class of '02, the Nebraska girl was the reciplent of more homage and speclal honors than are the usual lot of girls and graduates. For her were the addresses of congratulation, of advice and of parting, for her the benediction of hope and good will. As she entered the hall an alleyway ot little girls stretching a twisted rope of pink roses down each side the alsle guided her steps to the rostrum, and as she left the same floral labyrinth led her to the doors of the bullding and to the carriage standing without in readiness. From the start the exercises were beau- tiful and at every period they were en- hanced by the presence of five score young girls in summery white. The graduate was herselt gowned in white batiste, Intricately tucked and elaborately inlet with Valen- clennes lace. The attendance was very large, every seat being fllled at 10:30. The school marched In singing the processional hymn. a school song. This was followed by the creed and the chanting of the Lord's prayer. After further devotions Bishop Williams, Bishop Worthington, Rev. Davidson and Judge Woolworth spoke in kind and help- ful phrases to the girls and to the graduate. Then to Miss Lambhofer was awarded her diploma by Bishop Willlams and after the closing prayer and benediction the girls sang their Alma Mater strain ae the finale, Visit Courtland Beach this evening.

FOUR INSTRUCTORS ARE TO BE DISMISSED Effort to Drop Three Married Women One Accused of Insubordi- nation Brings About a Deadlock, At the meeting of the Board of Education Monday night in executive session there was a merry time and some of the members now assert that the trouble between the contending interests were so nearly settied that there will be no further difficulty in electing the teachers when the board again convenes next Monday evening. Other members claim that the action of the caucus has no binding effect and promise to thresh the straw over agaln as 500n as opportunity offers. As was known in the proceedings of the board Monday night, the executive session was held on motion of Mr. McIntosh, who decided upon this course whén a motion was made to suspend the rules and elect the three married women mnow in the High school corps. When the executive session was called to order procedings of a rather revolutionary character followed, accord- ing to the statement of a member of tho board, who sald “As 800n as the report of the High school committee was received, recommending that the heads of departments be dropped and Mr. Waterhouse made the head of all de- partments, Mr. McIntosh moved to amend by adding that four teachers now employed on the permanent list in the High school be dispensed with. Then the fun was on. While a majority of the members may have favored dropping four teachers, they could not decide upon the same four. Finally a report from Mr. Waterhouse was received as to the work of one of the teachers under discussion. This record sald that the work of the young woman was good and that she was a bright teacher, but that she showed insubordinate spirit and would not work overtime when that action was deemed necessary by the prificipal. This teacher is onme of the best in the High school and when the report was received it was im- mediately recalled by the older members of the board that she had been a friend of Mr. Levison. It was finally decided, by a vote of elght, to drop her, but no action was taken on the other three names, Row Over Married Women, “It was the married women which caused the executive session. A motion to sus- pend the rules and elect the three prevailed in the caucus, it recelving ten votes. Then the members realized, apparently for the first time, what they had done and a mo- tion was immediately made to reconsider the vote. This was done almost unani- mously and on a reconsideration it was de- cided to suspend the rules and elect two of the married women, but to drop the third one.” After the caucus, or executive session, was over J, J. Smith sald: “We have sst- tled the trouble if the members will stand by the agreement made tonmight, but you cannot always tell what they will do.” According to another member of the board the only agreements reached by the majority were: ‘To drop one of the teachers in the High &chool. To elect two of the married women and drop the third. To abolish the heads of departments. “In order to do this by a majority vote," sald the member, “it will be necessary to secure a report from the High school com- mittee. If the committee does not make the report as desired it will be necessary to have ten votes for the proposed changes and the men who held the majority in the executive session cannot control the re- quired number. It is extremely doubtful it the High school committee will make just such a report, especially with refer- ence to the one teacher who is one of the best in the school. It looks to me like the whole matter will be gone over in open sesslon next Monday.” . Publish your legal notices in The Weekly Bee. Telephone 238.
