THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, JULY 1, 1902 BANK ASSESSMENT DELAYED Mr. Kountze Has Plan Which the Board is Not Ready to Adopt. BANK AND ASSESSORS' VALUES DIFFER ed rm Property and Proposition Adv: WNaluation on ¥ Make Showing Hefore State Board. to Raise the The sesslon of the County Board of FEqualization with several bankers of ‘Omaha late Monday afternoon ended with- out a vote being taken to fix the assessed valuation of the banks. Herman Kountze president of the First National, sought to have the board mccept a statement of his bank not made out in accordance with the board’s resolution and the arguments on the proposition took the time until 6 o'clock, when the board adjourned for the day, informing the bankers that it would not fix the assessment without first noti- fying them. Wholesale Firms Raised. Earlier in the afternoon the board raised the assessors’ returns on several whole- sale Houses, as follows: Ribble Paper com- pany, from $1,500 to $2,000; Collins & Mor- rison, from $2,600 to $2,7:0; Marks Bros., from $7,000 to §$7,500; Interstate Rubber company, from $5,265 to $14,500; Bruns. wicke-Balke-Collender, from $3,000 to €10,000; A. Hospe, from $1,055 to $2,500; Collins Plano company, reduced from $1,100 to $850; Porter, Ryerson & Hoobler, raised from $1,160 to $3.° Gate City Hat come pany, from $2,630 to $4,000. Those who ap~ peared but whose assessment was left as it was were: The Richardson Drug com- pany, $16,600; ller & Co., $7.265; Western |Newspaper Unlon, $3,680. The Relichen- {berg-Smith and E. A. Dayton Jjewelry firms were instructed to appear today with thelir books. Terminal Company Cited. There was flled with the board a com- plaint by the tax <ommittee against the Omaha Bridge and Terminal company as- sessment and Attorney Mclntosh hinted of $100,000 as the possible assessment figure, declaring that would not be too high, as the company's property properly includes the Tllinols Central raflroad to the extent of furnishing its terminal. The bank controversy was precipltated, 40 a certain extent, by the attitude of Henry W. Yates, president of the Nebraska National, who rebels this year against longer tolerance of an alleged discriminat- ing method that resulted last year in his bank paying a tax of $13 per share, while the First National bank paid but $6 per pbare. Mr. Kountse's Plan, This year Mr. Kountze asked to be per- mitted to do as he did last year and after deducting premlums pald from the total of capital, surplus and undivided profits, take one-sixth the total fair value so repre- gented and from it deduct the assessor's roturn on realty, which is supposed to be 16 per cent of the actual value. This was not in accordance with the re- quest of the board and the commissioners could not accede. Their resolution had required that the realty of the banks be deducted from the total at its full value s shown on each bank's books. The whole controversy hipged on the fact that the First National bank is carrying its realty at less than six times the return of the essor. In fact, Mr. Kountze let drop the remark that as rated by the bank it to- tals $156,365.94. This statement, if cor- rectly understood by the board, makes it wn easy task to show where the county aould lose if the board rescinded its res- olution and adopted Mr. Kountze's plan. May Raise Farm Values. Farm owners of Douglas county may Fecelve attention from the Board of %qualization that will mean a raise in the assesed valuation of their holdings. Attorney McIntosh sald to the board yesterday: “Permit me to call your Attention to the fact that the county pre- clncts should be raised in assessment that the county may make a uniform showing when it goes before the State Board of Equalization. That board will necessarily consider the realty valuations of the different counties and if we show that you have made an effort to get valuations 4n general to somewhere near the right figure it will be that much easler to get the state body to properly recognize the difference between this county and those others that are assessing at one-tenth the actual value or similarly low per cents. The state cannot in fairness expect Doug- Jas county to permit itself, assessed at one- #ixth fair value, to stand a classification with other counties assessing on the lower basis." The only considerable raise made by the board yesterday was on the personal as- sessment of two department stores. Hay- den Bros. had been cited to appear with their books gnd stand trial, but Willlam Hayden told the board that rather than enter Into a prolonged controversy of that kind his firm would stand an assessment of $40,000, which is the same as that of M. E. Bmith & Co., a leading wholesale house. The board approved the figure. Last year the essment was $20,000 and the o8- sor's return this year was $22,790. Brandels & Sons of the Boston Store an- mounced a willingness to stand a raise in proportion to that of the Haydens and their mssessment was accordingly made $31,000. Last year it was §16,000 and the assessor's Feturn this year was $17,750. e ——— On July 4 the Erle Rallroad will run a special thirty-day excursion to Chautauqua Lake.

This innovation holds extraordinary interest for all the lines interested, as well as a few others in different sections that have not adopted the system, but whose officials are watching the movement with the ut- most concern, This important improvement sets aside the mileage charging and collecting sys- tem, which was in vogue for so long. It is considered one of the greatest revolu- tions In the methods of frelght affairs that has been made in recent years. The fact that it goes into effect in the west with a unanimous sentiment back of it in- sures some measure of success for it Two hundred members in the American Rallway association, representing the own- ership of about 1,570,000 freight cars have gone into this agreement. It Is sald, how- ever, that one important western line still objects to the plan. For one year at least the great majority of the raliroads of the entire country wiil give the per dlem plan a fair trial. It wiil devolve upon the car accountants and car service officers to figure out the infinite number of details which will develop and to provide for the numerous difficulties foreseen and those not foreseen. The re- form is made in the intcrest of economy, the basis of most all such movements in raliroad affairs. It is clalmed for it that it will reduce the complication and cost of handling freight and increase the freight earning capacity of the raflroads. With the operating and trafic managers in hearty co-operation with the car service officers and accountant clerks, it is belleved that all the obstacles to be encountered can be met and vanquished and the new method made a most profitable one within the one year allotted for the test of its practicability.

The prosperous people of Omaha paid about $400,000 In ity taxes yesterday, most of which were for the current yea some for past years. On the same day and the one preceding it in 1901 they paid $527,000—and that has stood as high-water mark until the mighty inflow of yesterday, which completely eclipses all previous days at the treasurer's office. Beginning today all taxes become delin- quent and must bear penalty interest of 1 per cent per month, in advance. It is the policy of Treasurer A. H. Hennings to Keep as clean a board as is practical and for that reason he generaled fourteen em- ployes from 7 o'clock last evening until midnight and then left four others to work until 7 o'qlock this morning. He sal “I belleve that our June collections of this year will total $100,000 more than our collections for the same month in 1901, which were $745,000—and this notwith- anding that the total product of the levy of 30 mills this year is only $1,128,484.95, which is $108,237.37 lesa than the $1,236,- 722.32 produced by the 34-mill levy of 1901. “For the last three years we have cleaned up warrants through July and been able to pay cash for them for some months afterward instead of having to reglster them and allow them to draw their 7 per cent per annum interest. Surely the sav- ing 1s justification of the policy. In a day or two I will have a more detalled state- ‘ment to give out.

Amid the many efforts put forth to stimu- late financial aid for the Auditorium Fund, that of W. R. Bennett Co. today promises to be one of the most interesting. This firm are never behind in responding to the claims of citizenship and we have no doubt the people of Omaha will turn out en-masse and throng their magnificent store in thelir eagerness to be among the winners of Au- ditorium stock tickets. W. R. Bennett Co. have shown a most magnanimous spirit and an example worthy of all pralse in being the very first to inaugurate a free distribu- tion of these tickets. We sincerely hope that they will be gratified to the extent at least of seeing their house thronged from basement to roof. Shampooing and hairdressing, 2d¢, atthe Bathery, 216-220 Bee bullding. Tel., 1716, MRS. SIMET USES GUN AGAIN This Time She Directs Shot at Her- aelf, but It Does Little Work, Mrs. Kate Simet, who already has quite a reputation as & gun fighter, had another occasion to use her 38-caliber revolver last evening, but this time she aimed the shots at herself. Because Kate's husband, re- turning from labor, found her under the influence of liquor and chided her; then did Kate climb wildly to the upper chamber and take a shot at herself. But it was only the bloeps of her left arm which were plerced. However, taking into consider: tion the marksmanship displayed on a former occasion, this was evidently an at- tempt at suicide. Mr. Simet managed to dlsarm his wife and eent for Dr. J. A. Wil- liame. The Simets live with their two chil- dren in a little story and a half cottage at 116 Hickory street. Mrs. Simet first became known through her determined stand against one George Baker on April 20, when she took nine shots at the man without hitting him once.

HAS WOMAN AND COMPANION ARRESTED Charges Former Friend and Ne bor with Alienating Wife's Af- fections and Persuading Her to Leave Home, Edwin A. Cooper of Little Falls, Minn., after searching in four etates for his wife, Ella W. Cooper, whom he charges with run- ning away with Henry Schlensener, found her with the man here and yesterday morn ing in police court told his side of the wrecking of his home and the chase after the couple. The parties in the case all live in Little Falls, where Schlensener was the proprietor of a hardware business and had consider- able of this world's goods. According to Cooper's testimony Schlensener advanced him money last January to go to Montana to locate a claim. He went and remained two weeks, and, finding that it was not the proper time to locate, returned to Little Falls. When he got back it was to find his house deserted and his wife and daugh- ter gone. A few days later, by finding a letter writ- ten to his wite, which she had left in her deserted home, Cooper learned that she was in Corning, N. Y. He went there and learned that it was Schlensener who had persuaded his wife to leave. In a conversation with his wife, he said, she told him that during his absence Schlen- sener had Induced her to go into a wine room where there were other men and women and that after drinking two glasses of wine she knew nothing until late in the evening. She asked Cooper to forgive her and the two were again united. Disappears Second Time. After several days of thelr second honeymoon Mrs. Cooper again disappeared Again Cooper got trace of her through her negligence in not destroying notes trom Schlensener. Cooper found a tele- gram to his wife which sald, “Meet me in Chicago." Cooper hastened thers and appealed to the police and Detective Monear was as- signed to the case. After several weeks' search Monear learned that the couple had gone to Omaha. In the meantime the citizens of Little Falls had become sympathetic and after Schlensener had made arrangements to sell his property there, they made up a purse to pay Cooper's way to Omaha and his expenses while here. He and Monear came here June 7. Some time later Cooper saw his wife and Schlensener riding bicycles on Sixteenth street. They were located at a rooming house on North Sixteenth street. Before an arrest could be made they again disappeared. Friday the detective again located them in a house near Twentieth and Castellar streets. The watched the house and saw Schlensener and Mrs. Cooper appear at an open window and caress each other. Cooper went to the police judge and made a com- plaint and Sergeant Whalen made the ar- rest. During her travels Mrs. Cooper kept her little daughter with her and at the time the arrest was made the little one was playing in the yard. Several letters which had been written by Sohlensener to Mrs. Cooper, in which he called her his ““heart’s blood,” “honey bee’ and used many endearing terms, were intro- duced as evidence, Mrs. Cooper was put on the stand and denled the material part of her husband's testimony. She came to Omaha, she sald, to act as Schleneener’s housekeeper for $5 a week. Befora she had completed her testimeny the court adjourned until Tues- day morning. Cooper has begun suit for damages against Schlensener for $20,000 for allenating his wite's affections. Cooper testified that Schlensener has a wife in Min- nesota. | On the golf links a drink of Cook's Im- perial Extra Dry Champagne will improve your playing wonderfully. Health Resorts and Attractions. There s no reglon in America richer in mineral 6prings than Colorado, while throughout the State there are pleasure resorts and splendid places of attraction of varlous kinds in great numbers. It bas been truly said that all of Colorado is & health resort, and this statement fs sustained by the most eminent physicians of the country. What with its beautiful cities on the plains. its gorgeous moun- tain peaks and lovely valleys, its awful canons and their rushing torrents, its forest and streams, its broad green parks and charming crystal lakes amid the mountains, what more could nature provide or man desire for his welfare or his delights. Not only the health-giving mineral and thermal springs which gush spontaneously from the mountain sides fnvite the invalid and the weary, but in all the rest of these charms of nature is found a panacea for the ills and cares of body and mind diseased. To enable persons to reach Colorado re- sorts, the Union Pacific has placed in effect during the summer months Very Low Rates and splendid train service, running three trains dally to Denver.

DUSKY QUEEN Lilluokalant Has Little to Say as She Passes Through Omaha. IS RETICENT Liluokallni, former queen of the Hawlian islands, passed through Omaha yesterday morning with her party on her way from the enst to Honolulu. In the party, beside the ex-soverelgn, were these: Jo- seph Aea, private secretary to the queen; John Amokn and Maila Heleluhl. “We are on our return home after a very pleasant trip through the eastern part of the United States,” sald the venerable ex-ruler of the Hawall, to a reporter for The Bee, speaking through her Interpreter. Her interpreter sald she could mot talk English fluently, and at any rate preferred to communicate through some one else. On such occasions, however, the queen is exceedingly reticent, therefore all her in- terviews have a merit of brevity to com- mand them. Espectally was this the case yesterday. After assuring her visitor that she was not in this country on busi- ness, had done or tried to do nothing whatever about any crown lands while at Washington, ,and was merely over on a pleasure trip, she betook herself to her state room and delgned no more to look upon the newspaper man, except to open the state room door wide enough once to peep and see it the Derson had gone. Not realizing the fruition of her hopes sho slammed the door and remained in her room until the overland train bore her out of the eity. “The queen is in excellent health,” said her secretary, “and she has enjoyed her visit in the United States immensely. “No, I cannot speak as to her future course or what her plans will be. She wants nothing sald upon that subject now. We are most interested at present In get- ting back home and will start after a week's visit in San Francisco.

Oliver Rakes of Platismouth came to Omaba yesterday and was not robbed Oliver refused an invitation to bite at the padlock game and is now recelving the congratulations of the police, to whom he gave a good description of the four men who attempted to work him. Oliver met the men at Union station soon after he came to town and they invited him to go with them to see the sights. Oliver went. When under the Tenth street viaduct one of the men found a padlock. They wanted Oliver to bet that it could or could not be opened. “I am a man of God,” sald Oliver, “and will not bet.” -He walked away and as he walked it came to pass that he had a vislon. It was made plain to him that the four men thought he knew aught of the ways of the wicked. Oliver then went to the police with his message. HALF RATES TO PORTLAND, % And Providenee, R.
