SAYS CITY OUGHT TO TAX ITS SHARES Company is Sald to Have Taxable Stock of the Actual Value of Eleven or Twelve Mil- lions of Dollars. In the course of its investigations in con- nection with the current tax levy the tax committee of the Real Estate exchange has made & discovery which is regarded as most fmportant. It has been found, as the com- mittee reports, that the Pacific Express company, whose personal property tax in this city has been merely nominal, has its corporate existence here and is legally amenable under its charter to assessment by the city of Omaha upon its entire capi- tal stock, which at par s of the value of $6,000,000, and which on the basis of its earning capacity is valued by the commit- tee at nearly twice that amount. The com- mittee yesterday submitted the following report on this subject: The Pacific Express company is incor- porated under the laws of Nebraska with incipal office designated in its cnarter at Brnaba. its capital stock amounts (o 6,000 shares of par value of $,000,000.

Representatives of several of the business houses which had been cited to appear occu- pled the attention of the Board of Review yesterday and some revisions of the figures of the tax commissioner were agreed upon. A member of the Wright & Wilheimy company responded to a citation to show cause why the assessment on the stock of that firm should not be increased from $76,300 to $120,000, and although protesting ;against that figure as unjustly high, he re- to answer the questions put to him to the firm's property. The board de- (elined to give any relief unless the desired Anformation should be furnished. H. B. Boyles, proprietor of the Boyles' Business college, appeared to protest against an assessment of 31,100 on the ml:n( that he was conducting an educa- tional - institution and therefore was not subject to taxation. The board failed to accept his view of the question. The assessment upon the property of the C. B. Havens company was increased from $5,500 to $15,500, to include certain mining stock. The sum of $2,500 was added to the Dunping Hardware company's assessment of $10,000, fixed by the commissioner. The Grant and Alcazar Paving companies were both granted reductions by reason of the fact that they have dismantled the plants formerly maintained by them in this city. The Grant company was reduced from $15,250 to $1,500 and the Alcazar from $10,000 to $2,600. The assessment of Kuhn & Co.’s stock was increased from $6,250 to $7,500. On real estate the Klopp-Bartlett company was reduced from $25,000 to $20,- 000 and on personal property increased from $2,000 to $9.000. WILL STILL BOARD THE MEN Unfon Pacific Offici Deny Strike Breakers' Hotel Will Be Abandoned. that Offictals of the Union Pacific deny that the company’s boarding house at the shops, which is being maintained for the accomo- dation of its strike breakers, will be aban- doned. “Strikers threaten to have the hotels where these strike breakers may go to Dboard boycotted,” wis suggested to an off- clal. “Well, all right, if the people of Omaha want that sort of thing and will stand for it, we are satisfied,” remarked an official. Some of the imported shopmen have for. some time been boarding over in the eity and the strikers have determined that for the sake of these and some of the original shopmen who did not strike action will be undbrtaken designed to keep these men from securing board outside of the com- pany's quartefs. “They must stay on the' lnside or outside of the shops” sald a striker. “If they work at the shops they must board there. They cannot work there and board in the clty, or at least they ought not be allowed to.” WILL ASK BID FOR PRINTING Schedules for Next Y ing Made in County Clerk's omce.

PROMISE TO MAKE IT GREAT SUCCESS Necessary Buildings and Arrange- ments Could Be Provided at Cost of Not More Than Thirty Thousand Dollars, Parties returned from the Chicago Live Stock show say that the proposed shev at Omaha met with the unqualified slp- port of a large number of the members and officers of the Hereford and Shorthorn Breeders' assoclations. Of all the men ..in the work ably ome of the most enthusiastic over the proposed Omaha show is Thomas Mor- timer, manager of the Marshall Field in- terests in the Stanton breeding farm near Stanton, Neb. Mr. Mortimer is a mem- ber of the Board of Directors in the Here- ford association. Speaking of the shows in general, he sald that the interests of the breeders of thoroughbred stock is in the north and west and that a larger propor- tion of the active buyers of fine stock could be’ reached at Omaha than at any other point in the west, probably, as the demand for these animale now comes from Nebraska, Montana, Wyoming and Colo- rado, states which are practically tribu- tary to this city. Mr. Mortimer sald that the necessary buildings and arrangements could be pro- vided at an expenditure of mot to excesd $30,000 and that the resulting attendance would be more than the expenditure of a similar amount in any other way could bring to the city, the visitors all being men who would spend much more money than the average visitors to the city. It is said that the directors of the asso- clations at their meeting in Chicago Thurs- day evening appropriated the sum of $3,000 each to be used as premlums during the next year in extending the work in the northwest. The regular premiums in the various grades are offered directly by the ssoclations, the citizens taking no part in subscribing these premiums. The local promoters are expeeted to offer special premiums, which usually bear the names of | the donmors. The date settled upon tenta- tively for the Omaha show is just before the Kansas City show, which is held in Oc- tober. Members of the board of directors tamiliar with the local conditions said that Ak-Sar-Ben week would be the date prob- | ably decided upon, as at that time no heat | would be necessary in the buildings. Big Tent is Proposed. These men also said that for judging the | | animals & ring in a tent is better than oge |in a frame or brick bullding, as the light |1s more oven and the conditions neprer those of the open air. l A large number of the western breeders were enthuslastic and It was understood la | Chicago that with a fair offer on the part of the Omaha people a large number would be present with show anlmals, making the | prob- | exhibition one of the best in the United States. Among those particularly interested In the matter, who are expected to have cat- tle on display and who were represented at the Chicago exhibition, are the follow- ing men and firms: Hereford Breeders—C. A. Stannard. Em- poria, Kan., Overton Harris, Harrls, Mo. George Redhead, Des Moines; W. N. Rogers, McCook; Gudgell & Simpson, Independence, and Colonel Sparks of Nevada, who was elected president of the American Hereford Breeders’ assoclation at the annual meet- fog in Chicago this week. Shortho?n Breeders — Colonel Casev. Shawnee Mound, Mo.; Tomson Brothers, Dover, Kan.; George Bothwell, Nettleton. Mo.; George Ward, Hawarden, la.: C. A. Saunders, Manilla, Ia., and George E. Hard- ing & Son, Waukesha, Wis. Aberdeen-Angus—W. C. McGavock, Chi- cago, secretary of the American Aberdeen- Angus assoclation; McHenry Bros, Den- ison, Ia.; C. A. Benny, Alta, Ia.; Charles Escher and W. B. Seeley, Mount Pleasant, Ia. Galloways—R. W. Parks, Kansas City, secretary of the American Galloway Breed- ers' asdociation; A. Rowland, Kansas; F. H. White, Estherville, Ia.; G. W. Lindsay, Red Cloud; C. N. Moody, Atlanta, Mo., and J. B. and A. M, Thompson, Nashua, Mo. Frack Rockefeller, the retiring president of the Hereford association, is very much interested in the proposed Omaha show and predicted great results from it It it is carried out. BUSINESS RIVALRY WARMS UP Results in Guides to Dent Comi: to Blows in Hallway. The bitter enmity which has existed for some time past between the proprietors of the Union Dental company and Dr. All- wine, who is also a dentist in the Bushnell block, culminated Friday afternoon, when employes of the two rival establishments came to blows in the hall leading to the | offices of the doctors. Dr. Allwine, who claims that he is not the aggressor, but that he has been continually imposed upon by the opposition firm, assumed the initiative in having & warrant sworn out and the matter will be heard in the police court. It appears that the Union company, that it might increase the receipts from its busi- ne placed a colored doorman, Bud Clark, in the hallway, which also leads directly to the offices of Dr. Allwine. That he might | maintain the practice he was building up Dr. Allwine claims that he was forced to foliow suit in the matter of doormen and | secured the services of Sam Blotsky to di- rect his trade. | The rivalry for business extended to the two employes and they engaged in the com- | bat, which was not in compliance with their duties. Blotsky claimed before Prosecutor Thomas that Clark had delivered a stiff uppercut on his jaw without any provoca- | tion, and, after displaying a swollen cheek was permitted to make complaint against Clark for assault and battery. Meanwhile the rivalry goes oa unabated and both concercs are countering for favor |lnh the landlord that the other may not be permittedqg® make & checkmating move. , | court in the form of garnishment, POSITION OF UNION LABOR Its Attitude on Proposed Legislation is Olearly 8tated. ACCEPTS DEBTORS' COURT PLAN IN PART Not Enable Creditors to Force Employers to Dis- charge Honest Men ix the End Sought. Law that Wi Representatives of the labor unions, speaking of the proposed change in the guarnishment law, declare their position is misunderstood by the public generally. Sald one: “We do not oppose the passage of a gar- nishment law as such, nor for the effect it will have upon those who do not desire.to pay their just debts, nor even for the effect it might have upon honest men who by reason of fallure to eecure work may be forced to leave just debts unpaid, but our objection is to the effect such a law will have upon the relations between the work- ing man who is employed by a large cor- poration and his employer. Most of the corporations have a rule under which when a man's wages are garnisheed for the third time he is dismissed from the service, for the third time. cause the employers do not like to be both- ered with such legal proceedings. The time of the managers is valuable and the swering garnishee proceedings does not compensate them for the time lost. Where & large number of men are employed one person might practically be kept in court answering to these proceedings, so in self- defense the rule of discharge in these cases has been adopted. “In states where garnisfment law is effective a large number of discharges | | are for this reason, even though the men as & rule pay their debts as soon as they can. The average employe of the railroad companies, for instance, who draws his pay once a month has an account with the gro- cer, the butcher and the dry goods mer- chant. When he is unable to pay one ac- count he is usually unable to pay any. Several Cuse Come at Once, “One of his creditors becomes fearful that he will not be pral and institutes proceed- ings in garnishment. The others then go after their share of the money in self- defense and, as a rule, when one garnish- ment process is issued the other two will immediately follow, and the working man | is out of a job and his family is destitute. | is con- | cerned we look upon the matter with more | “So far as the debtor's court favor, as with some amendments the plan might be very satisfactory. In place of having the ultimate proceedings in this | which would bring the employer into court to testify as to the amount of money in his hands belonging to the debtor, and would cause him the acnoyance of attending court |as well as the probable discharge of the | ewploye, I would have the final proceed- and in many cases the rule is not to wait | This rule {s made be- | small fee which they are allowed for an- | ings in the nature of an assignment. In case the debtor failed to meet the partial payments ordered the court should be em- powered to command the employer to de- liver to it at each pay day the check or money due the debtor, and from this money he. should deduct a certain amount each pay day until the judgment is extinguished. In order to have the debtor avoid the ex- treme course I would have some penalty attached, such as an additional fee for the work, or increased amount of partial pay- ment to the creditor. By this means the employer would not be bothered, as it would be as easy for him to pay into court as to pay the employe and the latter would be protected from discharge.” ELKS INCREASE CHARITY FUND Swell Amount to Be Given as Christ- mas Present to Local In- stitutions, Hospitals and charitable organizations ! have received a very pleasing advance tip from the headquarters of Santa Claus to the effect that the local lodge of Elks voted Friday night to distribute $1,200 in cash among them this year, the checks to be mailed at once as Christmas donations. pursuant to the plan adopted when the Elks' fair was held last winter. This vlan. it will: be remembered, was to raise a fund tor the Cronk campaign at Salt Lake Ofty and give to charity all that might be raised over the amount required for that purpose. The Elks have stretched the figure in the donation, but declare that it is justified by thelr cardinal principle, charity. The Creche, Child Saving institute, | Omaha Rescue home, Salvation Army Res- cue home, Newsboys' home, Old Ladies' | home, St. James orphanage, Home of the | Good Shepherd and Visiting Nurses' asso- | clation will each receive $100. Fifty dol- lars will be given egch to St. Josephs', wise, Methodist, Clarkson, Immanuel and the South Omaha hospitals. GLOBE SAVINGS BANK CASE Attorneys in Rawson's Sult Against Defunct Institution Move for Neéw Tri Because they bave cases involving the same points, Judges Slabaugh and Estelle sat together yesterday on the former's bench and heard and took under advisement ¢ motion made by Attorneys E. and A, C. Wakeley for a new trial in the case of A C. Rawson against Cadet Taylor, D. T Mount, the estate of H. O. Devereese and the Globe Savings bank to recover judg- ment on & bond given by them to the state to pay all debts of the defunct Globe Sav- ings bank. Rawson has about thirty claims. { some assigned to him by othep creditors. aggregating about $3,000. The courts have seemed inclined to the view that in such instances the sult must be in the interests of all creditors, but Rawson's attorneys say that some of the creditors are owed in such small sums that they do not care to e, e. If not permitted a new trial, they say, they will carry it to the higher court. COAL FAMIN PROSPECT Dealers Bay That Week of Severe Weather Would Exhaust Sapply. FORECAST SAYS COLD WAVE IS COMING Not Enough Local B Long Continued Zero Weather, Coal of Kind in to Meet Demand of Any The cold wave flag was hoisted at 8 yesterday afternoon. A drop of 20 de- grees In temperature is predicted by Sun- day morning. Yesterduy's forecast for colder last night and much colder today places an exceedingly serious aspect on the prosnect of a coal famine In the city. While there 18 enough coal of some sort in the bins of dealers to meet the demands of a day or two of severe weather, a cold wave of over & week's duration would place the ecity with absolutely no supply of coal to draw upon. “If we are upon the verge of a cold wave of any great length,” said a prominent coal dealer yesterday, “it will place us in & very serious position. We are doing a ! band-to-mouth business with steam coal at the present time. It is about all we can do to keep up to time on our contracts with such large consumers as the packing houses. There is a good prospect, with continued cold weather, of Omaha experi- encing \the sensations of a short supplied city under seige.” The snowstorm of Friday night, according to the local weather bureau, extended generally over this section. It began here at 2:30 in the morning and before ceasing a fall was recorded of of an inch melted, The only Inconvenlence caused to the street car company by yesterday morning’s storm was reported from the Council Bluffs line. Owing to a derailment of the snow plow at the east end of the bridge at 6:30 this morning the workers due in Omaha for the next hour and a half were forced to walk across the bridge. NEIGHBORS STIR UP A ROW of Mak- Against Mortal Satety. Because of ill-feeling which has broken out between the familics of Tony Misleveo and Michael Stepanck of Gibson the latter, together with his wife, Barbara, were held in bonds to keep the peace in the sum of $200 Saturday afternoon in Justice Altstadt’'s court From the facts of the case it appears I(hnl & neighborhood row has occurred in | which the defendants are clalmed to have ) threatened the lives of the Misl who claim that they fear the threat would be carried out unless the law was invoked to hold the family in restraint. The case has caused the friends of the two familles to show their loyalty by teking sides with the contestants.
