THE OMAHA DA ILY BEE: FRIDAY JAN UARY 16 NAKES ONE BIG REDUCTION! Equalization Board Outs $120,000 Off New York Life Building Valuation, | OFFICIALS MUST APPEAR RAILROAD Certaln OfMcers to Appear and Value of Rallroad Property in City of Omaha, In the course of its session yesterday the Board of Equalization transacted sev- eral important matters of busineas, although the greater portion of the time | was given up to hearing and acting upon applications for small reductions of as- sessments. The aggregate assessment on the New York Life property, Including the main bullding and the small annex on the eide and the real estate, was re- duced from $650,000 to $530,000, and the tax commissioner was instructed to appor- | tion the reduction with relation to the dif- ferent parts of the property as may appear to him most equitable. Henry F. Wyman appeared in support of an application of the New York Life In- surance company, and argued at some Jength as to the relative value of that and other office buildings in the city which had not been eo heavily assessed, and pro- duced statements to show that the net income of the building for several years would not exceed a b per cent investment upon a valuation of $500,000. Reduction for Sorg Estate, The application of the P. J. Sorg Pstnnt for a reduction of the assessment upon the Millard hotel property was referred to the tax commissioner, and on his recommenda- tlon the assessment was reduced from $177,- 50 to $140,000. Those valuations include both land and bullding. Application was made for a reduction of the assessment on the Withnell building from $42,600 to $35,000, and the matter was referred to the tax commissioner for a re- port as soon as possible. On motion of Councilman Hascall the fol- | Jowing resolution was adopted without dis- | cussion: Resolved. That the city attorney without delay furnish this board with a written | opinion as to the legality of ignoring the yaluation of rallroad property as made by the state board as provided by law, and taking the valuation of same as made by the tax commissioner and Board of Re- view. Mr. the afternoon session Councilman Has- call made up for his absence on the previ- ous day by occupylng the floor almost con- tinuously and in the cpurse of the pro- ceedings he took occasion to very posi- tively proclaim his position on the question of rallroad taxation by the city authorl- tles. This subject was brought up by a motion from Mr. Lobeck providing that the board should summon certain officers of the different rallroads as witnesses in the hearing of the railroad cases to be heard this morning. The officers named were | James G. Taylor, auditor of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy road; 8. G. Strickland, division superintendent of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolls & Omaha; Erastus Young, auditor, and John B. Barry, chief engineer, of the Unlon Pacific road. Mr. Lobeck pre- sented typewritten forms of summonses for each of these gentlemen notifying them of the Information expected from them by the board. For instance, Mr. Taylor was Tequested to be prepared to inform the board to the number of miles of the terminals of his road in Omaha, the gross earnings of the terminals Yor 1901 and 1002, and the cost of operating thé termi- nals for the same years, Lobeck’s Motion Prevails, Mr. Hascall objected to Mr. Lobecl plan, first on the ground that the board would not need any information as to the value of railroad properties until it had first settled the question of its jurls- diction to tax the rallroads. This objec- | tion did not appear to impress the other members, who thought it would be well to have witnesses at hand when the ques- tion of jurisdiction had been disposed of. This presupposed a different determination of that point from what Mr. Hascall de- sired and ne entered upon argument of the question of jurisdiction, arguing that the city mor its officers have no right to sess the property of railroads otherwise than at the amounts fixed by the State Board of Equalization. At the close of his argument a vote was taken on Mr. Lobeck's motion to summon the railroad officers named and it carried by a vote of 3 to 2, Councilmen Lobeck, Trostler and Mount voting in the afirmative and Messrs. Has- call and Whitehorn in the negative. The Chicago, Burlington & Quiney road filed a formal protest against the jurisdic- | tion of the ity officers and the Boards of Review and Equalization to assess its prop- erty for taxation. This protest was sim- dlar to that filed by this company before the Board of Review and those already filed with this board by other railroad com- panies. / The assessment of the Dellone hotel property was reduced from $20,000 to $12,000 on the real estate and from $50,000 to $45,000 on the building. Lots Under Water Now. seall Gets Busy. J. H. Dumont came before the board to call attention to a number of lots lying east of Riverview park which had been aseossed on presumption of the same phys- fcal conditions as last year, but which have since that time been greatly changed by the action of the river. In fact, forty-four | of the lots owned by W. E. Clark and others have been, as was shown by a re- cent plat of the city engineer’s office, partly washed away. Each of the lots was con- sidered soparately by the board and the aggrogate assessment on the forty-four lote was reduced from $1,220 to §218. George D. Patterson, western manager of the Pacific Express company, appeared on behalf of that company In responce to a cltation to show cause why its assessment should not be ralsed from $115,500 to $5,600,000. Mr. Patterson presented before the Board of Equalization the same type- written statement of the affairs of his company as he had before the Board of Re. view, and practically the same oral argu- ment as he made to that body. The status of the company and its earnings in the the M. B. Smith Dry Goods company as | president. | Penfold, John Steel and C. T. Kountze, and various states was fully discuesed, but on motion of Mr. Zimman action was deferred until Saturday morning at 10 o'clock to give an opportunity for the city attorney to come before the board with information 8 to the law in regard to the taxation of ompanies incorporated In this state.

SMITH PRESIDENT | Directors of Clab ¥ the y Select Whole- sale Man, Commercial The meeting of the Commercial club di- rectory and executive committee yesterday afternoon was one of the best attended of any ever held by the organization. The meeting of the directors was short and re- sulted in the election of A, C. Smith of The new executive committee organized by electing Robert 8. Wilcox of Browning, King & Co. as chairthan and John E. Utt ai secretary and commissioner. A committee consisting of C. H. Pickens, W. M. Glass, Fred Paffenrath, H. J, Pentold and John Steel was appointed to devise ways and means for increasing the power and scope of the club, with instructions to report at the regular meeting to be held Tuesday. The club decided to take up the matter of a grain market for Omaha and was referred to the transportation com- mittee, to be appointed with the other standing committees next week. In the meantime the matter will be investigated by the secretary, who will make inquiry as to rates on graln to other places. The restaurant question was referred to a speclal committee consisting of H. J. it is sald by the new chalrman that a complete revolution will be worked in this matter. C. C. Belden resigned as a member of the committee and the vacanacy was filled by the election of H. 8. Weller, The club decided to investigate the pro- posed electric line from Council Bluffs to Des Moines, projected by Lyman Waterman in connection with the Creston-Winterset line now under construction. An invitation to the members of the executive commit- tee from the Woman's club to attend the lecture to be delivered by Mrs. H. D. Perky was accepted. It was decided that the an. nual dinner to club members will be given Tuesday evening, as previously planned. H. R. Penney and George R. Platner were glected to membership Triumphs of 1902. Seldom, it ever, in any one year of the history of the world have so many im- portant events of universal interest taken place. America, England, Germany and France have each participated. The presi- dent of the United States welcomed and | entertained H. R. H. Prince Henry of | Prussia at the White House; Edward VII crowned king of England and emperor of India; the German emperor had his American bullt yacht Meteor christened; France had the unvelling of the Rocham- beau statue, and at all functions attending these celebrations Moet & Chandon’s Cham- pagne was used exclusively. This indeed is an unparalleled record, which is proot positive of the superiority and popularity of the renowned brand of Moet & Chandon White Seal y COURT TERM NEAR THE END District Court Will Adjourn Friday or Saturday of This Week. i The October term of district court prob- ably will be adjourned Friday and certainly Saturday. Judge Baxter has nothing ahéad but some arralgnments, unle the attor- neys in the Halter-Police board mandamue case should conclude to accept his offer to €0 ahead with the trial of the case. Judge Read and Judge Slabaugh are through. Judges Dickinson and Day have only small matters. Judge Fawcett is still in Oregon and Judge Estelle in Arkans: The February term, opening two weeks from Monday, has plenty of litigation in store, but none of a very semsational na- ture. On the civil docket are 1,206 cases, against 1,433 at a similar period last year, and 114 criminal aainst 358 last year. Don’t Worry. This Is easier sald than done, yet it may be of some help to consider the matter. It the cause is something over which you have no control it is obvious that worrying will not help the matter in the least. On the other hand, It within your control you have only to act. When you have a cold and fear an attack of pneumonia, buy a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and use it judiciously and all cause for worry as to the outcome will quickly disappear. Thero 1s no danger of pneumonia when it is used. NEW ACQUAINTANCE IS COSTLY Man from Wyoming Pays Hundred Dollars for One NI Experience. Max Randall arrived in the city Wednes- day night from Moorecroft, Wyo., and as he alighted from a B. & M. train made the ac- quaintance of a person of gentlemanly de- meanor, who sald that he had also traveled from Wyoming. Together they took in the sights of the city, Randall paying most of the expenses of the tour. Yesterday he awoke in the lumber yards, with his trous er's leg split nearly to his hip and his pocket turne@ Inside out. His friend of the evening before was missing, as wae also $100 of hard earned Wyoming cash which Randall had brought to Omaha with him. He reported his loss to the police.

UNIONISTS WILL TIGHTEN UP SITUATION Plan to Send All Men Not Required Here for Strike Duty to Other Cities for Work—Stronger Picket Line. President Burt of the Unlon Pacific rail- way bas refused to grant the strikers a conference sooner than two or three weeks at the least, and with a probability that the interim will continue longer than that. Upon the arrival of John McNeil, presi- dent of the International Brotherhood of Boiler Makers and Iron Shipbuilders, to taks charge of the strike Mr. Burt was asked when he could arrange for a continu- ance of the conference as planned. This was done by telephone from Labor Temple, the boiler makers' headquarters. Mr. Burt responded over the wire that he couldn't give the strikers a hearing before two or | three weeks anyway. This information was given out by the strikers’ press committee yesterday, and as a consequence the men have decided to make the fight hotter than ever. Sald a member of the committee: “It 1s plain to us now that this thing 1s going to settle down into a long drawn out struggle. This new situation compels new measures on our part, and we have already decided upon some important changes. To Lessen the Deadwoo “Chief of these will be the setting of all men to work save those needed to carry on the strike. There has been too much deadwood around here. It has been & hindrance. Now, just that number ot strikers needed for the actusl work here, plcket duty and such matters, will be kept here. They will all be put on full pay, drawing the same money they did when at work In the shops. Meanwhile the rest of the men will be found work in various parts of the country at thelr trades and sent there so they can make a living till the strike 1s over. There won't be an idle man left. “Another important change will be an improvement in the picket service. Cap- tain Richelieu will be given the assistance of two lleutenants, one for day and the other for night duty. We intend to see that these pickets do their duty, and we will have other pickets to see that they do." Mr. McNeil returned Wednesday night from the east. “I have little to say regarding the strike till tomorrow,"” said he. “At that time we witl have a meeting of the boiler makers and I shall make a report on the present situation. I shall not remain here for the conference with Mr. Burt, but shall leave for a trip over the lime in about three days. I shall walt in Omaha merely till Tom Wilson gets in, so we can have a general strikers’ conference and de- cide on plans for the future. Wilson will be in Saturday.” SEQUEL TO FREEZE-OUT GAME Marion Arnold Put in Claim for Dam- ages Against the Booth Company. . Marion E.
