THE RAILROADS GET INJUNCTION Judge Munger Restrains Oity from Taxing Union Pacific and Burlington. SAYS THE RECENT ASSESSMENT IS VOID Court Holds that Power of Equaliza- Not Give Authority to y tion Doe Assess—Statement from ¢ Attorney Connmell. Judge Munger yesterday lssued a tom- porary Injunction against the city council and taxing authorities of the city restrain- ing them from making a levy upon the property of the Burlington and Union Pa- cific railroads on the basis of the assess- ment returned by the tax commi the Board of Review. In his opinion the judge says the two eases presented mo nearly identical condi- tions that one hearing determined the rule in each; that It appears that the tax com- missioner did not follow the provisions of the city charter in accepting the assess- ment as returned by the state board. Re- terring to the unit system of taxation he says it has long been the statute law and has recelved judicial sanction, not only by the supreme court of this state, byt by the | supreme court of the United Stafes. The Judge quotes the decision of the Nebraska supreme court in the case of the state ex rel against Savage. In this case the su- preme court sald: “We know of no rule by which the State Board of Equalization under the present law can value railroad and tele- graph properties in municipalities having taxing powers of their own at a uniform waluation with other properties therein, when the standard of valuo s different from that prevailing under the general revenue Taws. Judge Munger, commenting on this rule in his opinion, says “This language of the court gives some force to the contention of counsel for re- spondents, but it will be observed that the court is only speaking of the standard of value, and in no manner questions the method of ascertaining the value upon the mileage basis. If, for instance, the stand- ard of value of property for general revenue purposes throughout the state was fixed at one-half of its actual cash value, and In cities and municipalities the standard of value for local taxation s fixed at its full or cash value, then of course the assessment of the state board on a basis of 50 per cent should not be accepted as the final basis of value for municipal purposes. Powers of City Counefl, “The charter of the city provides that the city council shall sit as a board of equalization, when it shall hear and de- termine and equalize the value of property between individual taxpayers. If it shall appear to them when sitting as such board that the assessed valuation of one verson’s or corporation’s property has been made upon a basis of 50 per cent of Its ac- tual cash value while the property of an- other individual or corporation has been assessed at 100 per cent, or its full cash value, they are empowered to remedy this inequality by raising the assessment of one or lowering that of the other to an equality. “‘But the power of alization does not glve the authority to adsess. I am clearly of the opinion that the alleged assessment and valuation of the complainants’ prop- erty in the manner alleged was wholly ‘without jurisdiction and vold, and that the ecity council, not having changed the sessment when sitting as a board of equal- {sation, has no power or authority to as- sess the property of complainants at an- other or different valuation than that fixed by the state board, and that a tax levied upon the assessment as returned by the tax commissioner and Board of Review would be vold. “A party is not required to pay a tax which, as yet, has no existence. If a tax, when 1aid, may be enfoined because of its illegality, then a court of equity may en- Join the levy of such, tax. “For these reasons a temporary order of injunction will be granted, restraining the eity council from levying a tax upon the assessment as returned by the tax com- missioner and the Board of Rewlev as to the property of the complainants assessed by the state board.” Aw to Personal Property. The court then takes up that part of the complaint of the Union Pacific relative to the increase In tho assessment of the personal property ‘of that road by the Board of Review over the valuation as turned by the tax commissioner, and says “As it s charged in the bill that the Board of Review ralsed the assessment without any notice to complainant, and that they acted fraudulently and raised the sessment six times above that of other property, the temporary injunction will be granted as to that." Referring to the injunction as to the property of the Union Pacific other than that returned by the state board, a member of the Jast Board of Review sald that tho board had motified the Unlon Pacific of fts intended action, and that the company failed to appear. This question was not touched upon in the argument before the court, as the ity had filed no answer, and for the purpose of the argument the alle- gations of fact in the bill had to be taken a8 true, City Attormey’'s Statement, City Attorney Connell sald: “The effect probably will be a levy made on the theory that the final decision will. be in favor of the city. will exist in some of the funds for the varlous departments, but this condition will Bave to be met when it is reached. The council will undoubtedly make a levy in a cordance with the action taken by tho court, and obey the order restraining a levy on the rallroad assossments as re- turned by the Board of Review and Board of Equalization. They will make a levy on all property except the railroad property concerned, with the expectation that it will be reached later by a supple mental levy.” Judge Berka's Busy Da A new record was established In the po- lice court yesterday by Judge Berka, when he disposed of seventy-seven cases which ‘Were on the court record, heard five purned cases, arralg four alleged torgers, administered fines egating over §1% and had his court shortly after 12 o'clock.

Newly Not Clear. Hayden Brothers started two suits in dis- trict yesterday for possession of property which they allege they acquired when they purchased the St. Mary Magda lene church premises on Douglas street be- tween thie Boston store and the Patterson block and across the alley south from thelr own store | The church bullding is In the center of {the lot and the plaintift alleges that the Patterson block's foundation intrudes two féet over the boundary line, though under the surface of the ground, and therefore sult is brought for immediate possession and for $83 judgment leged to be the reasonable value of posses- slon during the year since the Haydens bought the premises The other suit is for immediate posses- slon of a similar strip four feet wide on the | east side of the church lot, the claim being that the foundation of the Boston store | there intrudes to that extent. Of these two suite the attorney representing Hayden Brothers said “The one-year lease of the church has | about expired and the church people are pre- | paring to move into their new building at Nineteenth and Dodge. This leaves the way open for Hayden Brothers to build their new addition on the church lot early this | spring. To occupy the full width of the lot, when they come to excavate for the foot- ings for the east wall they will find four feet of the Boston Store foundation in their way and for their west wall two feet of the Patterson block foundation. In both in- stances the foundations extend from Doug- las street north to the alley, so the com- plication is quite serious, and to get it stralghtened out these suits are brought, with the possibility of an adjustment with- | out much court procedure.” | FOUR ARE UP FOR FORGERY Three Call for Preliminary Hearings and One is Held to Dis- triet Court. court In police court yesterday four of the alleged forgers who were taken into custody last week were arraigned. None of the prisoners entered a plea of guilty. Bd G. Roth confronted charges containing two counts. After considerable delay he decided to have an examination and his preliminary hearing was accordingly set for Thursday. Grant D. Kelffer, who Is alleged to have passed a worthless check upon the bank in the Boston Store, waived his examination and was bound over to the district court under $800 bonds. Henry Kaempter of Kansas City, who admitted that he gave the check to Kelffer, had his preliminary hearing set for Tuesday morn- ing. John W. Carpenter, who is alleged to have floated oconsiderable worthless paper, was arraigned on two warrants, contalning two counts each. Judge Berka set his hearing for Tuesday morning. MAUD PARKS PLEADS GUILTY Girl in Short Skirts Enters Plea that May Send Her to Peni- tentiary. Judge Estelle has gone to St. Paul to take Judge Stubb’s docket and Judge Stubbs hae come here to preside in the criminal court for a week or two. The exchange is made because Judge Stubbs was interested in cer- tain ca: pending there and because his brother is interested in others. The only matters demanding Judge Stubbs’ attention here yesterday was the roll call of the new panel of jurors and the taking of the new plea of Maud Park. Maud 18 & girl still in short skirts. Recently she was arraigoed on a charge of grand larceny, the complaining witness being Kitty Al- berts of 724 North Sixteenth street, who al leged Maud had stolen $49.50 from her. ‘When arraigned Maud pleaded not guilty, but this morning changed her plea to guilty and was remanded by Judge Stubbs to awalt sentence.

After walting for many weeks the Unlon Pacific general committees of the Order of Rallway Conductors and the Brother- hood of Railway Trainmen have secured a date for the desired conference with President Burt, it heing March 2. Mr. Burt yesterday set this time. , The committee here, as elsewhere, will ask for the 20 per cent raise of wages and the abolishment of double headers on tralns that scale more than one engine's rating. In other places the committees have secured a concession of 15 per cent ralse for freight men and 12 per cent for passenger, and the same is expected here Meanwhile the Fremont, Elkfiorn & Mis- souri Valley general committees are still as, General Manager Bidwell has set no date The committees expect to be held till the Chicago & Northwestern com- mittees and general manager come to- gether, as the work of settling the matter for these two roads will undoubtedly be in view of the recent complete absorption of the Elkhorn by the Chicago & Northwestern. General Manager Gardner of the latter road probably will adjust all the matters for bo. b The executive council of the National Association of Machinists has been asked by strike leaders here to either compel the Southern Pacific to take off its fifteen en- gines now in use on the Union Pacific or to declare a machinists' strike on the Southern Pacific. The council has been in- formed that some decided stand on this matter must be taken and strikers are eag- erly awaiting its answer. Meanwhile the boller makers have still to hear from thelr executive council, which was some weeks ago asked to vote on whether to extend the boller makers' strike to the Southern Pacific. Some of the mem- bers of the council are taking their timo about responding.

He 1s 71 years old and'is one of four broth- ers who served in the civil war. He says his trouble s caused by a pension attorney who secured his signature to papers by mis- representation and that if there was any scheme to detraud it was framed up by the attorney. Hancock says the charge of de- sertion against him on the old muster rolls was caused by the fact that he was in the Hospital when the regiment was mustered out and that the officer in charge of the rolls found it easier to account for him as a deserter than to ascertain his whereabouts, WILL GIVE THE BRIDE AWAY “White Beaver” Will Take Part at ‘Wedding of “Buffalo Bill's” Daughter.

More definite information regarding .the sweeping change and elimination of of- ficials at Elkhorn headquarters, as out- lined by The Bee, comes in the following, printed under a flaring headline in the Chicago Chronicle: Announcement {s expected soon regarding the reorganization of the official staft of the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missourl Valley rallway, which the Northwestern has made a part of its system completely. It is understood that quite a number of im- ortant changes will be made, especally n the operating department, which wiil probably be placed under W. A.

Buchanan as general passenger agent of the Klkhorn It is understood that the jurisdiction of Passenger Traffic Manager W. B. Kniskern of the Northwestern will be extended to include the Elkhorn and that C. A. Cairns will be promoted from the position of assistant general passenger agent of the Northwestern to that of gen- eral passenger agent, with jurisdiction over both roads. The jurisdiction of Assistant General Manager 'R H. Aishton and of General Superintendent W. D. Cantillon will also be extended to include the Elk- horn, Bidwell to Retire, These changes will necessitate the retire- ment of George F. Bidwell as general manager of the Elkhorn and it is likely that he will be made assistant general superintendent to assist Mr. Cantillon, or will be made superintendent of the road. which will probably be known as the Elk- horn division. It has not been determined what will be done with C, C. Hughes, now general superintendent of the Elkhorn It is likely also that the freight depart- ment will be reorganized, that the position of purchasing agent, now held by Lester H.
