Commencing tomorrow and up to and
including September 2d the board will },
occupied with comparing and equalizing
the various county assessments.
Quite number of counties will be cited
to appear and show cause why they
should not be raised.
So far as can be learned the counties
that show a reduotion from last year s
assessments put up the claim that the re
duction in assessed values Is in keeping
with the depreciation of the cash values.
In many cases farms have decreased sc
per cent in the last two years.

THE A. P. A. POLICE MIDDLE
Sensational Statement in the Answer Of
the Defendant Board
Salaries Of Policemen Tied Up BY Injunction
While Extras Are Required to Keep
the Peace
Associated Press Special Wire.

OMAHA, Aug. 5.-The answer OF the
A. P. A. police commissioners TO the petit
tion of the regular board of fire and police
commissioners was filed in the district
court today. The hearing comes up in
the morning and will be IN the nature of
q test OF the constitutionality Of the new
law under which tho A. p. A. board is
acting. The petition claims that pre-
meditated plan was arranged by certain
individuals to render the law void. Also
that the injunction procured by Mayor
Bemis restraining the city council from
approving the defendants bonds, and say
they were procured with fraudulent pur-
poses ard designs.
The answer concludes:
"If any dual board Of conn, iss toner's
exist it will be because said plaintiffs, in
violation of law and in pursuance OF q
long before preconceived plan and in pur-
suance Of an agreement to set aide the
law and to violate the same. will contin-
ue, through the police MS aforesaid wrong
fully organized, controlled and created to
exercise the functions pertaining to sa id
board. And the defendants maintain
that the plaintiffs cannot try the consti-
tutionality of the said law in these cases" "
No excitement was noted in the city to-
day so far as the police muddle is con-
cerned. The only subject now agitatinG
the mem bers of the police force is that
about payment OF salaries. All salaries
for last month are tied up. While the
seventv.five special policemen appointed
by Mayor Bemis have been discharged
until further notice, it is given out tina
the further notice was interpreted to
mean REPORT for duty Tuesday morn
ing"
A special to the Bee from Lincoln,
Neb., says: Papers were filed with the
clerk of the supreme court today in rela-
tioh to Mayor Bemis, mem ber of the old
board of fire and police missioners,
as plaintiff in proceedings in the nature
of quo warranto to test the authority
under which the A. P. A. commission
assumes to have been appointed. This
will force decision from the highest
tribunal OF the state ON mooied question.
The attorney general also began quo
warranto proceedings tonight in the su-
preme court to force the old police COM
mission to show by what authority it
acts. This will also act as test and
gains what the better element has de-
manded. decision that will definitely
determuine the dispute. The case cannot
come up before October.

Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
RIVERSIDE, Aug. 5.-As result OF
tho inquest held on the remains of Mar.
amore a verdict was brought in that he
met death from blows inflicted on his
head by parties unknown to the jury, yet,
from evidence before us, we think there
justify the retention of parties now in
custody for further examination" Ger
tain evidence given was in the light of
medical testimony. and sufficient to ae-
count for the latter part of the verdict
re turned.
Both Caesar Cummings aud Juan Lo-
PEI, in giving their evidence, testified to
having found John Cummings lying tied
and gagged in the corner of room and
Naramore lying apparently dead close
by. Caesar had bottle of whisky in his
pocket and poured some of the liquid
down Naramore's throat to revive him.
He then gave his brother John the bottle
with the rest OF the whisky, and ha hav-
ing drunk the contents. threw the bottle
away, when it struck rock and broke,
upon which John kicked ths pieces un-
der the house.
Drs. c. J. Gill and V. W. Styles tssti.
fed to having performed an autopsy on
the deceased. and their testimony was
to the effect that the wounds above the
left temple and others on the back of the
head were evidently made with q blunt
or round instrument. The skull was not
fractured, death resulting from coagula-
ton of blood on the brain. There were
marks on ths wrists as if made with q
cord. and cord tied after death would
rot have left such impressions. There
was no whisky found in the stomach OF
the deceased. A piece of bottle kicked
under the house upon which were soma
drops of blood was pronounced by DR..
Styles to have been fresh when dropped
upon the glass. This piece was found
where Naramore was found lying.
| The Cummings brothers and Lopez are
in Jail and are being kept in separate

who resides at Ell Monte. arrived IN the

AS TOTHE COLUMBIA'S SPEED
Her Coal Bunkers UniavorabIe for the
Best Results
She VIII Be Examined by a Board Of
Experts as to Damage Received at
Southampton

WASHINGTON. Aug. 5.--The official
report OF Captain Sumner, commander of
the Columb bia, upon the speed test of
that vessel on the run across the Atlantic
reached the navy department today. and
is mainly an elaboration of the succinct
statements of the voyage made by the
captain when he arrived at New York.
He says that he made the run in 6 days
23 hours and 8 minutes. The quantity of
coal on board at the time of departure was
lS61% tons. or which l474 tons and 11S0
pounds were consumed; the draught for
ward was 26 feet 3 inches and aft 25 feet 9
inches. Captsin Sumner says:
'It was not deemed practicable to
make the last twenty-four hours run un-
der forced draught because of the unreIi-
ability of the boilers 1--WE were blowing
out tubes at the rate of 140 pounds). The
loose state of the engines from the long
run. the great fatigue of the crew and
above all the impracticability of getting
coal supply to the boilers with sufficient
rapidity from whero the coal was located
AT this stage of the run. were the reasons.
The run has involved excessive labor on
the part of most of the ships company.
for we mad twelve volunteers from deck
on duty in the fire rooms for the whole
run and forty eight more men from deck
have been employed below for some days
past in supplying the lower bunkers with
| coal from the wing passages.
The experience of the Celum bia in hel
ocean race against time has served tc
direct the attention of the engineer offic
ers to the pressing need for a radica
change in the present. system of arrang.
ing coal bunkers. 1t has become the prac
tice of late years to subdivide the interior
of ships hull, alloting space for boil.
ers. engines. sleeping quarters, guns. am
, munition, magazines and for every othel
purpose, and then to fill in the vacant
corners with coal bunkers. The result j.
! as shown in the case of the Columbia
| that these bunkeis are often almost mac
| cessibe. and the contents can be reached
by only one :can at a time, thus prevent
, Ing the easy supply OF the boilers witt
coal, and consequently reducing the speed
| OF the ship. This is particularly true o
the bunkers when empty, for they arr
generally arranged in groups communi
eating with one another by small doors
and the iremen must drag the Goa
through several bunkers to get it to thu
| furnaces.
Acting Secretary McAdoo to-
| day appointed board, consisting o.
Commodore Selsridge. Chief Enginee
Farmer and Naval Constructor Bowles, t.
make complete examination OF thu
| damage done to the Columbia when shs
was docked at Southampton. The acting
secretary requires the board to make d
report of the damage sustained and th
repairs that will be necessary.
