CRUISER ORDERED TO BLUEFIELDS

 Post Haste.
PRESENCE OF A WAR VESSEL
Is Necessary to Protect Interests oi American Residents From the Ex- tortionate Demands Made By
 Gen. Lorres-Protest Lodged.

Washington, April 6.-The cruiser De- troit, which is now lying off La Guyasai Venezuela, has been ordered post haste to Bluefelds, Nicaragua, for the protection of American interests in that quarter.
 On the way she will touch at Port Limon, Costa Rica, where her commander will put himself in communication with the United States consul at that point and where he also may receive further instructions. She is also likely to make brief stop at Grey town. Her dispatch under hurry orders is at the urgent request of the state depart ment to which American residents at Blue fields and Costa Rica have appealed for pro- tection of American interests.
 The arbitrary and extortionate policy adopted by General Torres at Bluefields, who, on more than one occasion has made himself persona non grata to this govern ment and whose restoration to power at this time has been followed by acts which American residents resent and protest against, is the main cause of the vessels dispatch. The state department at the same time has cabed instructions to the United States diplomatic representative at Bluefelds to lodge an energetic protest with the Nicaraguan government against the action of General Torres and a disre- gard of this protest will be followed up by a more positive step on the part of this government.
 In Costa Rica the American business in- terests and residents are in trouble, as a result of an insurrectionary movement. It is understood that the insurgents are levy ing forced loans on them, besides collecting exnrhitant and double duties on it's norris

developed between the attorneys and some OF
the members OF the board that may have an
important bearing on the action OF the board
Chairman Ostrom held that the board has
nothing to do with assessments that are not
complained of. He suggests that II the facts
showed that the department stores are as
sessed too low. as compared with the prop
erty OF retailers who made the complaint,
the difference may be equalized. The attor-
neys took the position that this could not be
done IL it appeared that the department
stores were assessed on a level with the gen.
eral assessment OF similar interests, even II
an inequality seemed to exist in some par
ticular case.
Other complaints considered Included one
from George p. Bemis who contended that
some OF Ferdinand Streitzs Sixteenth street
property was assessed too low as compared
with some of his own. The Omaha Brick
company wanted its assessment reduced at
the expense of some Of the downtown es-
tablishments, and a number Of other prop
erty owners applied for similar relief. After
getting all the information possible and
hearing the statements OF all interested the
board took the entire matter under advise

RETAILERS CANNOT AGREE
They Differ in Opinion in Regard to the
Values of Stocks.
DEPARTMENT STORES ARE UNDER FIRE
Smaller Establishments Contend that
the Assessors Have Given the
Big stores the Best
of 1t.
DEPARTMENT STORES ARE UNDER FIRE

Yesterday was the liveliest day
that the Board Of Equalization has
yet experienced and all the fore
noon the county board rooms were
crowded with men who came to complain OF
The manner in which they had been treated
by the assessors in comparison with their
neighbors. Incidentally the neighbors
dropped in to insist that the complaints were
unjustifed, and as several of them were ac-
companied by their attorneys the question
was very thoroughly ventilated.
The most important complaint was that OF
Thomas Fitzpatrick and Kelley, Stger & Co,
who contend that their assessments were too
high as compared with these of the big de-
partment stores. The two retail stocks are
assessed al $4,000 each, in round numbers
while the Boston Store stock is valued at
81, 100, that of Hayden Bros. at $4,000 and
that OF Bennett at less than $4,000.
In speaking for the complainants Mr.. Kill
patrick said he regretted that the law is 40
constructed that no man can protect himself
except by attacking his neighhors. They did
not wish to question the assessments of other
retailers, but found it necessary TO do so in
order to secure relief from what they be-
lieved to be an unjust valuation Of their own
property. Both Mr.. Fitzpatrick and Mr.. Kel-
ley declared that the stock of the Boston
store is fairly worth s250,00o and that OF
Hayden Brcs. $500 900. On this basis they
contonded that their own assessments should
be reduced and the difference added to the
valua ton OF the establishments of which
they complained.
In reply to this Emil Brandeis declared
that the February invoice of his establish
ment showed stock of only $50 900 His
attorney brought out comparative statements
of the value of the stocks of a number OF
| the farge wholesale establishments, together
with the valuations placed on them, TO show
| that the valuations OF the department stores
are not too low as compared with the gen.
| eral assessments in the city.
