RAILROAD ASSESSORS
Meet to Hear Complaints From Those
Feeling Aggrieved.

The state board of railroad assessors
began its session today to make up the
assessments and hear representatives Of
the several railroads who are interested
in having their assessments reduced.
It's reduce. Of course. for no one ever
comes before the board to have an as
sessment raised.
Kansas City, Kan, has a committee
here Directing to discrimination in for
mer assessments on railroad property
in that city. Deputy County Clerk Joe
Hoffman, DR.. L D. Mabie, county com
missioner, and Assessor Throop are the
committee seeking a readjustment of
the assessments.
According to the figures of the officers
of the Rock Island, 1t occupies IS acres
in Kansas City, Kan. This land is
valued at $1,000 an acre The shops and
ten acres of ground are said to be well
worth $12 80 and the bridge across the
KaW is valued by the officials at $50 Goo
The bridge figured at 20 per cent of its
actual valuation for assessment pGr-
poses. leaves its valuation at 81, 600
Then there are 16 miles of side tracks
valued for assessment purposes at 3 600
mile. or $32, GOO. The same kind of
side tracks. it is alleged, is assessed at
$4,000 a mile for the Kansas City Belt
Line.
This makes s111. go worth of assessable
property. taking the corporations own
figures as a guide Last year, and for
many years past, the entire assess ent
on E1Ock ISlanQ property was %o1+zVO OF
$50, 700 short of what Nthe committee
thinks it should be.
Another seemingly inequitabIe assess
ment is in the cases of the Union Pa
cifie and Missouri Pacific shops. It is
estimated that the Union Pacific shops
are worth four times more than those
Of the Missouri Pacific. There is only
$33, goo difference in the assessment. the
Missouri Pacific being assessed at $25, 600
and the Union Pacific at $4,000. And.
toe. the Missouri Pacific assessment is
considered entirely too low.
The committee has fortified itself with
argumentive data, and expects to get
some concessions in the matter of rail-
road assessments.

LOOMS IS CORNERED.
Trying to Shirk Responsibility
of Having Talked Too Much.

New York, April 1s.-F B. LOOMS,
United States minister to Venezuela
seems to be having a hard time with his
lntsrvfewers. A New York special from
san Juan Porto Rico. says that before
sailing from that port Mr.. Loomis paid
a visit to the Office OF the San Juan
News, where he met the correspondents
of the New York Herald and the Asso-
ciated Press and another correspondent.
He talked for ''an hour in the presence
Of the three, commenting on President
Castro's policy and the probab.litS of a
rebellion within a year. His statements
were taken in shorthand and transcripts
were sent to the New York Herald and
the Associated Press"
On Mr.. LOOMS arrival in New York
he denied very circumstantialIy these
interviews, both to the Associated Press
and New York Mail and Express, TO the
latter saying:
"A reporter from the Associated Press,
who, am informed. is also editor OF the
San Juan News, came aboard the Seor-
pion just before we came away. I told
him that I had nothing to say on the
asphalt question, or Of General Castro or
of anything else OF a diplomatic charac-

what did say to the Mail and Express
reporter was that a man who represent
ed himself to be an Associated Press re-

learned was not an Associated Press re-
