TWO SCHOOLS CANNOT MIX
DR.. Hanchett Tells why Homeopaths
Did Not Accept oner of
AIIopaths.

DIR. w. H. Hapchett returned yesterday
morning from the national convention of the
American Institute of Homeopathy at
Cleveland, o., where for the fifth time he
was elected as chairman Of the interstate
committee. He reports that the principal
subject under discussion there, from the
standpoint of the general public. was that
OF the proposed amalgamation Of the two
leading schools Of medicine, allopathy and
homeopathy, o%vertures to this end having
been made by the allopaths. But the no.
meopathS modesly repulsed the advance say
ing, mot until you recognize my faith,
which is the true faith, can we ever meet
at the altar"
'In my address to the members" said
DR.. Hanchett, ~ advised them not to listen
to the siren voice of the allopaths-that
we were all physicians, working for a
common end. and hence should work to-
gether. Not until they recognized the
~soundness Of our creed, I insisted, should
we entertain any proposition from them
looking to an alliance, and the members
seemed to share in this view.
1.-THE American Institute of Homeopathy
is the Oldest national medical society in
America. The reports showed that much
had been accomplished during the year
along scientific lines. in higher medical
education. n In the liberalization of all
schools Of medicine"

CONSIDER SPEED ORDINANCE
Owners of HorseIess Vehicles VIII
feet Wednesday Night for
that Purpose.

The Automobile club of Omaha, compris-
ing thirty-f1ve members, A. 1. Root, presi-
dent, will hold a special meeting Wednes-
day evening Of this week to consider the
special ordinance introduced In the city
council two weeks g by Councilman Hoye.
This ordinance fixes the maximum speed
at which an automobile may run inside
the city limits at twelve miles an hour,
provides for carrying of lamps after dark.
and imposes a fine Of $25 for its infraction.
Similar ordinances are in force In all of
the principal cities Of the United States.
I'VE don't consider this ordinance as an
tagonizing the motor car owners" said Dali
ton Risley. secretary Of the club. ION the
contrary, we regard II as a good thing, as
we do not wish to have automoblling
brought into disrespect by foolhardy chat
feurs, as It has been In some OF the larger
cities Of the east. The ordinance as II
stands is very satisfactory, though the
club may suggest some minor changes and
additions. For example, we may recon-
mend a clause be incorporated providing
that each car must be equipped with either
a bell or a horn"
There are now forty automobiles IN
Omaha, including every variety Of motor
gas. gasoline, steam and electricity.
Ordinances are now in force regulating
the speed OF trolley cars, bicycles and
horse power vehicles. Bicycles may rur
eight miles an hour In the business dis
tricts M ten miles an hour in the resi-
dence districts; the speed OF street cars is
limited to ten and twelve miles an hour II
these localities and drivers OF horses must
not exceed the speed of ordinary travel. Z"

ASSESSORS AVOID A RAISE
Figures Returned for County Show Little
Change from Last Year.
INCREASE IN TOTAL DEPENDS ON BOARD
EauaIizers VIII Have TO Provide for
Additional Valuation ~ Any IL
to Appear on Tax List
= for This Year.

Employees OF the county tax department
have nearly completed footing the entries
In the books turned in by the assessors
and there has become even more apparent
than before the fact that II the totals In
valuation are to be materially greater than
last years the Board Of Equalization will
have to do the boosting.
Comparing the assessors returns for 1902,
which have Just been footed, with the 1901
assessment as corrected by the Board Of
Equalization, It is discovered that in all
the wards OF Omaha except the Sixth and
Seventh, which are not yet checked up, the
net increase on personal has been only
1891, 1853, and on lands SS4,Sb6, while on
lots II is not an Increase, but a decrease
Of S74,632, making the total net increase
in the seven wards assessed valuation only
1922, OS3.
For all the country precincts combined,
the increase on personal is 3 1870, on lands
S106, 21S and on lots $l4,129, the three
making a total OF S159, III.
Below is given a table secured at the
tax department, showing how these totals
are obtained. In the column of differences
the decreases are indicated by the minus
sign placed before the number. 1t may be
explained, also, that since the assessors
completed their work In 1901 the precinct
of West Omaha has been divided into the
two precincts, Benson and Dundee, and that
therefore in the table the West Omaha
total stands against the totals for Benson
and Dundee combined.

RECRUITS FOR THE NAVY
Omaha Called On to Supply the Men
Needed to Man Ships.
ALL GRADES OF SERVICE SEEK HELP
Policemen, Sailors, Mechanics and
Apprentices Are Being Enlisted
to Meet Demand occasiOned
by New vessels.

Long before the oficers in charge OF the
naval recruiting office which was opened
yesterday morning in the McCague building
could get their papers in shape there was a
crowd lined up for inspection, pending their
enlistment in the navy OF the United States.
The party, which is here for a week, con-
sists Of Lieutenant W. L. Littlefeld,
Surgeon James @. Field. Chief Boatswain
J. ]. KILN, Warrant Machinlst Frederick
Ruth, Chief Gunner's Mate Stanley Dan
ielak, Hospital Steward F. w. Hathaway,
Yeoman c. z. Parker, Hospital Apprentice
First Glass; W. J. Heinxel and Hospital
Apprentice H. r. Toomey. Three rooms on
the first floor of the McCague building have
been retained for the use Of the party. In
the central room there is a place for gem
eral reception, while the doctor occupies the
east room, and the west Is used as a private
office by the lieutenant In charge.
The demand of the navy at this time is
for 5000 men, and those desired from this
part Of the country include bakers. former
policemen, landsmen, apprentices and ordi-
nary seamen. The former policemen and
discharged non-commissioned officers Of
the army are to be used on board ship as
policemen, as the size Of the vessels and
the numbers in the crew make It necessary
to maintain an effective police force on
each of the modern fighting machines which
have taken the place OF the old men-of-war,
where the captain was chief Of police and
the boatswain, with such assistants as
could be called together on the spur Of the
moment, constituted the force when 1t was
deemed advisable to send one Of the crew
to prison. The official title of the police
man of the sea Is master-at-arms, and his
pay ranges from $40 to $50 per month.
Uncle Sam has placed a ban upon young
men between the ages Of II and IS years.
Between the ages of 15 and II he enlists
the boys as apprentices, pays them 50 per
month and keeps them on a training ship
until they are rated as seamen or landsmen,
when they are given place on the regular
vessels. Between the ages Of IS and %
years they are rated according to their
or trade, but from II to IS there is no place
In the navy for them, and when such a boy
applies ne Is told to wait a year. Machin-
lists and other men who have trades which
can be followed on board ship are taken to
the age Of 80 years.
The examination OF applicants for enlist
ment is ~stricter now than in previous
years and men and boys must be perfect
physically before they are accepted. Par
ticular attention Is paid to the teeth, as
men with poor teeth are considered unfit,
as defective mastieation Is held responsible
for much Of the disorders of the stomach
which occur with the sailors, especially
upon tropical stations.
From Omaha the party will go to Des
Moines. where 1t will open its once next
Monday.

Vexed Question.
MOUNT TAKES UP FIGHT FOR FlREMEN

Favor of JobbIng District
Fire. Protection.
MOUNT TAKES UP FIGHT FOR FlREMEN

Councilman Mount, who returned Monday
from his sheep ranch in Colorado, has pre-
pared a resolution resembling the concurrent
resolution passed two weeks ago by which
$4,000 was appropriated to build a part
or the Capitol avenue market house, and
will seek to have the greater part of this
money used in paying for the lot at Eleventh
and Jackson streets, upon which 1t is pro-
posed to erect a fine engine house. 1t is
supposed that Whitehorn and Karr will
work with him to this end
I'm going to make one more effort TO
have the council appropriate money to pay
for that lot" said the mayor yesterday.
at is something that needs immediate at
%tention, as we have already passed the time
limit OF our option, and there is nothing
to prevent the owners pocketing the 81, 900
the city paid to bind the bargain and sell
that lot to someone else. But this is not
the only argument in favor Of immediate
action. Under certain conditions. such as
would arise II two big fires occurred at the
same time in different parts of the city,
Omaha would be virtually without fire pro-
lection. We need 10000 feet more hose.
We have now only about $500 feet of mod
ern hose that will stand high pressure.
The greater part of the hose now in use
has seen all the way from ten to fifteen
years service, and the chief tells me that
IL it were called in from the outlying
engine houses by a down town fire and sub
jected to high pressure it would explode.
"Phere will be no money expended for the
Capitol avenue market house this year, and
IL an attempt is made to divert a part Of
the general fund to this purpose the work
will be enjoined. In condemning a part Of
Capitol avenue for this purpose the council
has exceeded it's authority, which caves a
loophole for the work to be tied up in It'll
CATION"
Councilman Trostler will make another
attempt to work his gas lamp resolution
through the council. He wants 100 street
lamps in addition to those now in use and is
trying to demonstrate that there will be
enough money in the lighting fund to pay
for them. His resolution does not seem TO
be popular and will no doubt meet with a
strenuous opposition.

ANOTHER IMPROVEMENT.
Chicago, Boston and New York
Travel,

On and after JUNE 18th. the Erie Rail-
road will still further improve their Bos-
ton and New York service by offering to
the public a handsome limited train to
leave Chicago from Dearborn Station every
day at 1890 a. M, arriving in New York
next afternoon at $3.50 and Boston at 9
o'clock.
There is no doubt that this service will
bel highly patronized. as this new train
will land the traveller In New York City
IN ample time 10 permit him to proceed
leisurely to his hotel or home. rest, dress,
dine and spend the evening In whatever
manner may appeal to him most.

made by the board. The former was
81, 217, O14 and the assessor betterel It by
1888, 742 this year, but he is still s1s6.042

without reason, It is said, the assessors
have left the assessing Of the banks to the

ATTACKS | COMPLAINT
Attorney for Alleged EmbezEIer
Make Motion for Dismissal
of Case.

In the trial of Martin Rowley. charged
with embezzling s4.sOO from Armour & Co.
by false checks. the principal development
OF yesterday was the motion OF defendants
attorney after the states evidence was all
in TO dismiss on the ground that the COM
plant was defective because there could
be no forgery OF the name Of a man who
does not exist, which Rowley was accused
Of doing. The court overruled the motion
and the defense then prepared to attack
the complaint on other technical grounds.
The evidence introduced during the morning
contained nothing new.

FORTY PER CENT VALUATION.
Important Correction to Article or
Railroad Taxation.

The bulletin published under authority
Of the Railroads OF Nebraska In the Bee
Of Monday morning contained an error
made by the Bee.
A clause OF q sentence in the following
paragraph was omitted. The paragraph
as it should read appears below:
$50 In the same estimates or testimony
relating to the Union Pacific line from
Kearney to the Wyoming state line, which
comprises over one-half OF the mileage
across the state. the testimony shows that
the assessed valuation Of $4,000 per mile
through those counties represents about
40 per cent Of all tangible property of the
railroad on that section Of the line. It
is, however, incorrect and misleading TO
state that any single portion OF the road
either in Douglas county or In Cheyenne
or Kimball counties is assessed at 50, SOC

COURT HAS ENDLESS VISION
in the Gordon salary
Case.

It was the year 1000 A. D. There were
new cars on the Dodge line and the Audi
