COMES AS FRIEND OF COURT
Attorney Baldwin Files Brief in Railroad
Assessment Mandamus Case.
EXPLAINS ABOUT THE TWO ANSWERS
Says First Was Made in Good Faith
and Attorneys who Made IL Did
Not Appreciate It's
Legal Eject.
CFrom a staff Correspondent

LINCOLN, June 27.-(Special Telegram.)
John N. Baldwin, Union Pacific attorney,
late this afternoon filed in the supreme
court an extensive brief in the mandamus
case OF The Bee Building company against
the State Board of Equalization. Explain
ing his appearance, Mr.. Baldwin says:
The undersigned. an attorney law
gratefully appreciating the permission OF
this court to be heard with reference to
the questions involved in this cause, files
this brief as a friend of the court"
The document is in response to the brief
filed recently by E. w. Simeral for The
Bee Building company. In commenting OF
the two answers of the board II is urged
that the first answer was undoubtedly made
in good faith. but without a clear under
standing Of the legal effect" and that it
stated conclusions merely and not the
facts.
Mr.. Baldwin next attacks the character OF
the relator's brief and insists that It should
receive the condemnation of the court, the
objection being to Mr.. Simerals discussion
of the boards two answers.
It is alleged that in assessing the railroad
property the board necessarily assessed
both the tangible and intangible. 1t is
also contended that the mandamus will not
lie in this case because the Board Of Equal
ization is clothed with discretionary and
quasi judicial powers and has already acted.

CAPTAIN STEELE ON STAND
Tells what He Knows to Beard Rel
ative 20 Alleged Cruelty
in Philippines.

MANILA. June 27.-Captain NJ. W. Steele,
Of the Sixth cavalry testified today before
the board which is inquiring into the charges
Of cruelty, etc, brought by Major Cornelius
Gardener, governor of Taybas province
against American officers and soldiers. He
said he left Taybas in 1901, at which time he
did not consider the province pacifed or
tranquilized,
The witness was in Major Gardeners regl-
ment, the Thirtieth Volunteer infantry. At
that time no American dared go through
the town unguarded. He said that acting
under Major Gardeners orders and after
protesting, he placed the principal residents
Of Lucban under guard during the vote for
the local president and that they com
planned bitterly of the action taken. Wit
ness left them and when he returned he
found they had voted for a criminal who
was in Jail. He told them they must elect
another man. The witness believed they
voted for the men they most hated The
man elected president protested and re-
quested to be relieved, but was compelled
under threat Of being put in the guard
house to accept the office. Continuing Cap
tain Steele said that among his brother
officers Major Newberry. formerly of the
Thirtieth Volunteer regiment, who testified
before the board on Wednesday was reputed
to have used a perfectly INSCRIPTIONS
method OF obtaining Information from ma
tives. Once the witness asked him II he
had killed five natives with his own hand
and got the understanding that he had killed
several men with his Mauser pistol Wit
moss did not ask the reason for this and
was not prepared to say that Newberry had
actually killed them, but that was wit
ness impression. He thought Il was Major
Gardeners policy TO get a form Of govern
ment that the province was not ready for It.
Major Gardener then testified as to his
policy in dealing with the natives Of Taya-
bas, saying 1t was what he understood was
Wsr tfl.j;com1w HR ORD LID d DDDDL
desired by the authorities at Washington,
namely to erase from the minds OF the
peacefully inclined the fears they enter
tanned of soldiers and to show them where
they were wrong, in the meanwhile pursu-
ing the hostile natives With relentless ac-
tivity.
The major introduced documents, includ-
ing a report OF General Theodore Schwan,
commanding him (Gardener) and the Thir-
tieth regiment of Volunteers.
