EQUALIZATION BOARD ACTS
Protests on sewer Assessments Oc-
cupy Most of the Time
of Session.

After remaining In session for the three
days required by law the city council at
8 O'Clock yesterday afternoon closed up the
business OF it's third quarterly meeting OF
the year as the board OF equalization.
The most vigorously urged protest TO
come up for consideration was against the
sewer in district 272. located on Twelfth
street and running north from William
street. The petition in opposition to this
Improvement was signed by twelve Of the
property owners affected. f.. J. Cornish
appeared on behalf OF the petitioners and
stated as the cause Of objection that the
property on the west side OF Twelfth street
was so low as to make the sewer of no
beneht to the property owners there and
the land on the east side Of the street 80
high that the houses there could not be con-
neoted with the sewer without expense
greater than the value Of the lots. Beside.
and most important of all that there was
no water on the street and no immed' ate
prospect Of water being put In, and as long
as there was no water the sewer would be
OF, no service and consequently of no benefit.
1t was suggested by Councilman Hascall
that in some respects the Assessment as
made was not entirely equitable and there
fore the plan OF assessment was rejected
and. referred back to the engineering de-
partment for correction. In the meantime
an effort will be made to have water put In
on Twelfth street at that point.
A protest from John B.. Viau against the
assessment In sewer district 274, Eigh zenith
street, from CASTELAR, to Chicago streets,
on the ground that there was no water on
the street, was o~verruled and the plan Of
assessment approved.
By reason Of a protest from Joseph
Valeshek the plan of assessment for the
sewer on South Fourteenth street from
Phelps street south was rejected. Mr..
Valeshek's reason for Directing to the as
sessmen was that the sewer only extended
in front Of half Of the frontage Of one Of his
lots and he felt that the one lot in question
should not be assessed, as the situation was
such that 1t could not be connected with the
ever, and in case the sewer should be at
any time extended the lot would again b.
assessed for the extension to the full extent
Of its frontage. This objection was re-
garded by the board as reasonable.
The other plans Of assessment already
enumerated in detail in The Bee were all
approved and a report in consonance with
the action was adopted by the board.

ARGUMENT In STEEL CASE
views 70 vice Chancellor
Emery.

NEWARK, n. j., Sept. 11-Frank Bergen
Of, counsel for J. Aspinwall Hodge and other
stockholders Of the United States Steel cor
pJration, who are seeking by injunction to
restrain the retirement Of $500, 100000 Of
the company's preferred stock and the issue
CT $3.50, 600, 900 bonds, resumed his argument
in favor OF an Injunction before Vice Chan
CT llor Emery today.
Mr.. Bergen declared that the valuation Of
the steel corporations properties was ex-
cessive and that not a SINCE afhdavit had
been produced to show In detail that the
va, uation was not inflated. He claimed
that the afndavit Of James II. Lancaster as
10 details had not teen contradicted, al
lhough an ahhdavit in answer had been hled
by George w. Perkins of J. p. Morgan &
&C.
Richard v. Lindabury followed for the
defendant corporation. In beginning his
argument, he said thai he defendants
would not take up the fundamental ques-
ton as to the power Of the United States
steel corpoi alton to retire the preferred
stock in the manner proposed. The appeal
IN the Bergen case, now under advisement
IN the court Of errors, and other appeals
covered the points arising under that in
curry. 1t was to be assumed that the court,
II - bhi NVNANN NAV RANN
a decision is reached before the appellate
court. would follow the previous decision in
The Bergen case.
The only question to which the def ndants
would address themselves on the argument
Of the merits would be as to the validity
Of the synd cate contract with J. p. Morgan
q Co. That contract, Mr.. Lindabury said.
was unavoidable by stockholders.
The complainants, he declared, seemed
to rely upon the personal interest Of the
directors as a ground for the avoidance Of
contract. Irrespective Of the intrinsic fair
ness OF the transaction and despite the fact
that the stockholders, with full knowledge
Of all the details of the plan, including the
interest Of directors, approved It by more
than a two-thirds vote Of all the capital
stock, in strict accordance with article Il,
section 9. Of the bylaws, which was SUBJ
mitted to them.

FoMENT TROUBLE WITH MoRoS
F1ipinos Circulate False Stories and
Some Chiefs Inclined to
Fight.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-Manila papers
received at the War department today con-
tain reports from Mindanao regarding the
Moro problem, showing what the various
%sultans and dsttos are doing, together with
correspondence that has passed and CONVEX
sations thai have occurred between army
officers commanding in that island and diff
ferent chiefs.
1t appears that the Moro chiefs were in
formed by Filipinos from Luzon that Rus
STA and Spain were at war with the United
S ates. One Of the s~ultans. when asked
why he would not be on friendly terms with
the United States authorities, said that the
Moros were all under the direction of the
sultan OF Stamboul, and they had been in
formed that there was enmity between the
sultan Of STEAMBOAT and the United States
government.
Captain Pershing, in command Of the cav
airy, told him that this was entirely a mis-
take. Another datto made the claim that the
Moros away had been in undisturbed pos
session Of the Lake Lane country, and that
even the Spaniards never had attempted TO
Interfere with them, and they did not want
the Americans to do so.
There had been considerable friendly
correspondence with the sultan Of Bacolod,
but finally a very unfriendly letter was re-
celved from him, warlike In tone, which
greatly surprised the American officers.
From another Moro chief the Americans
were Informed that the ugly letter was a
forgery perpetrated by two Of the dattos un-
der the sultan Of Bacolod. These dattos
were very anxious for war, one Of them
claiming that he could hold his fort against
any force that might be sent against It. The
var party was stronger than the peace
party and was haunting the Moros who
wanted to be on peaceful terms with the
Americans by calling them towards.
The Filipino insurgent. Rufino, was found
to be in the region making trouble for the
Americans.
In another communication from the Moro
country 1t is stated that Colonel Baldwin
tried to get all the sultans and dattos to
meet him In a friendly conference. The
sultan Of Bacolod professed friendship, but
asked for three months in which to COM
municate with the various tribes over which
he was chief. Moros in the camp OF Colonel
Baldwin said that this was simply a ruse to
gain further time and prepare for war.

Plan TO settle strike.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept. 1.-THE confer
ence committee Of the Peoples alliance, APP
pointed at their convention at Hazleton
last Thursday, appeared before Governor
Stone this afternoon and submitted a plan
for effecting a settlement of the anthracite
coal strike. Their plan consists Of calling
an extra session OF the legislature to enact
laws for compulsory arbitration, better
contrn1 nf fcraipu pnrnOratiOua doinp btfsf-
ness in Pennsylvania and enforcing the
sixteenth and seventeenth articles Of the
constitution.
Article sixteen makes it unlawful for any
operator or superintendent to employ any
person as fire boss who has not obta ned
a certificate Of company. and article seven
teen prohibits any boy under twelve years
of age or a woman from working in a coal
mine and also prohibits a boy under six
teen years Of age from mining or loading
coal.
Daniel ]. Mccarthy Of Hazleton said the
alliance represented the business people Of
the coal districts and that its purpose was
to secure a settlement ofsthe strike. There
was no sign Of a settlement and the only
hope Of bringing about an end to the strike
is an extra session of the legislature for
the enactment Of the legislation that will
end the present strike and prevent strikes
In the future.
Mr.. Mccarthy suggested that if an extra
session Ia held some action should he
taken to curb the great foreign corpora
tions which are doing business in Pennsyl-
vania. He attacks the beef trust, the steel
trust and other large corporations because
Of the alleged high prices which they
charge for their products.
