AUTOMOBILE CLUB TURNS OUT ,

running horseless vehicles scud by in a

and we'll. there being not a moments delay
from start to finish, and no throwing up
of hands because Of a stubborn "balk."
The first run Of the club was in every
way a success. About s o'clock the autos
started out, all types and sizes, all makes

Episcopal Confession of Faith Again

OMAHA, June Ito the Editor Of The
Bee: May have the privilege Of cor
recting, for the sake OF General Mander-
son himself, the error attributed to him
by your reporter at the banquet the other
evening. l am quite directly informed
that the generals ecclesiastical training
in his youth and his memory OF that train
ing were such as to utterly preclude the
possibility OF his falling into the error OF
sttributing to the Episcopal church or to
any confession OF faith possible for It, a
declaration as TO the bishop OF Rome, which
II would deem to be utterly alien 10 every
thing rightly belonging TO a Christian
creed. While ! thought this to be the case
when I wrote my former letter, l did not
OF course know that IL was. and so / felt
II due to the Episcopal church to correct
an error that would lead poorly Informed
people to think that the Anglican church
allowed ecclesiastical passion TO get the
better OF its Christian reason, to put in its
creed what could properly be no part OF
the Christian faith. AS for what / said
about the possible effect OF his after dinner
surroundings upon General Manderson's
memory, OF course that was a mere pleas
antry. a jest, not 50 much on the general
himself as upon the staid character Of the
ecclesiastical banquet. where he was an
honored guest, though not more hOnored
than he is in the hearts Of all his towns
men. I would have loved to have seen
every possible risk OF after dinner tempta-
tion at that banquet myself. and would
have seen It had l been able 20 accept the

Somewhere In Omaha yesterday George

lover. In another part OF the city James

Whether ANA should become Mrs. Hen
derson or remain Miss Wren was decided
by the two men in front Of the Dellone ho-
tel yesterday morning by a setto. which
was prevented from being serious in a
physical way by Chief Clerk johnson, who
separated the men. The verdict was In
favor of the father.
Henderson and Miss Wren came to Omaha
yesterday morning and went to the Dellone
hotel. where they registered under their
own names, from Kansas City, and took
breakfast. Immediately after break

Valuations placed on other property. The assessment
made at that time was only fair to the companies and
put them back near to where they should have been
placed.
However, the local asses sors continued ia reduce the
valuation on lands, lots and personal property, untl 1898,
the railroads were again paying twenty-five per cent
more tax than they, under the constitution and law,
should be required to do.
Since 1898 the local assessors have increased the vRlua-
ton a little, but as was shown In a former advertise
ment, the railroads were assessed Nl69 per mile more
value than they should have been In 1900, and are still
paying more than their fair portion Of taxes.
During the years OF hard times in Nebraska the
railroads accepted this injus tice and paid the taxes
charged, hoping by the assistance thus rendered the
poorer counties Of the state to tide over the unfor-
tunate condition of affairs, and in many instances they
paid the tax charged while their stockholders got moth

were not paving their Just portion of tax, but when the
facts have been laid before them they i'm each instance,
irrespective OF party, respected their oath and went no
further in taxing the railroad than they could go and
still in their conscience believe that they were giving that
equality in taxation guaranteed under our constitution.

From this statement it WIN be seen that the railroad

personal property has decreased II per cent in that
any increase whatever .is. in the Item OF lands. which
shows an increase of Z $40 per cent.
However. we give here a statement Of the increase
in quantities assessed In the following. items reported
in 1899 and 1901: which should, be considered along with
these apparent increases and decreases In assessment:

6032 miles railroad 6,T2 miles railroad 10
Now, how are all these decreases and variations in
assessment brought about? In 1898 and 1894 the assessors
through the various counties SO materially reduced the
assessment of lands, lots and personal property that the
railroad valuations given by the Board Of Equalization
in prior years was away above that figure which would
obtain an equality in taxation with other property.
Owing to the popular cry of increased assessment
Of railroad corporations, the Board OF Equalization was
deferred from materially reducing the same in 1894, and
in that year the railroads paid practically twenty-five
per cent more tax than the y in justice should have
done.
No one accused Governor Holeomb Of being any more
friendly TO the railroad corporations than the law would
require him. to be, but in 1895 the presentation was made
to the board in such a manner that a material reduc-
ton was made in the assessment of the railroads In Ne
