RYAN RESEMBLES MURDERER
Police Suspect that Man Held for Larceny
is Charles Thompson,
RECALLS KILLING OF WILLIAM NESTLE
old Omcers May Identify Dan Ryan as
one of Principals in Murder
Committed Thirteen
Years Ago.

II the suspicious which now rest against
him prove to be true-and the officers state
that there is every reason to believe that
they have not miscalculated-Dan ]. Ryan,
who was bound over to the district court
for robbing Benjamin Bahnsen, may be held
on a charge Of murder, from which he is
supposed to nave fed about thirteen years
ago. Captain Haze, Sergeant Havey and the
older members Of the police and detective
forces state that Ryan bears strong resem-
blance to Charles Thompson, who committed
murder here and then fed.
The murder was the result Of a burglary
which was committed in 1890 in a store on
Thirteenth street by Thompson and a pal
named Reynolds. They had rihed the store
and were making their escape down the
alley from Thirteenth to Fourteenth. be-
tween Farnam and Harvey streets, when
they we're discovered and chased by will
liam Nestle. who was employed as a clerk
in the store they had robbed. Thompson
made his escape by shooting Nestle in the
stomach. Reynolds was captured, tried and
sentenced to seven years in the p~eniten-
tiary, but was pardoned before he served
his time.
Thompson Was Never Found.
From the night Of the burglary until yes
terday not one word has ever been heard
concerning Thompson. Though a vigilant
search was maintained by the Omaha police
to locate him, he succeeded in eluding
them. Two days after the shooting
Nestle died in the police station, which
was then located on Davenport street.
The prisoner who is now suspected gave
the officers the name Of Dan ]. Ryan when
he was arrested. 1t was remembered that
Thompson had an alias similar to that Of
the prisoner and he was closely questioned.
He admitted having been here some years
ago, about the time the murder was COM
mitted. Ryan says his age is about AZ,
which would be that of Thompson, and that
he has been working on the railroad as a
graveler.
Captain Haze and Detective Savage are
certain that Ryan is Thompson and are
searching the gallery of the police depart
ment for ~Thompson's mug" and also his
record. If he proves to be the man wanted
he will be held for trial on the charge Of
murder.

EQUALIZATION BOARD BEGINS
Receives Complaints on Railroad Assess
ments from Real Estate Exchange.
SETS FRIDAY AS TIME TOR HEARING
Complainant Forces Issue by insist
ing tina Valuations on Rail-
roads Fixed by Board of
Review Are Too Low.

With very punctilious observance Of all
legal formalities the city council organized
yesterday for the performance Of its du-
ties as a board Of equalization. After the
election OF President Karr Of the council to
%oficiate as chairman Of the board the notice
OF this sitting and the afhdavits OF publica-
tion for the required time in the official
newspapers we're read and ordered spread
upon the records. Councilman Hoye was
unable to be present by reason of illness
ana Councilman Trostler was excused from
continued attendance for similar cause, but
the other members were all present.
The principal feature Of the morning ses-
sion was the filing on behalf Of the Real Es-
tate exchange of remonstrances against the
assessments of the railroad companies on
the ground that they are too low as fixed
by the Board of Review. These remon-
strances are made in the name OF George
T. Morton, by ]. H. Mcintosh as attorney,
as in the proceedings before the Board of
Review.
In these petitions each class Of the prop
erty Of the particular railroad company in
question is reviewed separately as TO its
cost, utility and value, and the action Of
the Board Of Review is set forth with the
statement that the figures as fixed by that
body are less than the true value Of the
property and the request that the assess
ment be raised to a sum which is specified.

In the case OF the Union Pacific Railroad
company the petitioner asks that the ag-

turned by the Board Of Review be raised

posed increase on each Of the items men

Statement of an Operator.

"There is to be a meeting Of the miners
January 10 to fix the wages for the next
year" said one Of the members Of the COM
pany, land for this reason the miners de-
sire to have a shortage in the supply and
very high prices for coal, 80 that they can
use the condition to force higher wages.
II is generally understood that there viii
be a demand for an advance In wages on
both time and piecework OF about 20 per
cent in the states Of Ohio, Illinois. Penn

states for wages, and IL is almost conceded
that the miners will be given an increase

PUTS BLAME ON THE MINERS
Coal Dealer Says Men Refused to Wsrk
During Christmas Week.
GIVES REASON FOR PRESENT SHORTAGE
that Miners Desire Small Out
put and High Prices 10 Help
Them in for In
crease of Wages.

The warmer weather Of yesterday is
the only thing which in any way relieved
the local fuel situation, as receipts of coal
for the last twenty-four hours have been
so small as to have little effect. The few
coal Offices pretending to fill orders are so
far behind with their work that It is al
most impossible to get any coal delivered
until next week.
The dealers attribute the present short
age to the refusal of the miners in the ter
ritory which supplies Omaha with soft coal
to work during the holiday week. One
company, operating its own mines, reports
that during the week of Christmas three
days were absolutely lost by the refusal OF
the miners to work, and considerable timo
was lost the following week. The manager
Of this company estimates that In the states
Of Iowa, Missouri and Kansas the failure
Of the miners to work produced a shortage
Of many thousand cars, which, coming with
an unusual heavy demand for soft coal in
the east, has made the shortage on the
local market.

THAT ARIzoNA TERRITORY.

A LMOST THE FIRST official action
n Of Congressman Howell was the
presentation of a memorial from the
Utah legislature praying the enactment
OF such legislation as viii take from
Arizona the territory north OF the Col
orado river contiguous to Utah and give
ii TO this state. We are further told
that Congressman Howell and Senator
Eearns are now engaged i'm framing
bin which. if passed, viii bring about
this result.
Congress undoubtedly has the power
To take the action suggested and,
though The Herald would not work any
hardship on the territory Of Arizona, IL
is TO be hoped that the proposed bin
win speedily become a law. Before il
does become q law. however. we may
expect great deal OF vigorous opposi-
ton from our Arizona friends. though
why they should want the little strip
of ground desired by Utah # is difficult
to saw
The land is cut off from Arizona by
an fmpassab bic canyon. To reach it die
rect from the territory it would be nee
essary TO have a flying machine. on
the other hand. on that is necessary for
a traveller to do to get from Utah into
this particular section Of Arizona Is to
step across an imaginary line. The
ground is Of no earthly use TO Arizona
It would De of a great deal Of benefit to
Utah.
Last winter. # VIII be remembered.
the Utah legislature sent commissioners
% treat with Arizona's territorial leg
fslature and council They were re-
ce!ved courteously enough, but the
mention of their errand brought upon
them whoops of derision. The Arizona
lawmakers seemed TO labor under the
impression that every foot Of the land
in question is studded with gold quartz
and other mineral wealth of inestima-
bic value. This is not true, Of course
but it would be difficult to convince
arizona OF the fact.
And suppose there are a few good
prospects in this section? If there are
any they are open 10 the exploitation
Of citizens of Arizona just as much as
10 the citizens OF Utah. There is the
objection from Arizona that the taxing
values of the territory would Doe re-
duced by the cession Of the strip, but
this item IS hardly important enough
TO merit consideration.

siGon of the land by Utah rs not the

HIGHER PRICES EoR coal.

WHAT IS THE CONSUMER going
" TO do about the arbitrary in
crease I'm the price Of coal, an in
crease out of all proportion to the in
crease in miners wages on which it
is based2 Yesterday readers of The
Herald were informed Of a meeting held
by the coal dealers Of the city at which
it was agreed to raise the price of
their commodity by at least 10 per cent.
lt may be that the rate viii be even
higher. and the consumer must pay the
bill
Coal is one Of the necessities of life.
No necessity, other than food, is more
absolute. Tt IS impossible to live I'm
the winter season without coal. We
must have warm houses, we must have
warm food. II the dealers should in
crease the price to $40 we would still
Doe obliged TO purchase coal. and they
know St. True. such an increase as
the one indicated would necessitate the
cutting Off Of other expenses, and fl
81 very hard to cut expenses any
further, for the reason that they are
NOW cut TO the lowest possible limit,
almost.
And it should be understood that the
responsibility for the increase does not
lie with the local dealers, but with
the mine owners. Lately they have in
creased the pay Of their miners. Of
course they, being poor men and pow
erty stricken corporations. could not
afford to sustain any reduction in
their profits. That would be entirely
too much for as to expect. Individual
and corporate mine operators never
have been noted for philanthropy and
never VIII be.
They increased the price to the retail
ers the retailers pass the raise along
20 the consumers. That is. the peo-
pie who can least afford to pay the
bin are the people who must pay the
bill. And yet there is 10 real good
reason why coal should cost even as
much as So a ton in Salt Lake City.
We have coal fin abundance practically
AT our very doors. The railroad haul
SIS Insignificant as compared with the
distance coal IS hauled to other cities
Nevertheless, the freight rates are
such as 90 make it impossible to re-
tail coal in salt Lake city at a profit
lor less than s. ton. and now we viii
be obliged to pay more. Why? Be
cause coal is a necessity. II we didn't
have TO have coal any more than we
haye to have, say, ice cream freezers,
.oal would retail I'm salt Lake city for
not TO exceed 81 "a TON There is M
getting around this proposition.
