pendent producers because the rate beyond
Kansas prohibited It, but If the Kansas
maximum freight rate was extended into
other states, there would be a good market
for ell the oil Kansas could produce.
Mr.. Stannsrd gave his experiences with
the railroads in shipping oil in his own
tank cars. He said his cars were side
tracked and lost and burst by heavy switch
ing. He said. however, that he did not be-
lieve the railroad officials sanctioned this
sort Of work.

STANDARD OIL refinery at Sugar Creek. told
OF the production at that point and Of the
prices secured for the products Of OIL
@. W. Mayer, manager OF the Standard
Oil company at Kansas City, was recalled
and denied positively that he-had sent f.
NJ. Wilihoyt, formerly agent for the Stand
ard at Topeka, and now an independent
oil refiner at Joplin and Springfield, Mo, a
check with which to bride railroad employees
in order to secure information regarding
the shipments OF oil by independent COM
panies.
II. B. Scott. until recently a director OF
the Prairie Oil and Gas company, a branch
OF the Standard company. but who is now
in business for himself, hesitated IN an
swering several questions. This brought
forth rebuke from Commissioner Coskrell
who said sharply: 1T is useless for.the
Standard OF company to attempt to con

DIES MONIES, March H-(Special.)-
Those interested In getting the child labor
bill through believe that the house will
not accept the amendments made by the
senate and that the measure will have
to 60 to a conference committee. This
will be the first measure this session on
which 1t was necessary TO appoint con-
ference committees II this proves true.
Usually there are a number by this time
in the session. The changes in the bill
made, in the senate deal chiefly with the
enforcement provisions. On the age OF
the children to be protected, the hours
7ef employment and such provisions, the
senate and house will essfly get together.
The house is in favor OF more drastic
measure as to the PROVISIONS OF the en-
forcement than the senate,
For TwO-Year Terms.
The action OF the house In making the
terms OF the railroad commissioners three
years is looked upon by members as a
forecast that the terms Of county ofhcers

the officers confronted him with such over
whelming evidence that he broke down

luctant TO give up the damaging state

of all, gave a graphic account of the
shooting OF Conductor Edward FURY at
the end OF the Albright car line.
There is an advertising sign just south OF

II was found that when the officers went
to search the house where VAIN was sup

hidden under the bed on which his wife and
his mother pretended to be asleep. The
police have taken up the ingenious alibi
| which the negroes had put up and which
they had been preparing even before the
crime had been committed. and one after
another of the statements made were
provd 10 he absolutely false. One of these
statements was that VAIN had passed the
night at the house OF Walton colored
man OF Omaha. Walton stuck to his story
until he was arrested and threatened with
the penitentiarS for perjury, when he de-
clared that VAIN had last been at his
house the morning before the robbery and
that he had passed the night previous to
the robbery In his house. The contention
of Mrs. Walton was also broken down in
| the same way, so that the case now stands
as clear as any case ever stood even with
out the evidence OF Flury.
Clarence Gathright is a short medium

Assessors from All Over County
Were Instructed by New

Special to the EVENING NEWS !:

NEW BRUNSWICK, July 3.-The
County Board of Tax Equalization,

The Perth Amboy assessors, |. T.
Golding, ]. II. Poulson and Frank
Neer were all here.
Mr.. Haney addressed the assess
ors and said that property is to be
assessed at it's full value and not at
80, so or so per cent, as has been
done in many places in the past. The
value, he said, should be fixed at
what the property would bring at
private sale A good way to reach
the value would be. to fix it at what
would be considered the right price
If it were to be sold by a man not
particularly anxious to sell it, and
to man not over anxious to buy it,
continued Mr.. Haney
Assessor Poulson, of Perth Am
boy, asked how they could tell whe-
ther a house were worth $4,000 or
$4,000, as the exterior might lcok ex-
cellent, while the interior might be
cheap.
The assessors were told to use
their own judgment.
The county board will visit every
taxing district in the county during
the next three weeks.
On the first Tuesday of August the
assessors of every riace in The county
will turn over their books 20 the
county board. ana on the second
Tuesday in August they will meet
here to fix the tax rate.

average price paid for land at Run
yon was but 500 an acre.
Without any hesitation whatever,
the vice chancellor granted the order
holding up the proceedings until an
Investigation could be made.
A notice of the stay has been serv-
ed upon Adam Eckert, clerk of the
Water Board
The action of the Water Board in
buying this land from Asoury Fonn-
tain is recent history. It is claimed
that the city needs the tract to COM
plete it's water shed, but Asbury
Fountain held out for the big price
and the water board, Dy vote of 4
to 1, Commissioner Voorhees, being
in the negative, agreed to pay the
amount.
The NEWS showed thar the price
was enormous, that tne land was not
needed at once, that the city already
had the right to food it and that the
city could have Sc cured the tract by
condemnation proceedings. The mat
ter has been the subject of much con-
VerSatlOn since.
1t was shown that the city did not
know how much land 1t. was secur-
ing for $15,500; that a survey was
made to ascertain this after the ST.
900 had been paid down.
The deal is now taken out of the
hands of the water board, and further
negotiations must wait until tile court
has decided the questions brought be-
fore it.
