OMAHA REALTY INCREASES
valus, 60 Up One Million, si1 Hundred
Thousand DOllaru.
HEAVY GAINS EXPECTED FROM COUNTRY
Assessors FiEures show Valuation in
the City Of UnimprOved Real
Estate of Eleven NIL
lion Dollars.

An increase Of over 100000 In the value
Of real estate in the city Of Omaha for the
last year is shown by the returns Of pre-
clnot assessors which have just been tabu-
lated by County Assessor Reed. This in
crease represents the value of new build
ings erected during the year as the valua-
ton of unimproved real estate is changed
only once In four years.
The returns from the country precincts
have not been totaled yet, but Mr.. Reed
estimates they will show an increase in
the neighborhood of $4,000. The returns
from South Omaha, Florence and Dundee
all show Increases due to the new buildings
that have been erected during the year.
The figures of the assessor show a valua-
ton in the city of unimproved real estate
Of tl1964.SS5 and Of improved 15ses4,75O. a
total valuation OF t7i,2i9. 6S5. Last year the
assessors return 10 the Board Of Equaliza-
tion was as follows; Unimproved, ST.
7s2.s6O; improved, $50, 20; a total of $780,
sos. AS. This total was cut down somewhat
by the Board Of Equalization. The de-
crease in the valuation OF unimproved prop
erty is due to the transfers from that class
TO the improved class due to building on
lots which were formerly vacant
The increase is made up to a great extent
Of the large business buildings that have
been erected during the year. Among those
included In this years assessment which
were not assessed last year are these:
Crane building, part of the Hoagland
building, the Independent elevator, Crowell
elevator. Merriam q Holmdulst elevator,
Alien Bros. building, American Radiator
building, the Creighton building to be occu-
pied by the John Deere Pillow company, the
Creamery Package Manufacturing company
building.
In addition 10 these there have been a
large number of fats put up which have
added materially to the valuation. The
rest OF the valuation Is made up Of smaller
business buildings and residences.
The assessors force Is nov at work tabu-
lating the real estate valuations for the
country precincts and the personally for
the city.

AS she will have to stand trial, Mrs
Hayes has absolutely refused to undergo
an operation for the recovery of the jewel

was given in consideration of a promise OF
immunity from prosecution in case she
returned the gem.

Petitions Heard by Committee on Pub
 lic Lighting.
 A number of petitions were heard by the aldermanio committee on public lighting at hearing held last night J J, Sullivan and MT. Sarrar appeared in favor of placing an electric arc light on Willow street ct the junction of Nash street. There was no opposition
 John T. Fletcher appeared before the committee and spoke in favor of re- moving the arc light on State street street. The petition encountered much opposition. Those who were present and objected to the move were Edward ! Maroney, Alderman James Deyine, s. P. Well, J, Daley and w. ] Cronan.
 These men contended that the light would benefit the greater number of people if left in its present position. They admitted that the residents of Eld street needed light, but said that they should petition for a new one, and not for the removal of an old one. It was claimed by Mr. Fletcher that the bill board at the corner of State and Ed street shut off the light from the latter street, which 1t was originally intended should be lighted by this arc. The opponents of the petition did moi deny this, but said that the board was nuisance that should be abated.
 John T. Shuster appeared before the board and asked that light be placed at the junctio nof East and State streets.
 The committee will hold an execu- tive session next week.

Mrs. Case says that she tried to prevent the Doyle woman from jumping out of the win dow and tore her clothes in the att tempt. After jumping out of the win dow the Doyle woman climbed over a fence and finally fell exhausted in the alley between the Lennox house and the German church on George street. She was taken to the hospital in the police ambulance
 Mrs. Case gave a detailed account of her troubles with her husband since he met the Doyle woman. Case met the latter in an Auburn restaurant, where she was waitress, last April. Since that time he has entirely neglected his | family, which consists of his wife, q boy six years old and younger girl. Mrs. Case said she found the two occu- pying rooms together in Brooklyn. She went to the house with her children and refused to leave. The five persons lived there together for some time, and Mrs. Case earned portion of the mon- ey used in their support.
 Later Case and the Doyle woman cleared out and Mrs. Case learned that they were in this city. She followed them up, and had an interview with Captain Cowles early yesterday after noon. He told her that if she obtained | a warrant for her husbands arrest
 from the city attorney he would sent detectives out to arrest Case. He alsC told her to keep away from the couple

 MT. Hughes made a special plea for the democratic votes. He said In this connection: "The political eockroaches and Croton bugs of the democratic party are not those with whom the re- publicans are ashamed to associate in this campaign"

The warrant was obtained. Mrs. Case, however made a house can vass on Meadow street in an effort to locate Case and the Doyle woman. After knocking on several doors she finally came to one where her knock was answered by Kittie Doyle herself. Mrs. Case forced her way into the room and locked the door. A wordy conver- satIon ensued and was followed by blows.
 Mrs. Case admits having hit the Doyle woman in the mouth and knock ing out a number of her teeth. The Doyle woman became crazed and start ed for the window. Mrs. Case says she tried to stop her, but could not.
 Case was not present at the time, but turned up later, ignorant of what had happened, to find Detectives Dorman Dunlap and Ward awaiting him. He gave his occupation as that of sales man.

So Kent Club Decided in Debate Last
 Night.
 The Kent club of the Yale Law school had a very successful meeting last night The question for debate was,-
 Resolved That the state constitution be so amended as to allow entire free dom in home rule to the municipalities. The speakers were: Affirmative, B, I. Kamen, 1907 Ben. Lyons, 1908, and neg ative. Ferdinand D'Ssopo, 1907; Wm. J. McKenna, 190S
 B. J. Kamen, 1907, of New Haven, in speaking for the affirmative, pointed out the evil of the legislators from the numerous small towns voting upon i'm provements that a large city wishes to bring about. The citizens of a city are the ones who know the needs of their city, and should be the ones to decide. Ferdinand D'Esopo, 1907, of Hartford for the negative, said that 1t Is neces- sary for unihcation in government for tho state to have general control of the cities
 Ben. H Lyons, 1908, of Thomaston, Conn. for the affirmative, argued for home rule, on the ground that autono- my is necessary to give the best re- suits, and to abolish present legislative evils in the matter of municipal af- fairs He described European non-par- tisan scientific government, which has come into existence only comparatively recently.
 William J. McKenna, 1908, of New Haven. for the negative said that such a change would abolish our republican form of government, and abolish oul legislature, leaving nothing for 1t to do.
 The judges decided in favor of the negative.
