MANY WILLING TO BE JURORS
Generous Response TO Call Issued by
Judge Scars for Vol
uufeera

, Judge Sears issued a call for volunteers
Tuesday morning and much to the surprise
OF all there was a liberal response. 1t was
not a call for soldiers. but for jurors to
serve their country in the jury box next
week.
The present panel of jurors will complete
its term Of service next Friday. Two of
the law judges have jury cases to try next
week and as this is the last panel to be
called before fall 1t was necessary to secure
Jurors. Judge Sears called all the jurymen
into the court room Tuesday morning and
asked all those who would consent to serve
an additional term to hold up their hands.
Half Of the Jurors held up their hands and
from the response there will probably be no
trouble in getting a sufficient number.

Uncle Joe Demands Hearing.

After he had finished speaking Kennard
moved to adjourn the hearing until
Wednesday morning. Then Uncle Joe Red
man, who had been moving nervously in his
seat in the back of the room, rose and de-
manded a hearing.
why don't you make a motion to let the
people come in here and not the lawyers"
he demanded. He was quoted for a minute
and was then given the privilege OF the
floor.
Il move an amendment" he said, that
you send out notices to the people and
tell them what you are doing. You have
got down to two or three lawyers. l don't
believe in that. These stores won't go out
of business. They get all our money now.

Mr.. Redman grafton was cut off by the
vote on the motion to postpone the hearing
and it carried. AS a parting shot, Mr.. Red
man said The hearing had gotten down to
MIR. Kennedy and Deputy County Attorney
Magney, and, in his opinion, both Of them
were lightweights. This remark caused a
general laugh at the expense Of the two
lawyers, and the meeting broke up with
everybody feeling good.

J. j. Item, president Of the Item Biscuit
company, was a guest at the meeting Of
the committee Tuesday. Mr., Item told OF
his cracker factory which is now being
equipped with modern machinery and will
be manufacturing biscuits in Omaha by
August Is.
Item shows Buainess Men.
Mr.. Item satisfied the business men that
his concern is absolutely independent either
of the so-called Cracker trust or any
other independent factory. and will be en-
tirely an Omaha and Clinton, Ia, concern.
Attempts of the so-called trust to embar-
rass the new cracker factory by identifying
It with other biscuit manufacturers were
discredited. The executive as
sured Mr.. Item that the business men Of
Omaha would give him their patronage
and the same loyal support which they give
other factories opened in Omaha. Many Of
the members OF the executive committee
are either wholesalers or interested in such
a way that their promise to support a fac
tory means actual sales to the wholesalers.

owned and controlled by. them, aggregated

KENNEDY DENIES REAL RIGHT
Says Equalization Board Has No Le.
gality Back Of Increases.
SAME FIGURES, IF HE is CORRECT
County Board Adiourns After Hearing
statement 10 Give Time for
County Attorney TO Formu-
late Opinion.

Something Of a sensation was sprung at
the meeting n the County Board Of Equal
ization Tuesday morning when John l..
Kennedy made formal objections to the
boards making the proposed increase In
real estate assessments in the business dis
trict on the ground it had no legal right
to do so. II his contention is true 1t will
invalidate $4,000 Of raises proposed by
the board and will make it necessary for
the board to leave the valuations in the
retail district where they were placed by
the assessor. After Mr. Kennedy had pre-
sentcd his objections the board adjourned
the hearing Of the Brandcis complaint until
to give Deputy County Attorney Masney
a chance to formulate an opinion on the
light Of the board to act.
Mr.. Kennedy based his objection on three
grounds. First that the board cannot take
an arbitrary district and raise or lower
Valuations; second, that the board cannot
act on individual pieces OF property except
on complaint Of an aggrieved taxpayer;
third that the board cannot act without
first giving notice to the property owners.
THE county assessor is supposed to
have done his work right. l do not ques-
ton the right OF the board to take up
the assessment as a whole or by precincts,
but It must be by legal precincts and not
arbitrary districts said Mr.. Kennedy.
The board can correct individual Unequal
tiles only on complaint OF the property
owner or someone else. I have been before
the Board Of Equalization a number OF
times and this il the most arbitrary action
l ever knew such a board 10 take"

1.-THE most serious condition now
confronting the American fishing indus-
try is the failure of the States to afford
adequate protection to migratory fishes
in State and interstate waters" This
is the serious note of warning sounded
by George VI. Bowers, United States
Fish Commissioner, in his annual re-
pert. Mr.. Bowers graphically depicts
the great destruction wrought TO GER
tain species of fish and make an ear
nest appeal for their preservation.
Pointing to the history of the New
England salmon fishery as a warning.
the Commissioner declares that some
Of the States seem yet absolutely indif-
forent to the crying needs of fisheries
for species Of similar habits, whose
obliteration, he says, is certain unless
radical corrective measures are taken.
Mr.. Bowers states that the fishes most
in need of consideration are the shad.
the striped bass and the sturgeon on
the Atlantic coast and the salmons in
the Pacific States.
The disappearance of the sturgeon
from nearly every east coast river, Mr..
Bowers states, SHOWS how greed and
Indifference may in n single generation
destroy valuable fishery"
The report shows that the bureaus
hatcheries in 1908 yielded 316,oo0,OO0
more fish than in any other year and
delivered about 45SOOO.o00 eggs to

Thousands of dollars will be saved to
the railroads of the United States annu-
ally on accoupt of the new order issued
by the Postmaster General. 1t eliminates
from the regulations of the department
governing the transportation Of mails the
requirement. that the roads shall be fined
for failure To maintain schedules on mail
trains. The order also provided that the
roads no longer shall be required to make
out and forward to Washington the vol
luminous monthly reports showing in de-
tail the full performance of each mail
train that is delayed over thirty minutes
ut any point on its route The order
was received with great satisfaction by
the railroad officials. who long have con-
tended that tue regulations of the Postal
Department were unreasonable.
Heretofore fine &C 10 per cent of the
earning capacity of a mail train, based
OH its contract remuneration, has been i'm
posed on the road for a delay of thirty
minutes or over at any point on its route,
the fine being based on the distance trav-
eled while the train was that amount be-
hind its schedule.

ply it with any evidence that may be

sage. and Join Sharp Williams of Mis-

it was the desire of the special commit
tee To be just toward the President In
allowing him to submit any evidence he
may have, and both declared that the
committee would give il full and im-
partial consideration. Mr.. Perkins said
the committee would continue in ses-
sion during the Christmas holidays so
that It might receive such evidence from
the President promptly and proceed to
consider it.

Napoleon, o., Institution, Involved
I'm Insurance Failure, Assigns.
Men cried and women tainted in the
streets of Napoleon, Ohio, when they
found notice of assignment posted on
the doors of the Citizens State Bank.
II. ID. Donovan was named as assignee.
President Heller of the bank is now con-
fined in hospital in Minnesota town.
The failure is said to be due to overloans
made by Cashier Groll to Judge Michael
Donnelly, who is president of the Ohio
German Fire Insurance Company, and the
assignment is also said to be the direct
result of the recent failure of that insur-
ance company. These loans &c Donnelly,
il is alleged. were made without the au-
thority of other officials. The bank is
capitalized at $1,000 ard has an undi-
vided surplus of ST., 900. The deposits
amount to SS35,000. The bank examiner
objected to an extension of credit to Judge
Donnelly and required the amount to be
made up by the end Of this month. The
directors determined to make an assign
ment in order 20 furnish equal and full
protection to all the creditors.
