mended for Its Courtesy.

AS predicted in THE TINES yester-
day. DR.. 7. B. TempIin was reappointed
health inspector for the city of Gary.
His reappointment was due to the fact,
that in spite of the conditions which
existed in Gary during it's primitive
stage. when there were no proper sew
er and water facilities. no contagious or
infectious diseases menaced the public
during his term of office.
During his term of office many prose-
cutions were instituted against offend
ers OF the law by DR.. Templin, most
OF which terminated successfully.
Merchants, citizens and manufacturers
alike came under the ban Of the law
when they were found to have commit
ted violations. until at the present
time conditions in Gary are perfectly
satisfactory.

officials were received by the board.
but because of the routine business
which they had to transact at this
time of the year they were unable to
pass upon the reports. These will be
taken up at the next meeting of the
board. The business was also rushed
because Of the desire of the president.
Mr.. Knots, to catch train for In
dianapoiis, where he will look over the
prospects for Gary's superior court
when the Legislature convenes.

the city, who claim that the ordinance

Grating IN the city is not properly en-
forced. They claimed that several of
the draymen are compelled to paw
license fee. and that others are in the
business who have not as yet secured
the permit. The board promised the

into the matter

Be Brought In, Says
Judge Day,

In the suit OF Edmund Hanse against the
Fred Bush Transfer company for $4,000 In
Judge Days court. proceedings have been
temporarily halted by the In
PRODUCTION of a dray wagon as testimony.
Hanse claims damages because of an al
legged fault in the construction OF the wagon
and the transfer company has offered to
demonstrate to the jury that the wagon Is
all right. 1t was hauled down to the court
house, but the Judge refused to let the
Jury gotout and look at II. on the ground
that unless 1t was brought into court reg
ularly 1t could not properly be evidence.
II n is made an exhibit the court will
have 70 take charge OF II and II an appeal
is taken, 1t will have to be sent to the
supreme court attached to a bill of ex-
ceptions. Just how this can be done the
court has not determined.
There the matter rests and the court Is
waiting for the lawyers to decide whether
or not they want the enormous vehicle
dragged into the presence OF the jury. a
proceeding which would probably neces-
state the removal Of one side of the court

DirigIble Goes to
Toledo to Fly
Too Small and Balloon Ascensions
Cease for the Present at
Fort Omaha.

The United States dirlgible balloon No. 1,
after two unsuccessful free lights and
several captive flights at Fort Omaha, has
been Debated, dismantled and sent to To-
ledo. o., with 200 hydrogen gas tubes.
Lieutenants J. G. Winter and o. A. Dick
inson accompanied the airship and will en-
deavor to fly the machine at Toledo dur
ing the military tournament there, begin
ming Monday.
1t is the opinion OF many Of the Signal
corps officers that the dirlgible is too
small for actual experimental work. The
balloon has a capacity of %, 900 cubic feet,
but with the engine, propeller, skeleton car
and its own weight, IS or too buoyant
capacity to permit much successful work
being done with 1t, except under the most
favorable conditions OF wind and humidity.
These conditions did not prevail at Fort
Omaha during the stay Of the balloon here.
No more balloon experiments will be I'M
dertaken at Fort Omaha at the present,
or until the arrival of the new spherical
balloon to take the place Of the one de-
stToyed several weeks ago after a success

nauts. The new balloon is expected daily.

Shriver Levles
on Houses Built
or in Process
Enlarges Assessment Roll, but His
Course Will Be Subjected to
Legal Test,

County Assessor Shriver is succeeding In
enlarging his assessment roll. He is as
sessing houses for whose construction build
ing permits have been issued, whether
such houses have been built or not at the
time the assessment is made. Mr.. Shriver
says HIS course is no precedent, but his
predecessor, II. D.. Reed says 1t is new to
him; he did not pursue it.
Victor II. McLucas, whose new home al
Forty-second and Harvey streets, was as
sessed before It was built. and is not yet
completed or occupied, will subject the
proposition TO a test of the law as a mat
ter of information and principle. He is an
attorney and is OF the opinion Mr.. Shriver's
action, while conducive to an enlarged as
sessment roll, is not legal.
Mr.. Shriver has been diligent in his ac-
tivity to assess such property and has had
deputies out on scouting tours.
THE assessment rolls will show about
800 new houses built since April l. some
Of them completed and some not" said
Mr., Shriver. 1T would be unfair not to
assess these houses and let people live In
them without paying a tax on the prop
erty, especially when some of them were
completed within thirty days and a shori
time after the assessor made his rounds
THE law gives us the right to assess
this uncompleted property, all listing &c
be lone before July l. When the property
is not completed the assessor uses his owl
judgment and makes return OF what h'
considers the valuation would be by July

FENDER, Neb., June 2.-To the editor
Of The Bee: / should like to have you
publish the following in answer to the
one sent you from here as published in
the Saturday Bee. June 26, in regard to
smallpox In Fender:
The Bell Telephone people had smallpox,
having one Of the severest cases during
this epidemic and had been under quaran-
tine thirty-five days from the time It
was first instituted. On Thursday, June
"A, they called me in. asking when they
could be released. As there were some
scales still on the person OF one Of them
/ told them that l thought they should re-
main in quarantine until the last of the
week, Saturday %, or until the first OF
the following week. at which time 1
thought we could release them. For some
u~naccountable reason the physician, DR..
Buis, who had been attending them,
called up the State Board of Health by
telephone, and they told him to take down
the quarantine. This was lone by the
state board without consulting the local
board Of health in any way. Our board
of health ordered the quarantine card
again put up. which was done by the
marshal, who Is a member Of the board,
whereupon Dr. Butts tore down the card,
tearing up the caro- ana throwing II INTO
the street. We again put up another card,
which he again tore down. tearing It into
pieces and throwing 1t into the street.
Our board OF health then called up the
State Board Of Health and asked him
why Il wal that they were interfering
with the action of our board Of health in
an epidemic OF smallpox that we had for
sometime been trying 20 stamp out. He
stated that what he had done was in
ignorance Of any trouble and that the
state inspector, Mr., Wilson, would come
and adjust the same. He came on Fri
day, June 25, and stated in a public meet
ing well represented by citizens OF Fender
that the local board of health were justi-
fled in continuing this quarantine as they
had done, and recommended, as II was the
last OF the week, that after the local board
had properly fumigated the place and dis
infected the patients the quarantine could
be raised. Friday night the place was dis
infected and Saturday the card was taken
down.

The first Of several special trains Of

were In all over 100 persons on the train,

A stop of three hours was made In

nishing entertainment for the visitors while
they were here. Some took automobile
rides about the city, but most Of them
spent the three hours "a visiting the Elks'
headquarters and in seeing the downtown
district of Omaha
Nearly all the lodges represented on the
special train were on record as f~avoring
Garry Hermann, the Cincinnati base ball
magnate, for the office OF grand exalted
ruler. Only one or two Of the lodges had
uninstructed delegates.
d. Curtis Gano, delegate from the
Rochester lodge No. "a, said nearly all the
lodges in the east favored Hermann for
the head office.
Il am instructed to vote for Hermann"

strong organization and 1t will take a
great movement to beat him.
