tuents have as good a right as the next

I'VE cannot get all this work done at

make a beginning somewhere, and in due
time we viii reach all offenders. This de-
partment is given exclusive control Of the
care of the streets, and so far as 1t can be
done we propose to rave the law obeyed."
Turning to his desk the city engineer
produced a letter from a prominent firm

body trespassing, in the matter Of side
walks, is compelled to move back they will
fight the order served on a certain property
owner on Harvey street.
That is a sample Of what we have to

letter the writer cites an Instance of one

RIGHT TO INTERVENE IS
STICKLER IN COURT CASE
Question is Being Considered by Two
Judges and Two Sets of
Lawyers.

Attorneys for the heirs of Count John A.
Creighton, attorneys for the intervenors
and two judges of the district court, RediclI
and Estelle, met in Judge Redick's court
room for argument upon a motion to strike
the petitions of Intervention from the rec
ords.
Argument went over until Friday, how
ever, In order to give attorneys for the in
tervenors time to prepare to meet one of
the questions involved.
The right to intervene will be fought
upon two grounds. One is that the inter
venors should hEve appeared in the court
Of original jurisdiction, in this case the
co~unty-euurt. The other ground is as TO
what facts may properly be alleged in the
petitions of Intervention.
The first Is the one which Will really be
fought out by the lawyers for the heirs on
one side, and the attorneys on the other,
who represent a number of working girls
and Bishop Scannell.
Both judges were present because the in
PREVENTION is double. There are two suits
identical, one before Judge Estelle ana the
other before Judge Redick. The right to
intervene in either will be settled in one
stroke.

CORPORATIONS MUST PAY UP
Millions in Special Franchise Taxes
COIlectRble in the Empire
State.

A decision handed down by the court Of
appeals OF the state Of New York, sustain
ing the validity Of the special franchise tax
law puts within reaching Of various NUM-
cipalities q total Of S41, 900, 900, of which ST.
100000 is due New York city.
The decision was handed down in the
case of the Jamaica Bay Water Supply
company against the State Board Of Tax
commissioners, in which two important
questions were raised. One was whether
assessments Of special franchises of cor
porations, which include the tangible
property of the corporations in the
streets and Highways and the right to use
these streets and highways, are to be
yequalized with local assessments made by
assessing officers in the same locality.
The second question was whether the
courts may properly set aside the assess
ment made by the State board If 1t does
not correspond to the result reached by the
net earnings rule.
In an opinion by Justice Willard Bart
lett the court, upon the first point, holds
that the appellate division was right in
allowing the special franchise to be equal
lied to correspond with the rate of assess
ment adopted by the local assessors. Upon
the second question It holds that no rule
can be laid down by the courts. although
generally the net earnings rule will give a
proper result. The court then difines at
length the method by which this net earn
ings rule should be applied.
The court sustalns the contention Of the
attorney general that the proper rate of re-
turn to be allowed in applying the net
earnings rule is a question of fact, al
though in the absence of the proof the
opinion holds that the court may take iu-
dlcial notice that c per cent is a fair re-
turn.
The corporation counsel will now take
steps, where necessary, to collect the ST.
0O0,O 900 due the city" said Comptroller Metz
Of New York city Many corporations,
no doubt, will pay hp without suit, know
ing that there is no gainsaying to be done
in the matter. Some of them, as a matter
of fact, have paid their taxes with the
understanding that, by doing so, they did
not prejudice any legal rights they might
have in the premises. The Third Avenue
Railroad company is one of these"
Back taxes due New York city in the diff
ferent boroughs are as follows: Manhattan,
$40. 900, 900; Brooklyn, S4,97O, 900; Queens, $751;
900; the Bronx. 31,291, 900; Richmond, $751;
600.
Failure on the part Of corporations to pay
arrears, many of which go back a num-
Der OF years, will no doubt lead to sales
by the city's auctioneers.

FARM SPECIAL is A SUCCESS
Train in Charge of Men from State
Experiment Farm Proves
Attraction.

The Ranchman's special, which was run
by the Northwestern over its lines in
Wyoming, proved itself a complete sue
cess, and was visited by hundreds at Every
stop. 1t attracted attention far beyond the
expectation Of the officers of the com.
pany.
The special was in charge of professors
from the state experiment farms, and also
from the government farm, where expert
ments have been going on for some years
in dry farming. An effort was made to
show new settlers in Wyoming how to
increase crop yield, and also to demon
strate that a man could do well by dry
farming methods on government land
which may still be homesteaded under the
Mondell act, allowing a man to enter upon
800 acres.

That the clergy of Omaha might have

men responded to the call Saturday and
made a canvass Of the entire city. Omaha
was divided into twenty-six districts, with
a district leader in charge of each. Some
of these leaders had as many as forty
workers going from house to house ask
ing the church preference of each individ,
ual. This data will be used by the clergy
to assist in their work.

had charge Of the down town section of
Omaha and by the way the young men
were hustling IL was expected they would
finish up Saturday evening. Rev, f. e
Houseman, pastor Walnut Hill Metho-

workers and he reported men in each dis
trict except one and that will be taken al
a later date.

the building is likely to land, but some of
those who have been watching the situa-

have been considering will be withdrawn,

As SMOOTH AS TEXAS OIL
Suave is Just the Word to Describe
Harriman's Successor.
SILENCE ANOTHER STRONG TRAIT
Character sketch of President Lovett
of the Union Pacific-Can Talk
About Everything but
Railroad Plans.

Sometimes words are invented to fit
men; and then again, men seem made to
fit words. Occasionally it goes both ways
only occasionally; but 1 know one case
where 1t is like the paper on the wall.
The man is Judge Robert Scott Loyett,
the new head of the Hartman railroads,
and the word is, suave.
The judge fits the word, and the word
fits the Judge. 1t is a fine combination.
Mayhap, those language sharps who
reached over into the Latin and the
Spanish and tho Portuguese and distracted
suave for our gnerled and knotty language
did not have Judge Lovett in mind as the
human symbol for their addition to the
speech, but If not they didn't know their
business. The judge is suave to a suasive
suaveness-likewise bland as blandurilla.
Moreover, when it comes to saying moth
ing and awning wood the judge has most
Of his compeers splitting and piling for
him. He surely is a polite and Smiling
sphinx. He has nothing to say on almost
every topic connected with his business,
and he says It with a most in~gratiating
smile and such an air OF polite finality that.
having asked much and heard nothing,
you fall into the spell Of it and wonder
why 1t is so many other captains of in
dustry go around blabbing their heads off,
as many Of them do, provided there are any
engineers of publicity within blabbIng dis
tance.
A silent Adviser.
Until a few years before his death Mr..
Hartman was silent, but not noticeably
suave about it. Then, suddenly, so far as
communication with the public is con-
cerned, he became the most responsive of
men. He mellowed, so to speak, and, when
the mood was on him., threw the net over
any reporter who happened his way and
talked epigrams to him until IT was time
to go to press. Although he never said so,
the explanation Of this change was that
Mr.. Hartman decided it was just as well
to have his side OF the story put into the
papers now and again as it was to sit
back in naughty seclusion and let the
other fellows get in all the ncks. Anyhow,
to interview Mr.. Hartman, which in
former years had been one Of the hardest
things. in recent years became one Of the
easiest.
During these years Of free c-ommunica-
ton Judge Lovett was closest to and most
admired of Mr.. Hartman. He was his
chief adviser, his first-chop legal repre-
sentative and the repository OF his 81
gantic plans. He travelled a good deal
with Hartman, planned and executed for
him; but no person ever heard Judge
Lovett say anything about what was going
on. He would talk charmingly and with
a wonderful breadth OF information about

Dispute Over the
Estate of Points
Two Want to Be Administrator and
Certain Patents Form the Bone
of Contention.

The estate OF w. ], Points, who was an
assistant foreman at the Union Pacific
shops, bids fair to be tangled up in Itiga-
ton.
H. W.. e. Mcdaniel, auditor for the
McKeen Motor company, has been ap-
pointed special administrator of the estate
to the wrath OF Bartholomew julien, gem
eral foreman of the shops.
Between Julien and Mcdaniel there is a
divergence Of opinion about some patents
which Points owned and in which Julien
has or had a half interest, for he declares
that the rights of both were sold TO a
company.
Coroner p. C. Heafey appeared in county
court Saturday and asked the appointment
of an administrator on the ground that he
is a creditor of Points.

FIGURESTELLCREAT GROWTH
Statistics Show Total Building for
Ten Months Over S6,000,00O.
THIS Is INCREASE OF SO PER CENT
record sarpasses that OF Any Other
Ten Months I'm the History of
the city, Even Banner
Year In 1887.

Figures compiled in the office Of City
Building Inspector Withheld tor the ten
months OF 1909 ending october 80 show
better than columns Of words what ire
mendous progress Omaha is making along
substantial lines.
The total amount Of permits issued dur
ing the last ten months is S6,151.635. For
the same time in 1905 the amount was
$3,7s $50. This gives an increase in value
Of buildings erected Of 60 per cent, in ex-
act figures, a gain Of &c. 1853, 745.
Previous to this year the record made
in 1887 stood as the best made in this city.
In that year. to November !, the value OF
permits issued was 1888, ~, and for the
twelve months. 1887 was credited with IS,
1913. 62g. with two months yet to go and a
great many costly buildings in sight, for
which permits have not yet been taken out,
the difference in favor Of the 1887 record
IS only $4i. 1884. This difference will be
made up and greatly surpassed before Jan
uary /. A substantial figure in excess Of
1000 900 for this year is confidently pre-
dicted by the building inspectors office.
Increase Of Eight Per Cent,
The number OF permits issued during the
month OF October was 152, against 11s dur
ing October. 1908, an increase Of s per cent.
In value OF permits this months record
stands at s557. 1856. against S5T7,s75 for Octo-
Der, 1908, showing a gain of $50, $50 in value
for October, 1908.
The largest permits issued during the
month were: J. L. Brandeis & Sons, the
new Morris theater, 100000 Board Of
Education, Forest school, 10000; Coad Real
Estate company, garage at Twenty second
and Farnam, $4,000; e. $. Rood and
Thomas Crane. apartment building, Thir-
ty-eighth and Farnam, $4,000.
The city engineers office has quiet in
timations Of a large number of new struc-
lures planned for next season. Property
owners who nave been ordered by the
engineers force to do certain work have
secured a stay because they propose to
change the face of things by breaking
ground for new buildings as soon as the
frost is out Of the ground in the spring.
Mr.. Craig is confident IN the belief that
this time next year many a vacant lot will
be covered with handsome improvements
and many an unslghtly old shack replaced
by something the city can be proud Of.
Old homesteads, at one time considered
absolutely safe from any possible intrusion
by business structures, are to be moved or
torn down, in answer to the demand Of
business for more room. %
