The trial of Councilman Ernest {.
Cox on two indictments charging him
with soliciting brides. will be resumed
before Police Justice Brown at 1893
o'clock this morning. Cox will be re-
called to the stand Immediately after
the court convenes and Common
wealth's Attorney Berkeley will con
tlnue his cross examination Of the
accused.
Il is expected that practically all
Gf the evidence in the case Will be

Collier. of Hampton, counsel for Cox,
has announced that he will put a Few
additional witnesses on the stand, but
he has not made public their names.
Captain Berkeley may put some wit
nesses on in rebuttai.
When the trial was adjourned over
last Saturday afternoon at o'clock
until this morning, Captain Berkeley
had only about half completed the
ross-examination of Cox. He had
questioned him regarding his relations
with President Bramley, of the Cleye-
land Trinidad Paving Company. and
!. c. Rock. the president of a Phila-
delphia Paving Company. He has yet
to question him on his statements be-
fore the common council a week ago
last Monday night.
The argument in the case. which
may begin tomorrow, probably will
consume an entire day. Attorney
Collier probably will argue his de-
murrer to the indictments which was
made when the trial first began a
week ago and several other points
that have been raised since may be
argued. The arguments of the case
On it's merits will consume several
hours as both attorneys will require
considerable time in a summing up
OF the evidence and in arguing on the
fifteen counts contained in each of the
two indictments.

KNOW REALTY VALUE
Secretary Dawson d Sending Cir.
eular Letter to the Auditor OF N
Each County In the state.

Des Moines. Ia. May 5.-Secretary
A. H. Dawson OF the executive coun-
Gil is mailing a circular letter to the
county auditor OF every county IN
Iowa asking for q comparative state
ment OF the real and assessed valua,
ton OF lands within the county. I'he
information will be used In deternin-
ing the assessments of Iowa railroads
next summer.
Six years ago a similar canvass was
made by the council and the result
was 10 per cent boost in the railroad
assessment. 1t was found in 1903 that
the average rate OF assessment OF land
was so per cent of the real value,
and this percentage was applied with
some modification to the assessment
of railroad property.
In 1902 the total assessed valuation
Of railroads in Iowa was $51,3O7, $50.
After canvass ordered by Governor
Cummins had shown that farm lands
We're paying taxes on so per cent Of
their real value, the total assessed
valuation jumped to $56,541,51 or
about 10 per cent. Increases in earn
ings since 1903 have increased the as
sessed valuation until last year it was
$63,457,b16.
No attempt will be made by the
council to ascertain the comparative
valuations Of personal property or OF
city real estate.
