NVAyN TALKS ON VALUES
Tells Of the Testimony Before the In

FIGURES TAKEN AS CORRECT
shows Where the Figures Given by
General Manager ward of the
darlington would Net Apply
to Property In Omaha.

r. j. McVsnu returned from Chicago
saturday morning and told ouestioners
about his dispute before the Interstate
Commerce commission with r. E. Ward,
general manager Of the Burlington, on land
values Of the road in the famous freight
rate case
MIR. Ward" said the traffic bureau man
ager OF the Commercial club, testified thai
the total cost Of reproduction OF the Bur
lington road would be $3.50, 900 100. In this
was an estimation OF land value at about
Sl50OOOOOO. Mr.. Ward testified that he
obtained this figure by going over ter
minals and land and multiplying the values
obtained by g. because their experience had
demonstrated that it cost at least three
times the value to buy the land
II said that the Burlington was assessed
here for $4,000 for land; that by the sales
method OF obtaining values utilized by w
= g. Tire in his work for the Nebraska state
Railway commission. the Omaha property
Of the road was worth Just % per cent
more than the assessed value.
This would give the Burlington value In
Omaha land at a little more than t1.OOO,OOO
and using Mr. Wards multiple OF g. the
result seems to Justify his figures.

4 had no quarrel with his value, but /
showed. aided by Mr. TRES figures. that
the actual purchases Of the railroads in
Omaha for the last few years did not cost
those roads to exceed l5O per cent Of the
prices Of adjoining property, instead OF 300
/ per cent as asserted by him.
i was also able to show by the Mime
sofa official appraisal report made at the
time the roads of that state were valued
by the state. that railroad property in
Minneapolis cost $50 per cent, in St Paul
175 per cent and in Duluth 1875 per cent OF
adjoining land values
my figures were strongly disputed by
counsel for the road at first but when
they put Mr. Ward back on the stand, he
admitted that my basic figures were cor
rect, and he also admitted that the use of
a multiple Of three was incorrect as TO
Omaha. l did not hear his subsequent tes-
| timony, but / was told by a member OF

! been entirely cleared up and admission
made that my figures were correct.

September 26, 1910.
1t was also agreed that the undersigned
issue this circular to all city central
bodies and local unions of the state OF
Ohio and to formally and officially invite
them to send their delegates to the con.
vention of the chartered Ohio State Fed
Grafton of Labor, which convenes at
Hamilton, Ohio, on Monday. October TO-
1910. No other State Federation of La.
Dor convention will be held.
The Hamilton State Federation of La
Dor convention will not only be called
upon to deal with measures and matters
directly affecting the economic interests
of labor, nor alone with matters which
are to come before the legislature and
the various municipalities of Ohio. but
also to take suitable and effective action
in connection with the proposed conven-
ton which is to be held in Ohio for the
amendment of the constitution of the
state. Inasmuch as all political parties
have agreed to favor constitutional
convention. there is no doubt but what
the people of Ohio will ratify that de-
mand, and the men of the organized Ia
Dor movement of the state should be up
and doing. and be prepared not only to
have representatives in that constitu-
tional convention, but also to prepare
measures of progressive and reforma-
tory character and for the maintenance
of inherent natural rights.
Therefore. all central bodies and local
unions are urged to send delegates to
the Hamilton convention and to aid in
the uniting and harmonizing of the labor
movement of Ohio All bona fide CEN
trail bodies and local unions are entitled
to representation in the Hamilton con-
vention. October 10th. in compliance
with the conditions set forth in the
agreement.
Sincerely hoping for unity and success

City Council Appoints a Special Po- liceman Who Will Chase Speed
 CTS on a Motorcycle.

A special meeting of the city coun- cil was held last night chiefly for the purpose of canvassing the returns for the sewer bond election. After that had been accomplished and the returns found to be the same as previously an nounced the council took hold of the problem that has been bothering them for some time-the speeding nuisance.
 IL was decided to put a man on the police force who will be furnished with d motorcycle. Jariott Thompson was appointed to the position. He has motorcycle of his own that is capable of sufficient speed to round up the best of the motor cars. The posi- ton will be temporary for the pres ent as it is something of an eXperi- ment. For the next two or three months the streets will be patrolled by Thompson who will start a stern chase wherever he finds a car exceeding the speed limit. Signs announcing to the stranger the speed limits in effect in Phoenix T3ill be posted at the various entrances to the city. The only other piece of business transacted during q short session was the confirmation of the appointment of a dog catcher.

FORTUNES OF CIRCUS KINGS.

It remains only to tell briefly just how the circus kings have fared with fortune The richest of all shOwmen was P T. Barnum, whose estate was worth more than s3,00O,000. writes Isaac F. MarcOssOn in the June Book
 man. He had good investments in real estate in Bridgeport and in New York, in addition to his circus interests. The right to use his name in connection with The Greatest Show on Earth alone was worth a small fortune. His partner, James A. Bailey, left more than sl,0O0.000; likewise, James L. Hutchinson. who completed the famous trio, whose names have flashed from bill boards the world over. Adam Fore paugh died very rich. w. w. Cole. who was d great circus man in his day, and who is now a resident of New York. is a millionaire. The Sells brothers Louis, Al, Peter and Eph- raim) built up a fortune of several millions and left their families with big estates These successes are in contrast with some of the poverty stricken end of some of the circus leaders of other days. notably Dan Costello and Yankee Robinson.
Arizona republican., 1910-06-18

But the wonder chapter in modern circus annals is the record of the RingIings. Thirty years ago these five brothers (Al, Charles. John. Otto and Alfred T) were "trouping' with a few horses, a few dens of animals and pro- viding the music themselves. Today. they own the three greatest circuses, the one which bears their names, the Barnum and Bailey show and the Sells -FOrepaugh circus, and dominate the business. These three circuses approximate a total investment of $S,- 100000 They have brought the com mercial and artistic organization of the circus up to it's highest and cleanest efficiency. And, Incidentally. they ha proved that a goodly quantity of gold dust con cling to sawdus..

The inter- ruption of Boston business relieved the coppers from some pressure and opened the way to their moderate re- covery. The approaching enactment of the railroad law was cited as an other depressive factor.

EXPECT SPEED ON
NEW SAUCER TRACK
Motordrome Designed by Jack Prince
May Show World Mile by
Auto In Half a
Minute

The motordrome designed and being
built by Jack Prince, one of the most
famous of track builders, is progressing
at a nice pace, the lumber for the track
being scheduled to arrive here by the
latter part of the week.
Nearly three million feet of lumber
is to be used in the construction of
the track, and when the order was be-
ing placed one mill agent could not
deliver the lumber, so it was divided
between a number of sawmills in the
northwest, and already one shipload Is
on the way to San Pedro, and is due
to arrive Thursday, when the first of
the track will be laid.
When this track is completed the
name Of Los Angeles will be carried
still more widely to the ends of the
earth, because of the time that will be
made on this mile of timber surface,
smooth as glass. Thirty-five seconds,
Prince claims, will be the time for the
automobile on this track, and when
Barney Oldfield was here he claimed
that on such d surface he could turn
it in thirty seconds.
Besides this there will be practically
no danger to the drivers from breaking
wheels and tearing off tires, as the
track will be SO constructed that at
every inch of the mile the tires will
be on their centers, with no strain on
any of them.
Prince will soon have the saucer
automobile track ready for use, and
when it is completed the day of all
days will be celebrated by the fastest
miles ever made in the history of the
world on any sort of a vehicle.
