BLOOD-STAINED AUTO
GIVES POLICE A CLEW

CHICAGO, May 1O.-An automobile
with blood stains on the wheels, found
abandoned in an alley here today, Is
believed to be the machine which
caused the death of Mrs. Albert Behr
last night.
Mrs. Behr and her husband were
about to cross the street when the car
swerved into Mrs. Behr, who was al
most decapitated before the eyes OF
her husband. The chauffeur quickly
disappeared into Lincoln park.
The alley in which the machine was
found by detectives is several miles
from the scene of the accident. A
police captain, whose son is believed
to have been one of the five men in
the car, is active in conducting the
investigation.

LITTLE 'UNS MAKE BEST
DETECTIVES, SAYS MAYOR
Prefers HunChback to a Giant
Any Old Day

NEW YORK, May 10.-Mayor Cay
nor wants few little men on the de-
tective force, even "hunchbacks and
singed cats and little fellows who can
go through keyholes and knotholes."
He adds that if they have eyes in
the back of Their heads, so much the
better. But the only kind of giants
needed as detectives are mental
giants, he says.
The mayors views were made known
in a letter to the chairman of the civil
service board after Joseph Hooker, six
feet five inches tall, had called on the
mayor saying that he had passed the
examination for a policeman, but was
afraid of being disqualified. He de-
parted with the mayors letter in his
pocket.
HE is too big for the detective
force" wrote his honor. He could
not go anywhere without being seen."
Hooker hopes to get a job as an
ordinary policeman.

WASHINGTON, May 10-The exist
ence of rulings in the interior depart
ment which Mr.. Ballinger must have
violated in appearing before the gen.
eral land office in behalf of the Cum
ningham coal claimants, after his re-
tirement as land commissioner. Gas
brought out by Attorney Brandeis in
GREGG examination Of tho secretary of
the interior in the Ballinger-Pinchot
investigation today.
Mr.. Brandeis secured an admission
from Mr. Ballinger that he had been
barred from appearing before the land
office by a similar ruling in another
case subsequent to his activity In the
Cunningham cases, and prior to his
becoming secretary of the interior.
IGNORED RULINGS
MIR. Ballinger said he had not called
these rulings to the attention of the
president to assist him in reaching a
conclusion in the CLAWS charge be-
cause he did not think there was any
law to sustain them.
The committee decided to grant the
request that Oscar Lawler, assistant
attorney general for. the interior de-
partment, be asked to furnish the orig
inal or copies of the memorandum he
prepared for the president last Septem-
ber and which Mr.. BrandeiS has lntl-
mated the president followed in writing
his letter vindicating Ballinger and
dtsmissing CLAWS. BY unanimous vote
the committee refused to ask the presl-
dent for similar information.
During an exchange of amenities be-
tween Chairman Nelson and Attorney
Brandeis In the course oe wearisome
afternoon, one of the women specta-
tors rebuked the former because he
undertook to discipline the inquisitor
for Swapping" at members of the COM
mittee.

fender, whose identity was hidden be-
hind a solid row of chantecler hats.
Senator Nelson was too surprised to
answer. So was Mr.. Brandeis, and
harmony was restored.
Attorney Brandeis had almost con-
cluded the cross-examination of Mr..
Ballinger when the hearing was ad-
iourned until Tuesday. He devoted
practically the entire day to the sub
iect of the "clear listing of the Cum
ningham claims by Commissioner Bal
linger to show extraordinary haste
had been made to rush the claims to

tests alone had caused Mr.. BallingeT

State Figures
on Bank Stock
Assessment
Douglas County Shows Increase for
Year and Lancaster Again Comes
Forward with Decrease.

LINCOLN, Aug. s.-(Special THE state
board OF equalization is still receiving an
swers to its inquiries regarding the method
of assessing bank stock and will meet
shortly to pass on the protests raised
against Douglas county. Ut the same time
other counties will be required to go into
details regarding the decrease shown by
the reports Of their assessors.
The total assessed value of stock of state
banks for the year 1909 was S2,44S,24S and
for, this year the assessed value was 81
6Sl,S55. Gage county is not included in the
assessment this year, but as it only re-
ported Sl46 last years as the assessment of
its stock in state banks, 1t will make very
little difference in the total this year.
Douglas county shows an increase of $685.
600 over last year while Lancaster county
shows decrease from S95, 764 to S76,7s5. The
value of stock in national banks was sim
ilarly increased in Douglas county while
Lancaster county showed decrease. The
explanation offered for the decrease In Lam
caster county was that the assessor had in
cluded the bank stock assessment in an
other column.
The following table shows the assessment
OF stock in state banks by counties for
the years 1909 and 1910:

In most cases little has been done to-
ward dividing Up heirship property among
the Indians. Their notions of blood relation
ships are quite peculiar and 1t is often
very difficult to ascertain who are the law
full heirs. In order that their property may
be equitably divided among them, it is
quito necessary that accurate and thor
oughgoing work be done along this line.
The Indian often calls his aged acquaint-
ance Uncle" While he designates his inti-

peculiarities of thought and expression
such as these call for the exercise OF the
greatest care and skill II the estates of de-
ceased allottees are to be justly distrib-

GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Aug. 3.-(Special.)
Shortly after the workmen employed on
the federal building in this city were put
to their tasks yesterday, an order was re-
ceived stopping all work on the building
and ordering an inventory made of the
amount of work done and the material on
the ground and In the building. The order
came from Washington. Locally the exact
reason for the action is not known. 1t is
believed to be the result, however, of de-
lays due to erroneous orders for milling
work and the difficulties occasioned thereby
AS nearly as can be learned this will de-
lay the completion Of the building from one
to three months. About two weeks ago a
lot of milling work was received and was
found not to fit the measurements. It was
necessary to rent local shop and cut
down and remodel. Whether the surety
company covering the contractor will be
allowed to complete the work, or a new
contract let for the completion Of the build
ing or the order will be withdrawn when
whatever difficulties there are have been
cleared up, is not known.
