that the price is scarcely 20 per cent.

RAILROADS DIVIDE
SURPLUS EARNINGS
New Jersey School Fund Gets
SLY, the State $63 of
Each $1,000.

out of every $1,000 of net surplus
earned by railroads in New Jersey the
State school fund will receive $177, the
State itself $63 and the railroads the
remaining $3.50, according to the new
plan adopted by the state Board of
Assessors.
The scheme is embodied by its
in charge of the railroad and canal
property revaluation in this State, i'll
his report to Governor Wilson.
The value of the securities is not
considered. Instead, the railroad COM
pany's net surplus available for divi-
dends is capitalized at 1896 per cent.
The result forms the total value of sub
division ". of the act of 1888.
In other words. rs per cent. is re-
tanned by the railroad company and
"a per cent is due the taxpayers of the
State.
Mr. Hansel points out in his report
that there are many advantages in
this method of computing the tax over
the old stock and bond plan.
Inc true value VI thV 49,
various companies" he points out,
cannot be determined, for the reason
hat they are not dealt In on the
market"
The state Board of Assessors IN
creased Mr.. Hansel's figures on land In
main stem 100 per cent. on the theory
that a railroad has to pay twice as
much as the norm:.l value to secure a
continuous strip of lane for main stem
and. therefore, should be taxed twice
as much. 1t also increased second
class land values 20 per cent. Mr..
Hansei also points out h a New Jer-
sey leads every State in the Union in
its income from railroad taxes. He
says:
"In 1905 New Jersey received $3.50 per
mile; in 1906, ss4S; in 1907, $2,047 per
mile, an increase of 157 per cent. Taxes
for 1908 fell off $212 per mile, and in
1909 increased to 50, 166 per mile.
AS the result of Mr.. Hansel's work
considerable property which has here
tofore escaped taxation has been
brought into the tax levy of the State,
the largest item being the floating
equipment of the Lehigh Valley at
Communipaw, which is now assessed
at $1,222,547.

Claiming hat some of the IL. 900
quarts of milk received in this city
daily comes from dairies 800 miles
away, Commissioner Schalk at a meet
ing of the Board of Health last night
declared that an inspection of these
milk depots would mean an annual ex-
pense which would be more than the
city could stand. The members of the
board agreed that milk inspection
should be made under the supervision
of the State Board of Health.
George W. Mcclure, chief of the
State department of dairies and
creameries, was a speaker at the meet
ing, and was asked to give his views
of the local situation, in view of the
criticisms received as to the conditions
of diaries. He declared the present
staff of four inspectors was competent
to make the necessary inspections, and
told what methods should be used in
the inspections. The commissioners
decided that the city's present milk
supply is moderately clean, and a sys-
tematic inspection is necessary to keep
1t i'm that condition.
Commissioners Schalk, Corwin, Baker
and Mclean We're appointed members
of a new pure food and drug commit
tee, and will also supervise the local
milk supply inspection.

THAT GUY"
VEXES MAN
IN COURT
Justice of Peace Weberbauer,
Charged With Assault,
Doesn't Like Name.

The first hearing in the case Of
Henry Bossett and Frederick Weber
bauer, the justice of til peace and
deputy who are charged with assault
and battery by Peter Japucka, of l39
Bowery street, took place before Judge
Hahn in the Third Precinct Court this
morning and resulted in the case being
adjourned until Friday morning.
According to the story of the com
%plainant. the two men entered the sa-
Don at 14S Bowery street, where he was
tending bar on December %, and tried
to take the money from the cash draw
or. When he attempted to argue WITH
them the two assaulted him and threw
him out of the building. The defense
claimed that Bossett had a right to go
into the saloon, as he held a writ OF
attachment on the place drawn IN favor
of q firm of wholesale liquor Dealers
and that he went there for the purpose
of serving this writ. The several Wit
nesses of the affair, however, denied the
presence of a paper of n sort, put
maintained thai Bossett had shown
only his badge before attempting to
empty the cash drawer.
There seems 10 have been some
hitch in the manne in which the
much discussed writ was obtained, II
the prosecution limited at a revelation
at the next hearing. 1t seems that no
writ had been officially given to Bos-
sett through the regular channels, ana
that Clerk John McNalon, by whom the
paper was signed, did not know mat
Bossett had possession of it on the
day that he attempted to serve it,
The examination of the witnesses
brought forth several bits of hulnor,
and Judge Hahn had to call the court
TO order on various occasions. One in
cident which amused the audience was
the manner in which a witness persist
ed in clubbing Weberbauer that guy,
much to the latter's wrath, and his re-
peated protests that he wasn't no
lguy."
mother retort that caused a smile
came in answer to the question:
Were you not drinking that day."
ME; oh | drink all the time" replied
the witness, n%aively.
The Ease was adjourned until Friday
morning in order that certain wit
nesses, whose testimony will be most
important in the decision, may be on
hand.

DEMANDS THAT
BRUTALITY CEASE
American Citizens in Panama Must
Be Treated With More Consideration
by the Police.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, Aug. 29.-Emphatic de-
mands upon the Panama government
to control the Panama police and put
an end to the gross brutality with
which Americans have been treated
have been issued by the American
state department 1t was in the exc
cution of these orders that American
Minister Dodge yesterday demanded
the removal of Chief of Police Quijano
and Police Captain Delaossa. In the
first case the resignation of the chief
was sufficient, but the refusal Of the
Panama government to remove the
police captain will be followed by a
more peremptory demand by Minister
Dodge.
This action is taken upon reports Of
the minister and army officers in the
canal zone who have carefully exam
ined complaints Of severe mistreat-
ment of Americans by Panama police.
1t is charged that the native police are
very much in dread of the American
bluejackets particularly and are in the
habit of shooting or stabbing them at
the slightest sign of resistance to ar
rest.

Sheriff j. c. Van Pelt last night dis
missed from his service three of Lis
deputies, whom ne claimed had taken
money from two prisoners, which he
oid not consider as legal. or right. and
because it is alleged they had consid-
cred a proposition he construed as
bribery. The men dismissed were Il.
f. and r. E. Lowery and ]. q. Rupert.
the circumstances, as related to a
representative of The Journal by
Sheriff Van Pelt, were as follows:
few nights ago these deputies
raided the place of Charlie Smith. COL
ored, on West Zarragossa street. and
arrested number of negroes on the
charge of gambling. Practically all OF
the negroes made bond and ii Is ciaimed
that after they had secured bond. tie
deputies charged two of these negroes
30 to turn them out Of jail.
The sheriff said sthat he had also
been informed that the deputies had
entertained a proposition to SQUASH
the whole affair and not make any
case against the negroes IL they would
agree to pay them $l0O.
RUPERT MAKES STATEMENT.
j. G. Rupert was seen by a repre-
sentative of The journal last night and
asked for a statement MIR. Rupert
said that as far as the $5 was con-
cerned he had received that amount.
but said that the way it happened was
this:
Some time after the arrests had
been made, Charlie Smith had sue
ceeded in making bond for two of the
negroes, one Of whom was his SON ana
who was only sixteen years OF age.
He said that Smith had tried to geA
the jailor to release his son, but that
he would not get up out of bed to do
so. Then Smith met Rupert on the
street and told him he would give a
hundred dollars to get his son out Of
jail, so that his mother would not
know that he had been arrested.
Rupert said that he told Smith that
500 was too much and that IL would
be holding him up to charge him that
amount to get the boy out, but that,
at the same time, it would be some
trouble for him to go back to the Jail
and try to get him out. Then, he says,
Smith said he would give him IS IL ne
would go and get his boy out Rupert
says be went then and woke UP the
jailor and stated the case to him ana
secured the keys to let the boy out.
He says Smith offered then to pay him
SO but that he refused and said that
SIS was enough to pay him for his
trouble.
Mr.. Rupert said that his main rea-
son in doing this was to protect the
sheriff, as he knew that Il was against
the law to confine a boy of that age
in the same prison with criminals.
In regard to the proposition to
squash the whole matter for 500, ne
said that he and the Lowerys would
answer this charge later and that they
would sign a statement to be pub
| lished.
