ASSESSORS ASK
FOR INFORMATION
State Executive Council is Asked for
Right Plan to be Followed In ~"
Assessing Property.

Des Moines. Jan. 21.-The new state
executive council had before it on Sat
urday for consideration the matter OF
the instructions to assessors as to
assessing property at actual value
and 1t Is probable that a special cir.
cular of instructions will be sent out.
A number of assessors have asked
what to do. One of them, in a letter
to the council, stated that he doesn't
know what to do-to assess property
according to the law at it's full value,
to assess it in accordance with an
arbitrary schedule decided upon by a
conference of assessors, or to resign
and give it up in disgust.
1t is found that in practically every
county of the state the assessors and
county officers have entered into agree
ment to wholly ignore the law as to
assessments at full value and that un-
less the state officials take some az
flrmative action there will be no legal
assessment Of property in the state.
When this fact Is presented to the
legislature, as it will be, it will be
an important factor in favor of tax
reform.

PORTER Tells OF
TRAIN ROBBERY
A. ROBINSON OF MILWAUKEE
ROAD IDENTIFIED RO6B
As RoBBER.

The story of A. Robinson, the negro
porter of the Southwest Limited Mil
waukee train that was robbed on Nov.
IS, was the feature of the opening ses'
sion of Harve Robb's preliminary
hearing before Justice Nosler today.
| Robinson identified Robb as one of the
men who robbed the train. He was
vigorously cross examined by Robb's
attorney. Indications point to the
preliminary hearing being hard fought,
an effort being made this morning to
have the court dismiss the prisoner
because of an error in the informa-
ton against him. Robb was charged
in the information of robbing the train
ION or about November L. The states
attorney asked to have the informa'
ton altered, setting November IL as
the date of the robbery, and the
courts approving of the alteration
brought an objection from RobD's
lawyer, who maintained that the in
formation did not cover the specific
time of the alleged crime.
Robinson was on the stand all morn
ing. This afternoon w. F. Davis, con-
ductor of the sleeping car on the train,
J. H. Bierbauer. detective of the Mil
waukee road, William Rutherford, a
switchman, A. Young Of Kansas City,
one Of the men robbed and T. E.
Williams of Mystic, will give testi'
mony.
Robb Is accused Of being one Of two
men who boarded the train at Mystic
and between that town and Ottumwa
holding up two passengers, the porter
and the conductor of money and jew
elry amounting to $307.65.
Robinson told of two men entering
the car and at the point Of four re-
volvers robbing him and the passen-
gers and the conductor. He positive
ly identified Robb as the taller one
of the two robbers. He said when
the men dropped off the train at Of
tumwa the handkerchief around the
fac of Robb dropped, permitting him
to recognize the man. He said the
two men entered the observation car
by the rear door, and on cross examin-
alton an effort was made to show that
entrance could not be gained by that
route. 80.

ASKS STATE TOPAY
PRINTING COST
Attorney Would Have Charges
Amounting to over $1,000 TOR
Printing Abstract Paid.

Des Moines, Jan. 21.-Possibility OF
a petty graft was put up to the gu.
preme court last week to be headed
of. In a case from Mitchell county
in which the appellant was convicted
OF assault to commit robbery the attor'
ney filed an abstract" of the evidence
Of 239 pages and an argument" Of 486
pages. Attorney General Fletcher filed
motion with the court to strike both
from the files and compel real alb.
stract and argument The cost for
printing which the attorney asks the
state to pay is 1929. AS the print
ing can be had for about half this
rate at almost any office, it is figured
that on the printing bill alone the at
torney might get a handsome fee II
the supreme court permits the entire
cost to be charged up.
