Ten counties failed to send representa-
tives to the assessors meetings which
have been held in different sections of
the state by Secretary Bernecker of the
State Board of Assessment during the
week past. These counties were Holt,
Keya Paha, Knox, Garden. Dundy. Gar
field, Loup, Hiaine. Harlan and Gage.
These meetings have been held in sec
lions of the state where each county
interested could send its assessor or
some other representative who could
take part I'm the meeting. The state was
divided into eight districts. and meet
ing has been held In each one. Uni
formity OF assessment was the object
and Secretary Bernecker believes that
the meetings will result in n great deal
OF good. The main object was to get
things lined up for the real estate as
sessment which will be made next year.
In every county the assessor or the
clerk will make a list Of sales values as
recorded in real estate transfers and
send 1t TO the state board which Il is
hoped Will assist in getting at a better
valuation on real estate.

Murder Of. sRisA.

w ME0CE OA - hAAhNhes
The murder Of williem Harry Smith.
cashier for the Woodmen Of the World.
the principal crime Hauser Is suspected
Of committing in Omaha. was one of the
most sensational in criminal annals here.
Smith was killed on Saturday night,
October 1s. at Thirteenth and Dodge
streets. The murdered man was escort
ing home Miss Grace Slater North
Thirty-fourth street. a 2-year-old clerk
for the Woodmen, employed In the Of
flee with Smith. Smith, according to the
girls statement. was slain when he re-
sisted being held up by masked bandit.
The robber then forced the girl to ac-
company him for nearly an hour, traver-
sing several blocks. He then released
her after having threatened to assault
her. He relented when she pleaded with
him to spare her.
Miss Slater was given her liberty after
being questioned by the police. She
identified Hauser as the murderer of
Smith by his photograph.
Smith lived at 21S Fuller avenue. Coun-
and three children.
Hauser's picture and physical measure
ments has been scattered broadcast
about the face of the country. Every
police. chief and every sheriff. in fact,
every peace officer in the country was
aware of the hideous crimes charged up
to Arthur Hauser. and their attention
was riveted all the more solidly by the
fact that across the top of the glaring
police circulars was the banner line:
'Ten thousand dollars reward!"
The $4,000 reward attracted professional
and amateur detectives all over, and
especially In this part OF the country or
near the cities where crimes accredited
TO Hauser had been perpetrated.
OF course, though there is a price OF
$4,000 on Hauser's head. It will never
be paid. that Is. not entirely
Omaha May Yet Get Him First.
Omaha, for instance, offers 500 for his
arrest and return TO Omaha, and con-
viction. The other cities, where he is
wanted worded their reward offers the
same way. An effort will be made u
have Omaha's claim on him recognized
first, as this is the only place yet known
where he Is accused OF murder.
There teems small likelihood that the
indianapolis police have made a mistake

The capture took place when the

He is wanted by the Wichita, Kan,
police for highway robbery, and also
is wanted in Canon City, Colo,
where he is said to have escaped
from the state prison. He is also
suspected of being guilty of murder
in Omaha.
When examined by Captain Quig-

20 MAKE INVESTIGATION
OF AUSTRIAN ACTIVITIES
Nav Result in Additional Indictments
For Passport Frauds Recently
Discovered.

Washington. Nov. 1S.-Further IN
ventigation of the activities OF Aus
trian Consul General won Nuber and
his associates will be made by the
department of Justice as result OF
Yesterdays conference in New YORK
between A. Bruce Bileaski, chief OF
the bureau of Investigations, and DR..
Josepn Goricar, former Austrian con-
sui. A department statement an
nauncing this tonight also send that
information had been obtained which
probably would lead to additional in
dictments for passport frauds.
The statement says:
"Mr. Bielaski, chief Of the bureau
of investigation of the department o.
iustice, returned this morning after
his visit to New York, during which
he conferred with Mr. Rathom, edl-
tor of the Providence Journal, and
DR. Goricar. While Dr. Goricar may
not be able to testify directly to all
matters under inretigation, much IN
formation of a valuable nature was
obtained concerning the activities OF
Austrian Consul General Won NuDer
and his associates, the details OF Whlcn
can not be disclosed at present.
Prompt investigation, however, will
be made. Information also was OBJ
tained whoch probably will lead to
further indictments for passport
frauds"
DR.. Goricar recently charged that
the Austro-Hungarian consular ser
vice in this country, under direction
Of Consul General Won Nuber and
Count Won Bernstoff, the German
ambassador. carried on propaganda
for for forementing strikes in munition
plants.
Formal denial of all of these ale
cations was made to the state depart

and official denial of these investiga-
tions."

is in hand. Developments so far
have been submitted to the state de-
partment, but the view there is said
to be that alleged violations of law by

government, as these officers do not
enjoy the immunity accorded diplo-
matte representatives of a foreign ma
