NO PLACE FOR CONVENTIONS
How to Accommodate Visitors is the
Present Question ,
EXPOSITION MANAGERS FACE A PROBLEM
Negotiation * ( or Hall * Hitrc Tim * Fnr
lleen Very Unatlfnrtor > - and
llullillnR One Seem * the
Only Solution.
' The providing of a large hall for the ae-
commodatlcn of the numerous conventions ,
congrcsscB , etc. , which will meet In Omaha
during the coming summer Is a matter which
boa become an especially live IBHUC slnco the
refusal of the trustees of the First Congro-
Entlonal church to allow that church to be ,
used by the Woman's club between June and
November In order to carry out the club's
dwlre to co-operate with the exposition and
provide a meeting place for a large proportion
tion of the conventions.
A committed of the Woman's club and
President Wattles of the exposition have held
numerous conferences with the church trus
tees and It was generally understood that the
matter was virtually settled and that the
church was to bo turned over to the women
to bo used every day except Sunday for con
gresses or conventions. There are about 100
conventions and congresses which will meet
In Omaha during the coming summer , and
the purpose of the Woman's club was to have
a large proportion of the smaller gatherings ,
those where the attendance would not exceed
100 or BO , meet In the church. It was a part
of tbo plan to have a committee of
women from the club act as host-
cssifl for each of these conventions
and look after the decorations of the church.
The trustees took exception to the idea of
having gatherings of men In the church ,
some of them being afraid that the men
might put their feet over the back of the
pews or smoke or do some other objectiona
ble thing , notwithstanding the presence of
the women ot the reception committee. The
itrustcen indicated their willingness to grant
the use of the church If allowed to select
the conventions or congresses which were
to bo allowed to , meet there. The other
parties to the agreement positively refusal
to bo thus restricted and the refusal ot 'he
trustees to allow the church to be used for
any conventions followed.
OTHER CHUUCHES OBJECT.
Prior to the negotiations with the trustees
of the First Congregational church the com
mittee of the Woman's club Interviewed the
olficers of some of the other down town
churches. The trustees of the First Method
ist church declined to consider any proposi
tion looking to ( ho use of that church for
conventions of any kind. The ofllclals In
control of the Kountzc Memorial church
wore willing to negotiate with the club
representatives on the basis of
$2,000 as rental , but stipulated that
they must bo allowed to select
the gatherings which would meet In
the church. Especial objection was made
to the Congiess of Liberal Religions and a
proposition Involving the holding ot this
meeting In the church would not bo corv-
Blderod. As the club representatives and
the exposition ofllclals declined to have
their course dictated by outside authorities
the negotiations were dropped at that point
Unity church was the only 0110 of the
down-town religious edifices which was
offered without strtnps at a rental of { 500 ,
but thd auditorium of this building Is rather
small an.l would accommodate only the
smallest of the gatherings.
President Wattles has taken up the mat
ter in another way and has written to the
Commercial club asking that organization to
take hold of the project 'to erect a tem
porary hall somew'hero down town which
shall have a seating capacity of about 6,000 ,
S3 arrangeJ that It may be divided Into
smaller halls to accommodate several small
gatherings at the same time. The exposition
management will head a subscription list
for such purpose with a liberal subscrip
tion and the Commercial club Is asked to
take charge of the matter and push It to
early consummation.
President Wattles cajs this Is the only
Apparent solution ot this question. The ne
gotiations for the ueo of the Coliseum have
como to naught and the president says
something must bo done to provide a meeting -
ing place for the great conventions which
will come , vvhllo the failure of the negotia
tions for churches and smaller halls makes
It absolutely necessary that something be
douo at once to provide for the smaller
gatherings ;

"Japan has great affection for the United
States , " said T. Katow , a Japanese In the
city on business. "The Japanese will never
forget that Commodore Perry was the means
of opening the country to foreign trade ant
assisting It to Its present prosperity ani
standing among the nations of the world
The present emperor , Mat&uhlto , has dtno
more thau any other ono person , to advance
Japanese trade and Induce the Introduction
of machinery. He did all this , too , In the
face of terrlblo opposition , which hca now
disappeared and the entire population Is en
tlrcly . In harmony now with his plans to
promote . commerce and Industry. Japan Im
ports largo quantities of lumber , osttcn am
Iron I from the United States and sends In
return much raw silk and some manufic
tured silk. The tea trade and othcn expor
trade In Japan la carried ou largely by Ens
land 1 , Holland , Germany and France. Th
United 1t : Stutes controls little of the Japanc < j _
1c trade t and Is seldom mentioned there as a
commercial nation. By rights Uio location
of the United States entitles It to a larg
share of the tea shipping , but the American
shippers do not seem to reach out after Oil
business and offer no competition In thla
line to the European powers. The balanc
of trade between the "United States anJ Japan
Is In Japan's favor and It need not be If more

where Europe supplies the demand. "

MRS , HENROTIN TALKS TO HER SISTERS
[ 'rcnlrtent of the ( Jenrrnl Federation
of Wotnnit' * Cluhn DelUer * nn
Adilre * * Ilpforc the I.ocnl
Organization.
The First Congregational church was
crowded last evening with the members of
the Woman's club , friends and es
corts , who gathered to hear an ad
dress by Mrs. Ellen M. Hcnrotln ot
Chicago , president of the
Federation of Woman's clubs. After a sim
ple and graceful word of Introduction from
' .Mrs. Ilarford , president of the Omaha
Woman's club , Mrs. Hcnrotln responded to
the Clmutauqua salute which was given her ,
and without preamble entered upon the dis
cussion of a subject which , though she de
clined to etate It , was clilolly concerned with
expositions and women.
She touched upon the first great exposi
tion Instituted by the Prlnco Contort of Eng
land , and spoke of its effect in rousing other
nations , noticeably Austria , to more Indus
trial enterprise. She passed on to the Cen
tennial at Philadelphia , associating with It
the claims of the recent artistic develop
ment of this country and explaining how
women wcro given association with It "It
they t would raise the money. " She dwelt
for a moment upon the late French cxposl
tlon , where women were permitted to hold
a congicss ; a man , however , the commis
sioner ot Instruction , having been provided
to t preside and keep order , and reached the
climax of her history In the Columbian ex
position. Here , she oald , began a movement In
the governmental recognition of women , for
every great government appointed Its women
commissioners. This fact was largely duo
to t the tact of Mrs. Potter Palmer , whom
she characterized as "a statesman. * '
Mrs. Hcnrotln thought the material ex
hibit In the Woman's building pcarcely rep
resentative ot woman's work which Is not
of a material sort. "A woman , " 9'ie said ,
"la not an originator , she Is a co-ordlnator.
Look 1 how she brings Into relation the parts
of education. A few jears ago higher edu
cation was a thing apart , now women bring
the t child from the kindergarten Into the
higher 1 education. The one Is a part of the
other. "
From this point the speaker claborateJ
the history ot the club movement. Forty
ycara ago man brought Into the homo the
raw material and women converted It to
living uses. Spinning , weaving , dressmak
Ing , nurelng , all the Industrial functions
were developed in the home , but gradually ,
as factories assumed these functions , the
woman grew out of her pcaltlou as an
economic factor. From being a producer
she became a money spender. Then came
her dcslro for training , for education , which
grew at last Into the Idea that knowledge
to bo valuable must bo transmitted. Hence
the largo department club.
Illustrations were given of the altruistic
work of theao clubs. "Giving and receiving
are one , " said the speaker. "A womai
brings to the club her bent a sacred am
beautiful thing but whatever It Is she slm
ply follows her bent , which Is constuctlve
educational , nonreslstlng. "
MRS. HENROTIN'S PERSONALITY.
Mrs. Hcnrotln is a slight , graceful woman
with a pleasant voice , which she usco without ,
effort. She was charming last evening In a
gown ot brocaded satin and mousellno de
solo of a delicate pink color.
At the conclusion of Mrs. Henrotln's ad-
drcos the president Introduced "our own
Mra. Stoutenborcugh" of Plattsmouth , presi
dent of the Nebraska Kererotlon of Clubs ,
who was received with applause and the
Chautauqua salute. She said she looked
through country , and not city , spectacles ,
and then she went on to say how largo a
factor she believed the Woman's club to be
In moulding the Intellectual life of the small
community. She answered convincingly the
objector who believes the club hinders the
woman's work in the church and that other
critic who thinks the club Interferes with
homo duties "Society may endanger the
homo life , " she said , "so may drees , but the
club never docs ; wo do better teaching than
that. "
After recess the platform was cleared and
Miss Stella Hamilton announced a drama to
be given by the younger women ot the club.
It consisted of a representation of the vari
ous nations ot the earth In consultation with
Columbia over the Tranamlsslsslppi Exposi
tion. Miss Harford as England , Miss Byrne
as Germany , Miss Chandler as France , Mrs.
Caldwcll as Holland and Mrs. Patrick as
Columbia had leading parts and the per
formance was enlivened by local specialties ,
by a song from Scotland Mrs. Fltt and by
"Tho Choir Invisible , " which In the persons
of Messrs. Wheeler , Hazclton , Copcland and
Haverstock discoursed music just outside the
door. The major dome , Miss Allen , assisted
as a whistler In the closing ode , "Columbia ,
the Gem of the Ocean , " and the audtenco
rcee and Joined In the chorus , after which
most of those present came forward to bo
presented Individually to Mrs. Henrotln.
At 1:30 : o'clock today will occur the club
luncheon at the Mlllard , and this closes the
festivities of the week , slnco Mrs. Henrotln
must return to Chicago tonight.

Wo're proud of the goods wo sell. There isn't an
article in our whole store that we're ashamed to oiler
to any man or that any man need be ashamed to buy.
There is not an article wo sell that we do not honest
ly feel will give good service , and if wo should be
mistaken wo stand ready to give your money back or
replace your purchase with new. That's what we
call using people square. There aren't many houses
this side of the Atlantic that
try so hard to do a
straight- business and give good values and to sell
straight goods goods that will wear. Today , in the
face of an advanced market
, when goods have gone
up , and when the temptation is great to make a lit
tle extra profit we arc keeping prices down to the
level of last year. We're even dividing our small
profits to keep up our reputation of selling lower
than elsewhere. We like to sell goods cheap. That's
why we marked some new suits five dollars instead
of six or seven which we could get just as easily and
that's why we marked those fine fancy worsted suits
just opened $9.50 instead of twelve or fifteen. Of
course we expect you to appreciate this. Of course
you.will appreciate it if you take the trouble to go
into other stores and examine their offerings. They
seem to bo anxious enough to have you do it. The
more you look around the gladder you will be to trade
here. We want you to look around.
