KING PETER IS FRIENDLY
Baler of Servla Would Have Diplo
matic. Relatloas Maintained
with Thla Coaatrr.
LERLIN, Nov. .-M. Mlletchevltch, the
Servian minister here, has requested United
States Ambassador Tower to forward to
Washington an authograph letter from
King Peter to President Roosevelt. Inform
ing him of his accession to the throne. Mr.
Tower accepted the letter and cabled the
fact to Washington. The step taken by
King Peter Is doubtless designed to bring
about a resumption of diplomatic relations
between Servla and the United States which
lapsed after the assassination of King Al
exander and Queen Drag.
John P. Jackson, the United States minis
ter to Greece, Roumanla and Scrvla, was
making a tour of the Balkans, preaentlng
his credentials at the time of the tragedy
and ha avoided going to that city on In
structions from Washington. Indirect In
quiries have been made by the authorities
at Belgrade as to whether he did not In
tend to visit King Peter s court, to which
he replied that he would not do so until
directed from Washington, which, until
Ambassador Tower forwarded his dispatch.
has not been officially Informed that such
a person as King Peter existed. Precisely
why the Servian king's letter should have
been sent through this embassy instead of
the embassy at Vienna does not appear.

Sir Chen in a speech said: "My bounden
duty and my highest ambition Is to create
good feeling between the country of my
birth and tha country of my bringing up.
It Is hard to conceive two countries like
China and tha United States to be other
than friendly. Every day's happenings
draw the two .nations closer together. I
found that standards here were quite dif
ferent to what they were In China. There
It was study all the time. Hera It was dlf
fsrent. When I left America I found my
sura total of accomplishments was a little
Latin, less Greek, but a whole Jot ot base

OMAHA HEAL ESTATE
The Omaha real estate column which is
appearing In The RuudH.v Res Is evidently
becoming's popular department. Already
a number of favorable comments have been
heard from resl estate men and from per
sons who own only the houses In which
they live, snd who have no propeily for
sale. Ever, quo who has had anything to
do with rjol property In Omaha dur
ing the last year will agree that the very
last lingering 111 effect of the old boom
overgrowth has been left Jiehlnd for sll
time, snd from now on houses and lots and
business blocks In this market town will
be first-class Investments, showing with
every passing year an Increasing per cent
of growth In value.
"The Investment and renting properties
owned by non-residents, and also mort
gages, are fast being aold to local Invest
ors." aald a .real estate dealer recently.
"especially those that can be purchased for
$5,000 or tinder. Tho man who has been
saving his money for several years. Intend
ing to soma day put It Into nn 'Income
propt-rty,' haft come to the conclusion that
he csn buy better now than In the spring
of 1004, consequently there, Is considerable
activity In rental bargains."
There are so few really good bargains of
this character remaining that some Invest
ors are looking for vacant lots close In,
where they can erect brick houses usually
double houses to rent. If the Investor can
buy the ground at a reasonable figure, say
under $2.6un, and builds his houses at a cost
of 3,000 to $4,000 each, he can rent such
property from the tlma the roof Is on, and
have the very best of tenants. Probably
there Is no better form of small Invest
ment to be triads In real estate than In
houses ot this character within easy walk
ing distance of down-town. A man of
small means could leave no better property
to his heirs, for brick property depreciates
very little from wear and tear, and prop
erly located, the ground value appreciates
very nearly as much as the Improvements
depreciate.
John P. Flnley has built more houses of
this character than perhaps any other man,
and he has found them such a good Invest
ment that ha contemplates building sev
eral more next year. His houses are all
new and well built, and he has so little
trouble In the care of them that he em
ploys no agent to collect the rents, al
though he has been absent from the -city
the grester part of the past year.
Tha prediction made In the early fall that
next spring would see a large amount of
building In residence districts waa wrong
only In naming too late a time for the move
ment to begin. More building permits have
been Issued this fall than In any previous
fall for probably ten years. In every part
of town a house here wnd a house there
may be noticed In course of erection. The
'rller ones, which were started by Inves
tors more quick to see the opportunity
thsn the general public, are many of them
praaMcally ready for occupation and will
become Income b ringers before the, end of
the year. Many other houses have hardly
been begun, but the construction work will
be pushed during cold weather so that they
may be ready for the spring demand for
rentable houses.
Meantime houses are found by homeseek
ers with Increasing difficulty. Two months
ago rental agents agreed that there had not
been so few vacant houses In this city dur
ing any year of ten past. Since that time,
notwithstanding ths considerable number of
new houses which have been put on the
rental marxet, tne uimcuity ci nnaing a
place to winter has Increased. There are
soma houses standing empty, but there Is in
almost every esse some particular disad
vantage which would irake them undesir
able. Rental agents are of one mind, that
In the spring, when the regular movement
from downtown flats and hotels begins,
there will be a genuine scramble for houses.
So the demand for building permits In
creases.
Speaking of building Investments W. H.
Thomas, who represents one of the largest
loan companies of New York, aald:
"Investors buy bonds and other high
grade securities yielding a low rate of In
terest not only for their safety, hut also
on account of their easy convertibility. The
same Is true 'of mortgages on good prop
erty. Consequently In making real estate
Investments bringing a larger return than a
bond or mortgage, the Investor should ex
ercise care to plan Improvements suitable
to the location and to construct these In
such manner as to appeal moat favorably
to the Investor. Architectural beauty should
not be overlooked, but the economic, fea
ture consists principally In planning for
the hltfhest possible Income that the loca
tion will permit. These things tend to e4se
of convertibility.
"Experience has demonstrated that the
following classes of Improvsments have not
proven satisfactory to the owners, espe
cially where they have attempted to sell or
offer them as security for loans: Three or
more attsched houses; houses having sub'
basement, with front entrance under steps
leading to second floor; .expensive rest
dences surrounded by chsap cottages; office
buildings where valuable ground floor space
Is destroyed by heavy stone walls or cdt
umna. The cumbersome effort toward
solidity of construction sacrifices valuable
ground floor space and light In modern
office buildings these disadvantages are
overcome by steel construction and large
windows."

D. Wead reports: "The three and one-
half acre tract known as the Verga home
