ing Divide on What They
Want Bone.
LEASES RUN UNTIL YEAR 1919
When E. M. Morsman Rets back In the
city after being gone a few days ha win
ba facing a little difficulty In regard to
what to do with the Board of Trade
building alnca the fire a difficulty that
involves the tenants and the leases. The
lease run until 1919. The tenants are di
vided on the matter as to whether they
want to force the stockholders to put up a
building, and let their Icaees run their
normal course on that corner, whether
they want to force them to repair tha
old building in the shortest possible time,
or whether than want to move out and
forget the leases.
A certain clique of the tenants Is being
banded together to demand the Immediate
repairing of the building and the putting
of their offices back Into shape ao that
the tenants may occupy them until tha
termination of the lease. Others of the
tenants are not In sympathy with this
movement, as they hold the fire which de
stroyed the office rooms and made them
uninhabitable necessarly terminated the
lease automatically.

work taking down salvage, removing at
least the 'upper two floors In mmnlim-
with the orders of City Commissioner

dragging out the wrecked parts and
charred material of other floors that
must be removed at any rate, whether the
building is repaired or robullt eventually.

Manley is Back from
Navigation Meeting
A permanent organization on river
navigation was effected ,in Pt. Louis
during the two days' conference, which
was attended" by J. W. Gamble and
Robert H. Manley as representatives from
Omaha. Mr," Manley -has returned and
Mr. Gamble Is expected back In a day
or so.
This was a conference to consider the
kind of terminals to be decided upon for
the various cities that are planning for
river navigation. There were representa
tives present from towns along the Mis
souri, Mississippi and Illinois rivers, from
Minnesota and New Orleans.
Ex-Governor , Eberhart of Minnesota
presided at the meeting. He appointed a
committee' consisting of two men from
each of the several states interested, to
constitute an official body, whose func
tion will be to keep Irt direct touch with
the cities' planning on river navigation,
and co-operate with them. J. W Gamble
and Robert Money were appointed as
the members of the committee from
Omaha. t
"It was the general feeling," said
Manley, on returning, "that whatever
develops along the Una of river navi
gation, it will be of necessity along fines
that are not antagonistic to the rail
roads, but that it will be conducted in
inch a way that each type of transporta
tion will be a benefit to the other."

' cral court, which was halted Friday
