MARTIN'S ROLE IN THE DURNT DISTRICT MoiiHlroiiR Impniltlon Upon llrlplei * Vic tims of Aiurlto In Connlviiuoj with I.iiz 1'ollco OlllcinU Tlio I'udrono H/ltein In the Iliirnl District. It rcrinlrca but Illtlo Investigation to ca- tnljllnh the fact that the unfortunate women who Inhabit the territory known as the "burnt district" are victims of systematic extortion at the lianda of their landlords , It appears that nliic-tcntlm of the rentable property In this district Is either owned or controlled by n single man. Consequently lie has an Iron clad monopoly and Is able to dlctnto exorbitant rentals without op- position. According to municipal regula tion his tcnhnu are not allowed to go out- sldo of this territory nnd they must pay whatever he may demand or leave the city altogether. The greater part of the property In the burnt district Is controlled by Mr. M. ! * . Martin. The tenants of nearly , If not quite , nine-tenths of the buildings In thl territory that arc occupied as houses of prostitution pay their rent either directly to him or to his agents. In a number of cases the lot on which bis buildings are located Is owned by other persons , but Is leased by Mr. Martin for a term of years. The buildings have been erected by him on the leased premises and are under bis personal management. The rents paid by the women who have been unfortunate enough to bccotno a part of this life beyond the pale ot society are enormous. There are several cases In which the yearly rental of the buildings amount to more than the original cost. The terms linvo been Invariably cash In advance and the tenants are required to pay their own bills for gas , water and Insurance , and keep the 'property ' In repair. The landladies of the more pretentious resorts usually deal with Mr. Martin In person , but ho lias several agents who collect the rent from tliy more degraded Inmates of the district. The nucleus of the colony , of vice , as well as the resorts most patronized by fashion able rounders , Is found on Ninth street between Douglas street and Capitol avenue. The first forty feet on the west sldo of Ninth street north of Douglas Is occupied by a saloon. From there north to Dodge street stretches a row of bawdy houses of various degrees of pretentlon , all of which are di rectly or Indirectly under the control of Martin. The next forty feet north of the saloon Is owned by Mattle Martin , M. F. Martin's wife. The property Is assessed at $1,540. On this lot Is located a two- story and basement briclc structure. The building Is of medium size , scarcely oc cupying half the lot. It Id one of the old est buildings on the street and Is said to be In very poor condition. It rents , however , for $175 a month unfurnished , the tenant paying for oil gas , water , repairs , etc. ONE YEAR PAYS THE COST. The next fifty-two feet Is owned by' M. F. Martin and Is assessed at $4,800. This Is the "Castle , " which Is the moat pretentious structure from an architectural standpoint In the district. It Is comparatively a new building , and four stories high with a gray limestone front. Half of It Is now occupied by a madam , who pays ? 2l)0 ) per month for the bare walls. Last year the other half was run In partnership by M. F. Martin and Miss Mann. Tlio remaining two lota on the block arc leased by Mr. Martin , who lia ? erected the .buildings. The first sixty-six feet Is par tially occupied by a two-story building with a stone front , which contains three suites of apartments. Tlie occupant of the first pays | 1EO a month. The first floors of the Tcmalnlnz apartments are rented to a couple of women for $100 and $70 a month respec tively. The rent for this building Is col lected by Nels Selcroe , the contractor , -vvho erected them , who Is supposed to collect the rent until It amounts to what Is du him on his contract. The lot and building are assessed at $1,400. On the last sixty-six feet of the block which Is the southwest corner of Ninth and Dodge streets , stands u row of one-story brick flats. There arc half a dozen of them in all and they are occupied by women of the most degraded character , who pay $3 a day each for the use of one of the , flats. Each flat contains three rooms , one behind another. The first Is a parlor , about 8x10 In size , which opens on the street. This Is furnished with a cheap carpet , n sheet Iron stove and a couple of pieces of furniture. Dack of this is n bedroom furnished with a cheap chamber set , and this opens Into a sort of kitchen that Is not furnished at all. None of the rooms are much moro than largo enough to turn around In nnd the furnishings of each set of apartments are worth from $30 to $50. These palatial structures bring In a dally rental of $18 , or $ K40 a month. This would amount to over $0,000 per year , or fully twice what the buildings cost to construct. This corner lot Avltli the buildings Is ns.sessed at $2,575. Tjio mansion on the northwest corner of Ninth and Dodge streets Is owned and occu pied by-a party who also'claims to hold the title to the lot. The two lots north of that are assessed at $3,500 apiece. The first Is partially covered by a double two-story brick house , which Is now empty. On the other lot stand three two-story and basement wooden flats , which arc occupied. These flats rent for $375 a month. " Across the street stand two large brick establishments occupied. Uoth the lot and buildings are owned by Mr. Martin , and are assessed at $2,700. This also Includes the two-story brick building on the corner , which was formerly used as a saloon but Is now occupied by a number ot women who pay from $3 to $5 per day for apartments. The , two largo buildings are constructed at brick and are three stories high. Tlio one nearest the corner Is occupied by a woman who pays a rental of $200 a month. The rent was formerly $300 , but last July the figures were pllghtly reduced on a throat by the occupant to Itavo the house unless a reduction was made. The adjoining houto Is sadly out pf repair , and when the present occupant took control the planter was oft from the \valls In nearly all of the rooms. Water pipes had btirsted and caused considerable damage , but the struuluro- commanded a fancy prlco just the same. At one tlmo It rented for $400 a month. Then It was re duced to $3GO , then to $300 , and later to . $260. Last July times became so hard that 'the tenant declared that she would leave un less a further reduction was made , and she now rents the house for $200. The reduction vas partially made In consideration of the fact that she liaa been at an enormous ) ex- pcnso for repairs , which had become neces sary through tlio neglect of former occu pants. Mr , Martin collects the rent from these houses In person. The northeast corner of Ninth and Dodge streets Is occupied by a three-story and base ment structure which rents to Lottie Lee for $200 a month. The building la ot wood throughout and Is constructed In the cheap est possible manner. Just back of this building , at 622 Dodge street. Is a building similar In design , but Inferior In nlze , which is occupied by a courtesan. It rents ( or 1125 a month , but In this case the water bills are paid by the landlord. Lot and buildings are assessed at $3,000. On the oppposlto corner Is a two-story wooden building , which Is also rented. Thin rents at $35 per week , and with a number of Other buildings Is assessed at $1,000. The three wooden buildings named are owned by Mr , Martin , who colllecU the rent. KENT OF SMALLEU UU1LDINGS. Two small wooden buildings at 103 and 105 South Ninth street rent for $1 a day each. The rent Is collected by an old woman who lives In ono of the apartments. She U sup posed to bo one ot Mr. Martin's agents. From 107 to 113 U a row of one-atory brick flat * ilmllar tohoio across the street. Each number represents three mnall rooms which are arranged In a manner ilmllar to those already described. The celling * are o low that they can almost be reached from tbe floor , uid tbe joUU that support the root l * t tin room . TUMO olio rent for $3 a day each , and the rent goes Into Mr. Martin's coder * . The rent Is col lected by the man who Is known as "Harry. " All these buildings are Included In the $1,000 assessment on the lot. There nro seventeen homes of prostitu tion on the north side of Capitol avenue be tween Ninth and Tenth. They are occupied by courtesans ot the most abandoned de scription. Next to Ninth street are two pmnll two-story frame buildings which rent for $5 each a day. A row of one-story frame shanties occupy the middle of the block. They contain six apartments which rent for $2.GO a day each. On the west half of the block stands a row of one-story brick fiats which bring $5 a day apiece. The building * are nil ot chcnp construction , but a mental calculation develops the fact that the com bined rental amounts to $70 a day , $2,100 n month , or $25,200 a year. The property li only assessed At $5,040. It may be seen that a handsome Interest Is realized on tin Investment. Tlio rentals are attended to by Mrs. Lowla , otherwise known as Mrs. Slo- brliky , who was formerly the proprietor of the "Manchester" at Thirteenth street and Capitol avenue. For the past few months Martin's tcnanti havn been unable to pay the exorbitant rents a month In advance and Martin Is now mak ing his collections from week to week and from day to day In advance. He Is living on the street and Is taking every precaution not to lose any part of the deadly grip he has upon the residents of the district. It would take columns to describe the out rages and Indignities he has heaped upon the unfortunate women who have fallen Into his clutches. ' Martin's rise has been rapid. He came to Omaha a few years ago without money. Ho started a little second hand furniture store , which soon blossomed Into an Inrtallment house. Talcs Innumerable were told of the schemes practiced by whlcl ; the profits of the business were enlarged Money flowed Into his strong box and he soon developed Into a promoter of a paying In dustry In the fuinlshlng of houses for women of the town. He has worked his opportunl ties until now ther.e Is hardly a woman o the town who does not In some way pay tribute to him. He openly boasts of his pull With certain olllclals who have a hand in the regulation of vice In Omaha and Is In a position to drive any woman out of town who will not submit to his extortions In the mat ter of rents and furniture deals. NG TIII.UMIVIS : : : ruivr. One of tlio NontvHt mill licit Appointed Hlion Stores In Oiimlm. Last Saturday there was opened In this city one of the most elegant shoo houses that has been hcen here In many a day. It was the new store of T. P. Cartwrlght & Co. , at 1415 Douglas. They have not spared u cent that would In nny way have enhanced the beauty of their store or the value of their stock. They have completely renovated Schoelply's old stand , and have placed therein a most complete line of extra flne and medium price shoes for both ladles and gentlemen. The Imported feather fans which they gave away on the opening day were something a little beyond the reach of the ordinary dealer and were eagerly sought for by all the lady callers. As souvenir distributors they cer tainly stand at the head , and If they keep as good a grade of shoes , which bids fair to bo the case , they will certainly deserve a little moro than a share of the business. Another new feature , n permanent one , which will be appreciated by both ladles and gentlemen. Is the polishing department , where a first-class artist of sable hue will put a shine on your shoes that will be con- sldcred par excellance as to beauty , but will preserve the shoes from the many acid prep arations that are going the rounds just now , and arc so Injurious to the shoo leather. This Is all done free of charge by Messrs. Cartwrlght & Co. , who win be pleased to have any lady or gentleman call and see them , and while looking over the new store to rest in the shining chair. The fact that you may have bought your shoes elsewhere should not prevent you from enyoylng the pleasure of ono of these shines. They will not ' "run down" your shoes , nor will they bore you with Importunities to buy. o ' Good music , flne boating , Courtland beach.

TEN YEAIMJOR BURGLARY. Sentence of Frank.Vrlitirr . for Entering n llcruonjl'luco Ilonlilmro. Frank Webber wm , before the Judge of tlio criminal court yesterday , whore be was sen tenced to a tcrml of ten years In tlio peni tentiary. Webber was convicted of bur glary , but ho will not bo a stranger to the Inmates of the strong house In Lincoln , as this will bo the third time that ho has been there. Webber was put on trial a few days ago and was convicted of having burglarized the residence of a Mr. Kdge , In Ilcimon place. The crlhio was committed during the early hours of the morning , and as Webber left , Mrs. Edge arose , dressed and followed him to the city , where she pointed him out to a policeman , who made the arrest. IIIIUTT AUQUITTKU. Krror In a Mortgage Uulckly Kudu tlio Milt AKnliiftt II in , The case of the state against John M , Brett has been stricken from the dockets of the criminal court , the Jury returning a verdict of not guilty. Some months ago Brett was arrested on a warrant Issued upon an Information sworn out by Berry Bros. & Co. of South Omaha , charging that ho had obtained property of the value of $7,800 , by reason of false repre sentations. In fact the South Omaha people charged that Brett visited their place , tell ing them that he had a lot of cattle in Cherry county , on which he wanted an ad vance until the animals were fit for the mar ket. The loon was made , but the clerk drawing up the mortgage failed or neglected to Insert that the cattle were on n ranch In Cherry county. Some time later a represen tative of the South Omaha stock firm went up to Cherry county and there learned that Brett was not the owner of any cattle In that county. Upon his return Brett was arrested and bound over to appear at this term of the district court. A couple of days ago the case was started , the state putting In Its testimony , after which a brother-in-law of Brett went upon the stand and testified that the cattle described In the mortgage were upon u ranch In Hall county , Instead of In Cherry county. After listening to the tes timony the jury found for the defendant , the costs being taxed to the county. I.lfo Iiiaimuiro hull. In the case of Maria Weiss , widow of Jacob Weiss , against the Independent Order of Trcubund , wherein suit was brought for the recjvery of $1,000 , the amount of a life policy carried by the , deceased , the defendant answered , denying that the widow has a Just and valid claim. In the answer the defend ant alleges that In securing the risk the deceased represented that he was but 4C years of age , when. In fact , ho was more than 49. an ago "that would have barred him from participating In the benefits of the company had , ho made statements which were true. _ _ _ _ _ _ Contestants Appeal. In the case of the contest of the will of the late Mary C. Ramacclottl the contestants havp appealed from , the decision of the pro bate court , and have taken the case to the district court. By the terms of the will the 'property , aggregating some$30,000 , was bequeathed to an , adopted child , Relations of the dead woman contested , . " , alleging that at the time of executing the will Mrs. Horn- acciottl was not ot sound mind. License. The legal ' 'end , of the protest against the Issuance of "a saloon license to George Yager of Valley 'was. argued. . In the criminal sec tion of the district court yesterday after noon. The court held with the .parties who protested , and the license was refused. In evidcnco It developed that during the past year Yager violated the state law by keeping his saloon open on Sunday. Got a Jail Sentence. Fred Baker was before the criminal sec tion of the district court yesterday and was sentenced to 200 days in the county jail. Baker was originally charged with burglary and was tried upon that chacgc , but about the time of the completion of the trial , the county attorney concluded that he could not make his case , after which ho agreed to acr ccpt a plea of petit larceny. ' Wan n Special I'ollccnmn , A motion for a new trial has been argued In the case of the state against James Junc- schek. The defendant la the man' who was convicted of having assaulted Charles War ner , at the corner of Thirteenth and Wil liams streets some months ago. In making a defense he claimed that he made the as sault while serving In the capacity of a special policeman. _ Minor Court Mutturd. Sarah A. Woodman , widow of the late Clark Woodman who died In Chicago on August 19 , 1891 , has applied to the district court for un order authorizing her to sell some of the real estate that was owned by her husband. In the suit brought by John A.
