STOCK EXCHANGE HEARING
Defens3 Closes IU Testimony with a Good
the wing.
SHIPPER WHD IS WELL SATISFIED
Blnco of Ulnlr Tell * III * Experience
and Given IIIn Opinion In Favor
of the I'rem-nt Method
at Ilulnc > .
Thft South Omaha Live Stock exchange
yesterday afternoon completed the Introduc
tion of the testimony with which It pro
poses to combat the action brought by the
government to dissolve It on the grounds
that It exists In violation of the Sherman
nntl-trust low and to the detriment of In
terstate commerce. The hearing la to take
place on April C.
One of the two wltnesrcs culleJ was Rich
ard Bloco , a shipper of stock of Blair , who
has been In the business for 'the ' last twen
ty-five years. Speaking from the stand
point of a shipper , ho eald that In hid opin
ion the exchange Is In the nature of a pro
tection to shippers , because the rules fix a
uniform cule of charges and set down a
principle of doing business. Any deviation
Is punishable. As a consequence the rules
compel the commission men to do a square
and honeet business. The witness said that
ho had talked to many fhlppora In the state
obout tbo exchange and had found them
without exception favorable to It , because
they felt sure ot being treated right at the
South Omaha market. .
On cross-examination Mr. Blaco was asked
regarding the dockage system. He said that
he believed that It was curried on Justly and
right. It was something that had to bo
done and the exchange Is In a position to
get disinterested men and men who know
their buelncas. He had never wen nor heard
of an Instance where the decker bad dis
criminated In favor of the exchange.
"Do you think that the shipper ought to
have a say In the selection of such an Im
portant man as the decker ? " asked the dis
trict attorney.
"The shipper does have a say , " answered
the witness. "The commission man who
represents me fipeaks for me as If I had been
there. "
CONSIDERS EXOHA7TOE NECESSARY.
The witness Instated that the exchange Is
conducive to the transaction ot business at
the market. He admitted that the business
could bo done without the exchange , but he
said that It could not be done as well as with
the exchange In existence. The men who
compose it arq competent and give a bond
to deal fairly , although. In answer to the
question , the witness admitted that he had
no personal knowledge of any case where a
bond was given. The witness said that he
had sold Block at South Omaha before the
exchange was established , eight or nine
years ago , but he was more satisfied under
the present system.
The other witness of the afternoon was D.
U. Olney , who was called to contradict the
testimony of Lafayette Coltrln , glvea at the
hearing of the government. Coltrln awore
that ho had practically bcou driven out of
business by tlie exchancc. At the time be
. -prcaMe&t of ih old Omaha Live Stock
company , air , Olney , who was vlco presi
dent of the eamp coucern and c salenman ,
denied emphatically that the firm had 4een
' driven out of kuilneu by the exchange. Ho
aid that It had broken up on account of
ome quarrel between the members of the
company , the nature of which ho refused to
tell. 'He said that the Omaha Live I3tock
company succeeded Spetz , Olney &iCo. , which
hnd .been doing a very good 'business.

OERTER IS HELD FOR TRIAL
be of the Alleged Proprietors of the
Baided Gambling Booms.
BOUND OVErt TO DISTRICT COURT
Gordon Decide * ( he Evidence
Sufficiently StmtiilUM the- Charge
of Setting tip nnil Mnlntuln-
Gambling Device * .
Henry Oerter was held yesterday In
! 85Q bonds to the district court by Police
tudze Gordon for setting up and maintain-
ng gambling devices and running a
gambling room. James Hcffncr , charged
with the same offenses , was discharged , the
court holding that the evidence which sought
o connect him with the operation of the
gambling house over Oerter's saloon at 1409
Douglas street was Insufficient.
Shortly after Judge Gordon opened court
yesterday the preliminary hearing of the
gambling cases was taken up where It had
icen dropped Saturday , and with the In-
roductton of testimony that was Immaterial
counsel for the defendants rested their case.
Assistant County Attorney Jeffries waived
ho opening argument and Attorney Dunn
: alked for more than an hour In an attempt
: o show that Oerter had not been proved
> y the testimony to bo the owner of the
place. The attorney said that , even ad-
ntttlng Oerter's connection la the premises ,
.he courts had already bcld that the eamc
ambling devices In evidence were for the
nirposo of carrying on gainca of Judgment
and skill , and consequently they were not
gambling Implements. Jeffries , for the
> rcsecutlon , replied to this argument by
showing how conclusively the- state had
pro\ed the ownership of the gambling room.
Oerter furnished a bond for his appear *
once In the district court.
The preliminary hearing of the gambling
cases ncalnst Cliff Cole and others Is set
for this morning , although In all probability
the defendants will waive examination.

( What Compromise In Offered.
The question of a confercnco with the
bondsmen of Henry Bolln for the purpose
of bearing what the- bondsmen had to offer
In the way of a compromise settlement of
the Judgment In favor of the city was briefly
considered by the city council at the general
committee meeting yesterday afternoon. The
action taken went no further than a de
cision to appoint a special committee tonight
to meet representatives of the bonda-
men and hear what they had to say. The
matter will bo further considered by the
council when a definite proposition has been
submitted.
A naaJjr c ! bakers appeared to protest
against Health Commissioner Spaldlng's
new ordinance for the- regulation of bake
shops. The bakers objected tualnly to the
provision which prohibits the manufacture

tbat they would hold a meeting and formu
late their objections and the ordinance was
consequently laid over.
The recommendation of City Engineer
Rosewater that a laboratory bo established

O. C. Holmes and several Douglas street

who located their carts In front of their
ilacca of buslners and obstructed traffic.
They eald that the ordinance that Llccase
Inspector McVlttlo la now preparing would
_ lve them sufficient relief and asked that
.he ordinance be passed.
After the committee meeting the council
met In special session to Introduce the In
tersection bond ordinance. Thla action was
taken In order that the ordinance may be
pcesed at the regular meeting tonight and
: ho proceeds of the bonds made available
as soon as possible. <
SVLE OP MARKET HOUSE STALLS.
Union Gardener * II re alt Awny- from
Leader * and Get IMncoN.
The sale of preferences for market plice
stalls has been ftalshed. Six additional stalls
were disposed of for $2.50 apiece and then
the demand fell off and the remainder of Urn
gardeners were evidently willing to take
chances on the places that were left. It
seems that the officers of the Market Garden
ers association have been unable to * hold the
members In line , for most of them have
either drc-pped In at the last minute aod
secured stalls or had others secure them for
them. The aggregate sale Included 107 stalls
which were disposed of at premiums rang
ing from $2.50 to $13 each. The total re
ceipts were )468 , or over $4 o stall. This Is
about double what they brought a year ago.
Moving ( he Do line/ Street School.
The public schools are closed thlg week
for the usual spring vacation and the time
will be utilized to move the Dodge school
Into the new temporary quarters. Nothing
Is being done In that direction today as the
board doca not get possession of the new
rooms until the first of the month , but the
movable articles In the Dodge building -will
be ready to move In the quickest possible
time attar that date. Then It will require
a couple of weeks at least to get the school
building ready for occupancy as a Jail , and
It will probably be near the middle of April
when the old Jail quarters areperiuantely
discarded.
Stop * Street Cleaning.
The fall of snow hag -cut a stop to
systematic street cleaning for the remainder
of the month , Superintendent Deverly had
a small gang of men at work clceanlng the
snow off the cross walks In the business
districts , but aside from this nothing will
be done until tbo snow Is off. Wore than
two-thirds of the paved surface of the city
has been cleaned at a cost of only a little
over $1,200. This Is less than half what the
same work has previously cost. The refuse
has been cleaned up and carted away for
30 cents a yard which It cost from $1 to $1.50
a yard to move In previous years.

At the meeting of tbe Board of Fire and
Pollco Commissioners last , night action was
taken upon the resignation of Mrs. S. L.
Bennett , police matron , -which was submit
ted with no assigned'reason. Several ap
plications were received for the position and
the appointment was conferred upon Mrs.
D. D. Tlcdeman , wife of the patrol con
ductor shot last June In the performance of
his duty. The appointment Is a popular
one among the force on this account. It
will go Into effect on April 1.
Further evidence was taken in tbo matter
ot the contested application of the Schlltz
Brewing company for a liquor license at
3802 Sherman avenue. Argument was made
for the contestants by John W. Hosier , one
of their number , showing that the location
was at the entrance of an enclosed space
shut in by the exposition fence and that It
would bo necessary for the Inmates of fifty
houses to pass Us doors dally. The appli
cants set forth that they had bought the
property in good faith and had reared a
permanent structure upon it. Further that
the locality was a business neighborhood
and that they proposed to conduct an or
derly place. A decision was deferred until
next Monday.
The matter of police protection upon the
exposition grounds was considered and the
chief ot police was Instructed to confer with
the exposition directory and to report at the
next meeting.

One Omaha Concern Finds Itself Able to
Branch Oat.
BEMIS BAG COMPANY JO EXTEND
I'lntiN for n Four-Story Aililltlon to
Itn Omnlin I'lnnt Arc Henclj-
for Letting the
Contract.
The Bcmls Omaha Bag company la about
ready to commence the erection of a four-
fcllory addition to Its plant located at ttho
corner of Eleventh and Jacktxm streets , and
to correspondingly Increase Its capacity. All
tbe details have been worked out , and all
> tlmt remains Is the awarding of the contract
for the construction , which Is to bo done
by J. M. liemls of Boston , the president
of the Bcmls Brothers' Bag company.
Tbo new structure Is to be built directly
In the rear of the prcecnt establishment ,
which consists ot a alx-story building , 68x132
feet , nnd a boiler house two stories In height ,
The new building will also be 66x132 feet ,
and will bo four stories high. It will di
rectly adjoin the present building In tbo
rear , Its slxfy-slx eel frontage being placed
upon Jones rtrcet. Its framework will beef
of Qtcol and the walls will be of brick. The
front will be of pressed brick. The
latest improved mill construction will be
employed In the building. ,
The entire half of the upper and fourth
etory of the building will be devoted entirely
to the use anl convenience of the employes.
It will bo divided Into two big rooms for the
use of the men and women , respectively , '
employed In the plant. These rooms will be
fitted up with proper gymnasium apparatus
and with card tables. The employes will be
permitted to eat their luncheons In them and
hot tea and coffee will be provided. The
quarters will consequently be In the nature
of a combination of recreation and lunch
rooms. The Uca Is one of Manager Peter's
ind Its maintenance will depend entirely on
the success that attends.
The company proposes also to Install In Its
new quarters the latest Improved machinery
In the manufacture of bags. Tbd motive
power as far as possible will be electricity.
These ne-.v appliances , machinery and motors
will cost somewhere between $5,000 and $10-
000. By all these Improvements the capacity
of the plant will be Increased at least 25
per cent and the force of operatives will also
tie Increased somewhat.
The bag company proposes to occupy the
: ntlre nsw building , the two-story
taller building and three floors of
the main building. The other
three floors of the latter .will . be
occupied by King & Smead , manufacturers
3f clothing. They already occupy two floors.
They propose to put In a considerable amount
ot new machinery and to enlarge their plant
In various ways. The Improvements they
put In will Increase the capacity of their
plant fully one-third. If not more.

Several questions of general Interest were
discussed at yesterday's meeting of the
Real Estate exchange. Tree planting
throughout the city was first considered
and It was decided to district the city and
appoint a member of the exchange to visit
property owners In each district and Induce
them to plant trees. This plan was adopted
last year , w th the result that thousands of
trees .were set out on the strength of the
exchange's efforts.
E. O. Benson , John W. Bobbins and Colonel
nel Broadwell were appointed a committee
to look after the general cleaning up and
Improvement of the city.
Rev. Dr. Butler and Major Clarkson will
bo Invitedto attend , the next meeting as
euests of the exchange. Rev. Dr. Butler
will be asked to talk on advertising the
exposition and Major Clarksou will speak
on the entertainment of visitors during the
exposition. The Commercial club will pre
pare a special dinner and all members ot
the exchanee are urged to come and bring

If you don't want a shirtwaist for your youngster
today you may want it tomorrow or next week or
next month. What we want to impress on you is to
look for it here. Wo have the largest line , the choicest
line , the "moat money saving line , that ever came to
Omaha , but of course you'd expect us to say that
anyhow , even if wasn't so. It is so. You will find
out after awhile , if you don't already know it , that
we never no never put anything in the papers that
we can't back up in the store. Speaking of backing
things up , we have some more of those nobby little
Junior Suits at 81.75 , 82.00 , § 2.25 and $2.50 , that
went off like wildfire when wo first showed them a
few weeks since and we told you in the papers at the
time that they wore better and prettier than some
stores sell for double our price , and you found it so
although you didn't believe it when AVO told you so"
at the time. Now is a good time to pick out one of
those suits for Easter because there is a chance that
if you wait till the last moment yoii'll"find them all
gone. It isn't at all likely that they will be all gone
today or tomorrow , but then you can't tell. They're
remarkable value , and unexpected things have hap
pened here before now.
