A local publication occupied to columns
yesterday morning in exploiting an ingenIous
btmt laimientably nldietmious scimemno to
imulltmemiec time district court in the
legal comitroversy between the rlvai
Oriental concessionists at the exposition -
sition , The article consists of a long presen-
tatlon of one side of time case , which Is immu-
mistakably suggestive of busIness office in-
shsiratlomi ammd the auuirnus whicJi promnptcd
its publication is readily apparent. This
consists In a weak effort to give the liii-
pression that the editor of Time flee has a
Iersotmai interest in the suppressloum of the
Streets of Cairo in the apparent expectation
that time allegation will iavo weight wIth
tue court upon whose docket the case up-
pears. The article declares that at the time
wimen the contract for the Streets of Cairo
was closed Mr. Roscvntor was imm Nashville
attending the Tennessee Centeminial expost-
tlomi , It proceeds to stnt that Gastomm Akoumu
was operating a similar cOncession at Nash-
vihlo at that timne and wits also plauning to
secure v. similar privlh'ge at Omnahma. It Is
covertly intimated witluotmt giving any rca-
soul for the assertion , thimit during his stay
at Nashville Mr. flosewater hmad some miegoti.
mitions with Akoun in regard to the Omaha
concession and that lie was rntmciu displeased
to find on his return that the concession hail
beemm hot to Leopold l3onet. Timis forms a
bests for time supposition that follows , which
is thmat the action of time exposition nmnmmagc-
uncut in declaring the Streets of Cairo comm-
tract forfeited is merely a scheme of Mr.
hiosewator to favor Akoun.
That rnmrt of the publication which refers
to. Mr. Rosewater is obviously a miysteumiatie
schenme inspired by the real owners of the
Streets of Cairo to prejudice the court In
their favor. As a matter of tact , Mr. hose-
water did not even see Akoun at Nashville
ansI imad no conversatiomm witlm himmi imntii
seine timmie afterward , when Akoun came to
Omualma to secure his concession ammd cmiiIei
on all the nmemnbers of tue execumtive corn-
mulitteti , Mr. Akoun was recornumuemitheul hy
George \V. Unimmger , who saw his establishment -
mont at NaslmviIh. Mr. Llnimmger had trmtv-
clod in Egypt and Algeria anti assured time

tile mnmatter 'as turned over to thu depart-

In this conmmeetiomm it is a notorious fact
flint Leopold IJommet , who Is time ostensible

merely an enmployc of E , A. Folder nod Dion
