HAYDEN BROS.
MANAGER OF MANY MILLIONS
Felix Otte fchuittr, OoTernor of London
Union Baik, ii Here.
GERMAN BY BIRTH, BRITISH BY ADOPTION
.Voted Financier Tnrrlr Ilrlrfly lit
Oiuaha on III Way to Denver
and Other Western
Point.
Felix Otto Schuster, governor ot the
Union Dank of London, was a visitor in
Omaha for about an hour yesterday. He
arrived here in company with J. C. Well
ing, vice president of tho Illinois .Central,
the trip being made here from Chicago in
Mr. Welllug's prlvato car. In waiting here
was the Dclleclare, tho privato car of Pres
ident Jeffery ot the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad. This was attached to the Union
Pacific's faHt mall and Mr. Schuster went
west In company with Superintendent Dax
ter ot the Union Pacific.
The object ot Mr. Schuster's visit in this
country Is said to be pleasure. His posi
tion with the Union Dank of London has no
exact counterpart In the banking system of
this country. He docs not have the, active
part in the management of tho business
which is conferred on the president ot an
American bank, but more authority Is con
nected with his post. He stands somo
whero betweon the president and the chair
man ot -the executive committee
Bllzttire of ticrmnn and HrltUh.
Mr. Schuster Is a German but strongly
Dritlsh In his senttmentB and present afllll
atlons. In the financial world he Is one of
the leaders and bis visit through the west
Is considered of considerable importance- by
moneyed men who have been entertaining
him elaborately. Several days were spent
In Chicago, where many entertainments
were given by the bankers In bis honor.
From Omaha he went to Denver and after
a short stop will proceed to San Francisco,
whero be expects to remain a week and
then return east.
"Wo havo had a big war," said Mr.
Schuster, "but we can stand It all right.
Thero le no danger ot our credit," and tho
banker laughed at the reports that hnvo
been spread In this country concerning the
financial condition of England. "We could
stand It all right it we had to borrow ten
million more. The interest would still be
perfecly safe. You can say to your people
that we are still safe, despite the reports
which have been circulated.
Ill First Trip Wrt.
"This Is my first trip west of Chicago
and I am very much Interested In every
thing I see. The conditions of business;
You know better than I do as far as this
country Is concerned, but they appear to be
very good. I have been delighted with
everything I have seen and am enjoying my
trip vtry much.
"No, there Is no special significance to
this trip. I urn merely out for pleasure and
wanted to see this part of the country. I
stopped in Chicago for a very delightful
time and now go west to Denver and then
to San Francisco, after which I will return
east and homo again."

The cattle losses In tno west havo been
greatly exaggerated, according to the re

WILD SCRAMBLE FOR HOMES
Site of Fropesed Auditorium Looks Like a
Oberekee Strip.
RIGHT OF POSSESSION IS DISPUTED
City Itcfnea to (,'rant Removal Per
mit nnil Tenant Try to Stove In by
Force, While llurlr Gnnrili
Hold Them Uack.
The site of the proposed auditorium has
turned into a llttlo Cherokee strip.
A crowd of tenants Is standing along
Jackson street ready to make a rush fur
the vacant bouses, and burly guards are
waving the ctowds back. The gates to tho
yard's are nailed up aud great placards on
tho trees bear .the warning: '
This Is the Property of the
Auditorium Company.
No Trespassing.
Two of tho houses aro occupied nnd
would-bo tenants are eagerly waiting for un
opportunity to establish themselves In the
other four houses. Every time tho guards
fall back, tho houso hunters surge Into the
yards in spite of the warning on the trees,
and It takes a vigorous flourishing of clubs
to oust them.
I(mv the Strife Started.
All the strife was brought about by the
sale of the houses to E. J. Sullivan as agent
for Paul W. Horbach. After $700 had been
paid for the houses the city refused to
grant permits to move the buildings Into
tho north part of tho city. The contract
called for the removal ot the bouses by
April 10. The owner couldn't move them.
The Auditorium company Is said to. have
kept one of the bouses in its possetslon.
Violations ot contract arc charged by all
persons concerned. '
