The funeral of Troy Nicholson took placo
yesterday afternoon from the undertaking

of tho Young Men's Christian association.
Interment was in Forest Lawn cemetery.
Troy Nicholson received Injuries which
resulted In his death at Kansas City,

THEY INSPECT BIG HALLS
M. F, Fnnkhnnaer nrut C. (J. I'enrae
Iletiirn from Visit to St. I.nnla
mid Knnaaa City..
M. F. Funkhouser, , speaking ot the trip
to St. Louis and Kansas City, made by him
self and C. Q. Poarse in tho Interest ot
the Auditorium company, said:
"What wo found out Is that a building
such as will bo built in Omaha is of greater
advantage to the city than could bo brought
about by the expenditure ot an equal
amount ot money In any other direction.
At St. Louis I had written to my brother
and Captain Galnno, who has charge of tho
exposition building In that city and they
had mado preparations for us. In that
city tho Exposition association went Into
debt $290,000 In excess' ot Its estimates and
this debt not only was paid out ot the re
ceipts ot tho building In ten years, but a
dividend has been declared. Tho manager
gave us a statement of the receipts and
expenses since the foundation 'of the as
sociation in 1884 or 1885, showing that the
entorprUe has been a paying venture. At
first somo of the wholesalers complained on
account of tho exposition, but they have
Blnco found It a' great advantage to busi
ness. Tho association mado one mistake
and that was In tho construction of thq
convention hall, a building which seats
nbout 16,000 people. It haH proved a losing
venture, but the' management believes that
with the exposition of 1903 even this will
bo made to pay.
"At Kansas City Mr. Clendonnlng of tho
Commercial club gavo us a cordial rcccp.
Hon and furnished us with the data we
desired. Their convention hall has brought
many things tq that city which othorwlso
would not havo been held there. It cost
$30,000 more than the estimate becauso of
tho necessity of completing It In tlmo for
tho democratic national convention. Tho
managers of this Institution estltnato that
It will bo occupied 100 days In the year, or
about one-third ot the tlmo, nnd that with
this use It has bcon self-supporting so far
as running expenses are concerned. At the
same time thero Is a debt upon the build
ing for construction which must bo paid
off, and to pay this thero havo been sev
eral enterprises carried out. From a guess
ing contest, held recently, tho company
netted ovor $10,000. This contest was car
ried out after It had been arranged so that
It did not conflict with tho laws of the
stato or the nation. A flower show brought
them In over $7,r.00 and a minstrel show
over $7,0C0,
"Whllo there la nn Intention to havo
somothlng going on every season to at
tract the people who visit Kr.nsna City
wholesalers, tho company Is not Interfering
In any way with tho legitimate theaters. At
St. Ixiuls they maintain a muslo hall and
enter Into a certain amount of competition
with tho regular places of amusement, but
In Kansas City this Is not so.
"The Kansas City building Is a model of
what an auditorium should bo on tho inside,
but ornamentation on tho exterior is yet to
bo completed."

I.nsv Itrcititr Insr Yenr'n Aire
for Ofllclnl l'nner.
According to tho now charter, bids for
printing the city ordinances must be opened
by tho council nt tho first regular tnoetlns
In January of each year, and this Is where
tho trouble starts. Formerly tho council
designated an official paper! and tho paper
to receive the official patronago of the
city depended greatly upon the political
complexion ot the council. By n change
in tho charter this rule wilt not be opera
tive this year, as hhls will be received.
There Is going to be a lively fight bolwecn
tho Times nnd tho Nebraska Democrat, as
both of theso publications aro anxious to
secure the contract.
Tho stato law Insists that in order to
sccuro a standing and be able to enter Into
contracts of thla kind a paper must have
been published for fifty-two consecutive
weeks. As the Democrat has not been pub
lished that length ot tlmo It Is hard to
sec where It will cotno In.
Editor Tanner of tho Democrat Insists
that this section ot tho law m repealed
by the last legislature, but the .session
laws do not so state. It Is true an attempt
was made to havo this flection repealed,
but the legislature (ailed to take action.
Whllo tho council Is mado up of flvo re
publicans and one democrat, It Is under
stood that them Is n division of feeling
and that the public printing may, hy order
of the council, go to either one or tho
other of tho papers mentioned. In any
event, thero Is going to bo a hard fight
mado by the two contestants for the city
patronage.
Venr Hook Out.
Early yesterday morning tho eighteenth
annual llvo stock report ot tho Union Stock
Yards company was ready for distribution.
The larger portion of tho figures printed
In the report appeared In Tho Boo of yes
terday, but tho table of largest receipts
was omitted for tho reason that tho figures
were not compiled until a'lato hour Tues
day night. The tabulated statement shows
that tho largest receipts of stock In one
day during the year 1001 was on November
11, when 22.8B2 head ot sheep wore given
quarters In thn big shoep barn.
In cattle receipts for a week, the record
shows that tho week ending October 31
was tho best of tho yoar, as 39,39!) head
wero delivered to tho stock yards company
by the railroads,
Tho largest number of ears received for
one week wbb tho weok ending October 31,
as 2, Gil cars wore reported In.
Sheep hold tho record for tho largest
receipts In any one month, that month
being October, 1901, when 218,324 head were
received and handled. In the receipt of
hogs and sheep, n largo Increasn over -all
previous years Is shown, tho cattlo re
ceipts showing a slight decrease, this being
due to the shortngo of cattle In the terri
tory tributary to this market.
Up to Kelly.
Mayor Kelly announced to the press
Tuesday that ho would refer tho library
ordinance to tho city attornoy for an
opinion In regard to Its legality; Inasmuch
as It had been nmejidcd In the .committee
and then passed. Up to noon yosterday
tho city attorney had not been aikcd for
an opinion by the mayor and consequently
he declined to discuss tho matter.
One member of tho judiciary committee
remarked yesterday that the delay In Mayor
Kelly signing the ordinance only tended
to show that thero must bo somo truth In
tho rumors that he proposed to appoint
flvo wdmen no dlrectqrs, thus giving them
a majority.
"If the mayor does thlB," sold Council
man Martin, "thero Is not a business or
professional man who will servo on tho
board. In' my opinion such appointments
would not bo confirmed by tho council, ovon
It mado by tho mayor. From a personal
standpoint I would ltko to see tho ordi
nance creating a library board reforrcd back
to tho committee Then sn amondment
would be mado directing the appointment of
nlno men as directors. Another feature
should be Included nnd that Is tho city
treasurer should bo mado custodian of tho
funds of the board and warrants be drawn
tho same as In other departments of the
city government."
It tho wrangle Is evor settled the board
to be appointed will havo control of tho
purchase ot a site and the expenditure ot
$5,000 a year for maintenance. On the
streets It 1b reported that Mayor Kelly has
made certain promises in regard to po
sitions which he cannot now see his way
clear to fulfill and this is causing him to
healtato about signing the present ordi
nance. Cnah 011 llnnd.
All ot tho corporations doing business In
tho city paid in the 1901 taxes yesterday.
While some took advantage of the law and
paid In only one-halt ot the tax, the city
treasurer still hfts a large sum of money
on hand. On Tuesday over $20,000 was paid
In and the dny before $11,000 was sent to
the office In checks, Until bis books aro
balanced tho treasurer docs not know Just
how much monoy he has on hand. It will
tako at least ten days to close tho books
for the year ending Tuesday, and then a
call for warrants will bo made, In thla
call the overlap warrants probably will be
Included.
Will Not Arrent.
Attorney A. L. Sutton haB served notice
that ho will not accept tho proposed set
tlement ot the Minnie Oliver claim and
will Insist that the council take action to
proceed at onco to pay the entire claim.
This case has been In dlsputo for a long
time. Members of tho council seom to
think that the threatened mandamus pro
ceedings may by 'diplomacy bo staved pft
until tho noxt levy Is made this year, when
the claim can bo taken caro ot. At pres
ent no funds are available for the full pay

How Charity Grafters
"Wo havo been hearing a good deal lately
about the so-called 'Under World' and tho
'World of Graft, ' " said a Wall street man
to a New York Times reporter, "but there
Is one particular kind of 'grafting' and a
certain coterie of 'grafters' that I havo
never seen described In print. Only tho
vory wealthy men and tho roost prominent
business houses ot tho city aro familiar
with this class and their methods. Tho
general public never hears of them, or only
at rare IntervnlB, at any rate.
"I refer to the group of men and their
number Is larger than one might supposo
who make their living year In and year out
by soliciting subscriptions for various ob
jects, usually of a charltablo nature, and
who receive their pay In tho shape cf n
commission on tho amount subscribed
through tholr efforts. Theso men must not
be confounded, on tho ono hand, with the
largo body of canvassers who are sent out
b) concerns of one Jtlntl or another to
sccuro legitimate business, or, on the other,
Vlth tho out-nnd-out swindlers who arc now
and then arraigned In the police courts for
obtaining money on false pretenses. The
kind of 'grnfters' I have In mind are always
midway between tho 'two extremes Just
mentioned, nnd, although they may some
times approach dangerously near to tho
latter, they do not often make themselves
criminally liable. r,
"It Is only In an cntjrniously wenlthy city
like Now York that j,s,uch, an occupation
could be followed with, success and the de
velopment ot this form, of canvassing into a
'butlncsB' Is probably due to tho great num
ber ot more or less philanthropic Institu
tions dependent upon charity for their sup
port, whlch.the metropolis shelters.
"The solicitation of funds by letter Is no
longer an effective method of reaching busi
ness men. Almost evdry well known man of
largo means receives dozens ot such letters
In tho course of a week. Even If he were
disposed to give hla flnitnclal aid to all
theso applicants ho would lack tho tlmo to
Investigate their worthiness nnd their ro-
spcctlve merits. So tho custom has grown
up, even among certain of the bettor known
chnrltles, of employing agents of good ap
pearance and persuasive tongue to person
ally approach the men of plethoric purse
and sccuro their signatures to subscription
lists opposite ns many figures as possible.
'In cases where the object for which
money 1b asked 1b particularly deserving,
nnd the appeal Is likely to meet with a
ready response, tho commission paid tho
canvasser Is, of course, small, Bometlmes as
low as 2 or 3 per cent, but usually not less
than 5. Salaries aro rarely paid these met),
for tho reason that tho Uncertainty of their
reward when on a commission basis fur
nUhes a necessary stimulus' to persistent
effort. Tho nmount of the commission be
comes larger In proportion to tho difficulty
ot unloosening tho purse strings In behalf
of tho particular object In nocd.

tho canvassers often become such an Im
portant factor In tho garao that they re
ceive anywhere from 2o to 40, or even 60
per cent of tho subscriptions. ,
"A good 'front Is one of tho first requi
sites of thcBo' 'grafters.' So many of them
wear high hats and long coats that this
may almost bo considered their uniform.
Such atllre, together with an air of ex
treme dignity nnd Importance, Is relied
upon to get them past thp various barriers
In the shape of ofllco boyB, confidential
clerks anil private secretaries, With which
so many wealthy men havo found It neces
sary to surround themselves. Thoy always
Insist on seeing the head of tho Arm 'on
personal business,' and If this does not
succeed ns an 'Open Sesame,' tho unim
pressionable employe who bars the way Is
given a crushing glance nnd Informed:
" 'I come from M. ,' or 'General' ,'
mentioning a well known name.
"Tho exact connection ot the man whose
name Is used with the matter In hand Is
not always made very apparent, but It
usually- serves to gain the canvasser n
hearing. Then comes tho 'fine work.' Most
New York business men crowd a great
deal of labor Into a few hours, and conse
quently an Interruption ot this kind Is
quite apt to find the moneyed 'man, whoso
mind Is occupied with Important matters,
Impatient lo got tho tntorvtew over with.

There Is a strong Impulse to sign his
name, put down the lowest figure that
catches his eye on thn list and be rid of
his callor. In a considerable percentage
of cases this Is exactly what happens, the
busy man pledging himself to give, without
taking tho trouble to find out nnythlng

"It often happens that a canvasser of
agrecablo presence and good judgment will
win tho confidence of a number cf wealthy
men to such nn extent that he will get
what he wants whenever he calls, If he
does not mako his visits too frequent and
has a plauslblo story ench tlmo. In this
way ho establishes a 'aonnectlon' similar
to that of a salesman, and becomes In
consequence n more valuable man In his
'business. '
"The best proof that business men often
allow themselves to be beguiled Into giving
money to Bchemes of doubtful standing Is
tho fact that will not bear Investigation that
they aru on unprofitable nnd perhnps dan

has caused great indignation among tho
'grafters,' and It is understood that 'busi

little circle.
"A committee which undertook the rais
ing ot n fund for a public object not long
ago decided to employ n tow solicitors on
a small commission. Ono or two men were
started out at first, and tho matter was
not advertised nt all, but within forty
eight hours applicants for the same kind
of work began to appear at the rate of
eight or ten a day. In all probability thirty
or forty presented themselves who had had
previous experience nnd who showed every
ovldonco of being clever men In their own
peculiar vocation.
'1 hnvo mot a good many ot these fel--lows,"
continued tho Wall street man, "and
must admit that personally many of them
aro entertaining chaps and appear to bo
good fellows. They come from nil sorts of
professions and walks In life nnd have, most
of them, had varied experiences. Usually
they drift into this canvassing business
aftor having made a failure of somo more
conventional occupation. Once In It they
find It hard to break away. The uncertainty
of the reward and the big checks which
they always see Just ahead fascinate thorn
ltko a gambling game. Many of them have
real ability, If they would apply tbsmaclves
In other lines. Their general attitude, seems
to be of tho 'world-owes'-me-a.-llvlng' order
and they endeavor to collect It trom the
wealthy class without the slightest 'com
punction. Ono of thom once said to me: 1
" 'We fellows are parasites. We produce
nothing and simply live on the charity of
tho rich. I wouldn't know how to go at a
mnn If I were going to offer him anything
In return for his money, but I like tho
sensation of matching myself agilntt tho
big sharks of the business world and making
them give up somo of their winnings.'
"This man probably represented tho tool
ings ot most of his class. Thoy hare their
upsjind downs, living on the tat ot tho land
when thoy have a 'good thing' In hand ant
comotlmes lacking the price of tho next
meal when times are hard, but from any
standpoint these 'grafters' represent a curl
oub development of modern Now York life."
