10 TITE OMAITA DAITA" HEE: THURSDAY, AUOUST 20, 1003. SHAREHOLDERS WANT LIGHT Demand Explanation of States of Nebraska Home Builders Company. MEETING CALLED FOR FRIDAY EVENING Former Fresldent, JuAme Raster, ff retary, Hurry fcott, aad Receiver Are Invited to K.xplala Where Money Weal. What has become or the Nebraska Home Builders' company? That lit a question which about 200 share holders of this concern are asking them selves and preparing to submit to former, officials of the company. In order to get at the matter In some tangible form the shareholder have Invited a general meet lng of. the former officials, themselves and the receiver of the company, the meeting to be held Friday night at 8 o'clock In the offloe of Elmer E. Thomas, 811 New York IJfe building. A call for this meeting Is signed by A. D. Fetterman, N. P. Plant, E. I Potter, W. R. Watson and others, all Interested shareholders. During the latter part of 1901 the Ne braska Home Builders' company was or ganiied. Its mission was the building of homes by all who took stock In It. About 800 persons became shareholders. The hares were valued at $1,000 each, on which the registration was S3 a share. This was really the agent's commission. After that a, payment of 11.35 per share per month had to be made until the shares matured, when the payments rose to 16.35 a month on each hare. The ostensible idea was rapid ma turity. rejectors from K a nana City. The ooncern was projected and for awhile promoted by Kansas City parties, who were succeeded In Its management by Ir ving F. Baxter, Judge of the district court, as president, and Harry Nott, then In the county court offloe, as secretary. The shareholders relied upon the advice and Judgment of their president for the relia bility of the project. . The concern established regular offices and for about Ave months all the share holders seemed to keep in tolerably close touch with movements, but after that time, according to a shareholder who signed the call for this meeting, conditions changed. Boon Judge Baxter ana Nott resigned tholr offlclal positions, since which time nothing has been known, definitely, by the shareholders. The offices were finally closed and letters sent to the various ' parties Interested that the company had become involved In litigation and hoped for a favorably decision from the supreme court upon the receipt of which the com pany would resume operation. The shareholders rested upon this advice, vague as they considered It. for a while, but finally the disposition of unrest mani fested itself stronger than ever and It was determined that something must be done. The supreme court decision was never received, so far as the members knew. Receiver is Appointed. . Edaon Rich of the law firm of Rich A Clapp, being a shareholder, at length had a, receiver appointed for the Nebraska Home Building company In the person, it Is un derstood, of his partner. Charles E. Clapp. Mr. Clapp Is therefore invited with Judge Baxter and Mr. Nott to meet the share holders Friday night and explain the status of affairs. ' "They may be all right," said, a share bolder, "if so we want to be assured of it and If not, then we. went to know that and be In a position to resort to whatever recourse is necessary to protect ourselves." These 200 shareholders own about 700 shares en which 87,000 has been paid in and about half returned. Now, what they wish to know is, what has become of the other half? At the time this concern was organised the old building and loan association resisted It and charged that It was a lot tery. They organised to fight the new company in the courts, but so far as any body is aware the onslaughts of these old companies was not the force which crushed their alleged illegitimate competitor. ' EIGHTY-FOUR IN POLICE COURT Greater Portion of Prisoners Are of the Class Asalnat Which, Cam paign Is Directed. Eighty-four persons were arraigned In police court yesterday and the greater part of these were colored men and women, While a large number of these were dis charged thirty the city la still benefited to the extent of $142.60. It is the avowed Intention of Chief Donahue to rid the city of the women who have been guilty of the numerous thefts in the Third ward and also of their male companions, who are usually the recipients of the prooeeds of these crimes. It haa been comparatively easy to deal with the women, but the men have so far escaped and, while frequently treated, have usually been dismissed for Want of. sufficient proof of gambling and other misdemeanors to convict. Chief Donahue said yesterday that these men and women would continually be arrested until they left the city, or until the men were able to shew satisfactory evidence that they were working at some legitimate employment. Of the colored women arrested the fol lowing ware fined $5 and costs: Eva Tylv. Leola Smith, Florence Owens, Joe Rogers, Luella Peterson. Nellie Miles, Emma Jack son, IiOulsa Cohen, Daisy Scott, Daisy Shannon, May Woodford,' Mamie Riley, Lulu Singletree, Mary E. Brown, Myrtle Pope, Frankle Wells, Lillle Fisher and Mary Bell. The men arreeted for oon duotlng rumbling houses, for gambling and as vagrants were all discharged. Al Lysle was given twenty days for the theft of a brass lubricator from a hoisting engine used by John Hart at the telephone building. Floyd Van Winkle drew a sim ilar period for vagrancy; Frank Brooks, $36 and costs on a charge of petit larceny; Jaoob Wald, thirty days for being drunk and disorderly; William Schneider, $4 and costs for assault and battery; John Kraft and John Budney disturbed the peace to the extent of $4 and coats, and J.
