JM nected with the present building by a eub
way under the street, which has Just been
L constructed. 'JTh! plans are now drawn to
I ' cover a structure extending from the Young
Men's Christian - nmoelatron building to
Boventeojitb street and from Douglas street
to the afiey seven stories In height. The
Young Men's 'Christian association building
will remain, but the west wall will be re
moved am) 'the floors adjusted with the new
building- so' as' to form" one Continuous
structure of a depth of 2G4 feet on Douglas
street and a frontage of 132 feet on Six
teenth street and on Seventeenth street.
' Oa Independent Lines.
"The seven-story building will be erected
on Independent lines as a modern up-to-date
retain store building, containing such
modem conveniences as have been adopted
by the .larger stores In the east.
"By .reason, of the existing grades the en
trance, an . Seventeenth .street will lead di
rectly firom. the street to the second floor.
The, Douglas street entrance will be located
centfilly between Sixteenth and Seven
teenth street and mldhelght between the
first and second floors, and the grand stair
case wljl lead tb the first and to the second
floors. ' , . '
'"fie bank, which! la to form a conspicu
ous Yeaure of the new store' building, will
be located between the Seventeenth street
entrance 'and' the Douglas street entrance,
and by Its location' on' the second floor will
be easily accessible from, all portions of
"The DourIdS- street entrance will be
built With a -View of its Joint use as a

"It; la proposed that the six passenger
elevctqirar .be located . at the head of the
subyay, .,tn close proximity to the grand
staiecaa and . Iir Hn with the Sixteenth
and Seventeenth street entrances. By this
arrangement, which probably will be ac
cented, the, bank and the business offices,
whlc.wp) b. located In closa proximity to
the bank, can-be most readily reached from
all portiops.of the different buildings, stores

"It. Is 'at present proposed to ereot the
new bytMlng with a skeleton construction

The cost of the building will be $500,000."
While neither the owi.ers nor the archi

about the future of the old Young Men's
Christian, association building. It. under
stood the plans contemplate the removal of
that' building eventually and the erection
of an eight or .ten-story, building In its
place, finishing the Sixteenth street front
age atrd'harmonlilng th architecture of the
entire half block which has been acquired
by the Brandels Institution, although this

FROM OUR LETTER BOX
Mr. Howell Explains.
OMAHA, Oct 4. I904.-To th Editor of
The Bee: Some time fines you charged me
with being a "stool pigeon" of the Omaha
Water company, a corporation that came
Into possession of the Omaha water plant
through foreclosure proceedings In . 1898.
You further charged that my father, since
deceased, was an attorney In New York
connected with W. A. Underwood,, a former
president of the water company, and ih.it
at -his . (my father's) Instigation I Intro
duced In the last legislature. In the Inter
ests of the Omaha Water company, the
measure now known as the Howell-Gllbert
water bill.
To refute and shortly dispose of your In
famous libels L stated that I had never
been connected with .tjiat company; In any
way. Because of this statement ' you now
charge that I am guilty of falrehood, and
In; support of such charge ypil reproduced
In last evening's Bee a voucher signed
by myself March 4, 1838, nearly seventeen
years ago. .
The voucher shows upon Its face that It
Is a voucher of the American Water
Works company, a corporation organized
In 185 under the laws of the state of Illi
nois, and not a Voucher of -the 'Omaha
Water company, a corporation organised
In 1896 under the laws of the state of
Maine. It could not have been otherwise,
as this voucher was signed eight years be
fore the Omaha Water company came into
existence., . , J. .;
It is a matter of common knowledge, at
least among my friends, that t originally
came to' Omaha as an, engineer for the
American Water Works company and was
employed by that company during the first
years of my residence In Omaha, -
You know all this, but notwithstanding
you deliberately and with malice afore
thought charge me with falsehood and
publish this voucher as evidence of my
guilt, bellevlrjg that you could thus de
ceive the people of Omaha that they
would not discriminate between the Omaha
Water company and the American Water
Works company because each corporation
had at different times owned the Omaha
water plant.
I again stats positively and unequivocally
that I have never been connected with the
Omaha Water company In any way, and
furthermore that whenever you attempt to
create an Impression to the contrary In the
mlndi of the people of Omaha,. you ire
guilty of the basest fraud and deception.

WHAT SANBORN IS FIGHTING FOR
Member of First Aadltorlim ' Board
Bays ganborn Is Contending for
the night Principle.
.In talking of the dissension In the Audi
torium board, CV, ?.. Rose water said yes
terday: "As a member - of . .' the original
Auditorium board I wish to state .that the
reference to Mr, .Sanborn as a deposed
president of the Auditorium company Is
not treating Mr. Sanborn fairly, , nor is it
strictly In accordance with, the facts.
"In the first place, I am sure there would
be no Auditorium in Omaha today! had It
hot been for the hard work of F.. p. San
born. He gave up his time from his own
business month after month, and J know
there were weeks when he didn't spend an
average of two hours a day at his office.
Mr. Sanborn did not stand for re-election
because he felt he could no longer sacrifice
Ma business Interests. He could have had
the presidency again If he wanted it.
'This fight of Sanborn's Is bound to win
out because he is light The Auditorium
was built with the Idea df making It a place
where all the people of Omaha could go and
be entertained and Instructed at prices
everybody could afford. That la the only
way the Auditorium will be a success and
the principle for which Mr. Sanborn Is Con
tending ought to have the backing' of th
town In the fight that Is being made." '

LOREE GETS ALL THE CASH
Deposed President of Bock Island Nearly
Million Ahead.
HOLDS ROAD TO ORIGINAL CONTRACT
Though Forced to Resign, He Is Paid
Fall Right Hnndred and ser-eaty-Flve
Thousand
Dollars.
Great Interest Is created in railroad circles
by the announcement sent out from Chi
cago that L. F. Loree. the president and
director of the Rock Island railroad system.
has resigned. The fact that he Is to be
succeeded by Robert Mather, the first Vice
president and general counsel of the road.
Is taken as a matter of course and occa
sions 'no surprise. The surprise rests In
what Is regarded as the retirement of
Loree, Mr. Loree was one of the party of
Rock Island officials who passed through
Omaha about two weeks ago on the way to
Denver. At that time the Rock Island sky
appeared to be clear.
Mr. Loree received 1875,000 for the nine
months he, was at the head of the system.
When the controlling Interest In the Rock
Island started after Mr. Loree he was at
the head of the Baltimore & Ohio road, a
man of great and varied experience. With
the recently acquired 'Frisco system and
the Chicago tc Eastern Illinois attached to
the Rock Island, It was deemed necessary
to seoure the best possible head. As a re
sult this offer was made to Mr. Loree at
175,000 a year for five years whether or not
he served one day or five years; In case of
his death the salary on the same basis to
go to his widow.
Fight with Wlncnell.
Then came a battle between Ben L. Wtn
chell, the president of the Rock Island
road, a separate corporation, and
President Loree of the Rock Island
system. James Hobart Moore and William
H. Moore, the Interests that reorganlted
the Rock Island, are said to have told
Mr. Lores that he had failed entirely In
organising the various Rock Island prop
erties Into one great homogeneous system
capable of great tonnage possibilities and
that his methods were not In accord with
their views. His resignation was demanded
and the sum of 1375,000 paid In full of salary
as provided by contract. Nor was this said
to be all. When Mr. Loree left the Balti
more &. Ohio he was given a bonus of
$500,000, making his total salary for the
nine months $875,000. His resignation car
ried with it that of the president of the
Rock Island system, chairman of the ex
ecutive board of the Chicago, .Rock Island
Be Pacific, .two directorships and chairman
of the executive board of the Frisco sys
tem. Mr. Mather, who succeeds Mr. Loree, Is
an original Rock Island man. He entered
the service In 1889 as an attorney for the
company at Chicago. In 1894 he was general
attorney of the road In 1899 he - was the
seoond vice president of the Rock Island.
B. F. Yoakum, chairman, hag been elected
chairman of the executive board of the St.
Louis & San Francisco end of the system.
Mr. Mather will fill this office for the Chi
cago, Rock Island. & Pacific.
PLAN TO SETTLE DISPUTE
Proposition of Andltorinm Directory
Is to Last Decision oa Proxies -'
to Committee.
The contest in the Auditorium directory
for control took another turn, yesterday,
when it was practically agreed by the
contending factions to leave the decision
regarding the way questionable proxies
should count to -the -tellers of the Monday
election, T. F, Byrne. A. C. Smith and
George W, . Hoobler. '. Mr. ' Hoobler, who
represents the stockholders who desire the
election of - ten members of tr. board, to
overthrow Nash's majority, requested that
two other pnen be added to the tellers'
committee, but this President Nash de
clined to do, holding that such a course
would seem to Impugn the Integrity of the
original members. It Is given out that the
tellers will meet Saturday, If possible, and
recanvass the vote. Men on both sides of
the fight have agreed to abide by the deci
sion. Both, however, claim to have con
trary legal advice regarding the Union
Stock Yards company's vote.
President Nash has announced that even
counting the stock yards vote against the
re-election of the old board, only five new
members would be elected. This would
not be enough to change the majority
which supports the policy of President
Nash.

JUDGMENT AGAINST CITY
Decree Entered for Ninety-Pour Thousand
Dollars Due on Warrants.
NEARLY HALF OF IT IS INTEREST
Paper is Held by Kastern Bankers
and Investors and Litigation
Has Continued Over Period
of F1t Yenrs,
Judgment has been entered against the
city for SM, 296.66. This is the amount due
on warrants Issued during 1893 and 1894
and held this time by eastern bankers
and Investors. Suits were begun to MAS
to keep the tlme limit of five .year from
working against the holders, jlhe, matter
has been continued from time to time,
about a dosen such entries being recorded,
because the city has not been in a condi
tion to pay them.
Last fall William. Balrd, for Wharton,
Balrd & Song, notified City Attorney
Wright he would ask for a hearing and
bring' the city to terms, as his clients
were growing tired of the long drawn out
standing of the warrants. City Attorney
Wright asked the plaintiffs to hold off
until this year, as the city was short of
funds. It was agreed that Judgment could
be obtained this fall without opposition, if
Interest were waived on a few of the war
rants, the legality of which was ques
tioned, and in the other cases Interest were
not required after Judgment on the amount
of interest found to be due. Judges
Redlck, Bartlett and Estelle made the
finding.
Plaintiffs and Amounts..
The plaintiffs and the amounts due each
are as follows: First National bank of

. Nearly Half Is Interest. .
The warrants have been drawing interest
at 7 pet cefit since they were Issued so that
of the total S94.296.56, S4S,06t.S Is In Interest.
The court costs .will, not exceed. In the
opinion of Mr. Balrd, mors than S160 to
sioo. -Complete, reoord was - waived' end
other steps taken to make the city .as
little costs as possible. ...
The warrants were Issued to pay for
sidewalks, sewers, grading; sloping of lots
and In a few cases the Ailing of nuisance
lots. They are for , work . actually dons
and in the case ' of only a very few has
any question-been' raised as to their legal
ity. The city, as districts have paid In,
has, allowed the plaintiffs to take the
money, this amounting to about S10.000.
Some of. the warrants are for sums not
exceeding $60. '
In the wlntei of 1903-3 a' bond fund was
created to pay- for' the floating Indebted
ness of. the city, but last year money had
to be borrowed from It for the use of other
departments. It Is believed the city from
the scavenger law receipt will be able
to clear up these Judgments.
Card of Thanks.

our departed one we extend our heartfelt
thanks. : .. .'' . . . ;'.
