PRICES ASKED ARE NONE f00 HIGH , Ucniti fro at Business Tropertr a Answer to Assertion and Renest tow Location an Judica tion of Demand. Real cstat men taka exception to the tatotnenU In a letter to The Bee sifned by "VS. 3. W" in which it la asserted renta In the retail district are exorbitant and tend to restrict the growth of trade. "Rents In Denver for retail properties are 26 per cent higher than they are in Omaha," said W. Farnam Smith, who han dles a large amount of business property; "they used to be 50 per cent nlgher. Offices In Denver right now are a half higher than they are In Omaha. It Is a wrong state ment to say our renta are excessive. The best retull district In Omaha is small and there Is a strong competition for these locations. This tends to make the renta for some properties higher than they would otherwise be, but the good retail section In Denver Is larger than ours, yet the rents are higher. Omaha business properties are not paying more than a Just Income." Statements Are Baseless. N"I don't know who writes such a letter or what his object la, but his statements are baseless and must come from misin formation," said an owner of large prop erty Intercsta here. "Taking all our prop erties, the best of them npw pay only per cent and lota of them ilo not puy 4 per cent. 1'erhaps we were able to build as reasonable in Omaha aa In other cities, so that you see Omaha business property la not bringing an exorbitant rental. These percentiles alito ure what we are getting In these prosperous times and are much higher than that we were' getting In the liurd years. When you cama to count In tho deterioration of the buildings, which may amount to aa much aa 10 per cent a year, the owners of good bulnes property are not asking more rent than they should for their buildings. 'There Is no foundation, for the statements that merchants are not making money here; I don't know a place In tho country where they are doing better for the capital they have invested. I have talked to a great many merchants and in the last two or three years, particularly the laHt, they have done remarkably well. I should say you can't And a man of ability who has stuck to his business and paid attention to it who has not succeeded. As large a per cent of business men have succeeded here as In other cities." Demand for Business Property. F. D. Wead1 says: "That letter which was printed in The Bee Is a very good advertisement for Omaha business. It says that The moment a store room Is vacant fifty people, 90 per cent representing outside firms, are on the ground.' If that Is true, and I know It is to a certain ex tent, it means that Omaha business men must be making a good living notwith standing the rent they pay, and that Omaha Is a good place to do business. The outsiders know thut and are eager to get into good locations here. You could not expect the property owners to reduce their rents when the stores are taken so eagerly. I know a chsb where a man was offered $3,t00 for his lease of a Fa main street store room and of another who gave a bonus of $2,600 for a two-year lease. The owners do not do that, it is the business 411 en themselves who want certain loca tions. Ia one Sixteenth street building there hus not been made a single lease running more than a year ou which the lessor did not lose money, lie could al ways lease it after a year at a higher figure. Omaha rentals I do not believe are higher thun in other cities. In the Jobbing section I know they are very low." Rents and Vacant Lots. Graham & I' re say: "If Omaha retail property brings In such handsome Incomes as V. J. W. says, why is It that so few buildings have been putup in the retail section during the la at ten years? We have vacant lots or lots with poor improvements all over the retail section, it the rents were so very high it seems reasonable theses places would be built up. There may be some old buildings on especially well located corners which bring in a high rate of Interest on the money invested, but that Is due to their value as a location. It is safe to say that no modern business and office building In the city rents for more Pi ban per cent. The Hougland building Is being put up on that basis, we are not particularly Interested In business prop erties, but we know that the owuers are uot getting excessive rents. As far as the rents keeping the merchants poor anyone who has lived here a few years has seen the growth of these businesses." WHAT STENOGRAPHER SEES Frank Butcllffe Talks of the Exhibits and tho Numbers They Cot In Trials. Frank J. 8utcll(Ic, the court stenog rapher, after "taking" a session In the Bemls trial, was philosophising on the peculiarities of law suits. Mr. Sutcllffe has had a somewhat wide experience in the taking of testimony, and talks from experience. "Take numbers," for Instance," said Mr. Butcllffe. "On several different occasions I have noticed that the most significant exhibit, where there have been more than a few, have been 'numbered 11 I recall a case where all kinds of exhibits were put in during a murder case In Sarpy county. Among others was - the head of the man who had been killed. Just In the condition it was after the surgeons had got through with at the autopsy, except that it was dried out That was exhibit 12. The next exhibit was not so gruesome, but It as the one that did the work. It was a whisky bottle out of which the men had been drinking when the fatal quarrel arose. It became exhibit 13. "In this trial of the suit of Mr. Bemls against the city there have been numerous exhibits received by the court and shown to the Jury. In soms Instances these have been introduced by the defense and In others by the plaintiff. Up to exhibit 12 they were of the ordinary character that go into such cases, but exhibit IS Is a drawing of the frsme work of the bill board which is alleged to have fallen over and hurt Mr. Bemls. "These are but two sample Instances out of mar.y I have seen and heard of, but. If you observe closely In murder cases and cases of severe accidents and things of that kind, you will find that nearly alwtys the figures 13 wjll be affixed to the exhibit which is 'it,' to use a slang phrase. Fish Season Opened. From now on those who like to fish may have it all their own way in Nebraska, us the open season for ail kinds of finny tribe, except trout, opened yesterday. Everything except trout may be caught without fracturing the law, and trout will be l-Kal plunder in June. The rights snd privileges connected with the opeu season are sh1 tutUl November 1. TO BURN TOOLS OF TIGER Superintendent McCaffrey of ths Court House as Fireman. ' RELICS-OF - GAY GAMBOLIERS THE FUEL Only an . Order of Court Seeded to Complete tho Destruction of Confiscated Plunder from. South Omaha. jj Superintendent Joe McCaffrey of the county court housa is planning bonfire that will destroy a good many articles that have been sources of pleasure and of loss to numerous hot sports of South Omaha. All he Is waiting for Is a court ordr that will authorize him to cut loose with hUj trusty tomahawk and & torch. Stored away In odd corners of the court house basement for the last year there has been a big pile of round and oblong tables covered with green baize. They have also accumulated some dust, but not of the substantial kind that was erst while used to be plied on them. This new kind sticks, though; the other species was wont to take wings and blow away. These tables, say a man who haa seen their like when men were busy around their edges, have been used In times past for games with cards. There were also present as parts of the outfit chips and marbles and a whirling wheel or two, and one looks as If It might st one time have had on It numbers and the little tin box from which a methndiral man pushed out with his left hand the pictures and the spots which Indicated whether the men sitting In front of him were like Oyama or mere used-to-bes, like Kourn patkln. So many have sat down with much money and arose with much sighing that In history the man with the box und the stony face Is safely niched as the victor. Faro, roulette, the festive stud and the solemn draw have attracted all manner of men In times past to these useless looking and care-worn old tables. On their surface has been placed and played the hard won slmoleon.of the laborer and the green ana goldbacke of the opulent per. I son who thought he was playing ths bank when he was Just being played. Dragged from Their Lair. Then one night the peelers dropped in for an unexpected call and the tables were hauled away from the lights and the noise, the Joy and tho Jlnglo, away from the elated man and the one whoee system was 'Just getting? good." They vanished from the sight of the human spider and the silly fly, and were thrown Into the darkness and the safety of a subcellar over which Jus tice was perched, with the bandage off. Now, after lingering long In that condition which democracy's one-time great thun derer has made famous as innocuous desue tude, they are again dragged into the light for a killing. As a climax of the revenge that states take on even the silent transgressors of their laws, all these gambling appurte nances will be burned up even as was the money of those who lolled and labored about their edges In the days gone by. But even In the matter of destroying the de stroyers the law proceeds with dignity and In due order. Hence before Superintendent McCaffrey can get this dead elephant, or tiger, off his hands he must have a duly signed order of court In order to give it lawful burial. . It has been suggested to McCaffrey that he might advertise a public funeral, or cre mation, erect a proper pyre and charge an admission. There are those In great numbers, say the men who talk thus, that would willingly pay a dollar to see the wiping out of that to which they have paid many and many a similar coin. But that, may not be. The things that began In glory will end In smoke.

COPIES OF fHE HEW CHARTER Citj Clerk Elbourn Will Be Sent After Certified TransoripU OFFICIALS ANXIOUS TO LEARN PROVISIONS Belief that It Will Allow Paving to Proceed Is General and BIsT Campaign Is j'1-, Looked For. . jAI At ths direction of members of the coun cil City Clerk Elbourn will go to Lincoln Monday to get a certified copy of tho new charter, provided the governor signs it. He Is Instructed, also, to bring back as many copies of the bill us possible for Individual use of city officers. On Monday afternoon the council plans to get together and with the assistance of City Attorney Breen learn the Ins and out of the new law und arrange to proceed under Its provisions. City Engineer Rosewater has called at tention to the fact that the law segregates the street cleaning und grading repair de partments from tho engineering depart ment and that the council will have to ar range by electing a street commissioner to have charge. Inasmuch as the charter sets forth a particular way In which new offices are to be created, and the ordinance must be published a certain length of time, it will take several weeks to create a ifead for the new department. It hus been sug gested' that Joseph Hummell, who in all probability will be electod street com missioner, e re-eniptoyed as general fore man of streets by resolution, so that tke cleaning and repairs may not be stopped. As an appointee of the Board of I'uhlio Works, which becomes extinct. Hummel and all the men under him would be out of a place as soon as the new law takes effect. As there Is much street work under way snd a great deal mors consid ered necessary it Is important that Hum mel and the men under him be retained without walling for the formal procedure. How It Affects Pailusr. Though City Engineer I'.osew aler still declines to dlxcuss the paving outlook un til he has looked over a certified copy of the charter, other city officers are declar itg that IVJ6 will be a big year for street Improvements In Omaha, City Attorney Breen says: "There Is little doubt but that the council will pass the technical decisions in making specifications up to the city engineer and; that both will be able t6 proceed amicably under the new law. The point has beea. raised by dlappolnted paving contractors that the sixteen or seventeen petitions now on file and completed for paving will have to be withdrawn and new petitions signed and filed in stead. Whether this Is necessary or not I cannot say at this time. I have heard It stated the disgruntled paving contractors would seek by litigation to have paving work tied up and sections of the charter declared unconstitutional, but I suppose this will be governed largely by their suo cess In getting contracts. In any event, I have the greatest confidence that the pav ing sections will withstand all attacks upon them from the point of constitutionality and I do not fear suits of this kind." Temper of the Council. Councilman Kvans says: "This Is going to be n great year for paving. The council Is disposed to let the people do as much of this work as they want to. Since the pas sage of the charter becamo assured peti tions have been circulating In different parts of town calling for paving. The chance to select specifically the kind of brick paving desired Is appreciated and is popular. Any paving contractor who attempts to prevent pavlns by getting out an injunction simply bo cause he didn't get thu Job will sound a note of buttle to both property owners and the council. We are disgusted with this' kind of thing and we don't propose to have any more of It." At tho city hall the two years' warfare over pavliiK specifications is generally re-ganh-il us a thing of tho past. It Is thn imprcHHlnn that the mayor end council will let the engineer decldo all purely technical points und buck up his decisions. Under the law he makes thn specifications and tho mayor and council approve them or direct alterations. Marriage Licenses. The following marriage licenses have Issued : N .nun and Itesldence.
