"County Attorney Klabaugh In hla Invesilga-
hen L. J. Healey,
the Omaha Cold Storage
J company and In charge of the distilled
, water branch of the business, waa aaked to
testify Thursday morning.
j Mr. Heal.y willingly answered general
truat, hla answers being in the negative.
He ahao denounced newspaper atorlea a
without foundation, "like other atorlea
they print." But when Judge 81abaaah
p aaked Mm what It costa to make dlatllled
, Ico, he refuaed to answer. The same re
.itfusal met a question as to what It cost to
prepare ordinary Ice for market.
"Prices ax a high," declared Mr. Healey,
"because of the scarcity of the product.
He denied that all companies sold it at the
same price, and when aaked to name some
of the companies that sold below 60 cents
to the domestic trade he said one of the
drivers told him the Ryan company sold it
for 40 cents.
He waa asked why one company could
sell at a higher price than others, and In
reply said it was because the customers
knew his company could take care of
them. The schedule of prices his com
pany followed Is aa follows: Domestic
trade, 60 rents a hundred; saloons, $7
ton; butcher shops and meat markets, 6;
grocers, $7.
"Is it not true that profit could be made
this year at 36 cents uvnd 40 cents a" hun
dred?" he was asked.
''That Is true of local Ice."
Refaaea to Answer.
Following thla he refused to answer
questions relating to the cost of the manu
factured product. Mr. Healey was very
positive In his statements that there Is no
trust or agreement to keep up prices.
Mr. Healey's name was sent to County
Attorney 81abaugh on a postal card signed,
"An Ice User." The card stated he was
well posted on ice affairs ana could give
some interesting Information about the Ice
truat.

The biennial number of the Federation
Bulletin includes the following statement
from Miss Jane Addams regarding the reso

biennial, asking club women to endorse
the enfranchisement of working womnn,
which occasioned so much comment and for
a time threatened to precipitate the ques
tion of woman suffrage at the St. Paul
meeting:
"As chairman of the advisory Industrial
committee, I venture to Issue a word of
explanation in regard to the circular sent
out by our committee In April. The mem
bers of the committee signed the circular
because we believed that the ballot would
afford the best possible protection to work'

legislation which they so sadly need and
In which America Is so deficient. The cir

and with no reference to the general policy
of the General Federation of Women's
Clubs, nor to the convictions held by Its
officers. No plan was made to bring the
matter up for action nor In any sense to
make It an Issue at the St. Paul meeting."
The Woman's Journal of Boston quotes
Mrs. Florence Kelly, also of the udvlsory
industrial committee, in a private Inter
view as follows: "Jane Addams and the
other members of our advisory Industrial
biennial this year should vote on our reso
lutlon In behalf of equal suffrage for the
sake of working women. We offered it in
order to promote the consideration and
discussion of the question, and we hope
it will serve this purpose in the state fed
erations and local clubs all through the
next two years."

many of the southern states the poll tax

this tax Is disfranchisement until all ar

Y. M. C. A. Plastering Con
tract Is Awarded.
The permit for the five-story brick build
ing at 1114-18 Farnam street, which Is to
be Occupied by M. Spelsberger & Bona
when It Is completed about January 1, has
been issued by the city building depart
ment. The estimated expenditure is 36,
000, meaning Just that amount coming to
Omaha from the east. H. H. and A. B.
Emmons of Boston have owned the lot,
which is Just east of the Omaha Rubber
Shoe company's building, for a long time.
It Is the only piece of property they have
in Omaha and they have decided to place
a structure on It, believing the future has
bright prospects in store for the city.
The deal, which was handled by Harri
son & Morton, Includes a ten-year lease
by the Splesbrger firm on the new build
ing. The latter will be 44 feet wide and
128 feet deep. John McDonald drew the
plans and Qriffen & Chapln Becured the
general contract. As lndicsted by the Is
suance of tha permit work Is to begin at
once.
i Blsjr Plastering Contract.
One of the largest plastering Jobs ever
let In the city has Just been awarded to
the firm of Anderson Bros., which makes
a specialty of this kind of work.
It Is the Job on the Toung Men's Christian
association and is said to be the biggest
since the Bee building and the New Tork
Life building were completed. The con
tract waa awarded by Parsons & Keene,
the general contractors, to Anderson Bros,
for $16,000. It shows the rapid construction
of the association building at Seventeenth
and Harney streets.
The old Edwin Haney house at Elgh
teenth and Farnam streets Is being re
moved to make way for the Real Estate
Exchange building. The task of getting
the unwieldly structure down to the street
is a difficult one. Before the new building
Is started considerable grading must be
done.
The city has Issued permits to O. H.
