"Shure an' Los Angeles has the tricky real estate dealers, but none of their sheenanygln worked on me. I've been In the business too long In Omaha," said Joseph Alexander Connor with a suspicion of a wink. Mr. Connor Is a native of the "ould sod" and la well known In Omaha. He went to Los Angeles last fall after selling his large farm west of Dundee to engage In the real estate business in southern California. He returned to Omaha Wednesday evening and Is stopping at the Murray hotel until he can buy a home to make his permanent I residence In Omaha. His views on compara tive conditions In Omaha and Los Angeles were expressed, with a dry sense of humor and a rich Celtic brogue. "I never saw such a place for real estate agents. They grow on trees over night like the oranges. "When I first arrived at Los Angeles I had soma business cards rrlnted and dis tributed telling of my desire to buy and aell farm and city property, and every morning before breakfast I could look out of my room and see three or four automo biles filled with real estate men ready -to pounce on me. They are on to all of the old tricks out there and had a few new ones up their sleeves, but I escaped with out being handed any of their lemona. "After numerous experiences too harrow ing to relate I concluded that Nebraska was my nation and Omaha my salvation, so here I am back again to stay."

Ths lodgs of Elks at Butte. Mont., Is in receipt of a letter from Grand Exalted Ruler Melvln, enclosing a copy of a letter from President Roosevelt relative to the reported destruction of elk by men gather ing elk teeth. President Roosevelt says that It has been reported to him that many elk have been slaughtered for no other purpose than to obtain their teeth. He expresses tha hope that the lodgs of Elks will taks measures to discourage the uas of elk teeth as emblems of membership and as ornaments. Grand Exalted Ruler Melvln has taken the matter up with the order throughout the country and Is urging ths discontinu ance of the use of the teeth. Many lodges have already taken action and the Butte lodge has adopted a resolution declaring against a continuance of the use of the teeth. Ths subject Is likely to ootne before the Omaha lodge soon. In a recent number of World's Work, W. H. Wright, a naturalist, phowa that animal elks throughout the west are being ex terminated by man-Elks. Hs says the man-Elks-, are fighting like Crusaders against their four-footed rivals, their war fare copying closely ths methods of the Apaches and the head hunters of Borneo. Antlers are sought by man-Elks with all the religious frensy that marked the scalp hunting of ths red Indian. Even elk teeth are collected, too, being In such demand that the price of a full act has risen to $150, lUilldln Permits. The following building permits have been Issued: ' A.

Banks of Lincoln and A. li epaliUcsr of Uumtwldt are at ths sturray. 1 Friends of Mr. Harrlman, like those of Moyer and Haywood, take much exception to the president's classification of the presi dent of the I'nlon Pacific aa an undesirable cltiien and vigorously resent the imputa tion that Mr. Harrlman Is a menace to so ciety and good order. One of them, Mr. William Whitney, says: "It Is the business of the public press to rercf the news sentiment aa well aa tha news of fact, and I think that It dons right in printing the state of publio eentlment against Mr. Harrlman at the present time. Nevertheless, email as my voles may be, I want to raise It In defense of Mr. Herrl msn, and I want to declare that public sentiment la not a aafe guide In relation to finance or financial men. One Is usually entitled to be tried before a Jury of hia peois. I admit that Mr. Harrlman Is a failure as a politician. I admit also that he Is a failure on the witness stand, that he Is a failure In good manners with many of his associates, and that he la a failure in winning public confidence. "Oakes Ames, who built the Union Pa cific railroad, was a failure before the peo ple and the politicians, but the name of Oakes Ames as the pioneer builder of the t'nlon Pacific and one of the great ma terial developers of the United States, will live and be honored when the work, the name and memory of millions who slan dered him rest In oblivion. "Oakes Ames built a railroad a thousand miles long that knit the Pacific states to ths eestern states commercially and po litically In the period of our great civil war. The competition which the public so highly values lowered the ratea on that thousand miles until It could not earn mors than two-thirds ths Interest on Us debt. llarrlman's Achievements. "E. H. Harrlman took that road, reor ganized from bankruptcy, and welded out of it a system of 10.000 miles, twlos reach ing the Pacific; raised its credit and Its earnings, poured money Into It by the hun dred millions until It Is today earning 20 per cent upon $200,000,000 of common shares capital, or $40,000,000 of stockholders' net earnings where there were before only $S, 000.000 of net earnings with which to pay $12,000,000 in annual chorges-40,000,C00 sur plus In place of $4,000,000 deficit and tne assets In the Union Pacific treasury now would pay the larger part of all lta bonds. Is Mr. Harrlman a success as a railroad man and a financier? "I told Mr. Harrlman many years ago that the public would never pay Interest upon the Improvements he proposed to put Into the Union Pacific railroad and that I should sell my Union Pacific stock. In due time 1 sold It and for one-half what It later sold for. Mr. Harrlman poured his millions, his brains and his great energy Into the Union Pacific, and the Union Pa cific of today Is llarrlman's creation Just as much as the Union Pacific of the pre vious generation wae the creation of Oakes Ames. "Mr. Jacob H. Schiff, who has been Mr. Harrlman's banker, has told me that Mr. Harrlman stood alone against his bankers and his associate directors In his faith In the Union Pacific and his ability to earn money upon the Improvements he proposed to, makev . . ... '- .. . What CTnrlt Bald. "Mr. B. li. II- Clark, who previously managed the Union Paclfta for so many years, told me many times before he died that the Union Pacific, when It was bankrupt, was gone forever. Competition, he said, and the opening of wheat fields In Ruselu and South America, etc, made the resurrection of the Union Paclflo an Im possibility. - "Now Mr. Harrlman won alone against the whole world, as did Oakea Ames. - "1 have not shared In the prosperity of the Union Pacific because I did not be lieve Mr. Harrlman would fuoceed in building up that property, but If Mr. Harrl man Is defeated by the politicians or re tired by public sentiment I will subscribe to build a monument to him bigger and taller than that whloh on the summit ot Union Pacific honors ths name of Ames. "I do not yet approve cr disapprove of what Mr. Harrlman did In the way of sell ing securities to the Union Paclflo treasury. He refuses to give the details of the tran saction. I know, however, that before this Investigation started he explained to Presi dent Roosevelt exactly what he had bought for the Union Pacific treasury and atated to Mr. Roosevelt that he was not through with his purohasea and desired not to be Interrupted In the expanding policy of the Union Pacific. Mr. Harrlman believes la ths expanding policy; Mr. Roosevelt be lieves there should be a limit to capital expansion. No moral quailty whatsoever Is Involved In this Issue. Before the ex pansion Is permitted to go much further there may well be more publicity In re spect to railroad treasuries and political contributions, and the Interference of fi nance with elections and political parties should bs legally stopped; but Mr. Harrl- msn Is not ths maker of ths laws. He contributes to politics as Invited and ac cording to his means, but there Is danger In enlarged means making enlarged politi cal contributions, and It Is on this point that publio sentiment should concentrate. About the Alton Deal. "Aa to the recapitalisation of the Chi cago a Alton, that waa for the public good and for no special private benefit Harrlman bought the Alton road for $40, 000,000. I declined to aell him my Alton shores, I declined to take ths wstered capi tal ha offered. He had to water the capi tal p get the money to Improve the prop erty, for to moke his KQ.OOO.OOQ Investment good hs hsd to put In more than $20,000,000 more. Everybody who knows anything about the stock markat knows that Mr. Harrlman could not buy Chicago Alton shame at too, pay In $100 for their Improve ment and sell ths shares st a profit over tx per share. Hs had to re-dlvlde the capitalisation, sell bonds st a low rats of Interest to people who wanted good se curity, preferred stock to people who would take a medium security snd sell the water or hone of ths future for whet anybody would pay for a non-dividend common stock In ths share market "I happened to know hs sold his stock around $40 per share and that ths Rock Island people bought It It Is now selling for less than $30 per share, but that Is the loss of ths Rock Island people. "Mr. Harrlman and his associates mads aa Investment of $40,000,000 or more and made perhaps 10 per cent or $6,000,000 or $.0CO,000 profit At today's prices Chicago a Alton la selling for about $5,000,000 less thsn It cost Mr. Harrlman and hla asso ciates, and the bulk of that ahrtnkage, the $0,000,000 profit converted In a $5,000,000 loss, has been taken by the Rock Island people, and they have recouped themselves per sonally for this In a stock market raid which has netted them many millions per sonally, has cost Mr. Harrlman many mil lions and tha publio many hundred mil lions. "And yet the publio applauds ths Rock , Island paxtr. thousTh tt doss not know It SEVERE BLOW AT COAL TRUST Formal for Ilarntsx Ashes Excite Scientists and Cats Down Koel Expenses. A has the coal trust All In, down and out that's where that organization Is If the hopes of certain Omaha citlsens are realized. They are depending upon a for mula discovered by John Kllinore, the Al toona cobbler, for making ashes burn. The formula directs the mixture of one part coal with three parts ashes, and the mois tening of this with a solution made of a gallon of water, a pound of salt and two ounces of oxalic acid. "The erase has taken hold of the people In this neighborhood." said a North Twenty-fourth street druggist. "I am sold out of oxalic, acid. One man I know was in here and aald he had tried the scheme. He said the mixture 'burned like hades.' This Is a mistake, however, for I under stand the flame of that region Is blue, while the flame of eoal ashes compound is said to be a bright yellow. Two other cus tomers who bought oxalic acid yesterday for the experiment said they couldn't make it burn and had to dump the whole com pound on the ash pile." Men of scientific mind scoff at the Idea. Tou can no more extract heat from burned out ashes than blood from a turnip, they say. It Is contrary to one of the laws of energy. It Is as hopeless to hope to burn ashes as to establish perpetual motion or to make gold out of the baser- metals. Erastus Jackson, owner, proprietor and manager of the "Montezuma ash wagon." shook his head solemnly when told of the discovery. "Ah sure don't know what Ah'm going to do If they discovers sech a thing." he said. "People won't want no ashes hauled. Ah been a good many years building up mah business and Ah sure would dislike to see mah business excluvlated In this manner." There Is no Immediate prospect of cither the coal trust or Mr. Jackson being crip pled financially by the discovery. Regardless of the scoffing of scientists, there are men In Omaha who have burned ashes and got heat from It, and that with out waiting for this Imported formula or using the Ingredients named. In the spring or fall, when the weather Is not severe enough to require a strong fire, they have i put their ashes, wet or dry. on their fire and saved coal and enjoyed comfort.

MISCONCEPTION OF LAW IS GENERAL Many Tentperary Certificates Are Ac cepted as Ktldrsr of Good Faith, Awaiting Solatloa of the Matate. The office of Register of Deeds Randle was the busiest place In the court house Thursday morning because of the efforts of representatives of foreign corporations to comply with the new law requiring them to file a certificate appointing a resident agent to receive service of process. In stiltf of the efforts made only ten of the corporations subject to the law hod filed their certificates up to noon Thursday. Mr. Randlo was kept busy answering questions relating to the requirements of the law. Many of the certificates filed do not con form to the provision whloh requires they be signed by the president and secretary of the corporation. In many cases it has been Impossible to secure these owing to the fact the heailqtiarteis of the corpora tions is located at a distance. Mr. Handle Is nei-eptlng temporary certificates, though they are not properly signed, as an evi dence of good faith on the part of the local representatives of the corporations. The time limit placed by the law expires Thursday and after that all corporations who do business without having the certifi cates on file will be subjected to a fine of $1.0(0 and their representatives to a Jail sentence. It is understood considerable latitude will be observed In the exercise of the punitive power, since the misconception of the lew's provisions seems so general, though there Is no known Intention of relieving any from the operations of the new statute. Should the penalty be applied in all cases of non compliance tho Jail selected for the Im prisonment of the derelict corporations would bn Jammed and the fines pile high, as one attorney Is known who says he Is agent for fifty companies subject to the requirements of this law. PURSUED BY HIS SHADOW Georala Avenue Man Gets Good Scare at What He "apposes Is Footpad. "t got about as lively a scare a night or two ago." said a Georgia avenue resident, "as I have ever had, and for the time I was as enthusiastic an advocate for In creased police protection as any man In Omaha. I was going home rather late and Just as I crossed Dewey avenue a man stepped out from a dark corner and be gan following me. I was going south and could see him over my left shoulder. Re Ing unarmed, a little timid naturally and not being so far from home, I started to walk rapidly. I didn't hear hla footsteps and thought he must be a gum shoer. However, I' could see him occasionally over my shoulder and I kept Increasing my pace until I reached my own front door, and had Just mada up my mind to kill him, when I discovered that I had been trying to run away from my own shadow cast by the moon. Tou see the electric light had thrown my shadow In front of me, but I had forgotten all about the moon. It was Just at the right height and In exactly the proper angle to cast my dark shadow, much darker than that thrown by the electric lights, so as to stand In just the position that one would think someone was fol lowing him closely behind."
