REALTY MEN CO TO CHICAGO
Omaha Will Have Three Delegates in
National Organization.
OBJECT TO FORM CLOSER UNION
Leading Cities of Bast and Writ and
Middle Go Into thr Movement
aad Omaha Wm One of
the First.
One of th first realty boards In the coun
try to endorse the movement for national
real estate organisation, the Omaha Itrsl
Estate exchanre. will send II. F. Iailcy,
W. T. Oraharn and E. A. Benson to Chi
cago Monday evening to mpet with repre
sentatives of other hoards May 12, 13 and
H. for the purpose of forming the nnrnnlra
tlon. Plans for thn convention sre In chard"
of a committee of tho Chicago Ileal Estate
board, consisting of Edward II. Halsey.
chairman: V:rtward B. Judd, Frank O.
Hoyne, Charles I. nichsrd.i. H. W. Win
ston and Edwin F. Oetcholl. Fifty cities
will be represented, amongf thorn Milwau
kee, Bt. Paul, Minneapolis, Boston, Haiti
more, Cleveland, Buffalo, Duluth, Cincin
nati, Kansas City. Pt. Iouls, Pan Fran
cisco, Portland, Taeoma and Seattle.
The plan la for delegates to assemble at
the Young- Men's Christian Association
Auditorium, 13 La Ralle street, and the
meeting: will be called to order promptly
at 10 o'clock, May 12. by President Etfwln
F. Qetchell of the Chicago Real Etnt
board.
The object of the aesoolitflon la to bring
about a closer union between the real es
tate men of the United Stntes. Though
the official real estate paper of Chicago,
the Real Estate News, was given notice
that Omaha would be represented, and
those Interested In organizing the dealers
were given an endorsement from Omaha,
when only Bt. Paul had endorsed the move,
the official paper very tactfully omlta any
mention of tho Omaha delegates In the
mention of the meeting, nnd gives the
names of almost every city In the I'nited
mates except Omaha. Dealers In this city
hope the three delegates sent to Chicago
will Impress on the managers the fact that
the alight hs been put down against the
paper.
Regardless of the fact that a large num
ber of the real estate dealers of Omaha
were opposed to the voting of JI.CKiO.OUQ for
a new court house, It Is safe to say that
no class of men In the city Is now more
pleased that Douglas county la to have a I
new court house than that of the real
estate dealers. Some based their objec
tions on the belief that the building should
be moved from the present site and busi
ness blocks allowed to extend west on Far
nam street, the belief being that the court
house will prevent expansion. Borne of the
dealers suggested that the court house be
built high and located on the site north of
The Beo building and City Hall, that It
might be connected with the city hall when
the municipality Is merged with the county
government. In this connection the sug
gestion has been made that a tunnel may
be built under Farnam street and the build
ings connected, also providing room for a
restaurant, clgnr stand anil soda fountain
under Farnam street. But the court house
will be located on the present site of the
county building and the real estate dealers
will be so proud of It that they will have
It printed on their stationery long before it
Is completed.
Harry Tukey furnishes this official In
formation about tho real estate conditions
In Omaha. Mr. Tukey Is secretary of the
Real Estate exchange and the official cor
respondent of a Chicago paper:
The real eBtate business In Omaha cannot
be said to be dull, but there Is not quite as
much as the dealers had looked forward
to. Tlie sales are averaging better than
last year, and more improvement Is going
on around the town. The largwt demand
la for homes from to $2.ui0. There
haa been a very large demand fur thousand
dollar lots. Takinw it ail together the out
look Is very promising
While most of the real estate dealers
agree with John K McCague, who ad
dressed the mei'ting Wednesday, that the
down town districts should be filled up be
fore the dealers put forth so much effort to
settle the peoplo In the far ends of Douglas
county, many of tho dealers say It Is Im
possible to sell down town property. The
prices are too high. Owners have paid big
sums for the residence property within a
mile or mile and a half of the pnstofflce
and the dealers could make no money sell
ing; thn lots. According to other dealers,
the prices down town are too high and are
held there by dealers. They can only make
money In two ways. One la to make a big
deal now and then and take a good big
commission, or sell a large number of out
lying lots at low prices and get a large
number of small commissions. It la be
lleved Mr. McCague's talk will have the ef
Building Statistics for April
It Is an agreeable surprise to know that
the decrease In building for April In com
parison with the same month a year ago In

taken out for the construction of 15,092

fect of Influencing dealers to push off their
close-in lots. That this may be done has
been demonstrated by Reed Bros., who de
cldil to "settle up" the lots In Durant
Piece, In tho center of the north sale resi
dence dlFtrlet. While the lots were desir
able, the firm offered them Saturday on
essy terms, the same as suburban property,
and sold twenty-two lots at public auction.
Many of the sales bi Irg made In the
more desirable residence districts are made
with building restrictions. In future yenrs
these deeds will make trouble, according
to attorneys, who have many times had
litigation grow out of a deed given with
restrictions. The first owner would fail to
comply with the restrictions, and throush
the property was not taken by the seller, it
passed on through several owners, and
finally It was discovered that the provisions
had not been fulfilled, 'nnd some owner of
the property had trouble on his hands.

Seven Days After His
Karapade,
Just a week after he had robbed his bene
factress who gavo him a job Ed Berger
began a one-year term in the penitentiary.
He was sentenced Saturday morning by
Judge Sears after he had plead guilty. Ha
is only 19 years old. Last week Bcrger

taurant across the street from Union sta
tion, while she was asleep, stole some dia
monds, a watch and some money and fled
to Rock Island, where he was arrested.
He was the first man indicted by the grand
Jury.
The significant features of this table aro
the small decrease as a whole, the greater
activity In a sense, as the number of build
ings Is but 1,351 below that of a year ago,
the falling off In New York and other large
eastern cities, while Chicago Is the. only
metropolitan city In which there is an In
crease. The increase is small only 4 per
cent but it Is there. There were increases
In eleven out of the forty-six cities, In

NEWS OF THE BUSY HOME BUILDERS
MANY DWELLINGS ARE SOLD
Fact Which Suggests Healthy Condi
tion of Real Estate Market.
READYMADE HOMES IN DEMAND
Fresh Air Una: and Home-nnlsed
;ardena Are Two I'opnlnr Fads
In Omaha .Inst nt
Present.
The healthy condition of the real estate
market In Omaha at present and parti
cularly the market for homes ready built
and made to measure and waiting to be
occupied and converted from houses Into
homes, was Indicated strongly during tho
week Just closed by the largo number of
homes sold by the several dealers and the
showing made by the building and loan
associations. Tho deals were not large,
but they were of the most substantial
naturp being of that class from ll.OM to
I7.C00, which Indicates that the great com
mon people, the bone and sinew and back
bone of the great middle class is at work
and Is buying the homes. The element of
speculation, which sometimes makes a
strong showing with a fnlso background,
wan lacking. The deals were notably
made, direct to the people who expect to
live In tho houses, which they have built
or bought. This is tho class of buying
that rejoices the heart of any one. who has
money in Omaha or who is Interested in the
smallest degree In the welfare of the) city
for it Indicates that the city is having
tho healthy growth, the strengt hcnlng ad
dition of solid hons and tough sinew,
which go to the making of a mighty city
and that its activities are not resulting
In that dropsical growth, which looks big
In speculative ventures, but eventually
works to tho detriment of the city.
"For the last two weeks we have hail
a largo number of Inquires for homes
ranging In value from $1,500 to iii.noo," said
a member of one large firm. "The in
quiries show about evenly In all sections
of the city, though there Is a general
preference for the properties far enough
out to bo within walking distance and still
to b out where there Is a bit of green
and plenty of fresh air and place for a
garden In the Rummer time.
"Moreover, there Is a solid and ever grow
ing confidence In the stability of city real
estate In a city with Omaha's present
status and with Its magnificent prospect
for growth in the future years. I am as
confident as I am that the sun Is shin
ing that Omaha homes are at the present
time the very best Investment that a man
can make. In some cases he may not
make a fortune as quickly as In other
ways. It Is not a get-rlch-qulck scheme
and that Is one thing to be said In Its
favor for It is a solid conservative Invest
ment and to the married man It gives him
as a bonus almost a place in which to live,
while at the same time It Increases In
value with the passing years.
"The home builder who buys or builds
a home and then sticks to It through thick
and thin, through fat years and lean years
Is bound to come out ahead fti the end.
I believe that in nine cases out of ten, or
in nlnety-nlno cases out of a hundred he
will be a far richer man at the end of a
few years than if he goes into any other
form of money making and he will have
a comfortable homo all his own at the
same time.
"The fact that Omaha home builders are
learning the advantage to he gained by
the Judicious planting of trees and shrub
bery and the cultivation of velvety lawns
and well kept gardens is proven by an
inquiry of the nurserymen and seed sell
ers of the city. These merchants report
the largest sale of their goods to people
In and near the city tljs spring in the
hlKtory of their business. An educa
tional campaign along these lines has
been conducted and the results have been
good and now the home builders are put
ting into practical use the suggestions of
the men who are experts on the beauties
of landscapes around homes. A pretty
home surrounded by an ugly unkempt
yard Ik an eyesore, and the more money
spent on the house the greater seems the
vulgarity of the taste which could toler
ate the unsightly yard. The yard, indeed,
is said to be tho true barometer of the
aesthetic Ideals of the owners of the
home. And Omaha yards are increasing
vastly In beauty."
"People aro demanding more room for
yards around their homes than they used
to," said a local real estate man and home
builder. -It uted to be that the pros
pective buyer only asked how big the
house was and if It had tho requisite
number of rooms he would fake It us
hesltatlngly provided the Arrangement
suited him. The windows mlglu look
blankly into brick walls of neighboring
houses; he didn't care. Hut today It U
different. You've got to alve th n.e.,,1..
u good, liberal yard around the house or
u wont se:i. People seem to have got
this fresh air bug In their bonnets, and
It's a pretty good bug to have there, too.
And most people have the green-vegetahle-ralsed-'em-ourselvei
bug also in their
bonnets, which U a bug also not to be
disparaged. With these two bugs bus
sing In unison it Is hard for the voice of
a pci.rcal estate man with a No. 10

hearing."

In this series of Inexpensive homes, will
you not look long and far before seeing a
more pleasing exterior than shown In this
Issue?
The roof is carried over tho porch In a
gentle curve and Is broken by a single
dormer, which Is a whole bed room In Itself.
It will be noticed that tho frieze below thn
porch cornico Is carried around tho hous",
dividing It into an upper and lower part.
The upper part Is shingled and tho lower
part Is sided.
The foundation Is of stone, but may be
mado of cement blocks on a poured con
crete foundation below the grade. If the
first story of tills house up to the fries
border Is made of cement blocks It will
make a pleasing exterior and add to its
durability, and salableness. If ten or
twelve-Inch blocks are used, It would be
best to make the over-all dimensions of
the house a foot larger each way rather
than reduce the interior. What a well bal
anced exterior this little house has. The
front steps are In the center of the porch
and lead directly to the entrance In the
center of the house.
On each sldo of the entrance are two
large plato windows with leaded transoms
made to open. These windows are in the
center of the living room and dining room.

JUDGE TAKES NO PROMISE
Ha I her He Sends Gentleman to Lin
coln for a Term of Fonr
Years.
In spite of Jesse C. Simmon's promise on
his "honor as a gentleman" that he would
reform if given a light sentence, Judge
Sears Saturday morning sentenced him to
four years In the penitentiary. Simmons
said he could not remember Just how many
forged checks he had passed, but he
thought It was nine, and he had one on his
person when he was arrested. He was also
charged last fall with highway robbery,
but the prosecuting witness, Herman O.
Moeller, failed to show up, so the case was
nolled. When Judge Sears called attention
to his unsavory record he did not deny It,
but said he would promise on his honor as
a gentleman not to be bad an more.
"What ypu need Is a terrible Jar," said
Judge Sears when he Imposed the sentence.
County Attorney English said he thought
Simmons had passed about fifteen forged
checks.

LINCOLN. Neb.. May 9 (Special Tele
gramsCharles W. Smith, colored, who
came to the penitentiary nearly a year ago
from Omaha for grand larceny, cheated
Justice out of nineteen days today when he
hanged himself In his cell. He would have
been a free man May 2N, but rather than
serve out his sentence he took his life.
Smith had made three vain attempts at
suicide. The fourth attempt was consum
mated by means of his suspenders attached
to his cell door by one end and to his neck
by the other. In that attitude Smith was
hanging when the guard went to his cell
this morning.
