COMMITTEE B.EP0ET ON SUBJECT Majority of the Exchange Think 800 Vacant Residences Make I About the Proper Slack '" for City Like Omaha, "When a special committee of the Heal Estate exchange reported at last week's meeting that there were not over S00 vacant houses in Omaha, even tha real state men themselves were surprised. It waa a gratifying report to the ma jority, but there are a few who are In clined 43 think that 8C6 vacant houses are too few for a city as large as Omaha, and fear that It would not be good policy to let the fact be known abroad. A grow ing city needs a certain percentage of "slack" In the way of vucant houses, to provide for new arrivals in the city, and 06 vacant houses Is only about 8V4 per cent of the total cumber of homes in the city. However, moat members of the exchange are Inclined to the oplnlQn that Hot Water Bottle Absolutely one piece of moulded Para Rubber no ce ment, seams, joints or wire nothing to give way under the action of hot water.

BRANDEIS STORES Omaha has about the proper amount of slack. The verbatim report of the committee follows: The committee which you appointed for the purpose of investigating the number of vacant houses In Omaha, after having made a very careful census and study cc conditions, beg to report the following: The committee finds that in Omaha proper, not including East Omaha, Dun dee or the other suburbs, the number of vacant houses will not exceed 8'.. For the purpose of getting a better Idea of how the emDtv houses are situated, the committee has divided the city into' seven districts, naming that part of the city north of Locust street as district No. L The total number of houses In that dls. trict are eighty-one or 10 per cent of all the empty houses In. the city. That district lying between Locust and Cuming streets, from Sixteenth to Thir tieth streets, which Is the most densely settled district in tho city of Omaha, some lots being improved by threo or four houses, has a total of 2C6 empty houses or about 26 per cent of the tolul number of empty houses. f rum iocust to Cumins streets, west or Thirtieth, we call district No. 3. In this district there are eighty-four houses or 11 per cent of the total number. I- rom Cuming to Ieavenworth, from Sixteenth to Thirtieth streets comprises our rooming house district and business and Investment propositions. There are 123 houses or 18 per cent of the total-l number in this district. The district No. 5 Is from Cuming to Leavenworth, west of Thirtieth street, which Is the btn ton district of Omaha. ThlB has elghty-clght houses empty or 11' per cent of the total. District No. 6, south of Leavenworth from Twenty-eighth east to the river, is the district comprising a mixture of all nations. There are lut) houses here or 13 per cent of all. District No. 7 Is from Leavenworth south and from Twenty-eighth strwt west. This is the smallest district and has ninety-seven houses vacant or 12 per cent of all the number. On an average the committee thinks that the empty houses are about evenly distributed throughout the city. In di viding the houses Into sizes we find tho small houses of three and four rooms are 13 per cent; all five-room cottagca are M per cent of the while; six and seven room houses are 38 per cent and eight and nine-mom houses are Zi per cent; ten room houses are 6 per cent. Dividing the houses Into the several prices we find that the houses that rent up to J15 per month are 29 per cent of the whole; from $15 to 135 houses are 10 per cent; from 125 to 135 houses are 21 H per rent and over 135 houses are ' per cent. The committee received only 4S1 an swers as to the kind and condition of the houses and out of the 4M answers 215, or 44 per cent are new and 206, or 56 per cent are old, which would show that in com parison between the new and old houses In the city they are about evenly divided. Out of the 400 houses which we could find, as to the class of buildings, 266 were detached frame houses and 136 were brick flats and 154 frame flats. On the whole the committee finds that we have not too many empty houses In the city of Omaha and that the rentals In Omaha proper are In a wholesome con dition. There tre approximately fifty active real estate agencies which handle a substantial rental business. That would give Omaha an average of sixteen houses per agency. There are approximately 25,000 families in Omaha, which means that there are only 3Vi per cent t the total number of homes vacant. Considering that there Is an average of 2"W removals each month, each pros pective tenant has only (our bouses from which to pick bis home. The sale last week by Herman Nauhaus is Henry Ntuhaus of.

This is between 1118 and S117 an acre. Farms closer to- the city have sold as high as 1 150 an acre, John Bcovern, a banker of Macon, Mo., has sold his Farnam street property to Oeorge T. Morton of the firm of Har rison & Morton of Omaha, not because of any lack of faith in the future of Omaha real estate, but because of his advancing age. Mr. Scovern has owned the property, which is on the north side of Farnam, between . Twenty-first and Twenty-second, with a frontage of eighty eight feet, for twenty-five years. It is now occupied by a flat building, in good condition. The price paid by Mr. Morton was $10,000. Ue figures that tho value of tho . property will be enhanced if Twenty-second street la cut through from Dodge to Farnam street, according to plans now under way. It was the Intention of the Payne & Slater company to . have a sale day on November 11 for the twenty lots fronting on the north Twentieth street boulevard, between Laird and Sahler streets. But the demand for these lots during the last three days hits been so great that In all probability all the lots will be sold before that time. This clearly show that people are watching for bargain In good building lots. This property was put on the market for the first time last week. v J. A. KUHN'S NAME GOES ON GRAIN EXCHANGE TICKET In a caucus of members of the Omaha Drain exchange Saturday 'afternoon, the commission men lost' in their effort to get five names on the ticket for the elec tion of directors next Wednesday!

Home of them rolled over several times on the pavement. One woman with bleeding face was led staggering Into a nearby house. Other poKsencers failed to get her name.

FINE ARTS SOCIETY MAY USE THE OLD COURT HOUSE The Society of Fine Arts Is considering getting possession of the. riiaterluls of the old county court house and building with the aid of Omaha art lovers, an art Institute.

AWAIT RETURN OF RINGER Annexation Csmsilfi Growing Warm and I.are Amount of rolltlcs Enters Into the Conteat. Chief of Police John Brlgfts says that the InvestlKation of the charges Incrim inating police officers Id holdup raids will be most searching and thorough as far as he Is concerned. The chief declared that he waa awaiting the return of At torney Dean Ringer from Lincoln In order to proceed with the investigation. He said he had understood Ringer was pos. sessed of Information that would lead to the Identification of the guilty party. "If ny Investigation develops tha fact that one of the officers of this depart ment was guilty of such action,", said the chief, "X will Immediately suspend him and file charges with the Fire and Police board. It la an outrage that such conduct should be credited to a police of ficer. It blackens the whole department and shames the decent, honest members. If such a thing exists there ought to be not only dismissal, but criminal prosecu tion." There was a rumor yesterday that the men making the charges had been escorted about the city for the purpose of Identifying the guilty officers. The out come of the tour was not made publla. In the camp of the annexationists the charges are bulng pushed and efforts are belr.g mude to have County Attorney James KiigllBti take tho matter up, I'mnpalan (irotva War ill. Iloth annexationists and antl-annexa-tlonlsts are on the anxious seat and the campaign is rapidly taking on a heated complexion. Doth sides are finding that some of their strongholds are not alto gether solid. Yesterday It was reported that Jetter had swung his club and that employes of the brewery had held an annexation meeting Thursday night at the brewery. Whether Jetter himself had taken charge of the matter could only be conjectured, but the report of his disaffection from the ranks of the antls was not unex pected. It was the understanding that when Jetter recently offered a compromise to the city on the Thirtieth street paving matter, the offer was in the nature of an ultimatum. Jetter, besides being a heavy property owner and taxpayer, controls a number of saloons and his aid will bring new courage and confidence Into the ranks of tha annexationists. In the anti-camp there was a report that the north end of town was not solid for the annexationists while the west L. street district was said to be veering towards the consolidation group. Holdup Ilea Caaght. John Ktefanowskl, a laborer at the Union Stock yards, waa held up laat night at 7 o'clork at Twenty-aeventh and N by two negroes who robbed him of K.60. etefanowskl was walking along tha street In the shadows when tba ne groes held, him up. lie grasped one of them and fought with him until Officer Carey arrived and arrested them both.
