ESTABLISH RAILROAD CENTER
Several Systems Will Have Offices

IEASES ABE ALREADY TAKEN
Burlington 'Will Move from FU-
teenth and Farnam to - Permit '
v.
aid Batldinff.
(Fourteenth and Farnam etreets Is to be
come the railroad office center of Omaha.
Several months ago the Rock Island
took a long time lease od the northwest
corner rooms on the first floor of the
Woodmen of the World buildlcg, and will
move In as soon as they are ready for
occupancy, which will probably be before
September 1
Thursday the Milwaukee signed up a
'lease, taking for a long period the rooms
on the Farnam street side of the build
ing. The main office room Is just to the
east of the lobby, with an entrance
'therefrom and one from the street. Back,
and extending almost 'to the alley, will be
the freight, passenger and telegraph work
rooms. The front will be the ticket of
fice and lobby, with private offices of
'General Western Agent Nash and Assis
tant General Western Agent Duvall in
the rear. The Milwaukee will move from
the old as' soon as the rooms in the new
location are ready for occupancy.
The rooms on the Fourteenth side of
the skyscraper and to the rear of those
leased by the Rock Island, have been
faken by the Denver & Rio Grande and
Ion the lower floor.
' Kew Newspaper Building.
The Burlington now has Its city offices
In the old Wabash corner building. Fif
teenth and Farnam streets, but it has to
get out, as G. M. Hitchcock has served
notice that he will want possession of
the property early next spring, or per-,
haps this fall, at which time be will
begin the construction of a newspaper
and office building. This has started the
Burlington people hunting for a new loca
tion and negotiations are being carried
on with the Wood me of the World. Th;
railroad company has taken an option
on the big room on the first floor of the
skyscraper, the one on the Farnam street
Bide and to the east of the one leased by
the Milwaukee. This room runs back
almost to the alley, and if taken by the
Burlington will be used by City Passen
ger Agent Reynolds and his assistants.
'In the movement to gather the. city
ticket offices of the railroads around
Fourteenth and Farnam streets, the Chi
cago Great Western has taken a lease on
the rooms now occupied by, the Rock Is
land and will move from the Merchants'
Hotel building aa soon as the company
can vacate and the offices can be redecorated.
Sprinkling Problem
Faces Water Board
The water company has asked the
Water board to promulgate aa order to
try to stop the excessive use of water
during the warm weather, so that a
repetition of last night's experience may
not be repeated. This the water board
says it does not care to do until It takes
possession of the plant Monday, when
cne of the first things to confront the
boaru will be this problem. Inspectors
will then at once be sent out to see that
the hours for sprinkling are observed.

JURORS SEVERELY CENSURED
Judge Day Discharges Men Who
Drink at Defendant's Expense.
BIG , DAMAGE SUIT IS HEAED
Trial Was Waiting for the Judge to
Give Inatractious to Jury
Jarora Become Thirsty, De
fendant Offers to Buy.
Stern censure of three district court
Jurors for misconduct in permitting the
defendant in a case they were hearing
to buy drinks for them was the dramatic
end of a law suit before Judge George A.
Cay of the law division. The case is that
of Mrs. Catherine Gavin against Frank
Rasmussen, a saloon keeper, for $10,000
damages for alleged Inebriating of her
husband. The Jury was discharged and
the case will be retried at the October
term of court.
The three Jurors accused of misconduct
are Joe Bertal, 121 North Twelfth street;
F. F. Ohlendorf, 1807 M street, South
Omaha, and Adolph Zexulak, 2X North
Twentieth street, South Omaha.
Mrs. Gavin alleged that by drinking
liquor sold him by Rasmussen her hus
band became a confirmed drunkard,' un
able to hold a good Job and upport his
family. Arguments were completed yes
terday afternoon by" W. W. Slabaugh, at
torney for Mrs. Gavin, and A. S. Kltchie,
counsel for Rasmussen. Judge Day ex
cused the jury for the day, saying he
would instruct It In the morn'riT,
He Paid for the Drinks.
Word came to the court that when the
three Jurors In question left the court
room' they fell In with Rasmussen as he
was leaving, and the four walked down
the street together. One juror said he
was going to get a drink. The others
and Rasmussen said they, too. were
thirsty and the four entered a saloon.
Each had a drink and Rasmussen paid
the bill.
Judge Day told the Jury of the infor
mation that had come to him and said
he was convinced the report was true.
He said he was not ready to believe the
jurors realized the seriousness of their
offense and probably they would not
have permitted Rasmussen' s courtesy to
Influence their judgment or actions in
the Jury room.
The three. Jurors were nor removed
from the panel and would be permitted
to serve in other cases. This week, how
ever, ends jury trials for the summer.
All Jurors In the uavin-Rasmussen case
were excused and others are being ex
cused as rapidly as they finish the cases
they are trying.
