8-A THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: (XJTOBEK 20, 1912. TIMELY REAL ESTATE GOSSIP B. N. Casson Drops Suggestion at Exchange Meeting. ; mmor of Co-operative plan i1 Small I rra tor Mar Have Chance at Bl Properties If Talk of Co. . Operative Company Taken Tangible Shape, "He struck the nail on the head!" Those real estate dealers who attended the last meeting of the exchange and heard Herbert N. Casson, the New York advertising man and "doctor of cities," tell what is the matter with Omaha, thug concurred In his opinloas. -i 3t was impossible to disagree with him, they said, after his thorough explanation of how an outsider can tell more about one's affairs than the one himself and then proceeded to describe troubles which 'those real estate men have seen and tried to cope with for several years. ' -'Tour city should be evened up," Can non said. Tou have a beautiful sky , acraper with a shanty next door, a pretty ' building stands beside a vacant lot which :j!T littered with ugly aignboards, and you say that the reason for the vacant Jot and the shanty is that the property is 'owned by somebody outside the city ,CWho refuses to sell." V Members of the Real Estate exchange declared afterward that they could make '"only a few guesses as the Instances ia which he referred and be correct nine times out of ten. They know what build ings In the center of the city lie meant and know the lots to which he referred, nd certain forces now are at work, they say, which will better these conditions '.n a short time. The speaker tld them to get behind the IJaigna which read "Hands off." Aa a "'coincidence It is known that for the last tew months business men and Investors ,.ave been working with that plan in mlnd. They are going to get behind the ;ign and develop the "gold mine" there "of which Casaon spoke. Very quietly during the last few months some real estate men In Omaha have been Investigating the cooperative plana at work in other cities. Report are , being secured concerning its efficacy from Vvery hand and the notes are being Mtudled to find out the applicability of the "project to Omaha. There are no leaders for the project aa yet, but the sentiment jn Its favor gradually is congealing. .,The o-operatlve plan, if found avail able here, not only will give the keys to the "gold mines" back of these "hands off algns, but will give to the tlmall investor a chance to realize profits from the steady growth in value of city property. i In a few words, the plan is to gather 'together a number of men with a, little capital to Invest, put the whole In a pot which will go to buy a business building or other large property and tllow the small investor a good return n their capital. , . At the national convention of real es tate exchanges at Minneapolis in ' 1910 It will be remembered that William E. Harmon, the real estate dealer of New York City and originator of the "little down, little a month plan," prophesied the success of the co-operative plan, then not known. Just aa he prophesied the universal adaptation of the Installment plan in real estate. ; "Multiplicity of ownership means co operation among the- army of owners," he said. "Real estate has during the past enjoyed much freedom from legislative Interference, beginning with a consti tutional Inhibition against a national tax on real estate, the freedom from state legislative Interference, the freedom from s taxation of mortgage held by corpora tions like savings and life Insurance com panies In many states. These tendencies to lift the burden from real property will trow In an Increasing degree as the wnershlp of real estate is segregated into small units." This speaker also told of an experiment In which he organised a series of com panies for the investment of installment money in a high class of retail business properties. "These corporations," he said, "were otganlsed on the following basis: The net receipts from the sale of stock were to be Invested In the best type of prop, efty available In New York and other cities without any charge against the companies on behalf of the management other than for clerical services and the services of other necessary employes. The first t per cent of the net earnings were to go to the Investor, and thereafter all xcesi earning were to ba divided equally between the. Investor and the promoting organisation. Preferred stock was Issued to the Investor defining the cdnditlona ot Ma ownership. The Interest of the promoters In the companies was represented by common stock entitled to one-half of the earnings over 6 per cent per annum. The 6 per cent dividends were to be cumulative, and if not paid In any i year were to be the first charge on the sebsequent earnings of the company until the full 6 per cent per annum was paid." About $3,000,000 of the stock was sold, iald Mr. Harmon, while the cost of sell ing was necessarily high because of the uniqueness Of the plan and, of course, .ills high cost affected the early earnings as the cost of selling had to beimet by the first receipt on account of the stock Itself. Even with this handicap, the speaket explained In his address, none of the companies had paid less than S per cent regularly. One company paid from earnings Sty per cent to the Investors and an amount equal to one-half of 1 percent, which, Har mon then said, would ultimately go to the benefit of both common and preferred stock, but which were then shown In the estimates ot the company at cost. The Bee will endeavor to secure foi tills column In the Interest of real estate euthuvlasts and more particularly those is ho are Investigating the co-operative plan, a report of the plain said now to be o succeBsf.rl operation In Chicago.

PAXT0N HOMESTEAD SOLD FOR LARGE SUM The north half of the old Paxton home stead st Twenty-fifth and Farnam streets was sold for $40,000. The property was owned by the Paxton heirs and sold by A, P. Tukey & Son to clients of the Hastings & Heydeh realty firm, whose names are not given. It adjoins the property recently built upon by the Drummond Oarage company and extends "800 feet on Douglas street' with a depth of 144 feet on Twenty-fifth avenue and Twenty-sixth street.

Thin announcement was made at noon when the membership committee reported twenty-eight new members, bringing the total up to 101 new names since the cam paign was started three weeks ago. The desire to add 100 to the member ship roer of the club came about when It was discovered that by securing this number the club would be free from debt, immediately two teams were chosen anu set to work. - Friday noon nine new members were reported, bringing the total up to seventy-three, or within twenty-seven of the total number required. Things looked somewhat dubious when It was announced that but one more day was left In which to secure the twenty-seven.

Start Your Baby With Sound Health NELSON, TAKEN LITERALLY, GETS LITTLE FOR SPUDS Slack business methods employed by F, I Nelson, a South Dakota farmer, in sell- ing potatoes was the cause of him getting Into a peck of trouble yesterday after-1 noon. Nelson shipped two carloads of potato. to Omaha and started around the city selling them at 50 cents a bushel. Going into Ed Maloney saloon at Sixteenth and Webster streets yesterday afternoon be asked the bartender to buy a few bushels of his prized "spuds." He was referred to Maloney, who In quired Into the selling prloe. Nelson said he had about thirty bushels he would sel' for 60 cents. Maloney told him to carry the "murphies" into his cellar and he would pay for them. This Nelson did and on the strength of tho sale bought drinks for the house, which amounted to 20 cents. Maloney gave Nelson 30 cents when he hinted he would like to have his money deducting for the drinks. Nelson objected and said he meant 50 cents a bushel and not 80 cents for the entire load. Maloney told htm to take the 30 cents and get out of the saloon.

CIFIXION" 1-i Ill I ) THE PICTURE Lundahl's close adherence to the New Testament description of the Crucifixion is remarkable. Cos tumes, uniforms and settings are all historically cor rect. The Magdalen, with wind-tossed golden hair, is prostrate with grief near the foot of the cross, and Mary of Cleophas clasps her hands as she kneels, paiaed with sorrow at the scene before her. In strong contrast to these is the face and figure of the Madonna, stepping towards the crdss with that expression of maternal love and power, into whose depths of "grief every mother's heart goes out in fullest, sympathy. Nearby stands the Roman guard in silent awe, while the storm and earthquake, breaking down one of the malefactor's crosses and rocking the other in its earthen socket, seems about to crash its dead burden to the ground. Thick vapors encircle the feet of Christ, but the cross stands erect, and bears the body in n full flash of light that brings it out with startling vividness from the heavy back-ground of the terrible storm clouds. . Concerning this painting the Rev. Charles W. Horswell, of the Northwestern University of Chicago, one of the ablest Bible students and art critics of the day, says: . "I have seen paintings ot the Crucifixion by Titian, Murlllo. Michael Angelo, Van Dyck and Raphael, and 1 am compelled to say, after an hour's viBit to the Crucifixion by Lundhal, that It Is the moat real and plausible conception ot tbe last cry of agony Imaginable." . THE ARTIST Franz A. Lundahl, the great artist, was born in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1849, of a Swedish father and a Danish mother. He began the study of art under the famous Robertson of Ghicago, and afterwards studied three years in Paris and Munich and two years in Stockholm,' Sweden, and under such masters as Jerome and Benjamin Constant His early paintings of Bible scenes easily took rank as masterpieces and marked him as a genius, many of his smaller pieces readily selling for three and four, thousand dollars each. "The Crucifixion" is not only the best, but the largest and most valuable canvas he has ever painted. It is 9x14 feet in size and is valued at $100,000.00. No painting in the world has ever been, seen and admired by so many people in so short a space of time. It has been exhibited in most of the leading cities of both Europe and America, and millions have traveled long distances to see the exhibition. And wherever it has been shown it has always created a great furore of pop ular interest. The reverence it inspires is universal, . and men everywhere stand before it with uncovered heads; because in' that figure upon the cross Lundahl has pictured with such marvelous accuracy and power the story of the last agony of Christ, who died for men, that escape from emotional expression is well nigh im possible. .
