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.

NELSON, TAKEN LITERALLY,
GETS LITTLE FOR SPUDS
Slack business methods employed by F, I

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.

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. .
