WILD TALE OF A COCOANUT
Mayor Receives Southern Fruit
with Sensational History.
HENRY W. DUNN IS THE DONOR
Omnlin'n Clilel of Police Spin Vnrn
Which T h rente ii n to Topple City's)
Chief Uxeeutlve'M Ileimoii
Iroin IIh Lofty Throne.
Mayor Unlilmun has received a 'Jnlquo
present from Chief of Police Henry V.
Di-nrf, wh'o is spending an outing .u
Miami. KIu. 'rhls present Is a huge cocoa
nut with the mayor's mid chief's name
burned on It. In a letter Dunn tellt. of
how he shook the cocoanut from the tree,
hut little- credence Is given his story,'
because he has woven n sensational ro
mnncu about this cocoanut, recounting
how the tree upon which It Brow wns dis
covered by Ponco da Jeon in the rlx
teenth century while he was searching for
thu fountain of perpetual youth.
Poucu had about despaired of finding
thu fountain and as a last effort to pre
serve his aging body he Invented and
udvcitlsed Florida water and aun baths,
later discovering a face lotion for use
of barbers made from the milk of a
cocoanut grown on the tree from which
Dunn gaithered this nut. The size of
the-tree, says the chief, lends a semblance
)( veracity to tho theory that our ante
diluvian ancestors sported In Its branches
In man's arboreal days.
Here Is a conflict In Dunn's table. De
spite tho robustness of Omaha's chief of
police Ii Is considered improbable ttrnt
lie could shake a cocoanut from so laute
a ttee. Reins much interested and pleased
with the gift the mayor has written the
chief unking for a more logical history
oi the cocoanut. The mayor .wants a
genealogical account so written that lie
can lead It to hlu friends without fear
ot criticism or danger of toppling reason
from hor lofty throne.
"It's a very pretty thing," ald 'he
mayor rolemnly to tho group gathered
about tho rough looking fruit. "Not only
Is it fine Jo look upon, bat It has a
peculiar rattle, as peculiar to Itself as
the sound of the waves In a soashell."
.And he picked up the cocoanut and shook
;t. The milk slopped noisily against Its
tides.

William U. Uurbank. lessee of the
million dollar hotel, has applied to thu
directors of the hotel company for
twenty-two feet additional ground wast
of the site donated by Arthur Urandeis
and John U Kennedy. Tho lot, which
is 132x13:: feet, Is not large enough, he
says, to accomodate the kind of lobby
and dining rooms he desires for tho
structure and tentative plans, which
have been recently drawn call for more
space if It Is possible to get It.
Tho directors have placed the lessee's
application on file and probablywlll take
some action when A. D. Brandcls, who
owns the property west of the stto, re
turns to Omaha. Urandeis 1b now In

Omaha March 23. .Some of the directors
say tho additional, property may ho
bought from Brandels at cost, hut
whether or not arrangements can be
made by the directorate to secure It
none was willing to say.
According to some of the directors, lite
only way tho additional property can bo
bought is by asking more subscriptions
to cover the Increase of stock. The
agreement between the directors and
Uurbank calls for 6 per cent of the capi
tal as rent for the twenty years lease,
and the lessee has announced that he will
be willing to pay tho Increased rental
If he can get the additional space for
the site of tho hotel.
Thomas It. Kimball, tho architect, has
awarded a contract to King & Rohr
bough, engineers, for taking levelB and
setting permanent monuments for thu
structure. This work will be begun im
mediately. Excavation will be postponed
until definite plans are made and archi
tectural drawings have been passed upon
by the directors and the lessee.
The first call, that of 10 per cent on
stock subscriptions, was Issued Saturday,
and out of 200 subscribers A. L,. Heed,
the treasurer of the company, already
has received thirty checks.
Many Investors, who were delayed In
getting in the list of subscribers, will be
given a chance If the additional space
for the building is decided upon and
purchase Is made.
