14 TITR BEE: OMAITA. THURSDAY, JTNE 19. 1913. REAL ESTATE MEN HAYE ROW Get Into Fnis Over Resolution Intro duced by Water Committee. RESULTS IN TWO PACTIONS bne DelleTea In "Cntchlnir Kites Trtth Mol.Hfi" Other WonU Use JiHvr to Cntrlt the Witter Iloard. A g row wi precipitated nt tho Weekly meeting of the Real Estate ox change Wednesday noon when a resolu tion was Introduced by the water com mlttee that a suit be started against tho Water board to test the rule of that body requiring; owners of property to sign contract guaranteeing the payment of water bills by tenants. The polemic wound up by a declaration of F. D. Wead, member of the Water board, that he wot) "sore" at Harry A. Tukcy, chair man of the water committee, for Intro ducing such a motion. Following Us Introduction the argu ments started and the exchongo split In twain. C. W, Russell toojc the floor and Bald that If the organization started such t suit he would resign his membership, as he hod "too much respect for F. D. Wead and i the Water board" to be a party to any such action. A fow other friends of Wead sided with Russell and declared against such action. Russell said he believed In the old saying that "you can catch more files with molasses than with -vinegar." Won't nlte on Molasses. "But," replied Harry Wolf," the Water board won't bit .on molasses. There Is not enough humanity In this Water board. Its laws and rules are Immutable. l was talking with a. representative of a prominent law firm the other day who told me that his firm would be glad to take such a suit for any real estate owner. There Is no reason 1 to this rule of requiring the owner of property to Stand good for all the water his tenant uses." "There Is absolutely no reason la It," ft&ld W. H. Green. "The owtior Of a building might as well sign a contract mlanuitoelng the payments of all his ten atttV debts. There would be Just. a much reason In' It" L. D. Bpauldlng suggested that the Water board get a bonding company to guarantee all Its losses through tho rioh-parmcnt of .bills by tenants. "(J. a. Carlberg declared that even that Was not necessary. "The losses of the Water board in that way does ndt atnount to 1-100 of 1 per cent," he said. Motion Withdrawn. The motion that tho tost com be made was withdrawn by Tukey. He said ha hod Introduced It at the behest of Presi dent Hastings so as to get F. fi, Wead "Started" and they could leant where the board stood. Tukey brought In the resolution In his report on a meeting with the Water board recently to dis miss the question. Ha reported that the attorney for the Real Estate exchange was not given a chance to make a state ment for the organisation because of Interruptions from Water Commissioner HoWell. He said the meeting had started out amicably, but when the exchange's .attorney attempted to state tho cose, the Interruptions started. Howell, he said, would not listen to any of the argu ments their attorney put up and he thought some action must be taken on the subject, hence, the resolution. MALE SHOPPERS JUST AS EAGER AS FEMALE KIND Brook's Clearance Sale of Clothing Brings to Light Many Characteris tics of Men. BARGAIN SPIRIT INBORN All Seek to Securo Clothes at Lowest Price Limit. STOCK MOVING FAST 7s Urook's Present Clearance) Clothing Halo In tho Largest Hvcnt Kvcr Pulled Off In n fltoro Itoom of Similar Capacity. It takes a gigantic sole of clothing to bring out tht odd and quaint buying char acteristics of man. TheSspresent Clearance Snle of Oeorge Brooks, the Clothier at 16th .and Harney flta., has proved conclusively thnt a man Is just as eager a bargain Meeker as a woman, although gTanted that he goes at matters In a different wsiy. , Men will not Jostle and crowd Uko wo men; they will not "grab any old thing" just to prevent a neighboring shopper from getting It; but they do read bargain ads,( case at show windows and attend sales early Just as do their wives, moth era, sisters and daughters. But Omaha men have had plenty of excuse for acquiring the "Bargain Bale" habit lately; Brook's Sale would convert oventhe hardest of them. Brooks, In his pretty, little City Na tional Bank building shop. Is offering a line of clothing that Is unusual In the first place; qualities are better here be cause Brooks purchased his stock origi nally with an idea of appealing only to the "sweller" trade. But overt tho "swellot" trade did not buy clothing aa Utey should this spring. Tho chilly foro part of tho year wo have Just passed' through has left Brooks with a stock that must be moved at practically what ever It will bring. Male shoppers are hero all the time; the Store Is never empty; racks And shelves of clothes ore dwindling fast; mon wilt look at suits, oak the alse, then the price; then will slap down tho coin before some other observing rnan will have an opportunity to do so, They do not sail In with such force as women, but they are equally determined. Arid it is alt because of the values offered. Omaha has never had values like them; at least Omaha clothiers have not been given to offering similar outs In prices until after the "Fourth of July" at least. And the "Bargain Instinct" of man Is fur-there awakened by tho fact that he will be able to get a few weeks' addi tional wear out of his suit. Buy a Brooks suit now at a reduced jirlce and wear It away on your vacation, or have It ready for "Ifourth of Juuly," Ktther do that or pay some other clothing con cern a regular price and a regular profit Xot Awsr. of friction. ! " ,ner" f "? ,nUr COn Wild renlled to this By saving that he i rn uiearunce prices on every was not aware of any friction at the meeting between the water committee of the exchange and the Water board. The board, he said, has to listen to so many different opinions, so many absolutely' divergent minds. He admitted that It Was distasteful to him in his own builliess tii have to sign contracts guaranteeing his tenants wator bills, but he "would not let his own business Interfere with any policies the Water board should pursue." Harry Tukcy said his committee was asked to prepare a plan of guaranteeing' the payment of water bills and submit It 'for the action of' tho Wator board. That was the result of the committee's meeting wttlt the Water board. There were only four members of the board pres ent. Including II r, Howell, ho said, and Mr.' Howell had most ot the talking to do. "That Is untrue." sold F. P. Wead, IJ had a fqw questions to ask at that meet ing, myself." . WonU Start Suit. C. d. Carlberg, who seconded the mo tion of the chairman, of. tho exchange's water committee, withdrew his second when .Tukey withdrew his motion. "I want ' It understood, though," ho sold, "that I think this rule ot tho Water board Is absolutely wrong and I bcllevo that If wo can't get the question set tled then we should start a suit I don't believe thero Is a court In the world that would find Justice In the rule. Ttioy can't make me guarantee anybody else's bills, whether for water or anything else. Finally the exchange agreed to let the matter drop Until some action on the rule Is taken by the Water board. As expressed by some of, the members, ''the exchange does not wont to be placed In the attitude ot opposing the Water board." utt In the house. That Is, they are not doing so now, although sales will be common enough after the "Fourth of July." Just as a memory Jogger, Brooks ap pend his sale prices herewith: All suits that formerly sold at 120.00 r now going at IIS.W. All suits that formerly sold at 126.00 are now going at only llfl.60. All suits that sold up to JSO.OO form. erly will now be offered at $19. GO. All suits that Bold up to 3G.O0 and $10.00 will now go at only IO.G0. It's a real sale with a real reason, In- ugurot6d by Brooks, who Was the first to "Swing tho Axe" on prices this season. Golf to Be Taught at Special School Pupils who will attend the special boys' school which Superintendent draff and President E. Holovotchlner will cstab. lUh next fall will play golf and all other known gomes In addition to learning all the manual trades. B. D. Qepson, who will be the head nt the new school, says such an Interest has been displayed in the new Institution that It looks ltke a rush to get in. This school will be for the boys wno have not been making good In their regUV lor school work.

Florence Business Men to Investigate Officials' Actions At a meeting of tho Commercial club of Florence yesterday a resolution was adopted ordering a committee to In vestigate the actions of city offtlcals and of the peopU bringing Injunctions against the city officials whenever they Btart to do anything for the city besides drawing their pay.

Davis, one ot the promoters of the Platte River Power and Canal company, says the supreme court decls Ion on tho franchise ot the electrlo light company will havo po effect that he can see on that proposition. The canal Is under way. he says, arid he can see no reason why It will not go through so far as the electrlo - light franchise Is concerned. Isoaa Congdon, attorney for the power and canal company, also believes the supreme court decision will have no ef fect on that company. The local representatives ot the com pany have not heard from the Kountse brothers or any of the other eastern men Interested in the power canal since the decision. They declare, however, that the bonds will not be affected and the canal will be built If nothing more serioua than the recent court ceclslons comes up, MULLEN SAYS HE WILL FILE CHARGES AGAINST OFFICERS Arthur Mullen, attorney for William Murray, acquitted n federal court re cently where he was tried for violating the Mann not. announced In pollceNsouit that he will file charges with the city council against Detective Dunn and Kennelly and Motorcycle Officer Wheeler on behalf ot his client MulUn asserts that Murray was falsely orrecUd.

NBI8T8 .DISCRIMINATION IS FA"1 Light Man Defends ttatos Iter us No tl Ifc her TnM EUoVrhere, with I'osslbly o Pew Kxceutlons. Bo far as what you say In Tho Bee gives the Impression that our company Is overcharging customers, or that our method ot fixing the charges la not fair or Just, you are all wrong," declared President A. Nash or the electric lighting company. "Our averagu rate for light In Omaha Is as low as It Is In any other city In the country. Of course, 1 am speaking generally, for there may be a few exceptions, and when we reduce, as wa are going to, to. 12 cents, there won't be another city where the cus tomers are nerved cheaper. "Tou are all wrong, too. In taking excep- tlon to the method by which our charges are measured. This Is what Is known as the charge for rcadlness-to-servo whereby we exact a higher rata accord ing to the lamp capacity of the customer supplied to compensate us for our In vestment, and fixtures nseded, to do ready to serve him to full capacity on demand. We could charge, aa they do some places, for 100 per cent ot this capoclty, when, as a matter ot fact, we charge only 60 per cent of It. Tou wouldn't have us make you pay the same as we would charge Mr. Joslyn, would you, If the meters at your house and his showed the same amount ot current con sumed? That wouldn't be fair to you because we have to be ready to light the Joslyn castle with every lamp turned on, and that takes a great deal larger Invest- ment In machinery and plant than to light all the lamps In your house. "Another thing, wa don't sell a com modity. That's where we are different from a water company or gas company. They can store their water or gas, while we have to be ready to manufacture the electric current as It Is wanted. We sup ply a service, not a commodity, and we have a right to charge tor being ready to supply It. Charnre for Betnir Ileadr to Serve. "I want to tell you that , this principle of a readlnesa-to-serve charge has been approved as fair and Just by every pub- Ho utility commission that has ever acted on lighting rates well, perhaps they have not sold other methods of. charging are unfair but this Is the method generally adopted, and even tu those cities that do not base the charges on lamp capacity, they get around It by a sliding scale, and the average charge is Just as high or higher than ours. An other thing, there Isn't another city In the country where the public get thenr street lamps aa cheap aa we furnish them here. "About the power canal, I don't know much about It It may be built now It It looks aa it It could be made to pay on the Investment The fact Is the Kountse people have an option to buy our plant, and our folks have an option to buy their water rights. It's a buy or sell proposition, as I understand It. but I don't know whether the options will be exercised right1 away or not" ' Dynamite Wreeka llulldlnajB aa completely aa coughs and colds wreck lungs.
