duced by Water Committee.
RESULTS IN TWO PACTIONS

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Motion Withdrawn.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was withdrawn by Tukey.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

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

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."

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.

All suits that Bold up to 3G.O0 and

It's a real sale with a real reason, In-

Davis Says Power
Canal Will Be Built
Fred II. 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,

EXPLAINS RATE MYSTERY
President Naih Gives His Version of
Readinoai-to-Sorvo Charge.
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"
