Omaha Lumber Firm
Loses Customer by
Death of Leo Frank
How an Omaha lumber company lost an
excellent customer through tne mo
rank case In Atlanta. Oe-. haa J"
come to light In Omaha.
That company la the Nebraska Bridge
w Supply and Lumber Company of Omahrv.
This company was steadily furnishing
red cedar logs to the lead pencil manu
facturing company of which Leo Frank
waa manager In Atlanta.
The Frank trial caused the factory to
be closed for a time, aa Frank had bean
manager of the plant Following Frank's
' tragic death the factory waa closed per-
manently. Thus the demand for cedar
logs from the Omaha concern stopped
short.
There la still another phase te the situ
ation. The Omaha concern bad Jong ago filed
a case before the Interstate Commerce
commission seeking a lowering of xne
rates on low-grade cedar logs Into At
, L, lanta. Now that their customer in At
4 I 4- lanta la no longer taking logs, such
J f ( lowering would, not Concern, the company
at all. - . .' " ' ' '
In the original caae. Attorney . MeVenn
of Omaha, had asked for reparation also
for the past overcharges by the rail
roads. The commission denied the repara
tion. In the same order, however, the
commlssln declared it unreasonable to
charge from to 1 cents more on low
grade Igs, fence rails, and other odd and
ends of cedar than on good cedar timber.
In the petition for rehearing, the
Omaha company la again asking for
reparation, on the contention that whn
the commission passes on reparation, It
acts In Its quasi-judicial capacity to light
private wrong, while when it fixes a
rate for the future, it acts for the future
o prevent a wrong to the public .

CARDS SPELLED WRONG BUT
ANYHOW. SINGER WILL COME
Window cards, announcing the appear
anoe of Mme. Julia Claussen, contralto,
with the Mendelssohn choir of Omaha 'n
concert on Tuesday evening next at the
Boyd theater, are now being placed tn
down town windows, and show that even
musical Chicago does not know how to
properly spell the name of tha famous
composers, as the Chicago house which
prints these pictures of Mme. Claussen,
with the headings thereon, spells the
word "Mendelssohn" with only one "s".
The members of the choir feel aggrieved
at having their choir name go out tn this
manner, and only the short time, which
prevents any reprinting, haa made them
use the cards as they are. .

that certain member banks of the Fed
