AUCTIONEERS ARE
ID SESSION HERE
i
International Society Would
Disbar Those Who Con
duct Fake Sales.
LEGISLATION IS DISCUSSED
State examining boards to examine
auctioneers as to their fitness to con
duct legitimate auction sales, and with
authority to disbar from practice any
auctioneer who conducts a fake auc
tion, are some of the things the In
ternational Association of Auction
eers is seeking.
The association is in session at the
Hotel Castle. The convention ex
tends over yesterday and today.
"We want to do away with several
of the unfair laws in some of the
states and get "better laws in other
states," said Secretary J. Wilbur Read
of Peoria, 111. "We want to do away
with prohibitory licenses and a lot of
other abuses. There is no more rea
son why an auctioneer should pay a
license than that any man should pay
a license for the privilege of going
about his daily business.
To Protect Legitimate Auctioneer.
"Our problem in the International
association is in general to work to
ward uniform legislation in the vari
ous states. We are also working
against the faker, to protect the legiti
mate auctioneer against the faking
auctioneer and to protect the legiti
mate business man against the opera
tions of the faker."
Colonel J. E. Stout of Peoria, 111.,
is president of the association. He
delivered a rousing address at the
opening of the session and reviewed
some of the needed legislation.
J. Wilbur Read of Peoria is secretary-treasurer
and J. L. Dowd of Om
aha is vice president.
J. L. Dowd, vice president, is ex
pecting to be elected president for the
coming year, as this has been a kind
of precedent to place the vice presi
dent into the presidency.
Fireman Given Leave of
Absence to Go to War
Junior Captain Robert Dunlap of the
Dundee fire house has been granted
an indefinite furlough by Superinten
dent Withnell, that he may join his
company, the Dodge Light Guards,
at Council Bluffs. Captain Dunlap
was identified with this military or
ganization before he entered the
Omaha fire department and now he
feels that he wants to be with his for
mer comrades when they go to the
border.
Gutzon B or glum, Famous Sculptor,
Gives Niece Away Over the Phone
Unable to come to Omaha to give
his favorite niece in marriage, Gutzon
Borglum, noted sculptor, performed
that service Tuesday afternoon by
long distance telephone from New
York City.
Mr. Borglum was expected here to
give Miss Ida Darlow, daughter of
Mrs. Alfred Darlow, in marriage to
Mr. Lloyd Delos Burdic of Herman,
Neb. Important business made it
impossible for him to make the trip
and the telephone call was the result.
"I'm going to give you away wheth
er I'm in Omaha or not," the famous
artist told his niece over the 'phone,
"so let me talk to the bridegroom."
When Mr. Burdic took the receiver
Mr. Borglum repeated the formal
words.
To -his sister, Mrs. Darlow, who fi
nally gave the bride away, Mr. Borg
lum repeated his regret at not being
able to attend the wedding and his
plan for a visit here a little later.
HAS PLAN TO WIDEN
TWENTHOURTH.ST.
City Planning- Superintendent
Has Figures on Eighty
Foot Basis.
SIXTY BUILDINGS IN WAY
Superintendent Kvenild of the City
Planning board has completed a pre
liminary plan for proposed widening
of Twenty-fourth street, Cuming to
Pacific streets, to a uniform width of
eighty feet. This plan will be con
sidered by the board when Chairman
Morton returns from the east. The
board has not indicated whether it
favors an eighty-foot or hundred-foot
street, but the superintendent made
the plan upon the basis of eighty feet
for the first consideration of the
board.
This plan shows that the street
would be widened as follows: Pacific
to Leavenworth, thirty feet on east
side; Leavenworth to St. Mary's ave
nue, thirty feet on east side; St.
Mary's avenue to Harney, twenty-six
feet on west side; Harney -to Farnam,
twenty-six feet on east side; Farnam
to Cass, no change; Cass to Cuming,
all widening to be done on the east
side, the property affected varying in
width according to the present width
of this section of the street.
Sixty Buldings in Way.
Sixty buildings would be in the way
of this proposed widening plan. With
the exception of Farnam to Cass
streets, Twenty-fourth street, Pacfic
to Cuming street, is from forty-six to
fifty-four feet in width.
It is the purpose of the Planning
board to arrange meetings with prop
erty owners interested and discuss
the wisdom of an eighty-foot or hundred-foot
street.
Next winter the legislature will be
asked to pass a bill empowering the
city to assess special taxes and vote
bonds for an improvement of this
magnitude. Under the present law if
the total assesmcnt is more than
$50,000 the matter must be submitted
to a vote before the levy can be made.
About a year ago the Twenty-fourth
street widening project was consid
ered on a basis of a hundred-foot
street and the Real Estate exchange
submitted a tentative plan. At tha
time it was proposed to assess half
of the cost against an improvement
district to. be created and pay the
other half through a bond issue or by
a special tax levy distributed over the
entire city.
