DODGE STREET
IMPROVEMENTS
MAY BEDELAYED
Question Jurisdiction of Coun
cil to Start Grading Be
cause Petition On File Is
Incomplete.
The proposed grading and repay
ing of the Dodge street hill is
threatened with 'another delay on
account of alleged technical defects
in the proceedings.
A committee of the city council
met this morning to consider the
award of damages which already
amounts to $200,000, according to
claims presented by property own
ers of the district.
J. P. Breen, attorney, represent
ing the Masonic 'Temple association,
questioned the jurisdiction of the
city council to proceed with the
project, and City Attorney F. L.
Weaver expressed doubts whether
the city may proceed with validity.
File Damage Claims.
One of Mr. Breen's points was
that the petition filed by property
owners for the grading did not em
brace all of the improvements as
specified in the ordinance creating
the improvement district. He fur
ther contended that the city may
not take into account benefits which
may accrue on account of the
streets being made more accessible
by reason of the grading and repay
ing. 3"he following claims for dam
ages were presented to the commit
tee of the city council: Callahan
Realty company, $25,000; Helen An
derson, $13,586; Alpha camp No. 1,
Woodmen of the World, $2,500;
Jacob Slosberg, $10,090; Mrs. Fer
dinand Adler, $5,000; Nebraska Tel
ephone company, $25,000; St. Mary
Magdalene Catholic church, $50,720;
Masonic temple, $47,778; School Dis
trict of Omaha, $30,079; Ella Staple
ton, $50,000.
Special Law Required.
This improvement has been under
way for several years. The former
city administration obtained passage
of a law in the state legislature au
thorizing the city council to create
improvement districts of more than
one street and embracing more than
one kind of improvement, and under
that new law the Dodge hill project
was started.
The improvement contemplates
grading Dodge street, from beven
teenth to Twenty-second streets,
with re-establishment of the grades
of intersecting streets to conform.
The deepest cut would be 22 feet
at a point on Dodge street, between
Nineteenth and Twentieth streets,
Bids for the work were opened
this week by the city council, which
will meet again next Monday morn
ing to hear the legal points dis
cussed.
Greer As Bandit Is '
Short for Man Who
Attempted Holdup
The career of Luther Richardson,
alias Sam Clark, as a highwayman
was marked by a notable lack of
success.
Last Friday he was a free and ap
parently law abiding citizen. Today
he is a criminal, caught in the act,
and under sentence of from 3 to 15
years in the Nebraska penitentiary,
District Judge Redick sentenced him
yesterday morning.
Last Saturday afternoon Richard
sen held up Lawrence Lee, 403 Ban
croft street and robbed him of $12
and a gold watch, fifteen minutes
after the holdup he was shackled
and on his way to the police station,
having been captured by Detectives
Toland and Bauman after a running
tight in which Detective Toland
shot eight times and Richardson
seven without drawing any blod.
Richardson said he didn't know
why he had "pulled" the daylight
robbery and said he guessed it was
not a very profitable business. He
was taken to Lincoln yesterday
morning was in his cell less than a
week after he committed the crime.
Mayor to Force Street
Car Co. to Move Tracks
On Leavenworth Street
Mayor Smith has prepared for in
troduction at the next city council
meeting an ordinance to require the
street railway company to move its
tracks from the south side to the
center of Leavenworth street, be
tween I'orty-eighth and Sixtieth
streets. , , .
A contract for paving this street
was awarded last year to Charles
Fanning Paving company, and Mr.
Fanning has contended to the city
council that his work has, been de
layed on account of failure of the
street railway company to move its
tracks.
The mayor asserts that he in eo
ing to "the bat" with the traction
company and if they will not move
the tracks, the city will do the
work and charge the expense
against the company..
Returns Diamond Ring
After Former Friend
Brings Suit In Court
Mrs. Ellen Connors, 2755 South
Ninth street, surrendered to Con
stable M. P. Roach a diamond ring
which sh says was given to Tier by
A. P. Hanting for a birthday pres
ent. .
Hanting started attachment pro
ceedings in Justice' Collins' court
The case has been set for 9 o'clock
Saturday morning, but the young
woman asserts she will not contest
the case; that if Hanting wants the
ring, he may have it.
The writ of attachment served by
Constable Roach called for one ring,
bine suit, one hat, pair of shoes, and
waist.
Hanting was arrested last Tues
day morning at 1 o'clock after hav
ing made an early morning call on
Mrs. Connors in a taxicab, demand

Prices of Coffee to Go Up
100 Per Cent After July 1
Freezing of Crop in Brazil, From Where Most of Our
Coffee Comes From, Given As Cause for Raise
. Beverage Went Up 100 Per Cent During War.
If you are a coffee drinker you
are going to discover that after July
1, this year, this beverage that
cheers, will start on a skyward tour.
In other words, the price is sched
uled to advance something like 100
per cent. Jobbers have received no
tice of the advance, and this advance
is all attributed to a frost that last
year destroyed hundreds of the cof
fee plantations in Brazil.
As the story goes, and as it is
brought o the Omaha jobbers, late
last season a regular "norther" blew
over Mexicp, down through Central
adn South America. With the
"norther" there was a cold spell of
unusual severity and it continued
for several days. The result was,
according to the report, most of the
plantations within its area were not
only badly frosted, but in most in
stances the plants were killed.
From the time it is set out it re
quires about four years for a coffee
plant to reach the producing stage.
Thus, with .the Mexican and South
American plantations frozen out,
local dealers do not anticipate lower
coffee prices in the near futttre, due
to the fact that a shortage will exist.
Of the cotlee consumed in the
UnitecLStates, according to Omaha"
dealers, the greater portion, or at
least most of that of the better
grades, comes from Brazil.
, Since three years ago coffee of the
better grades has advanced close to
100 per cent, and the new increase in
price is to come on top of all this,
placing the beverage in the luxury
class.
According to local dealers, the
previous advance in coffee prices was
brought about by war conditions.
Now, with the war over, it is a
"freeze-out" of the plant.
