8 ROBBED BY THEIR LANDLORD | Monopoly that Pays One Hundred Per Oent Yearly on Investment. MARTIN'S ROLE IN THE BURNT DISTRICT Monstrous Imposition Upon Melpless Vie- thms of Avarice Jo Connlvanc) with Lax Police Otticials—The Padrone System in the Burnt District. 1t requires but little investigation to es- tablish the fact that the unfortunate women who inhabit the territory known as the “burnt district” are victims of systematic extortion at the hands of their landlords It appears that nine-tenths of the rentable property in this district is either owned or controlled by a single man. Consequently ho has an fron clad monopoly and is able to dictate exorbitant rentals without op position. According to municipal regula- tion his tentints are not allowed to go out- side of this territory and they must pay whatever he may demand or leave the city altogether. The greater part of the property in the burnt district is controlled by Mr. M. F. Martin. The tenants of nearly, if not quite, nine-tenths of the buildings in this territory that are occupied as houscs of prostitution pay their rent either directly to him or to his agents. In a number of cases the lot on which his bulldings are located is owned by other persons, but is leased by Mr. Martin for a term of years The buildings have been erected by him on the leased premises and are under his pereonal management The rents paid by been unfortunate enough of this life beyond the pale of soclety are enormous. There are several cases in which the yearly rental of the buildings amount to more than the orlginal cost. The terms have been invariably cash in advance and the tenants are required to pay their own bills for gas, water and insurance, and kecp the ‘property in repair. The landladies of the more pretentious resorts usually deal with Mr. Martin in person, but he has several agents who collect the rent from the more degraded inmates of the district, The nucleus of the colony. of vice, as well as the resorts most patronized by fashion- able rounders, is found on Ninth street between Douglas street and Capitol avenue. The first forty feet on the west side of Ninth street north of Douglas is occupied by a saloon. From there north to Dodge street stretches a row of bawdy houses of various degrees of pretention, all of which are di- rectly or indirectly under the control of Martin. The next forty feet north of the saloon 18 owned by Mattie Martin, M. F. Martin's wife. The property is assessed at $1,540. On this lot is located a two- story and basement brick structure, The building is of medium size, scarcely oc- cupying half the lot. It 1s one of the old- est buildings on the street and Is said to be in very poor condition. It rents, however, for $175 a month unfurnished, the tenant paying for all gas, water, repairs, ete. ONE YEAR PAYS THE COST. The next fifty-two feet is owned by M. F. Martin and is assessed at $4,800. This Is the “Castle,” which is the most pretentious structure from an architectural standpoint in the district. It is comparatively a new building, and four storles high with a gray limestone front. Half of it is now occupled by a madam, who pays $200 per month for the bare wails. Last year the other half was run in partnership by M. F. Martin and Miss Mann. The remmining two lots on the block are leased by Mr. Martin, who has erected the buildings. The first’ sixty-six feet is par- tially occupied by a two-story building with a stone front, which contams three suites of apartments. The apant of the first pays 150 a month. The first floors of the Temaining apartments are rented toa couple ©of women for $100 and $75a month respec- tively. The rent for this building is col- lected by Nels Seieroe, the contractor who erected them, who is supposed to collect the rent until it amounts to what fs due him on his contract. The lot and building are assessed at $1,400, On the last sixty-six feet of the block Which is the southwest corner of Ninth and Dodge streets, stands a row of one-story brick flats. There are Lalf a dozen of them in all and they are occupled by women of the most degraded character, who pay $3 a day each for the use of one of the flats. Each flat contains three rooms, one behind another. ‘The first is a parlor, about 8x10 in size, which opens on the street. This is furnished with a cheap carpet, a sheet iron stove and a couple of pleces of furniture. Back of this 18 a bedroom furnished with a cheap chamber get, and this opens into a sort of kitchen that i8 not furnished at all. None of the rooms are much more than large enough to turn ound In and the furnishings of each apartments are worth from $30 to $50. palatial structures bring in a dally rental of $18, or $640 a month. This would amount to aver $6,000 per year, or fully twice what the buildings cost to construct. Thig corner Jot with the buildings is assessed at $2,675. The mansion on the northwest corner of Ninth and Dodge streets Is owned and occu- pled by a party who also claims to hold the title to the lot. The two lots north of that are assessed at $3,500 aplece. The first is partially covered by a double two-story brick house, which Is now empty. On the other lot stand three two-story and basement wooden flats, which are occupled. These flats rent for $376 a month. Across the street stand two large brick establishments occupied. Both the lot and buildings are owned by Mr. Martin, and are assessed at $2700. This also includes the two-story brick building on the corner, which was formerly used as a saloon but is now occupled by a number of women who pay from $3 to $6 per day for apartments. The two large buildings are constructed of brick and are three stories hig The one nearest the corner is occupled by a woman who pays a rental of $200 a month. The rent was formerly $300, but last July the figures were slightly reduced on a threat by the occupant to leave the house unless a reduction was made. The adjointug house is sadly out of repalr, and when the present occupant took control the plaster was oft from the walls in nearly all of the rooms. Water pipes had bursted and caused considerable damage, but tho structure. commanded a fancy price just the same. At one time it rented for $400 a month. Then it was re- duced to $360, then to $300, and later to 260, Last July times became so hard that the tenant declared that she would leave un- less a further reduction was made, aud she now rents the house for $200. The reduction was partially made In consideration of the fact that she has been at an enormous ex- pense for repairs, which had become nece sary through the neglect of former occu- pants. Mr. Martin collects the rent from these houses in person. The northeast corner of Ninth and Dodge streets Is occupled by a three-story and base- ment structure which rents to Lottie Lee for $200 a month. The bullding is of wood throughout and is construeted in the cheap- est possible manner. Just back of this building, at 822 Dodge street, is a bullding milar in design, but inferior in size, which occupled by a courtesan. It rents for 126 & month, but In this case the water flls are paild by the landlord. Lot and bulldings are assessed at $3,000. On the oppposite corner {8 a two-story wooden bullding, which is also rented. Thiy rents at $35 per week, and with a number of other bulldings Is assessed at $1,000. The three wooden bulldings named are owned by Mr. Martin, who colllects the rent. RENT OF SMALLER BUILDINGS. Two small wooden bulldings at 103 and 106 South Ninth street rent for $4 a day each. The rent is collected by an old woman who lives in one of the apartments. She is sup- posed to be one of Mr. Martin's agents. From 107 to 118 1s & row of one-story brick flats similar to tho: ross the street. Each number represents thres small rooms which are arranged in & manner similar to those already deseribed. The cellings are so low that they can almost be reached from the and the jolste that support the roof ;’:"u‘ dowh Igtq the rooms. These also the women who have to become a part ’l‘ll OMAHA DAlLY BER: ¢ ATURI)AY rent for §3 a day each, and the rent goes into Mr. Martin's coffers, The rent s col- lected by the man who is kiown as “Harry." All these bulldings are included in the $1,000 assessment on the lot. There are seventeen houses of prostitu- tion on the north side of Capitol avenue be- tween Ninth and Tenth. They are occupled by courtesans of the most abandoned de- scription. Next to Ninth street are two small two-story frame buildings which rent for $6 each a day. A row of one-story frame shanties occupy the middle of the block. They contafn six apartments which rent for $250 a day each. On the west half of the block stands a row of one-story brick flats which bring $5 a day aplece. The buildings are all of cheap construction, but a mental caloulation develops the fact that the com- bined rental amounts to $70 a day, $2,100 a month, or $25,200 a_year. The. property is only assessed At $5,040. It may be seen that a handsome Interest I8 realized on the investment, The rentals are attended to by Mrs. Lewls, otherwi; known as Mrs. Slo- brisk: who was formerly the proprietor of the “Manchester” at Thirteenth street and Capitol avenue For_the past few months Martin's tenants have been unable to pay the exorbitant rents a month in advance and Martin fs now mak- ing his collections from week to week and from day to day In advance. He is living on the street and is taking every precaution not to lose any part of the deadly grip he has upon the residents of the district It would take columns to describe the out- rages and Indignities he has heaped upon the unfortunate women who have fallen into his clutches. Martin's rise has been raplid. He came to Omaha a few years ago without money. He started a little second han furniture store, which soon blossomed into an installment house. Tales innumerable were told of the schemes practiced by wh the profits of the business were enlarged. Money flowed into his strong box and he soon developed Into a promoter of a p g in- dustry In the furnishing of louses for women of the town. He has worked his opportuni- ties until now there is hardly a woman of the town who does not in some way pay tribute to him. He openly boasts of his pull with certain officials who ha a hand in the regulation of vice in Omaha and is in a position to drive any wom out of town who will not submit to hix extortions in the mat- ter of rents and furniture deals. et MAKING T MSELVES F LT, Best Omaha. One of the Neatest and Shoe Stores Last Saturday there was opened in this city one of the most elegant shoe houses that has been seen here in many a day. It was the new store of T. P. Cartwright & Co., at 1415 Douglas. v have not spared a cent that would In have enhanced the beauty of their store or the value of their stock, They have completely renovated Schoelply’s old stand, and have placed therein a most complete line of extra fine and medium price shoes for both ladies and gentlemen. The imported feather fans which they gave away on the opening day were something a litte beyond the reach of the ordinary dealer and were eagerly sought for by all the lady callers. As souvenir distributors they cer- tainly stand at the head, and if they keep as good a grade of shoes, which bids fair to be the case, they will certainly deserve a little more than a share of the business. Another new feature, a permanent one, which will be appreclated by both ladies and gentlemen, is the polishing department, where a first-class artist of sable hue will put a shine on your shoes that will be con- sidered par excellance as to beauty, but will preserve the shoes from the many acld prep- aratlons that are going the rounds just now, and are so Injurious to the shoe leather. This is all done free of charge by Messrs, Cartwright & Co., who Wit be pleased to have any lady or gentleman call and see them, and while looking over the new store to rest in the shining chair. The fact that you may have bought your shoes elsewhere ghould not prevent you from enyoying the pleasure of one of these shines. They will not ““run down’ your shoes, nor will they bore you with impartunities to buy. e fine boating, Courtland beach. bt By special request the lecture on the can- ning of fruits will be given by Prof. Blits this afternoon, 2 p. m., at Y.

At 2:45 yesterday morning fire broke out in the office of the Manger Printing company, 316 South Thirteenth street, and for a time it appeared -as though the entire block occu- pled by this company and the Columbia Clothing company must go. The flames shot heavenward from windows In the second, third, and even fourth stories. The Interior appeared to be gutted before the depart- ment arrived, and the flames had even reached the telegraph poles, and scorched them badly, The loss to the printing company on stock will be total, probably involving $3,000. In- sured. The loss on the building which is owned by the Northwestern Insurance com- pany, will reach $2,000. Tho fire was confined to the part occupled by the printing company, but smoke and water reached the apartment occupied by the Columbia Clothing company, and their loss by smoke and water will be quite heavy. To cover this loss the Columbia Clothing company had $32,000 Insurance. The cause of this fire is not exactly known, but that it was set there can be not the slightest doubt. Chief Galligan and Fire Reporter Beard sald the moment they reached the bluck the smell of coal oll was detected and when they got to the bullding itself it was very stron, Chiet Galligan sald, when asked as to what he thought of the origin of the fire, ““That fire was set and I am as sure of 1t as I am that I am alive.” e Guod music, fne boating, Courtland beach.

Webher was convicted of bur- glary, but he will not be a stranger to the inmates of the strong house In Lincoln, as this will be the third time that he has been there, Webber was put on trial a few days ago and was convicted of having burglarized the residence of a Mr. Kdge, in Benson place.

BRETT ACQUITTED, rror In a Mortgage Quickly Ends the suit Againat H m, The case of the state against John M. Brett has been stricken from the dockets of the criminal court, the jury returning a verdict of not guilty. Some months ago Brett was arrested on a warrant issued upon an information sworn out by Berry Bros. & Co. of South Omaha, harging that he had obtained property of the value of $7,800, by reason of false repre- sentations. In fact the South Omaha people charged that Brett visited thelr place, tell- ing them that he had a lot of cattle in Cherry county, on which he wanted an ad- vance until the animals were fit for the mar- ket. The loan was made, but the clerk drawing up the mortgage failed or neglected to ingert that the cattle were on a ranch in Cherry county, Some time later a represen- tative of the South Omaha stock firm went up to Cherry county and there learned that Brett was not the owner of any cattle in that county. Upon his return Brett was arrested and bound over to appear at this term of the district cofirt. A couple of days ago the case was started, the state putting in its testimony, after which a brother-in-law of Brett went upon the stand and testified that the cattle described fn the mortgage were upon a ranch in Hall county, instead of in Cherry county. After listening to the tes- timony the jury found for the defendant, the costs being taxed to the county. 3 Life Insurance Suit. In the case of Maria Weiss, widow of Jacob Weiss, against the Independent Order of Treubund, wherein suit was brought for the recovery of $1,000, the amount of a life policy carried by the deceased, the defendant answered, denylng that the widow has a just and valid claim. In the answer the defend- ant alleges that in securing the risk the deceased represented that he was but 45 years of age, when, in fact, he was more than 49, an ago that would have barred him from participating in the benefits of the company had he made statements which were true. i Contestants Appeal. In the case of the contest of the will of the late Mary C. Ramacciottl the coutestants have appealed from. the decision of the pro- bate court, and have taken the case to the district court. By the terms of the will the property, aggregating some $30,000, was bequeathed to an adopted child, Relations of the dead woman contested,-alleging that at the time of exccuting the will Mrs. Ram- acciotti was not of sound mind. Yager.Gets No License. The legal end of the protest against the issuance of a saloon license to George Yager of Valley was argued. in the criminal sec- tion of the distmict court yesterday after- noon. The court held with the parties who protested, and the license was refused. In evidence it developed that during the past year Yager violated tne state keeping his salo n Sunday. Fred Baker was beforo the criminal sec- tion of the district court yesterday and was sentenced to 200 days in the county jail. Baker was originally charged with burglary and was tried upon that chage, but about the time of the completion of the trial, the county attorney concluded that he could not make his case, after which he agreed to ace cept a plea of petit larceny. ‘Was a Speclal Pollceman, A motion for a new trial has been argued in the case of the state against James Jane- schek.
