Arrangements for the national convention of the United States League of Local Loan and bullding associations, which will be held in Cleveland the last week in July, are nearly complete. The convention will last several days, as an extensive program ls being pre- pared. The Nebraska league has received an invitation to contribute to the program, but 1o actlon has yet been taken. The league wiil be represented, however. In addition to the business features of the convention will be excursions to various points on Lake Erie and the generous hospitality for which Cleve- land is no Michigan has the doubtful distinction of being one of the few &tates in the union with- out legal restriction of building and loan asso- clations, An attempt was made to remedy the defect during the session of the legislature now closing, but the measure failed. Legiti mate a. soclat'ons pointed out the necessity for regulation and examination by the state as a ans of strengthening and safeguarding a itorfous movement, and preventing its popularity being employed as a cloak for reck- lessness and robbery. A bill providing for state examination when fraud was charged was introdu The measure did not touch the evils sought to be remelied, be!ng founded on the absurd policy of locking the stable after the horse is stolen. Advocates of genu- ine regulation struggled in vain to amend it, but were outvoted at every point, and event- ually the bill was killed. Commenting on the t of the bill, the Detroit Free Press de- clares that the legislature was so absorbed In carrying out the behests of the lobby that it had no time to devote to the interests of the public. The result is that Michigan re- mains an Inviting fleld for every species of speculative financlering masquerading as building and loan associations. The recelpts of the Omaha for April, amounting to $7,663, were the highest in the history of the parent association of this city. Despite the prevalent business depression the Omaha is steadily gaining in membership, yet its receipts do not equal the demands of bor- rowers, Four hundred shares of stock were rep- resented at the annual meeting of the Chad- ron (Neb) assoclation. The officers chosen are: Robert Hood, president; C. H. Lutz, vice president; J. L. Paul, secretary; B. L. Scoville, treasurer; directors, F. M. Merritt, B. F. Pitman, A, C. Putnam, C. E. Foster, C. D. Johnston, O. K. Eastman and B. B. Davis. At the annual meeting of the Broken Bow (Ncb,) assoclation the following officers were elected: President, W. J. Woods; vice presi- dent, G. W. Apple; sccretary, W. W. Hol- nb; treasurer, Fred Bartlett; directo George Apple, Charles Gutterson, Fred Bart- lett, John Squires and W. J. Woods. The Importance of strictly confining build- ing and loan associations to their legitimate functions was emphasized in the legislature of Pennsylvania. That state, the parent of the co-operative movement in the United States, has hedged them with a comprehen- sive code of laws calculated to protect the interests of shareholders and at the same time foster their growth within well defined lines. The encouragement and protection thus afforded has enabled the 1,100 associa- tions of the state to accumulate assets aggre- gating $100,000,000 and to aid in the procure- ment of 20,000 homes for members. The marvelous success fllustAted by these fig- ures would be sufficient inducement to the average man to “let well enough alone.” But there is an element which chafes under ordinary restraints, which seeks to “‘get rich quick” by overleaping the bounds of legiti- mate co-operation and plunging into lines of business wholly distinct from co-operative principles. This element sought to add bank- ing privileges to those granted associations by the state, and a bill for that purpose was introduced in the legislature, The State league oppoied the measure from start to finish, and warned the legislature that the proposed privilege was not sought by the associations, and was fraught with grave dan- ger to the thrifty home buflders of the state. “It has been our proud boast,” sald an op- ponent of the bill, “that building associations were the poor man’s inyestment company. It has been our boast that wealthy specu- lators had no place in them. That the pa inent of small sums monthly was extremely beneficial and encouraging to the working man, but oftergd no inducement whatever to the wealthy. Now, after a successful career of over forty years, it is proposed to change all this and open the doors and enforce legis- lation entirely tpeculative in its character. Under the guise of a building and loan asso- clation certain gentlemen propose to, and bave already organized corporations, that, if given the power asked for, would revolution- ize the time honored simple system of building asscciations. A gentleman who is a member of the tax conference of Pennsyl- nia, and who has studied the building as:o- em in all parts of the state, said to me a few days ago that building societies as conducted upon their original principles had always appeared to him as the highest and best form of co-operation among the workingmen, but when extra powers were glven them, such as were being asked for and practised by some assoclations in the state, then they lost their distinctively co- operative feature, and should be taxed and treated precisely as other corporations.” The sharp and signal defeat of the measure is an instructive lesson. The state in which co-operative home building has reached the highest development, in assets, membership and results achieved, adheres strictly to the principles of the founders, discarding the frills and catch-penny schemes of financial adventurers. — In the Smoking Room.

JENKINS MAKES BITTER COMPLAINTS Led to Suspect the Rellability of Certaln Members und Accuses Chuirman of Lack of Brains—Seated to Kecover Temper—Reward for Lauder. E. D. Van Court & Co.'s claim against the county, together with interest and the 20 per cent reserve held back by the county as assurance that the west macadamized roadway would be bullt as specified, now amounting to $11,725.94, will go into the hands of arbitrators for adjustment. This conclusion of affairs was reached after the county commissioners had fought yesterday over the question in executive session. Previous to coming to this conclusion the board held a regular business session resem- bling a war congress far more than an or- dinary meeting of county officlals, Commis- sloner Jenkins made a demand on the roads committee to report on Van Court's claim In the run of motions and counter motions which followed the board scon had a good sized wrangle on its hands. Commissioner Jenkins told Chairman Williams that he haa not brains enough to explain why one of the motions he had made was out of order, and the chairman in the excitement of rapping the board to order cracked his gavel. The trouble started when Livesey, chair- man of the roads committee, stated that he had a report on the Van Court claim all pre- pared, but the other members of the commit- tee refused to sign it. He wanted time to see 1t the difficulty could not be adjusted. Jenkins made a motion to take the papers out of the hands of the road committee. Sul- ton announced his readiness to grapple with the question and seconded the motion of Jen- Kins. Livesey wanted the committee of the whole to consider the question and Sutton seconded a motion to that effect. JENKINS SNIFFED MISCHIEF. Jenkins wanted to know what in the name of justice was being done. He declared that there was a sinister purpose embodied in the attempt to delay report on the claim. He said it had now taken the road committee six months to do what a school boy could have accomplished In a week, and the whole subject had become a farce of the largest magnitude. Livesey announced that the sub- ject should be treated in a more moderate manner, and Stenberg hoped the affair could be adjusted without bluster. He made a point that the motions were all out of order, where- upon Sutton offered a substitute to the effcet that the subject be at once dealt with in committee of the whole. This was the occasion for remarks by Jen- kins, who called attention to promises he had carried in his vest pocket for two weeks that the affair would be adjusted one way or the other, and he stated that he had ben fooled and had lost confidence in the relia- bility of certain members. Chairman Will- fams ruled his remarks out of order because they were not germane to the qucstion, at which point Jenkins, in the excitement of the moment, made his remarks regarding Williams' lack of brains. The atmosphere grew thick with sulphur for a few moments, but when the chalrman had finished pounding his desk he told Jen- kins that he must take his seat and learn to control his temper, as his objections were a source of obstruction. The force of the en- counter having spent itself, the board went into executive session with E. D. Van Court and Henry Bolln and agreed to appoint one arbitrator, B. D. Van Gourt & Co. to appoint another and these twe to salect a third man. The history of the difficulties which have been experienced in building this road have from time to time been given heretofore. Aside from certain admitted claims relating to actual work done there are a large number of items for extras for which Van Court asks pay, such as sprinkling the road and the like REWARD FOR LAUDER OFFERED. Sitting in open business session the board determined to reconsider its action in refer- ence to the change of assessment- upon the Midland hotel, which Callahan asked to have altered from $10,000 to $6,500, the amount of sment for the year previous. Livesey, who voted for the allowanc: of the change, moved a reconsideration and the motion car: ried, though not with the best of fecling The resolution of Williams calling for a removal of the telephone and telegraph poles from the county roads where they extend more than six feet into the streets was re- ported on favorably and carrted. Jenkins and Sutton voted adversely, explaining that it would get the county into law suits. An ofter of a reward of $200 was agreed on for the capture of Abraham W. Lauder, regarding whose alleged assault case and the proposed offering of a reward mention was made a few days ago. A resolution to dispense with the services of Inspector J. W. Furnass was offered and went over under the rules. Frank E. Moores mads an offer to submit a test case to the judges regarding the ques- tion of fees so far as there is a controversy between himeelf and the county. Referred. As the assessment books will soon be in, Clerk Sackett was authorized to secure fiye additional assistants® until- October.

The class day exercises at the Lake school were held last Friday afternoon and were at- tended by many of the parents of the grad- uating class. The program was unusually interesting, and was taken part in by pup’ls of the Lake and High schools, with others assisting. Miss Williams played a very difficult num- ber upen the piano, with so much effect that she was compelled to respond with an en core. A n'w song, “The King's Own," was sung by Miss Fannfe Arnold, in a manner that completely captivated the listeners, She afterward responded with an encore, singing a dainty little child’s song. Miss Ruth Cobb a chanming young elocutionist, delighted the pupils and others with a ricitation, after which Chester ranklin of the High school | extended the address of welcome to the mem bers of the graduating class, It was so hear.y and cordial, 8o full of good advice that each member of the class felt an increased desire to gain admission to the school of which Mr. Franklin is a member. The Mandolin and Guitar club, under the leadership of Mr. Potter, played some delight- ful music. To a march, played by the club, the 800 pupils formed in the corridors and marched out of the bullding in their usual military style. EIE GG 6L EN NI IS R Mrs. B, C. Moses.

Two Sons Settle with Their Brother to Save the Futher Aunoyance, SAN FRANCISCO, May 18.—Claus Spreck- els, the sugar king, accompanied by his wife and daughter, left for New York last night on their way to Burope. Before departure Spreckels confessed judgment in the suit for slander brought against him by his son, C. A Spreckels, who asked for $300,000 damages The reason given for this action Is that Spreckels, sr., received Information that his son would seek to prevent his departure for Burope. Accordingly, the loyal sons, Jobn D. and A. B. Spreckels, in order to ve thelr father further annoyance, in- structed the attornéys in the case to confess Judgment, and end the matter for the pres- ent. But Claus Spreckels will not admit that he has confessed judgment in a moral sense; s0 he has instructed his attorneys to begin suit for an accounting against C. A. Spreck- to compel him to make an accounting of all the money he has handled for his father. The attorneys have also been ordcred bring suit against Rudolph Spreckels, who takes sides with his brother in the quarrel with their father, to recover $500,000 worth of stock of the Paluhuau Plantation com- pany, which Rudolph claims his father gave him 'in 1893, and from which he is now drawing $5,000 a month dividends, which, it is alleged, he is using to supply the sinews of war against his father. The trouble in the Spreckels family com- menced over a year ago, when C. A, Spreck- els sued his father to recover stock in the Hawaiian Commercial company. This suit was compromised, and then Rudolph followed with a suit to prevent the transfer of $700, 000 worth of stock held by Claus Spreck as security, to the Nevada bank. The son then brought suit against the Oceanic Steam- ship company, in which he alleges that he was being frozen out. Finally C. A. Spreckels sued his father for slander on account of a newspaper interview, in which the father said his son had wasted his money and would soon be bankrupt. A VE-C Plunged Wildly Upand:Down at Chicago- Wheat Cardied Up with It. CHICAGO, May 18.—The corn market fur- nished a sensation on the Board of Trade today, theymarket plunging wildly back and forth between 51% and 561% cents. The ex- citement resulted from the cold wave scare and as many traders are heavily short fluctuations were frequent and sharp. July options opened at 51% cents, a trifle under last night's close, and were weak for a time, owing to heavy receipts. The weather predictions promised much lower temp r_ture, however, and about the middle of the session the price started up at a wild pace. Traders who were short tried to cover their lines and in a short time July struck 561 cents, Heavy takings of profite gent prices back and at the close July was at 5314 cents, Wheat was tame and weak until corn be- gan its climb, but was dragged up by the advance in _ma'ze, closing 1% cents higher for July at 71% cents . edar Raplds Will Keep the Headganrters.

As herctofore stated in The Bee, this year's season of those well-liked festivities will be opened by the Plattdeutsche Verein. This organization is numerically only second to the Turnverein, and noted to be a society in ex- cellent financial standing. The festival in view is set for Sunday, June 2, at Ruser's park, in conjunction with the opening of that popular resort. The buildings were destroyed by fire last fall, and have been replaced by Mr. Riser with new and handsome structures of steel and brick. Mr. Ruser being a Plattdeutscher, he has made arrangements that to the verein falls the honor of first oc- cupying this place of amusement after its restoration. The entertainment proposed Is the traditional Pfingstfest, or in English, Pen- tecost Sunday celebration. The arrangement of the details is in the hands of a committee consisting of the president of the verein, Henry Rohlff, and Messrs, Henry Anderson, Willlam Gloe and Henry Bichel, and the pro- gram Includes a great number of plays and amusements of all kinds. Splendid prizes will be given to the winners. The verein has invited all German societies of Omaha and vicinity, and the German popu- lation in general, to take part at this vo'ks fest. Arrangements are made with the Mis- sourl Pacific railway to bring out the guests. A special train leaves the Webster street de pot at 1 o'clock p. m., that day, and returns from the picnic place at 11 p. m.

TACOMA, Wash., May Grain men hero says that the English ship owners have cor- nered the wheat ships of the Pacific coast, and they connect the Fair wheat of S8an Francisco with the deal. “There is a scheme to hold wheat ships In port,” sald Phil R. Shaw of the Western ain company today, “until charters are run up to an outrageous figure, and then got the Falr wheat to load at fancy prices. We on the Pacific coast are at the mercy of the English barons, who cornered the ships &t San Francisco and on Puget Sound, besides buying up all the English bottoms headed this way. “‘After they had done that they put up the price of charters from 25 shillings to from 35 to 87 shillings. This is equivalent to an ad- vance of 12 cents on the price of wheat; but while these great advances have been made in the price of charters, our wheat has in- creased only about 3 cents per bushel. “In Chicago and Liverpool the price of wheat has advanced from 15 to 18 cents per bushel. So it will be seen that simply on account of this corner on quarters on this coast, with Its headquarters in San Francisco, the managers of the corner propose to rake oft all the benefits to be derived from the advance in wheat. They propose to make a profit of from 12 to 15 cents per bushel on the advance, while the wheat raiger and dealer 18 to get but 2 or 3 cents per bushel. “I have already advised my clients to get together and arrange at once with the rail- roads to give a reasonable rate on wheat shipments by rail to Chicago. If this is done it will break the back of the corner on ships. As it is, we are bound hand and foct, and are at the mercy of a lot of English ship- owners, who have clubbed together to take advantage of the advance in the price of wheat.” “Jewel” Gasolene Stoves Ave easily the leading stoves of the day.
