It’s Correct. | States penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., upon conviction of fraud in connec- tion with harbor improvements, etc., at Savannah, Ga. | Mr. Richards says that the investigations of the government reveal the loss of an | aggregate of $2,169 through Carter's | operations, of which he (Carter) received |one-third with traveling expenses added. In | view of these facts, Mr. Richards asks: “Is | it any wonder that Carter wants to get out |on bail? Is it any wonder that he desires |to be put in a position where he can per- handle the sinews of war, which he | obtained by fraud from the government that | educated him and gave him his standing and reputation? What bail could the court fix that would be sufficient in his case, 1f he has sent his securities out of the coun- try and made up his mind that the best thing he could do would be to follow them?" POWERS REDUCING CLAIMS Disposition Shown to Cut Down Various Indemnities Demanded of Chin WASHINGTON, April 16.—~Notwithstand- ing the reports from Pekin of the slow progress of the negotiatious there on the subject of Indemnity the officials here are not without hope that a way may be found out of the-present complications. Later figures are coming in respecting the indemnity clalms which slightly modity these claims, as reported from othcr sources. For instance, the French claim 1s now given as $56,000,000, instead of $55,000,- 000. The Russian claim is about $87,000,000 and that of Great Britaln about The Japanese claim also hag/been cut down to less than $20,000,000.

HAD REJECTED HER PROFFERED REWARD Grateful Mra. Fairfax De- clines to Forget His Chivalry, DAYTON, 0., April 16.—Henry H. Haw- thorn, one in the invalid soldiers in the Soldiers’ home here, has just received no- tice that he has been made beneficiary to the amount of from $200,000 to $300,000 by a woman out of gratitude for having saved her life many years ago. The woman is Mrs. Josephine Fairfax, who recently died in the south of France. Hawthorn was born in England and came Transfers of nearly a dozen lots, Involving half that number of separate transactions, on or adjoining Sixteenth street and be- tween Farnam and Leavenworth, announccd Quring last week, have created a great stir in Omaha real estate circles. Although many of the agents had known in a geueral way that “something was going on” for a week or more before the sales were made public there were few who were not a bit startled by the announcements made in The Bec Saturday evening. Five or six weeks of hard work had been put into the three connected deals fore any part of any one of them could be safely made public without injuring the success of the others. As a matter of fact one of the deeds was only signed about three hours be- fore the evening papers gave the detalls of the several transactions. This deed cov- ered the transfer of the two lots on the northeast corner of Sixteenth and Howard The comment among real estate men 15 the expression of the one sentiment that the bullding of three large business blocks— amoug the largest mercantile blocks in the city—will be the leading event of the year in relation to realty. It Is pointed out that for a year or two past the big transactions have been the buying of sites and the erec- tion of up-to-date structures for leading jobbing and wholesale Interests, while this year attention has been directed to retail business. The conversion of that portion of Sixteenth street which has up to quite re- cently contained the homes of four of Omaha's oldest citizens into the center of what is generally thought will be a leading retail district is looked upon as a land- mark in the growth of the city. For some years past the conviction has been grow- Ing that the tendency of the business sec- tion was to branch out in this direction, the rapid growth of South Omaha being a factor which helped forward this result. Real es- tate men now say that the need of larger and better quarters by leading business houses of Omaha was the maln factor that led to the successful accomplishment of what bas recently been negotiated by George & Co. and the Wyman-Shriver company For the Department Store, Up to the present the deeds have only been recorded in the sale of two lots, among all those referred to above. One of these is the northeast corner of Sevemteenth and Howard, comveyed by to the United States when a boy. Later he went to England on a visit. While at Kent bathing in the sea he saw a woman and her son in a boat, which capsized. Hawthorn being an expert swimmer, suce ceeded in rescuing the woman, but the son was drowned. He returned to the United States and served in the army during the civil war. A few years Fairfax in England refused a reward which sbe urged him to take.

PHILADELPHIA, April 16.—It has prac- tically been decided by the Cramps Ship- building company to launch the United States battleship Maine on Memorial day. Survivors of the original Maine and widows of sallors killed in Havana barbor will probably be invited to attend the launching. Mutual Life Insurance company to Samucl Reynolds, manager of the W. R. Benuett company. The consideration for this was $10,000, with a mortgage given back for §7.- 500. This is the lot on which it is intended to erect the stable which 18 to house the delivery wagons by night and the customers’ teams by day. The Harney street lots on which the Bennett store bullding is to stand are at the opposite corner of this block and will be separated by twenty-two feet along the alley. In order that connection may be had between the stable and the store a portion of the east wall of the Boyd theater bullding will be cut away With regard to the price of the Harney street lots, it is figured at a little over $1,136 per foot from the Sixteenth street frontage. Higher prices than this have been paid for Omaha business corners, and this reckoning, too, gives a great depth. The total of $150,000, however, gives to John L. Welsh of Philadeiphia, who bought the property from General Lowe a year or two ago for $130,000, a satistacfory profit on his investment. Mr, Welsh, it will be remeni- bered, paid a large part of his purchase price in East Omaba stock, over which General Lowe subsequently brought suit 1t Is expected that the building on this site will be one of the first to be started although as yet no plans have been pre- pared. Mr. Bennett on Monday night met with nearly twenty of the leading architects of the city and several of them will submit drafts of what they consider will suit his requirements. The articles of Incorporation of the Ben- nett Building company were filed yesterday with the names of §. F. Benvett, W. R. Bennett and F. W. Brown as incorporators. The capital stock authorized is $400,000 The northeast corner of Sixteenth and Howard, which was sold by Charles Tur- ner and wife to a syndicate for whom Frank H. Gaines holds the title as trustee, went for $75,000, which as already pointed out, Js Just cne hundred times the amount pald for the ground in 1859, when Mr. Turner bought it for a home. It is estimated that it Mr. Turner had drawn 6 per cent in- tercst all these forty-two years and had compounded the interest, the $750 of his original investment would have grown to but §9,500. One well known agent in speak- Ing of this great increase in vilue asked “Is It wot likely that the growih of Omaha | Is Thirty Miles South of Chicago and Will HBe Completed by Sature day—New Orleans Next Stop.

M. Morsman and Guy Bar- ton last year, has now been transferred to parties whose names are kept a close se- cret. On this account some question has been raised as to the genuineness of the sale, It is positively known, however, that a large sum of money has been paid over and that the deed is signed and held in escrow pending the consummation of certain negotlations. It is understood that it is out-of-town money that has bought this site and will erect the building which is to stand upon it Tiae syndicate which has bought the Tur- ner corner, on the other hand, consists, so it is believed, of a half-dozen young and ng business men of Omaha, who ble to find the money for the build- ing also.
