LOUIS HARRIS WINS CASE Court Says Po He 1s Entitled to the fon of the Capitol Avenue Property, Judge Vinsonhaler has ordered judgment for the plaintiff in the forcible entry and detainer proceedings of Louis Harris | against Parke Godwin and Charles Brown, | lessees ot lots 7 and § In block 70, the same | being on the north side of Capitol avenue between Ninth and Tenth streets. In his bill of particulars Harris alleged that God- win had leased from Henry D. Estabrook with the understanding that such lease should be terminated by any failure to pay the rent of $100 per month in advance, that on October 28 last he bought the prop- erty and an November 10 notified Godwin, who had failed to pay the rent for Novem- ber, to vacate, but that Godwin had re- fused so to do or to pay the rent. On the stand Harris testified that he bought the premises through the Byron Reed company for $9,000, paying $1,000 in cash and giving & mortgage to secure the rest, which he is to pay in installments. It is sald, however, that he assumed with the purchase an im- mense tax indebtedness upon the premises. VERDICT FOR FIFTY DOLLARS Harry Crocker Gets Judgment for Only Small Part of Amount Clatmed. After three days In court, nine days in & hospital and as many days in Omaha as he could spare from his large and thriving business Interests in Randolph, Ia., Harry Crocker has secured from a jury in Judge Slabsugh’s court a judgment against the city of Omaha for Injuries alleged to have been received June 21, 1901, at a point between his right groin and the rough paving on North Sixteenth street. The judgment 1s for $50, which is one one- hundredth of the amount sued for and just about enough to pay his court costs exclusive of the fee of Counsel I. R. An- drews. It was Crocker who, when on the stand, had such difficulty in designating his resi- dence and the jury apparently took some stock in City Attorney Conuell's open charges that Crocker was no George Washington in the matter of veracity. Deputy County Attorney I. J. Dunn is now considering the evidence in the case to de- termine if it be well to prosecute Crocker for illegal registration and voting at the last ectiol Known World Uver.

EXPLAINS DETAILS OF THE ENTERPRISE President Harrison Belleves Matter Should Receive Popular Consider- ation—Vote of Thanks to Mr. Rosewater by Exchange. At the meeting of the Real Estate ex- change yesterday Andrew Rosewater spoke of his plan for canal and electrical power. He sald that he came in response to an attempt to prejudice his plan before the people; that the ordinance and plan will be published and the whole matter will be presented at a public meeting to be held in the council chamber Monday. He said that cheap power could be supplied here to support a community of 500,000 people; that he had examined all plans and saw that they could not be carried out unless the company is given a franchise as good as those held by the companies already here; that for this franchise he purposes to pa; §5,000 the first year, increasing by $1,000 a year until $10,000 {s reached, at which it will remain a while, and then be $15,000 per vear. The rates proposed are one-third of the existing rates. The citizens cannot | grant an exclusive franchise and mo ex | clusive franchise is desired. ‘The people who have a franchise want to exclude all others, while I want them all to come. Within & few years you will have use for more power than can be cre- ated by the first plant if you but get the first plant. Electrical power s cheaper than steam power because it is shut off when machines are not running. w Help Real Estate, “If this plant is developed it will advance the price of real estate materially. Aside from $15,000 paid to the city the amount of lights can be doubled with little addi- tional cost, to say nothing of the saving on private lighting. The Commercial club and other organizations favored paying a bonus of $1,000,000 for something which will now be given tree. I have worked for ten years on this matter and have never decried any scheme while pushing my own. The very fact that the Thomson-Huston company is fighting the plan shows that it fears it. It the councllmen who oppose my plan are honest why do not they reduce the present charges by ordinance?” Mr. Rosewater's remarks were reeeived with applause and President Harrison said that he belieyed the matter should be sub- mitted to the people, and & vote of thanks was extended to Mr. Rosewater. W. H. Greeu moved that a comittée be appointed to represent the exchange before the legislature in all matters affecting the city. The committee appointed was: W. H. Green, W. L. Selby, J. B. Piper, T. A. Creigh and J. W. Lytle. As to State Conventiom. J. F. Hanson of Fremont, secretary of the Nebraska Real Estate assoclation, made a short address in which he gave a report of his work with reference to the state con- vention to be held at Omaha December 17- 19. The formal call has been issued. Com- mercial clubs and business associations have been lnvited to send two delegaf one to be a real estate dealer. The pro- gram is almost completed and soon will be in the hands of the printers. The state has been arbitrarily divided into nine districts and reports of real te situations will be received from each district. President Har- rison of the Omaha exchange is to report on Omaha conditions in his address of wel- come. H. H. Wilson of Lincoln, Homer Hanson of Columbus and H. Slater of Co- lumbus will represent those sections. Irriga- tion will be the theme discussed the second day, with reperts from different parts of the state. Cyrus B.

Yesterday & tract of ground, ninety feet front on Farnam street by 133 feet on Nineteenth street, on the southwest corner, was sold at‘partition sale for the sum of $17,900. The land was owned by Dr, Aub of Ciuncionat! and on it is & two-story brick house. It s below the grade of the street and the improvements are old. Taking the character of the land and the nature of the improvements into consideration, real es- tate dealers say that, at forced sale, the consideration was satisfactory, but that as & general proposition $200 a front foot on Farnam street in that neighborhood wopld be very low. Mrs. Aub was offered $16,000 for the land a few weeks ago, but refused to entertaln the offer and it ia understood that she will hold it as an investment.
