RAPID RISE IN REAL ESTATE
Fact - shown by Incrense In
Property Value of Fifty
Per Cent.

The rapid rise in the value of real estate
in Omaha is shown by a comparison of
the value of the thirty-three feet located
between Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets,
on Harvey, for $4,000, and the assessment
OF this property during the last two years.
In 1904 the assessment for the 1872 feet, of
which the thirty-three feet is q part, was
$4,000, which was an increase of almost
% per cent over the assessment of 1903.
AT the time of the increase Tax Commits
sioner Fleming thought he was making
the assessment too high, but Saturday
morning said he realized the assessment
was about so per cent too low, or that
values were increasing rapidly.

MIR. sCHWAB VISITS WHARTON.
Looks at the Blast Furnaces and Then Goes
TO the Enbernia Mines.

to the Enbernia Mines.
DOVER, Nj, June 2.-Charles M. Schwab,
the steel capitalist, visited yesterday the
blast furnaces at Wharton and the mines
at Hibernia. In company with his secre-
tary. Mr.. Wren, he came from New York
in an automobile and met Joseph Whar-
ton Of Philadelphia at the furnace offices
at Wharton. Together they inspected the
three big blast furnaces, two OF which are
the most modern In the country, having
been built within the last five years at q
cost Of more than a million dollars each.
Then they went over the Morris County Rail-
road, which is also owned byWharton, to Hi
hernia, where they visited the mines and the
ore crushing and separating plants. At 8
O'Clock Mr.. Sohwab, accompanied by Mr..
Wharton, returned to New York by auto
m obile.
II was rumored that Mr.. Schwab inspected
the mines and furnaces with an idea of
purchasing and erecting a large steel plant
at Wharton. but this story Is denied by
Edward Kelly, Mr.. Whartons general
mana ger, who says the visit was a mere
matter Of courtesy. The Wharton furnaces
have a capacity of 900 tons OF pig iron in
"a hours, and the ore used by the furnaces
Is secured almost entirely from Wharton 3
mines at Hibernia.
Within the past few years George j.
Gould has made several visits to the Whar-
ton furnaces and mines, with the idea, It u
said, Of inducing Mr.. Wharton to erect a
steel rail mill at Wharton.

Members Of the International Association
OF Machinists employed in the shops Of the
Erie Railroad received notice yesterday
that the company intends to introduce
piecework This will Affect about 1000
machinists In the shops, who for years
have been fighting against piecework.
The system has been introduced BY other
companies and resisted by the union.
An official Of the Erie Railroad, who was
seen at the offices Of the company, in Cort-
landt street, said that Notwithstanding the
opposition Of the unions the piecework
system produced the best results. He
added: |r-.'-
Nothing can stop the development of
machinery, and the machines do the work.
1t is q question OF using them to their full
capacity or only their partial capacity.
Under the piecework system the men
who work hardest earn the most. No one
can say that this is not the fairest way, and
there ia no desire on the part Of the COM
pany to diminish earnings
James Wilson. business agent Of the
Association OF Machinists. said last evening
that conferences we're going on between
representatives Of the company and the
union. The union wanted to avoid a
strike, he said, but was against piecswork
all the time.
"Piecework simply creates pacemakers,
he said, and an impossible standard is
fixed 1t is unfair to all but few men Of
exceptional speed and has never worked
satisfactorily The result Of piecework Ia
always to lower wages in the long rum"

Metropolitan Museum Directors Testify
That They Criticized the Biondi Group.


That They Criticized the Biondi Group.
The trial Of the suit brought by Ernesto
Biondi, the Italian sculptor, against the
Metropolitan Museum Of Art for an ac-

resumed yesterday before Supreme Court
Justice Leventritt.
Biondi alleges that he was severely dam
aged In his reputation as an artist because
the group was denounced as indecent,
although the late curator, Gen. Cesnola,
had approved It and had made a special
contract with Biondi's brother, Constan-
tine, for it's exhibition at the museum after
its removal from the Pan-American Expo
sition.

ing to exhibit the group In tho new east
wing.
Charles Stewart Smith. a director Of tho
museum. testified that he had examined
the group and had criticized it. He told
his wife. he said. that he did not think It
a proper subject for exhibition In a place
where young people of both sexes were
visitors. John Crosby Brown, also q
director and large donater to the mu-
scum, testified that he had expressed to
Gen. Cesnola an unfavorable opinion Of the
group. He was not permitted TO- tell what
that opinion was nor to define his objec-
tons to "Saturnalia."
Constantine Biondi was recalled and said
that since his brothers suit had been be-
gun the museum had offered to settle the
matter by paying 1000 and returning the
