GROTTE MOVES THE BUILDING
Finds Frame shack Too Far Over the
Line and Has il Moved
BncE.

Chief Clerk Grotte of tho city building
department did a little private police duty
Saturday and had a lively session. Grotte
happening TO stroll down Sixteenth street,
observed a frame shanty had been
dumped partly on the sidewalk and partly
on the vacant lot at the southwest corner
of Harvey street. The shack was in ac-
tive use by a Greek man with a corps of
Greek boys. all prepared to shine shoes.
Grotte bethought himself OF the ordinance
which forbids the erection of frame build
ings within the frame limits and notified
the Greek in charge that he would have
to move his business block. The G eek.
whose name is John Burbillious, exhibited
deficiency in the use OF English but pro-
tested he did not own the structure.
Grotte made tour among the fruit and
shoeshining men but could learn nothing
more as to the ownership He then called
in a policeman and the street cleaning de-
partment and had the shack picked up,
placed on a wagon and hauled to the city
tool yard Burbillious got a lawyer and
admitted he was the owner. but protests
were of no avail. License Inspector Sam
Scott also had a part in the comedy which
attracted good deal of attention from
bystanders and was prolonged several
hours.

KILLED BY YELLOW PRESS
Such is Frank L. 0ampbells View of John
A. McOall's Death.
LOCAL AGENT SAYS CHIEF WAS FOR OMAHA
Member of Omaha Club and Inter-
ested I'm Local Enterprises
and Charities to which
He Contributed.

The yellow journals OF the country killed
John A. Mccall, ex-president of the New
York Life Insurance company" said Frank
l.. Campbell, local representative OF the
company. Monday morning. Mr.. Mccall
was an honest man and died poor, and the
misstatements of the sensa tional papers,
which msquoted him in interviews and
used only that part of his testimony which
suited them in making sensational stories,
broke his heart"
In the death of John A. Mccall Omaha
has lost great admirer and a valued
friend. In his several visits to this city
he always spoke in highest praise and
confidence of the future greatness of
Omaha. Mr.. Mccall was personally &C.
quainted with many of our leading bust
ness and professional men and had the
greatest respect of all who knew him. For
many years he was a member of the
Omaha club and always made IL his head
quarters when in the city. As to Mr.. Nc
Calls confidence in and loyalty to our city,
II will be remembered he subscribed sew
eral thousand dollars to the Transmissis-
sippi exposition and the Young Mems
Christian association. He also subscribed
sum to the new hotel project, but owing to
later bylaw passed by the trustees
wherein no subscription for any purpose
whatever should In the future be made
the same was cancelled. The New York
Life in the erection OF its building at Sew
enteenth and Farnam streets did more for
the city THAI all the other life insurance
companies combined. When Mr.. Mccall
accepted the presidency of the New York
Life. in 1891. the company's assets amounted
TO s125, 200, 600. During the fourteen years OF
his incumbency this was increased TO siS5,-
900 and during the same period the an
nual income Increased from 81 100000 to
s102 0O0, 900 dividends from ST. $50 900 to So A.
00O' total payments of year TO policy hold
ers from 600 to S4O262,o 900 and insur-
ance in force from $50 900 900 to 50 O61 600 600
Mr.. Mccall was an ideal executive Of
ficer. but in always shouldering the mis-
takes and in assuming responsibilities and
even in standing sponsor for the mistakes
OF others he all the more became the
scrapegOat OF the yellow journals. These
latter are now forced to admit that his
frank and courageous testimony before the
investigating committee best paved the way
for institutlng necessary reforms. 1t goes
without saying that when the. history OF
| life insurance companies is written the
name OF John A. Mccall will be written in
| capital letters"
