Persons interested In the estate Of tho
late John A. Creighton declare there ara
no grounds for the rumor that an immedi-
ate attack is to be made By some OF the
heirs on the charity requests made by the
Will The movement for a settlement with
out a suit in court while not completed IL
said to be progressing. Nothing, II is as
serted, has occurred to justify the belief
that settlement is impossible or improb-
able.
At the same time It is admitted there is
a possibility of an attack upon the charity
requests, depending somewhat upon the
Interpretation Of clause thirteen of the will.
which provides the residue estate shall be
divided up In proportion to the amount Of
the requests provided for in the will
Whether the proportion OF each bequest
to the total of the requests or to the total
of the estate is intended has not been de-
oided yet In the latter case there would
remain a residue to the heirs which might
be satisfactory and prevent any litigation
Strong influences are being directed to
prevent taking the case into court. Those
Interested, 1t is said. are awaiting the
appraisal Of the estate which will be made
under the inheritance tax law by James Il

Farnam is the strategic street OF the city.
1t is thought by many that some day oath
and Farnam will rival 10th and Farnam as
a strategic business center. Logically.
eventually oath st. must be cut through
from north to south and the oath st. cars
run on this street to South Omaha. When
this is done property on Farnam near oath
will be worth more than double what It is
today.
We are today able to offer what We
think the most attractive investment in the
city, the Pollock block, situated on the
north side OF Farnam, 1872 feet east of Faith

FOR TINE BEING
INTERSTATE COMMERCE UNABLE
TO AGREE ON METHOD OF
ATTACK.
PUT It UP TO PRESIDENT
MUST DECIDE QUESTION OF
BRINGING CRIMINAL PROSE.
cUTIoN.

Washington, May 19.-The question
of bringing criminal prosecutions
agsihst E. II. Hartman, and suits to
dissolve the railroad combinations he
has effected must be decided by Presi.
dent Roosevelt. This is a matter in
which no subordinate will NEEDLE.
The resident must figure out his own
deductions and assume full RESPONSE
bility for the consequences.
Commission Divided.
The interstate commerce commits
sion is divided into two factions. One
believes that successful suits can be
maintained to break the Hartman
combinations under the Sherman anti
trust act, which might permit the sub.
sequent criminal prosecution of Mr..
Hartman. The other is convinced that
legal proceedings for the dissolution
of the combinations would prove an
tgnoble failure.
May Be Several Opinions.
The interstate commerce commits

clusions and recommendations. There
may be several sets of views. Those
must all be sifted down and analysed
by the department OF justice officials
before they can render the president
any assistance in deciding what char
acter OF action shall be taken against
Mr.. Hartman.
Afraid Of Panic.
The president is regarded as being
Just a trif1e lukewarm on the subject
of prosecuting Mr.. Hartman and his
associates. He is apprehensivc that
business will be disturbed and panics
may follow. He is anxious that there
shall be no diminution of prosperity
during his term of Office. He wants to
ascertain the approximate cost of
seeking to break up the Hartman
combinations before taking final steps
in that direction. Ii it is apparent
that too much of an upheaval will he
caused in financial circles he will de-
fer action until such time as he be-
lieves the country can stand a sharp
shock without disastrous panic. 1t
was with this end in view that the
president arranged to hold off prose.
