an abortive attempt was made az the
last meeting OF the Omaha Real Estate ex-
change TO have the exchange commit Itself
Is 10 It's stand on the scavenger tax law,
az 20 whether. endorsement OF this widely
advertised measure should be given. The
question was sidetracked. however, for the
time being, but Il stu remains a crucial
question to be determined by many real es-
tate brokers and others with reference TO
the future sale OF land acquired under the
provisions Of the scavenger law. Suit was
fled in the district court last week TO make
a test case Of one provision Of the law. and
other suits will be filed IN order 20 obtain
anal ajudfcatlon OF the points under dis
pute by the highest tribunal.
Omaha daily bee., 1907-05-12

Opinion Of lawyers versed IN the scaven-
ger law have been most conflicting in many
cases as TO whether property acquired I'M
der the law can be sold within Eve years
with any degree OF safety TO the purchaser.
Some lawyers are OF the opinion that a
good title is secured BY tar deed from the
county treasurer, providing the proceed
ings to that point have been entirely regu-
lar and in full compliance with the terms
of the scavenger law, while other attorneys
20 whom tax deeds have been submitted
for examination have refused TO pass on
the title OF the property and thus caused
contemplated sales to fall through Sec
ton ls Of the law negatively provides that
the owner Of confiscated land under the
scavenger law can bring suit within five
years from the date OF its sale and recover
possession after paying all taxes and ac-
crued costs. This provision has given an
impression that tax titles are practically
valueless as to ENTHUSIASTICALLY until after
the expiration of the five-year period, and
Spectators in property of this class regard
the outcome of the test suits to be brought
with much apprehension.

Another addition to which extensive i'm
provements are being made is Home Place,
which is a large tract OF ground extending
from sixteenth to Eighteenth street west
of the Sherman apartments. This property

With the intention OF establishing a large
lumber yard in the north part OF the city,
George w. Piattner of the II. f. Cady
Lumber company has bought sixteen lots
fronting on the Belt line at Twenty-fourth
and Boyd streets for Approximately $4,000.
The tract has trackage on the Belt line
from Twenty fourth TO Twenty-sLNth street,
opposite the large lumber yards OF the
Sunderland Co., and win be completely
enclosed. as an ordinance has been PASSED
by the city council closing all streets and
alleys terminating In the site. The lots
have been quietly accumulated by Mr..
Plattner from time 70 time during the last
year. and will form an extensive addition
to the present yards OF the Cady company
on lower Douglas street. II Is the inten-
ton OF the lumber company to establish
the new yards this fall or next spring 70
save the expense OF hauling lumber from
the present yards TO the northwest where

The pre-eminence OF omaha as essentially
A city Of homes is being materially en-
HANGED every week by the grading, plat
ting and placing on the market of new resi-
dence subdivisions In every part Of the city
and real estate brokers are meeting with
unusual success in the sale Of the new
lots Large tracts of land, which were
owned for many years past by pioneer citi-
gems OF Omaha, have been bought up by
progressive and optimistic citizens and
placed on the market after material Inn
provements, such sewers permanent
walks and water pipes have been laid and
the streets paved. This movement OF ex-
pansion is patent in all parts of the city,
from the outskirts Of Dundee, Benson and
FLORENCE 70 the South Omaha city line.
The new subdivisions have, apparently, met
with ready sale as Is evidenced by the
many new homes being built this spring.
Home building appears to be more active
at present in the north part of the city,
but a peculiar phase OF the real estate
situation Is that the demand for all kinds
OF residence property, outside and inside.
appears to be greater this spring than in
previous years The densely populated sec
siOns Of the city are attracting the atten-
ton OF investors and home buyers as much
as the more remote residence localities.
While Omaha investors are showing their
faith In the future of the city's real estate
by extending their investments OF this
character, one OF the features OF the bust
ness this spring has been the influx OF
much outside capital. Many capitalists OF
Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado. Iowa and
even more distant states have made heavy
purchases of real estate after inspection
OF real estate in other cities. Some OF
the outside buyers intend to remove tc
Omaha 10 make their permanent residence
10 look after their investments and to make
others.

A belated spring has delayed activity In
Omaha real estate. but the last ten days
Of warmer weather has caused much more
Interest to be manifest in real estate circles,
and inquiries and sales have been OF UNI
usually large number Many brokers have
complained that the backward and cold
apring has caused serious results TO the
real estate business and for two weeks IN
April business was almost stagnant. Pro.
Bpective buyers have been retarded in In.
Bpecting property because OF disagreeablS
weather. as was expected, and the market
was dun until the last two weeks, since
when It has been very active. Many per.
sons interested IN real estate took advantage
% the mild weather conditions prevailing
last Sunday and were out in force on In,
spsotion trips all over the city, with tbs
result that many sales have been reported
curing the last week.

Excavnting for the new brick fats to
be erected at Thirty-third and IGarney
streets by Ernest Sweet was begun last
week and the work Of construction will
be pushed as rapidly as possible, as con-
tracts have been let for the construction
work. The new fats being erected by
Mr.. Sweet at Twenty-fourth avenue and
Harvey streets are progressing rapidly and
win be finished and ready for occupancy
within a short time
Omaha daily bee., 1907-05-12

The double brick fats near Thirty-second
street and Poppleton avenue and the new
brick fats at Twenty.eighth and California
streets have been sold for w. B. Homan
by Robinson & Wolf to Henry vangrowich
for $l65OO. Mr.. vangrowlch has made ex-
tenslve investments in Omaha real estate
and bought the flats for investment. Mr..
Homan bought the large vacant lot at the
southwest corner OF Twenty-frst and How
ard streets for $1,000 and win erect a row
Of modern brick houses this spring.

Owing to the great demand for small
homes A. p. Turkey & Son bought nine cot
tages on Twenty-seoond street comprising
the entire block from Pierce to Pacific
street. from Russell & MoKitrick for about
$4,000 and placed them on the market
for immediate sale, with the result that
one OF the houses was sold Immediately
following its advertisement in The Bee. The
cottages contain about five rooms each and
will no doubt meet with ready sale, as the
demand for this class of dwellings has been
unprecedented this spring
Omaha daily bee., 1907-05-12


the day OF the week when people have
leisure to inspect property with view TO
possible purchase and the habit of Sunday
real estate inspection is growing The real
estate brokers are responding 10 changed
conditions by having a number OF their
employees stationed at sites under their con-
troll 20 show visitors over the property.
This IS particularly true OF suburban sub
divisions where several real estate dealers
have provided for the entertainment OF
their guests and rapid view of the property
by placing automobiles or carriages at the
disposal OF their visitors
There has been strong demand for resi-
dence property tkis spring IN the south
western section OF the city and numerous
sales OF houses and lots in that section
were made during the last week. e. W

CRIMINAL PROCEDURE.
Much Need of Radical Change in Several
Respects.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: I want most heartily To indorse your two
editorials OF to-day IN the Thaw
have long felt that Complementary regarded.
criminal procedure is in respects itself almost
criminal and a reproach 10 courts and the
bar. The disbarment some time since Of no
torious criminal lawyer was an encouraging thing;
but # was only exercise OF discipline when
much Of the common procedure is faulty. There is:
(a) The administration TO suspected criminals of
1.-The third degree" What is the third degree
bat an euphemstic term for the modern substitute
for ancient torture? Has any official right to ad
minister it? Put the question in plain Anglo
saXon-TIas any official right 10 torture pris-
oner? and who will answer yes?
90 There Is the examination of witnesses. Theo-
reticaly the purpose is to ascertain the facts in
the case. Practically the purpose often seems 10
be so TO confuse the witness that ne cannot tell
what the facts
fc) The Rules OF Evidence are supposed to be
framed for the purpose OF securing all available
valid evidence and only such. But in this case
they seem 20 have wrought stO the exclusion of
valuable evidence having a direct bearing on the
case But after all what are the Rules Of Evil
dence'? Who enacted them? What is the author
fly behind them? Professor Robertson, in his ar
tice on evidence IN the Encyclopedia Britain
MICA" says: The English law of evidence is per-
haps the most perfect example We possess of what
Benthuen calls judge-made law II il be Judge
should not a judge admit testlmony pertinent 10
a even though by current technical rules OF
faulty rules OF evidence to be corrected?
"a, There IS the introduction Of expert testimony

weight with jures and as prevention II is becon-
ing a reproach TO the professions from which the
a-1erts Come IL expert testimony is at ali 10 he
irtrTodr1ced why not let the experts oe summoned
ana damned exclusively by the court itself
ie) Then there is the license Of pleaders al the

sboi,ld be placed upon this. OF course these evils
DO not always manifest themselves I'm all our
criminal trials. but in many of them some or ali
~ them do II has long seemed ne that oIir

strenuously than they seem to be doing 10 cor
