CoHN BUILDING A GIBRALTAR
Proposed Hotel win he Model In
Point OF strength aud
stability.

The report which gained publicity yes
terday to the effect that building permit
had been denied for the Cohn hotel struo-
ture to be erected on Sixteen street proves
to be incorrect for the simple reason that
no application has been made for a permit,
John Latenser
This report conveyed the impression that
according to the statement OF Architect
the National Fireproohng company which
hns the contrat OF supplying the hreproot
material for this building. had not fully
satisfied the building Inspector and that be-
cause OF this fact the permit was tempor-
arily withheld, pending certain inquiries.
This was the exact information given to
The Bee
The National Fireproonng company, Mr..
Batenser says, Is a leader OF It's class, un-
questioned in its methods. material and
everything concerning it's business trans
actions. 1t is doing business all over the
country with the immense capital OF $1,000
900 guarantee SUFFICIENT for such undertake
ings.
As u matter OF fact the specifications and
plans for the Cohn building give the post
tive assurance that Il will be one Of the
soundest and safest ever erected in Omaha
II will have $4,000 worth OF iron and steel
and $4,000 worth OF fireproohng in IT, This
$S7 900 gor hreproofing Is the part OF the
contract awarded to the National company.
The total contract for the naked struc-
ture, devoid of interior rnishings will
amount to $l7l,0OO plus, which, according to
the word Of an authority as reliable and
prominent as John Latenser, absolutely In
sures the stability of the structure.
| "A building costing S17l.OOO for naked con-
struction with $4,000 Of that sum devoted
to steel and iron and neproofing certainly
is most remarkable building and one
which Omaha and any city is most for
tunate to secure" said Mr.. Latenser. III
all the buildings OF this city were OF that
character Omaha would be a Gibraltar in

ENFORCEMENT OF THE GAME Law

DUBLIN, May L-(SpeciaL) )-The returns
OF the proceedings OF the Irish Land com
mission for the month OF January contains
the latest available statistics OF the opera
tions Of the Land Purchase Act Accord
ing to the returns the total amount OF
money applied for under agreements ef-
fected directly between the landlords and
tenants under the zones was on January
81, nearly 5000 10000 In addition the
estates commissioners had caused to be In
spected estates Of the estimated value OF
$l6OOO,OO0, for which requests 20 purchase
had been lodged. Further estates in the
land judges court OF the estimated value
OF 100000 has also been brought under
the notice Of the commission with the view
TO purchase: while requests" had been
transmitted by the congested districts
board for the purchase OF estates of the
estimated value of $5,5OOOOO Thus in all
proposals for the purchase OF estates to
the estimated value OF 225,OOO,OOO has been
submitted TO the estates commissioners, and
applications for s., 10000 had been received
by the land commissioners otherwise than
through the estates commissioners, that is
for direct sales under the old acts. The
total amount of money required to finance
these transactions exclusive Of the bonus
is therefore nearly S2s5, 100000. while the
bonus payable on these agreements where
II is due would amount TO about $4,000, 900.
In other words some se6O. 100000 will be re-
quired to finance the transactions in view
on January 81.
Cardinal on Education.
His eminence, Cardinal Logue opened the
new technical school at Dundalk a few
days ago. and he took the opportunity to
deliver a very practical address on the
work for which the school has been estab-
lished. A good deal OF the so-called tech
meal education" which is being given to
Ireland is declared 20 be of very little bene-
ht to industry. "The nations OF Europe
that are going ahead, going TO the front

Uogue.

HALIFAX, May 3-Three large trans
atlantic liners are believed TO be inn
prisoned in the vast icehelds that COM
pletey block Cabot strait, between New
foundland and Cape Breton. and other lines
In the Montreal and ST. Lawrence service
have been forced to land passengers and
freight in this port after Intellectual at
tempts to pierce the impenetrable barrier.
The Allan line steamer Sandman, from
London and Havre, for Montreal, which
was forced into this port yesterday to
land its 900 passengers reports that Inn
bedded in the icehelds are two large
steamers, the Allan liner Ontarien and
Dominion liner Vancouver. The Allan liner
Ionian is also believed to be in the Ice.
The fields stretch across Cabot strait for
distance of little over nifty miles and
to add to the dangers OF navigation a thick
tog hangs over the coast.
Opening is Late.
Not for years has the opening of the
summer service to Montreal been 80 de-
layed as this year. and as q result i'm
mense quantities OF freight designated for
that port, which in the summer is one Of
the greatest shipping terminals on the con-
tinent, have been severely delayed. During
the winter the transatlantic business of
ice in the ST. Lawrence river and gulf.
and Halifax. st. John, Portland, Ne, and
Boston are made the terminal points for
the liners.
These steamers were withdrawn from the
winter routes IN April and many Of them
have sailed from across the ocean with
unusually heavy cargos billed for Montreal,
as the season usually opens, under ordinary
conditions, by April 10.
The Ice conditions this winter all up and
down the coast of the maritime provinces
have been worse than for many seasons
and has caused great damage to shipping
and marine interests. The government ice
breaking steamers have been helpless for
weeks at time, having been caught In
their efforts to relieve other vessels. The
sealing feet has been one of the heaviest
losers. Its catch has run thousands behind
that OF last year. owing to the sealing
grounds being walled in by vast icefields.

has not, unfortunately. been as great a
success as some OF its promoters hoped. At

Sir Lambert Ormsby, called attention to
the fact that the society had already built
one very nne block OF buildings In Aliing-

comfortable homes al a rent within their
means, and II has done this in strict ac-

The 0pera House MaIaganlnt
Offers An Attractive Season.

The opera house Will open under
the new management of Mr.. George |
Dickert who has had several years |
of experience in the control Of show
houses, and he promises to the peo-
Dle of FITZGERALD as good as can be
had. He refused three contracts
to oppn in September because two
Of them were cheap shows, cheap
IN every sense, and they were OF
such a character that Mr.. picEert
would not allow them or his
reportoire. He onaraDtegs that
every show that is booked OF play
ed this season will be clean and
up to date. He has turned down
a good many applications for
attractions, which had tinge of
immortality in them, and insists
that he will not book anything that
the best people of town cannot go
TO see with impunity.
The opera house has been re-
fitted inside, walls have been
whitened and new curtains will be
hung at all of the windows and the
boxes will be attractive.
The Mayor and police have
promised protection from objec-
tional or boisterous yelling in the
gallery, and everyone will be ac-
corded the best treatment.
The new seats will arrive in time
for the opening attraction, and
their arrangement afford better
facilities for seating the public.
Mr.. Roscoe WOoten will be chief
usher and will have on his staff a
set of competent and gentlemanly
ushers.
Nothing will be spared to make
the house as attractive and the
shows as rood as the best in this
section of Georgia.
