TO VACATE STREETS
Charter Revision Advocated by c. II.
Harrison as Means of
ing CIty's Growth.

C. F. Harrison of the Real Estate ex-
change charter revision committee advo-
Gated a change in the city charter OF
Omaha which would provide for legally
vacatlng streets where it was apparent
that such vacation was necessary, and I'm
all time to come would not greatly injure
other property holders, before the exchange
Wednesday noon.
IF we do not have such a provision we
are going to stifle the growth OF our city,
especially industrially," said Mr.. Harrison.
while / believe the vacation Of streets
and alleys should be jealousy guarded, 1
believe we should have a provision made
which would enable US 10 give a good H.
tie 10 a portion of a street or alley within
the city of Omaha when it is advisable to
vacate such a street / might refer to the
new Northwestern depot property. This
property is a great improvement to the city
OF Omaha and to its transportation facIi-
ties. The railroad company needed a long.
narrow and unbroken strip of land on
which to build a great freight terminal.
There was no other way to provide the
strip except to vacate a street or two.
Now, while this might have been a dam
age TO some property east of the depot

BELLEVUE LOOKS FOR SITE
College Trustees Consider Several
Places, but as Yet Come TO
No Conclusion,

Trustees of Bellevue college are looking
over sites in various parts of Omaha for a
suitable location for the college proper,
which is to be located in Omaha, the build
ings at Bellevue to be retained by the
academic department and possibly for a
boys school.
But regardless of rumors, no decision
has been reached as TO where the college
will be located. The trustees have looked
at sites on the south side Of the city and
some have insisted that the P. K. Her
home bought by Robert McClelland for a
new Presbyterian hospital, will be the
site of the new college buildings. Another
report has located the college in Dundee.
The trustees have frequently driven
through Dundee, or some of them have
and actually looked at a site in that
suburb.
Out in Redick's addition near the Theo-
logical seminary two vacant lots of prop
erty would give ample room for a college
building and campus Seeing this vacant
property 80 near a big Presbyterian lnsti-
tuition, many have insisted that the trustees
would certainly locate Bellevue college in
the north part of the city. The trustees
have talked over the north side property
near the seminary.
A proposition has been received from
property owners in Miller park, and the
trustees rave discussed this location. The
announcement of a newspaper that Belle
vue college would locate in Miller park
has met with a flat denial by the
trustees.
But Bellevue college is coming to Omaha
and at a later meeting the trustees will
conclude a deal for the new site.

opinion in the first place that candidates
for such a position should make no defi-
mite campaign nor lower the dignity OF the

lawyers for the candidates to make such a
scramble to get places on II.
"A member Of the bar is placed in a
very uncomfortable and embarrassing po-
sltion by anyone who asks for a vote said
an attorney. He must either promise one
way or the other to avoid continued inn

a definite answer even II he wishes to.
II he does say yes or no he has an I'M
pleasant alternative. II he says yes TO

notes afterward and the man who has been
free with his promises will get the com
bined vengeance. II he says no d anyone,
II may be that the man he turns down, is
afterward appointed and then he runs the
risk OF having a case put in Jeopardy by
that mans displeasure. This Is a state OF
affairs which seems wrong TO the mem
bers Of the bar and they intend removing

ON LAND DECISION
Attorney for Richards and COmstOck
Has No Idea When 1t VIII
Come.

Judge A. w. Critics of Chadron is in
Omaha on his return homeward from Lin
coin. Judge Critics was one of the at
torneys in the noted Richards & Comstock
land trial held in Omaha two years ago,
assisting in the defense.
Il rave not the remotest idea when the
decision on the appeal in these cases will
be handed down by the circuit court of ap-
peals and l do not look for It much before
December" said Judge Critics. Politics
is not cutting any great figure with us up
there. Some years ago a strong populist
sentiment pervaded that section of the
country, but the populists have drifted
back into their old time party affiliations.
The reappearance of Bryan In the political
field has somewht revived the populist
sentiment, and ne may poll a fairly good
vote up there this fall"
