Paxton Will Not \

Decides Price is Too High, So He
May Decide on Smaller
Buildings.

william Jaxton, jr., will not build apart
ment houses on Farnsm street costing
seOo. M
After the plans were all made, estimates
furnished by the architect and bids rev
oeived from contractors. MIR. Paxton de-
cided at the fiGure-more than &O0.0o-the
apartments would not pay interest on the
Investment even in omaha where apart
ments bring high rentals and seldom fail
to have good tenants who take long time
leases.
Had this apartment been erected II would
have been at puce the beauty spot In ar
chitecture in Omaha and one OF the most
striking examples OF artistic apartment
houses. The plans were made by John
Latenser.
But the lots at FArnam street and
Twenty fifth avenue are desirable and Mr..
Paxton has already been asked to name
a price. as several agents believe they
hive buyers.
Mr.. Paxton has no plans at present for
building apartments- He may later evolv,
a plan requiring a smaller amount o
money. or rather, buildings which will pay
interest on the amount invested.

BLACK HAT MAY FIGURE BIG
IN FATE OF PRISONER
Bears TeI1-TaIe Initials that suGges
IL Was Not Bought by
the Wearer.

An ordinary black derby hat may become
weiEhty evidence against William Irving,
a colored man.
Such a hat, which he admits is his, was
found in the room of Martha Banks, 1105
North Nineteenth street. Monday after
someone had broken into her trunk and
stolen a fur coat and some other clothing.
And the interesting facts that the hat was
bought in Omaha long enough ago to allow
it to become well worn, although Irving
says he has been here only three weeks,
and that II contains the initials l.. c. b.,
although he insists his name is William
Irving, may lead to his trial for some other
burglary.
The hat did not figure in the case until
the man was arrested and the stolen goods
were recovered by Detectives Mitchell and
Sullivan. who we're even holding Irving for
the theft OF the Banks woman's clothes
before they knew that she owned them.
They accomplished the matter by first
getting the clothing at a pawnshop and
then arresting the man who pawned them.
Later the clothing was identified by the
Banks woman and the hat found in her
room was discovered to be ~Irving's.

RESULT OF GREEK RIOT
Matter VIII he Taken Up Directly

NAL Claim.

No suits will be filed against individuals

the riot against the Greeks in South Omaha

The claims which were tabulated and
itemized by Theodore Ion, professor of in
ternational law at the University of Boston,
have been turned over to the Greek min
ister. and within the next. thirty days At
torneys Sullivan and Raft OF Omaha will
prepare the proofs to be submitted to the
department at Washington. ,
The action of the government depends
upon whether the treaty between the
United States and Greece has been vio-
lated by reason of the riots. The entire
case is now up to the Greek government.
Insofar as prosecution of the rioters is con-
cerned the attorneys for the Greeks here
have nothing to do with that and will start
