Before the members Of the Omaha Real
members Of the Water board and repre-

H n. Baldrige reviewed the history OF the

in a lump which looked like a black cloud.
and If the S.On.cO Of bonds are issued TO

could sell "a per cent bonds for many

Looking at all the sides of the case and
the positions which the attorneys for the
Water board have taken. which I believe
are strong ones: and Il looks To me indi-
vidually that the nance are against the
city Of Omaha in the cases and that the
supreme court will hold against the Water
board"
Speaking Of the hydrant rentals, which
now amount 60 81. co.. with E.Sl interest
besides. Mr.. Baldrige said:
This sum must be paid sooner or later
and the unjust thing about II Is that II
must be paid. not BY those h should

own Omaha property in the future since
the amount has been accommodating there

BILLY BRADY MAY MANAGE
KAUFMAN, SUCCEEDING Delaney

Chicago, H., June 11.-Blly Delaney,
the present manager of AL Kaufman,
the California heavyweight, is getting
tired of his job, and has asked BILLY"
Brady, who was manager for Jim Cor
bett and Jim Jeffries, when they were
the stars of the fistic armament, to
handle the big fellows affairs.
Delarey's health is not as good as it
has been, and he wishes to give up
some Of the heavy work incidental to
the managing of a near-champ. He
Will still look after Kaufman's training
and will stick to his corner in his fights
but he wants Brady to do the type
writer pounding and the press agent
stunt.
Brady has been out of the fistic world
since his marriage to Grace George, the
actress, but he is anxious for the old
excitement of the ring, and is an en-
thusiastic hacker of Kaufman. He
backed Al heavily for fight with JEFF
fries, who crawled on the issue.

New York, June 11.-Stanley Ketchel
would like to have Jim Jeffries as
referee for his coming fight with Jack
Johnson for the worlds championship
next October at COlma, Calf. The
Michigan middleweight reached here
early today from Philadelphia with his
manager, Willus Britt. Speaking of the
statement of Jeffries that he would
take on Ketchel for the championship
should he defeat Johnson, Britt said
Il don't believe Jeffries would want
to fight Ketchel. Jeffries' sole idea
in returning to the ring was to defend
the title from Johnson, who claims it
l should like nothing better than te
have Jeffries referee the Ketchei-
Johnson fight and will accept him in i
hurry if Johnson makes no objections

The Markets.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in Al
The Leading Stocks.

New York, June 1.-THE action of the
days stock market threw no conclusive
light upon the state of speculative opn-
ion beyond the uncertainty that occurred
in the constant fluctuations of prices.
The market contraction in the volume of
the market at the same time was an
additional symptom of the Discrimination
to assume a definite attitude in the spec
ulation. Forecasts of the bank statement
afforded some increased assurance over
he money outlook and rates for call
loans yielded to below per cent. after
the appearance of the preliminary eSti-
mates of the weeks currency movement.
In spite of the easier tone of the Chicago
exchange on New York, the inflow of
uninterrupted The estimate of the gain
IN cash by the banks for the week vary
from five TO over eight million dollars.
The higher rates for money during the
week both on time and call foster a feel
ing. of caution on the part of borrowers
and induce the conviction that the de-
mand from the interior for funds to move
the crops is at hand.
The conclusion of the stock market set
tlement in London was followed by some
relaxation in the demand for cable re-
mittances to London. which has been a
feature of the foreign exchange market
and which is regarded evidence that
American stocks are carried in the Lon
don market for New York account. Lon
don financial observers assert the belief
that the largest part of the account in
Americans in that market is for New
Workers. 1t is probable that the season
able hardening in the money market has
something to do with the scaling down
of speculative activity in stocks. There
was some unSettlement caused by the
discrepancy between the sharp decline in
the price of copper warrants in London
and the break in Rio Tinto mining
shares in Paris and the glowing reports
of copper trade conditions were accumu-
lating in foreign stocks and the domestic
deliveries by producers We're finding lodg-
ment in second hands without going
wholly into consumption was regarded
disturbing and as partly accounting for
the sluggishness in the copper industrials.
United States Steel was also immovable.
Colorado & Southern dropped three
points because the directors refrained
from declaring a dividend raising the
question whether the per cent basis

fore the sale to the Burlington would
