Blind Will Not Get
Mrs. Augustat Money
Beneficiaries Named in Strange Will
Get No Share in Woman's
Estate.

The blind OF Omaha will not benefit by
the death Of the late Mrs. Maria Augusta
although her will orders that some $500 Of
the proceeds Of the sale of her property
be divided among the Eightless.
Clyde Sundblad, clerk OF the county
court, said Friday that the provisions OF
the viii could not be executed, since It
was impossible to secure the names and
addresses Of all the blind persons in the
city. The part Of her small fortune which
Mrs. Augustat wished given to the blind
will be turned over to the state, since
she leaves no natural heirs.
You see, it would be impossible for the
executor OF the viii to swear that he had
divided the money among all the bliud In
Omaha, because he could not know posi-
lively that he had done So" said Mr..
Sunblad therefore the Judge could not
approve his work and discharge him. Sup
pose such a thing should be done. After
the whole matter was supposed TO be set
tied some blind person who had been over
looked might come in and have the whole
thing set aside"

Mail Clerk Admits
Pilfering Pockets
of the Other Clerks
Was Caught with Marked Bills and
Confesses to Having Taken
the Money.

Thefts OF valuable railroad watches,
money and jewelry from the railway mail
clerks dormitory upon the top floor Of the
federal building. alleged to have been COM
mitted from time to time during the last
six months, are thought to have been
stopped by United states Marshal Warner,
through the arrest early Friday morning
of Clyde NJ. Cambridge, a Missouri Pacific
railway mail clerk.
Cambridge was arraigned Friday morn
ing before United States Commissioner An
derson charged with larceny from a gov
eminent building. He pleaded guilty and
was remanded 70 the Douglas county jail
in default of $500 to insure his appearance
before tho federal grand jury.
1t is said that the disappearance OF vaiu-
ables from the clothing OF railway mail
clerks who slept in the dormitory. together
with the occasional mysterious mansuver-
/ ings OF Cambridge, directed suspicion upon
him.
! The United States marshAls office was
notified. This week deputy United States
Marshal H. b. Hayes, pretending sleep in
the dormitory watched for the supposed
culprit, without avail.
Thursday night Marshal Hayes placed
three marked IS bills in the pockets Of
sleepers at the dormitory. At midnight, the
marshal says he saw Cambridge get up
from his bed and go TO a clothes rack in
the opposite room where the trap was
set" When Cambridge returned, MarshAl
Hayes said he stopped him and searched
his clothing finding the marked BILLS
Cambridge denied that he had taken the
money. He said he got It in Kansas city.
He broke down Friday morning however,
and confessed that he had taken the money
Il am in hard straits" he told Marshal
Warner, and needed the money. have
wife and two children In Kansas city,
Kan"
Cambridge declared that the marked
money was all he had taken from the dor
mitory but Marshal Warner says he has
proof 10 deny this.
Cambridge has been employed on the Mis-
souri, Pacific railway as mail clerk for Nv,
years He has run between Omaha and

home in Stavenger, Norway, at that age
for a Job on a Norwegian passenger
steamer. Since, he says, he has seen

Cost of Building is Retarding Devel

LAND DEALERS GIVE VIEWS

profitable At Present Cost OF Con-
structiOn of HOuseS-They
Cite illustrations.

Omaha real estate men declare with al
most complete unanimity that building OPP
erations and real estate deals have been
retarded and restricted by the uniformly
high prices demanded for lumber by all
retail dealers.
Some real estate agents declare that
prices asked for lumber by these dealers
are considerably higher than In many
cities In the same part of the country.
The charge that construction Of build
ings has been postponed and delayed by
the price of lumber, is supported by speci-
flo instances.
''The high price of lumber and other
building material has been a hard thing
to pull against" said w. H Green, three
times president of the Omaha Real estate
exchange. prices Of lumber has been so
high that many man about to buy real
estate to build on, or TO build on property
already owned, has been compelled to
abandon the project for time. l my
self have delayed more than year
building at Twenty and Leaven-
worth street. 1 ought In way, to have
started it long ago. l have the tenants Sc

1T costs too much TO build" said d. "

cies and companies, Lumber costs too
much. have compared prices here with
! other places at which houses built to sell
are sold and l know that the sale price
is lower in other places than Omaha men
can afford to sell It. The explanation is
obvious. In these other towns the men
who built the buildings get their lumber
cheaper. A high retail price Of lumber
retards building and consequently Of real
estate transfers"
