NEW YORK, May H.-Sradstreets TO-
day says:
Trade is quiet as whole unfavorable

Trade reports from the west note a
quiet TO fair trade at retail while job
flll-in orders. aud fall trade is reported
backward, though perhaps equal TO a year
ago at this date. Except in the low Missis-
slppi valley, southern trade reports are of
fair to good trade for the season of the
year. Retail trade at the east is only fair
and wholesale trade is disappointing.
Among the industrials one OF the best
crcumstaneed lines is building, which
shows a next TO the largest monthly ex-
penditure for April, second only to May,
1909, and allied lines all show good oondi-
tions. In the iron nd steel trade furnace
production is still being decreased and
western reports are that lower quotations
are being made. Cottons have advanced
sharply, but distribution has been retarded
as to the uncertainty of future values, re-
ducing buying only to immediate wants.
In other textile lines quiet rules. but II is
significant that manufacturers this week
have bought more freely of raw wool and
at concessions than for a long time past
Collections reflect the INFLUENCE OF retarded
spring trade in reports OF only fair to
slow payments. Land speculation at the

Albert Emerson
Sues Cycle Rider
For Big Damages
Man Injured by Being Struck by
Motor Machine Seeks Redress
in Courts.

Albert Emerson who was run down and
severely injured while crossing Pearl
street at First avenue, on the night OF
May by a motorcycle ridden by Hans T.
Nielsen, has brought suit in the district
court against Nielsen for 1900 damages.
In his petition Emerson alleges that the
accident was du. TO the gross carelessness
Of Nielsen in driving his motorcycle
through business street at high rate
Of speed Emerson states that he was
seriously cut and bruised about the head
ana face and was rendered unconscious for
some time. on application OF the plain
tiff, Judge Wheeler issued an attachment
against the property OF Nielsen to the
amount Of n,Ooo, on Emerson's allegation
that Nielsen was about to place his prop
erty hey ond the reach OF creditors.
The bottom again fell out OF the docket
yesterday and Judge Wheeler was forced
TO excuse the jury until Monday. The
suit OF John Nelson against the Omaha g.
Council Bluffs Street Railway company
involving claim for damages to property,
by alleged interference with drainage by
the defendant company's right-ofway was
assigned for trial yesterday and agreement
had been made try it to Jury OF eleven
men when announcement was made that
settlement would be reached out OF court
The jury which had been enpaneled was
accordingly discharged.
The case OF NJ. weatherbee against John
Metcalf was settled out OF court and a
judgment for s10O entered against the de-
PENDANT by agreement.
The personal injury damage suit OF James
wait against w. A. Maurer was continued
until June 10, by agreement. Watt sues
for damages for being struck by an auto
mobile driven by Maurer.
The announcement that Judge Wheeler
had continued the trial OF Fred Fowler,
under indictment on charge Of criminal
assault OF a l3-year-o girl, TO the Sep
TENDER term appears to have been pre-
mature. Yesterday County Attorney Hess
filed a resistance to the motion for a con-
tinuarce. In his resistance the country at
torney states that four months have
elapsed since the indictment was returned
and that the defendant has had plenty Of
time in which to prepare his defense; fur
Their that the two witnesses mentioned in
the defendants motion for a continuance
are residents Of Florence, Neb, and that
the defendant has plenty OF time in which
to secure their attendance at this term
or In which to secure their deposltions.
County Attorney Hess on behalf OF the
state offers to waive time In taking these
trial may be obtained" 1t Is likely that
the motion will be argued before Judge
| Wheeler this morning.

Voting Machine to
Settle Big Contest
Wise Fair Attraction Proving One Of
Best Features Of Many Offered
at Bazaar.

The voting machine at the Wise Memorial
hospital fair and bazaar at the krug theater
kept up continuous click last night and
proved one of the best attractions. 1t now
appears that the question who shall be
the next candidates for president, United
STATES senator and governor of Nebraska
will be definitely settled before the fair
ends and that the problem OF woman suf-
frage will no longer worry the people OF
Omaha.
The crowd was again a good one and
spent its money literally. The attendance
increases as the fair progresses and this
afternoon and tonight is expected to be
the largest of the carnival The school
children are TO be admitted free during
the afternoon and evening and Manager
Cole has fixed up a splendid program for
their entertainment. The doll booth, the
menagerie, the candy booth. the toy booth
and numerous other attractions will be
fitted up especially for the edification and
entertainment OF the youngsters. There
will be an interesting vaudeville entertain
ment and seats will be free.
The committee Is still receiving many
donations from outside towns which did
not reach here before the bazaar was opened
and Fred Busch Is sending out his wagon
daily to bring in new donations. Many Of
these donations were shipped from every
part OF the country and 1t was presumed
they would reach Omaha before the fair
began.
Last nights offering in the way of en-
tertainment included a real buck and wing
dance in which Prot. Chambers and Billy
Cole had places of prominence Mr.. Cham

touch Of the Highland fling, but Mr.. Cole
kept to his original role that OF vocalist,
