agrees "to at all times protect and in
demnify Robert L. Carter against any and
all claims by j. ]. Hanighen."
Hanighen is a s~ubcontractor with the
Thompson-Starrett company and Carriers
job Is sublet to him by Hanighen.
The stipulation is signed by Carter and
by Frederick Whitton, as vice president of
the Thompson-Starrett company.
Frederick Wilton, president OF the
Thompson-Starrett company, is still in the
city. At a meeting of the executive com
mlttee of the Business Mems association Mr..
WhittOn set forth his proposition made to
Carter, asking the cooperation of the or
ganization in reaching a settlement with
the sub-contractor. He urged the neces-
sity OF the completion of the Brandeis
building at the date set. He explained
that a long series of contracts, including
theater bookings and office leases, were
involved in the delivery of the building by
the contractors at the proper time.

discussion of the proposition offered by
Mr.. Wilton, it to Mr.. Carter

Street Railway
Seeks to Enjoin
the Bridge Rate
Maintains it is Not Railroad and
Therefore Not Subject to Inter-
state Commerce Commission.

Injunction is asked in the United States
court by the Omaha & Council Bluffs
Street Railway company against the Inter-
state commission IN a suit filed
Tuesday noon. The street railway COM
pany asks that the commission be enjolned
from enforcing its order in the passenger
rate case across the Missouri river.
Some time ago the Interstate Commerce
commission issued an order that after
February 1 the street railway would be
permitted to charge a maximum Of 10 cents
fare between Omaha and Council Bluffs
and Council Bluffs and Omaha, but that
Il must include In the ride a transfer good
on all lines in Omaha and Council Bluffs.
The order was not obeyed February l.,
nor was any action taken by the govern
ment to enforce the order. The company
now asks for an injunction against the
enforcement Of the order OF the commits
sion on the ground that the commission
has no jurisdiction over the company,
which, the petition asserts, is a street rail-
way company and not a railroad.
1t is said that when the commission
issued the order It was divided on that
point, with Commissioners Knapp, Prouty
and COckrell taking the position that the
commission had no jurisdiction.

Jolly King Ed
Insists on Paying
England's Ruler Refused to Accept
Shipments of American Apples
as Complimentary.

When the king of England eats apples
he wants to pSS- Tor them.
When A.. L. Norris, the owner of extern
slve apple orchards about Wenatchee,
Wash, who is now in Omaha, sent a sam
pie shipment to his majesty's steward Of
Windsor castle he received in return a
staggering cheque ON the royal bank ac-
count
"'No gifts for them seemed to be the
idea of the precise letter." said Mr.. Morris.
1T appears that the king don't care to eat
gifts. But, anyway, I've been sending
them a shipment at so much per ever
since.'
The kings brand Of apples is called the
Winter Banana" They nave become
quite the rage with royalty now and the
Wenatchee growers are shipping nearly a
thousand cars a year TO England.
Mr.. Morris is a guest at the Henshaw,
where he is renewing his acquaintance
with Joe Keenan,, chief clerk. They be-
came friends by a chance meeting in the
Black Hills on a hunting expedition several
years ago, before Mr.. Morris went west
and struck 1t rich in land. Mr.. Morris is
now In the mercantile business, but finds
time to hold onto his apple farms.

Subcontractor Gets $6,9S4.70 from
Thompson-Starrett Company.
TENDER OF MONEY ENDS STRIKE
stipulation Signed for Dismissal of
Suit, Carter's Men Leave m
Job and Union Crews VIII
Rush Work.

The Brandeis theater labor controversy
came to an end Tuesday morning when
Robert l.. Carter. a sub-contractor, was
paid S6,9S4.7O to leave the job with his nom
union men. whose presence had caused a
strike by 800 union workmen.
The Thompson-Starr company, general
contractors for the erection of the theater
and office building, eliminated the cause Of
trouble by simple purchase. The trans
action was sealed by the signing of a stipu-
lation calling for the dismissal Of the first
injunction suit brought by Carter against
the Thompson-Starrett company. This
stipulation was filed in district court.
Carriers ~nonunion men called at the
theater building at s o'clock Tuesday morn
ing and took their tools away, leaving the
job for once and all. There was no friction
with the union men.
The deal gives Mr.. Carter a handsome
profit, in that he had performed but a part
Of the work for which he has been paid.
The settlement made by the Thompson
Starrett company covers three sub-con-
tracts and relieves Carter from all obliga-
lions whatsoever.
The Thompson-starr company is max.
ing arrangements for the resumption of th'
sheet metal work, for which Carter hac

Trouble started by Suit.
The trouble broke when Carter filed
suit for Injunction against the Thompson
Starrett company last Friday to proven
this company from dispossessing him o
his sub-contract on the ground that hi
workmen were not efficient. A delegation
OF union men visited the building ant
notified Carter's men to get off the joI
that afternoon. The following morning al
injunction suit directed against all OF tn
unions and their representatives concernei
was filed by Carter.

FOR CLEAN STREETS
Burmester and Flynn Say Council
Cannot Help Matters.
COMMISSIONER SINGS OLD SONG
Acting Mayor Varies strain by Blam-
Ing Business Men who DID Not
Help In Charter Fight Be
fore Legislature.

Some members Of the city council have
been considering the question Of providing
extra money for clearing the streets under
the emergency clause Of the city charter.
1t has been found, however, that this cam
not be done, as the charter provides for
emergency only in the event of epidemic
or unforeseen accident"
In a consultation with Acting Mayor
Burmester, Street Commissioner Flynn said
he would be willing to hire all the men and
teams available in Omaha and cut the ice
out everywhere the full width Of the street,
provided he could nave some assurance
that the council would. later on, r eimburse
his fund.
The acting mayor said he could not give
any such assurance, and he does not be-
lieve the council can do so.
This kick is always made,' said Mr..
Burmester, but the business men over
looked their chance when they did not go
to the Legislature to fight for a proper
charter for Omaha. This city is growing
in a wonderful wa and excavation work is
everywhere in progress. You cannot build
without making accommodations OF dirt and
rubbish, and thousands of loads Of dirt
cannot be hauled through our streets every
week without littering them from end to end.
This condition will probably continue for
several years. Just now Farnam street is
the center Of ~excavating and building work
on the portion above Nineteenth, and, of
course, the loudest kick comes from the
people living and doing business along that
street"
sum of $4,000 In Fund.
Mr.. Flynn insists that no business mar
or organizations gave him any backing
when. he was trying to get the last leg
~islature to place a fund at the disposal of
the city council to meet just such a con-
dition as now exists.
|. Il have a large amount of money, ap-
preaching $4,000. in my fund now" said
the street commissioners. II 1 could take
say 1900 o of 1t and go at the streets we
could chop out the ice and frozen dirt in
a short time, but 1t is not possible to ex-
pend that amount Of money without know
This continual freezing and thawing handi-
caps any kline Of work except that which
is lone by main strength. As soon as a
real thaw comes we can flush the streets
and get rid Of the loose dirt. But we can
not cripple our fund in one or two weeks
and be broke the balance of the year.
IF we had been able TO spend some
money in November and December this
condition could have been avoided, but al
were to get several thousand dollars thai
