DENIES PHOTOGRAPHERS YARN
Baker Construction Company Not Be-
hind Pjcture-Takinu Plan,

Manager Baker of the Nebraska
Transportation company, which is be-
hind the project to build an interurban
line between Omaha and Norfolk,
writes to L. P. Pasewalk of the Com
mercial club to deny statement made
in this city few days ago by photog
raphers who claimed they were max
ing pictures of Norfolk business
houses in the instance of the Nebraska
Transportation company.
The photographers claimed the pic
lures were to be used as evidence of
the character of towns the road would
cover for the sake of convincing east
ern investors. Mr.. Baker, however,
has already stated that the money for
this road has been secured in Europe.
The two photographers told News
representative that they were here
representing the Baker Construction
company and that they were photo
graphing the business houses for that
company. Since then, however, the
men have been selling post card pho
tographs to business men at the rate
of 81 per dozen.
1--WE will clear some good money in
this town before we get through" is a
statement one of the men made to a
local business man, to whom they also
| represented themselves as employees
of the Baker company.
The men seemed to know much
about the Baker company and declar.
ed that they are having a hard time in
their fights against railroads who are
not in favor of an interurban road.
When asked for their names, the men
declared they were pledged by Baker
not to give out any information.
