SAY LINCOLN MEN
FEARED LOSS OF
STUDENTS r ABE
Charge University Regents Co.
creed Into Keeping School
= Open.

Charging that students of the
University of Nebraska were forced
to attend classes where they suf-
fcred from lack of heat due to a
coal shortage at the institution, be-
cause the state board of regents de-
clined to close. the colleges in the
face of the fuel situation, letters
from Lincoln citizens have been
coming to The Bee accusing coer-
cion Of the university authorities by
Lincoln merchants who had stocked
up on Christmas supplies and feared
the loss of student trade, should the
university be closed. .
Trees and posts along the streets
near the university campus in Lin
coin were placarded with posters
during the week, alleging that the
board Of regents refused to close
the university because of pressure
brought to bear upon them BY
stockholders of large department
stores in Lincoln.
.-. Mayor Investigates.
]. E. Miller, mayor of Lincoln, in
stituted an investigation into these
charges last week. At the conclu-
sion of his probe, he laughed, and
said he knew where the closing
propaganda" originated, reports
from Lincoln say.
When approached by university
authorities, students denied connec-
ton with the posters. some averring
that the campaign for closing the
school was launched by Omaha stu
dents, 9'
Others allege that the posters
were plastered over the campus at
the instigation of small competitors
to the department stores, Lincoln
reports state.
Feared Losing Students.
Mr.. Miller, who is also a member
of the board of regents, stated that
the main reason for keeping the uni
versity open until as near the regu-
lar holiday recess, was through a
fear Of the board that if the insti-
tuition were closed at this time,
many students from out of the state,
who would return to their homes
for the vacation, would fail to come
back to the university for the winter
term. .--.
AS a result, the hours of recita-
ton were reduced somewhat, and
the conservation Of fuel was encour-
aged by the authorities to as great
an extent as possible.

son that they cannot buy at that
figure in wholesale lots.
George r. Wilson, manager of
Browning, King & Co., said:
Assert List Absurd.
1T is perfectly absurd, this Chi
cago list. The price Of an average
suit of clothes here for a man is $50
to $40 and $50 and upward for ar
overcoat Yes we have suits for $25--
but | am talking about the average
suits which are referred to in the
Chicago list. 1t is impossible to
make an average, dependable suit of
clothes for SIS in these days Of
scarcity of woolens and high cost of
labor and other factors which enter
into garment. We manufacture our
own clothes and have stores in II
cities. and we buy our own fabrics
Robert Rosenzweig. manager of
the Drexel Shoe company, showed
the cost prices Of his shoes on the
bills from the manufacturers. These
statements showed that the average
prices OF mems shoes range from 81
to s. per pair, wholesale, for the
stocks now on the shelves and prices
of So to $40 for the stocks that will
be received for next springs trade.
In line with other Omaha retailers,
he challenges the correctness Of the
Chicago list and AYERS that he can
discredit the list if it purperts to
cover average, dependable" goods.
Hosiery Prices Impossible.
Omaha merchants threw up their
hands in despair when asked what
they thought of the Chicago item
which read, "Women's hosiery, Is
cents" They asserted that there
may be such a thing in Omaha as
women's hosiery at Is cents a pair,
But what woman would wear
them" they asked, coyly.
Women's suits are priced at SIS in
the Chicago list. whereas ordinary
suits were quoted here yesterday
at $3.50 and the merchants insisted
that they can not buy these suits at
wholesale. of the average grade, at
any figure to compare with SIS.

Omaha merchants asserted that
they read with a smile the list OF
flair prices" sent from Chicago yes
terday in connection with the cost
of suits, overcoats, dresses, shoes,
socks, stockings and other wearing
apparel for men, women and chill
dren.
The Chicago price are quoted as
being for average, dependable ar
ticies and are not fixed as minimum
or maximum prices. Five of the
largest houses in Chicago are said
to have fixed the prices.
Suit Average Low. .,.
~ notice that the Chicago fist
shows mems suits at $3.50 as the
average price" said a representa-
tive Of one Of Omaha's long-estab-
lished stores. Here is a depend
able suit for man, which we are
offering for $40 and here is another
for SIS, but anyone knows that the
average prices run from SIS to $50.
Suits we are now selling for S45 will
be sold next spring for SIS. We
can't buy an average, dependable
suit at wholesale for $3.50, nor can
anyone else do it, but we have suits
for $40 and SIS that are dependable,
but it is difficult to sell them"
This same merchant showed de-
pendabie mems shoes on his counter,
marked at $3.50 and 81, but he ex-
planned that there is not much cali
for them because they lacked style.
The Chicago list quoted a price of
$5.95 for mems shoes and $4.95 for
women's shoes.
Minor Articles Same.
The Chicago list showed $500 for
the prize of a boys suit, and this
Omaha merchant showed Bee rep
resentative an average boys suit
marked at S.. He also showed mems
hosiery at Is cents, the same as the
Chicago fair price"
Women's dresses in the Chicago
list arc quoted at $l5.25, whereas the
