Builders exchange, said:
Opportune Time.
"There never has been more op-
portune time in the history of Omaha
to build than at the present. There
have been reductions in freight rates,
building materials and wages, Out
side of further possible reductions in
freight rates, prospective builders
cannot expect further declines in
these three items
Mr.. Parsons was strong in his
praise of the first building exhibition.
"No sooner had the first show closed
than we contractors felt the influ-
ence it exerted," he. declared. These
exhibitions bring out new features
which should be added to new homes
as we'll as old at the smallest possible
cost. A building exhibition, if prop
crly conducted, is truly educational. 4
Advertised Extensively.
The. second building show is be-
ing advertised in every railroad sta
tion in Nebraska, as we'll as western
Iowa. Mr.. Franke stated. In addi-
ton to this los 'billboards in Omaha
will be posted this week and next

voted to the exhibition.

Challenges Delay
Selection Of Jury

|
San Francisco, Jan. l4.-Inability
Of opposing counsel to complete the
jury today in the second man
slaughter trial OF Roscoe c. (Fatty)
Arbuckle, led to the belief that testi-
mony. would not begin until Tues
day. ! Defense attorneys expressed
the opinion that this trial would
take at least as long as the first one,
which occupied three weeks.
. The jury box has been filled six
times since the case was called last
Wednesday, but the use OF six pet,
emptory challenges has heightened
the process of selection. Eleven
temporary jurors were in the box
at adjournment today and examina-
ton OF twelfth virtually was conf
pleted.
The only outstanding incident to-
day was request by the court to
the jurors temporarily in The box
and to the veniremen waiting exami-
nation that if anyone approached
them from either side" the court
be notified at once. The court also
announced it was prepared to order
the jurors Unto custory at any
TIME" to prevent their being ap-
preached. No explanation of the
remarks was extended.
