LOUIS, Oct. %.—The national board | of arbluradon of the National Assoea.don of Professional League Ciubs comp.eted its | work and adjourned at an early nour tolay after being In scssion during mos. of the time since Weunesuay. M. H. Sexton of | Rock Island, 111, was elecied chatian and J. H. Farrell of Auburn, N, Y., secretaty ot the woara. Wiliam Phyle of the Memphls ciub, who | falied to uppear and subsiantiaie the vharges made by him that ceciain players had “thrown' games to fufluence the Southern league chumplonsiip, was ex- velled. He was given an opportunity to| appear before the Southerd league meet- ing on the 18th of the presen. month, but falled to attend. Secretary Farrell sent a telegram requesting his attendance here, but no notice was pald to it by Phyle. A number of minor cases were decided 1n the case of Hulsernan, who was draf.ed by the Chicago American league club from Shreveport, the player was awarded to Shreveport. President Willlams of the Spokane (Wash.) club appeared betore the board (n an endeavor to secure Hulseman. The Norwich (Conn.) cwub was awarded $27 on a claim against the Atlanta (Ga.) elub for the sale of Clare Murpay. ‘ihe claim of the Rochesfer (N. Y. and Litue Rock (Ark.) clubs for Puyer Housshoider was referred to Becretary Farpsl for in- vestigadon and settlement. A claim was filed by the Toledo club for the return of money advanced players. On in Constitution, The most Important alterations made in the constitution were in relation to \he sai- ary limits of the var.ous ieagues, the d.aft- ing prices from lower to higher leagucs, the prohibiting of exhibition games dur.ng the scheduled season and the provisions for the acquisition of territory by class “A" clubs from those in class “B" for a fixed compensation. In reélation to a salary Umit it was decided that for class *'A’ this should be placed at $2,40), for ¢ “B" at $1,800, olass “C" $,000 and class ' $500. The penalty for a violation of this is the release of any player making complaint from the club which has ex- ceeded the limit and the fining of the club gullty of the offense in the sum of $500. In case & club refuses to pay this penalty the protection of the national association will be withdrawn from the league until sufficient arrangements have been made to secure the payment. The national assoclation did not give ou: anything regarding drafting prices of play- ers. The drafting prices from each league in the awsoclation, however, weére fixed as follows: From class “B,” $00; from class " $300; from class “D," $200. The draft- ing season was arranged as follows: From October 16 to November 15 for class “A." from November 16 to December 16 for class “B," from December 15 to January 15 for | clags “'C."” The drafting season for the National and American leagues runs from September 1 to October 15, coming before was that achleved by lowa four years 480, thus making oven old scores. booth 18 conhdent that the Cornbuskers will tri- umph and their folowers are oi the sume mina. in downing the Colorado university last Saturday by the cecl:dve margm of dl pointa 1o 0 the Cornhuske:s shuwed steauy Improvement over their .orm in ihe siiug- g6 with tie Haskeil Indians the previous week. Nebraska s attack was too puwer- ful for the wesierners, but this depariment of the Uexniuskers play was neverthe- less ragged at times, in that there was a lack of concerted offense.

The offensive piay of Left End Bene.lct was of steliar order and most of the long gains made by Left Half K.ger, the miiget of the Nebraska team, were due chiefly to Benedict's never-falilg performance of fastening himself onto the little fellow's hips and throwing him budily ove:r the Colorado tackiers who sought (o interpose.

DOANE WINS FROM COTNER Large Score Made, but the Defeated Team Makes a Good Showing. CRETE, Neb, Oct. %.—(Special)—In a snappy. clean game of foot ball Doane defeated the Cotner university eleven by # score of 38 to 0 yesterday afternoon. The Eame was more interesting than the score would indicate. The Cotner boys, while clearly outclassed, played a gond game and oceasionally plowed through Doane's line in a way that would have done credit to a more experlenced team. On straight foot ball they advanced the ball about forty yards, while {he play of the locals was characlerized, as in last week's game with Hastings, by 'long end runsand ground gaining line hucks. Doane was penalized three times for offside plays. Doane scored the first touchdown in less than two minutes on flerce line plunges and a_twenty-yard end run by Tidball. The visitors seemed demoralized and other touchdowns followed in rapid succession, until at_the end of the first half, the score #tood: Doane, 8; Cotner. 0. In the second half the Cotrier hoys piaved more coolly and did some good defensive work. They were, however, umable to withstand Doane's fierce line plunges or to stop its swift end runs. For the visitors, Ellis, Finch and Reeves aid eome fine work. while Evans' hurdling was excellent. Brownell distinguished him- self by making runs of sixty-five and fitty yards for_touchdowns, while Tidball, Day. Fuhrer, Wendland and Vance all rroved %00d ground gainers for the locals. Tidball missed but two of the ten tries at goal. M i ol it b e D U R AN oot THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1903 A CONSTRUCTIVE PRESIDENT Achievements of Horace @ Burt in the Railroad World PREPARATION FOR HIS LIFE WORK &h Knowledge of Engineering. Horace G. Burt, president of the Union | Pacific, has undoubtedly spent more mii- lions in recent raliway construction than any other western radruad president. This fact aione makes Presideni Buri a com- manding figure among the men who have wrought that transformailon of the w.st which has lately been effected in course | of (he greaiest movement of raii:oad recoi- structlon that the worid has ever seen. | But the personality ol this ‘‘consiruction president’” is sufficiently powerful to make his achievement appear the natural ex- | pression of his inuividuality. | The ofl of diplomacy was omitted in the ! compounding of President Burt's character. In the words of an old raliroad man, “There isn't enough molasses in the whole makeup of Horace G. Burt to diaw @ hun- gry fly.” He sometimes allenates by his strajghtforward bluniness those toward whom his intentions are in every way triendly. But this bluff man is as big-hearted as he is blunt and outspoken. He yields to generous impuises with the same impetu- osity that he speaks his mind to those with whom he differs. One nigaf he chanced to see a bevy of happy young debutantes in a box on the opposite side of the tiea.er Some of them were the daughters of friends, but most of them he knew but slightly. Crossing the auditoiium, he en- tered the box and greetéd its ocoupants cordlally. Before leaving he said: “I should like to take the young women who are here on a trip wherever they wouid best enjoy going. Now, where shall it be?” Of course, the astunished debutantes left the choice of the place to President Burt and he selected Fort Rlley. The visit was made on the occasion ot the annual mili- tary maneuvers, and probably no happler rty ever occupled the private car of a rallroad president than that composed of the dozen young debutantes of Omaha and their chaperons. But no member of the party found greater enjoyment in the trip than Presidenc Burt in providing the outing and making every arrangement for the comfort and pleasure of his young guests. Although himself not a master of finesse, his apprec.ation of this quality was shown by the heariduess of his enjoyment of a certain incident of the military maneuvers. When planning the trip the young women, of course, thor- oughly discussed the matter of clothes and it was decided that their best array of party gowns should be taken. But one shrewd young debutante quietly packed her riding habit and said nothing o her asso- The ‘lineun: COTNER. 3. Reeves . Eils Lucas Palmer DOANE. Tidpall ‘Jones .

At the fort the young officers came forward with numerous invitations for horseback rides, but the shrewd young miss was the only one of {he party who was abie to accept. The riding habit did far more ¢ffective soclal execution than all the party gowns of the company and its owner was besleged with attentions, At Delicate tasks of diplomacy, trimming of safls and the shifting of ballast irriiate and annoy him; the nice adjustment of labor troubles, the soothing of irritated shippers and other patrons of the road, are not to his liking. Mr. Burt's prepartion for his work was of the right kind to develop his natural gifts to thelr full extent. After going through the Terre Haute High school he entered the University of Michigan and was gradu- ated in 1867, being then 24 years oid; but his start in raflroad service began while he was still in his teens. His work as & rodman on the old Van- dalia line helped him to pursue his school work and the money he earned in charge of a locating party on the Joy roads went into his college funds. Shortly after leaving college he was given a position In the engineeriug department of the Chicago & Northwestern railway. Here he became chief engineer. In 1882 he undertook his first responsibilities as an operating executive, being superintendent of the northern Iowa division Six years later found him in the Important position of general manager of the Fremont, Eik- horn & Missourl Valley road, with head- quarters at Omaha. Next he served, for a few months, as general manager of the 8t. Paul, Minnesota & Omaha rallway, from which he was- called to the third vice presidency of the Chicago & North- western rallway, in charge of traffic. This glimpse of his career is full of meaning to the young men who are ambi- tlous to make sound progress toward the highest position in railroad administration. It points with emphasis to the conclusion that a thorough knowledge of engincering 1a a strong basis upon which to gain a footing In the operating and traffic, as well as the construction, branches—and this conclusion is distinctively “the Burt idea.”~Forest Crissey In Saturday Even- ing Post. PASTEXTRA SESSIONS (Continued from First Page.) AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Oonsiderable Business to Uome Ba'i Oty Council. STREET VACATION MAY BE TAKEN UP Providing a Place for the Dum of Garbage Requires Immed Attention from the City There will doubtless be considerable busi. ness of importance transacted by the city council at the meeting to be held tonight. Arrangements will be made to refund $21,000 in bontls which fall due on November 1. Should the district court set aside the in- Junction relating to the vacating of stub ends of streets in the northern part of the city for railroad purposes when the case comes up today the councll will proceed tonight to recelve a report from the judi- clary committee and have the ordinance read for the second time. One matter of great importance which Mayor Koutsky has promised to have brought up is the necessity for dumping garbage into the river. Those who have inspected the present dump say that refuse is plled high on a sand bar a considerable distance from the river. 'This s because there 15 no safe road to the water's edge. Physiclans who have looked into the matter say that if this dumping keeps on the health of the residents of South Omaha will be greatly endangered, especially in the spring. No sooner is a passable road made to the river than something happens and the road is there no more. Garbage haulers are doing the best they can, as the river cannot be reached the garbage is dumped on a sand bar not a great distance from the emergency hospital. The expenditure of about $100 at this time would, it is thought, bulld a road to the river that would last all winter. In case this is done provision will have to be made for dumping the garbage now on the sand bar Into the river, and this will cost probably $100. Some matters of minor importance will also be discussed. Complaint About Nulsanee. Sanitary Inspector Jones {s preparing to make complaint to the city council about the durtping of refuse from stock cars in- side the city limits by the Burlington road. Just north of L street and east of the tracks at Thirty-eighth the Burlington cleans and disinfects its stock cars. The refuse s plled along the tracks for a dis- tance of about 1,000 feet. Thomas Gillleple and Peter Lenagh, as well as others owning property in the vicinity, filed a complaint with Inspector Jones. When an investiga- tion was made a day or two ago the condl- tion was found to be as stated by the com- plainants. The city councll will be asked to direct that after this the Burlington dump the refuse from its cars outside of the city lmits. and the quiet sentiment that is develop- ing all over the east for his nomination on the democratic ticket reminded one of the old-time newspaper men of this city the other day of a story in which Mr. Cleveland figured in saving & young news- paper man from a 8Scoop. In fact Mr. Cleveland is probably the only president who ever thought sufficlently about a news feature to Interest himself in any news- paper man. John W. Drew was a general reporter on the Press of this city, whi now lles in a neglected grave in Washing- ton's journalistic cemetery. The Press was an outright republican organ and its edi- tor, the late E. W, Fox, took great delight in addressing President Cleveland “break- fast table” ,etters which were calculated to take away the presidential appetite. In consequence, the Press, its editor, and the reporters were persona non grata about the White House. The Press did not have very much of a local force and it was very shy of assoclated press or other news assoctation reports. On February 2, 1869, the Centennial exercises of the founding of Georgetown university were held and Presi- dent Cleveland delivered a very thought- ful address. Drew was called upon to re- port the centennial proceedings. Not hav- ing been promised a copy of the presi- dent's speech, Drew was called upon to take “long hand” the president's oration. He sat alongside the platform and his Reported Robbery. John Roth, who lives at Forty-third and T streets, and Chris Trummer, residing in the same locality, called at police head- quarters yesterday and reported that at about 1 o'clock Sunday morning they were held up near the entrance to the Catholic cemetery by three men and robbed. Roth asserts that 360 was taken from him. The robbers wore no masks, but ecarried re- volvers. A meager description of the robbers the maneuvers she rode alongside the com- manding officer, while her companions were obliged to content themaelves wiih seats in the reviewing stand. This picce of fem- inine cleverness is sald greatly to have amused and delighted President Burt when it was related to him o the return bf the party. A Bellever in the Engineering iden, Ferhaps no other president has pushed the “engineering idea” further into the operating fleld than Mr. Burt. As the greater part of his raliroad career up to the time when he became president had been spent in the construction department, this tendency is not to be wondered at; the practice of filing cperating positions by men educated as engineers is, however, not an uncommon phase of modern rail- road administrative policy, and fts results are held to be generally satisfactory. Strong, unfinching personal loyalty is a trump card in the character of President Burt. He Is as firm a “stayer” in friend- Tell Thir to Your Wife.

T some, ship as in enmity. It is sald that when a youth, and fighting his way for a college course at Ann Arbor, he recelved encour- agement and substantial ald from a fam- ily friend—a man who, for Lis day and community, was regarded as wealthy. Al- though his friendly service was Rng ago repald, so the story has It, the matter has always been considered an “open account” by President Burt of the Unfon Pacific, and shortly after he came Into his present position he sent\for the son of his friend and gave him & place in the employ of the road. Just as rapidly as he could qualify for promotion the young man was ad- vanced, and he now holds a very responsi- ble position on the cfMcial staff. That he will go much higher is not doubted by those who know the personal characteristics of President Burt and the history of his at- tachment for the father of his young pro- tege. But as President Burt 1s a stickler for solid merit, it may safely be assumed that the son of his old friend has “made good" In actial results. As a rafirond engineer and construction- ist Horace G. Burt is one of the most em- inent figures In the contemporary rallway world. Here I8 the fleld of his genius and here he has made ralirdad history in dead earnest. The keen judgment of the new owners of the Unlon Pacific was vperhaps never more conclusively demonstrated than in selecting Mr. Burt for the heavy re- sponsibility of reconstruction. Tt Is scarcely too much to say that this pushing, driving president, who dares to overturn prece- dents and traditions and who s not feased by the enormity of any task, has accom- plished in three years a reconstructive work that would, In the hands of an or- dinary executive, have required six elght years. Reconstruction Work, Much of the machinery used in this work of reconstruction was put to practical test on the Union Pacific for the first time. The whole plan of the vast improvement cam- palgn was boldly concelved, and it has been executed without a serious hitch or break--in fact, without any interruption of traffe. The rehabliitation of the road has ex- tended to the smallest detalls; the lax dis- clpline which was & natural and perhaps inevitable result of the administration by recelvership has been tightened to meet the most modern and stringent ideas; every department has been put upon & strict business basis, and the entire property and organisation of the road rejuvenated with the one idea of making it & great dividend earner. As the realisation of this result must rest primarily upon the abliity to haul the maxtmum of tonnage at thy minimum of cost, the problem was necessarily first one of good engineering, of the reduction of grades, the elimination of curves, the strengthening of bridges, and all other improvements Involved in making it pos- sible to haul heavier loads and with greater or Y then was | #xpedition without increasing the expense of eperation. Bulldog determination is & mild term to apply to the persistent. unpelaxing force Mr. applies to with copy paper lay within a dosen inches of the president's dexter foot, Drew doesn't know whether or not the president noticed his commendable and. arduous efforts to keep pace with him but subsequent de- velopments made himthink he did. At the close of the address he ident,. accom- panied by Cardinal Gfbbons and the rec- tor of the university, proceeded to the Cole- man museum where they recelved the alumni only. A bright {dea struck Drew | squarely in the forehead. While not | a graduate of Georgetown he declared | himself an alumnus of that institution. He was presented to the president as such apd also as a Washington reporter. “You fellows get everywhere, don't you?" was the president's greeting, accompanied by a hearty handshake. John modestly admitted that they did and passed on. When a few feet away he turned and looked back. He was ourprised to see the president raise his right hand and with his index finger beckon him back “Did you intend to publish my remarks inquired the president. “Yes, sir,’ was the reply. “What paper do you represent?" “The Washington Press.” As the recollection of those ‘“breakfast table” letters flashed across the presi- dent's intellect his face clouded for a moment and he uttered a low guttural sound which might or might not have been akin to those utterances which made*‘our army In Flanders” famous. Then.a slight smile played across his features and he sald: “If you will call at the White House was given the police.
