A city club has been formed by some of tke “leading” cliizens, the object of which is to give dinners at the Lificoin and pass upon questions af- fecting the city. Whether the club expects the ordinary citizen to take its judgment on publio questions Is not set ‘out in its constitution. With its new City club and its new Initiative and referendum alub, both of which seem to have originated from the same source, it is very apparent that two or thres “prominent” citizens are golng to be kept busy this winter. Opponitiaii te 'I'rabt Plgn. The proposed profit-sharing agreement between the oity 6f Lincoln and the Lin- coln Traction company apparently has been knocked Into & Cocked hat. At a mass meeting held during the week there was #0 much oppobition developed against the plan that its, promoters have about con- cluded that the people here are mot yet ready to go Into partnership with a street car company.

Street Fight with Thief. BROKEN BOW, Neb., Nov. 21.—(Spe:ial) ~Night Marshal Draper /had a lively ex- perience Baturday night with a suspected thief, which resulted in several sho's being fired and a posaible wound for the “ away.” The stranger was seen by the mar- shal In a pool hall and apparently beeame nervous under the close serutiny of the officer and made for the door. Draper followed, but on reaching the outside, dis- covered the man to be sprinting full speed @p the street. At first he pald no at- tention to the marshal's command to halt. At the pecond command, the stranger balf turned and drawing an ugly looking gun sent o bullet whizxing close to the officer's head. He then cut mcross lots in the di- rection of the Burlington yards. Draper ®ot one shot at him as he took to the lots and another as he passed a strest light. It is probable that the fellow was hit, but he dld no: slacken speed and #oon disappeared in the shadow of the yards. Later on, Sheriff Kennedy, Chief Towsley and the night marshal found the man's outfit, consisting of an overcoat stolen at Ravenna and & fine saddle, at & holel on the north side, where he had registered under the single name of James. As a fast train was just pulling out for the east, when the fugitiva reached the yards, it s presumed he caught that and doubled on his tracks as far as Grand Island. Aaiach Nebraska News Notes.

LINCOLN, Nov. 2l.—(Special. »~The Ne- braska foot ball team returned from Denver this afternoon, with every player who took part in the game against the Ministers yesterday in fine physical condi- ton. Not ono of the men received an In- jury that will keep him out of practice for the Haskell game. In some respects the Denver contest was a hard battie, but the Cornhiliskers went through It better than in any of the previous contests. The altitude had no ef- not have to make a substitution during the two thirty minute haives. Koehler of the Denver eleven, however, had to put two tresh men in his lineup during the second haif. The Cornhuskers stood the grueling pui better than their opponents, and whén th gAme ended they were playing just as good baal as they did In the first half. They could have piayed winning ball for mn additional thirty minutes Before the players left the train as pulled into Lincoln “King" Cole ordered all of them to report for proctise at 3 o'¢lock Monday afternoén, when prepara- tions for the Haskell game will be started. The Cornhuskers are determined to win from the Indians, and they are ready to work overtime in order to get into shape. rprises Reserved for Indians., Coach Cole has in reserve several plays for the Thanksgiving day game, and they will be drilled Into the men during the next three days. At Denver the Corn- huskers did not expose all their pays, One of these, which s certaln to gain would have to show up, was not demanded and will be used for the first time this all on Thursday.

It cost the tedm at least three touchdowns. the Denver one-yard line on first down, when he was being shoved across the goal for a touchdown. carrylng the ball to the one-yard line on a forward pass from Captain Beltzer, fumbled it there, giving the Denver eleven a chance to kick out. In the second half the ball was fumbed twice on the Denver forty-yard line after the Cornhuskers had carried it from the Nebraska twenty-lard line on stralght line smashes and end runs. Outside the fumbling the Cornhuskers had the Denver eleven outclassed and should have defeated them by @ score of 20 to 6. This was the opinfon of the of- ficlals who had charge of the game and of the Denver foot ball experte. Nebraska's superior execution of on- side kicks and forward passes, plays In which Denver was supposed to be adept, bewildered the Ministers. The Cornhuskers failed only once on an on-side kick, and were successful with all their passes. & single successful pass or short kick, al- '«hon'g: everal were attempted. Magor Wins High Praise.

Since the defeat of Denver Nebraska's stock has gone up several points, and the indications are that Cole's men will be the favorites in the betting against the Haskell Indians.

PROMISE BILLIONS TO WORLD Greater Results to Mankind from In- from Discoveries in Electrieity. Omaha will be called upon to be the host to some of the best known men in the world, when the American Breeders' association comes here December § to re- main four days. It is estimated that 1,000 men will be here who have given the world more knowledge of heredity than all the libraries contained before this cen- tury, these, including scientists from this country, Canada and Hawall will be here. A dozen years ago even the universities aid not teach much on the subject of heredity because not enough was known about it to justify instruction Divided into more than a score’ of com- mittees, the leaders of the American Breeders’ assoclation have been making & sweeping investigation of the laws of nature applied to heredity. While one com- mittee 18 Investigating fish breeding, an- other experiments with roses; still another committes of Scientists seeks Information on breeding fur-bearing animals that they might be improved, while David Starr Jor- dan heads a committee on “eugenics,” and will investigate and report on heredity in the human Two Billions Added to Farms. At the'meeting to be held In Omaha next month these committees will report. They will show how heredity, like electricity, is coming rapidly into man's hand to in- crease production, They say it is an energy, which when harnessed will glve the United States $2,000,000,000 of new weaith each year on the farms of the country alone. Electrical energy has given the world billions—heredity is a force capable of giving the world more wealth than electricity, says the committees of this assoclation. Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson, heads this organization, while Willet M. Hays, the assistant secretary, is one of the organisers and its executive secretary.

To say otherwise would be to impute to congress the doing of the unnecessary and useless. Though the natural tendency of a combin- ation in restraint of trade declared (llegal by section 1 may be and generally |Is towards monoply, denounced by section 2 and may even accomplish It, yet the scope of the latter section |4 far broader and was designed to extend also to mono- polies secured by other means than by contracts, combinations and conspiracles in restraint of trade, which, as those terms necessarily imply, require concert between two or more persons or corporations. “One person or corporation may offend against the second section by monopolizing, but the first section contemplates conduct of two or more. A cursory reading of the act shows this “That It was the intention of congress to condemn monopolies not based on fllegal combinations among several, but secured by single persons, natural or artificlal, by other means, also appears from the history of legislation. To offend the act, the monopoly must have been secured by methods contrary to the publio polley as expressed in the statutes or in the common law. “The modern doctrine is but & recogni. | tion of the obvious truth that what a go ernment should not grant because of in- Jurious to public weifare, the individual should not be allowed to secure and hold by wrongful means. “The baneful effect s the same, whether the monopoly comes as & gift from a gov- ernment or is the result of individual wrong doing. Nor can arguments of re- duced prices of product, economy in oper- ation or the like have weight. “During the discussion of the amendment above referred to apprehension was ex- pressed over the broad language of the | second section of the proposed act and | | Inquiry was made whether the committes | | having the bill in charge Intended it shoula make it an offense if an Individual en- gaged In interstate and forelgn commeice | by his own skill and energy, by the pro- | priety of his conduct generally shall pur- | #ue his calling in such & way as to mo- | nopolize a trade.’ “Assurances were given that the term ‘monopoly’ had no such significance, but that it contemplated the employment of means which prevented others from engag- ing in fair competition, the engrossing of trade and the like. Undoubtedly this view prevailed at the passage of the law.” TEXT OF FORMAL DECREE Defendants are Enjoined from Con- tinuing Con acy by Any Mea ST.

The commissioners were not prepared to express an opinion on the chief's proposal, but indicated that it will be given con- sideration at some later time, when money is In sight. Counell Meets this Afternoo: An adjourned speclal meeting of the city council is to be held at 2 o'clock this after- noon, when action will be taken on the request of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners for an appropriation of $10,000. It does not seem likely that this amount will be allowed, because of the fact that the burned automobile was Insured for 34,000, whieh will serve to replace It with as good a machine. The Intention of the board is to purchase a second auto- mobile, and instead of having six horses to have only two, for use on & new emer- gency wagon, and possibly on the extra wagon patrol in case of need. The balance of any money allowed will be used to put the gutted barn in shape for use, pending its entire rebullding into a fireproof struc- ture without az upper floor, or the erection of & new barn, with possibly a city tool- house and storage place in. connection. The fire at the police patrol barn has brought up again for discussion, among councilmen and city officials, the desir- ability of insuring all clty property. No insurance is carried by the city of Omaha on any of Its buildings except schdol houses, which are partially insured. The Board of Education carries a fund of $25,000, and has for some years, to which is added yearly what would be paid In Insurance premiums it ail the buildings were insured for full value. President Harding and others have advocated Insuring all school houses, the same as business buildings, but the old policy s still adhered to. e ® Mayor Ingledue Again Indicted.
