HENRY L, socretary. Frebibto M1 EIGTE MEN IN BALL CAGE Good Turnout in Response to Coach Carroll's Call. GYM TRACK IS FIRST COURSE Manager Eager, While at Minnesota, Will Try to Arrange Schedule for Game Next Fal LINCOLN, Feb. 18.—(Special)—~Nearly eighty men reported to Coach Carroll at the gymnasium this afternoon for the first base ball practice of the season. ‘“Cage' work was started at a few minutes after noon and continued untll nearly 8 o'clock. Previous to the limbering up exercises Coach Carroll instructed the men In re- gard to thelr work for the spring. The Cornhusker coach has ordered all men who have not taken part In basket ball or Indoor track work to spend about half an hour each day for three weeks in running around the track in the gymnasium In order that they may strengthen their wind. For the practice today Coach Carroll had the players limber up their points by throwing the ball around the “cage.” This kind of work will be continued for' two weeks, and then the entire squad, which probably will have grown to number 150 men, will be allowed to take part in indoor games. Grounders will be batted around, and the candidates given Instructions as to how to handle the various kinds of batted balls. Considerable attention will be devoted to teaching the men how to bat. A smoker was given for the cardidates at the Sigma Alpha house last night, and fully seventy-five men were present. Profs. Caldwell and Barber were on hand as rep- resentatives of the faculty and told the men that they would have the unanimous sup- port of all the professors in thelr attempt to turn out a winning nine this season. Manager Eager announced before he left Lincoln with the basket ball team yester- day for the annual jaunt to Minneapolis, that he would probably conclude arrange- ments with the Gopher athletic authorities for a foot ball game next fall. There has been some doubt in certain Cornhusker quarters as to whether the Nebraska eleven would be given a place on the Minnesota schedule next fall. Some of the Minneapo- lis professors have opposed the game, fear- Ing that it would be too hard a proposition for Willlams' bunch to tackle. Last fall Nebraska proved a surprise to the north- ern team and almost held them to a tle. Unlike some of the local professors, how- ever, Manager Eager does not think Min- nesota will turn the Cornhuskers down this year, and he expects to sign a con- tract with Minnesota for a game on North- rup fleld next fall.

These were elected officers and directors of the Omaha Rod and Gun club at the annual meeting held Thursday, when dls- cussion waxed warm and considerable bus- inéss was transacted. The first official business of the meeting was L0 pass resolutions of regret and condolence -over ;the death of the former president of the club J. A. Scott and to listen to short testimonials as to his worth, from J. A. Rine, G. W. Craig, M. Loftus and John N. Westberg. r. Bcott's photograph occupled a prominent place, draped in ‘black. The directors were au- thorized to seeure a large plcture of Mr. Scott to hang in the club house. Courtland beach may be bought by the club and the entrre property used as grounds and club house. A proposition was presented to the club, which referred the matter back to the board of directors with power to negotlate with the Creighton Realty company for a proposition and to report back to a special meeting of the club, It was reported that the Courtland beach property, which includes all the land with- in the ‘Inclosure to the middle of the lake with the cafe, skating rink, bath house bowling alley, artesian well, etc., could be secured for $60,00. A plat was presented of the property which showed that 125 lots could be sold from the property for bungalows and still leave all the land de- sired by the club, together with the prop- erty already owned. The Creighton estate offers to sell on a contract for $5,00 down with a payment of 35,000 a year for three years, when a warranty deed will be given and a mortgage taken for the balance. The report of the secretary showed & membership of 740, which Is a gain of 178 from this time last year. It was suggested that the membership would greatly in- crease If.the Courtland beach property was secured. An effort will be made to rent the large dredge from the city when It is not used by the park board this summer to dredge in front of the club houses and to throw up a slight dock. A vote of thanks was extended to Fish Commissioner Willlam' J. O'Brien for the large number of splendid,fish he has placed in the lake during the last few years and especially during the last year when he stocked the lake with some extra large fish. The report of the vice president showed that several tons of carp and buffalo were taken from the lake last fall and that more would be taken out as long as they lasted, The club has $600 in its treasury.

CONGER SAYS IT IS BLACKMAIL Chief Witness Tries to Throw Odium of Orime on Members Who De- manded Money to Kill Billa. ALBANY, N. Y., Feb. 18—The list of un- answered questions that awaited the prob- ers of the legislative bribery scandal to- day was as long as on any day since the senate began its investigation. Names on the three envelopes holding the bridge companies’ $,000 bribe had been told by Senator Benn Conger, but yesterday's evi- dence had opened several new leads which the investigators may follow at once or reserve for later action, under different organization. Conger brought Into the evidence yester- day the names of several men now in office in such' a‘way that, although not charged ‘with wrong doing, it is probable they will have &’hearing. 8. Percy Hooker, state highway commissioner, was named as the man who helped Conger draft the proposed amendment to the highway law that was.supposed to be desired by the bridge companies. Assembiyman J. P. Yale of Putnam, county was spoken of as the author of the highway law which struck at the bridge companies after they had refused, .according to Conger, to con- tinue the payment of tribute to the polit- ical leaders. Senator Heacock of Herkimer county was the man who introduced the bl drafted by Conger and Hooker, which Allds is supposed to have persuaded the assembly rules committee to kill at the last sesslon of the legislature. 4 The big. questions, however, are: Who sharéd with the late Jean L. Burnett the $4,00 which Conger says Burnett received from Hiram G. Moe on April 23, 1801? ‘and who made the demand for $10,000 “protec- tion” money which the bridge companies refused in 19087 Conger's testimony that Speaker Nixon and Jotham P. Allds received only $1.000 for thelr influence at that time precludes the supposition that Burnett was given the larger sum all for himself. It Conger knows how the money was distributed he may be forced to tell before he leaves the stand. Made Charges to Imsurgents. Lewis B. Carr asked Senator Conger today why he did not announce in the assombly that an attempt had been made to blackmall the bridge companies. “I didn’t think it would do any good," replied the senator. | Conger declared that he had mentioned his charges against Allds to two senators just before the “insurgents” held their meeting. He sald he did not give his in- formation to the republican caucus, that chose Allds, but disclosed it at the “in- surgent” conference. Mr, Carr announced that his examination was over for the present. Speaker Nixom Umder Cloud. 8. Fred Nixon's was the third name that Senator Benn Conger says Hiram G. Moe wrote on one of the enviopes in which they carried 36,000 to the state capitol nine years ago to buy protection for the bridge com- pany. The name of the former speaker of the assembly announced yesterday by Con- |uul-w and Bauer Make Score of |geron the stand completes the trio. Speaker Nixon's envelope, according to Conger, like Senator Jonathan P. Allds, held $1,00. The remaindeér of the fund of $4,000 was in the envelope given tc Nixon's lieutenant, As- serablyman Jean Larue Burnett, According to Conger, from 1901, to 1905, & systematic campalgn was conducted at Albany against the tressury of the bridge companies. For three years the companies paid tribute. In 1%5 notice came from Albany that It would be to their Interests to forward to the capital $10,00. Then the | mén who controlled the bridge companies met In Syracuse and agreed not to pay. As Conger expressed, “we decided we would not be blickmalled any longer." During the four preceding years meas- ures hostile to the bridge interests had been Introduccd regularly, but they always failed to pass. But In 1905 the legislature passed a highway act, which placed on the a provision against which the bridge combination had long contended. As a result of this law. @ per cent of the bridge companies were forced out of busi- aess In New York state. Alds' accuser was on the stand all day and this was his story. He told it under cross-examination and - Allls' attorneys secemed quite ready to let him tell it. Thelr purpose, apparently to brand Conger as & giver of bribes, as a representative of the bridge Interest in the legislature and to show that he was actuated In bringing against Allds the charges the senate is now investigating by a desire for revenge for Allds' hostility to the business interests where Conger had investrd money. Conger followed their ‘lead With a readiness that can be explained by & desire to convinee his colleagues ‘that he would not have handled bribe money unless he and his business assoclates had been ‘“held up" by legislators, and that the bridge inter- ests In the vast had to choose between blackmall and ruin, | |Opposition to Cock’s Auto Bill Drivers Would Be Immune from Arrest Except by Federal Officer After Leaving Home State. WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.—Representa- tives of automobile owners of the coun- try appeared before the house interstate commerce committee today to advochte some sort of federal law that would place them upon a uniform basis and relleve them from the “freakish” operations of conflicting laws of the various states. The federal license bill introduced by Representative Cocks of New York was being considered. ' L. R. Speare of Boston, president of the American Automobile association, op- posed the provision which would regu- late the licenses of automobiles according to horse-power. He explained that a ma- chine of small power, but running rap- 1dly, might do more damage than a ma- chine of greater power running at a lower rate. It was stated that the Couks bill would produce $1,00,000 annually in revenue for the federal government through the license fee of $5 for each machine. There are now 860,000 machines in this country, and with the output of 1910 added the total would be about 600,000 cars. With but one-third of this number taking out federal licenses the government would derlve the large revenue above stated. BEdward 8. Cornell, secretary of the Na- tional Highway soclety, arrived today to investigate proposed national legislation for regulation of automobile traffic. Mr. Cornell said tonight that he found senti- ment in Washington to be against federal automobile legislation at this time. The bills now before congress, he sald, es- pecially the Cocks bill, have provisions that would destroy the rights of the states to cause the arrest of an operator of a car before an accidenf occurred. A motor car operator traveling from one state to another would under this law, Mr. Cornell argued, be practically fmmune from arrest except by an officer of the United States court. Upon this ground Representative Mann opposed the Cocks bill today. l Missouri’s Captain Expelled from School University Senate Expels J. R. Bluck, Giant Tackle, Because of Escapade. COLUMBIA, Mo., Feb. 18.—(Special Tele- gram,)—J. R. Bluck, captain of Missouri's 190 foot ball team, has been suspended from the university for the rest of the semester for misconduct. This means that a new captain must be elected to take the glant tackle's place, for even he should return to Missouri, he will be ineligible to play next fall. Bluck, with another student, was re- cently fined in the Columbla police court for disturbing the peace and was expelled at the recommendation of the »ludem senate.
