Jan. 20.-By agreement be tween tho two factions counsel In Philadel phia, tod. y obtained the postponement of the base ball Injunction proceedings until Friday. Thla waa not accomplished until after a protracted struggle. All the representa- tives of the defendant clubs, as well as the plaintiffs, were at one time ready to board tho train for Philadelphia. The defendants -then openly stated that the plaintiffs had made misleading averments In their peti tion on which the temporary restraining order wae Issued, but that they could not prove their allegations. Outside 6f the executive session much was said about a conference between mem bers of the league, at which peace condi tions between the National and American leagues were discussed. It waa Intimated that there had been col lusion between these members and the American league. On the other hand, it waa Insisted that everything that had been -done waa In good faith. Although ' every effort was made for unanimous action the vote continued today to be o to 1 on most of the propositions, or to 0 on some, when the New York and Brooklyn clubs refueed to vote, although In two cases It waa to S, when Boston voted with New Tork and Brooklyn.

After being In session all dry the commit tee of th whole concluded its work and at i p. m. took a reress until tomorrow, when mijorlty and minority reports will be pre sented. The Boston club Is In the peculiar po sition of being In favor of most of the majority and a small part of the minor Ity report. During the balloting In com mittee of the whole the vote on sections 1, i and 4 of the proposed agreement between the two leagues was six to two, New York and Brooklyn voting In the neg ative. There sections provide for the recognition of contracts as binding, the reeoenl-.ion of the reserve rules and the rerirn of advance money. The Vote on section s was also six to two, with New York ami Brooklyn In the negative. Before action was finally taken on this section the following resolu tion, oflered by President Koblsnn of Bt.

Bpeed and cunning and lithe strength ac cumulated through ages of aboriginal pro genltors did not avail the Haskell Indians Inst night when thev met the basket ball team of the Omaha Young Men's Christian association, and the red men suffered their first amateur reverse this season, be'.na de feated by the decisive score of 21 to 11. The reputation of the Indiana had pre ceded them and the association gymnasium was taxed to its capacity, fully 600 specta tors being crowded into the limited space. The crowd was enthusiastic to an extreme and the visiting players attracted a large following aud were heartily cheered throughout the game. To those familiar with Irnnimfttmi,! bail affairs there were many well known In. uiuus on me uasaei Dan team. Four of the nve who played last night were on Has kell s first eleven last fall, they being Archlquette and Quyon, the famous swift endH; Fallls, the quarterback, and Oliver, the guard. The prowess of the copper-col-ured athletes Is nonetheless at the Indoor game and the victory won over them la the greatest credit to the local team. Fresh from their success of Inst Saturday night over the University of Nebraska team by the lare ecore of 39 to 18 and their still more recent conquest of the Lincoln asso ciation team Monday night by 23 to 21, the silent, dusky players presented a very for midable appearance. Unaccustomed to the small floor on which they were forced to play the Indians were unabre to get their eyes on the baskets, and never once during the game did they get their distances properly sighted up. Their team play was so fast and so certain that tlfclr chances for field goals were more frequent and also much less hampered than those secured by the white men, but they couldn't crop the ball in the haiVi often enough to pile up the necesary total, while the local boys scored on a far larger percentage of thefr chances, both at field and foul line goals. ine game waa fiercely, though not roughly, played. The white men went In thinking thev were beat, and worked rtes. perately to stall It off., Meanwhile the red men expected victory, and were surprised Into, frantic efforts to stem the tll whn once It had ret against them. In tbe first half the Indiana were outplayed, but In the second the score was practically a tie, and on Its merits the game for that half was also. Jardine and Archlquette, the two star men of each team, were opposed to each Other, and their HashllkA rtnnvera vfif,. keen sport. Jardine was the only man on the white team who was the equal of the Indiana In speed. As a preliminary two bovs' tenma from the elementary classes played a game of twelve-minute halves. The participants were the ten boys who had sold the most ticket tor the bla- same. Tenm A won 1 to 0. in 6n excltln- contest. Durlni tho In. termlsslon between the hilves of the big match the Finney brothers. Hurley and Jennings gave a high grade exhibition of tumbling, and won arrest favor with th spectators.

DELEGATES WILCCMED TO THE CITY Prlaelpal Raelaras Will Be the ton. slderatlon of Several Proposed Laws for the Improvement f C'oaaty Goverameat. President, H. Co. i n t y. Vice president cour.tr. W. Winters. Madison a. W. Thorpe. Custer Secretary, J. p. Falter. Pass rnjntv. Treasurer, A. C. Harte, Douglas county. Election of the above officers and the adoption of a resolution Imposing upon all members of more than a year's standing, a yearly asreesment of 25 cents each was practically the only business transscted yesterday afternoon at the opening session of the three days' convention of the State Association of Commissioners snd Super visors In the Douglas county court house. At night the delegates were entertained by the local board at the Orpheum theater and today they will open their question box and settle down to a discussion of measures proposed by the legislative committer, which Is headed by 0. W. Welton of Lan caster county. In electing officers the only contest was for the presidency. Mr. Winters has been vice president during the last year and has bad executive duty since the death of Pres ident Francis Phillips ot Hastings, two months after the meeting a year ago. Aftar Mr. Winters was nominated for president a second nominee appeared In the person of Mr. Thorpe ot Custer. The ballot resulted 42 for the Madison man and St for Thorpe, and Winters wss declared elected. Imme diately Thorpe was made vice president by acclamation and the election of Falter and Harte, the latter a re-election, was ac complished In the same manner. Each made a brief speech thanking the associa tion for the honor conferred. Kxpense Money Is Needed. The new assessment feature was proposed by Mr. Welton of Lancaster, who called attention to the growing tendency of tho expense account and stated that the in itiation fee of 60 cents exacted of new members would not prove sdequate, adding that he had paid out of his own pocket bills for the legislative committee that would slone swamp the association's meager treasury bad he drawn on It. The new ar rangement leaves the cost to a new mem ber 60 cents for his rirst year and 25 ceats for each subsequent year. The report of Treasurer Harte showed $45 disbursements, with 110.20 balance on hand and some few bills for stenographic work yet outstanding. For today there Is no "set" program and matters will be taken up at random, the sessions being devoted largely to discus sions of the measures to be urged upon the legislature, which measures were fully set forth In Monday's Bee. Most important, perhaps, will be the matter of securing legislation that will force, by mandamus and fine, assessors everywhere, and even the State Board of Equalisation, to Bx the assessment .of property at Its fair cash value Instead of an optional fraction thereof. One of the Interesting delegates Is Com missioner Hensley of Thurston county, a full-blooded Indian, who la Interested par ticularly In laws governing ownership if land and its Improvement. The, delegation from Holt county, how ever, centers Its Interest In '.he promotion of legislation which- shall make certain the power of a county "board to foreclose cn land for taxes and aell It to the highest bidder. One of the delegstes stated that uncertainty as to this lightTa giving Holt county some uneasiness. He said: ' ws Dave a county forty-nine miles equare and containing a portion of the sand hill region, wherein land 1s worth sometimes as little aa $5 per acre, pend ing irrigation. The taxes run $10 per quarter and bad been allowed to run. un paid as long as twelve years In some In stances.

Several people started cases to test the propriety of such proceed' Ings long ago and the supreme court held them valid. Recently, In later cases, the supreme court has seemed to reverse Itself, and now we are to get another hearing and have the proposition argued from our stand point more thoroughly than it was before. The county attorney thinks we will win this time, but the uncertainty has made us anx ious that the legislature shall enact a law that will remove all doubt and make the validity of our action certain." - Some of the delegates at this convention are labelled commissioners and others su pervisors.

The proposi tion of Irrigating public lands had been agitated and through the influence of the club the railroads had made many rulings favorable to the city. Robert 8. Wilcox, chairman of the exec utive committee, was called upon to out line the policy of the club for the coming year, which he did by saying that every effort would be made to carry out the bv. I laws to the letter. He 'asked that the club meters give their support to the dining room, which after February 2 would be exclusively for the use of the mombers and their friends. . Some Boavata for Omaha. . S. A. McWhorter spoke on the subject of "Omaha as a Grain Market." Omaha, he said, was the natural market for the great est of grain sections and he felt that the city should handle its share of the grain rather than allow Kansaa City and other niarketa take It. The subject of "Munlclpsl Ownership" wss discussed by A. W. Jeffsris. He advo cated the publlo ownership of the water works In this city and gave figures to prove that by that system Omaha would be an Immense gainer. The toastmaster asked E. P. Smith for a few observations of an outsider. Mr. Smith brought out the point thst the men who are doing the most good for Omaha, who are doing the actual hard, energetic work, are those of moderate means. "There are men who have made the city," he said, "and men whom the city has macle. A company of the former class Is worth a whole regiment of the latter. If only the virus of energy for the good of Omaha could be injected Into the veins ot the city's wealthy men there would be a ari derful good accomplished. Of the fly's wealthy men there are mighty few In the ranks of those who are pushing Omaha." Following the regular program the toast master called for a few extemporaneous speeches and a general talk resulted. . DEATH RECORD. i Wife of Colonel James Miller.
