MUST INVESTIGATE CHARGES Nebraska Alumnus Demands Sidney Collins Be Cleared or Punished. TAINTS CORNHUSKES ATHLETICS tlyde K. Elliott Declare Facts Abat raytaa- of Moaey to Foot Ball Hero Caa B Ban IXsi abort Tim by Clap. OMAHA. May 16,-To ths Editor of Th Bee: Steps must be taken to run down the charges agslnst 8ldney Collins and either prove that this young athlete actu ally did receive money for his services In foot ball during the season of IK, as openly charged last week, or els glv him a clean bill. Collins must not b Lorlmerlied: if be is guilty he must be revealed, but If he Is Innocent then these persons who have brought the taint upon his character must be punished. This communication Is addressed to your paper because It falls upon the dally press of Omaha and Lincoln to force the athletic powers of the University of Nebraska to carry out n Investigation. We of the alumni of the University of Nebraska have felt that all Is clean in Pornhusker athletics. With Dr. Clapp In full swing as athletic director we thought there was no money-paying to athletes for their services. Dr. Clapp has assumed the position of "purity man" at Nebraska. It is he who has run down every little rumor about any athlete. It Is he who barred McKlbben from foot ball because that young stsr hsd played with th Orand Island professional base hall club. Moat Dana-eroas ef All. Now, with dangerous charges against Sidney .Collins the worst that have been registered against any athlete sine the day of Johnny Bender it Is the duty of Dr. Clapp to push an Investigation of the Collins chsrges and clear this athlete's skirts, If cleared his skirts can be. The charges against Sidney Collins are graver than they would be if registered against any other athlete of the university. This Is true because Sidney has been looked upon as one of the ideal student athletes of the state. He has been looked upon as a square fellow who would push his fist Into the face of any man who tempted htm with money. Now, If Collins has taken money for his services at the university his cas Is much more shameful than that of any other athlete at Nebraska could be. As a student member of the Nebraska atheltic board during th year 190ft-1900, I fought alongside of Sidney for pur ath letics. He was looked upon as an example of the men who should represent the stu dent body. Now It Is charged that he waa paid I2S0 for playing foot ball during that very season, when he was a member of the athletic board and was aiding his esteemed friend Dr. Clapp to protect tho name of old Nebraska from the stigma ' of Impure athletics. Doablr Bad, If Trie. If Collins actually did receive money oh, how can one Imagine a case worse that his. Posed as sn example of honesty In students' athletics, yet receiving money for his services the worst offense an athlete could commit But do the students and the alumni who have known Sidney Collins believe he would stoop to such a level? No. When w were In school with that young fellow w felt we were shoulder to shoulder with a man who was doing right. Most of the alumni still believe Collins honest, and tt Is for that reason that we wish th bottom pulled out of the chsrges against him. Collins was a factor tn winning from Kansas last, fall on th. gridiron. He helped defeat Ames, la., and waa a big tower in holding Minnesota to a tts score In the fall of lTKtt. If he Is guilty of accepting money for his athletic services, Nebraska . owes an apology to all the schools with whom the Cornhuskers have competed in foot ball since Collins waa paid that money. Dlsa-raea to Nebraska. Think of old Nebrska bowing Its head In disgrace because en of Its best athletes took tainted coin. Better, far better that he had never been a member of on of the teams if this actually be true. Far better, too, that he had worked during the summer or used his prowess at base ball or some other professional sport. But taking money for his services and then posing as an example of highest honesty In coilnfre athletics. Oh, If Collins actu ally did get the money, w all may ax claim, "Wher has Dr. Clapp been keep Ing himself? A new man surely must be placed at the head of Nebraska athletics who can prevent the downfall of our best athletes Perhaps Dr. Clapp has been too busy Interpreting Missouri Valley con ference rule to the detriment of his own Institution. . Get busy. Dr. Clapp, and watch your own protege. Get your wash out earlier In the week, so tha neighbors will not see the dirty skirts." It might be remarked that It seems strange Thet Nu Epullon should b brought Into this Collins matter. But tt Is not strange. If this caa had gone on without a mention of that mysterious organization, a doctor would have been reeded In several places. It Is but natural that T. N. E. should be brought Into the affair. Poor old T. N. E., how many crimes thou hast cummltteed! From facta I have gathered I am certain that T. N. E. learns with surprise of the Collins charg". If there Is any such an or ganisation as T. N. E.. Its members really ought to get busy and take a share of th rewards. It Is blamed for every naughty thing done at Nebraska I do not believe T. N. E. ever figured In any deal at Ne braska during the last flv or six years. Of course, ss soon as this article Is pub lished, I will be accused of being a mem ber of that society. It must make T. N. E. laugh when such occurs. But I run away from th course. Whether T. N. E. is in this deal or not fl know It is not). It is up to Dr. Clapp, as head of Indoor athletics, to push the in vestigation of the Collins charges. Xot Fair to Dr. Laea. Dr. James T. Lees waa kept from going on tha athletic board because Dr. Clapp did not want him there. Dr. Clapp uaed Sidney Collins as his tool to inflcenee members of the faculty to keep Dr. Lees from receiving the appointment to mem bershlp. If Collins received money for Dandruff, ftchlng Scalp and Falling Hair Stopped. Tier la on psae wbar WMbsadasM tnea asm, and fat h ha tS front rvw seats of fk theatre.

H. E if such Is the case, what can we of the alumni think of Collins, of Dr. Clapp, of their kind. If "Idney Collins was paid money for serving in IS". Dr. Lees hsd nothing to do with paying him the money. Dr. Lees was not a member of the board then. Collins and a few others had. the previous spring, led the fight which pulled Iees and good old Captain Workxer from the board. . The men who laid the charges against Collins before Chancellor Avery must have had evidence of that athlete's guilt. Ne braska cannot afford to let th matter rest Nebraska must not let it rest. There Is said to be evidence against Collins which can be obtained with little work, "There Is said to be." understand me. Dr. Clapp must push the Investigation at once. The annual Missouri Valley con ference meet Is less than two weeks away. If Collins Is guilty, he must not compete In that event If he Is guilty, the evidence can be presented within at short time. Call for Immediate' Action. The alumni call upon the Nebraska ath letic authorities to get busy at once. These men mho prevented the election of Dr. Lees to the board as member next year should be the first men to call for an In vestigation. This means that Dr. Clapp should lead all the rest. Will Dr. Clapp come forward and do his duty? The chancellor should place Dr. Clapp at the head of the Investigating committee, and let ft, not be a committee like that which was appointed from the senste to declare Senator William Lortmer regularly elected to his seat In that great body which makes our laws when It If not busy doing something else. Above all things, do not permit Collins to be Lorlmerlied. We of the alumni call upon Dr. Clapp to get busy. Tours very truly. CLYDE E. ELLIOTT. Nebraska, '09. Commission Ruling on Discrimination Raises Phone Rates Interstate Commerce Body's First Act Under New Law Far Reaching' in Effect WASHINGTON. May 15. A policy pur sued generally by telephone companies re ceived a vital blow when tha Interstate Commerce commission, In a decision mad public today held that "as between sub scribers to a telephone service who are similarly situated, nothing but a difference in the service rendered or facilities furn ished can Justify a difference in the charges exacted." Tho decision prepared by Commissioner Harlan, was In the case of Willi an D. Shoemaker of Drummond, Md., against the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone company, the first telephone case considered by the commission since congress placed telephone companies aa common carriers, under the commission's Jurisdiction. Shoemaker declined to sign the residence telephone contract presented because th charge demanded --the regular Washington rate was materially higher than paid for th same service by twenty-seven neigh bors in Drummond. old subscribers who had contracted with th company when It oper ated the now abandoned exchange at Drum mond. Th complainant maintained that th rata waa unlawful and discriminatory, but did not aver unreasonableness The commission uphold hi attitude as. fentirely sound." It bald: -, ( :. - . . "Th contracts between" old subscribers and the defendant, even though valid when made, cannot after congress has under taken to regulate the rates and tn-actlcea of telephone companies be accepted as now Justifying different charges as between dif ferent subscribers slmllsrly situated, such undue discrimination being forbidden mr the act." Curiously the ordered discontinuance of this discrimination will Increase th com pany's revenues as It necessitates Increas ing the rates of the twenty-seven old sub scribers to' conform to current rates.
