Voting Men's Christian association floor
this sesson, and on which the Tri-City

lat evening by the Townaends over the
Clarks. S9 to 12. Both teams put up a
brand of playing aeldom witnessed In
local cltvlcs. the contest spcmlnc In doubt
unill the last five minutes of play.
The Clorks were the first to score, on
a free throw made by Meyers. Burken
rond of the Townsenda reciprocated by a
perfert henve from the ten-yard mark.
The Ounners aeemed more apt In making
free throws, Buikenroad tossing three
more In the next five minutes of play.
The first basket was shot by Obie
Meyers, who made a difficult throw from
near tlie center of .the court. Koran
came back with another two-pointer that
clipped the hoop, cloaoly followed by a
sensational flip of WUie, which brought
the total to 6 to 5 in favor of the Town
sends. ' (issnen C.et Lead.
As fast as the Gunners annexed a cou
pla of tallica the Clarke seemed to fol
low suit, "which again brought the total
up to 10 and 9 toward the close of the
first semester In the Townaends favor.
As the. half ncared the close the Gunners
made a sudden tpai t, getting away with
six points In a rush, the period finally
closing with the Ounners on the big end
of a IS to 9 score.
The Clarks took a sudden reverse In
their playlnjj In the second period. Un
able to cover their men, the 'Townsends
rapidly ran up their total, and although
the Clarks came back with a rush for a
short time, -they found tt - imposs'ble to
overtake the lead of their or .ts.
In thl period the Clarke-were so clos iy
guarded by the Gunners that all th
players tried for unusually lonr; shots,
which they seldom negotiated. Short,
Ughtnlnt?-.'iko passes and excellent team
work featured the' Townsends' play In
thfs period.
Features of the Play.
Warren Howard, the cx-Cornhuaker
star, played one of the best guarding
ga'mes seen on an Omnha floor for some
time, his work In this respect keeping
the Townsends from piling up what
otherwise might have been a much larger
score. The aggressive work of Hughes
and Burkenroad .featured for the Town
sends, the free Koal throwing of Burken
road beintt unusually good, the forward
slipping the ball throush the rim eleven

said be, "ought to be recognized, and 1
entertain the hope, or more than that, I
may say. 1 feel the certainty that we
would be able to have the countries at
war agree In establishing a rule that dur
ing the present war no vessel engaged
exclusively In the trade between Ameri
can ports shall be subject tar search, de?
tention or capture by a 'belligerent," no
matter what flag It flics, ao long as it
is engaged In that commerce.
"With such a rule we should be able,
to obtain all the vessels we need for the
promotion of our .commerce with, the
United States and the other American re
pu biles, to the maximum developing as a
consequence of our friendly relations with
all of them and lessening the sorrowful
conditions .created. by that war."
The need of Immediate expansion In the
commercial, relations between the United
Stales and Argentina was voiced by Am
bassador Naon.
In a discussion of trade expansion and
the European war Edward Fllene of Bos
ton outlined how he thought American
business men could participate. In bring
ing about peace.
'it becomes apparent that great ex
ertion and great expense for foreign trade
expansion must, be accompanied by at
least crytal exertion to make the terms
of settlement of the present great war
such that Europe will not remain an
armed camp," he said.
"As responsible business men we should
ask ourselves, What can we do, what
can the United Stales do to help bring
about the riKht terms of settlement of
the war?' Thla struggle Is ao fierce that
at present there seems to be no oppor
tunity for any outside interference, hpw
ever well intended.
"If the United States Is to have any
direct Influence In the terms of settle
ment of the war, much Influence will
depend largely on the faith the warring
nations have in our fairness and Justice.
We must play the game straight and not
try to take unfair advantages of the pres
ent export trade helplessness of any of
the lighting nations."

NEW ENGLAND LEAGUE TO,

BOSTON. Feb. The New England

cities and become a six-club circuit re
reived no support.

Aside from the letter of gift, transfer
ring $100,000,000 to the Rockefeller founda
tion, Mr. Rockefeller knew of no other
deed to the money. He said he "had never
worried" about the money reverting to
himself or his heirs after his death, In
case the legislature should revoke the
charter.
"And I have great faith In the Ameri
can people," he said. "In the people lies'
our protection."
Men lie Pick.
Concerning Ms personal staff, he said:
"I have always tried to select clean
young men with ambition to make their 1
way in ' the world. From these young
men I shall select the future heads of the
business."
Mr. Rockefeller said he had met Charles
V. Kliot. president emeritus of Harvard
university, twice. lie did not know how
many time a year he used to see Mr.
Gates, who attended to all his personal
business
Mr. Rockefeller testified lie had never
attended a meeting of the directors of the
Rockefeller foundation. lie sometimes
communicated with tha directors through
his son. He thought he had no more right
In the board than any of the other
director.
Reverting to the meeting with Mr. King
at Tarry town, Mr. Rockefeller said that
ha did not recall that the labor troubles
In Colorado were discussed. Tie did not
think they were.
Director ot Responsible.
Directors, he believed, did not have any
responsibility for labor conditions in a
corporation. He did not know whether
it was advisable that directors should re
ceive reports on labor conditions. He
would accord to all iiten, he. said, the
right to organise "so long aa they regard
the law and the rublic in general."
' "J believe the best way to help the
laboring man," Mr. Rockefeller raid, "is
to give him good wages rather than havO
hint become the object of charity.
"I would be only too happy." the wit
ness said, in answer to a question, "to
surrender my holdings In whole or la
part if the workers could come Into the
boards of directors and get the profits'.
I would be very happy to think that the
laborers were my partners."
Mr. Rockefeller said he had thought of
many plans by whhh stock and owner
ship could be transferred to the workers.
Didn't Go Into Details.
As for Colorado, he said he did not go
Into the cucgtlon of grievances or "other
details." He had not seen a list of the
grievances which the eniner addressed
to the Colorado Fuel and Iron company,
nor had he ever been advised of any of
the claims of employes in the Industries
in which he was Interested.
He favored organisation of men, he
said, "as I would never deny to any man
the things I felt at liberty to do myself."
Charrman Walsh read to the witness
the testimony of John D. Rockefeller, Jr.,
Icfore a congreaslonal committee, tn
which he declared that the tamps of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company should
be kept open and that the company
would stand by the executive officers.
"I believe." said Mr. Rooks feller, "that
the employer should always stand by his
faithful employe."
Mr. Rockefeller was than permanently
excused. As he left the stsnd lie sxld, "I
thank you. gentlemen."
snow and cuts were drifted level with the
surrounding country. In the cuts the
snow had drifted to a depth of from two
to ton feet and In many instances the
drifts were from M0 1o HW feet In length.
Thursday the snowploiys were run
through these drnfts sewn and eight

Deep Drift.
In the yards at Bonesteel and Winner
the snow was drittnd to a depth of six to
ten feet and. In order to get cars out it
will be necessary to shovel through.
On the Omaha road from Blnlr to Sioux
City and acrora from Emerson to Norfolk
there wss from twelve to fifteen Inches
of snow on. the ground prior to the be
ginning of the present storm. This storm
sdded ten or more lacnea, and with thlj
great body of snow moving, cuts have
been filled to their tops and packed In
until It Is about aa hard aa Ice.
Along the Burlington the atorm appears
to have been the most severe on the Al
liance division, where from twelve to
eighteen inches of snow fell Thursday
and Thursday night, with still more fall
ing during all of yesterday. This was
driven along by a thirty-mile wind,
completely filling up all cuts and low
places. Cuts eight, ten and twelve feet
deep, and somo of them 800 to 1,000 feet
long, were filled to a level with the sur
rounding country. This condition extended
as far east as Broken Boa. Hast of there
the wind was strong, but the fall of snow
was lighter and the old snow was held
in place by the thaw of Thursday.
Branch Lines Tied V p.
Burlington branch fines north of the
Platte were completely tied up, but on
those south train service was maintained,
though nothing was run on schedule.
Little effott will be made to open the
road until the storm abates.
Railroad men hear that at Ploux City
and north and east the blizzard Is raging
with frreater fury than over Nebraska

better to buck the drifts, but after mak
