GOING AFTER
AUDITOR HOWARD
OFFICIAL AND FRIENDS OF IN
SURANCE AT LOGGERHEADS.
SENDS OUT CIRCULAR LETTER
In Public Statement Palmer Link*
Howard With Powerful Insur
ance Lobby.
Lincoln.—State Auditor Howard
and the friends of the code commission
draft of the insurance laws of Ne
braska are definitely at loggerheads
and the issue between them will play
a prominent part in the discussion ot
the insurance code bill in the house
The measure has already gone through
the senate, somewhat amended, and
has been pushed ahead in the house
uutil it was sifted by the sifting com
mittee without any trouble and is now
the order of business.
The progress of this bill has been
marked with increasing bitterness.
For a month the senate insurance
committee listened to the protests ol
insurance representatives, but the bill
went through the upper house with
out serious change. Members of the
house committee attended part of the
session of- the senate committee and
when the bill came before the house
committee it undertook to consider
the measure without any hearings,
giving as a reason the lateness of the
session and the dangers of delay. Pro
tests over this attitude caused the
committee to grant one hearing,
which was attended by half a hun
dred insurance company represents
tives. McKissick of the committee
presented a hundred amendments
asked hv some of the companies, and
himself voted against a part of thejjfc
Some of these amendments had al
ready been made in the senate and
most of the others were voted down
in committee. The bill was on gen
eral file in the house only two or
three days before it. was lifted by the
sifting committee.
The hill seeks to take the insur
ance department away from the hudi
tor and put it under a board com
posed of the governor, the attorney
general and the auditor. Mr. Howard
stated to Senator Cordeal that he did
not approve cf this change and that
it beheaded the auditor’s office. An
effort to amend the bill in the senate
to leave the department in the hands
of the auditor was defeated by the
most narrow margin of any amend
ment presented in that house and de
feated.
The Auditor’s Letter.
Later Auditor Howard sent a cir
cular letter to each of seventy-four
farm mutual companies doing busi
ness on the assessment plan, and
called their attention to provisions
which he said would put them out of
ousiness. These farm mutuals began
writing to house members asking that
the section be amended or the bill
changed. When these members called
on the auditor, it is charged, he
urged that the death cf the entire bill
would be the best thing that could re
sult.
inis circular tetter irom me aua;
:or to the farm mutuals is made the
basis of a letter from the three mem
bers of the code commission to Chair
man Palmer of the insurance commis
sion of the house, and also the main
point made by Chairman Palmer in a
public statement mde recently. The
code commission declares that the let
ter of the auditor “amounts to a de
mand for the defeat of senate file 364
under threat of his official displeas
ure." Again the commission says:
‘An attempt of an official, clothed
with the inquisitorial powers over in
surance companies to influence the
action of a co-ordinate department of
the state government by threats so
transparent, is, to say the least, a fla
grant abuse of power.”
In his public statement Chairman
Palmer links the auditor with the
'powerful insurance lobby” that is
working against the bill and declares
that the circular letter is a "most de
liberate and outrageous attempt to
coerce and deceive.” He charges that
the auditor quoted lines in the bill as
affecting farm mutuals which have no
application and that he purposely
emitted other lines immediately fol
lowing which did affect the farm mu
tuals and not in any harmful manner.

HINCHMAN GIVES HIS PLANS
Old Cleveland Player, Now Manager
of Columbus Team, Has Some
Unique Ideas of His Own.
Can a man of William Hinchman’s
temperament make good as a mana
ger of an American association base
ball club? In view of the undisputed
fact that some have doubt as to his
ability to make good, Hinchman's
own answer may be interesting. The
question was put at. him squarely
some time ago and he replied thus:
‘I may be counted as a quiet ball
player and lacking aggressiveness. I
have always decided while a player
to keep my mouth shut and play ball.
■Vow that 1 am manager it’s up to me
to do the talking and running of the
team and I propose to do it with just
as much success as I had in minding
my own business when a player. 1
want to succeed and to succeed one
must have a winning ball team. I in
tend to be a ginger jar and to have
control of my club in a quiet, firm
way. It’s up to me to make good or
fail to realize my ambition of becom
ing a good manager.”
The disposition of George Perring
an the team this spring will be inter
esting to watch. It is the intention
Bill Hinchman.
if the management to start Pete
Johns at third base, his natural posi
lion. There is a vacancy at second
base and Perring may be switched
:here or to the outfield. Miller has
made good at first base, so there is
ao opening at that spot. That a place
will be found for Perring is certain.
He can hit too well and do too many
winning stunts to leave him off the
batting order.
Thresher is one of the leading candi
dates for right field. He comes very
highly recommended and will be
planted in right, where Congalton
used to hold forth. If Johns' attempt
to make good at third fails, of course
he will go back to right.
Manager Hughie Jennings favors
Gulfport, Miss., as the permanent

"A good pitching staff means a

GOTCH MEETS CHIEF TWO FEATHERS
Scissors Hold and Half Nelson.

wrestling centers of the Pacific coast
in 1903. Native Montanans did not be
lieve the world possessed a wrestler
who could defeat this proud chief,
said to possess almost superhuman
strength and great endurance. Other
wrestlers turned pale at mention of
the Indian, but Gotch was seeking a
reputation and the American cham
pionship, and showed that lion-heart
ed courage that later brought him the
world's crown of the mat. He said
he would be glad to meet the Indian
and they were matched to battle to a
finish December 23 at Bellingham.
Wash.
“Gotch is a most unusual specimen
of athletic bravery," says Farmer
Burns. "Other champions have al
ways been afrand of losing their titles.
Gotch seems never to have thought of
such a thing. Whether his challenger
were an Indian, a Turk, a Russian
Lion or a wild man from Borneo, they
have all looked alike to the man from
Humboldt. He has been willing to
meet them all and fight them to a fin
ish. Gotch knows no fear on the mat.”
With all the marks of a chieftain of
his tribe, garbed in a many-colored
robe of beads, weighing 215 pounds
and standing six feet five inches in
his moccasins, Two Feathers present
ed an imposing appearance. In this
memorable battle he showed great
confidence, but Gotch taught him that
the white man who had driven his
forefathers back into the plains was
the physical and athletic superior of
the red man.
At the call of time they went to the
center of the mat, shook hands and
sparred for a hold. In less than a
minute the Indian had rushed in and
slaihmed the Iowa boy to the mat.

: been able to equal since that match.
Two Feathers showed he lacked a
knowledge of the wrestling game, but
: his great strength and reach enabled
him to fasten dangerous holds to
Gotch which the latter managed to
break after struggling around the mat.
Gotch finally darted out and wrestled
Two Feathers to the canvas. It was
at this point that the weakness of the
red man was apparent. He wms not
strong as a defensive wrestler. Gotch
secured a hammerlock, but the Indian
broke the grip after a struggle. Gotch
tried to fasten a crotch and half-nel
son to him, but discovered this was
difficult to ‘do on account of his op
ponent’s great height and reach.
Gotch figured it out that the scis
sors could be worked on the Indian.
He pushed down Two Feathers’ head,
and as he arose jumped in and fast
ened a scissors on the sinewy form.
Two Feathers struggled desperately,
but to no avail. Slowly but surely
: Gotch pushed the red man’s shoulders
to the mat for the first fall, after
nearly forty minutes of desperate
struggling.
Two Feathers tossed Gotch to the
mat several times in the second bout,
but the brain of the Iowa boy had
proved master of the superior weight

FEW ATHLETICS STRIKE OUT
Few Pitchers Felt Comfortable While
Facing Clan of Connie Mack—
Coombs' Good Record.
Even though the Athletics did not
win the pennant in the American
league last season, there were few
pitchers who felt comfortable while'
they were facing the clan of Mack. ]
The White Elephants brought woe to
many pitchers last year, and again
led the American league in team hit- j
ting. Mack's artists also did little j
striking out.
When they stacked up against such j
flingers as Ed Walsh, Walter Johnson, |
etc., there was more or less whiffing J
in the Mack ranks, but the Athletics
as a team punctured the air less than
any other club in the American league |
last season. The Browns were the
demon club-swinging specialists in the '
American league in 1912, pounding j
the ozone 783 times last season. Clark
Griffith also had a bunch of whiffers j
on his Washington team. Griffith saw ,
751 of his men do the Gus Hill act j
last season.
The White Sox were the third eas
ist team to fan, whiffing 645 times.!
The Tigers were retired on strikes 604 j
times; the Highlanders and the Red
Sox, 585 times; the Naps, 571 times.
Jack Coombs.
and the White Elephants, 562 times.
The club records of strike-outs were
kept last season, but the individual
records were not, though they will be j
kept in the coming campaign, and then i
fans will be able to learn who was
the hardest man to retire on strikes.
When Napoleon Lajoie was in his ;
prime he seldom struck out more
than ten times a season, and last year !
he did not succumb often. Harry j
Davis, who led the American league
in home runs for several seasons, fre
quently struck out. Russell Ford of
New York, once made Connie Mack's
first lieutenant hit nothing but the air
four times in one game.
The greatest number of strike-outs
registered in an American league con
test last season was 15, Coombs,
Brown and Pennock, of the White
Elephants, claiming this number of
victories among the Detroit strike
breakers on May 18. In this contest
the Michigan team was routed, 24
to 2.
WADDELL FOOLS CONNIE MACK
John Ganzel Tells New Story About
Former Eccentric Pitcher of Phil
adelphia Athletics.
Manager John Ganzel of the Roch
ester club in the International league
tells another story of Rube Waddell,
the former eccentric pitcher of the
Philadelphia Athletics. Ganzel, who
never touches liquor in any form, had
gone into the barroom of the hotel
with a friend and ordered a glass of
ginger ale. Just then Waddell enter
ed with a companion and ordered a
beer.
Not one of the drinks had been
touched when Connie Mack, manager
of the Philadelphia Americans, and
aiso a teetotaler, stepped into the
barroom to use the telephone.
Connie spied the Rube, but not as
quickly as Rube had through the mir
ror back of the bar caught a flash of
the manager, to whom he had pledged
himself not to touch liquor all the
year.
With a quick motion Waddell ex
changed his beer for Ganzel’s ginger
ale, and, holding up the glass so that
Connie could see it, he said:
"I’m just having a little ginger ale,
Connie. Will you join me?”
"And in order to protect the Rube,"
said Ganzel, in telling the story, “I
had to drink the Rube’s beer, the first
and only alcoholic indulgence of my
life.”
Preparing for World’s Series.
Backed by organized ball, a bill has
been Introduced in the Pennsylvania
legislature prohibiting the sale of
amusement tickets for more than their
face value and providing other regula
tions to prevent ticket scalping. Un
der the bill, tickets can be sold only
by authorized agents. There is every
reason to believe the bill will pass
and if world series games are played
in Pennsylvania next fall there will
be no ticket scandal.
Over 400,000 Motorboats in Use.
Returns from a census recently tak
en by motorboat interests are said to
show that there are over 400,000 mo
torcraft of all sorts and sizes in usa
for work and play in the waters ol
this country and Canada. The count
is said to be the first thorough one
since the motorboat came into general
use with the perfection of marine en
gines ten years ago.
Says Chance Can Play.
Bonesetter Reece of Youngstown,
Ohio, slates that there is no reason
why Frank Chance should not play
regularly in the coming season if he
wants to get back into the game. Dr
Reese also thinks Miner Brown has
better than an even chance of making
good under Joe Tinker in Cincinnati
He has “doctored” both players at
different times.
Honolulu Ball Teams.
Honolulu has five baseball leagues,
none of which speak the same lan
guage. There is an American league
a Hawaiian league, a Portuguese
league, a Japanese league and a Chi
nese league.

The Canton (Interstate League)
Club has signed third baseman Forbes
Alcock of Worcester, O., and pitcher

HOUSE 700 YEARS OLD SOLD
Famous Oak Panels Will Be Exhibited
in London and Some May Be
Purchased by Americans.
London.—The famous old Elizabeth,
an mansion of Rotherwas, which is
seven centuries old and located near
Hereford, has been sold to a well
known art dealer of London, who has
bought all the historical paneling,
which, it is understood, is destined for
shipment to New York, though he is
very guarded in his reasons for ac
quiring the wonderful panels.
"I really don’t know yet where it is
going,” he said. "I have bought the
paneling and it is now being removed
It will first be exhibited in London
Entrance Gate of Old Elizabethan
Mansion of Rotherwas.
After that I don’t know. Thirteen
rooms want some disposing of, and
possibly some of them may be sent to
America, But so far there has been
no offer.”
However, it only requires one t'oi
the whole lot to go. The art dealer has
not acquired them “for the nation,”
but for the highest bidder.
Seven centuries have passed since
the building of Rotherwas, until last
year the seat of the Bodenhams, was
begun, and the most modern portion
was finished in 1731. It figured in
Domesday Book as "Retrowas." Twrelve
of the rooms were paneled with oak
and other woods of the fine quality
only to be found in Hereford and Wor.
jester. Oak. sycamore, acacia and yew
were employed singly and in combina
tion. Three of the rooms are Eliza

room, the James I. room, in which
James I. slept in 1G1S, and the ban
queting hall.
fEACHERS FOSE AS SPINSTERS
New York Woman, Whose Wedding Is
Discovered, Says Hundreds Do
the Same.
New York.—“Scores—yes, hundreds
—of women teachers in the New York
schools have married, yet are sup
posed to be single,” asserts Miss Hen
rietta Redman, a teacher of the Wad
leigh high school here, who really is
Mrs. Merman DeFremery, but who had
concealed the fact.
Mrs. DeFremery was following ad
vice which she had publicly given
to school teachers in proposing a
"silence strike” on the marriage ques
tion because the board of education
is declared to discriminate against
married teachers. She intended to
keep her own marriage, which was
celebrated at Norwalk, Conn., Feb
ruary 15, hidden until promotion
time. Mr. DeFremery is an employe
of the American Museum of National
History.
“Lots of married teachers are keep
ing their secrets better than I have
kept mine,” she said, “but it ought not
to be necessary. We are going to col
lect data that will show that wives
and mothers make just as good teach
ers as the girls who do not wed. This
penalizing of marriage for woman
wage-earners is uncivilized, out of
date and opposed to public policy.”

When Thursday Night Gayety at
Army Post Stops.
Chicago.—Frantic appeals for help
have been sent to Chicago employ
ment agencies by wealthy North shore
residents. A ‘‘servant famine,” the
most serious ever experienced by res
idents of Highland Park, Wilmette,
Glencoe and North shore suburbs, is
the forecast of a general exodus to
Chicago hotels.
The departure of the Fort Sheridan
troops to the border was the signal
for the exodus of female servants, who
missed the usual “Thursday” night
gayety at the army post.
For years back the soldiers of the
post, allowed a night of recreation
each week, set Thursday as the night
for the festivities. As a result Thurs
day was the generally accepted “off
night" for the help.
Chicago exchanges say that serv
ants for North shore suburbs will de
mand a premium.
BOY LOSES LEGS TWICE
Artificial Limbs Cut Off in Rescue
Effort in Same Manner Real
Ones Were.
Westbury, L. I.—William Fitting, a
nineteen-year-old lad, lost both of his
legs for a second time. The first time
was four years ago when he fell under
a Long Island railway train near the
station at Glen Head. On his artificial
limbs he was standing at the station
here when he saw a woman crossing
the tracks in front of an express train.
Recalling the accident which had
befallen him, he shouted a warning to
the woman, but she did not heed and
young Fitting stumped his way to the
tracks and dragged her from danger,
only to fall himself across the rails.
Other persons on the platform saw the
lad run over by the train, and when it
came to a stop they rushed to him,
expecting to find him fatally hurt. He
was picked up legless, but not in the
least wounded, as the locomotive
wheels had only broken off his wooden
legs.
