St Hase 111th nuId Foot nln G.le5
for the ComlllS SCluon.
Numerous attempts have been male from
lime to time to establish an amateur ath-
tme establsh
lotlc club In Omahl. For various reasons
none oC these attempts have met with the
success desired. Just what these reasons are
It Is . at present needless to sa ) Some time
ago a number \ oC young men got together and i
after discussing the need oC puck organiza-
ton as mentioned above , and aCer canvass-
Ing the attempts already made looking tor
ward Its establishment , conceived the
Idea oC starting a club \ which would combine
all the essential elements oC both \ an amateur
athletic and a university club anti thus ap-
peal to a much larger constituency than
either one alono.
A number oC meetngs wore held and the
various details discussed until It appeared to
be a porCccly feasible thing to do and It was
unanimously decided 10 put the 1)1:1 : Into
immediate operation.
Articles of Incorlloratoln embodying the
main features cf the two classes oC organiza-
tons were drawn UI and adopted , providing
mnons- other things that the name ot the new
organization should bo the University oC '
Omaha.
Probably no better idea oC the exact purpose - '
pose oC the crganizatimh can be given than
by quoting from the articles thcmse'cs.
Article Iv provides as follows : "Tho general -
oral nature oC the business to bo Iransaclod
by this corporation shall be the maintainIng -
bug ot al athletic park and also ot a club
bulhlnl or club room In the county oC Doug-
las , In the state oC Nebraska , for the use of
stockholders and others under proper regu-
latolns to bo adopted by mho board of di-
reclors. Said athletic park and club house
and club rooms and the proceeds thereof to
be used for Ibo purpose oC establishing and
promoting amateur athletic sports ot all
kinds . and for Ibo purpose oC creating and
fostering I more extensive acqualnlance-
Ihlll and social intercourse among the col-
lege men oC the state ot Nebraska "
I will bo seen that the purpose oC the
organization Is as much 10 further the Interests -
terests oC amateur athletics al anything else ,
I Ul.'ed , until next winter I Is the intention
to devote the entire enerGies of the club to
the interests of outllcor amateur athletic
sports . An view oC this fact two radical
departures have been made from the plans
heretofore followed 11 this city . In the
arst place the initiation fro has been reduced -
ducd to $5 , and the annual dues thereafter
to $5 per year : the initiation fee comprising
also the Innual due for the frt ) 'oa ot
memberlhlp. 11 addition to this the stockholders -
holders cannot ho assessed , so that file highest .
est amount for which n member may become
liable can never exceed the son of $5 In alY
010 ) 'eal. This , It wl bo Seem , Is a radIcal
departure from the policy heretofore . adopted
by athlete clubs II thus city .
There Is also I radical , depariliro from the
lines oC the ordinary university club In that
there are honorary and associate mem\cr \
lS will appear from the following quotation
from article 6 : "Tbo stockholders oC this
corporation shall be known ss active , ASSO-
cale and honorary as follows : Any male
person who shall be a regular graduate oC
the colrglato 01 any professional depart-
ment oC any reputable college or unh'cnly.
or who shall have been at least Iwo years
actually engaged In the pursuit oC collegiate
.or professional studies In I reputable col.
lego " 1 ullv01lty , mi ) become an active
member. Any ) male person of the ago oC
1 years or upward who shall bo oC good
repute may becole an associate member.
Any male person ) who baa attained dlatncton
tea-
' 10rly oC the board oC directors la lunclent
t enable hint to I membership In this cor-
.at/
pOlton , may become an honorary member. I
Provlded howevcr that In all cases It shall
be I necessary prerequisite of membership
that the candidate shall have purchased and
paid for In full at least one share of the
stock oC this corporation , and provided fur-
ther that the application oC every candidate
shall bo approved \ a majoriy vote of the
board oC directors , and provided further . that
the present board If directors shall have
power , and Is hereby directed upon the first
Monday of January . 1896. to prepare and
execute an amendment to these articles of
, Incorporaton , providing either for the con-
tnuanco or the extinction of associate mem-
borahlps In thIs salll corporation. "
I will be seen from the above that the
purpose Is to try the experiment of having
associate memberships \ without incorporating
the provision absolutely Into the articles
until the success of the plan has ben demon-
slrated. OC course these associate members
who join during this year will retain all
their rights as members so long as they com-
ply with the regulations the same a the
active members , the honorary degree will , oC
COllI'Se permanent. 'Chese are the main
features oC the new club . The plans for the
coming season are already made , and cer-
talnlY hold out alluring Inducements to all
the amateur athletes oC the city. Grounds
second to none In the city have already been
scoured and arrangements made for the erec-
ton oC fences , grand stand , and other necessary -
sary buldlng . Correspondence has been
going on for two months with all the lead-
lug universities of the avest Including Mich-
Igan , Chicago , Northwestern Iowa , Minnesota .
Kansas , Nebraska and , Grinnell college . with
the object oC arranging a series of base bal
games with the best ot them In Omaha this
spring The \asl \ bal manager has already
commenced work 01 a midsummer trip for
the bate bal team , to extend to the Pacific
coast : and occupy a period oC about Iwo
weeks , while the Coot bal manager IJas )
practically arranged a' trip for the root bal
team , which embraces all of the principal
cites between Omaha and Seattle.
During the summer and Cal the entire attention -
tmtlon oC the cmcerC oC the club wi be directed -
rected toward the success of the base bal
anl foot hal teams but \ as son as mho feet
ball season closes club rooms will be fitted

today after the staggering blow dealt It yesterday -

SAN FRANCISCO . Feb 1G . The Cal

Honolulu : The success oC time Hawaiian
government In conducting the treason cases
was duo to time crhnlnatng evidence given by
Captain Davies of limo steamer Walmamiolo .
The manner In which this sworn statement
was wrung from Davies Is interesting as
showing time pecular legal process at present
lxlstn ! In time Hawaiian tclands 1 . Davies
alll , his .mate , Knudsen , were arrested on time
morning or January 6. Knudsen made a con-
feulon , telling what Ito ho know Davies ,
who Is an American citizen , reused to give
information and while his
any Informaton , , whie protesting
Innocence , demanded an Inlcrvlew with the
United States Minister . Davies was then
tallen Into the prison yard where he was
shown two ring bolts In the wall above his
lmead. The udformed InquisItors of the goy
ernment then gave the captain to understand
that If a complete confession was not rorth-
coming he would be slung up by time
thumbs. Davies did not fnch , but determined . t
mined that i the Amerlcal minister could
; not come limo consul general hould bo informed -
formed that ho was an American citizen and
wl8hed to leo Imhn Il protests were In
vain his legs were hound below mho Ilees
and gds thumt3 were lashed with whip cord
to the ring bolts. A box was placed below ,
him 10 that limo man's toes just touched it .
Davies was stripped to the waist . while Mar-
shal lIchcoclr , Attorney Gcneral Smith and
Surgeon Cooper with a stenographer , awaited
lima statement which they believed would be
shortly forlhcomlng. They were mistaken
