President Robertson presented a long re port to the delegates on behalf of the out going executive committee, saying It was not a question of doubt any longer that the association has outgrown Its constitu tion, and the outgoing committee desired 'to reccjmmend several changes. The first related to the representation of members without distinction to class. It Is proposed that In the future the distinction between the associate members and the allied mem bers of the association may be done away with. The second recommendation related to the subject of proxies. The principal Change In this respect Is that no person shall represent a club at a meeting of which he Is not a member. Chances la Ploying; Rales. ' There will be changes in the way of playing chasoplonshlp matches. Under the present rule the qualifying round played y on the first day eonslsts of thlrty-stx holes. The suggestion I that the rules be changed so as to make the qualifying round played on the opening day -consist of eighteen holes, the best sixty-four scores to qualify. The sixty-four playsrs qualifying are to continue playing over the elghteen-hole course until but two players are left. The two surviving players are to qualify for the final round, which shall consist of thlrty-slx fcblss. In the event of ties the players so tied pre to keep on playing until one shall have gained a hole. The proposition to Invite an English team from the Oxford and Cambridge so cieties of Englsnd to come here during the coming sesson and compete with American teams was laid on the Ubls.

Tralhed to the minute and esrh with a strong backing in the sporting fraternity the two featherweights, Eddie Gardner and Hatch Smith, will meet In the tins; at Washington hall tonight and go ten rounds, Queennhsrry rule. Everything le ready for the slTalr and all r'resagea a good evening'e sport. The pre Imlnary between Danny Haley and Paul Murray la alone attracting attention, for It la seldom that a middleweight bout, and especially one between two ouch recognised boxers, can be secured for an opener. Gardner and Smith are both merely welt ing now, and have been for the last two days. Gardner has had a hard tight to make weight. It having been necessary for him to work Off about eleven pounds, but Manager Ouptlll stated last night that Eddie had made the 124 pounds on Tuesday night, and was not taking any more chances with his hands In the ring since that time. His work during Wednesday and Thursday was a Jog of ten miles each day on the road, followed by indoor stunts at rope-skipping and light exercises. Today ha will rest about ail day. He has not had the gloves on since Tuesday. Smith was always below the limit and has had no trouble on that score. His chief task has been keeping in good condition without going over the edge. Ilia man agers, however, say that he Is In prime shape right now, not over-trained, not gone soft nor lax; In fact. Just right. They also say that the colored boy has recently made a hobby of alternating that well known right arm punch with one equally vicious from the otner side. , Smith's punches are admitted tn be de moralising If they land. In the Whlttaker fight they did not find the mark, merely because Whlttaker would not step up and fight. He refused throughout to take a single chance of being hit about the head. But that Is never Gardner's style. He Is alwavs forcing it and In clear up to the neck, but depends for safety -upon another point, his superb defense. This, nis oacK ers say, will render him Invulnerable to Smith's terrible blows. Everyone who saw Gardner mix It for twenty rounds with Ole Oieson at South Omaha and stop every one of the Chlcagoan s uppercuts ana a large majority of his punches and swings believes In Gardner's standing as one of the best guarded men In the ring, but whether that will avail him tonight la to be determined.

I0DIFIES MURDER CHARGE State Concludei Beoond Degree Will Answer for Eader Kina, SAIDY'S COUSIN IS FIRST WITNESS Marderrd Assyrian's Relative Tries te Threw Some Light la Dark Places Interpreter a Crater of Attraction. The county attorney announced yesterday at the beginning of the trial of Bader Mtna, alleged to have participated In the kilting of Najeeb Saldy In front of her store st 141 South Thirteenth street, November 20, that he would ask only for a verdict of murder In the second degree, but that he would in sist on that. The indictment had charged murder in the first degree. In forecsstlng his line of prosecution the county attorney Implied that he would seek to show thst Mrs. Mlna brought' from her store the knife with which Joe Bardaweel stabbed Saldy. The attorneys for the de fense stated that they would prove that Bardaweel was chssed nearly two blocks by s crowd of six or more who, with clubs, sought to beat him seriously; thst he was cornered near the Mlna store; that after his club had been splintered In hie hsnd he took his knife from his pocket and stsbbed Saldy In selfdefense snd thst during all this time Mrs. Mlna wss In the rear of her store and did not appear until Saldy was dead and Bardaweel about to flee. Joseph Saldy, whose father Is a brother of the dead men's mother, was put on the stand sa the Only witness of ths afternoon. He testified thst Najeeb bad come to Omaha directly from Assyria snd that he had been here only five weeks when stabbed. He was not present at the fight In which hte cousin was killed,- but ran to It later. Another cousin of the dead man will be put on the tand this morning, and about twenty other members of the colony are to be heard in the course of the trial. Very few of them can speak English and Minnie Ablan hss been engsged as interpreter. Minnie is an Assyrian girl about 20 years old and is ac quainted with not only the English lang uage, but French perfumes and American ways, and she promises to be one of the In teresting features of tbe trial. v Defendnnt In at Ease. Among those present In the court room the one who appeared to be least disturbed wss the defendant, who sat In her chaii all morning with two small children playing st her knees and over tbe court room floor. Others of the colony sat apart from her, the young people dressed In gayest colors and the elders In silks snd suits that were evidently the best their wardrobes af forded. Mrs. Mlna is tawny, apparently not more than 40 years old, and dressss more severely than most of the others. Bardaweel Still Missing;. Bardaweel ran away when the patrol wagon was sighted and has not since been located, although Mlnter Bylastro has re cently reported that he ssw him In New York on December 6, and It Is believed that he went back to the old country. The be ginning of the trial has revived Interest In his whereabouts and many of the Assyrians here are said to he anxious for his cspture and to have spoken to the pollee lately ss to the advisability of attempting to locate him In the old country. Chief Donahue said yesterday: "All that could have been done we have done to apprehend the man. The last we heard of him was a re port that he had been seen In New York and had taken ship for his old home. It the report Is true -It would bea difficult matter to get him. In fact, it would be al most impossible. " It may be, however,' that the report is not true and, that we will yet arrest him. At present we are not making any systematlo search. We are awaiting developments." LIBRARY BOARD BUSINESS Dlstrlbntlnsr Station to Be Established la Northern Section of City. , ' The regular monthly meeting of ths library board was held last night, with all members present, excepting Mr. Leevltt. A proposition from a Lincoln firm of adver tising agents to furnish monthly bulletins in return for the privilege of exploiting the cover pages for advertising was de clined as contrary to tbe policy of the board. A change was mads in the rul so as to provide for keeping the library open every day In the year, except Christ mas day and the Fourth of July, tbe hours for Sundays and legal holidays being the same as at present on Sundays, without ths privilege of drawing books for home use on these days. The board also Instructed the librarian to make ' arrangements to establish and maintain a station for the distribution of books in the vicinity of Ames avenue and Twenty-fourth street. This was In re sponse to a request made some time ago by the North Omaha Improvement club for a branch library. Not being prepared to open a new library, the board decided oa ths station In Its place for the present. A resolution was adopted gratefully ao knowledglng the work of ths Omaha Woman's club for decorating the children's room, but requesting that plans for future decorations bs submitted for ths board's endorsement. The monthly report of the librarian was received and bills aggregat ing $1,64 audited for payment. TO BE SISTERS OF MERCY Three Taaag Women Take White Veil at Hoant Saint Mary's Academy.

Whlln It Is true, as I . have stated, that the production of grain within the terri tory I represent has not Increased as rap- Idly as Its population. It le an encouraging fact that Its raanufactures, Its commerce and Its banking facilities have Increased more rapidly than In the nation at large. The United States Increased its manufac tured products 10 per cent oeiween im and 1R90, but the states for which 1 spenlt Increased thelr's 112 per cent during the same period.

Now, individual deposits In the same class of banks exceed by loO per cent the value of these cereals dis posed of by the producers thereof. Manifestly the banks of the eastern metropolis hold more western money than they nave on aeposu in western banks, but It la eauallv true that the east has contributed generally to western Industries and enterprises.

They , embody the views of those engaged in the practical affairs of commerce at home and abroad, and nave been searcningiy ex amined and amended by former and pres ent ofllclals of the State department and by those familiar with the actual needs of the service. These bills are complete and ask for all that Is needed for the full and com plete reorganisation of the system. Briefly analyzed they provide: First.

Reclamation of Arid Reg-tons. The next speaker was M. Henry Msrou. French consul In Chicago, who dwelt briefly on "Reciprocity with Frsnos," Judge C. J. Gavin of New Mexico spoke upon "Re clamation ot the Arid Regions of the West." He said la part: Nearly all the available government lands within the rain belt is gone and of the remaining 600,000.000, one-sixth of the area is susceptible of irrigation, it steps sre taken by the government to save the forests and store the floods. Something must be done to satisfy the hunger for homes. Down In Oklahoma, at the recent opening of Indian lands, there were about 13,000 quarter sections of land for disposal, and over lWi.OUO applicants. This illustrates to you something of what this Innate desire for the home la In the ordinary American citlxen. The government owns the land, the water and the forests; it can save the forests, store the water, and so render salable and habitable the lands to bonaflde settlers and homeseekers, under such restrictions and terms as are Just and equitable, and for such a price as will cover all expenses of rendering the land tillable. It would be simply Investing a part of the nearly f4ou,uu0,00o the government has received from the sale of Ita western lands for the trine being, until these sturdy pioneers could pay for the came, every cent tne government expends, and give thetn an opportunity to build up an agricultural empire aa they did elsewhere In their west ward march from the shores of the At lantic.
