CIIirAOO, Doc. Oeutge II. Ketnham
of Toledo. O., wa found not guilty of
establishing a fraudulent record for his
trotting stallion Crcseeus nt the. Wlralta
(Kan.) trark on October 19, WO, after a
hearing of the rasa before the Hoard or
Apll of Amcrlran Trotting asoela
tlofi hers tonight. Tho board declared that
the evidence fell iihort of sufficiency In es
tablishing criminal participation In the
claimed fraudulent agreement for an
Illegitimate record, no fur as Mr. Ketcham
wai concerned. The decision says:
The utory detailed by Starter Jordan of
the Wichita track, who declared to the
imard thHt Mr. Ketcham hHd arranRnd with
him to Mi the lime of no tliat
the world's mile record would he broken la
not without considerable corroboration. In
inattrra of minor detail. We mum, how
ever, view the cese before tin wholly from
the evidence) we have, acknowledging that
the chief factor haa certainly convicted
himself of falsehood, and especially In view
i.f the sweeping ajid unequivocal denied
if direct or Indirect participation mad
by Mr. Ketcham, we mimt determine that
the evidence falls to establish his connec
tion with the fraud and Intrlgua lying at
the foundation of thla attempted record.
Fair Olflclala Kxpelled.
While freeing Mr. Ketcham from the
charge, the board found the offlclHla of
i lyi Bouthern Knnsss Fair association, on
ooa track the race was run, guilty of
4nnlvance to establish a fraudulent record,
txpejllng from the American Trotting aa
Hoclntlon President Irwin and all the other
official connected with the Wichita truck
at the time. 1
The peraone expelled by the board be
sides Mr. Irwin were B. II. Amldcom.
Judge; A. C. Jordan, B. Htcrnea and II. T.
ICames, all of whom wore found by the
board to have participated In the announce
ment and establishment of the fraudulent
.eoord of the home, Crosceus. The expul
sion of these ntflclala also means that the
world'a record for trotting atalllona of
1:694 claimed to hava been made by
Create via la not allowed by the board.
In the decision on the caae, tho board
nays In port:
Leaving- out of consideration entirely the
laat affidavit made by Mr. Jordan dotalllng
what he now claim to be the truth of
the entire transaction, no fur at leant as
the etatement ma do In effect by any person
other than himself, and relying- alone on
the contradictory statements under ontli,
made by Messrs. Amldeom, Sterne, Jor
dan, ICa men and Irwin, not only as to the
time made and the details of the perforin
. nivce, but also and particularly mm to the
manifest effort shown to establlxh what
must have been known by Messrs.
Irwin and Amldeom as an absolutely Irri'K
tilar and unlawful meeting for the record
purpose of which we are forced to the un
avoidable conclusion that each of the above
persons named haa within but a little more
than a year, made absolutely Irreconcilable
and contradictory statements of the essen
tial facta necessary to establish the regu
larity of the meeting and even the ap
ornxlmate correctness of the time made.
lrom the several affidavits the conclusion
Is Irresistible that not only whs the meet
ing Irregular, but the attempt to give the
horse suoh a record was a gross fraud
upon the public and a willful violation of
the rules of the American Trotting- asso
ciation. Ketcham Repudiates False Itecord.
All controversy over the regularity of
the performance and the correctness of the
tlroe claimed it forever set at rest by Mr.
Ketcham'a authorised statement through
his attorney today, made, before the board.
In which he unequivocally states that he
Is satisfied from the evidence before the
board that the horse did not at Wichita,
October 10, 19(i3, make the mile In 1:69,
and that he Is not entitled to the credit
for the performance of any record aris
ing therefrom. That 'the announcement of
such time made there was fraudulently
done and was false; that Crcaceus Is not
entitled to the record and Mr. Ketcham
'loes not want it under the exciting- cir
cumstances. Besides disposing of the Crenceus caae,
the board passed on over 100 other cases.
In which were Included applications for
reinstatement, expulsions, allowing of
records and reductions of fines.
The board adjourned subject to the call
of the president.

with the approval of the National Ha He Hall
commission, the power of the minor luagues.
will be curtailed to a great extent. The
changes In the national agreement, which
benefits minor leagues by raising the price
of drafted players from tTf to tl.Goo and
the limiting of the number of players to be
drafted from one club to one man, wna
turned down by the magnates and 1'rcaldent
.lohnaon waa authorised to art for the
American league In conjunction with the
National league's representative and Chair
man Hermann of the National committee
to frame a national agreement eliminating
thla clause In the agreement. President
Johnson will leave for Cincinnati tomor
row, where he will meet with Chairman
Herrman and go over the matter In detail.
C. W. Homers of Cleveland was re-elected
' vice president of the league at the morning
session, President Johnson's contract runs
for six more years and as be Is prealclent,
necretary and treasurer of bis organisation,
no other officers had to be elected. Uomon,
St. bottle, I'hlludelphla and Detroit were
Klven directors. President Johnson's salary
was rained to flO.Ooi) a year and this time
He decided to accept the Increase. Last
fear the magnates added the same amount
r the president's salary, but Mr. Johnson
declined to accept the advance.
The foul strike rule came up for discus
sion again today and after a long argument
It waa found that the members of the
league stood four and four on the rule.
What dtnpoalllon waa made of the Wash

aeneral belief, however, la that the matter
wan (eft over to be settled at some future

Visitors from lllahland Park Defeated
for First Time.
The Highland Park basket ball team of
Pes Moines, now on a tour which includes
Omaha, Lincoln, Lawrence, Kansas City
and other polnta. stopped over last night
long enough to run against the fast Young
Men's Chrlntliln association team and met
with Its first defeat on the trip. The visit
ing players have acquired great ability In
the matter of short passes, but their work
In long panning did not compare at all with
that of the locals-
The first half of the game was a series
of fast passes, good cntchea and frequent
fouls; the Young Men's Christian associa
tion team making twelve and the High
land Parks thirteen. From these Hansen
for Omana scored six points, while John
son waa successful for five. Clark for
Omaha made one goal and Mlddleton put
one In the banket for Highland Park.

In the second half Highland Park started
in to run away from the Young Men's
Christian association, but It did not keep
the pace, while, the Young Men s Christian
association team got better with every
minute, Clark making two sensational
goals. Hansen, usually a gotl player,
Improved very much and threw lour goals.
Mlddleton and Johnson did tine work In
quick panning and the former tnnle eight
points from goal line. It was Impossible
for Highland Park to get by the quick
moving high-jumping locals and they were
defeated easily.
The final score was 29 to 17 In favor of

Minnesota Rejects Never Rale.
MINNEAPOLIS. Dec. 8. It has been
definitely decided by the athletic authorities
of the University of Minnesota to reject
the freshman eligibility rule recommended
at the recent conference of the "Big Nine"
universities In Chicago. Thin action, under
the rules of the conference, will necessitate
Its adoption by a two-thirds vote at the
June meeting before the new regulation
can become effective. The opposition of
Michigan and Iowa Is relied upon by Min
nesota to aid In Its final defeat.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS HOLIDAYS
Period of Vacation Begins Christmas
F.ve and Terminates Mnth
of January.
The public schools will have a holiday
vacation of two weeks beginning Saturday,
December 21, and lasting until Monday,
January 9. Christmas observances will not
be gvnerul In the schools and will be left
to the choice of the teachers of the varlout
rooms. At the high school no programs
apart from one or two that may be given
by literary societies will be executed. As
usual some of the schools will receive con
tributions from the pupils to be given to
the charitable organisations and schools In
the poorer districts. This, also. Is left to
the wisdom and desire of the teachers and
principals. No arrangements for Christmas
celebrations huve Jet been started.
This painful trouble can be re

PRESIDtNT HAGENBARTH OUTLINES SCHEME
Each Industry Will Be Organised Sep
aratety and There Will Be av
General Board with F.i
ecntlve Powers.
CHICAGO, Dec. 8 -Frank J. Hagcnbarth
of Spencer, Idaho, the new president of the
National IJve Stock association, and one of
the presidential electors of Idaho, left for
the west today. Mr. Hagenbnrth said:
We are living In an age of association
and co-operation. Reservation of energy
and community of Interests Is the watch
word. Friction costs money In economics
as well as In mechanics. The live stock
Interests are now planning a reorganisation
along these modern lines. The new plan
contemplates an alignment and groujilng
of each and every live stock Interest along
these latter day lines. We propose to
sclopt the "flying wedge" tactics of the
foot ball pluyer, and the Impact will lie
Irreelntahle when we are organised
as proposed. The object of the proponed
organization In . to provide a medium
through which the various branches of the
live stock Industry may meet and confer
for the purpose of securing a better under
standing of the peculiar conditions afTect
Ing each, to prevent misunderstandings, to
secure concerted action, where such action
Is found to be for the benefit of the whede
lnduntry; to encourage better organization
within the various branches and more har
mony between the branches; to bring be
fore congress and the governmental de
partments the requirements and needs of
thn live stock Industry and to afford a
clearing houne and establish a community
of Interests for the Industry.
For the purpose of organization each
branch of interest connected with the live
stock Industry will be regarded hs an en
tity or unit and will form the basis of or
ganization. Plan of Organisation.
Kuch branch will organize a committee
to be known an the general committee of
that branch. Such general committee will
represent the Interests of the branch cre
ating It and will select one of Its member
to represent It In a central committee,
which will be the whole executive authority
of the association. While a general com
mittee may have power of an executive
sort within the branch It represents, It
shall Hct only In an advisory character In
the national unnoclatlon, except to appoint
a member of the central committee. The
general committee may consist of nny
number of members that thone engaged In
the brunch of the Industry rreatltig it may
determine. It will also have full author
ity over the member of the central com
mittee and can withdraw him at any time
and submit ute a member In his place.
The annual delegate conventions are
abandoned, and there will be ten meetings
composed of all the general committees In
Joint session. These annual meetings will
receive reports of ofllcers and the central
committees and will dlscurn any matters
brought before It and may mnke such sug
gestions and recommendations as It may
desire to the central committee. It will
transact no executive business.
Call for Ilve Stork C'ensns.
The government has devoted proportion
ately very little of II- energies to the de
velopment of the live mock Interests per se.
It In our desire that lut Btock and pure
bred shows be held In sections of this big
land of ours where conditions and climate
differ, ns, for inatunce, In tho central Rockv
mountain region; In the Pacific northwest
and southwest; In the northern wheat and
southern cotton belts. The educational
value of these exhibitions cannot be told.
This work will fall to the Department ol
Agriculture. Again, tho cattleman and the
sheepman, and those who furnish them
credit, are reduced to the condition of
gamblers. Who knows today whether we
are operating on a shortage or surplus of
cattle? Nearly half the Btuft going to
slaughter Is young she stock. How long
can thla continue? Such treatment will
soon cure the most radical case of surplus.
I don't believe there In a man in the
United States today who can furnish u sale
estimate as to the number of cattle on
hand. To correct this evil we propose to
ask for an annual census of live stock and
farm products.
Omaha Parties Interested.
In reply to the query ns to what encour
agement he had met in carrying out his
plans and engaging the heavy Interests in
volved In their execution President llagen
barth -replied:
I have just finished making the rounda
and am pleased to say that I find the
large Interests the easiest to Interest in
this work upon the high plune proposed.
Mr. J. A. Spoor, president of the I'nlon
Stock Yards and Transit company of Chi
cago, Is very friendly to the new move
and so is Colonel Morse of Kansas City
and the other stock yards companies are
In line. The stock exchanges here and In
Denver, St. Joseph, St. louls, Kunsns
City and Omaha will Join In the work.
Among the packers the Morris. Swift nnd
Armour Interests are much Interested. We
now have an assurance of the co-operation
of the railroads nlso. Among the lines
which will tnke part In bringing nlxmt the
new order of things are the Harrlman
and Gould Interests, the Chicago. Mil
waukee It St. Paul the Santa Ke, the
Northwestern nnd the Rook Inland, and
we feci confident that the other live stock
lines will fall In when the matter is pre
sented to them. The range men and feed
ers will be happy and proud to put shoul
ders to the wheel and help make the new
national one of the commercial powers of
the land.
Mr. Ilugenbarth predicted an unusually
large attendance at the next annual con
vention of the national association, which
will be held In Denver January 9 to 14.
