C NTEST FOR NEW NORMAL
SeTen Northwest Counties Pulling for
Chait Bill.
OPPOSE SCHOOL 'AT AINSW0KTH
Boosters Tell War Taer Think State
Shoald Plaee tnatltatloa at
Alliance, tnaeron or
Crawford,
Seven of the countlea In northwestern Ne
braska are demanding the pasaage of the
Chase normal school bill now before the
legislature. The bill provides for the es
tablishment of a new normal school and
tha appropriation of W6.0n0 for thla purpose.
It leave the matter of exact location to
the State Board of Education or any other
properly constituted, body.-
In opposition to the Chase bill Is a meas
ure by Harrington of Brown county pro
viding for an appropriation of EK.Of and
the location of the normal at Alnaworth,.
the home town of Mr. Harrington. Still an
other Is the Henry bill, contemplating two
achnola and the purchase of the old college
building at Wayne to be used aa one, the
appropriation being 1100,000.
Frank Currle of Gordon. Charles Naylor
of Chadron, P. G. Cooper of Crawford and
John Brewer of Crawford have been to
Lincoln to urge the paasage of the Chase
bill.
Their Side of Matter.
Currle and Cooper, acting aa spokesmen,
submitted this argument for their caae:
"We believe the school should be estab
lished at a point accessible to the greatest
number of pupils. The seven counties for
which we speak are the growing, aggres
sive counties of northwestern Nebraska.
They, with their population, are:
"Scotta Bluff, 16.000.
"Cherry, 16,000.
"Box Butte, 14.000.
"Sheridan, 12.000.
"Dawea, 12.0H0.
"Morrill. 7.000.
"Sioux, (.000.
"Here la a population of over 80,000. It
may be off 2,000 or 1,000 either way, but It
Is approximately correct. Now, then, here
Is our proposition: This new school should
be located at one of three towns Alliance,
Chadron or Crawford we don't care which,
but located at any one of these towns the
school would be within easier reach of the
children of these 80,000 than It would be If
located at Alnaworth or any other town in
the state.
"If located at any of these towns the
school would be within a radius of seventy
five miles of this 80,000. population, or in
other words, a radius of seventy-five miles
would Include a larger population than a
radius of 300 miles would Include If the
school were located at Alnaworth. Should
Mr. Harrington's bill carry and the school
be located at Alnsworth to per cent of the
pupils would have to travel a distance of
200 mile to reach It
Towns In the Territory.
"The largest and most rapidly growing
towns of that section are In the district
where we want the school located. There
Is Alliance, with a population of 6,000, Chad
ron 4,000, Crawford 1,000, Gordon 1,000, Rush
vllle 1,000, Hay Springs 800, and five or
six towns of at least 600.
"Alnsworth tiaa a population of less than
1,000. And you travel east sixty miles on
the Northwestern line to O'Nell before you
strike a town of any size, and about 200
miles east to Brpken Bow on the Burling
ton before reaching a town of consequence.
And if the school weie located at Alns
worth the people of the towns west of
there would be little better off than they
are now. It Is 160 miles from Alnsworth
to the first of our group of town. And
th others are all further away.
"Northwestern Nebraska, the countlea we
represent, has never asked or received
anything of this sort fiom the legislature.
We have been content to boost for the
counties eaat of us and help build up the
atate. We have paid into the state treas
ury as taxes in the last ten years over
$1,600,000, $157,000 last year, and have never
been given even an experimental atation.
We are steadily inuiuaalng In population;
Sloux county polled 600 votes more last fall
than It did two years prior to that time
and the full vote waa out In 1906. and
Dawea county Increased Ita voting popula
tion by over 400. Our land values are ris
ing. We have land that brings all the way
from $1S to $60 an acre. We are not In or
a part of the famoua sandhill country. It
ahould be distinctly . understood. T)iat
country lies to the eaat of us. Our kind
Is good and 200.000 acres Is under Irrigation.
As to Railroad Facilities.
"At Crawford we have two railroads, the
Burlington and Northwestern, and have
acoess to every part of that gieat empire.
We are going to keep on growing, but we
shall need the help of the legislature. We
muet have schools for our children,
"The very fact that we do not specify
any one town for the site of this new
noivnal ought to commend our proposition
aa a fair one. In addition to the argument
we have offered. We are willing to submit
the matter to Any duly constituted com
mittee or board to locate the achool, pro
vided It will place It within that vast ter
ritory of the seven counties we have men
tioned. We don't believe that the fact
that Mr. Henry and Mr. Harrington are
democrat, and Mr. Chae, the author of
the bill we favor, is a republican, should
cut any figure with the legislature, whlob
Is also democratic. It Is certainly not a
question of politics."

WORKUKH FOR ATHLETIC BOARD
Htadent Xentlment Has (hanged
Since Last Spring;.
LINCOLN. March 7.MSpectal.)-8tudents
at the University of Nebraska are asking
that Captain John G. Worklzer be restored
to membership on the Nebraska Athletic
board, from which he was removed last
aprlng by the university senate on demand
of the reformers Irt a campaign for the
fmrlficatlon of Cornhusker athletics. There
s a vacancy In the Athletic board, caused
by the resignation of Prof. Phillips, and
the students want Captain Worklior ap
pointed by Chancellor Avery to fill out the
unexpired term of this professor.
In Its leading editorial last evening the
Dally Nebraskan, the official student pub
lication of the university, makes a strong
plea in behalf of Captain Workiser. It
declares his removal from the board was
rot Justified by the basis of the charges
brought against him and that a wrong was
committed which can only be rectified by
the re-election of Captain Workixcr to the
board.
The Nebraskan asserts that the dismissed
man did more for the advancement of
Cornhusker athletics' while he was on the
beard than any of his colleagues. It also
says that the men who were Instrumental
in securing his removal now see ' where
they erred and are aiixlous to have the
wrong righted. ' "
Chancellor Avery now has the matter of
reappointing Captain Worklzer to tho board
under consideration and probably will take
seme action on It this week. He Is be
lieved to be favorably. Inclined toward the
captain and is likely to rentore him to
membership.
The Cornhusker basket ball live returned
from Kansas City this morning, after play
ing the final game with Kansas for the
championship of the Mlsiourl valley. Dr.
Clnpp and his men were a Mttle disap
pointed In not winning the title, which went
to the Jayhswkers, .Sko won two of th
three games. ' '
Dr. Clapp declared that his pupils out
played their opponents In all departments
of the game except In gdal tossing. It
was this weakness, he says, that caused
their downfall. Even with this great handi
cap they managed to get the last contest
of the series by a small margin of points.
These games closed the local basket ball
season.

Up Sundays by the Interde
nominational Special.

car 'The Parson?1" aaked one passenger
of another on a Farnam eaetbound, yes

Burt street. It gets Catholics from St. Ce
celia's; at Park avenue and Farnam It
loads on Baptists from the First church;
at Twenty-sixth and Farnam It gather
In Lutheran from the Kountse Memorial
and Christians from the First church, and
Episcopalians from All Saints and tops
off Its load with Christian Scientist at
Twenty-fifth and Farnam."

TENSION STRONG IN BERLIN
Situation Between Servla aad Anatrla
More Clearly Defined, bat Still
Dlsqaletlng.
BERLIN. March 7. The situation be
tween Austris-Hungary and Servla. arising
from the effort of the latter country to
secure compensation for the annexation by
the dual monarchy of Bosnia and Hersego
vlna was today acknowledged to be dla
quletlng; there to, however, thle advantage:
The Issues are more clearly defined than
before.
It can be said with authority that every
thing now dependa upon the position Rus
sia takes in the matter. The situation
stands as follow:
Servla has undoubtedly renounced all Ita
direct demands, both territorial and eco
nomical, but at the same time U charged
Russia to place these demands before aa
international conference. Austria-Hungary
declined to accept such a conference before
the points at Issue with Servla are settled.
Austria-Hungary is prepared to grant
favorable commercial and economical com
pensations to Servla If Servla consents to
negotiate direct; but should a conference
power In any way to Intervene In question
Austria-Hungary, with the support of Ger
many, would oppose any concessions.
Austria-Hungary and Germany consider
that a conference should be called only
to satisfy agreements already made and
they do not recognize the right of the
power In any way to Intervene In questions
concerning two Independent nations.
It Is affirmed also that Turkey I In
clined to hold to a ' similar view. Th
pnrte feara that If such a conference
awarded damages, Servla would demand
territorial compensation from Turkey.
The provisional commercial agreement
between Austria-Hungary and Servla ex
pires March 31, and Austria-Hungary la
willing to make the new agreement mor
advantageous If Servla will abatain from
seeking foreign Intervention and settle the
question alone. Up to the present time
Russia haa not Intimated whether or not
It will accept the Servian mandate to ap
proach the power.
Although there la no aertoua anxiety re
garding the eventual peaceful outcome of
thla controversy, a certain disquieting ten
sion was evidenced today In official cir
cles. VIENNA. March 6 Count Forgach, the
Austria-Hungarian minister at Belgrade,
has been Instructed to Inform the Servian
government that owing to the attitude
maintained by Servla for the last few
months the government of the dual mon
archy, to tts regret, has not been In a
position to submit a renewal of the com
mercial treaty with Servla, which expires
March 31, for parliamentary sanction. The
Austria-Hungarian government. Count For
gach Is Instructed to add, which, it Is gen
erally understood, has decided to Changs Its
policy with regard to Rosnja and Herzego
vina, will notify Vienna of this wise reso
lution as well ss Its Intention to maintain
peaceful and neighborly relatione with Austria-Hungary.
As soon as this notification Is
received Austria-Hungary will be prepared
to negotiate the questions of trade Inter
course. How can any person risk taking soma

HARRIMAN AND COULD DEAL
Union Pacifio and Wabash Will Ex
change Business at Kansas City.
AGREEMENT STILL TENTATIVE
Report that Interchange Will Kx
rlade Practically All Other Con
neetlona May Rxslaln Finan
cial Transactions.
CHICAGO, March T.-The Record-Herald
tomorrow morning will ay: Negotiations
are In progress which will, it Is thought,
eventuklly Innd for Edward H. Harrlman's
Vnlon Pacific line west of Kansas City
the greateat traffic coup In Ita history.
It Is understood that beginning early In
May there will be an Interchange traffic
agreement between the Wabash and the
I'nlon Pacific at Kansas City which will
be of Immense value to each system. The
detail cf the tentative agreement have
not received the sanction of Harrtman or
of George J. Gould, but It la known that
It la th purpose fo Interchange traffic
well nigh to the exclusion of all other
connections. The pending agreement may
In a measure explain why Harrlman was
so ready to throw tt,K,000 Into th yn
dlcate which loaned Gould 8,fl00.X to
save aome of his roada from bankruptcy.
Portland to Push
Figh ton Spokane
Rate Decision
Railroads Are Planning to Bring
Injunction Suits and Merchants
Will Ask Concessions.
PORTLAND, Ore., March 7.-The Ore
gonlan tomorrow will aay: It la consid
ered practically certain that every poa
alble legal obstruction will be placed In
the way of the enforcing of the Spokane
rate caae decision by the railroads of thla
territory. While It cannot be learned defi
nitely at present if this atep will be taken,
nor what prooeases will be resorted to, It
Is believed the railroads will fight the rate
order just made and at least delay Ita en
forcement to the utmost, even If It cannot
be defeated.
The Spokane rate decision waa ordered
to become effective May 1. This Is said
by all to be practically Impossible. The
readjustment and publication of tariffs
made necessary by the decision, causing
the checking over of all the rates to the
territory effected, will take month. That
this mass of detail can be arranged by
May 1 la said to be out of the question.
It 1 expected the commission will con
sent to the postponement of the effect of
the decision until a reasonable time can
elapse, but It Is thought this will not Sat
isfy the railroads. It Is believed they will
apply for Injunction or take aome other
atep to overturn the recenf decision.
Meanwhile the Portland Chamber of Com
merce will begin suit before the Interstate
Commerce commission for lower distribu
tive rate out of Portland. Suit will be
filed probably within the next two week.

Belio BursU, Almost Killing P. W,
Meyers, When Fired at Decoy
Ducks on Cut-Off. :
A Iwo and a half Inch chsrge of powder
In an old mtixsle loading shotgun almost
proved a falsi dose for F. W. Meyers of
1713 Chicago street Sunday morning at Cut
off lake. He shot from the shore at some
decoys In the water and the old gun. whlrh
he was using for tha first time, exploded
and narrowly missed killing him.
Meyers and two companions, ori of
whom was Joe Tamaste, had been firing a
hotgun at the decoye, when a fourth man
Joined the party and offered his old rnusxle
loader to Meters to try. The bursting of
the gun Imbedded two small pieces of eteet
In Meyers' left arm. temporarily benumbed
It and Inflicted similar rtgly gashes In Ma
Hp and a finger of his right hand.
It Is regarded as highly remarksble that
the young man was not killed when the
explosion occurred, aa one piece of steel
rrom the burslng barrel waa hurled quite
a distance and went through the Inch-boaid
wall of a bungalow. If such a piece hd
hit Meyers It probably -would have killed
him Instantly.
Aa soon aa possible after the accident,
friends accompanied Meyers to Dr. Flts
glbbon's, where his wounds were dressrd,
after which he went home. Meyers la a
brakeman for the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul railroad.
