THE BEE: OMAHA. TIIUKSDAY, DECEMBER 2. 1000. ROW ON AGAIN OVER TABLE Absolution of Special Grub by Con ference Rouses Cornhuakers. SOME TALK OF WITHDRAWING Nbrakaaa Thar Matter Wss Bashed Tbronch Rrforf Arrival of Kansas Representative, W hone Train Wu Late. LINCOLN, Dec. 1 (Special.) Members of the Nebraska Athletic board are completely dlfgusted with the attitude that certain Missouri valley conference representatives took on the foot ball training table at the annual meeting of the "DIk Seven" dele gates In Lira Moines lent Saturday. At that meeting It was voted, 4 to 2, to abolish the training table, Nebraska and Missouri voting In the negative and Kan sas not being represented. Thin fart In not generally known and has not been published by the Western preps. It was only a year ao that the name members of the conference took the same action, and the training table would have been lost to the "Big Heven" but for the later action of Nebraska, Kansas and Mis souri, who united and brought the matter up for a second vote, which resulted In keeping the table. The members of the Nebraska board de- clare that It was little short of an Insult for Iowa and the three other schools to frrce the training table question to an issue attain. It was settled last year, argue the Cornhusker mentors, and It should have been left undisturbed. I.vran Kusbea the (titration. The manner In which the Iowa repre sentative rushed the question before the conference has made the Cornhuskers mad. On Saturday, when this matter was brought up. there were only vx of the seven schools represented. Prof. McClung of the Univer sity of Kansus was on his way to the meeting, but his train uas very late. Prof. McClung. hud he been present, would have cast his vote in favor of retaining the train Ins; table. The Iowa representative was aware of this and moved, us soon as the meeting was opened, to consider the foot ball train ing table among the first business. This was done, and, with Iowa, Ames, Drake and Washington voting to abolish the tuble, Nebraska, and Missouri were not enough to keep the table from going. A rule of the conference requires a two-thirds vote to pass a measure. Had Prof. McClung been present, the vote would have been 4 to 3, and the table would have been retained. Prof. McClung declared he would have voted for saving the training table, and said that he would bring the matter up before the next meeting of the conference. He will be able to do this, for a conference: permits any member of . the conference to reject any measure within sixty days after it has been passed. By doing this a school brings the measure up for a second vote, and then, If It receives two-thirds of 'the votes. It becomes a rule of the "Big Seven." In the voting last year Kansas rejected the action of the conference in abolishing the table, and in the second vote Ne braska, Missouri and Kansas voted to keep the Institution. When the second vote Is taken on the question this year these three schools will stand together again und the table will be kept for another year. Nebraska Talks of Withdrawing. Nebraska athletic members are blaming Prof. Smith of Iowa for trying to do away with the foot ball grill room and they are about ready to inform him that the Corn husker Board of Control Is so decidedly in favor of a training table that It would rather withdraw from the Missouri valley A Christmas Gift Father or Brother 1 I I II III I No we 20 D 1 --rtfTun No cigar has ever been MM fy advertised as Cobs are being i' "Ur'ilrl'y nnshed.

Iowa, as a member of the Chicago con ference. Is prohibited from maintaining a table, and ever since It joined the Mis souri valley conference It has been seek ing to get the smaller body to conform to all the rules and laws of the older body. It Is understood In local athletic circles that the Hawkeye school Joined the Mis souri valley league for the purpose of mak ing the schools In this section conform to all the rules Iowa dots as a member of the "Big Eight." The Hakeyes, while they are compelled to obey the strict rules of the older body, think the other schools outside that league ought to meet It on equal eligibility terms. The two conference bodies are now gov erned. In fact, by practically the same rules, the training table being the only Im portant Institution that Is not allowed the "Big Eight" schools. The training table, however, la an Important element In build ing up a gridiron eleven, und Nebraska Is reluctant to let It go. It Is the training table question thnt Is keeping Michigan from Koing back Into the "Big Eight" Just now. That was the thing, too, which led Michigan to break with the Chicago con-faience.

New Light Thrown on Shooting Up of Brownsville Witnesses Testify that Army Officers Knew that Negro Soldiers Were the Offenders. BROWNESVILLE, Tex.. Deo. 1 New light was thrown on the Brownsville raid by the court of inquiry In its session today and a number of heretofore undeveloped points were brought out, Some of which are claimed to be detrimental to the cause of the negro foldlers charged with "shoot ing up the town." Celso Olivier, a former policeman, and Manual Morales, formerly a tailor at the post, were the principal witnesses. Olivier testified he saw Captain Macklln, whom he knew well, picking up scattered cart ridge shells the morning after the raid. At the former inquiry Captain Macklin testi fied the shells a ere found in one place, It being alleged they were placed there by citizens In support of a conspiracy theory. Morales told of a conversation ha iiad with a negro soldier after tha raid, in which the soldier said he wassorry a Mex ican had been wounded, as the Americans were the only ones the negro troops were after. Among the other witnesses was Joseph K. Towers of San Antonio, for merly keeper of the National cemetery at Fort Brown. Powers said lie hud a con versation with Major Penrose following the shooting, quoting the latter as saying he would rather have lost his right arm than to have had his men do the shooting, and he would give a year's pay to know which soldier did It. That the officers know who did tha shooting, was testified to In addition to the above witnesses, by Mrs. Kate Leahy, who said Lieutenant Greer told her the officers recognized the reports of the high-powtr rifles, but were afraid to leave their fami lies to Investigate, believing that the sol diers were fighting among themaelveB, as on previous occasions.
