Home splits are the result of hard luck,
while others are secured by too good
bowling, but the one Mose Yousem got in
his series last Tuesday was sure enough a
tough luck fellow. Going along nicely with
tough luck to beat the season s ntgh mark
he put an apparent good bail between 1

Mose was stung and the chance to put up
a new mark went glimmering.

Klank Here for
Zbyszko Match
Manager of Gotch Says Frenchman
Has Improved, but is Not as
Good as the Pole.
Three cracking prellmlnarlen have been
arranged by Manager Glllari to preceed
the Zbyssko and de Rouen match at the
Auditorium tonight.
Two little chaps, Thorwald Lauretson
and Eric Anderson, will clash for the first
go of the evening. The combatants are
tiny Juveniles, but fast. Kid Jensen and
McCabe will meet In the second and
Schwager and Jack Myers In the third of
the preliminaries. A fourth even to planned,
but details are yet to be decided upon.
Emll Klank, manager for Frank Gotch,
la In Omaha and will remain over for the
wrestle Friday night. Klank Is the most
prosperous looking gentleman who has
struck Omaha for some time. He has not
been accompanying Gotch on his trip
across the country with Jeffries, but has
been doing some wrestling around Chicago
and arranging future dates for Gotch. He
leaves Saturday for South Dakota to ar
range for some dates to be filled by Gotch
at tha conclusion of the Jeffries engage
ment. "'You can bet your last dollar the Jeffries-Johnson
fight will be pulled off in
Salt Lake City and that Jeff will win,"
said Emll, who Is a wise forecaster. "They
may be doing a little press agent work, but
I am quite certain that the bout will be
held In the Mormon city.
"De Rouen will show the people of Omaha
that he has improved since he was last
here, but he Is not as good a wrestler as
Zbyszko. I think they will give you an
Interesting match."
COHAHl'SKERS LACK PRACTICE
Players Hampered Beeanse Law
Classes Occupy Uymnaalam.
LINCOLN, Jan. 27. (Special.)-The Corn
husaer banket ball players are greatly
hampered this week In their practice for
the games with Drake and Ames on Fri
day and Saturday. The big gymnasium, in
whlcn they do tnelr training, is this week
given up to the law classes for exami
nations and the basket shooters havu been
forced to forego praotlce on their regular
days.
Manager Eager announced todsy that he
had scheduled two base ball games with
the University of Kansas nine to be played
In Lincoln in May. Kansas was here last
spring and was defeated In one game,
'ihe second contest was postponed on ac
count of rain.
Negotiations are being carried on for
two games with Missouri to be pulled off
here, either In April or May. Iowa and
Ames will also probably come to Lincoln.
The Nebraska track schedule, according
to present plans, will Include dual meets
with Kansas and Minnesota and the Mis
souri valley games with the conference
schools at Des Moines. Kansas has con
sented to meet the Cornhuskers on the
cinder path and the Nebraska team will
be sent to Lawrence In May.
For some time It looked as though the
two schools would sever track athletic rela
tions, because of a dispute over last year's
meet. Nebraska won the contest by one
point, but the Jayhawkers would not ad
mit that the points wee- awarded fairly,
and they declared they had won the games.
They still claim the meet and have had
a trophy made, similar to the one for which
the schools contested, and have placed it
In their, room reserved for such things.
They have recorded the meet as won for
Kansas. Nebraska, on the other hand,
has a trophy and reco.J which sh'.ws that
Nebraska won the n.oet with Kansas In
1909.

WILSON TITLES ARB INVALID
Land Referred to hy Mr. Glavls
Reverts to Government.
SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 27. United States
District, Judge Cornelius Hanford has de
cided that title to 1,024 acres of valuable
coal lands in Lewis county claimed by P. C.
Richardson and several members of the
R. A. Wilson family, all of Seattle should
revert to the government.
This Is the land referred to by L. R.
Glavls In his testimony before 'the Ball-Inger-Plnchot
committee this afternoon.
Litigation and negotiations over these
lands have been In progress for eleven
years.
In February, 1899, R. A. Wilson and his
son, George B., filed a declaratory state
ment on the northwest quarter of section
10, township 14, Lewis county, and 'about
two years later Wilson conceive the Idea
of obtaining title to 1,040 acres of coal lands
In the vicinity.
Various declaratory statements, were filed
by other members of the Wilson family
and legal action was Instituted to obtain
title. Half a dosen members of the Wilson
family filed claims. Then they sought to
buy tho land from the government and In
order to rafse the necessary funds they
Interested P. C. Richardson of Seattle, who
invested SS.300, and the Wilsons and
Richardson organized tho Sterling Coal
company. The claims were commuted and
the land office was paid for 320 acres of
the land.
The Wilsons, according to sworn testi
mony, put the money received from
Richardson to. their own use, and after a
meeting In Portland, held there because
the Sterling company was an Oregon cor
poration, and attended only by R. A. Wil
son and George Wilson, another company
called the Wilson Coal company was
formed which left Richardson out In the
cold.
Richardson entered suit against the
Sterling company for his share, but the
action was dismissed In 1905 by Judge Han
frd on the ground that the Sterling com
pany was an Illegal combination. It was
held that a combination made by In
dividuals to acquire coal lands In excess of
320 acres for an association is unlawful
any any patents obtained . through such
means are Invalid and can be cancelled by
the government In a suit of equity.
The government officials Investigated the
whole case, held up the applications pend
ing for the acquirement of title to the
remainder of the 1,010 acres, and eventually
entered suit for the recovery of the original
329 acres.

Somebody Giving
Hot Air Lafcan
Bepresentatire from Pennsylvania
Says This of Congressman Hitch
cock's Charges.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 27. A tilt between
Representatives Hitchcock of Nebraska and
Lafean of Pennsylvania, In the Investiga
tion of the former's charges against tho
administration of the land office, enlivened
Tuesday's hearing before the house com
mittee on expenditures In the Interior de
partment. "It Is quite apparent," said Mr. Lafean,
a member of the committee, after Commis
sioner Dennett of the land office had
given his testimony, "that someone has
been giving out a lot of hot air In this
matter, as these charges seem to be gen
eral In character and based entirely on
rumor. It seems to me we should deal
charitably with the matter."
A sharp colloquy ensued, but Chairman
McGutre interposed with the suggestion
that the committee awn It an executive ses
sion before framing conclusions.
Commissioner Dennett testified that when
Secretary Balllnger was appointed commis
sioner of the general land office he stipu
lated that there should be an executive
order to permit him to have the selection
of a private secretary This was done and
he appointed Jack Balllnger without re
striction of the civil service rules.
Mr. Dennett said he did not believe that
young Balllnger, when he lert for the coast,
wculd retire from the government service.
When he got out to the coast he completed
Ms assignment, took,, ft "vacation, during
which he made up his mind to resign, and
received no return travel allowance.
That Judge Wright, an employe, was
demoted for any reason except feebleness
that prevented him from doing sufficient
wcrk Mr. Dennett denied, adding that he
gave Wright a month's salary when Wright
was on his death bed. The hearing; will be
continued Saturday.

Earl Darling, young, smooth and danDer.

notably Fremont, and when arrested there
day before yesterday had, it is said, be

people In his possession.
It requires no great Ingenuity to 10 to
a poatofflce and ask for someone's else
mall, but Mr. Darling had the system down
a little finer than this. He even had for
warded to him, according to the statements
of postofflce men, the letters of the men
whose names he gave and whom he reore-
seiited himself to be. at various times and
pis ces.
"Still he must have drawn a good many
blanks, so far as I have learned about the
case," said Deputy Postmaster Woodard,
who has been Informed by telephone, from
Fremont about the case." 'I suppose he got

Secretary Wilson Says United States
Fays Most for Necessities.
INQUIRY TO BE NATION-WIDE
Intrestlaatlon Not Confined to Fonr
Companies First Tiamed Many
Concerns to Co ni e In
drr Hcrntlny.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 27 "It costs
more to get the common necessities of life
In the United States today thnn In any
other country In the world."
This startling statement was made to
night by James Wilson, secretary of agri
culture, in an address delivered before the
Manufacturers' club of this city. Secre
tary Wilson discussed "the present food
crisis" In a way that was original and
forceful. "Some people," he said, "tell u
that if we repeal the present tariff law
to let in foreign products free of duty
the present difficulty will ci-ase. I do
not believe It. Eggs are 36 cents a dozen
In Canadian cities and GO o-n's a dosen
in some American cities. The duty Is 3
cents a dozen. What difference would It
make If you took off that 3 cents or not 7"
The secretary further stated that he be
lieved the American people are sjffering
not so much at present from tlm high
cost of living as from the cost of high
living, his statements being:
"It has been said that an American Is
the best fed, best clothed, best educated
and best housed man upon earth. We
shall have to add now that he Is the most
expensively fed."
Secretary Wilson pointed out that tho
fundamental difficulty was that the peo
ple are leaving the farms to such an ex
tent that there are not enough remaining
to produce the food of the Increasing pop
ulation. The boys and girls' of the farm,
he asserted, are being lured away to the
cities to the factories and to the mines
and to too great extent the agricultural
resources of the country are being neg
lected. He said that he was convinced
that the combinations of retailers, whole
salers and the like were responsible In
great measure for keeping up of prices and
that that same influence would be suffi
cient to control the prices of products
brought from other countries, even though
the tariff w re removed.
"The education of the former, however,
has been overlooked," he said.
"Manufacturing industries have built up
cities, towns and villages, but the growth
of knowledge of the soil, of the plant and I
the animal has not been fostered. The !
young farmer has been educated away
from the farm and from the production
of food for the people. The school, the
college and the university, which admir
ably , prepare young men and women for
their life work In all other directions, have
forgotten the farmer."
COAL MINERS WAY STRIKE
Workers In Bituminous District Will
Demand General Ad
vance. INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 27. "Stand or fall
tog-ether!" That was the sentiment of the
convention of the United Mine Workers of
America, when It closed discussion of the
prospective strike of the bituminous coal
miners yesterday. The resolution will not
be formulated definitely until the wage
scale committee reports.
In the speeches of the unions officials It
was declared that the bituminous miners
are determined to demand an Increase of
wages of W per cent or more, that no one
district organisation shall sign the uniform
wage contract till all districts shall sign
and if a strike Is Inevitable In one -or
more districts, all shall strike.
The baslo contract for the whole coun
try Is to be negotiated next week at Toledo,
though specifically the conference between
operators' and miners' representatives is to
adjust the differences only of western
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. The
present contract In these three states ex
pires March 31. Several delegates from
other districts advocated In the convention
today that the whole delegated body should
go to Toledo for the conference, since Its
conclusions will pattern the contract to be
signed In all districts if a contract Is Blgned
In any.
National President Lewis, President Mc
Donald of the Illinois district and other
leaders urged upon the convention unity
of purpose and action. If the miners make
a uniform demand for an Increase In wages.
and all throw down their tools at once,
If the operators in any districts refused
to yield, the nonunion miners of West Vir
ginia and other fields, now hard pressed
by the higher cost of living and lower
earnings, probably could be rallied to the
standard of the United Mine Workers" of
America, said the speakers.
The delegates from the nine locals In
central Pennsylvania, over whose status
there was a long wrangle yesterday, were
refused seats by a vote of 1,327 to 1,009.
The convention voted $1,000 to the striking
garment makers of St. Louis, $2,000 to the
strikers of iron, steel and tin workers, and
$1,000 to ths Swttchmens' union.
