(Special Telegram.) The annual charter day barb-frat indoor athletio meet at th State university was won by nonfrat entity men yesterday, by a core of 42 to 40.

Hansen 'tried for the world's record, but his kick, although going as high, as nine feet eight inches, missed the leather plaster. The big surprise of tho meet was the de feat suffered by Swanson in the twenty-five-yard dash. Last year Swanson won that event with ease, and looked like a sure winner for this winter: He was defeated- by May, a freshman athlete, who dashed the twenty-five yards in record time. Minor, a fast university sprinter, failed to get a place in thin event. In the polo.,. vault., Nepraaka'a two star vaulters. tied for . first. p.ic at ten fee six' Inches.

JOHNSON AGAIN PBESIDLNT Me ' Is Re-eleeted for Term of Con tract and Ills Salary Advance-1 to Twenty-Five Thonaand Dollars a Year. CHICAGO, Feb. 1 Byron Bancroft Johnson was re-elected president, secre tary and treasurer of the American league at a salary said to be $26,000 a year at the closing session of the annual sched ule meeting today. The agreement under which the league has existed since November, 1900, was re newed for a period of twenty years. In the new agreement la a clause forbidding any club owner or holder of stock In any club to hold shares In any other club in the league except as an "emergency meas ure." All the other articles of the agreement were retained In the new one. , Uniform . tickets with rain check cou pons, practically the same as now In use In the National league, were adopted. A schedule of 164 games, opening on April 14 and closing on October t, wai unanimously adopted. This schedule was the only one submitted to the meeting and was chosen without change. It was an nounced that the dates selected would be retained whether the National league plays 164 or 18 games. If the National leaferue selects the shorter season there will only be ten conflicting dates between the two leagues. Eight of these will be In Chicago and the two others in St. Louis. Johnson's Salary Increased. W'hlle no official announcement was made that Mr. Johnson's salary had been Increased from 116,000 to $25,000 It waa said on good authority that such was the case. Mr. Johnson refused to talk of the reported salary Increase, but smilingly said that it was a personal matter. He also returned the same answer as to the question as to how old he would be when his term of office will expire. Thla is the longest tenure In office to which any base ball president was ever elected. It was made co-existent with the Na tional agreement. It Is said that Charles A. Comlskey of Chicago and Benjamin B. Shlve of Philadelphia were the men behind this signal tribute to Mr. Johnson aa a league leader. The adoption of a twenty- year agreement was said to be In the nature of a compromise. Some of the club owners favored the renewal for ten years, while others spoke for a perpetual agreement, such as now exists In the National league. This was the main subject of debate In yesterday's meeting and the voting on It was postponed unUl today. Syndicate Boll Prohibited. The article added to the agreement for bidding "syndicate base ball" reads as fol lows: ' Syndicate base ball is prohibited except as an emergency measure and then only with the consent of the league's president and directors shall a stockholder In one club own or control stock la another club in the American league, under penalty of being voted and dealt with as an undesir able associate and barred from all con nections with the league. The expected big trade In which the St. Louis club was to be a party had not de veloped up to a late hour. Several con ferences were held by the various man agers, but nothing of Importance developed. The Saginaw club of the Southern Michi gan league( secured two American recruits, it purchased Second Baseman .'Weaver from Cleveland and Pjtcher Arnold from Philadelphia. The same club also bought Pitcher Burgess from the Sprlnfleld (Mo.) club. The majority of the club owners and managers left for their homes tonight. Robert L. Hedges, president of the St. Louis Americans, denied that he had any intention of trading Outfielder George Stone and Shortstop Bobby Wallace to Cleveland for Catcher Clarke and First Baseman Stovall. The following telegram was received by Mr. B. B. Johnson from August Herrmann, chairman of the National commission, to day: All articles having been offered as coming from me with reference to KUng are false.

The forces of Presi dent Madrlx have again taken possession ftf Mlt...ln. wt.lU TT. : A ' - y (J, wiuvii un i wruary iv was occupied by General Chamorro, one of the inrurgont leaders. The bombardment of the city, which was begun Sunday night. after notification had been given to the ron-combatants to withdraw, waa aband oned for some hours and begun again yes terday. The government forces had heavy guns on the hills, but the Insurgents were without means to reply at long range. Chamorro therefore deemed It advisable to retrtat and under the cover of darkness evacuated Matagalpa at an early hour this trornlng. Generals Lara, Chlvarrla, Martlnex and RIvas, each of whom commanded sections of the government troops, reoccupled the city at noon. Chamorro did not escape any too soon, as he was nearly surrounded by the government forces, . which had not been brought as quickly as the condition of the country would permit during the last few days. It Is reported here that General Chamorro has broken away from General Estrada and proclaimed himself president Over tures havo been made to President Madrls by Chamorro through the medium of the American consular agent, W. H. Desavlgnv, at Matagalpa, for' the re-establlshment of peace. Chamorro's offer, embodied in a letter, Is now In the hands of Vice Consul Caldera, and President Madrlz has aa yet been only unofficially, informed of the pro posal, but he has already given his answer, which is the unconditional surrender and imprisonment' of Chamorro are the- only terms acceptable. ,i . . t i r StrangcC WiH of General Ballancc Unusual Provisions of Testament of Army Officer May Start Contest ; for Big Estate. PEORIA, III., Feb. 16. Because of a clause In the strange will of General John Gieen Ballance, Spanish war veteran and one of the wealthiest men in this state, a great contest may be started by his heirs. Characteristic of the other paragraphs in the will, the testator, who had an estate of several hundred thousand dollars, pro vided that "twenty-one years after the death of my last surviving nephew or niece, my estate shall be divided among my grand-nephews and grand-nlecea, who are descendants, In such a way that the share of each shall be equal," General Ballance died at Miami, Fla., last Thursday night. Since his service In the Philippines during the Spanish-American war he has suffered from beriberi, a mys terious disease. In the first clause of his will he com mands that his body be given to some med ical society to be dissected In the Interest of medical science. I END OF WATER WORKS CASE STILL AN UNCERTAIN DATE Attorney for Water Company Says He la Donbtfnl A. B. Hunt Casts Ont Anchor to Windward. Richard 8. Hall, attorney for the Omaha Water company, says he Is looking for the argument in the water works owner ship case to come up in the United States supreme court some time between March 1 and 15. "There Is nothing certain about the date, however," said Mr. Hall. "When do you look for a decision after argument?" "Oh, man, that's beyond telling by any body." Superintendent A. B. Hunt of the water company has already cast an anchor to windward by becoming treasurer of a new life insurance company formed by Omaha and Nebravka men, with head office In Omaha. He makes little secret of the fact that he would not serve In any capaoity with the plant should It pass Into the ownership of the city. Other employes of the company feel very much the same as Hunt about taking chances with a city board In control of the water works, but they are saying little. "What's the use of talking about the fu ture?" asked Stockton Heth. "The United States supreme court is slow and methodi cal. No man can tell when a decision is likely to bo handed down. Even then, it would require time, and be something of a chore, to make a transfer and put the city In possession.

LATTER WILL PRODUCE FIGURES Vice President Will Hay that Sooth em and I'nlon Pacific Rands Are ot Competitive. Hence Not V loin tln Law. Two Harriman officials In Omaha-A. L. Mohler. vice president ar.d general man- ager of the 1,'nion Pacific, and C. B. Sexer. gwicral auditor of the Harriman system have been summoned to New York as wit neeces In the government's suit to dissolve the so-called merger. Nelson H. Ixxunie of Omaha, general solicitor of the Union Pacific, has been east since the filing of the suit and will remain as railroad counsel until the pr.- ceedings close. He was with" President Lovett at the time tho answer was made to the government's action at Washington. Mr. Seger probably will be called upon the witness stand to produce figures show ing the relative amount of trade over the Harriman lines since the merger. Of the decrease from 78 per cent to 39 per cent In the freight traffic over the Sunset Route in 1891, the year of the consolidation, the government InsUts that only a small part of this amount was due to legitimate com petition. If called upon the stand It Is understood that Mr. Mohler will emphasiis that the Union Pacific-Southern Paciflo merger la In no wise a combine of competing lines and therefore is not operating in restraint of trade. Coming at the same time as the hearing in New York Is the decision of the federal court at San Antonio, Tex., to the effect that the lease of the Galveston, Harris-" burg & San Antonio road is Illegal and that the relation shall be dissolved. This road la one of the subsidiary lines of the Southern Pacific. If other subsidiary lines of the Union Paciflo and Southern Pacific are dissolved as a result of the hearing in New York It wlll not come as as a big surprise to local railroad officials.

Now, one might reasonably suppose that this Incorrigible comio perception would take the edge off the excitement. But it doesn't. On the contrary, it adds to the serse of reality, makes the characters seem more natural, human and sympathetic, sup piles ozone to the air of plausibility, gives a sect to the criminal chase and whets the appetite for mystery. ! And as for the mystery the plot of "The Man In Lower Ten" so deeply engrosses the reader that he forgets meals, sleep, the toothache, appendicitis, duns and all other Insistent distractions. Wo shan't give It away; we. should not bo so unkind to the prospective reader. But the starting point may at least bo Indicated. A man goes to bed In "Lower Nine" of the Wash ington sleeper from Pittsburg, and awakens In "Lower Seven." In tho meantime, an other man In "Lower Ten," which berth the first man was to have occupied If Pullman arrangements had gone straight. Is murdered, and the man In "Lower Seven" finds, as he starts to dress, not his own clothes and shoes, but the gar ments of somebody else and the bag of somebody else, lnstoed of the one con tlnlng his own valuable papers. There's your puzzle for you, and It seems all the more baffling because of Its very simplicity. The criminal must be one of the little group of people, all described, who boarded the Washington car. Natur ally, every reader becomes a detective on his own hook, certain-sure that he haa the one correct solution. And Mrs. Rlne hart Just sits back with her sly and subtle smile and lets one think so. Her fun will come to see him sit up with a Jerk of surprise when she discloses her secret In the last astonishing chapter. It remains to add that, while the bright banners of humor and the sinister storm signals of mystery are streaming through out this story, the flag of romance files bravely, too. On the fateful Pullman on which the hero takes passase there Is also a blue-eyed and brown-haired Isabel whom he sees and loves. "The Man in Lower Ten" thus makes a threefold appeal on the reader, who Is at once absorbed by Its unusual mystery, cheered by Its delight ful humor and charmed by Its love-Inter-est. And a threefold cord, says Ecclesl astes. Is not quickly broken. The first Installment of "The Man In Lower Ten" will be published In The Sunday Bee of February 20. It would be well to order the paper at once In order to secure the first chapter of this charm ing story.
