Pity the Poor Traveling Man
Thanksgiving His Tough Day
The lonesome man the traveler, com
mercial or otherwise, caught away from
home on Thanksgiving waa in evidence
around Omaha hotels yesterday. He could
not sell gooda because all the atorea were
cloaed. He might dictate some letters, but
the hotel stenographer had gone to the
foot ball game. So there waa nothing left
for him but to eat turkey alone, and since
that rift In the monotony requires only a
small part of his time, he had nothing
much left to do except to pace to and
fro In the lobby, and tiling of that exer
cise, ensconce himself ln some quiet corner
to thumb the pagea of a magaaine.
Most wives fancy that their husbands
on the road have a gay time every day,
not to mention the nights, but if these
wives could see the gloom that hangs pall
like over hotel lobbies, tney would pr
furce rie up And hand forward a ciown
in acknowledgement ot faithfulness.
Any day but Holiday or Thanksgiving or
Christmas or some other off day, theae
men would not loiter around tig l.ibby ot
their hotel. They would b out sinking
the prattes of the gooda they have lo sell,
and the day would pass quickly. But.
Thanksgiving day la a blank on the travel
ing man's calendar, so far aa sales are
concerned, so there la nothing for him to
do but kill time.

V hen the game began It looked for a few
minutes as if Crelghton would smother the
Iowa boys, for not only did Creighton
bulk much, larger, particularly In the back
field, but the Crelghton offense started oft
at a clip not previously seen this season.
The backs got away well and together, the
interference was good and the first few

fense braced and Crelghton did not for a
time gain so consistently But In this first
quarter fumbles by Dea Moines backs, the
fullback being the worst offender, gave
Crelghton two theoretical chances to score.
In each case a place kick was tried and In
neither did the . ball come very nejr the
goal posts. On the second of these chances
Kyle first ran the ball ln front of the goal

did not realize his object condemned him

planned move.
Locals Star In fSroaad Gaining;.
Neither side was very dangerous In the
third quarter and the advantage ln this
was Crelghton's, which netted gains on
runs by Kyle, Hronek, Young and occas
ionally Morgenthaler.
Young seemed to shine, for although not
the speediest player on the Crelghton team,
he la a big fellow and all the Dea Moines
backs, except Davis, dashed at him In
vain. Davis, who Is the pluckiest and fast
est player of his weight, barring none seen
here thia year, waa nearly the whole Des
Molnea back field on defense. He Is a
freshman and If he can put on a little beef
an he grows older he will be heard from.
He did not appear to weigh over 145 pounds
yesterday.
Hronek, who la the aecond best man on
the Crelghton team, showed well yester
day as usual and good playing waa also
done by Marrtn and Kramer, who, like
Hronek, yesterday played their last game
for Crelghton.
Dea Moines gained several times on shift
playa and other trick maneuvers, but It
was proved once more that such foot ball
cannot be relied upon. On the third or
fourth play of the kind, whether delayed
pass, kick out after a aide pass or any
thing else of this nature, Crelghton would
nab the ball for a big Dea Moines loss.

The censorship Is strict and details of
the trouble cannot be cabled at this time.

For some time the men of the navy had

The matter came to a head yesterday
when the crews of two ot the larger war

Following the fighting the mutineers
expect congress to paa a measure this

Cotton Brokers

Postmaster General Hitchcock Tells
How Alabama Firm Manipulated
Bogus Bills of Lading.
WASHINGTON. .Nov. 24. Commenting on
the arre-t yesterday by postofflce inspectors
of John W. Knight, senior member of the
cotton brokerage firm of Knight, Yancey
Co., of Decatur, Ala., Postmaster General
Hitchcock today pave out a statement ln
which he says that the operations of this
concern through the alleged fraudulent use
of the malls would doubtless exceed
SI .000.000.
The alleged fraud was committed, he says,
by use of bogus bills of lading. Mr. Hitch
cock asserts that by making false reports
f shipments to Insurance companies, cer--Ificates
of Insurance were procured cover-
ng both railway and marine risk. These
r-wtlfleates were accepted as indicating the
lonoety of the shipments' and the bills of
adlng accepted were negotiated by note
brokers, who procured payment from the
foreign Importers ln advance of delivery.
11 lB chiefly against these foreign buyers
of cotton that the fraud Is alleged to have
been'commltted. The cotton purchased, Mr.
Hitchcock saya, never arrived.
"The effect of this procedure," the state
ment says, "was to rreate a widespread
lack of confidence ln our cotton export
trade, causing great embarrassment to the
reliable exporters of this product."
Mr. Hitchcock declares that transactions
of Knight. Tancey & Co., were similar to
those of another concern of Cornlth, Miss.,
whose members were recently Indicted on
evidence procured by postofflce Inspectors.
The postmaster general's statement alleges
that the Investigation developed that the
two concerns had an arrangement by which
they exchanged drafts, each holding power
of attorney for the other to accept such
drafts, and that they committed frauds ag
gregating between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000.
Mr. Hitchcock refers also to tha opera
tions of Sandals, Griffin & Co., of Cleve
land, the principals of which concern were
arrested yeBterday by postofflce Inspectors
for alleged fraudulent use of the malls in
selling oil stock through misrepresentation.
"The successful development of certain
legitimate oil projects during the last year
has been taken advantage of by some pro
moters to defraud the public through the
sale of stock In wild-cat oil comparles."

educators were blackballed last year and
their names then made public, started an
Investigation with the result that Is no

The exposure of this state of affairs
