THE. BEE: OMAHA. FIJI DAY, FEBRUARY 17, University of Iowa May Have to Drop Out of "Big Seven" Conference Shortly IOWA UNIVERSITY IN ODD MIX Hawkeye College May Hare to Drop from "Big Seren." AS MUCH AS NOJraiEMBEItS NOW Iowa City Men Tone Prl la o Feer Contests Tney Irtonlly t of (nifrrriirr Mut neelnre Position oon. VTUh the (rick season fast pproschlrur nil with th Missouri vaSey school plan ning for the annual conference meet It looks though the I'nlverslty of Iowa will have to declare Ita future position with regard to membership In th "Rig Seven " Fhould the Hawkeyes wish to remain nut ef the big meet this spring the chance are very good .that tha other school of the teegue may invite the lowi City crowd to pick up tracs and hike out of the big organization. Ro few contests of any ort are now held between Iowa and any other member of the conference that the Hawk eyes are practically, a (rood aa nonmem ber of the league now. It ha refuaed re peatedly refused to take part in the bas ket ball championship contests: has had only one or two foot ball names and few has ball engagement with the other teams In tha conference. Humors emanating f ro n the other Insti tutions of the big league Indicate that the Mawkeyes will not be permitted to with draw from the grand tracK meet and still hold membership In the conference. The following from the Lies Moines Cap Hal gives an Idea of the lentlment that Is growing up aealnst the llawkeyes: "Now that the track season approaches followers of the Missouri valley athletics are wondering whether Iowa will be num bered among tha schools entered. The rumor that tha State university will with draw from the Missouri organisation gains strength every day and it now seems only a matter of tlm until formal action In that direction will be taken. I'rldrs Keif oa Track Men. A break from the big western track meet would, work a great hardship upon that branch of athletics at Iowa. Tht school has always prided Itself upon winning the etar high school athletes. These men, how ever, are not apt to look with tavor upon a school that does not compete with the schools In which their friends are .located or with which they are In a way ac quainted. It la true that the big Chicago conference meet, when will come a week after the Missouri valley meet this year, would W a greet and worthy goal to look forward to. Hut It Is the same old question of little frog In a big puddle. Iowa made ten points in tbe Misourl valley met last year, and It Is even more destitute of point winning ma terial this year, -with Alderman out and Hyland a professional through his basket ball coaching this aeason. Wilson, tha star high hurdler, Is about ths only aura bet left. ) As for dual meets the same rule Is apt to apply with the members of the western conference aa ia now In force In tha ''Big Eight." where Michigan has been tabooed becausa It refused to join the conference. Iowa voted for that proposition when it was presented. It would be but an applica tion of tha golden rule to have the same thing true in this case. 'It con It b done with tlx same Idea that n" Chicago con ference ha a In mlndln' trying" to force Michigan bank Into the fold.- The Missouri valley conference wants Iowa to stay with it and will use means to persuade it that It ought to do so. OMAHA UNIVERSITY FIVE TO JOURNEY TO BLAIR Plays with tha Dana Collea-e Basket ' Ball Team Thera Friday ICrrilnf.

K-To the Edi tor of The Bee: In reading- the Bee of ye terdity we. tbe Falls City High school, notice a serious error. The Bee slates that the Peru Normal tills claim 'he champion ship of Nebraska lu basket t ail. This can not x.lblv be true, for our girls have de feated the I'rr'l girls twice this year, once on Peru a ow n field bv a score of 17 to 30. and once on Kalis City a field by a score of St to it. Yhcae facts have already been printed In The Bee and we can see no grounds for Peru claiming the champion ship. I-a is l it) has offeied to plav Peru on some neutral floor, such ss Lincoln, but this ii met with disapproval by Peru. A third same is really nut iicie-rv unless each it-am has a Name apiece.

AUGUST BELMONT PRESIDES Chairman ays Cireat Nations of Europe F.nronraa;e Radnor and Breed In a; of Taoroan-hhreda fop Intrinsic Valne. NEW TORK. Feb. 16.-8portsmen from north, south, east and west sat down to table at the first dinner of Its kind ever held In this country tonight. Called In the Interest of sport 4n general, 'there were more than 300 present, among them finan cial and social leaders In New York, Bos ton, Philadelphia, Cleveland and other cities. August Relmont chairman of the Jockv club, which controls racing throughout the country, presided. Among others present were Reginald Vanderbllt, Hollls Uinehart of Washington, Dr. C. C. Burton and Wil liam H. Thuhn of Philadelphia. James W. Graves of Richmond. Va.. Andrew Freed man and Charles H. Harrison, jr. of Balti more and Robert Olendennlng of Philadel phia, and Thomas F. Ryan of New York and Richmond. Mr. Belmont, on being Introduced, said the bsno.uet had not tha remotest con nection with any movement looking toward legal relief for horse racing or appeals to the law - makera for enabling legisla tion. , Later he announced he would offer to the' government six" stallions to start a national breeding bureau following the lines of France, Germany,. Canada and other countries. Included In his six are Henry cf Navarre," which once brought IM.OOO at auction, and Octagon, the aire of Beldame, winner of a suburban handicap. one of the greatest ever bred In any coun try. Continuing Mr. Belmont ssid: "Convinced ss we are that our cause Is a common one.we are gathered here tonight as I interpret It. to promote by means of friendly Intercourse. every healthy, clean and Invigorating sport where the horse plays a part. Every other na tion of the first class encourages the de velopment of the thoroughbred. "The great nations of Europe and their governments foster raring and breeding of thoroughbreds for-- the value they know they possess.' That racing furnishes a rec reation for the public Is subordinate. Tr..e are attendant evils and sportsmen and lovers of the horse should be enco.iraged in their effort to correct and eliminate them. But destroying racing as a publlo Institution Is not helping the community. Upholding It and .dnlntc It Justice by pass ing intelligent criticism upon racing faults la right nd we should frown upon the bigot whose gloomy pessimism would turn God's flowers of tha fields to a monotonous gray."

Allegretto and Allegro. Iargo. Mlnuetto. Finale. Presto. At the auditorium of the Toung Women Christian association the Rlccally String quartetto, formerly of Berlin, gave a con cert last night. As Richard Callles, the cellist, seems to almost dominate the play. Ing of the organisation, on could almost gather from the first syllable of each of hi names the origin of the title "Rlccally." A string quartette Is a daring and dan gerous species of musical activity and the playing of a atring quartette ln tune, with proper ensemble effects, beginning and ending phrases exactly together, tha hun-dred-and-one Important nuance and shades, yielding here to each other, emerging there for a moment of solo phrasing to return to the family round of harmonious procedure It I all very won derful, and very difficult, and very beauti ful, and it take year to bring quartette playing to anything Ilk perfection. Did the Rlccally String quartet come up to these demands In any way? They did; excellently, In many ways, and thl In spite of a small, but tremendously encouraging, audience In the way of appre ciation. Individually the quartet la composed of flna players, and that they have done much work together is evident. Their "at tacks," generally speaking, were good, tha "forte" onea splendid, and tha more diffi cult softer ones war at time lacking in confidence rather than anything else. But that remark, which I not so much a crit icism as a comment, th quartet can take as laeing offered in the most kindly way by a sincere admirer of their work and ona who wishes them great success, for they deserve it. In th Tschatkowaky "Andante Cantabile" and "Scherai" th work wa unusually beautiful: th mod ern coloring -were, given life and luster, and it I. a pity that th auditorium could not have been full and that every musical person in Omaha could not have heard that on number,- for It waa a notable con tribution to th season' collection of real art-memories. The Beethoven number waa carefully and earnestly played, but with less accurate Intonation than the later number, due, perhaps, to that change of temperature which usually attend, th. opening of a concert, and which ha. It effect on the Instrument. The new concert etude by the Italian Slnlgaglla waa played with fine Blmullaneousness, if one may use the word here, and why not? It I worth hearing. The Haydn quartet closed the program and was given In the true spirit. Detailed mention of the individual player and their relative merit would b obviously out of place, aa the merit of a quartet l Its ensemble. The Rlccally String quartet will always be a welcome feature In Omaha' musical season, and th gentlemen who comprise It deserve hearty congratulations on their excellent showing of results from their arduous, painstaking and persevering Intelligent work. To Mr. A. F. Stechele. already known hers for hi artlstio and mualclanly ability, Omaha is probably In debted for the appearance of th organiza tion. K. Some Notes nf the Mase. LINCOLN, Feb. 15.-To the Editor of The Bee: Producing managers are to have a meet ing ln New York this week to discus the elimination of the state of Oklahoma from th theatrical scheme. This calamity Ik threatened on account of the action of the state railway commission In raining tbe transportation rates. It cost $1,300 more to carry "Ben Hur" fuO miles In Oklahoma a short time ago than It did In the adjoining states, and that precipitated the trouble. Regarding the above article please permit me so say, that the handicap placed on th traveling theatrical profession In the state of Oklahoma by the railroads is a disgrace to civilization. The mere fact that the railroads doing business in that state have banded together to fight the legislature and the people, whether a 2 cent per mile per capita rats or a 3-cent per mile per capita rat should govern business, doe not excuse them for the burden they have plared on theatrical man ager who ere trying to make a living in that country. Theatrical business is an In dustry that gives employment to thousands of people. They ar obliged to travel In parties ranging from ten to 2o0 In order to entertain the public. As the Industry Is one that Is heavily taxed and Is also an important factor In every day life, why don't the railroads view It in a friendly manner and fix ratea that will permit them to tour the state of Oklahoma and have snm margin of profit? For several months past all rates have been wiped out of existence In that state, and not until I started to arrange the tour of th "Ben Hur" company was any at tention given to the situation. W ith ' He i Hur'' n. carry mora than 150 people. To play the towns of Tulaa, Mykogee, Mc- a lister ana tjKianonia t uy rn roun xrotti Fort Worth to Mpiingfield, Mo., it required an outlay of I'.OuO. No show thst travels ran stand such a drain on the treasury. The attention of Klaw A Erlanger. Charles Prohinan. Joseph Brooks. A. V. Dingwall, ' I Cohan Ac Harris. Henry V. Kavame. Uehlei J ' Co.. and u'hrr representative managers i ! of America was called to It. They im ! mediately cancelled the tour of seveial of' j their enterprises throughout the state, and j are now forming plans to keep their at ! tractions away' from It until the railroad i rhr.nge their tactics. j The theatrical profession Is an Indiiatr. ' that should he given consideration by th lallioads and all fair-minded people. Let ; J loin great a'cldent happen in any portion I of the rliillxed world and they are Hi.

Ilirnfoie then, Is no Jimt rraxnn why the railroads of America shouldn't one and all unnnlinonsly fix some schedule of rstes that will permit them to transact their businees profiishly and not turn all profits to the railroads.

"Th Invitation waa tn.j .e... - rnmmlttee meeting at which representa tives of nearly al1 European races In Chi cago were present and no delegate from the Slovak's expreased nnv objection shin the name was presented."
