National Commission
Scores Des Moines
For "Petty Action"
Club Attempt to Gain Profit of Fifty
Dollars a Month from Player
Penfold.
CINCINNATI. March 29 "Trie attempt
of the class A Des Moines club to place
this player with the class C Elgin club at
a monthly rental of $51 Is one of the
pettiest and most pernicious acta of specu
lation In players ever called to the atten
tion of the national commission," said the
commission today In a decision declaring
Player Penfold a free agent and nullifying
his 1311 contract with Des Moines.
The evidence showed that Penfold. whose
home Is In Chicago, had signed to play
with Des Moines at $126 a month: that on
May t last he was ordered to report to
Elgin, with Instructions to sign an Elgin
contract for I17S a month and remit $50
a month to the Des Moines club.

sider Ten-Club Circuit '
Proposition.
CHICAGO. March 29 President Al Tear
ney of the Three-I loague today called a
meeting for Friday March 31, In this city
to draft a schedule of games for -the

national commission's mandate that a
schedule should be prepared or the com
mission would take summary action.
All questions relating to Waterloo's right
to be a member of the league this year
having been settled by the National com
mission, there remains only one factor of
the fight which may cause trouble at the
meeting. That Is whether Qulncy, III.,
and Decatur, 111., shall be admitted, making
a ten-club circuit.
President Tearney la In favor of this
plan as It will not Impose upon Qulncy the
Iokm It would otherwise meet because

to Join the Three-I. Attorney Qulnn
O'Brien who represented Waterloo In Us

"We will not stand for a ten-club league,
you may depend on that. Nearly every
one we have talked to in the league says
It Is not practical or a profitable plan."

Series of Tourneys
at Omaha Gun Club
Three Classes Will Compete for Prices
in the Summer Compe
titions. Omaha trap shooters will open their 1911
summer shooting season April 1, at the
Omaha Gun club. In order to make the
weekly Bhoots more Interesting the club
has -arranged for a shooting tournament
to last the entire season, with a number of
special prizes to be won besides the regular
moneys each Sunday.
All shooters will be classified Into three
divisions, A. B. and C. "A" rlass shooters
are those who have a general average of
88 or better, and the priae for this class
will be a gold medal, engraved "Champion
of Omaha, 1911."
Class B will comprise the shooter with
an average between 75 and S3 oer cept,
and the prize will be a repeating bl'otgun
or the winner can accept 120 i.-asli.
Claas C shooters are those who have an
average below 70 per cent, and the prize
will be a case of bOO loaded sheila. The
winner' may accept $12.50 In cash if he
desires.
Contestant must snoot at the regular
weekly shoots and not more than fifty shots
In competition eaoh dav except to make
up fifty targets lost by being absent at a
previous shoot. All ties will he shot off
at the end of the season In a 100-blrd race.
Shooters will be credited on averages by
the Dupont system.
The new Bystem, U la thought, will
awaken more interest among the Omaha
gunners and get them in shape to enter
the Western handicap to be held here In
August

Many Men Picked
By Nebraska Coach
For Omaha Meet
Nearly Entire list Has Been Selected,
Though Men for Relay Team Are
Proving Most Difficult.
LINCOLN. March .-(Special Tele
gram, y Know and cold winds have made It
impossible for the Cornhusker squad to
put in as hard a week training as Cbaoh
Field desired In final preparation for the
Indoor meet at Omaha Haturday. The
Cornhuskers are not as sure of making
the strong showing made by the team last
year.
The barring of freshmen from competing
has Injured the chances of the Nebraska
quartet In' the relay, Brannon and RJcely
being unable to participate.
Field has selected the men to take part
in the meet. The complete list Include
Captain Guy Reed, Ankeny, May, CTrlst
maa, Runsell, Powers, Amberson, HUtner,
Anderson, Rathbone and Llndstrum.
May and Reed will probably represent
the Cornhuskers In the fifty-yard dash,
although the entries have nat been defi
nitely passed upon. May Is very speedy
and should give all sprinters a close run.
Reed stars at a quarter mile, but la also
wonderfully speedy on the sprints. Ankeny
and HUtner will probably enter the 230
yard sprint. Reed will be saved for the
quarter mile, with Amberson as a possible
running partner.
In the hurdles Russell. Powers and Rath
bone will be started. Powers Is a veteran
and will push his rivals.
Rusaell and Undntrum will undoubtedly
win points In the pole vault, the latter
giving promise of breaking the university
record.
The membership of the relay team still
Is a puzzle and at leant another day will
be taken before Field picks his four men
to represent the Cornhuskers.
The team will leave IJncoln Saturday
morning and will be accompanied by a
large crowd of rooters.

INFORMER TELLS OF WINK
Reason for Revelation of Plans of
Camorrists Given Out.
ABBATEMAGGI0 KNEW TOO MUCH
Decease of KwowleaJsre of GansT's
errets He eerel Blst Hhatre
of Molls Others IMotted
to Kill Him.
VITERBO. Italy, March . Oennato Ab
batemagglo, the confessed Camorrtet, con
tinued his revelations at today's session
of the trial of himself and thirty-five
associates for the murder of Oennaro Cuoc
oolo and the latter's wife.
Strictly speaking, Abbatemaggio's "revel
ations" are nothing more than side lights
In confirmation of his original story
told to the authorities and published be
fore the trial began.
In his formal statement the Informer
told how Cuoccolo had been murdered be
cause ha had betrayed other members of
the Camorra, and also because there was
Jealousy of his increasing power on the
part of Enrico Alfano, the actual head of
the body, and other leaders. Cuoccolo's
wife was killed to conceal tha first crime.
Asked about the $3no which had been paid
to the assassins of the Cuoccolos, the In
former replied that Alfano had divided
the money, giving 190 to the witness and
distributing, the remainder among the
actual assassins.
Wink Cause of nevelatlou.
Ferdlnando dl Matteo, one of the assas
sins, protested against the giving of so
large a share to Abbatemagglo, who had
not participated in the killings, but he was
silenced with a wink from Alfano. Abbate
magglo saw the wink and understood Its
meaning. His associates were aware that
he knew too many of their secrets and
could betray them at any moment. Ac
cordingly no sum of money was too great
to pay for his silence until the opportunity
came to put him out of the way.
Abbatemagglo realized the feeling to
wards him, and this, together with a revival
of honest Impulses, Induced him to make
the first revelations, which were followed
by a determination to tell all and so re
deem himself.
Prisoners Shoot Down Witness.
Abbatemaggio's examination was inter
rupted today by Con-ado Sortlno, one of
those alleged to have killed the Cuoccolos,
who asserted that the Informer had de
clared that Sortlno's brother was a mem
ber of the Camorra, Rising from his seat
In the prisoners' cage, Sortlno shouted:
Tou are a liar. My brother is one of
the world's greatest sculptors. H lives
in Paris, where he Is tha intimate of nota
bles." This gave excuse for a tumult, the other
prisoners and their lawyers crying out,
"Abbatemagglo Is a calumniator."
The informer, recognising a trick to Im
pair his testimony, raised his voice, above
tha chorus, yelling:
'I never said that Sortlno's brother was
a Camorrlst."
The confusion continued and the court
was compelled to suspend tho sitting.
The policy of the accused Is to catch
Vbbatemagglo in contradictions or un
truths, ll only in seoonaary mailers, ana
so discredit his whole story.

declared to be under control. Practically
all the state offlolala and many of th
city officers were also on the ground.
State Architect Ware said he could give
no Idea of the total loss until after the
flames were extinguished.
The firemen had many narrow escapes.
Several parties of them ware trapped by
flames in the corridors and rooms, but
got safely out. Chief Pridgeford and a
quad came near being hit when a large
section of the western cornice crashed
down with a part of tha roof and upper
wall. Several firemen were overcome by
smoke and many wars made so ill they
had to seek fresh alt.
Half an hour after the fire was con
sidered under control, the Tames broke out
arreah In tha celling of the assembly cham
ber. The firemen had great difficulty in
controlling them.
Though tha fir had been pronounced
under control, the Inside of (he oapltol on
tha upper floors of the west wing was still
a mass of names.
There was much speculation as to the
effect the fire would have on tha senatorial
session. The assembly chamber was
flooded with water, but th assembly par
lor on th northeast corner of the building
was unscathed and it was decided to hold
th adjourned democratic caucus there as
well as th Joint ballot at noon.
Fire Spreads Onlekly.
The caucus last night did not adjourn
until nearly 1 o'clock and a few stragglers
remained In th building when the fir
broke cut.

able. Lacking these th flames spread
until th room with its inflammable fur
nishings and papers was all ablaze.
It was som time before the firemen ar
rived and before they could get streams

state library.
Th grand western staircase, which was
regarded as one of he most beautiful in
the world, occupied the center of the west

and 100,000 historical manuscripts. Two

Commissioner Draper said that most of
the manuscripts that hav been lost wer
original documents and cannot replaced.
Th early Dutch records wer lost.
Of the books on th Stat library shelves,

but he says th value of the other books

estimated that the loss of documents and
