the greater majority of the members of
those bodies In Omaha will be at the gate

High SchoofTrack
Squad is Selected
Lads to Represent Local School Win
Places in Competition Root
ers to Be Numerous.
The squad which will represent the
Omaha High school In the indoor meet
at the Auditorium Saturday night was
chosen by R. I Cams, athletic director
of the Omaha High school Friday morning.
Six sturdy lads will enter In the relay race,
which will be between the high schools,
the 60-yard race, and the quarter-mile run.
Robert Wood, Who Is captain of the high
school squad track tenrn this season, will
enter the relay team race, and also the
60-yard dash. Benson Rowley, another crack
sprinter and hurdler also, will run the 60
yard dash as well as the relay race. Hugh
Millard. Is still another fast sprinter, and
will constitute the third member of the re
lay team. Halleck Rouse, a former Bellevue
lad. will also be on the relay team.
For the 60-yard dash. Wood. Millard and
Rowley will compete. Try-outs were held
for this event Thursday afternoon at the
Young Men's Christian association, with
the result that these three lads made the
best time for this event. Lee Ellsworth,
who entered In the quarter mile run last
year, will do so again this year. Alber
Cahn, a fast quarter-mller, will also enter
for this event.
Enthusiasm at the Schoo( Is perhaps the
greatest that any coming event has ever
caused. Tickets for the meet have been on
sale all this week at the school, and a
great number of the pupils have bought.
The high school has been allotted the ex
treme west end of the Auditorium balcony.
This Is perhaps the best location In the
Auditorium as It enables the spectators to
view the start and finish of many of the
events. The cadet band will play, and will
be placed near the high school rooters.
George Green will take charge bf the band,
which will play many of the popular high
school airs.

Northern Magnates Refused to Accept
Ten-Club Proposition.
NOW UP TO NATIONAL COMMISSION
Waterloo Man Wants President Tear

Hint Names nnd Offers
I
Flaht.
CHICAGO, March 31.-Strif In the
Three-I Rase Rail league cropped out more
seriously today when the session called
to finally settle the difficulties between the
northern and southern factions of the or
ganization broke up In a disagreement. It
Is probable that President Tearney will
turn the affairs of the league over to the
National commission for adjustment.
Proposals were made to form a ten-club
league, but the trouble started when the
club owners of the southern division In
sisted on taking Qulncy and Decatur, III.,
Into the clubs. The northern club owners
opposed the plan, whereupon President
Tearney suggested that a committee be
appointed to solve the problem. He pro
posed selecting a representative from the
northern and southern divisions of the
league to meet with B. B. Johnson, presi
dent of the American league and member
of the National commission, and allow
them to decide which cities would be ad
mitted. Refusal of the northern club owners to
permit President Johnson to enter the
controversy caused the split. Resolutions
demanding President Tearney's Immediate
resignation were presented by representa
tives of the clubs In the northern division,
but the matter was tabled without coming
to a vote.
When William Bwald of the Waterloo
club presented resolutions asking for Tear
ney's resignation, Tearney became Infuri
ated and denounced Ewald as a "black
guard unfit for the presence at the meet
ing." Ewald attempted to leave the room.
when Tearney threatened to settle their
differences with their fists.
It Is probable that a representative from
the warring factions will selected late to
day to meet with President Johnson and
end the league squabble. The following
representatives of the league attended the
meeting:
Edward Holland, Bloomlngton; J. M.
Boyle, Danville, III.; J. T. Haves, Daven
port; Theodore Scharle, Dubuque; David
Rowan, Peoria; H. E. Castel, Hock Island;
H. H. Klnsella, Springfield, and William
Kwald, Waterloo.

BERNE, Swltserland, March 81 The
final obstruction to the Loetschberg tunnel
through the Bernese Alps Was, pierced by
the laborers at 6.30 o'clock this afternoon
after five and a half years' work and the
expenditure of 120,000,000. The tunnel, which
Is the third longest In Europe, measures
approximately nine miles.
With the completion of the Loetschberg
tunnel, which was planned to give the
Pitnplon tunnel way line a direct connec
tion with the railways which traverse
Switzerland from north to south, there will
be a direct route from Milan to Berne and
thence td Calais and Boulogne. The dis
tance from Milan to Calais by this route
will be about 675 miles, or nearly eighty
miles less than the existing routes. The
tunnel will be double-tracked throughout.

Two of the local clubs hold their open
ings for the summer Saturday, the Happy
Hollow Country club and the Council
Bluffs Rowing association. The Omaha
Rod and Gun dub will also open Its doors
for the benefit of the early fisherman, who
wishes to begin his angling season on
April 1.
- The Happy Hollow club and of course all
of the Omaha Country clubs have been
open as far as the golf course was con
cerned for some time. The Happy Hollow
club Is enabled to open Its doors a month
ahead of the other clubs because its club
house is equipped with a number of fire
places in which rousing fires may be built
and the chill taken out of the rooms.
All of April the Happy Hollow members
will attend their club house In merry glee.
The other clubs are keeping their members
on the porches in those April rains. There
wll probably be a number of dances given
this spring If the weather is not too cold,
for the younger members, and dinners will
be served the same as in the midsummer
season.
At the Rod and Gun club on Carter lake,
and at the Council Bluffs Rowing associ
ation, to which many Qmaha people belong
the early spring festivities will consist
chiefly of fishing and boating.' Golf Is one
of the sports at the Council Bluffs organi
zation, which has Its ground on Lake
Manawo, and tennis is one of the popular
amusements at the Gun club, but neither
of the clubs do much in either sport until
after May L
The other outdoor clubs of Omaha will
hold their openings the first week of May.

Cross-Examined.
HE ' DENIES ALL ACCUSATIONS
Man with Remarkable Career Rldl
enlea Traditions of Ills Power
Political Grafter and
Bandit.
VITFTRBO, Italy. March Jrl.-The lovers
of the dramatic had their fill at today's
session of the trial of the thirty-six Caroor
rists for murder. F.nrloo Alfano, generally
called Errlcone. the terror of Italy, re
puted to be the actual head of the criminal
organization, was under Interrogation and
held the spectators spellbound with the
eloquence of his denials.
The man Is Innocent or a consummate
actor. As he proceeded ths slender figure
seemed to grow until it dominated the
court room and friends and enemies alike
shrank from the gaze that he fixed first
on one and then another, while he poured
forth the most scathing arraignment of the
authorities that has ever been heard In an
Italian court of Justice.
"I am a victim of yellow Journalism," he
cried. "I have been ruined by carabineer,
who have made me appear a an assasln."
Prisoner Enthralls Aadltors.
Errlcone could not have done it better
If he had rehearsed the part for years. He
began modestly and calmly, gradually rais
ing his voice and displaying his emotions
until he had his auditors enthralled. You
could have heard a pin drop when Presi
dent Rlanchl commanded Errlcone to come
from the prisoners' steel csge arid take a
place before the bar. Quietly Errlcone
stepped forth and assumed a natural atti
tude, without any attempt at the theatri
cal, Just In front of the Justice's bench. He
replied to the preliminary questions In a
voice that was penetrating, but hot loiid.
He denied categorically the acouiatlons of
the Informer. Oennaro Abbatemntcrto. He
said he was not In a position to condemn
the Cuoccolos to death.
"The story that I have ever been the
head of the Camorra is a legend.'' he said.
"I was never Its head, nor Its tail."
He admitted that in youth he was arro
gant and quarrelsome, and even had com
mitted some excesses. "But," he asked,
"what youth of my class In Naples has
not been arrogant, quarrelsome and guilty
of boyish excesses?"
' Peroration is Eloqnent.
As the questioning proceeded Errlcone
showed signs of Irritation, finally trembling
with excitement. As the thrusts of the
president and crown prosecutor went home
Errlcone's faes hardened with anger, until
he looked like a savag-e animal about to
spring on Its prey. Suddenly he abandoned
all his composure and gave free reign to
his feelings in a peroration that waa truly
eloquent.
Having admitted his youthful excesses,
Errlcone declared his character Was
ruined, "by the sensationalism of that
newspaper, the Mattlno."
"Although," he continued, "I now refrret
the deed all my nerves rebelled as a mem
ber of the etaff of that paper approached
mo when I was arraigned In court as a
murderer, and I could not help splttjng
In his face.
"Then the carabineer damned me by
making me appear as an assessin. To
call us assaaslns Is Inhuman cruelty. No
one has a right to so stigmatise us; not
even a confessed . criminal who to serve
his own ends, becomes an assassin only
after he has been condemned
President Blanchi, interrupting, beeeeched
Errlcone to calm himself, but tha only
effect was to cause the prisoner to burst
Into tears and, sobbing violently, he con
tinued: "For four years I have suffered perse
cution and martyrdom. Constantly before
my eyes Is a picture of my Innocent brother
dying in a prison cell adjoining my own.
In my ears ring his laments ss he passed
through the agony of death. He was young
and the beautiful image of his Creator. He
died Innocent.'
For a moment Errlcone paused and the
only sound came from the prisoners' cage
where Oennaro Ibeill, alleged head of the
camorra in the Vesuvlan villages, leaning
his head against the steel bars, cried Ilka
a child.
Informer Is Denounced.
It was a dramatic moment and there was
a sigh of relief among the spectators when
Errlcone got his feelings under control and
launched into a denunciation of Ab
batemaggto. He described the informer as
a poor young man whom he had helped by
giving him employment as a stable boy.
Errlcone said that Abbatsmagglo had re
turned his generosity by stealing from him,
blackmailing- him and finally trying to
ruin him.
"Ametta a brigadier of the carabineers,"
remarked the president, "has declared that
you are a camorrlst."
Errlcone replied:
"All Naples knows that Ametta Is dis
reputable. He is ths compsnlon of evil
women."
"But Ametta has been accused, tried
and acquitted."
tAU Naples knows how xertaln ac
quittals can be obtained." Was the re
Joinder of the prisoner.
Career of Errlcone.
Errlcone began Ms business career as an
errand boy In a flower shop. Early 1a 112a
he had a place of his own. Then he estab
lished a grain market and speculated In
cattle, bargaining wtih the farmers who
