CREIGHTON WILL PLAY
BASE BALL THIS SPRING
The outlook for baa ball at Creightoa
university this anting la very poor. At a
meeting ot the gnembers of last year's
team with Father Devlin, manager of
athletics. It waa decided not to put a
team tnt th field. The reason for thla
action waa the poor support given last
year's team, a lack of good varsity ma
terial and a shortage In the athletic fund
caueed by foot ball.
The principal reason Is th lack of sup
port by tha students. Last year Cretaitot
met Morntngalde, Dea Motnaa college aad
Tabor on Crelghton field and tailed 'to
make expensea on a single gam. The
same result la feared thla year. Ctiigbj
toa lacks varsity material because ot tb
early date on which the profasaorvJ de
partments of the University are dlamlased.
Again, the bet players in these depart
ments hav played professional ball and
the management refusea to let them play.
The foot ball season hss been a failure
from a financial standpoint, and there
was a deficit In spit of the student ticket
ruling.

Resolved to have a new. community,
factory building for. Omaha within a
year, th real estate committee of the
Commercial -club has organised a sub
oemmlttea, .compost d of Harry Tukey,
C. C George and Ooorg T. Morten, to
reduce Into concise and brief form all
tb data collected on the operation of
similar factory buildings In other cttlea,
for preeentation to tho committee.
The proposed building would be four
or five stories high, would eovr on or
two lots and would be for th home of
an indefinite number ot small factories
which now have no adequate euartara.
With central power, heating and light
ing plants, this building would offer tb
maximum of up-to-date facilities at a
minimum of cost.
Such hulMlngs have proven successful
In Cincinnati, Indlanapons, Dayton and
Haverhill, Mass., from the standpoint of
tha Investors who have erected th build

On Saturday moraine a prominent New

husband, who is interested In com of the
city's public utilities, visited the exhibit
and waa very much aaionlahed to find
such a collection of picture ao far west
so uniformly cood and with so little pad-,

Tha extremely low price ot admission
encourages visitors to com mora thaa
once and there have been many seaaoa

city would feel that It waa "toe poor to

Mr. Latenser said that th building had
never been completed, although H 71.0000

to accept the presidential nomination aad
hla consequent open bresk with President

removed a picturesque possibility In con

Mexico.
Senators who claimed to be conversant
with tha facta said that Just about a year
ago when the Madero revolution was at
Its height In Mexico and the possibility
of American Intervention waa being
discussed. Colonel Roosevelt wrote a let
ter to President Taft volunteering to head
a regiment of cavalry which was to be
In tha forefront of the Invading force.

President Tat's reply was addressed
"Dear Theodore.", .
It said, according to reports, that tho
