tho endurance of tho Douglas county

to tho utmost Tho game was a thriller
from the first call of the referee's whlstlo

kept in an uproar. One hundred and

Omaha Leads nt Stnrt.
Omaha took an early lead and had
scored six points on goals from field

Motris, who made fourteen of tho Lin

and followed It up with two points from
frco throws, after ho had missed six
opportunities to scoro In this way., With
the scoro a tie, Barry and Flothow again
put Omaha In the lead with two field
goals, but Morris scored four more
points, ono of which was awarded Lin

attempted throw by Albrccht.
Just before tho close of the first half
MorrlB scored another point on freo
throws, putting Lincoln In tho lead.
At the opening of tho second half
Leese made a spectacular basket from
tho center of the floor and Lincoln held
the lead until within fifty seconds of the
close of tho second half, when Albrecht,
exhausted and attempting to dribble the
ball, fouled by touching it with both
hands.
Flothow took most of tho remaining

CINCINNATI, March 15.-Holdlng that
tho reservation of umpires by minor baso

National association and Is not effectlvo
as regards the major leagues, the Na

mended that Umpires George H, John

State league bo permitted to advance to
a higher leaguo for a consideration for

president of the New York State league
and the president of the league desiring
their services. In case theso persons

The two umpires named contended that
as a result of the reservation by the
New York Btate leaguo for 1914 they were
unablo to accept offers from leagues of
higher classification at higher salaries.
The minor leagues Insist that tho devel

Spectators not only saw a rough basket

Men's Christian association, when tho
Magee t Deemcrs defeated the Nebraska
Telephone company quintet, by the scoro
of 27 to 22, but also numerous wrestling
matches vfMi a great deal of foot ball In
tel mixed. From tho beginning, tho game
was a continual battle, punctured now
and then by sensational field goals. Sev
eral times tho players were on tho verge
of fisticuff engagements and wcro re
peatedly warned by tho referee to cut the
"rough stuff," on penalty of being put
out of the contest.
Though tho Nebraska Telephone com
pany quintet was handicapped by having
two star players out of the contest be
cause of Injury, they gave the clothiers
a close run, and had luck been with them
In basket shooting thoy would have given
their opponents a drubbing. Play started
with the clothiers taking the lead, which
they managed to hold throughout tho first
period, the half ending, 11 to 5. Their team
work during this half was superb, prac
tically all of their baskets being made
through this important agent of tho
game.
Phone Men Come Back.
The telephone men came back In tho
next half with an aggressiveness that sur
prised their opponents. So aggressive did
they become that Referee Hansen found
enough fault In tholr play to call ten
fouls. As Meyers of the Mageo & Deem
crs, was in excellent form, ho managed
to make good use of the fouls by throw
ing the greater number of them. Toward
tho closo of tho gamo tho wlro-talkors
took a spurt which almost placed them
In tho lead'. Three sensational field goals
In succession so surprised tho Mageo &
Deemcrs that they stopped the gamo to
see how It was done. Nagle, star for
ward, suddenly discovered that he had
pain in his side and called for time.
After ffvo minutes' rest the Magee &
Deemers seemed to hold out against the
onslaught of their opponents, tho gamo
'ending,' 27 to 22.
Meyer, for the Mageo & Deemcrs, was
the star performer when it camo to mak

being chalked up to his credit. For tho

(From a Staff Correspondent)
DISS MOINES. la., March 15.-(Spccktl.)
A part, at least, of tho Jockeying which
has been going on relative to the National
Lire association, In this city, is said to
have reference to the forthcoming chango
In tho management of the state Insurance
affairs. This change takes placo July 1.
At that time there will be appointed a state
insuranco commissioner who will take
over the entire work and tako it out of the
hands of the auditor of state.
When tho affairs of tho National Life
association became critical the state au
ditor sent a special examiner to look Into
Its affairs. The former examiner, whoso
reports had been accepted In regard to
tho company, immediately resigned and
became connccte'd with the National Llfo
association. Then It was discovered that
the association had been Issuing Irregular
policies for several years. The next stop
was for the former examiner, , who hnd
Just become connected with the company,
to become a candidate for Btate insurance
commissioner.
Otlirr Candidates for Place.
But thero aro other candidates for the
place. Tho improsslon is that tho large
Insuranco Interests which are concen
trated hero desire that the commissioner
shall be one of their friends.
The new Insurance commissioner will
begin at once tho handling of the vast
insurance business of the state, but he
will not take over the securities on file
with the auditor of etato for six months.
Theso securities now amount to over $50,-
030,000. They are the mortgages and bonds
owned by the Insurance companies and
are merely kept on hand to show that
they havo such funds and are solvent.
Geological Papers to lie Printed.
Tho state geological survey will soon
publish a bulletin containing some In
teresting matter for Iowa people. In
cluded In the bulletin will bo papers, as
follows: By Prof. O. P. Hay. Washing
ton, on "The Extinct Mammals of Iowa;"
M. M. Layton, on "Tho History of the
Iowa River Valley;" A. W, Hlxson, on
"Tho History of the Coal Bods of the
State," and by James H, Lees, on "The
History of the Des Moines River Valley."
Value of Iowa Coal.
Recent investigation by the state min
ing department shows that the British
thermal unit value of Iowa coal Is
greater than that of Illinois coal, despite
tho general Impression that the imported
coal Is best. Samples wero taken from
the four best mines In the state and four
best supplying coal from Illinois. Tho
average unit voluo for the Iowa coal
was 12,630, while for tho Illinois coal It
was 12,172. The mines selected are those
which furnish at least a part of the coal
for the state at Institutions.
Will Get Industrial School.
Tha town of Independence will get Its
Industrial school, as the result of the will
of F. Munson, an honored resident of that
place, tha supremo court has decided. Mun
son left 100 shares of bank stock to his
sisters and brothers to be enjoyed by
them until their death, then to be turned
over to the trustees of the Munson In
dustrial Training school of Independence.
He left 115,000 to bo Immediately invested
In a library building for the school. The
court finds that If a man wants to leave
his money to charity It Is his own affair
and the courts will not Interfere,

Unseed Oil Bill Will Pass.
Ben Itlff, deputy stato dairy and food
commissioner, returned today from Wash
ington, where he appeared on behalf of
tho Iowa department before a congres
sional committee to urge the passage of
"Bud" Fisher
) w vcj." ' 1 - ' '
the Kenyon bill to forbid Interstate traftlo
In adulterated linseed oil. He believes
thnt the imrresslon mado was so favor
ablo that thero will bo no troublo In se
curing tho passago of tho bill through
congress. Tho Iowa law has practically
ended all trnfflo In adulterated Unseed
oil, except that some of It Is shipped
across stato lines and sold immediately.
With the adoption of tho bill In tho hands
of Senator Kenyon It Is believed that all
the traffic will cease. Tho Iowa Jaw Is
tho pattern for the proposed national law.
linker Will Remain In Prison.
Tho parole board last week mado a full
Investigation of tho case of Guy Baker of
Lono Tree, serving a fifteen-year sen
tenco for murdor and decided that no
action was necessnry at this time. Baker
killed a man who had formerly been lit
his employment. He has claimed self-defense.
But tho board was also Informed
that Baker had been repeatedly fined for
assaults and there aro rumors that In hli
various fracases ho has caused tho death
of two other persons. In view of his rec
ord for being quarreleomo and a danger-
oils person the board will permit htm to
remain In prison for several years,
nine Sky vVppcnl Soon to Hp Heard.
The supreme court has advanced tho
hearing on tho bluesky law so that it will
como nt tho April sitting. The court has
permitted the case to be advanced be-
causo of Its Immediate Importance. Tho
law was attacked on various grounds In
the district court and tho judgo held tho
law to bo In violation of the constitution
In a great many respects. This has
caused a halt In tho strict enforcement
of tho law. The papers aro being .pre
pared by tho lawyers now for an Imme
diate appeal.
