10 A THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JULY 12, 1914. GHOSTS HAUNTTHE JACKS Stalk Forth as the Battle-Blasted Heroes Hold Confab. ALMOST QUIET PEACE TALK Their Hope of Crumb from the Jim Banqnet Table Olrrs iSitnt Hope to QnnllltiK llrnrta, nnd While Flnir U Hoisted. A slioetlr spirit, rising wraith-like from the dead ashes of a lurid past, spread Its phantom wloin of peace over the aged Jacksonlan club last iilffht, and In Its false shadow plumed Jacks severally brose and pathetically pleaded for belated alliance with tho spanking knights ot Pahlman democracy. And nary a Jim, mayhap weary of standing those many years with thumbs down, was thero to hear the humble supplication and to ac. eept tho proffered aword of surrender, had the spirit so moved htm, We have no fight with Dohlman democracy for what It has dono or what It has been In the past," cried J. W. Woodrough, "for we know that the Dahl man knights did tho work wo should havo done. We must be done with fac. tlonallam." Vision of Peed Trough. And before the eyes of the thirty-five assembled Jacks a -vivid vision rose; a vision of battle and blasted hopes and Jacks trampled beneath the haughty heels of the Jims; a vision of the victors fattening at the trough of office, meanwhile keeping back with vigorous kicks the Jacks, who timorously sought for crumbs; and there were sounds of vicious epithets hurled with deadly aim athwart the sweating brows of the beaten and disheartened Jacks. "Let us unite," Woodrough shouted, and straightway Into their midst stalked the gray old ghost of a wounded Jack, laid low in battlo and left bleeding there by the uncompromising Jims; left bleeding there for these dark years, since a certain day when fists wero clinched and the Issue Joined In final scrimmage. A faint applause went tottering around the circle of Jacks, as If It were given with palsied hands, but the valiant speaker rose higher on his toes and cried again: "Out d Spot.' "Down with factional strl ," and then a mist came over his eyes, for the death's head of memory stood there, grinning uncannily, all smeared with bad mem ories, and Woodrough hurriod on to thoughts more pleasant Not a great deal of faith was put In the possibility of a reconciliation, for a committee, consisting of Woodrough, IU J. Altchlson and Herbert Daniels, was appointed to "take care ot the matter of delegates" to the state convention at Co lumbu July 28. May Try to Contest. In case the Jim rofuss to give tho Jacks "proper recognition" the Jacks will send their own delegates from all pre ctticts to the state convention, supposing, o"! course, they lose the proposed fight tot powtr In the county convention, JulyH. After Woodrough, Chairman V. X Weaver called on other speakers. W. F. Baxter spoke, -urging the need ot business men going Into politics,, and Wj II. Oreon. and others addressed the itietUiig, ad vancing pat scheme oad pledging; support t$ (h4 national demoordtlo admlatetraUon- The JBconpmlo league, detested of Dohl man democracy, attended til a meeting al most In a body, "for the Boonomlo league," said a Dahlman man, "Is a child t the Jacksonlan club, God help It." On the Grand Old Game of Golf Rumor Huerta Will Resign in Favor of Minister Carbajal WASHINGTON, July 11. Information was received from Mexico City by diplo mats1 here today saying doners! Huerta would resign within two or three days In favor of Francisco Carbajal, newly ap pointed minister ot foreign affairs. It was learned that the appointment ot Carbajal, who took office yesterday, Is part ot a general program by which It is hoped to make peace with the constitu tionalists. Tho Huerta delegates to the Niagara conference aro Indicated to have been awaiting this move for several days, Carbajal has long been a member ot the supreme court of Mexico and on May SI last was elected chlet jMtlce. lteallzlng that the constitutionalist gen erals would disapprove tho plan for peace conferences with representatives ot Gen eral Huerta as proposed by the mediators, because they do not wish to have dealings In any form with Huerta, tho suggestion was mode to the Huerta group that an other man bo placed In power with whom the constitutionalists might feel disposed to treat Carbajal' Is a member ot the class which supported Huerta, but la regarded as hav ing liberal sympathies. He was the peace envoy whom General Porflro Diaz sent tc Juarez In 1911 and arranged with Ma- J dero for the transfer ot power to the successful revolutionists, j It Is believed here that Carbajal will endeavor to arrange terms ot peace which j would be virtually a surrender. The peo-1 pie In Mexico City are reported appre hensive of a military conquest ot tho capi tal, and the efforts ot an Influential class are believed to be directed toward ar ranging a peaceful transfer of power. There would be no necessity for a large army to enter the Mexican capital under such a plan, but merely a few thousand men able to maintain order after the federal troops evacuate the city. (Response by Mr. Thomas J. Kelly to a loosi ai tne nappy Jiollow clubs ban quet to the golfers who participated In the state tournament last week.) "A few of us were sitting In the seat of the scornful the other evening as the shades of night were being pulled down, and as we looked off to the south from the golf shop, wo beheld two figures standing In the tee which Is dignified by tho name of Number Ten. "Under the shade of the neighboring tree stood the pro our ever Industrious nnd always active pro luring Into the ways of evil a poor unfortunate victim. Innocent and beautiful and sweet-souled. Just ns wo all were at one time. We watched this latest victim as he relaxed his arms, made firm the left knee, loos ened the wrist muscles and kept his head still and his eyes on the ball. "We alt said sympathetic things rbout the poor, innocent lamb that was being! led to tho slaughter this gentle person who was swinging with the graco cf a professional. Wo were moved to alnif with happy voices tho well known song of tho Justly celebrated Scottish bind. Charlie Johnson 'Every movo a Mcture. every shot a lesson.' "And wo all said there was the-time when we stood there In like position, and swung and swang and pivoted nnd ac quired wonderful power if sending tho little dimple a-laughlng down the face of the courso. , And by the way, what diabolical. Sa tanic fiend from the bottom of tho bot tomless pit dared to throw that inhuman Jest in the face of golfers? I mean call ing that accursed little ball that docs everything It should not! which hides be hind every bunch of thick grass, which flics to alfalfa fields instead of putting greens, which seeks gullies Instead of di rection flags, which refuses obstinately to go Into a little hole as big as a coffee pot this Impish absurdity, I repeat, who was the wretch that leered In the face of mankind with his coarse Jest and called It a "baby dlmplof The dimple of a baby I "But wo left our people at the tenth toe. They are there stIU. The swing Is now being dono with the Iron clubs. The pro Is speaking; 'A little closer to the ball, please; not so far back; don't go baclc so quick.' Ah, yes, we all know how tho victim was being; prepared. The ritual waa going strictly as usual, and tho bronzed ltttlo pro was beginning to look happy. "And Just think what misery could havo been avoided If the pro had only taken the poor young chap to one aide and had cnld; 8e here, old chap, this golf Is not a game It Is n, passion, a temptation. It can be avoided If you fight It If not It will develop Into an appetite. Only a matter of time and It Is an Incurable disease. Tou may get tho better of It If you should be fortun ate and break your log, but chanoa la against you.' "But the pro wasn't that kind of a pro, and so continued with his lesson. "Oolf has Invaded the church, too. Too fellows go to church and the choir sings about ' something holy, and you think Instantly ot hollnr; a PU. Tho minister romarks . about Impedimenta .and hazards nnd handicaps In life's race, and you think- of' bunkers -and' sandpits'' and how rotteh. are the decisions of the handicap committee. Tou hear' the 'glory song, nnd .at once thjnk-.of ,.the 'gl6ry dimple. Someone reads'' itt?Hii,'-tfllne eyei,1 and you at once think that's Just what you ,dld on your, fifteenths when you hissed "At a funeral alt you can think of 'ia 'one down at the last hole,' and at a wedding you see the minister standing on one side of the. chancel rail and the bridal couple on the other, and you Im mediately think, 'two up , on tho out side, and one up on the In.' "And so golf gets Into the service no much that you deelds to stay away from church, and lo, yon have given up your religion for tho pastime. "Home life Is the oame way. It be gins by being a little late for dinner, and then develops rapidly till flncJly you lay awako nights thinking up excuses for not being home to get acquainted with the wife and family at 6 o'clock, Family relations are endangered and the affections and unselfishness of the hus band and wife ore rudely broken by the Inroads of this disease known as golf. "Buatneas lite Is shattered by It. How Men Pay Homag t to Mother's Friend often have we heard certain Ug business men here mekly call their offices and beg their head clerks to attend to mat ters of business detail for them, because they were 'Indisposed,' or 'expected to go to Chicago overnight' "But wo forgot the two mon at the tenth teo. It now Is dark. The shades of night have been pulled do mi. The peaceful calm and tranquil reetfulness of the scne. What could be more serene more beautiful, than a golf course at dusk. But there are times when It la whipped Into a thousand furiea by the wind, and one hears the shrieks ot the caddy as a ball goes hurtling toward some unsuspecting gallery god, and we hear the loud prayers and Imprecations ot tho disappointed player, who haa dubbed his wooden shot This Is what Is technically known as 'addressing the ball.' "Then from the tenth tee come trudg ing the pro and his victim. This Is all wo .can stand. The beginner scans the new clubs and says he believes he'll buy a putter. That is so he can do his putter ing around the course. Sadly we take a drink of ginger ale, or root beer with cream, and lay our garments by, and are thankful we have engagements that will prevent us playing for tho next four days. "I am constrained to remark, In clos ing, that an unpublished work on Long, fellow suggests that the poet was watch ing a golf game one day and after wit nessing some of the drives, went home and wrote 'The Village Blacksmith." The tree was removed In 1875, because It Im periled drivers this would suggest thai golf waa prevalent around there also. And the poem waa published first In The Knickerbocker Magazine,' a ceraln sign that golf Was In the poet's mind." MUNICIPAL BATH READY SOON Will B for Free Use of Women, Men and Children. MUST BENT THE BUTTS FIRST Expert Sirlmmlns; Instructor to Be In Churn to Prevent Accidents Under Control ot the City Council. The municipal bath house at the foot ot Ames avonue will be completed next week and city commissioners will place expert swimmers In charge of It and throw It open to the public, men, women, boys and girls. This bath bouse was built by the city commission at a nominal expense to meet the demands for a public bathing place It will be managed under the supervision of the city council. "We will take every precaution to pre vent accidents," said City Commissioner Dan B. Butler. "Expert swimmers will be In charge at all times." Bathing suits will be purchased later and kept for rent, but In the beginning the bathers will have to provide them selves with suits. i AFFAIRS ATJOUTH OMAHA Beef and Hog Supply Grow Very Thin at Packing Center. LOOKING- FOR PRICE BOOST Sherp Mnrket Only One that Ap pears to Be Holding; Up, rrlth Large Supply Coming In. Beet supply Is growing thinner and thinner and the hog receipts are practi cally played out at the local market Sheep alone show up anything like steady, and reports for' a quick rise In the prices of beef and pork are looked for. It la said that the packers have been quietly filling their cellars and that when the time comes meat will be placed on the market, but meat at the highest prices ever reached. There Is no doubt that the Chicago reports of rising prices means the some thing here In South Omaha and In tho Missouri valley. There Is a shortage ot cattle here and tho hogs have reached the tall end of the season, and little It any choico stuff Is coming in. As far as beef Is concerned the recolpts of the present week will be In the neigh borhood of 5.C00 head short ot last week's recolpts, and 2,000 head short ot the samo week a year ago. The receipts for the present week In hogs are more than 12.000 short of those a week ago, and about 7,000 short of the same week last year. Reports from Kansas City's hog market yesterday Indicated something like 2.B00 head received, when the ordinary run la nearer to as many thousand. While both beef and pork markets have been at a tension during the last year, there has been little doubt that the packers have been quietly preparing for the shortage. It Is said by men who refute to bj quoted, that the local pack era have- their cellars pretty well filled and whatever tho prices may rango to, at least there will be a good supply of meat stored away to catch the high prices from the consumer. In the yards, for the last year or two, there has been a steady development of the sheep market, which has reached great proportions. Hent Attack Severe. Shortly after noon yesterday Jacob Novak, ,60 years of age, was stricken with the heat at Thirtieth and M streets. He resides at Thirty-fifth and K streets and works for Armour and company. The place of his occupation is very warm and When he got into the sun the heat proved too much. Dr. E. J. Shanahan attended him and sent htm to the South Omaha hospital, where his condition Is critical. Few Fundi Short. With a month to go, the city has Just about enough money to get through on, except possibly th fire and police fund, the water fund and the park fund.
