AMATEURS ADOPT
NEW CONSTITUTION
Board of Director! Sit in Over a
Three-Hour Session to Remedy
Erili Uncovered Last Year.
HARVARD STAR WILL BECOME
GRID COACH.
CLASSIFICATION IS SETTLED
After a session extending over three
hours and half, the board of director of
tha Omaha Amateur Bane Ball assocla
tlon adopted a new constitution and by
laws which sre calculated to remedy a
number of evll which arose laJit year,
at a meeting at tha city hall Wednesday
rlfhU ' .
Many new' feature and rlsuees were
drafted Into tha new constitution and
with but a few more points to fettle,
everything will be ready for the opening
of the naion April 16.
One new feature of the constitution has
to do" with classification of players and
eligibility to play In city series games.
These points were very vague In the old
constitution and by-laws and last year
resulted In a couple of scraps which al
most started a riot.
This year all players must be under
contract by June 15, except In esses of
emergency and then the sanction of both
the league Involved and the board of di
rectors must be obtained. In addition s
player must play In at least three games
of five Innings In order to be eligible to
play In the city series.
In the matter of craaalfleatlon a play
ers classification is determined by the
Sunday league In which he plays and he
will not be permitted to play In two fun
day leagues of different classification.
Thus, it Is believed, that no disputes
ver classification of players or their eli
gibility will come up when the city series
is played In the fail.
No decision was made last night as to
whloh of the rival national a-mateur as
sociations tha Omaha association would
ultimately affiliate with. Omaha con
tlnues to retain Its franchise in the old
national association, but may hurdle to
the new federation In case the new or
ganisation proves the strongest.

gress was evidenced by Chairman Stone
of the foreign relations committee wlier.
Senator Johnson of South Dskota. read
a telegram from Yankton offering a
company of men to the army. Senator
Smoot. republican, agreed with the demo
cratic senator. He said he had received
many similar telegrams and deemed it
his duty to refer them to the War de

acute, and whatever tends to add to the
cuteness of that situation. I regard as
something that would better be left un

An opportunity to consider Senator
Sherman' resolution directing the preal-
detit to call for HI.OiW volunteers for Mex

yon, republican, who Inquired it Senator
Sherman Intended to bring it up for dis
cussion. Senator Stone said he hoped
it would not be called up for general dis
cussion and the vice president recognised
Senator Works, who made a long speech
on preparedness.
Senator Sherman, thus cut off from
speaking on his resolution, expressed his
views by Issuing a formal statement. In
which he warned against the dangers of
being unprepared to deal wtlh a larger
situation.
"We are thrusting t'.r men Into un
known danger without tafeguardlng them
by prompt preparation," he ssld. "We

",r;ntlnned From Yesterday
In an Instant the prosecutor was on hi
feet. but. quick as he was, the Jui'g
was quicker. The unexpected turn had!
come In the evidence, and his honor
briefly announced a thirty-minute reoes.
Had he been the stage manager, rathe'r
than Daniels, he could not have chosen
a more dramatic moment to bring the
testimony to Its temporary close. And,
while the recess waa a welcome One to
Langdon, since It gave him the oppor
tunity to plan his questioning along
definite lines, snd also came as a re
lief to the witness hlmaeif, the mur
murs of disappointment throughout the
room almost reached open invective
Every man and woman among the
spectators waa keyed to the highest
tension by the swiftly moving events, and
lo drop from these heights to the flatness
of mere wslttng strained patience to the
breaking point. The scraping of chairs
slong the floor, the shuffling, of feet, the
waves of shrill whispering question and
comment all the sounds of restless huT
manlty replaced the tense silence which
had gone before and when at last the
clock had ticked out its slow half hour
and the bailiff brought Daniels back to
the witness stand there was an audible
sigh of relief from the spectators that
under any other circumstances would
have won a laugh from Langdon.
Now, however, he was too Intent upon
the possibilities that lay behind Daniels
startling statement to be even conscious
of the audience that was watching with
such avid curiosity the enactment of this
drama. Ho waa more than thankful to
the Judge whose haaty receas had
momentarily stopped the protest from
the prosecutor, and It was with a rush
of relief that he saw the latter take his
seat when court reopened and realised
that, after all, Daniels' statment waa to
pass without a legal wrangle. It made
his first question an easy one.
"Mr. Daniels, you say that you hadi
heard Mr. Pollock threaten to kill the
defendant and himself. Will you tell the
court when that threat was made and to
whom?"
"Tt waa made to me. on an occasion
when I almost became an unwitting ac
complice In a murder, during the re
hearsals of 'The Seekers.' "
"Whose murder?"
"Mr. Langdon's."
A startled aob caught at Mary's throat
at the words and, lifting her head, she
looked at Langdon with such an expres
sion In her ees thnt for a moment he
forgot the court, the Judge and the wit
ness on the stand, and knew only, with
i blinding rush' of Joy, that whatever
happened she loved him. That realixa
'.Ion was surging through Msry herself
at 'the moment, and she felt as If she
were seeing him for the first time truly
and fairly. Heretofore he had always
been the protector, always the brave
and the strong, and toe thought of him
In peril, the unbelleveable horror of the
Idea of harm coming to him shook her
with a storm of Intense emotion which
found expression In the sudden Tame,
of tenderness that leapt from her eyes to
Langdon's.
The protective maternal Instinct that
Is always the real keynote of a woman's
deeper love came to the fore for the first
time and was followed by a swift fierce
gladness that David Pollock was dead!
Whatever the tragedy and the suffering
that enmeahed her, at least Phl'lp was
safe, -and at the thought all the fear
to be a kidnapping to to get you Mr.
Langdon, I mean out of the way till
after the opening of "The Seekers.' "
"Tou say 'Juet a kidnapping.' Mr. Dan
iels. broke In the judge harshly. "Did
you not know that the law does not con
sider 'kidnapping' a light offense?"
"Yes, I know," Daniels' voice .
husky and uncertain. "I knew, but all
1 had waa Invested In this new play, and
If Dave Pollock had pulled out then, I'd
have lost It all and I've got a wife and
daughter. I didn't think any harm would
come to Mr. Langdon; In fact, Mr. Pol
lock promised It wouldn't, or I'd never
have let that man Shale take the watch
man's place."
"When was that?"
"During the rehearsals, as 1 ssld. Dave
came to me and ssld that Philip I-ang-dnn
was butting In too much, that ha was
upsetting Miss Page and making trouble
for him that Is Pollock and he wanted
him out of the way. Then he said he had
a plan to kidnap Iengdon and take him
out to the country till after the opening
of the play. At flrat I wouldn't listen, hut
flnallyI did. It sounded simple enough.
I was to send for Lengdon late that
night, supposedly to ask him something
about the Page contract. In the mean
time we were to drug the watchman
and let Shale Pollock's Jackal, they rail
him, you know take his place. Then
when Mr. Langdon was leaving the
watchman was to nah him and carry
him out to a watting automobile and cart
him off." a
"Were these plans carried out?"
"No. That Is, not the latter part. It
waa then that I found out about the at
tempt at murder."
"Will you tell tha court In detail Just
what happened on that night?"
