p BRINGING UP FATHER 'j WY 0MAr'SW " NATIONAL TROTTING BOARDIN SESSION Proposition for Uniform Har ness Racing Rules Probably Will Go Over for Year. DIRECTORS ARE ELECTED New York, Dec. 7. The proposi tion to make the rules of harness rac ing uniform' on all tracks through joint action of committees of the Na tional Trotting association and American Trottiiig association may not succeed, officers of the National Association declared today, owing to f the failure of the American associa ' tion to clothe its rules committee with authority to act. The American association sent word that it had appointed a com mittee of six to meet with a commit tee chosen on Tuesday by the special congress of the National Trotting as sociation here and urged "that meet ings of the joint committee shall take fl lace not later than the middle of De cember." Up to the time the National ajt association adjourned it had received no reply to a telegram asking whether the western committee had power to act. Pierre Lorillard, jr., of Tuxedo Park, N. Y.; Henry B. Rea of Pitts burgh, Pa., and Reese Blizzard of Parkersburg, W. Va., were elected to " fill vacancies on the .board of review of the National association. In the docket of turf legislation the Xonly case of general interest decided was one from Sacramento, Cal., in volving a ruling of local judges last summer in a race for the Occident cup for 3-year-olds. The race was trotted on a heat-dash system and by the published conditions was to end after three heats. When three heats had been trotted, however, two horses were tied for first money and the cup. The judges ordered another heat, but one of the owners had protested the ruling and appealed to the turf court. , The protest was sustained by the , ' board in an order to the judges to di vide first money and either give a cup to each colt or let the drivers draw lots for the one in dispute. Carpentier Says No Proposition for Bout Yet Received Paris, Dec. 7. The personal de sire of Georges Carpentier, the French aviator and champion heavyweight pugilist of Europe, is to remain with the French flying corps at the front, a desire he expressed each time an offer from the United States to ar range a bout for him has been re ceived. The report that he has been given a furlough for a match in New York with Jess Willard is at least premature. From the reports received here it appears that Carpentier by boxing in the United States' could contribute appreciably to the war relief funds. and his manager, Francois Des Camps, I told the Associated Press today that j Carpentier might go there provided j he received permission. Thus far, i however, no definite proposition for a bout between Carpentier and Willard had been received here. Miss Eliza-! beth Marbury. who is prominently i connected with French war relief work in New York, has been author ized, said Des Camps, to act for him in any negotiations in the United States. Des Camps Asserted that in an ex hibition Carpentier gave at the Troca dero the pugilist was faster than ?ver. He added that the reappearance t Carpentier m the nne before the end of the war all depended, first, on the French military authorities. and. second, on the propositions that might betrcceived.

BAN JOHNSON IS NEUTRAL Chicago, Dec. 7. A plan to form a third major league out of the Interna tional league and the American as sociation may be taken up at the annual meeting of the club owners of the latter organization in Indianapo lis tomorrow, according to the Herald today. The plan advanced recently to Pres ident B. B. Johnson of the American league was to combine Baltimore, Newark, Buffalo and Toronto of the International and Toledo, Milwaukee, Indianapolis and Louisville of the American association. It was later suggested to substitute Columbus for Milwaukee in order to make (he new circuit more compact. '- ' '' " ' "I am not against the movement to have a third major league," President Johnson said, "but so far I am only an outsider. If they can arrange to combine the cities mentioned it would make a strong circuit and do much to revive interest in the game in certain of these cities."

Gray, drafted last September by the Chicago American league club from the Wichita , club of the Western league, was today declared a free agent unless he has signed with the Chicago club since being drafted. Gray claimed to be a free agent be cause of the' fact that when the Wich ita club was turned over to the West ern league organization, owing to alleged financial difficulties, his salary was unpaid to the extent of $157.32. The commission ruled that inasmuch as this money had not been paid the player had the prerogative of either playing with the team under promise of being paid back salary at a later date, or of refusing to play. The player refused to play and claimed that by so doing automatically became a free agent when his back salary was not paid within a reason able length of time. He was upheld in this contention by the commission, who ordered the draft of the Chicago club cancelled and their check re turned to them. The commission ruled, however, that any contract signed by Gray with Chicago would be field valid and binding. In connection with this case the commission learned through President Zehrung of the Western league that the back salaries of former Wichita players from August 1 to September 5, 1916, had not been paid. The com mission ruled that unless these claims are adjusted within thirty days all of those players will become free agents. The claim of Player Walter Keating for $1,000 from the. Chicago National league club was disallowed. Keating was transferred to the St. Joseph club and finished the season with Syracuse. He claimed the difference in salary be tween his Chicago salary and the amount paid him by St. Joseph and Syracuse. Lone Robber Takes Twenty Thousand From Expressman Los Angeles, Cal., Dec. 7.

GROTTE BROS., CO. ft G.n.ral Distributor. The Bee by George McManus FIVE MILLION MORE TRACTION SECURITIES Nebraska Railroad Commission Authorizes Issuance by Omaha-Beatrice Line. MATERIALS MUCH HIGHER '(From a Staff Correnpondent.) Lincoln. Neb., Dec. 7 (Special Telegram.) The State Railway coni mission this morning bj a majority act, authorized the issuance of $i,S00, 001) in bunds, $5(10,000 in preferred stock and $2,000.0(10 in common stock for the building and completion of the Omaha, Lincoln & Beatrice ln tertirban railroad from Lincoln to Omaha. Railway Commissioner Hall voted agairst the issuance of .the bonds. L'nder a former order of the com mission, the Omaha. Lincoln and Beatrice company had been given au thority to issue bonds in the sum of $2,j00,000, and capital stock in the amount of $850,000. However, the company was unable to finance the projeel because of the increase in steel and other material, and ap peared before the commission, re sulting in the order this morning, which calls for an issuance of $5,000, 000. Materials Higher. According to the showing made by the cofhpany, labor has increased 25 per cent, and construction material 35 per cent. In 1913 the depart ment made an estimate as to cost of construction, which amounted to $2,634,750. This year its estimate has- been increased to $.i,J08,H0S, which very nearly agrees with the esti mate of the applicant, which made its figures $3,433,201. . The estimate of the department did not include cost of financing, nor working capital nor allowance of contractor's profits, but inasmuch as under present conditions the con stant almost daily increase in both material and labor, together with the uncertainties of prompt delivery, leads the department to believe that a larger allowance for contingencies is justified than would be under nor mal conditions. Additional items not included in the estimate of the commission's en gineers, but included in 'the appli cant's estimate, are $13,746 increase in the cost of right-of-way; $75,000 for crossing certain sand pits of the Platte river; $25,000 for additional shop equipment. Amount Required. The new company backing the pro ject agrees to assume and cancel all existing liabilities of the old com pany, which built from Lincoln to Bethany, and to deliver the outstand ing stock now held by them in ex change for $315,000 of the proposed preferred stock. The amount of se curities required, if the foregoing estimates are correct, are as fol lows; For conslrui'llon, enulpplng and financing of uncompleted porllon, 4,4v.n04.1l!. Increase and additions In the eatlmate of applicant not Included nor dlsappriVed by the commission's engineers. $113.76. Allowance for existing uroperty. $31MH0. Reserve for working capital and pay ment of fixed charges, S18M0O, making a total of IS, 103, 350.16. The commission holds that by the increase the public will not suffer, - J - rTT,1llfiffi - - l OMAHA, NEBR. 9 etiher as an investor or user for the reason, first, because the order pro hibits the sale of any portion of the securities; to the general public until the line of road shall have been com pleted, at which time its actual cost will be known and published by the commission. Second, because the capitalization of the company will not be a control ling factor when the question of rates arises. The "fair value" of the prop erty devoted to the use of the public will be the determining lactor, ana the actual cost in construction and equipping the line which the commis sion will have in its recoras wnen completed, will-have its proper con sideration and full weight in de termining what the fair value is.. It is understood that Commissioner Hall will issue a "dissenting opinion," having voted against the development of the road. New Hotel to Come. When the' road is completed it is understood that its terminal point will be at the corner of Fourteenth and N in Lincoln, the site of the pro posed new $1,000,000 hotel which it is said the terminal company, which built the magnificent new office build ing at Tenth and O, will begin build ing this spring. The same parties which are backing the Lincoln Trac tion company are behind the new in terurban project and the terminal building and in the erection of the new hotel building would indicate that they expect to be a factor in the future building up of the Capital City and its development, ' 1 The Omaha, Lincoln A Beatrice Interurban company, which has just been granted by tin State Railway commission permission to issue stock and bonds in the aggregate sum of $5,000,000, maintains and has for a long time maintained headquarters in Lincoln. . j J. M. Bramlett is general manager there. It is said the company has for some time contemplated building next year, providing they could get permission from the state commission to issue stocks and bonds to the nec essary amount. The McKinlcy interests from Illinois, which a few years ago took over the old Omaha, Ralston & Papillion line and talked much of extending this line to Lincoln, have not been active here in construction work for two years or more. It is said the present laws in regard to interurbans in Nebraska are .lot satisfactory to the McKinley interests and that the complexion of the State Railway com mission does not suit them.
