Modified Examinations
For Postmasters
Washington, March 7. A modified
civil service for first, second and third
class postmasters is planned by
President Wilson and Postmaster
General Burleson. Under an execu
tive order expected soon the three
classes of postmasters will be re

been determined. Regardless of the
change, postoffice officials said today,
nominations will be made by the
president and confirmed by the sen
ate as in the past, in accordance with
the postal laws.
Central High Takes Twelve
Men to the Tournament
Omaha Central High took a squad
of eleven men to the state tournament
Wednesday morning. The entire sec
ond team was taken as a reward for
their loyalty in staying during the en
tire season. More than seven men are
seldom used after the first round on
account of the close competition. The
team is staying at the Lincoln hotel.
The men who went to Lincoln, be
sides Coach Mulligan, were: Student
Manager Charles Morearty, Jesse
Patty, Clyde Smith, Floyd Paynter,
Eugene Maxwell, Thurston Logan,
Paul Konecky, Merritt Klepser, Will
ard Usher, Art Logan, Floyd Gilfry
and Austin Smith.
Dartmouth Alumni Want
Hawley for "Grid" Coach
St Paul, March 6. Jesse Hawley,
former foot ball coach at Iowa State
university, has been recommended for
the position of gridiron coach at
Dartmouth, his alma mater, by the
Middle West Dartmouth Alumni as
sociation, it was learned here today.
Hawley was a star in the game in
which Dartmouth defeated Yale in
1908. He resigned at Iowa last year
to devote his time to his Chicago
bank interests. The place at Dart
mouth is vacant through the resigna
tion of Frank Kavanaugh.

Lincoln, March 7. (Special.)
Omaha South High was forced out in
the first round of the Nebraska State
basket ball tournament, in which 120
Nebraska high schools are compet
ing, which opened here this after-.
noon, but not until the rackingtown
lads had made a valiant fight.
The South High five lost to Uni
versity Place, 12 to 11, in a game
replete with thrills and which was
anybody's battle up until the final
whistle. South Side jumped out into
the lead in the first period, 7 to 6, but
the University Place quintet came
back strong in the second half and
finally nosed out ahead by the nar
row margin of one point. Graham was
the particular star of the South Side
lads, getting three pretty goals from
field.
The biggest crowd which ever in
augurated a tournament saw the sev
enth annual contest open. The high
school rooters from Lincoln and Uni
versity Place packed the university
gymnasium to the guards.
Lincoln Wins Easily.
Lincoln High school had a com
paratively easy romp with Wilber in
the first round and gave the impres
sion that the Red and Black would
be serious contenders. Wilber. usually
a strong team, could not make a goal
from field and scored all of its five
points on free throws. Coach Reese
filled his lineup with substitutes in
the second half or he could have
piled up a much larger score.
Kearney and Wahoo staged a bitter
fight, which Kearney finally took, 8
to 7, thereby upsetting the dopesters.
Humboldt also furnished a surprise
by putting Sutton out, 16 to 10. Sut
ton had made a splendid season's rec
ord and had expected to give trouble
for the leaders.

Whitted Holding Out, as Usual

"GE.OEGLi WHITTEDf '
Ever since Pat Moran secured
George Whitted, his crack outfielder,
from the Boston Braves two years
ago, the latter has kicked over the
salary question. Whitted now re
fuses to accept an offer of $4,000 for
the coming season and says he will
not play unless he receives $5,000.
When Whitted signed with the Phil
lies in 1915 he made the club guar
antee about $3,000 in addition to his
salary. He argued that if he had
not been taken away from the Braves
he would have received a slice of
another world's series. But the Phil
lies, instead of the Braves, won the
National league pennant that year
and Whitted picked up another fat
bankroll. Whitted, in the opinion of
many experts, including Iron Man
Coombs, is the best all-around player
in his league.
OLIN TO WRESTLE
FREBERG TONIGHT
Self-Styled Conqueror of Joe
Stecher to Exhibit His
Prowess at Bluffs.
BEADY TO MEET PLESTINA
Tonight is the night Mr. John Olin,
self-styled conqueror of Joe Stecher,
will exhibit his wares for the benefit
of Omaha wrestling fans. For to
night Olin wrestles John Frcberg at
the Council Bluffs Auditorium.
The huge Finn failed to arrive yes
terday, as expected, but delayed his
journey a day. He left Chicago last
night and will be on the job this
morning. Freberg also gets in today.
Olin has three matches ahead of
him today, tomorrow and Saturday.
After wrestling Freberg tonight, Olin
goes to Sioux City to grapple a fa
vorite up there. Saturday night he
tangles with Paul Martinson at Fre
mont. That Olin has a supreme confidence
in his ability is testified by the fact
that he is going to wrestle three men
in three days. He evidently is con
fident that he will win all three
matches. From Fremont Olin jumps
and Chicago and after a rest of one
day tackles Zbyszko the younger.
Word comes from Chicago that
Olin will today make arrangements
to meet Marin Plestina in Omaha.
Olin's manaagers say the Finn is
ready to tackle Plestina because he is
out to prove that he is really the mas
ter of Joe Stechr ned about the best
way he can demonstrate to Nebraska
fans that he is the goods is to defeat
Plestina. Whether Olin and his man
agers really are sincere in this or
whether they are merely bluffing can
not be told until tonight, as Plestina
will be on hand at the ringside in
Council Bluffs to challenge the Finn,
and he will also have a certified check
for $1,000 which will be offered Olin
as a guarantee.

BIG BUSINESS HINDRANCE
Following a suit filed in district
court by ten Omaha corporations
against the city, Mayor Dahlinan, City
Attorney Rine, City Prosecutor Mc
Guire and Commissioner Parks, ask
ing that they be enjoined from en
forcing the wheel tax ordinance,
which should have gone into effect
Wednesday, Judge Leslie issued a
temporary order restraining them
from taking any steps to enforce any
provision of It.
The hearing was set for March 14,
at which time attorneys for the citv
and the corporations will fight it out
as to whether the injunction is to
De made permanent. Judge Leslie or
dered that pending the hearing) for a
permanent injunction the city ot Oma
ha, its agents, officers, attorneys, em
ployes and representatives of every
kind be temporarily restrained from
attempting to enforce the ordinance.
Plaintiff! Prominent
The Plaintiffs in the nrtinn are: the
Omaha Ice and Cold Storage com
pany, the C W. Hull company, Sun-
aeriana oros, upatKe Lumber and
Coal company, J. T. Stewart Motor
company, Omaha Van and Storage
company, Lee Huff, Gordon Fireproof
Warehouse and Van company, Mc
Shane Motor company, L. V. Nicholas
Oil company and the Omaha Mer
chants Express and Transfer com
pany. It is alleged in the corporations'
petition that the wheel tax ordinance,
which provides that each person, firm
or corporation owning or operating
any vehicle upon the streets of the
city, annually register the same, a
penalty being provided for its viola
tion, is null and void and was at
tempted to be passed without author
ity of law.
That the city will attempt to justify
the passage of the wheel tax ordi
nance under an alleged act of the
legislature purported to have been
passed by the body and approved by
the governor on April 16, 1915, and
published in the session laws of 1915,
chapter 75, known as House Roll No.
137, is asserted. The plaintiffs further
allege that much of this legislative
act is wholly null and void and is con
trary tr section 11, article 111, of the
state constitution, which provides
that "no bill shall contain more than
one subject, and the same shall be
clearly expressed in its title."
A Great Hindrance.
The enforcing of such an ordinance
would greatly impede, hinder, embar-

rass and damage them in their respec
tive businesses, the corporation set
forth, adding that it would cause a
practical suspension of activities.
They also allege that the penalties
accruing under the provisions of the
ordinance will aggregate several hun
dred thousand dollars a year.
The petition asks that the tempo
rary injunction be made permanent
and that the city be enjoined from
attempting to collect fees, enforcing
any of the penalties, causing any ar
rests to be made or any prosecutions
to be carried on.
