MARTY GIVES PA'S
HOPEFULS NO REST
Drills Rourkes in Three Hours
of Stiff Fielding and Bat
j ting Practice,
NSW MEN ALL LOOK GOOD
Pi Rourke's hopefuls were given
no rest yesterday. For three hours
Manager Marty Krug put the hope
fall through their paces before he
give them permission to duck for the
shower and hit the trail for a movie
show.
The Rourkes went through both
fielding and batting practices yester
day and a marked improvement was
manifested in the work of most of
the athletes.
Tony Brottem, the catcher received
from the St. Louis Cards, was the
live wire of the workout. Tony opened
up a running-fire of conversation
when the practice started and he
never stopped until the finish. Both
Rourke and Krug believe Tony is
going to. prove to be some catcher.
He has a whip like a steel spring and
he has a wicked wallop with the
bludgeon. He works for all that
is in him all the time. Rourke fans
are in for a treat when they take their
first slant at Brottem, he's the pret
tiest working backstopper that's been
seen in the Western in some time.
The stamp of approval was placed
On Hal Brokaw yesterday. Monday
was Brokaw's first showing of the'
year and, of course, he didn't show
much, but yesterday he fielded every
thing hit to him and slugged some
beautiful drives toward the fence in
the batting practice. '.
Krug is keeping a watchful eye on
Johnny Watkins, the young semi-pro
from Kansas City. Watkins handles
himself like a veteran in the field.
Marty played him at third Monday, at
short yesterday and expects to try
him at second today. He handled
himself well at both third and short.
At short yesterday, he nailed fast
grounders on either side of him and
played the bag nieely. If he can hit,
Marty believes he may be a valuable
utility man.
Henning Looks Good.
If "Ote" Henning continues to
show the speed he did Monday and
yesterday around- first base. Jake
Holderman may not be missed. Hen
ning is a smooth fielder and plays the
bag in nice fashion and he's a hard
working and willing young fellow
too. ,
The diamond is in fine shape. The
infield is drying up nicely and the
outfield is already hard and firm.
There is still a little ice to the south
of the first base line, but this will
all be removed today.
Krug expects to have his team in
first class shape when the Rourkes
make their initial appearance of the
year against the Brandeis Sunday.
He will probably work all of the new
men in the game. Marty O'Toole,
Murphy Currie and Wavne Barham
pitched in the batting practice yester
day. O'Toole and Currie showed good
fortm Barham didn't try to do any
thing except toss 'em up because he
has just started working out.
Harry Walker to Handle
Crowds at Wrestling Go
Harry Wralker, doorkeeper at the
Orpheum, has been obtained by Gene
Melady to supervise the handling of
the crowds at the wrestling match be
tween oi Stecher and Earl Caddock
at the Auditorium the evening of
April 9. Walker handled the crowd
at the fair grounds July 4, when
Stecher and Lewis tangled, and he
did it so successfully Melady sought
and secured permission of Manager
Byrne of the Orpheum to use Walker
that one day.

Belgians Deported
To Germany Are
Starving to Death
Havre, France, March 27. The Bel
gian government has received by
trustworthy means letters from re
sponsible Belgians who have been de
ported to Germany. The letters,
dated at the end of February or early
in March, were written from the
camps in which the men are being
confined. Some passages follow:
"Since February 1 we have had
only two meals a day. The one in
the evening has been discontinued.
That was the best one, because we
had corn."
From another letter: "It is fright
ful here. We are dying of famine. We
have a ration of bread, water and
beets. That is all We are skeletons,
covered with skin. Thirteen men we
counted in the morgue yesterday and
fourteen today. That is from among
the 3,000 or 4,000 here. Conditions
are more frightful in the and
1 camps. If any one gives us a
little soup or something else to eat
he is punished with five days in
prison.
From another letter: "The situa
tion becomes more and more unendur
able from day to day. Every morning
two or three dead are found in the
huts. The doctors decline all respon
sibility. Today 120 are dead at Camp
we nope tor our deliverance
by the great offensive." '
Danes and Express Lads
To Engage in Tug-o'-War
The ex-champion Danish tug-of-war
team will on Saturday night at
Washington hall tangle with the
American Express company team in
a pull for honors. The Danes won
the championship a year ago in the
tournament held here, but lost the
title to the Swedish team in a chal
lenge pull. The Danes have a strong
team, but the express lads are not to
be sneezed at, and an exciting tussle
is anticipated.
Howard and Sherman

Big Austro-German
Offensive On Italian
Front is Expected
Rome, March 27. (Via Paris.) A
great Austro-German offensive on
the Italian front is being predicted
freely throughout Italy. Information
reaching the Italian press from
Switzerland has convinced the news
papers that such a campaign has been
planned by the central powers, for
this spring. There is no nneasiness
apparent, however,- but general
confidence that Italy, is fully pre
pared. 1
General Cadorna is quoted by the
Giornale D'ltalia as saying to Sal
vatore Barzalai, governor of the oc
cupied Austrian territory:
"Whether they come or not, I am
acting on the principle that they will
enforce. I am conscious of having
neglected nothing that past experi
ence may have taught and I am cer
tain of having at my command i
magnificent army, full of energy and
faith and strengthened, rather than
worn by war. I have put at its head,
with strict impartiality, chiefs pos
sessing the greatest aptitude for their
posts.
"The first element of success is the
active faith of the nation in itself.
For the army to resist, the country,
whose every feeling is reflected by
the army, must resist also. Let it
have faith in itself and it wilt have
victory."
Bohemian Farmer Ends
His Life by Shooting
Beatrice, Neb., March 27. (Special
Telegram.) Lewis Bartovosky, a
Bohemian farmer living three miles

rifle during the absence of his wife

bor on an errand.
He was injured last Friday by a
horse falling upon him, and this is
thought to have caused him to end
his life. He was 57 years of sge and

Five More Million in

New York, March 27. Five mil
lion dollars in gold from Canada was
deposited at the assay office here

to $230,700,000.
A Bilious Attack.
When you have a bilious attack
your liver iails to perform its func

Take Chamberlain's Tablets. They
will tone up your liver, clean out your

HOLDEN ARGUES
FOR RATE RAISE
Burlington President Opens
Case for Railroads With
Plea for Increase.
HE GIVES SIX SEASONS
Washington, March 27. The ap
pearance before the Interstate Com
merce commission of President Har
rison of the Southern railway and B.
F. Bush, receiver of the Missouri Pa
cific, was the first official intimation
that the southern and southwestern
lines would ask increased rates.
President Holden of the Burling
ton opened the argument for the
western roads.
Mr. Holden based his application
for an Increase in freight rates on six
grounds, as follows:
Tneraased watts to trainman andsr tha
Adamson law.
Incrsassd wssss ttt othsr employes, soma
already (ranted, with others likely to fol
low In the Immsdlsts future.
Inoreaasd coat of locomotive fust oal
and oil.
Increased eost of materials.
Increases In prices of equipment
Hither taxes.
Mr. Holden said the roads had
come to the Interstate Commerce
commission first because they felt
that should the commission grant
their petition there would be less dif
ficulty in obtaining authority to in
crease intrastate rates from the va
rious state boards and commissions
involved. Such applications, lie said,
would follow a ruling in the present
Instance.
'The national outlook is clouded
with conditions of the most serious
character," Mr. Holden said, "of suf
ficient severity to indicate that the
transportation machine of the coun
try must be brought to and main
tained at the highest possible stan
dard of efficiency with the least pos
sible delay.
. Need More Equipment.
"There is great need for more power
and equipment, more trackage and
larger terminals. To produce these
in the face of these enormous in
creases in expenses requires a sub
stantial increase in revenues through
an increase in rates, whereby addi
tional money will be available to pay
increased operating and maintenance
expenses and interest upon the new
capital which will be required - to
finance the improvement and addi
tions necessary.
The percentage of increase, Mr.
Holden said, was a subject which
would yet have to be determined. In
this connection he declared that re
cent estimates fixing $60,000,000 as
the additional amount to be paid the
railroad brotherhoods under the
Adamson law was inadequate, and
that the amount would be consider
able larger than that figure.
Should the country go to war, Mr.
Holden continued, the resources of
the railroads, their plants and equip
ment would be placed, first of all, at
the disposal of the government. Such
action, he said, would not only de
prive them of a large sum in commer
cial revenue, but would make scienti
fic management of the roads tempor
arily difficult.

British Data Indicates U-Boata
Destroy Less Shipping in
March Than February.
BESESFOBD GIVES FIOUBES
London, March 27. Losses of mer
chant vessels amounting to more than
420,000 tons thus far in March have
resulted from war measures of the
central powers, Lord Charles Beres
ford said in the House of Lords today.
In a debate in the House of Lords
on the British blockade. Lord Beres
ford said that with longer days and
calmer weather the losses would in
crease and that the public ought to
have the facts brought home to it.
The number of vessels destroyed thus
far this month was given by him as
255.
Lord Beresford expressed the opin
ion that captures of submarines by
the British navy were not at all equiv
alent to the new submarines the Ger
mans were launching. He believed
the Germans had more men and more
food than had been imagined in Eng
land. The foreign office, he said, had too
much power over the navy to the de
triment of the navy. The losses of
British, allied and neutral vessels for
February, he said, amounted to 281
vessels, with an aggregate tonnage of
more than 500,000.
Figures given out in London on
March 3 placed the amount of ton
nage destroyed by German subma
rines in February at about 490,000.
No mention was made at this time of
ships destroyed by mines. The Ger
man admiralty announced on March
16 that the. aggregate gross tonnage
of merchant ships destroyed through
war measures of the central powers
was 781,500. On the basis of the fig
