MARTY TRIES BOX
MEN AT FIELDING
Xtonrke Manager Devotes Half
An Hour Teaching Hurler!
- To Scoop Bunts. .
THOMPSON HAS SORE TOOT
. Tht Rourkes went through another
food three-hour workout yesterday
noon when the sun was high in the
heaven and the atmosphere fairly
comfortable,.
Marty Krug started his charges at
11 o'clock in the. morning and he re
fused to let them' rest until 2 o'clock
in the afternoon. After the fielding
and batting practices, Marty devoted
fully thirty minutes to, his pitchers,
Instructing them how to field their
sositions.
Men and O'Toole, both veterans of
many a campaign and both of whom
worked under Marty last year,
showed their old skill But it was the
way Murphy Currie and Wayne Bar-
ham worked that pleased the onlook
ers. Both of these youngsters proved
nifty lads at scooping up bunts and
delivering them to first. Many hurl
ers lack proficiency in fielding their
positions, ' but from the looks of
things the Rourkes will not be so
handicapped this yean With a little
practice Currie and Barham will be
as good fielding pitchers is . the league
boasts. .. '
Shag Thompson is the only mem
ber ot the. troupe who isn t in great
shape in every way. Shag has a
bruise on his foot which causes him
to limp a little, but outside of that
there is absolutely no work for the
hospital corps. ,
The pitchers have been working
long enough so that they are begin
ning to cut loose quite a bit now and
when they face the Brandeis Sunday
in the first' game of the year here it
is believed they will be able to burn
them down the groove in mid-spring
if not mid-summer style. ...

Commissioner
Four-Year-Law
Is Declared Valid
Albion, Neb., March 29. Special.)
District Judge F. M. Button has
handed down a decision in the Cavey
against Reigle county commissioners'
case. '
The finding of the court is that the
effect of the election statute passed in
1905 was to lengthen the term of com
missioner's office from three to four
vears: that the office was a statutory
one and so governed: that the elec
tions held in Boone county since 1906
on the theory that the term was three
years could have no effect in changing
the terms. Cavey was elected in 1909
at what was supposed to be the ex
piration of the former term, but in
stead he was merely elected for the
unexpired one year of that four-year
term, and as his predecessor vacated
the office, Cavey became a dejurc
officer and remaining therein and ex
ercising the functions of. his office,
Cavey has since remained de jure of
ficer. He submitted himself to an
election in 1912, which was not a
legal election and had no effect upon
the term of commissioner in his dis
trict, since which time no election has
been held at the right time. Cavey re
mains as a dejure officer until the
regular expiration of the term of the
office of commissioner for the dis
trict, January, 1919.
The injunction against Reigle is
made continuous until January, 1919,
and the injunction against Cavey, the
county clerk and treasurer, relative to
drawing or paying warrants for sal
ary of Cavey was dissolved and dis
missed. ' Lou do. Tbrww. OUluk

BRYAN WANTS HIS
PEACEPLAN TRIED
(CootUoed from Vat Oao).
many formally approved the plan, al
though no treaty has yet been con
cluded with it. Shalt we repudiate
our own plan the first time mt have
an ODoortunitv to employ it? If, as the
president recently declared, the Amer-
lean pcopic uu uui w,ui w,
not worth while to try the peace
plan before bringing upon the people
the horrors of war? Until an attempt
is made and fails, no one is able to
say that it would be impossible to se
cure the suspension of 'ruthless' sub
marine warfare during the investiga
tion for which the plan provides.
Shall we denv to ourselves the credit
of trying to settle the dispute with
the treaty pianf ,
Thinks It Worth Trying.
"And is it not worth while to do
our part in trying to avoid injury?
Would it not be better, as well aa
cheaper, for the government to carry
on it own vessels such Americans as
must go to Europe rather than to en
gage in war to vindicate the right
of citizens to disregard all risks and
ride upon belligerent ships?
"Is it not worth while to separate
passengers from contraband cargoes,
so that the captains ot passenger shi
HPS
can give their entire attention to the
safety of the passengers? Our nation
is the world a foremost advocate ot
peace. If we go to war it should be
for a cause which history will justify.
Suggest! Referendum.
"If you reach the conclusion that
nothing but war will satisfy the na
tion's honor, is it too much to ask
that by a referendum you consult the
wishes of those who must, in case of
war, defend the nation s honor with
their lives?
"As one who expects to live up to
a citizen's duties, if war comes, I
plead with you to use all honorable
means to preserve peace before you
take the responsibility of plunging
our beloved land into this unprece
dented struggle, begun without any
sufficient cause and conducted by
both sides in utter disregard of the
well settled rights of neutrals."
Peace Federation Pushes Propaganda.
New York, March 29. Prominent
women in laree cities throughout the

said the messages, "can and must
