SCALPERS' DUPES

Criminal Proceedings Will Be
Started Against Ticket Da
frauders ; Guilty Obtaining
Money by Extortion.
Chicago,'. Sep. 30. Purchases of
world's series tickets from scalpersJ
may be legally denied admission to
the I games, State's Attorney Ho.yn$
announced Saturday. '.. (
The state's attorney explained that
although the city anti-tickct-scalplng
ordinance and a similar state law had
been declared invalid, he considered
persona engaging in ticket speculat
Ing guilty of conspiracy to obtain
money by a confidence game and per
hapa guilty of conspiracy to jxtort."
"If such evidence is presented to me
by officials of the Chicago American
league club or by persons who claim
to have been defrauded by ticket
scalpers,"- State's"' Attorney Hoyne
said, "I shall, if an investigation of
the law warrant! -it,' initiate criminal
proceedings against the guilty per
sons. 4 , " ' i A
""I have explained to President
Comiskey of the Chicago club that he
hal the complete legal right not' to
honor tickets resold for a pricavjn
excess of that printed upon thr-ticket.
It seems to be assumed by ticket
scalpers that they have the right to
make money out of and deal in the
property of other persons or corpora
tions. They have no such constitu
tional right. A base ball or theater
ticket is merely a license or permis
sion to attend a place of amusement
and may be revoked upon a refund of
the money for which the ticket is orig
inally sold." ' ' , - .

ond game, v .
rolled in the daytime, one afternoon
every week. The team lineups will
consist of throe men each. Six or
eight franchises will be issued. The
cjty hall and county court house will
furnish two teams each and two or
three firms along auto row have an
nounced intentions of entering a team
each. Other teams will be made up
among th regular matinee perform
ers who are blessed with their aft
ernoons off. Such an organization
as this is not only new tor Omaha,
but for other middle west cities where
daylight leagues have not been tried.
Daylight rolling is not only a help
to the alley owners, but is a boost in
general for the game, inasmuch as it
will afford a chance for league bowl
ing for husbands who choose to spend
all their evenings at home with
friend wife and the kiddies. Most
city hall and county officers and em
ployes are devotees of the bport and
spend many an afternoon rolling
friendly matches. This new organiza
tion is sure to make a hit with them.
The Onialut alley management has
already announced a classy list of
merchandise prizes for high scores for
both the me", and women and promise
a much larger ftst beiore the season
progresses very far.

The decisive defeat of Commerce
Friday was important as an indication
of what both the first team, and the
scrubs are worth. The first team plays
will centerjrbout Captain Smith, quar j
terback; Eugene Maxwell, half back;
Logan y avnter, right tackle, and
Noole at full. This quintet may be
counted upon to provide the attack
as the first four named .did last sea
son when playing on the Central team
that nabbed the Missouri valley cham
pionship. ;
fcach of the five stars has weight
and speed. The only weak spot is
their kicking .ability. Maxwell lias
been counted on to do most of this
work, but his performances Friday
indicates few goals after touchdowns
may be expected unless heImproves.
At present there is no indication
of what trick plays Coach Mulligan
may have up his sleeve. But one was
tiled rriday which resulted in a heat
touchdown.
v Scrubs Go Good.
The Scrubs seem to have as good
prospects as the first string men.
Twelve were tried against Commerce
and held the line with little difficul
ty. Russell, Eaton and Rockwell did
good work, while Giller was respon
sible for a score. , . .
Central will meet South High next
Saturday and the High School of
Commerce team will journey to Shen

ed as probable for Central High,
South High is expected to put up a
stubborn contest' Eaton, captain;
Emigh, right half; Banner at full;
Hedgren, center; Helm, tackle, and
Peterson, guard, are veterans at the

Papers Washed Ashore Tell
Of Victims of U-Boats
New York, oept 30. News was
received here Saturday of the tor
pedoing of the steamship Glenogle,
flying the Chinese flag, off the Irish
coast by a German submarine, four
weeks ago. It had a crew of r00
men, all Chinese, with the exception
of the officers and engineers. There
were no survivors apparently, and
the sinking of the ship with its
crew was discovered through the
papers washed ashore in Bantry
Bay, Ireland.
The Glenogle was a three-masted
iron screw steamship of 3 J 50 tons
and was built for the Glen line of
London in 1882 to race against the
Sterling Castle in bringing the first
cargo of the season's tea. The
steamships left Hankow, 600 miles
up the Yangtsee for London, with
in a few hours of each other and the
Sterling Castle arrived first, making
the voyage in twenty-seven days
and ten hours. a 1

RUSH DES MOINES
CAMP BUILDINGS
TO CADE FOR MEN
Expect Orders for Further Mo
bilization Following Instruc
' tions to Governors Nofto
Send Any More Soldiers.
Camp Dodge, Des Moines, la., Sept.
30. Construction activities and other
preparations for the reception of the
third increment of drafted men at
Camp Dodge are being completed
rapidly.
Officials in touch with the situation
expect an order for the mobilization
of this increment within a short time,
probably some time in the first two
weeks of October.
Since the War department's recent
order instructing governors to with
hold further movement of men until
the Camp "is completed and ready for
the men," no definite word has been
received at the cantonment.
Building work on some of the bar
racks had been held up temporarily,
one of the officials said, in otder fdput
more men on .the base hospital and
remount station, whose, construction,
was ordered rushed. '.'
"We would be able teKhav'e suf
ficient barracks' in readiness for the
men as raaidly as they would arrive
if the original order, calling them to
camp beginning October 3, had been
permitted to stand " this officer said.
"All carpenters could be switched
obey the military laws. They will be
excused from participation in drilling
and formations.
When the mobilization of the en
tire quota assigned to this canton
ment is completed, it is expected that
there will be about 300 conscientious
andajeligious objectors in camp, per
forming duties of non-combatants.
Will Teach French.
Under the auspices of a DesMoines
newspaper, talking machine records
of the disc variety especially are be
ing gathered for the army men here.
It is aimed to place a machine in everj k
barracks, at least. .
Conversational French is to be
taught and classes for that purpose
are being organized. ; The War Re
creation board, has 'obtained four
teachers for the inauguration of the
plan, and later mote may be added.
Men Cannot Speak English.
In one regimen at the cantonment
here there are twenty-seven men not
able to understand English sufficiently
to receive commardsi ,
They are from Minnesota, and in-
elude four Italians, one Hungarian,
four Russians, five Russian Poles,
three Syrians, one Bohemian, one
Greeks one Jew, three Swedes and
four Poles.
One man, of German descent, told
registration officials that the only
"foreign language" he spoke was Eng
lish, but he is In another regiment,
Those who were -unable to under
stand commands are being taught
what the various commands in Eng

Fur for Lounge Pillows
The hides of the buffalo in Golden
Gate park these days look like the
next to the last picture in the "going,
going, gone" advertisements of a cer
tain hair restorer. Attendant., have
been wondering why women - who
passed up the herd in the days of its
hirsute glory have been flocking
about the corral as the buffaloes be
come homelier than ever. -
"They even pet the big brutes,"
said one puzzled attendant He walk
ed over to thV pen, determined to
get the secret of the feminine change
of heart ,
He learned the ,women were not
fondling the buffalo, but trying to
help nature along by pulling out their
fur. The big beasts seemed to appre
ciate t as they stood quietly by the
heavy pkket-fence through which the
women reached. Now everybody is
happy.
The park attendants are glad, be
cause the buffaloes, if their fur is
pilfered by women, won't try to rub
it off on the trees, which generally

cause to doubt their rationality.

There are a number ot men in camp

it is said there are -a, number, who
are not entirely convinced that he

Boxing is to be one of the numerous

Attitude Toward "Objectors.
" Speculation as to the attitude of the
War department toward conscientious
objectors to military service vcaught
in the draft has been answered in a
number of recent cases.
These objectors will be treated with
usual respect by officers of the. can
tonment, and if proper credentials are
forthcoming, they will be placed in
some non-combatant occupation con
nected with the military.
