NATIONAL RIFLE
CLUB IS GROWING
r.
Develops From Mere Group in
1872 to Association Which
Covers Entire Country
in 1917. .
BackJn 1872 the National Rifle as
sociation of Amerlca'was founded by
a group of public-spirited men 'who
had the best interests of their coun
try and their fellow citizens at heart.
The object of the association to
quote from .the by-laws is "to en
courage marksmanship throughout
the United States to en
courage competition in marksma: ihip
between teams and individuals; to en
courage legislation for the establish
ment and maintenance of ranges."
It you are a devotee of the sport of
rifle shooting you can see therefore
that the object of the National Rifle
association is directly in, line with the
best interests of the sport.
During the first fewears of its ex
istence the National Kille associa
tion was' small. Indeed, it was said
that the secretary carried all matters
connected with it in one book in his
pocket.
The present secretary has an estab
lishment which consists of five rooms
in an office building in Washington
operated by an office force, in addi
tion to the secretary and his assist
ant, of a cashier, 'six stenographers,
one multigraph operator and an office
boy. "
bucli a number is necessary to take
care of the business of the associa
tion and you can , realize -what this
work-means when "you consider that
there are affiliated with the National
Rifle association over. 2,000 civilian
clubs, 76 college and university clubs
and J 81 school boy clubs.
Every year the association runs a
series of matches between the clubs
in each class and medals are awarded
to the winners. These leagues give
every rifle club in the country a
chance to compare its shooting
ability with the others.
At the national matches the big an
nual snooting tournament run by the
United StaUi government, the Na
tional Rifle association puts up a num
ber of trophies and medals for com
petition. That the National Rifle association
is -of definite value to th riflemen of
the country Is proven by its marvel
ously rapid growth.

Opponent After Getting Off
to an Awkward
. Start.
Minneapolis, Nov, 28. Fred Ful
ton, Minnesota heavyweight, won a
technical knockout over Gunboat
Smith in the seventh round of 4heir
scheduled JO-round ftght last night,
when Sfnith's secends tossed in a
sponge, to save him from further pun-
isnment.
In the first two rounds Smith land
ed several telling blows on his oppo
nent s lace and head while the crowd
jeered at Fulton's somewhat awkward
swings. 1
Knocked Gunboat Groggy.
Three times in the third round Ful
ton worked his man to the ropes and
brought down an avalanche of swings
which had Smith groggy when the
gong sounded.
Smith flared back for a time in the
fourth round, pecking away at his
opponent's face. Then Fulton, with
a left swing to the jaw and a right to
the body, sent amitli to the ropes and
it looked like the fight was over, when
suddenly an iron rod broke, letting
down the ropes encircling the ring,
The fighters were sent to their cor
ners for five minutes while repairs
were made, .he round lasted but
two minutes.
For the remainder of the fight
imith hung on and the crowd shouted
for action. He was staggering about
blindly when the sponge was tossed in.
, While the weight of the men was
not announced, Fulton was said to
have weighed 220 pbOnds and Smith
187 pounds.
In the preliminaries Jack Reed of
Ohio knocked out Farmer Lodge.
Minnesota heavyweight, in the first
round and Jock Malone, St. Paul, had
the better of Milburn Saylor, Indiana
welterweight, in a fast 10 rounds.
Italians Planned With
I. W.W. to Cause Food Riots
. Seattle, Wash.. Nov. 28. Accord
ing to United States Commissioner
of Immigration H. M. White, who
conducted the raids, the Italians ar.
rested here yesterday- plotted to helo
Germany to win the war by assassi
nating King Lrnmanuel of Italy and
by fomenting disturbances in the
United Mates.
The commissioner asserted today
that literature seized at the headquar
ters of Italian plotters indicated that
the men planned to seize foodstuffs
in various p.arts of the United States.
The alleged anarchistic society laid
plans, Mr. White said, to make Bos
ton the etnter of food riots, and, as
sisted by Industrial Workers of the
World, encourage uprisings through
out the nation.
The Italian leaders of the intrigue
told thejr followers, federal officials
said, that the state vernment of
Massachusetts feared an uprising and
furnished the Boston police with ma
chine guns and ammunition to
quell it.
Other pamphlets found attacked
the United States food administra
tion, officials asserted, and ridiculed
the efforts of the authorities to con
trol food prices.

THE BEE: OMAHA. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1917.
FORTS OMAHA AND
CROOK TAKE PART
IN ARMY PROGRAM
Camp Funston and Camp Dodge
are not the only elevens which will
battle for a championship at Creigh
ton' field Saturday. Fort Omaha and
Fort Crook elevens have a little dis
pute to settle, too.
The Fort Omaha-Fort Crook game
will be a preliminary fray to the Funs-
ton-Dodge game. It will start at 1
o'clock. This game will determine
the army championship of Omaha.
Both Fort Crook and Fort Omaha
have fast foot ball teams, although, of
course, not in the class with Funston
or Dodge as the local forts have no
40,000 or 45,000 men from which t6
select a team. Rivalry is ouite keen
and the local soldiers are just as en
thusiastic over their game as the
Dodge and Funston men are over
theirs. , ,
Sale of seats continues to progress,
The Concord club Tuesday bought a
block of 100 seats for members of the
club. The local committee in charge
of the game expects to sell blocks of
seats to several other Omaha or

ponds and cutoffs along the Missouri
river near Omaha. All of the game
fish found will be removed to Carter

will be sold to Omahans in moderate
circumstances at a nominal price.
Work was started yesterday when
more than 1,000,000 catfish, bullheads,
pike and bass were transferred to the

party from getting them all," said Mr.
Koster. "The money received will
go into the state fund for the
maintenance of this department."

Heirs of Ringold, Neb., Soldier
To Get Government Insurance
Camp Cody, Deming, N. M., Nov.
28. (Special.) An i example of how
the war risk insurance of the govern
ment protects dependent of the men
at war arose here in the case of Pri
vate Invold Hansen, Company E,
une Hundred and lhirty-fourth in
fantry (Fifth Nebraska), from Rin
gold, Neb., who died of pneumonia.
Upon learing of Hansen's dangerous
condition Captain P. R. Hallisran. the
boy's former commander, but now at
the head of the insurance committee
for the division, went at once to the
basehbspital to give the sick man the
privilege of taking more insurance
than his automatic policy of $4,500.
but when the captain arrived Hansen
had died. The mother k to eet
$4,500 distributed in 240 monthly pay
ments.
The insurance law has automatical
ly insured all soldiers and sailors for
$4,500 each, in favor of wife, children
or widowed mother, until February
12, 1918, but no longer, pending
formal applications for more insur
ance that they can pay for. At that
date, no matter, what the state of the
man's health or injuries, he has the
right to apply for insurance. '

Conspiracy Case; Set Tree
San Francisco, Nov. 28. Expressed
design of Shiv Dyal Kapur to "die
with his countrymen," Hindus, among
34 defendants on trial in the United
States district court on a charge of
conspiring to foment revolution
against British rule in India, was
thwarted today by United States Dis
trict Attorney John W. Preston, aft
er Shiv Dyal had refused to testify for
the government unless he was grant
ed assurance of his final freedom.
Instead of arraigning Shiv Dyal,
named in the indictments, butot
placed on trial, Preston moved that
the charge against him be dismissed.
Judge W- C. Van Fleet agreed to this
and then ordered Shiv Dyal to testify.
Shiv Dyal's refusal to give testi
mony came in the same manner as
the refusal of Jodh Singh yesterday.
Before he took the oath, he asked this
question of the court:
"Can I go free after testifying, or
shall I have to go back whence I
came?"
Judge Van Fleet assured him that
he would go free so far as the present
case was concerned, but that lie had
no jurisdiction over the other cases
pending.
, "Very well, then, 1 shall die with
my countrymen," exclaimed f-iii'-Dyal.
