f President Frazee of the Boston
Red Sox and Connie Mack of the
Philadelphia Athletics were in con
sultation for a long time, regarding
the players which the Boston club, is
to give m return for the services of
First Baseman Mclnnis. Four play
ers are to be sent to Philadelphia,
but at the end of the conference, no
definite arrangement had been made
and it looked as if the Boston man
S agement would have to purchase them
! in order to complete the deal.
Clark Griffith, having obtained the
necessary, waivers on Catcher John
i- Henry, of the Washington' club, sold
i him outright to the Boston Nationals.
I, The Cleveland Americans bought
Pitcher John Enzmann from the New

SOJJTH SIDE
OMAHA CENTRAL
LOSES CONTEST
TO JOETOWN LADS
Inability to Locate Basket and
Vim of Down River Players
Causes Defeat, 24
to 33.
St. Joseph, Mo., Feb. 15. (Special
Telegram. )-Omaha Central High
basket ball team lost to St. Joseph
High this afternoon, 24 to 33.
Both teams put up a hard, even
fighjt until the last of the second half,
when St. Joseph broke away and
marked up the deciding counts.
A. Smith, who made half of Cen
tral's scores, was the star for Omaha.
The Logan brothers did some good
work at guards. That the score was
not larger was due to Paynter's work
at center.
Maxwell was a little out of form
in shooting foul throws, but shot one
neat field goal in the first half.
lull was Joetowns shining light.
Out of 14 fouls committed by Om
aha, only three were missed by the
St. Joseph right guard. Whitehead
also showed well in shooting bas
kets. Hard luck in locating the basket
caused the defeat of the Purple and
White. Teamwork repeatedly carried
the ball to the basket, only to roll
around the'hoop and fall off.
Bad at Start.
The game started with a free toss
by Tull. Four fouls followed in rapid
succession. Prospects looked pretty
dark for the Omaha lads until only
hve minutes of play remained in the
first half.N
During these five minutes the Cen
tral machine swung into shape and
ran up tlje score until it matched the
11 points-that the Joetown' lads had
marked up.
The second half was all for St.
Joseph. Maxwell was forced to re
tire because of exhaustion, and Rus
sell took his place. Beals. the St.
Joseph left guard, suffered an injured
shoulder from a collision with the
referee. Central attempted to rally
the last few minutes but was unable
to. get more than 24 ooints to St.
Joseph's 33.
Close refereeinn took the heart out
of the Omaha flippers.
The team leaves tomorrow morning
to play Kansas City Central High in
the afternoon.

OUT TROUBLES;
BACK GEORGE
London, Feb. 15. Through the
adoption .tonight by the House of
Commons of the address in reply to
the speech from the throne which
was accomplished without division,
the attacks against the government
for the time being have come to
nought. Today's debate was on va
rious subjects including the food
question, brewing and diplomacy. All
hostile amendments against the pre
mier's address were either withdrawn
or rejected.
Deplores Price Fixing
As Menace to Farmer
Ithaca. N. Y., Feb. IS. Warning
that the nation "is confronted with
the danger of starvation in the
next 12 months" and that "the
energies of ou . farmers are para
lyzed by price-fixing and the fear
of price-fixing," President Jacob
Gould Schurman of Cornell uni
versity, spoke today at the Farm
ers' week program at Cornell
university on "The Food Crisis and
the Farmer."
President Schurman deplored at
tempts to 'regulate the prices of
farm products, but urged legislation-to
end profiteering in the
sale of foodstuffs.
"I believe it no exaggeration to
say that we are confronted with
the danger of starvation in the
next 12 months," said President
Schurman. "The energies of our
farmers are paralyzed by price-fixing.
Does the government want to
stimulate agricultural production?
Then strike the shackles off the
farmer and leave him as free as
other producers."
NEW SCHEME FOR
HANDLING TROOPS
General Staff Considers New
Uses for Cantonments When
Vacated by Men Now
Under Training.
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, Feb. IS. Uses to
which several National army canton
ments are now put may be completely
changed when they are vacated by
troops now under training, as a result
of general staff studies of the handling
of divisions scheduled for embarka
tion for Europe and of the training of
replacement troops.
Under the plan the whole system
of divisional depot brigades to handle
replacement troops would be aban
doned. Instead of a full division, each
of infantry and artillery, provisionally
organized for training purposes, would
be assembled at two cantonments and
all drafts of the men to fill gaps in
regiments at the front would go for
ward from these two central depots.
Similar replacement forces for all sig
nal corps troops except the aviation
service, would be organized at an
other cantonment. iA replacement
cantonment for the engineers is now
being constructed at Betvoir, Va.
As to the embarkation problem, it
has been decided that two additional
embarkation camps must be provided.
Camps Dix and Lee may be selected
for this purpose.
Under present embarkation arrange
ments an outbreak of disease at the
concentration camps to which troops
are ent before they go aboard ship
might result in quarantine and a com
plete tie-up of the flow of men to
France. With two additional camps
available, there would be little likeli
hood of such a difficulty. . . .
Tn addition, troops could be held
longer at the embarkation camps, and
while there old uniforms and equip
ment could be taken up and replaced
by the outfits to be used in France,
saving the issue departments in Eu-J
rope that work.
Creation of replacement -divisions
for line troops would overcome one
of the chief obstacles to training na
tional army officers have encountered.
State Defense Council
Replies to Nonpartisans
(Frcm a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Neb., ' Feb. IS. (Special
Telegram. i) In a reply to the answer
of the non-partisan league to, its let
ter of censure the State Council of
Defense today takes up the answer at
some length and then closes the argu
ment as follows:
"The issue is, 'shall any organiza
tion be permitted to persist in the cir
culation of literature which on its face
is identical with German propaganda?'
Upon that issue the State Council of
Defense takes its stand squarely in the
negative."
Brest-Litpvsk Confab
Ended in Stormy Row
Zurich, Feb. 15. The Munich,
Bavaria, correspondent of the
Neue Augsburg Zeitung says he
learns that the discussion at Brest
Litovsk last Sunday between Dr.
Von Kuehlmann, the German for
eign secretary, Count Czernin, the
Austro-Hungarian minister of for
eign affairs, and Leon Trotsky, the
bolshevik foreign minister, were
particularly stormy and ended in a
violent rupture which bore all the
seeds o'. a future conflict.
"That is why the conference at
Germain main headquarters is dis
cussing the eventuality of very
energetic military measures against
the Russians," the correspondent
says.

the liniment bottle, just as you did
all last winter, and begin to rub the
painful parts, seeking relief from the
pangs of Rheumatism, which your
own experience has taught you can

Why not throw away your lini

Rheumatism is a disordered condi

CAN'T SMILE AFTER
19 HOURSOF WORK
Tells Commission Stewards
Should Be Placed Under
8 -Hour Law for Effi
cient Service.
Washington, Feb. lS.Representa
tives of union and unorganized labor
who asked to present reasons for in
creased pay to the railroad wage com- .
mission, completed their testimony to
day and the commission adjourned
subject to the call of the chairman,
Secretary Lane.
Recommendations to be made by
the commission will concern only
wages and hours, Secretary Lane told
James A. Hennessey, who asked at
today's hearing that the stewards of
fhe Fennsylvanfa railroad should be
placed under the eight-hour law. ; lU
said he had worked an average of
13 hours for the last two weeks and
that stewards frequently were on duty
19 hours. , ' :
Impossible to Smile.' : ..' ., ,:
"It is impossible for V man to-smile
after having been on his feet that
long," he asserted in discussing-the
servicehey were required to give the
public ' .
Minimum wages of $150 a month,
instead of $100 to1 $125 now paid, and
at least four days a month off, were
asked. , ;
A. B. Jenkens, representing union
molders on the Southern Railway sys
tem asked the same increases for them
that other mechanical trades wanted,
about 33 1-3 per cent. - -
W. G. Ebey, of Hamlet, N. C, said
train dispatchers should be paid from
$215 to $235 a month, instead of $160
to $175, because of the increase in
living costs, which he estimated at 70
per cent. He denied for his road,
the Seaboard Air line,-charges made by
officers of the conductors and train
men that officials were trying to dis
credit the eight-hour law and govern
ment operations. He introduced a
letter sent out by President W. J.
Harrison, ordering every employe to
give every possible assistance to the
Federal administration. " 1
