Pocatello Promoters
Ask Melady's Aid
in Staging Big Bout
In recognition of his efforts to
raise the plane of sports to a high
er and better moral level Gene
Melady, prominent member of the
Omaha Live Stock exchange, has
been requested to co-operate in pro
moting the Willard-Dempsey bat
tle in the event that it is staged in
Pocatello, Ida. J. Rob Brady, Poca
tello's millionaire banker, who is in
New York at the present time striv
ing to reach an agreement with the
managers of the principals whereby
the bout would go to the Idaho
town, ywired the ' request to Mr.
Melady Thursday.
Mr. Melady has given his assent
and it now seems highly probable
that the well known Omaha pro
moter will have a prominent part
in arranging the final details of the
match if staged in Pocatello.
In his telegram Mr. Brady ex
pressed the opinion that because of
Mr. .Melady s consistent advocacy
of fair and clean sports his co-operation
would almost assure the
public that its interests would be
well safe-guarded. His experience
in handling sporting events of great
magnitude would make him valua
ble, it was stated.

DES MOINES WILL
PLAY , THREE-PLY
SERIES IN OMAHA
Fairweather's Aggregation of
Ball Tossers to Play Rourkes
Today, Tomorrow and Mon
day Afternoons.
Local ball fans will have an op
portunity to compare the Oniaha
Western league base ball club with
the other teams in the loop, when
the Rourkes tangle with the Dei
Moines club in a series of three
1 games, starting this afternoon, play
ing tomorrow and Monday after
noons. The Des Moines club back
ers have predicted a pennant win
ning team and hope to start out in
the lead in the opening game with
Wichita next Wednesday afternoon,
In the series with Omaha, they ex
pect to show the locals that they
will have no chance of heading them
in the league race.
The confidence displayed by the
Oniaha club and its backers is as
great as that of the Des Moines sat
ellites and the locals will have the
opportunity to judge how far the
Gate City club outclasses the Iowa
team. The followers of the team
from the state across the river be
lieve that they will disabuse the
minds of the Nebraska club's fol
lowers of the idea that they will
head the league for any great length
of time. They concede that Omaha
may be up with them until the two
teams meet later in the season, but
after that, they expect the locals to
fall behind.
Just who will be in the line-up for
the Des Moines club is not known
here at this early date, but Jackson
will send the same team on the
field that opposed the Armour semi
pros, except that Kirby, the new
outfielder, will gambol around the
left outer garden. Fuhr will likely
be Bill's choice to start the game
with Townsend and Kopp to finish
the game, and if it is necessary, he
will have Manske, Merz and Robin
son ready to go on the mound.

Over 1 50 Employes at
Banquet of Nebraska
Clothing Company
Gay music, reinforced by good
food, went a long way towards mak
ing the first Nebraska Clothing com
pany get-together banquet held Fri
day evening in the main dining hall
of the Paxton hotel, an unqualified
success. More than 150 employes,
heads of the various departments,
managers, advertising men and the
executives of the firm were pres
ent. Promotion of the ideals of service
and co-operation were emphasized
by the various departmental heads
in short addresses.
William L. Holzman, treasurer of
the firm, spoke on the importance
of good salesmanship in bringing
success to any undertaking. He
made several suggestions as to
methods whereby the sale of any
article could be facilitated.
"The store is only what you make
it," he stated to his employes. "The
success of the institution is entirely
dependent upon you. If you make
our business your business and our
interests your interests the success
of the Nebraska Clothing company
is assured. Our success is your suc
cess because it is our intention to
allow each of our employes to share
it."
A five-piece orchestra furnished
the music. Singing by all present
preceded and followed the banquet
and was also interspersed between
courses.
"Daddy" Flynn made an unex
pected visit to the dining hall and
remained to deliver a long health
talk. ' '
Another banquet on a larger scale
is being planned by the store exec
utives. According to heads of the
firm the spirit of co-operation en
gendered by these affairs-ls invalu
able to a growing concern.
ITALIAN MOVE
BELIEVED NOT TO
ENDANGER PEACE
Fiume Situation Created by
Wilson Considered Exag
gerated by Some Officials
In Washington.
By JUSTIN M'GRATH.
(Universal Bervia Staff Oorraepaaaeat.)
Washington, April 25. The situs-,
tion crested by President Wilson's
declaration of opposition to Itslys
claims to Fiume may not be as fatal
as it appears on the surface.
An exaggerated Importance may
be given to the withdrawal from
Paris of Italy's representatives.
While their withdrawal admittedly is
a very serious development, the best
informed opinion here is that It will
not necessarily endanger a peace to
which all of the allies, Including
Italy, will agree. '
Italy has been worked up to fever
of Flume
and Orlando and Sonnino have now
passed the responsibility for the fu
ture course' of Italy from themselves
to the Italian people.
Think Allies Agreed.
The belief here is that President
Wilson did not issue his statement
until he had a very definite under
standing . with Lloyd George and
Clemenceau as to the position Great
Britain and France were prepared
to take with respect to Fiume.
The president in his statement
called attention to the fact that
"Fiume is not included in the pact
T J . 1 J
oi ionaon, Dut mere aenmieiy as
signed to the Croatians." , ' "
And m connection with this state
ment of the president it is important
to read the cable announcement that
Lloyd George and Clemenceau no
tified Orlando that, if Italy insisted.
Great Britain and France v would
recognize the London pact as a bind
ing obligation.
Will Not Get Fiume.
If Italy is only to get what it wa.
to get under the London treaty it
will not get Fiume. The announce
ment by Lloyd George and Clemen
ceap to Orlando, therefore, was
merely a diplomatic way of inform
ing him that Great Britain and
France would support the position
of the United States with respect to
Fnine as against that of Italy.
The view taken here is that the
uncompromising stand assumed by
Italy, if persisted in. is bound to
prove more serious for Italy than
menacing to the character of peace
which the United States, Great
Britain and France are of a mind to
make.
What will be Italy's position in
the event hat it refuses to become
a party to the peace of Paris and
undertakes to hold Fiume and all
of the Dalmatian coast against the
decision of the Paris conference?
Doubt Separate Treaty.
Of course, it could never negotiate
an individual treaty with the central
powers which would give it Fiume
and the Dalmatian coast. To re
main in possession it would have to
depend upon force.
Naturally, it could count upon no
assistance from the allies." It would
be confronted with the armed and
determined opposition of the Jugo
Slavs and tne Czecho-SIavs. with
whom Hungary, Bohemia and Ser
bia would be in sympathy, if not in
actual alliance.
A - J t.-t.i- t. -
mm, iiuc jmpi uuau.c, 111 autii in
eventuality. Germany would render
valuable aid to the forces arrayed
against Italy to revenge itself for
Italy's repudiation of its obligation
to the central powers, with whom it
was allied at the beginning of the
great war. f
Now Orlando and Sonnino under
stand all these dire possibilities in
volved in Italy's breaking with her
allies and pursuing an independent
course.
