the Church league, were tortunate
in comiug through the first halfof

hand to cheer their favorites on to
victory. Commerce High are out
to get revenge over the University

Bluffs High contest should also
prove exciting as the wiremen have
strengthened their lineup and are
out to get revenge over their oppo
nents. Three Lively Tussles ,
The Y. M. H. A. should have an
easy time winning over the Thor

Champion Skater
Defeated in Race
At Christiania
Christiania, Feb. 8. Oscar Mathie-
sen, of this city, defeated Robert Mc
Lean of Chicago, the world's ice
skating champion, by two-fifths of a
second in the 1,500-meter race to
day. Mathiesen covered the distance
in 2 minutes 244-5 seconds, while
McLeans time was 2 minutes 281-5
seconds.
Mathiesen also won the 10,000
meter contest in 18 minutes 30 1-10
seconds. McLean's time for this
event was 19 minutes 2-5 seconds
In the 500-meter race on Satur
day McLean led for three-quarters
of the distance, but Mathesen, with
powerful spurt, outstripped him
near the end.
McLean took the lead from the
start in the next event at 5,000
meters and kept it to the finish. At
the end of Saturday's contests both
McLean and Mathiesen appeared to
be tired. Some of the spectators
loudly voiced their disappointment
over the time made, as conditions
for fast racing were most favorable.
McLean was the winner of the
5,000-meter race, leading almost the
whole distance. His time was 8
minutes 53 7-10 seconds. Mathiesen
claimed to be indisposed.

FATHER-
World's Ice Skating
Title Is Taken From
McLean by Mathiesen
Christiana. Feb. 8. Oscar Math
iesen of Christiana has won the
world's ice skating championship
fromi Robert McLean of.. Chicago.
The final races were held today and
Mathiesen captured both of them
the 1,500 metres and the 10,000
metres.
On Saturday the American took
the 5.000 metre event, while Mathie
sen defeated him in the 500 metre
sprint.
The contests were held in cloudy
weather but the ice was in good
condition. I here was enough wind,
however, today to prevent new
world's records for the distances.
McLean led throughout the 1,500
metre race, but Mathiesen passed
him near the end.
In the 10,000 metre race.. McLean
got off first and continued leading
up to the last two and one-half laps,
when he appeared to become ex
hausted. Mathiesen won by three
quarters of a lap.
An enthusiastic crowd including
the king and queen and Prince Olav
were present.
The royal family, with the Amer
ican minister and his wife, were in
the royal box.
In the 1,500 metre event, McLean
started out like a whirlwind, making
the first 500 metres in 40 5-10 sec
onds. This outclassed Mathiesen'r,
world record of Saturday, which
was 43 3-10 seconds. But the Amer
ican apparently overstrained himself
in this burst of speed, and Mathie-.
sen succeeded in passing him and
winning by a fraction of a second.
In the last contest of the series,
the 10,000 metres McLean was badly
beaten. He said that he was handi
capped, by the air being too light,
which interfered with his breathing.

A Message
To the Ammericaini Public
From J. Ogden Armour
President, Armour and Company
For some time we have had a thought with which we have
wanted to acquaint the American public, and it concerns the
future of Armour and Company.
From a small beginning sixty years ago, serving a few people
locally and under the management of the Armour family, we
have expanded to a point where we now serve many millions
of people all over the world.
We have come to the view that a wide distribution of
ownership of any corporation serving a large number of people
is of advantage not only in maintaining the human relation
between employer and employe but between those from whom
it buys and those to whom it sells.
Realizing that a business of the character of ours is so nec
essary to the public, we believe they should be accorded the
privilege of participating in its ownership. As a beginning,
two years ago we offered our debentures, which were ex
changeable into preferred stock. As a result, we now have
eleven thousand preferred stockholders.
With the thought in mind of further public participation we
have decided to segregate our leather properties. The announce
ment of the offering of preferred and common stock of the
Armour Leather Company will be made in this paper tomorrow.
J. OGDEN ARMOUR
THAT1
WASN'T A
HONEXMOON
bowling champion of the Omaha
delegation here today, walking off
with top honors in the nine-game
event, playing third in the singles
and with A. Jedlicka rolled into
third place in the doubles.
McCoy's average in the nine-game
event was better than 190 pins per
game. His total score for the series
was 1,712, while that of his nearest
competitor, Ed Danckert of Milwau
kee, was 1,109. But McCoy was by
no means the only Omaha pin
buster to worm into the list of honor.
L. Hammond is occupying the su
preme pinnacle in the singles with a
;core of 622. Hammond hit the pins
in great style today, his consistent
rolling being one of the features of
the play. McCoy played third in the
singles with 609. McCoy and Ted-
iicka made 1,143 pins for third posi
tion in the doubles, but could not
deliver the necessary pins to roll the
leaders from their perch. The higli
score in this event is 1,161. The
Daytons Bluff alleys were well popu
lated with Omaha persons tonight,
the early evening shift being com
posed almost wholly of Omahans.
Steel Strike In U. S.

ror nngiana s mius
London, Feb. 8. England gained
in the recent slump in the output of
American steel and tools, according
to Sheffield correspondents. An ex
traordinary rush of foreign orders
was diverted from America into the
Yorkshire market, consumers indi
cating a readiness to pay the high
est prices for quick delivery.
France is taking huge quantities
of materials for motor car con
struction. Big contracts for alloy
steel, mild steel, files and saws have
been entered into with South
America, Italy, Spain, India and
the British Colonies.
