Minor Leagues
Opposed to New
Ball Agreement
Little Ones Complain Because
They Have No Voice Nor
Vote in Major-Minor .
't Controversy.
:hlemrTrlbuii-Onih Be ltd Wire.
Chicago, Dec. 28. Opposition to
the new agreement between major
and minor leagues drafted in New
York recently, crystalized yesterday
at a conference in Chicago between
President Maines seem to be that
Micfligan-Ontario league and Presi
dent A. R. Teamey, of the Western
league. President .Sexton of the
Minor League association was to
. have attended the conference, but
wai delayed.
The chief objections to the pro
posed agreement between the big cir
cuits and the little ones as stated by
President Maines see into be that
the minors will have no voice or vote
in any major-minor controversy, that
the 25-ycar life of the agreement Is
1 too long, and that it gives the minors
no voice in the choice of a successor
to Judge Kenesaw M. Landis at the
expiration of his seven-year term.
President Maines ve-iccd the opin
ion previously expressed by Presi
dent Hickcy of the American associ
ation that the minor leagues would
be willing to accept Judge Landis as
a commissioner of base ball with all
' the powers granted him by the pro
posed agreement, but would want
that agreement to expire when Judge
Landis ceases to hold that power.
In fact the final article of a sub
agreement proposed by President
Maines, reads as follows :
"Thl compact ahull remain In ' fores
no Ion nil tha Hon. K. M. Laiulla contin
ues to hold tho offloa of commissioner."
In discussing this angle of the
proposition, President Maines said:
"If tha major-minor compact were to
remain In force -toily. as ionir as Juilne
I.andls rontlmiia to hold th offUs of com
missioner, It would make llttlu difference
; whether or not tha minora hud a voice
1 In choosing his aucreasor, or whether pro
vlilotia for tha voice were made at thla
' tlm. I
"That brldg-e can be crossed whn we
eome to It, and aa many of the faces
' now In the majors and minora probably
will be dimmed before another commla
, aloner muat he choiie.11. a method of choice
satisfactory to everybody, may be reached
by that timo."

"The forward pass is not a threat

a deceptive play to keep the de

More Truth
By JAMES J.
oi t a nitkio im
When Yank or Briton nobly serves his nation,
He gets a welcome at the city hall, !
And sundry speeches of congratulation
From dignified officials that is all. .
But when a Frenchman does a deed of glory,
With ululating thousands at his heel
He's dragged, still powder-stained, and torn and gory,
Upon the stage at the Hotel de Ville.
And there, some podgy geek
Implants a dozen kisses on each cheek.
And this explains, what you perhaps have wondered,
Why Frenchmen who are heroes to a man,
And ne'er retreated wen the cannon thundered
Grow long and brfftly whiskers if they can.
These brushes are not worn for pride or pleasure,
By Gallic heroes they would be eschewed,
But they provide the best defensive measure
Against the common form of gratitude.
You'd grow your lilacs, too,
If fat officials started kissing you!
And now that osculation's interdicted,
And handshakes substituted over there,
Hirsute adornment's sure to be restricted
To people's heads if they possess the hair.
All honor to the gallant men who wore 'em,
For kisses were the heroes' certain lot,
So every Frenchman had a reason for 'em
Which those who wear 'em over here have not.
Why gents let whiskers sprout
This side the sea, is what we can't find out!
WE KNEW THAT LONG AGO
The market expert who tells us that feathers are down must have
been browsing through the dictionary.
THE GREATER NEED
We learn that alcohol can be made from gasoline, but if the con
vene were true it would help more.

A free bridge for Omaha wa. en
dorsed in a report submitted .to'.the
executive committee of the Chamber
of Commerce yesterday by a special
committee, composed of 12 members,
appointed to investigate the practi
cability of the project recently pro
posed 'by Mayor Kd P. Smith.,.-
Because of the growth of popula
tion and development of traffic-between
Omaha and Council , Bluffs,
the committee went on record , in
the report as being unanimously of
the opinion that the present bridge
facilities between the two cities are
inadequate. ' .

omniends that steps be taken in the
near future to develop plans' for the
building of a new bridge, which -will
provide for largely increased, busi
ness in the future. ; .'
Favors Building of Bridge." '
To that end the committee's re
port, as adopted by the executive
committee, advises: ,1'
"1. That the .Chamber of Com
merce of Omaha declare itself m
favor of the citizens of. Omaha and
Council Bluffs initiating plans to se
cure the needed bridge within a rea
sonable time after due consideration
of location, size, cost and adapta-
That the Chamber of. Cohi
mere'e appoint a committee. -to; e
known as the bridge committee, -ot
25 members, which shall be represen
tative of the wholesale, retail, manu
facturing ahd real estate interesttj
the community. This committee shal
appoint an executive committee ot
seven from its number to consider
the location that is best adapted to
serve Omaha and Counci Bluffs, to,
study the demands that will be made
upon the bridge, to secure all neces
sary information as to the size. charj
acter and cost of the bridge, and to
study all phases of the bridge ques
tion with a view to serving the best
interests of the two communities,
v.nnrts to Re Made.
"The executive committee shall re
port back to the bridge committee
for suggestions and advice, and tipon
the completion of its work, it hall
malr a fill 1 rpnnrt to the bridge com
mittee, which shall in turn report its
findings to the executive committee
Of the Chamber of Commerce.
"The bridge committee shall serve
until it shall have secured full in
formation that may be desirable for
the citizens, of Omaha and Council
Bluffs to have, preliminary to intelli
gently voting upon bond issues. -
"3. The committee suggests .that
the bridge, when built, shall ade
quately provide for heavy traffic
such as street railway and trucks
and also for lighter traffic of wag
ons, automobiles and pedestrians.
While we recommend the utmost
economy in building the, bridge we
enarowct that trii nolicV should Dot
be carried to the extent of impair
ing tne adequacy oi mc eiim-iit.

"4. We submit that an under
taking of this importance should
not be entered upon with too great
haste. ., The. state of the bond rrjar-'
ket at the present time is such that
bonds canndt be marketed at rea
sonable rates. In view of the pres
ent high cost of steel, cement, other
materials and labor, and the prob
ability that the cost of these items
will K tnnlpriallw lower in trie nJext
year or two, it would seem prudent
before entering activelv uoon the
construction of the bridge."

"The rheumatism worked in inv
back and limbs,.'' Sometimes it was
so bad I couldn't get up out of !fny
chair, and my legs hurt so terribly
at times I could scarcely hobble
around. Although I just tjied
everything I could hear of for thse
troubles. I just suffered right ori.
"Finally I began reading about
Tanlac in the papers and sawl a
statement from a judge which; J so
impressed me I decided to try 'the
medicine out in my case. After fin
ishing my second bottle I notice a
change for the better, so I went
right ahead taking it until notf I
don't feel like the same person,1 I
can cat anything I want and nU-er
have the least touch of indigestipn.
The rlicumatis.ni has disappeared
from my back a-.J limbs and I;(an
get about just like I used to vjar?
ago. I sleep like a log. too, and
mornings 1 feel fine. Tanlac Ker
taihly is great and I am glad of the
chance to say a good word forljt."
