Team succumbs to Jayhawksrs,
POOR WORK BY LOCAL TEAM RESPONSIBLE
Comparatively weak Aggregation
from Lawrence Destroys Hope OF
the Association Men for
western Championship.

Just when the Young Mems Christian as
sociation basket ball team Of this city had
the championship Of the transmissouri
country within it's grasp II forfeited the
honors by suffering defeat at the hands Of
the Kansas university team on the gym
nasium floor last night, 26 to "a.
By all the indications Of previous form
the local team should have won, and it lost
solely bV showing a grade Of basket ball
far below its usual standard. The omahans
we're simply of their game. They could
not ind the baskets on their own field, and
at the foul line they were equally as help
less as in field play.
Omaha has this season defeated the Has
kell Indians and the Lincoln Young Mems
Christian association. The Indians de-
feated the Lincoln Young Mems Christian
association and the University Of Nebraska.
Both the Lincoln Young Mems Christian
association and the University Of Nebraska
defeated the Kansas team last week. In the
face Of all that the local men allowed the
Jayhawkers to beat them by a scratch last
night.
Knnsans Play Clean Ball.
The Kansans are good, game players and
they put up the cleanest ball yet seen on
the part Of a visiting team. They are a
bNAdppAuB CItNs lOuT VI luH party UbluB
players from the Kansas university foot
ball team Of last fall. Hicks was right end,
Allen right guard, ]. Afford right halfback
and Brummage right tackle. The latter is
this years foot ball captain. He did not
play last night, but served as umpire.
The visitors outweighed the local team
considerably, yet the latter should have
won. They threw more goals than the
strangers, 9 to z, but at that tine Omahans
missed chance after chance that they gen.
orally get. The field goal throwing, in fact,
was bad on both teams, 1t devolving upon
the c%enters, Hansen and Allen, to be the
stars at this because the forwards we're
all weak.
At throwing goals from the foul line the
home team was almost impotent, while on
this department of the game the visitors
won. Captain Miller of the locals, usually
so strong at the foul line toss, was helpless
last night, and after a couple of trials Han
sen gave it up also. G. Willard then threw
four out OF the five remaining chances.
These, with Miller's two, made six scores
to add to the eighteen made at field throw
ing.
Good Individual Work.
Meanwhile Dick was doing great work
from the foul line for Kansas. He threw
twelve goals out Of nineteen chances,
Omaha making an unusually large num-
Der of fouls. That little bunch Of twelve
was just enough to win the game for Kan
sas. In the first half the contest was all
their way, the score being 10 to 8. but in
the second half omaha made a desperate
attempt to pull out, and scored sixteen
points, which was not enough by two, as
the visitors made thirteen more. The score

PAINTERS MAY STRIKE
FOR HIGHER WAGES
Aggrieved by Failure of Builders to
Live Up to Agreement.

The Washington Chapter OF the
Brotherhood OF Painters, Decorators,
and Paperhangers, having a member
ship of more than seven hundred men,
a large majority Of the painters in the
city. is seriously contemplating a strike
for higher wages.
The question will come up at meet
ing OF the union on Monday night. Last
night a greatly excited meeting was
held. and many of the painters advo-
a day, their present wage, 10 $3.50 a
day. II this demand is made and not
granted. there will probably be a strike.
1t is said this determination on the
part of the union was brought about
by the Washington Builders Associa-
ton falling 10 keep its agreement with
the painters. made a year ago last
March, to employ local painters and
decorators as long as thege were enough
TO do the local work. In spite OF this
agreement, the builders have advertised
for oat-Of-town painters and have given
them preference over Washington men.
BY the contract. which was for two
years. the Washington painters prom
ised not 20 ask an increase in .iaY. Tne
painters now consider they are dbsoived
from this promise, and furthermore feel
that the high cost of living in Washing

BERLIN. Sept. 12-Three of the lead
ing banks of Germany-the Deutsche,
the Disconto. and the Bleichroeders-
are completing an organization for oppo-
sition to the Standard Oil Company. The
banks will assume control of the two
principal Roumanian petroleum com
panies at Stanea. Romano, and Telega,
as well as a number of Galician petro-
leum firms, and expect 10 extend their
operations to Russia at the earliest op-
portunity. They are confident the enor-
nous capital at their disposal, combined
with German energy and efficiency, will
enable them TO raise the Roumanian and
Gaiician petroleum Industries to the
highest level of prosperity.
In 1902 the United States exported 10
Germany petroleum worth SIS, 600 600
and to Russia. Galicia and Roumania
together 50, 900 600 worth. The promoters
of the enterprise declare that this will
be reversed in the near future, and the
balance of trade will be on the other
side of the sheet.
The contest is awaited with the keen
est interest. as it is regarded as the
forerunner of many colossal struggles
for commercial supremacy between the
United States and Germany

Opening of Two Ports Prom

Minister Conger, at Pekin, has in
formed the State Department of a re-
quest made by the Russian government
for delay in the evacuation OF one dis
trict in Manchuria. This district is near
the Siberian line and is unimportant.
No reason is given for the desire of
Russia to remain there 1t is said that
the Russians desire to occupy this dis
trict for only two or three months after
October S. the date when Russia prom

The two Manchurian ports which are
to be opened to the world are nowhere
near the district in question, and their
opening will not be affected in any way
If Russia be permitted to remain in the
one district. as it has requested.
Relies on United States.
Dispatches have been received at the
japanese legation from Tokyo confirming
the report that the Russian minister at
Pekin had outlined conditions under
which provinces of Manchuria shall be
evacuated on October s.
While the text of the dispatches was
not given out. il was stated that in the
main they did not differ materially
from the reports from London concern
ing the news received there.
In reference to the London dispatch.
in which Il was said Japan relies on
the United States to join her in making
urgent representations to induce the
Russian withdrawal without conditions.
il was said at the legation the interests
of the Japanese and United States gov
ernments were Identical, and any move
ment which would benefit one would
further the wishes of the other.
Japanese representatives here say tha,
according TO dispatches received from
Tokyo, the Russian minister at Pekin
has added two new conditions to those
imposed on China as conditional TO the
evacuation of the Manchurian provinces
Japanese Envoy Loses Faith.
Until recently the Japanese minister
has believed it was the intention OF Rus
sia to keep her promise and withdraw
troops from Manchuria provinces with
out conditions of any character. none
having been suggested when the promise
to retire was made. From statements
made here, it is believed the Japanese
government construes the new move
ment on the part of Russia to be a de-
termination to maintain it's grasp on the
disputed territory. All japanese repre-
sentatives in foreign countries have been
advised Of the demands made by Russia.

Rome's position remains underlined N

OF Omaha. and several Catholic priests

the other.
Monsignor Falconio. the apostolic
delegate 20 the United States. refused
this morning TO say whether Bishop
Scanned was right or wrong In refusing
TO grant absolution to members of the
International typographical Union Ue-
cause they had subscribed to an oath. a
part OF which was worded as follows:
That my fidelity to the union, and
my duty 10 the members thereof. shall
in no sense be interfered with by any
allegiancc thai may now or hereafter
owe TO any other organization. social.

Meeting Called for Tomorrow.
Catholic members of the International
Typographical Union in Omaha have
called a meeting for tomorrow after
noon 10 discuss the attitude of the
Church toward the oath taken by the
members of the union. About one-third
OF the Omaha union is Catholic. and the
matter has become OF great Importance
since the decision of Bishop Scanned. OF
the Omaha diocese, that no member OF
the union should receive absoIution
from Catholic priests If he subscribes to
the union vow.
Bishop Scanned has said no man could
lawfully undertake the International
Typographical Union obligation, which
would make all government. eccIesias-
tical or civil, impossible. He said fur
thermore no good man could be a mem
Der OF the Roman Catholic Church and
adhere to the principles of the Typo
graphical obligation.
Washington Priests Opinions.
Priests in Washington maintain the
oath taken by the members of the Inter
national Typographical Union does not
mean that their religious and political
duties are subservient 10 their duties 10
the union. They say while the wording
of the oath is ambiguous, the union men
would never interpret II TO mean what
Bishop Scanned says. The question Of
whether or not members OF the union
shall receive absOlution has not been
raised by the whole Catholic church.
II is a local matter entirely. they say.
and only decision from Rome. or from
all the bishops of America could make
all the Catholic priests in America re-
fuse absolution to the union men. Each
priest can. however. give absolution or
not, according to the dictates of his
conscience. provided always he has not
received orders from his bishop to with
hold such absolution.
No Clash of Obligations
Local. members Of the l. T L. hold
that their pledge TO the union does not
interfere in any way with their religious
obligations. but they add no religious or
political organization shall interfere
with the union or its principles.
