For the second time this season the
Red Cloud football team met defeat
when it went against the Franklin
team on Thanksgiving day, at Guide
Rock. The Franklin team averaged
much heavier than the Red Cloud
eleven, and made its gains by bucking
the center. They threw their weight
against Red Clouds line andIby weight
and strength alone pushed the Red
Cloud boys back for four and five
yard gains on every down. The final
score was 30 to o in ~favorlof Franklin.
An effort is being made to arrange a
game for Christmas day between the
Blue Hill and Franklini.teams, to be
played in Red Cloud. The teams are
evenly matched In weight.

Files Opposition Statement Reviewing
Young Mans Financial Troubles
and Present Needs.
Mrs. Veronica C. Baird, guardian of
her son, Miles T. Baird, yesterday filed
objections to the application of Mrs.
Ruth Jackson Baird, the young mans
wife, for an allowance of 5000 a month
out of his estate. The mother declares
that SIS a month is enough for Mrs.
Baird Jr. and her child and that $102
is already received monthly by her
daughter-in-law from property pur-
chased by money given her by Miles
Baird. She denies that Miles Baird
paid his wife 5000 a month out of his
income, but says 1t was borrowed
money.
The elder Mrs. Baird explains her
sons financial transactions, beginning
with his share in the estate of his
father. y She says his interest Is now
pledged to her for advances of more
than $25.000 and the amount remain
ing for. him and his wife Is $15,592.
The income from his stock Is $306 a
month. The mother says that she re-
quires $110 month to pay for his
lodging and treatment and must en-
ploy a nurse. She asks the court to
reject the wife's clatm and make such
a disposition of the income as will per-
nit her to pay his $4,000 debts, provide
physicians to cure his incompetency
and save the remainder of his estate
for himself and family.

WILL MODIFY
AN AMENDMENT
Proposition for Leasing of
City Property Is to Be
Changed Before Submitted

One of the proposed charter amend
ments which the Board of Supervisors
decided some time ago to submit to a
election will be itself amended before
it's submission. The amendment in its
present shape provides for the lease of
land belonging to the city for a period
of fifty years, on condition that a
building equal to the value of the land
be erected on the site.
The amendment Is designed to secure
a favorable lease of the Lincoln School
property, at the corner of Fifth and
Market streets, as 1t would not prove
profitable to lessee to lease the prop
erty for shorter period.
Supervisor Braunhart, a member of
the Committee on Charter Amend
ments, who introduced the amend
ment, has been prosecuting> inquiries,
and has arrived at the conclusion that
the condition that building equal to
the value of the Lincoln School lot
might prevent an advantageous lease
thereof.
Braunhart ascertainedi yesterday that
the value of the lot described is $2,500,-
600. and under his amendment 1t would
require the erection of building worth
the same amount by the leaseholder.
He now believes that a building worth
81, 500 900 would be sufficiently elabo-
rate and would facilitate the granting
of lease.
Braunhart therefore has decided to
change his amendment, so as to re-
quire the erection of a building of the
value of so per cent Of the valuation
of the lot to be leased by the city, in
stead of one costing as much as the
value of the lot itself. He believes that
a structure costing million and a half
would be an ornament to the section
of the city in which the lot Is located,
and, to quote his own words, "a build
ing costing s1.500,000 would stand for a
century"
1t will be a long time before the pro-
visions of the amendment can be car
ried out, as the present lease does not
expire for several years.

MINOR APPOINTMENTS TO
BE MADE IN A FEW DAYS
Fire Commissioner Boyne Does Not
Relish Idea of Transfer I'm "Shift'
of CITY OfficiaIs

of City Oniclals.
The appointments to various subor-
dinate positions under the city govern
ment will be made in a few days. Her
bert Schmitz will be again named as
secretary of the Park Commission, re-
placing James de Succa, who will be
transferred either to the storekeeper-
ship of the Board Of Education or the
'secretaryship of the Board Of Works.
1t was said yesterday that Fire Com
missioner Boyne had refused to con-
slider the acceptance of the secretary
ship of the Police Commission to aid
in the proposed shift" already out
lined by The Call, whereby Supervisor
Finn Is to be made Fire Commits
sioner SO the Mayor may be enabled
to appoint Supervisor who will de-
fend his cause on the board. Who
that man will be has not been given out.
and in fact the matter has not been
settled. Boyne does not relish the idea
of taking subordinate position, al
though the Registrarship hardly enters
into that category and pays double the
salary of Fire Commissioner. Boyne
appears to be the stumbling block In
the plan. John G. Fitzgerald, Barney
Flood and George Berger have hopes
Of being favored for one of the vacant
positions.

Bernard Daniel O'Connell,s the at

is being investigated by the San Fran

quent appeal yesterday in his own be-
half. He claimed that he had been
a victim of political and religious per-
secution and that his arrest and i'm
prisonment was the result of a con-
spiracy on the part of his enemies.
O'Connell was sentenced to six
months imprisonment at Lowell on
the charge of being an accessory be-
fore the fact to the bribing of a pub
lie official. The appeal made by
O,Connell yesterday was listened to
with rapt attention by the members
Of the Bar Association and made q
