TRUSTEES MANAGE AFFAIRS
Old Colony Trust Company Secures
Change I'm Receivers of
standard Sugar.

W. II. Ferguson Of Lincoln has resigned
as receiver Of the Standard Beet Sugar
company and Harry p. Deuel. of Omaha has
been appointed IN his stead, the resignation
of Ferguson and appointment of Deuel. be-
ing confirmed by Judge Munger in the
United States circuit court Saturday morn
ing.
w. D. McHugh also has resigned as SOIL
citor in the receivership matter. but con.
tinues as attorney for the Old Colony Trust
company, which as trustees represent the
mortgage creditors of the Standard conf
pany.
The question of continuation Of the opera
ton OF the plant at Ames was under dis
eussion by the reorganization committee
for the Standard company and the Old
Colony Trust company before Judge Mum
ger Saturday morning. The court was in
disposed 10 authorize the issuance Of re-
ceivers certificates for the operation OF the
! plant on the ground that the indebtedness
against the concern would thereby be in
| creased. A compromise probably will be
agreed upon by the representatives Of the
mortgage creditors, whereby a sufficient
sum may be raised by subscription among
themselves TO operate the plant this season.
] The matter of the compromise proposition
was gone into In greater detail during the
afternoon hearing of the case and was
finally agreed to. The change in receivers
was mutual ard was actuated by the desire
OF the trustees to manage affairs. Mr..
Deuel.. therefore, is nominally receiver.

HIS OWN RECORD STILL STANDS

one Of the musical novelties OF the sea-
son was J. w. Waterbury, the champion
ong-dstanee piano player Of the world,
who began an engagement at the W. r.
Bennett companys store Friday evening
and played continually until S:1415 Saturday
evening. MI. Waterbury began at sos FRI
day evening and started In to break his
own record OF twenty-seven and one-half
hours of continuous playing. He failed,
playing only twenty-five hours eleven and
one-halt minutes.
A crowd was in front OF one Of Ben
netts show windows all day yesterday
watching this man whose powers have
been developed in a rather unusual man
ner. To the person guessing the closest
TO the exact time Mr.. Waterbury would
play the Bennett company offered a $500
piano.
Five months ago at Wichita he made
| his record OF twenty-seven and None-half
hours after defeating Frank r. Powell
\ who made twenty-six and three-quarteI
| hours and refused 70 play against Water
! bury after that. Powell and Waterbury
met in Omaha Friday evening for the hrst

! Powell went into the Bennett window and
played several duets with Waterbury and

WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY

The eighth biennial convention OF the
General Federation Of WOmen's Clubs the
st. Paul Biennial which closed Friday,
will go down in club annals as a turning
point in the career OF that organization OF
nearly 100000 OF the most representative
cultured and educated women OF America.
In its material aspect the meeting stands
unrivaled even by the Los Angeles hi
ennisl that club women have been wont
TO cite as supeTlative in all that hospitality
convenience and local attractions could
contribute. It was not as large the Los
Angeles meeting. but the audiences that
filled the Armory auditorium for its pro-
grams were the largest that have yet
been attracted to it's sessions, the capacity
Of over 5000 having been taxed at several
sessions.

LATEST VIEW OF IVES DEAL
Publication Of Thrift Making Carload
Commodity Rates on Car
load Let's.

New York and Chicago as well as Omaha
have become aroused over the fact that
d. o. Ives is corralling all the dry goods
business for the Wabash road. All the
roads have been exerting the utmost EFFORT
to find out just what Mr. Ives did TO secure
the hauling of these goods and many
theories have been advanced. The latest
and what is thought in several circles to
be the exact thing which Mr.. Ives did. was
to agree TO publish tariff making carload
commodity rates apply on straight or mixed
carload lots, in fact, upon all business now
classified as FIRST class from Buffalo, Chi
cago and st. Louis Co the Missouri river
points. This will cause a general stir In
rates, for II will include not only dry
goods, but drugs, boots and shoes. clothing
and all high class freight.
What the effect OF this wholesale cutting
OF the rate will be is only surmised, but
II is Just what Mr. Ives fought against at
the Chicago meeting. He said then It
would demoralize all the high class freight
business Of the country. This is the con-
cession the dry goods men asked for and
did not get. largely because OF the opposi-
ton of Mr.. Ives. r-f-ua- -
When the Indictment against Mr.. Crosby
and Mr.. Thomas was filed the dry goods
men saw they would have to look TO some
other road than the Burlington for con-
cessions so have been flirting with the other
roads All sorts Of reports have been eircu-
lated, but nothing definite was known until
suddenly the dry goods began to arrive over
the Wabash in such quantities that the
local facilities for handling were swamped.
Whether Mr.. Ives made the promise
that these goods already shipped were to
receive the reduction is not known, al
though the time for filing on these has ex.
pired.

sure, afternoons and two whole days set

1t was essentially conference rather than
a convention and the calm intelligent dis
cussions of the several large interests that
came before the meetings demonstrated the
grasp the club women have of some of
the most serious issues OF the day and the
strides they have made in broadening to
these larger interests. Added to the expe-
rience OF the club women was the advice
OF some OF the foremost authorities on the
various questions under consideration.
Usually these speakers addressed the con-
vention at the morning sessions that all
might profit by what they brought, con-
ference following in the afternoon for those
more Immediately interested. II was this
plan that made the eighth biennial different
from those that have preceded It and much
more valuable to those seeking inspiration
and help. Heated discussions and lively
differences Of opinion made these afternoon
meetings most interesting and profitable.
This arrangement left the afternoon clear
for those whose interests conferred In other
things than those under discussion and
made It possible for the delegates to choose
only what they wished to hear, thus elm
| mating much fatigue.

There Is little question In the minds OF
the women who attended the ST. Paul meet
ing that any issue that might have arisen
could not have prevented the reelection OF
Mrs. Sarah Plat Decker and her able star
OF officers. The federation was not unsni-

ton, but among the women who have borne
the heaviest burden, this able woman was
appreciated for her real value. In the dts

OF the country was remembered. Through
some Misunderstanding OF previous repre-
sentation, Nebraska was not among the

dates received support that was more than

But the most significant feature of the
convention was the broader tolerance of
the women from every section. The altru-
istic tendency OF club work that has re-
suited in 80 much legislative effort during
the last four years has confronted club
women with a consideration Of matters
that only few years ago would have
disrupted their organization had they been
brought before the convention.
Biennial programs of the past have had
to conform to a long list-of presidents and
unwritten laws that have not only ma
terially limited their scope. but have kept
the women in anxiety fearing that some
chance violation would result disastrously.
| This year II was different" regardless Of
precedent all matters pertaining to the fed
eration's work we're given q hearing, and
with a result that justifedf all the conf
dence that had been placed in the unity Of
the organization by the women who have
| had its management in charge during the
| last two years. Chief among the tabooed
| subjects was woman suffrage, but even this
| came up for a hearing-not under Just that
| name, to be sure. but IL was an unvarnished
presentation of women's rights as they per-
tain to the various lines along which the
General Federation is working. 1t came up
in the legislative session and repeatedly the
women rose TO their feet and waved their
handkerchiefs or applauded enthusiastically
during the course Of three addresses on
methods OF legislation and property rights
for women. The convention was not called
upon to commit the federation regarding
woman suffrage. but had II been there Is
little question but that 1t would have given
it's endorsement rather than repudiate the
principles involved. Notwithstanding the
