WOmen's Games at Country Club.
That the directors of the Omaha Country
club made a wise move when they put
Frank Colpetzer in charge of the womens
department of golf at the Country club has
been made apparent during the last week
by the way in which he is making things
hum, even before the start Of the sea-
son. He will inaugurate the season by a
banquet to the women golfers of the club
with a little banquet at the Omaha club
Tuesday evening, at which time the schedule
OF play will be laid out and other matters
of interest discussed.
Mr.. Colpetzer has secured seven good
and valuable prizes already for which the
women will compete and as this is nearly
as many as there were women playing last
year there may be nearly enough prizes
to go around II he keeps on getting prizes
The general golf committee is registering a
protest at the activity of Mr.. Colpetzer, as
he is treading on their preserves and getting
prizes which otherwise might have been
given for the men to contest for, but Mr..
Colpetzer simply smiles and says the
early bird catches the worm" and goes on
collecting his prizes He has a list OF
prizes which would be the envy OF any
club and this may be the means OF arous-
ing more interest among the women golfers
during the summer at this popular club.

President Rourke may we'll feel proud
Of the record his recruits have made up

all the teams which have appeared TO date
but they have trounced some good ones
amongst tho lot. The Originals were first
taken on and It was taken for granted
that Pa would win from these for they

In Omaha, and yet there were several ac-
knowledged heavy hitters IN the bunch,
They had been TO the City Of Mexico
where they had trained under sweltering
sun, which had put them in midsummer
condition. and stnl they were not able to
win from Pas team. They won from Des
Moinos and from Kansas City so Pas
men again look strong by comparison.
Then came S. Paul. They have long
been recognized as leaders in their league
the American association. and they Were
trounced worse than the White Sox had
been. This team was not made up of sub
stitutes but had a fast and strong bunch
Of players The pitchers were I'm good
form and pitched fast and good ball, and
still the On'ah1 players shut out the Saints.
Words Of praise are heard on all sides
for the energy displayed by Pa Rourke In
getting together a new and fast bunch Of
youngsters, who give every indication Of
making good. The fans have seen them
perform in three games now, and nothing
but good words are heard from these fans
as they leave the bail park after an eX-
hlbitlon game Although the weather has
been bad for all the games, a goodly num-
Der has faced the cold spring brcezes to
see the recruits work out, and the verdict
seems to be on all sides that Omaha is TO
have a top notch ball team. one that it
will be a pleasure to watch play when the
season once opens out.

A day of conferences between the Central
American representatives here in the effort
70 reach a basis for peace had no marked
results. Having deciphered' the cable re
Spouse from his own government to the
propositions submitted to him yesterday
by the representatives Of Salvador and
Guatemala, Senior Corea, the Nicaraguan
minister called today upon Senior CTeel,
the Mexican ambassador, who has been TAX
ing the part of mediator, and acquainted
him with President Zelaya's answer This
made necessary further conference, which
fact was taken as an indication that the
Nicaraguan response was in the nature
Of a counter proposition. Messrs. Corea
and Creel then repaired to the State de-
partment to confer with Secretary Root
and Assistant Secretary Bacon. This con-
ference also settled matters only so far as
to pave the way to another conference
which was held late in the afternoon be-
tween Messrs. Creel, Corea, Herrante and
Mejia, the latter two representing Guate-
mala and Salvador, respectively.
1t is believed by some OF the parties to
these conferences that owing to the neces-
sity of consulting their home countries at
every stage, immediate satisfactory results
cannot be expected

WASHINGTON, April &c. Echasar-

leans, advises the Nlcaraguan legation In
this city that according to a communica-
ton from General Juan J. Estrada COM
handing the Nicaraguan expedition en-
gagged in capturing Honduran ports, eX-
plicit Instructions were given to the general
to follow strictly the rules and regulations
in accordance with international law when
nations are at war, guaranteeing the LIE
and property of every neutral citizen at
the different places where his forces would
be, General Estrada states that he was
ready to guarantee the life and property OF
every foreigner and that he had made
such guarantee good. He says this had
been proved by the fact that no com
plants have been made to the contrary
The only complaints received he said
were that there had been lack Of laborers
for the work of the banana plantations
which he said was because the Honduran
authorities made them soldiers TO fight
against the Nicaraguan forces. He stated
that as soon as the Nicaraguan forces took
possession Of a place they liberated as
many laborers as they could to go back
to their work.
