Guide for 1907 is out and is the first

ACKERMAN WON.

Al Ackerman, Llma'S wrestler,
held the winning hand last night in
his mat play with Alex Swanson of
Terre Haute, and fair-sized crowd
that gathered in Schenck's hall,
saw the Ohio man flop the Hoosier

AT the end of 35 1-2 minutes, Ack-
Ierman mad pinned Swanson down by
use OF a half-Nelson and leg lock.
In throwing Swanson, the second
time Ackerman employed ham

The outfield looks good even with
out "Bill" Miller, who has as yet
refused to sign his contract. The
infield looks good and the pitching
jstaff first class.

Tim Flood, one of the most popular
men on the team last year. Diumm

ment will book two games with. To-
lcdo at that place for the 12 and

games here. AS about twenty -four
men will be under salary at that
time II is expected that the young
sters will be taken on a trip by
Manager Drumm through the east
Tern part of the state and the older
heads will play exhibition games in
this city. tr<la e4
BY May 1, the team will probably
be weeded out until only about six
teen men remain. Thirteen or
fourteen men will be carried
throughout the season
Manager Drumm has received let
ters from most OF the men stating
that they are in good condition and
IeXpect to land the pennant for Mar

a request for slight touch on the
treasury.
Drumm will arrive in the city
i'm about two weeks and make final
preparations for receiving the play

HAVE ABUSED PRIVILEGE.
Gov. Sheldon of Nebraska Favors
Taking from Federal Courts Right
to Enjoin States.

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 13.-Because of
the restraining order granted by
Judge Munger of the federal court to
prevent the railway commission from
promulgating new grain rate sched-
ule, Gov. George l.. Sheldon Thursday
declared Llmself in favor of consti-
tutional amendment taking from fed
eral courts the right to enjoin state
officials from enforcing state laws
II believe the federal courts have
abused the privilege of the injunction
enough to Justify such action he
said. TOO many state laws have
been tied up by the interference of
the federal courts. do not believe
the makers of the constitution ever
contemplated such use of the injunc
ton in the hands of the federal
courts"

MARKS AN EPOCH
Performance of the Lusitania Proves
the Probability of. the
Turbine Engines.
FIVE DAYS AND 81 MINUTES
Her Average Speed Was 23.o1 Knots
Per Hour-NeW York Gave the
New Steamer Noisy
Welcome.

New York, Sept. IA few days
ago there was a local celebration of
the one hundredth anniversary of that
proud occasion when Robert Fulton's
130-foot steamer Clermont went puff
ing up the Hudson river at five miles
an hour. Friday New Workers turned
out to welcome a steam craft, the pas
sengers of which breakfasted in
Queenstown, Ireland, Sunday, and
lunched in New York Friday. Both
experiments, equally successful, were
epoch making in the way of propulsive
paddles and the new Cunarder with
her quadruple turbines. The voyage
of the Lusitania so happily completed,
was most important, in that it was a
test of the most modern propulsive
power. This is the view taken by her
owners, who are satisfied that the
practicability of the turbine for fast
ships has been demonstrated and that
this new departure in English ship
building has been justified. The fact
that the Lusitania was able to cross
the Atlantic in five days and 81 min
utes and was able, on her maiden trip,
nearly to equal the best transatlantic
record, is held to be of secondary i'm
portance. officials of the line said
Friday night that the Lusitania had
done all that was expected of her
without her having been pushed to
make a record, ana they were conf
dent that she would be able when
called upon, to add to her achieve
ments the fastest voyage across the
Atlantic.
The log of the Lustania gives her
time of passage as days and "a min
utes, and her time of arrival off rhe
Sandy Hook lightship as sos a. n.
Her average speed was 23.01 knots PER
hour, and the days runs were $50, 575,
$40, 593 and 4S3 to the lightship, a
total distance of 27S2 miles.
When the giant Cunarder swept up
the bay she was given a clamorous
greeting by an immense fleet of steam
craft, which had congregated off The
quarantine station 10 await neT dI-
rival Nearly every one of the yachts,
towboats and other steamers WAS
crowded with passengers, well sup
piled with horns and other noise
making devices, and at times even the
shrieking steam whistles were almost
drowned out by the toots and cheers.
The Lusitania presented magnificent
picture rs she slowly drew up ut quar-
antine. Her keen, high bow, beauti-
fully symmetrical lines and finely
modelled stern marked her true
greyhound. The first sight of New
York which the passengers on tire
big steamer gained was one of vel
come From the highest point of he
towering Singer building on Broad
way, the tallest of the buildings in The
world, there had been strung a series
of signal flags which in the marpe
code spelled welcome" The flut.eT-
ing greeting was 600 feet above Man
hattans great thoroughfare, and could
be seen far down the bay.
