JOHNNY BENDER'S SUCCESSOR
New Football Coach is Also From
Nebraska.

Spokane, Wash, July q. Fred
Boiler of the state university of Ne
braska, has been elected track coach
and physical director of the Washing
ton state college at Pullman, south Of
Spokane, for 190S-9, succeeding ]. B.
Bender, resigned. Mr.. Boiler is re-
commended as an excellent all-around
athlete, and the college authorities be-
lieve the selection is fortunate one
At the last meeting of the board OF
regents the appointment Of Walter
Rheinshield as football coach was ap-
proved. Rheinshield has been on the
team for three years and
has last year and the previous held
second and third honors on the ALL
American. He is said to be an espec.
tally strong player at tackle and in
the backfield, which is deemed espec.
tally fortunate, inasmuch as w. S. C's
gridiron eleven will next year begin
operations somewhat crippled in these
positions, judging from the present
outlook.
The election of Boiler as physical
director and Rheinshield as football
coach signalizes a change in the ath-
letic faculty which has been discussed
at the college for several years. Here.
tofore one man has held the position
of physical director football coach,
and basket ball coach, the last incum-
bent of this Office being ]. B. Bender.
Under the new arrangement Boiler
will have general supervision over all
athletics, His function as track coach
will hold good all year, which will
mean that instead of having a few
months of working out" in the spring,
the track contingent will be at work
during the entire year.

According to c. M. Treat secretary
of the convention bureau of the
Chicago association of commerce, the
visitors numbered $4,000, but John C.
Roth, president of the hotelkeepers'
association, says they did not number
more than 10000, it being fact wor-
thy of note that the railroads issued
no passes to this convention, and did
not reduce rates much, their failure
to do so being to some extent made
up by the 2-cent-a-mile rates that pre-
vail in the Chicago territory. The
real convention was held as some one
has remarked in the big lake front
hotels, which were over-crowded with
guests, visitors and high tension con-
fabs. The marching clubs, which
spent large sums to attend the con-
vention, were lavish spenders and
feelings run high because there was
a failure to furnish the members there
with seats at the Coliseum. The Phila-
delphia marching club, for instance,
paid out $4,000 for their expenses,
and this was about a fair average for
the others. Every one benefited by
the convention, the butcher, baker
and candlestick maker, the dealers in
the necessary commodities more than
the rest, and the hotel men, provision
men and restaurantkeepers most.

to 0-Gun Shoot.

folk crowd was further augmented
during the day.
In base ball Norfolk lost to Hum
phrey to 0. The gun shoot was won
by r. A. Austin with A, Lager Of
Norfolk second.
Amid din Of cheers and brass band
music the members of the Madison
Commercial club greeted the Norfolk
delegation on its arrival. Mayor
Wyckoff of Madison and Mayor Stur.
geon of Norfolk led the crowd from
the depot up Main street to a large
pavilion above which the word well
come was spelled in large letters,
there the Norfolk and Madison bands
gave a short concert.
There was no public speaking so
the crowds collected-in the afternoon
for the ball game Before an ag-
gregation of fans extending three
fourths of the way around the diamond
and amid constant uproar the Hum
phrey team defeated the home team
to the tune of to 0. But it took two
hours of hard playing to do it. Hum
phrey scored in the first inning and
the score remained l to until the
sixth when Humphrey took another
brace and brought in three more runs.
The most exciting moment in the
game occurred when Hoffman drove
the ball clear out into left field and
made home run, bringing in two
others. After the cheering had ceased
the umpire announced that it was
foul ball. Kirkland made pretty
catch in the fifth by running into the
crowd of fans and coping onto a
wicked foul. Shafer was unable to
play so Reynolds took his place.

BLAME FOR CASUALTIES.
kruettschnitt Blames Public For Vast
Majority of Cases.

"We may be sure that the moment
public opinion changes and shows a
willingness to support officials in en-
forcing vigorous discipline we shall
see a change recorded in efficiency
and lower death rate on American
railways"
This statement is made in the July
issue of Appleton's Magazine by julius
Kruettschnitt of Omaha, director Of
maintenance and operation for the Har-
riman system of roads, whose business
takes him to Norfolk occasionally. Mr..
"The Publics Responsibility for Rail
way Accidents" and he says many
things which few railroad men of the
country have had the nerve to say in
public. He declares that at present it
is impossible for the railroads to en-.
force a thorough-going discipline.
ut cannot be denied" admits Mr..
Kruettschnitt," that the efficiency of
railroad employees has deteriorated in
the past few years, and this deterior-
ter how generously every material
equipment is provided, 1t is useless I'M
less the road is efficiently manned. It
is, therefore, altogether regrettable
that the attitude of our employees has
changed. That it has been changed
from loyalty and consideration to in
difference, if not to disloyalty, no OBJ
server will deny. And the influence
which has brought about this change
is unquestionably the present state of
public opinion which condemns all
corporations indiscriminately."
Mr.. Kruettschnitt insists that there
must be improvement in railway OPP
Grafton as the cost of life is reproach
alike to the operators and the users of
transportation facilities. He thinks
that time is ripe for change in public
sentiment toward the infliction of dis
cipline and he believes that this senti-
ment can be fostered by the fullest
publicity regarding railway accidents.
Appalling as is the sum total of
the casualties" he says, lit is, in my
opinion, the duty of the railroad man.
ayers rather to give them greater pub |
licity than to minimize Or to conceal |
them. They concern us all, railroad |
men and public alike"
It is shown that lightweight per
cent of the deaths and eighty-two per
cent of injuries which occur are from
causes beyond the control of the rail
roads, such as trespassing and jump,
ing on and off moving cars. In many
cases accidents occur from culpable,
needless disregard of safety appliances
'or which the railroads have thus far
expended a toal of approximately $685.

grave an offense to disregard the use

abroad to fail to furnish them. It is
also shown that the roads spend large
sums annually in educating their en-
oloyes to the use of appliances and

SEEK SUBSTITUTE FOR ALFALFA
Agricultural Department Sends South
Dakota Professor to Russia.

Bookings, S. D., July 3.-For the
third time Prof. Neils F. Hansen of
the South Dakota college of agricul-
ture located here, has been sent abroad
by secretary of agriculture James Will
son to investigate the plant life of
Russia and Siberia, and if possible
find legume similar to alfalfa which
will thrive in the extreme nothern part
of the United States, particularly in
North Dakota, Montana and northern
South Dakota.
The return of Prof. Hansen will be
awaited with considerable interest by
all those who are anxious to see 100
head of cattle fed on lands in the
northwest, which are now feeding ten
head, and believe there are plants
which will flourish on the semi-arid
lands of the north as alfalfa has flour
ished further south than the Dakotas.
Prof. Hansen is expected to return
to the United States in November. He
will report to his chief, the secretary
of agriculture, but the results of his
visit to the sections of northern Eu-
rope and Asia, will first be made pub
lie at the national exposition which
is to be held in Omaha December 9
to 49, A special day is to be set aside
for the agricultural colleges and Prof.
Hansen will be the speaker for the
South Dakota college.
