WARM DEBATE ON BOND MONEY
Much Difference of Opinion Regard
ing Legitimacy of the
Transaction.

PIERRE. 8. D., Jan. 1~5,-(Special Tele-
gram.)-In committee of the whole today
with Mcpherson of Lawrence in the chair,
oratory flowed free and untrammeled by
rules when the Dillon bill. to return the
money secured from North Carolina on
bonds donated to the state, came up.
Dillon led for the bill and charged that
the whole transaction was tinctured with
fraud and that the state could do but one
of two things. either return the cash, or
go into q general collection business Of
bad debtS Of other states and accept all
OF that kind Of junk thrown at the state.
That the whole scheme had its inception
in Wall street, from where the bill was
sent here, by which the acceptance of the
bonds was made possible, and that 1t was
carried through by the joint efforts of
ex-senator Butler OF South Carolina, ex-
Senator Pettigrew OF South Dakota,
Wheeler H. Peckham Of New York, and
r, w. Stewart, at that time a state sena-
tor, the last two named being employed
as attorneys OF the New York contingent
back of the deal. His plant was tainted
money and he spurned any offer to trans
fer 1t to any fun Of the state on the
ground that it would blight any institu-
ton to which 1t was transferred. He spoke
TOT nearly TWO hours 10 a CROWDED senate
chamber. as the Hobbies were filled early
and the house rushed business to get
around to hear the first oratorical efforts
of the senator.
Senator Curtis OF Brown, who had moved
to amend the bill to place the money in
the school fund, then took the floor and
briefly recounted the transaction from its
beginning, taking the position that the
bonds on which collection was made were
legitimate indebtedness against North Car
DINA and had been so acknowledged by
the payment of a large part OF the bonds
by compromise and that in the settlement
North Carolina had the option of paying
cash or In stock OF the road for which the
bonds were issued. and preferred the cash
payment to turning over good. dividend
paying stock. The committee then rose
with a permission to sit again tomorrow
when others will be heard.
The senate railway committee today re-
ported favorably on the 2-cent rate; cleo

WITH THE BOWLERS.

In the st. Louis Tenpin league last week
the bankers five-men team rolled a total
or 3,Ol3. As good as this looks, 1t was poor
compared with $40 made by the BurKes.
Waldecker rolled 271, go and 90 for a total
OF 697, or an average of z32h. Fuerman
averaged 22O1s, and Jellim, probably one OF
the best bowlers in the United States today,
averaged only 1877. In the Burkes' game
schroeder totaled 1888 or an average of 2i41s.
Among the high scores made in st. Louis
the popular Cobonnes rolled 3,l06, winning
three straight from the Arcades, who could
get only SZ6, 1,025, 80 for a total OF 2,S66,
which is not so bad.
Miss Birdie Kern, in the Marquette
Woman's league, rolled PIG, l79, l76 for d
total OF 5l, or an average Of 1901.
There is really only three cities making
a bid for the 1910 American Bowling con-
gress tournament-Milwaukee, Baltimore
and Washington-with every thing in favor
OF Milwaukee, which is the home of A. L.,
LaPgtry, secretary of the American Bowl

KELLY &
AMEs AND CORNHUsKERs TO MEET
Nebraska Five Expects to Win Both
of the Games.

LINCOLN, Jan. l5-(Specisl.)-The Ne
braska basket ball season will be formally
opened in two games with the Ames quin-
tet at the university armcry tomorrow and
Saturday nights. Thu present indications
are that the Cornhuskers will win both
games, for the Aggies appear to be very
weak. while the Nebraska players have
improved greatly since their southern trip
last week.
The Ames team is now on trip. They
have played three games so far this week
and have met defeat in all OF them. Mon
day night they were swamped by the Uni
versity OF Missouri team and the following
night Kansas University took them into
camp by the score of 66 to q. Last night
they were defeated by the Wesleyan five
at University Place by the score of 81 to
q.
Since their return from Kansas last
week the Cornhuskers have been pratic-
ing hard every day for two hours and are
doing some brilliant work In goal tossing
and guarding. Captain Walsh, who was
completely out of condition in the two
games with Kansas has returned to his
old time form and DR.. Clapp expects him
10 do some sensational basket tossing In
both OF the coming contests. Woods has
also exhibited more accuracy in his work
at forward.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan 1.-THE choosing
of B. F. Shively as nominee for United
States senator by the democratic MEM
bers of the state Legislature was fol-
lowed this afternoon by a statement from
John w Kern. who was Shively's strong
est opponent.
Concerning the secret ballot, Mr.. Kern
says 1t made possible not only the be-
trayal of constituents by their repre-
sentatives, but all sorts of treachery,
double dealing and corrupt practices.
Shtvely was nominated on the TWEEN
tieth ballot, after the caucus had bal
loted for five hours. Mr.. Kern's state
ment. in part. is as follows:
1t Is a matter of great regret that un
| der the cloak of the secret ballot so
many representatives were able to defy
in mind several counties where the senti-
ment for my nomination was practically
known to their representatives., and yet
those representatives deliberately be-
trayed their people and voted for men

Jimmy Britt Talks
On the Prize Ring

sitting outside the ring cannot see
where blow strikes when the back of
one of the fighters is turned toward
him. He may see the blow started, but
he cannot possibly know whether it
lands fair or foul.
This situation, owing to the constant
moving of the boxers, may occur a
hundred times in the course of 20
round contest, and it is a temptation,
especially to a nearly beaten man, to
either try to disable his opponent by a
foul blow or to fall down and pretend
that he himself was struck unfairly.
This temptation does not present itself
when the eyes of the referee are con-
stantIy on the combatants, as is sure to
he the case when he is in the ring and
changing his position so as to keep the
arms of both men within his vision.
Another reason in favor of The inside
referee is that he is at all times able
to separate the men when holding and
