ball table.
Iowa, az a member Of the Chicago CON
ference, Is prohibited from maintaining a
table, and ever since Il Joined the Mis-
souri, valley conference II has been seek
ing to get the smaller body to conform to
all the rules and laws Of the older body.
II Is understood in local athletic circles
that the Hawkeye school Joined the Mis-
souri, valley league for the purpose Of max
ing the schools In this section conform to
all the rules Iowa does as a member Of the
big Eight" The Hakeyes, while they are
compelled to obey the strict rules of the
older body, think the other schools outside
that league ought to meet It on equal
eligibility terms.
The two conference bodies are now gov
erned, In fact, by practically the same
rules, the training table being the only i'm
portant institution that is not allowed the
big Eight schools. The training table,
however, Is an important element In build
ing up a gridiron eleven, and Nebraska is
reluctant to let It go. 1t is the training
table question that Is keeping Michigan
from going back into the big Eight just
now. That was the thing, too, which led
Michigan to break with the Chicago con-
ference.

agency who will act as guards at the
Homestuke mine, where a strike is now on,
Charles H. Meyer, president Of the West
ern Federation of Miners, left Denver last
night for Lead, S. d.
The guards, who had been hastily gath.
cred from all parts Of the west, were in
charge of Robert Boykin. Many OF them
were on duty at the time of the Cripple
Creek riots a few years ago and the reason
for their hasty departure for Lead is said
to be fear on the part of the mine owners
that there would be a repetition Of that

New Light Thrown
on Shooting Up
of Brownsville
Witnesses Testify that Army Officers
Knew that Negro Soldiers
Were the Offenders.

BROWNSVILLE, Tex, Dec. New
light was thrown on the Brownsville raid
by the court of inquiry in its session today
and a number of heretofore undeveloped
points were brought out, Some of which
are claimed to be detrimental to the cause
of the negro soldiers charged with shoot
ing up the town"
Celso Olivier, a former policeman, and
Manual Morales, formerly a tailor at the
post, were the principal witnesses. Olivier
testified he saw Captain Macklin, who
he knew well, picking up scattered cart
ridge shells the morning after the raid. At
the former inquiry Captain Macklin testi-
fled the shells we're found in one place, it
being alleged they were placed there by
citizens I'm support of a conspiracy theory.
Morales told of a conversation he had
with a negro soldier after the raid, in
which the soldier said he waSsorry a Mex
lean had been wounded, as the Americans
were the only ones the negro troops were
Among the other witnesses was
Joseph X. Powers of San Antonio, for
merly keeper Of the National cemetery at
Fort Brown. Powers said he had a con-
versation with Major Penrose following
the shooting, quoting the latter as saying
he would rather ave lost his right arm
than to nave had his men do the shooting,
and he would give a years pay to know
which soldier did 1t.
Thai the officers know who did the
shooting, was testified to in addition to the
above witnesses, by Mrs. Kate Leahy, who
said Lieutenant Greer told her the officers
recognized the reports of the ~high-power
rifles, but were afraid to leave their fami-
lies to investigate, believing that the sol
diers were fighting among themselves, as
on previous occasions.

ROW ON AGAIN OVER TABLE
AbsOlution Of Special Grub by Con-

SOME TALK OF WITHDRAWING
Nebrasksns Charge Matter was
Rushed Through Before Arrival OF
Kansas Representative, whose
Train Was Late.

LINCOLN, Dec. 1-CspeciaI)-Members OF
the Nebraska Athletic board are completely
Disguised with the attitude that certain
Missouri valley conference representative
took on the foot ball training table at the
annual meeting of the big Seven" dele
gates In Des Moines last Saturday.
At that meeting II was voted, 4 to 2, to
abolish the training table. Nebraska and
Missouri voting in the negative and Kan
sas not being represented. This fact is not
generally known and has not been published
by the western press.
II was only a year ago that the same
members Of the conference took the same
action, and the training table would have
been lost to the Big Seven but for the
later action of Nebraska. Kansas and Mis-
souri,, who united and brought the matter
up for a second vote, which esulted in
keeping the table.
The members OF the Nebraska board de-
clare that IL was little short Of an insult
for Iowa and the three other schools to
force the training table question to an issue
again. It was settled last year, argue the
C~ornhusker mentors, and it should have
been left undisturbed.
IOwan Ruahes the Question,
The manner in which the Iowa repre-
sentative rushed the question before the
conference has made the Cornhuskers mad.
On Saturday, when this matter was brought
~. there were only six Of the seven schools
represented. Prof, McClung Of the Univer-
sity Of Kansas was on his way TO the
meeting, but his train was very late. Prof.
McClung, had he been present, would have
cast his vote in favor Of retaining the train
ing table.
The Iowa representative was aware of
this and moved, as soon as the meeting
was opened. to consider the foot ball train
ing table among the first business. This
was done, and, with Iowa, Ames, Drake
and Washington voting to abolish the table,
Nebraska and Missouri were not enough
to keep the table from going. A rule Of the
conference requires a two-thirds vote to
pass a measure. Had Prof. McClung been
present, the vote would have been to 3,
and the table would have been retained.
Prof. McClung declared he would have
voted for saving the training table, and
said that he would bring the matter up
before the next meeting of the conference.
He will be able to do this, for a conference
permits any member of the conference to
reject any measure within sixty days after
it has been passed. By doing this a school
brings the measure vi for a second vote,
and then, II 1t receives two-thlrds of the
votes, It becomes a rule of the big Seven"
In the voting last year Kansas rejected
the action of the conference in abolishing
the table, and in the second vote Ne
braska, Missouri and Kansas voted to keep
the institution.
When the second vote Is taken on the
question this year these three schools will
stand together again and the table will be
kept for another year.

 New York, Oct. 15.-Prices of stceks today continued the vigorous recovery which set in yesterday. Cn-ss5 States Steel was the donin- aL. leader cf he specu'ation and it's i4aid advance set the tone for the whole market.
 Of scarcely lesa influence on sen timent was the new prominence as. sumed by St. Paul, Amalgamated Copper, Union Pacific, which are sup t,osad to be the favosftes in specula. tive mediums of the Standard Oil pary
 The movement in these stocks had '.he effect of quieting an apprehension pTofessad by an element oaf the spec ulation that the Morgan movement Tn the market iid not have the support aiii' approval of the Standard oil party.
 such considerations were given weight by the professional element. which was an important factor in the days market by reason of the encrm- om individual transactions by several active traders. The concurrent re- vival of strength in Reading was an important addition to the favoring in- flnence.
 The M., K. & T. absorption helped the stocks of the companies affected and induced some credence for re- ports of other railroad deals.
 News of another damaging stcrm in the South was not helpful 10 the market, sealizlng sales deducted something from the days gross gains but there were new points of strength in the late market.
