GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Feb. S.-(Spe-

tation extended tc the base ball enthusi-
asts of the various Nebraska cities indicate
that at least a six-club league can be
formed, including at least three Of the
larger cities of the state not represented
in the Western league. Delegates will be
present from Fremont, Hastings, Grand
Island, Superior, Red Cloud and Seward.
Granting that the matter Of forfeit such

Of these, there would be four teams in
the central and two in the eastern part of
the state. Mr.. Palmer of Fremont, however,
will endeavor to secure the attendance Of
delegates from Columbus or South Omaha,
in order that there will be three towns with
Sunday ball. Fairbury is also a possibility,
though nothing has so far been heard from
that team.
One more western town-Kearney, the
only good western point showing q back

to conflict with the Western league dates

rather than otherwise. Hastings has al

tuition will be made and agreed upon at

conference with the senators the conclusion
was reached that the man best qualified
to assume the cares OF the office as chair

time was Mr. Ellis, and therefore the presi-
dent was asked to consent to Mr.. Ellis
resignation from his position as assistant
to the attorney general to take the duties
Of the craftsmanship of the committee.
eth president was very loath to lose
the services of MI. Ellis in the Department
Of Justice, where he is engaged in import

make the sacrifice the president did not
feel that he could insist on retaining him. 4"
It was stated at the White House tonight
that Mr.. Ellis, despite his resignation, will
continue to represent the government in its
prosecution OF the beef trust.
Mr.. Ellis has had this matter in hand
and is 30 thoroughly Identified with the at

carry It through. Mr.. Ellis has decided to
do this.
In q statement issued tonight Mr.. Ellis
says he wants II clearly understood hat
his resignation does not mean that he
desires OF expects to be a candidate for
any office whatever. either now or later,
