The signing Of the British-American pc
cuniary claims agreement marks the end
of prolonged negotiations. The last general
claims commission was convened in 1858.
Tt dealt with claims which had arisen since
1872 The Civil War claims were disposed
of in the 70s. The present negotiations
thus concern claims between the two gov
ernments dating before 1912 and with gem
eraI claims which have arisen since 1883.
In the general arbitration treaty between
the United States and Great Britain. which
was signed in April. 1908. a provision was
made that the treaty would not apply to
existing pecuniary claims. 1t is said to be
probable that the agreement when made

Contracts for the Omaha aviation meet,
to be held July 9-14 were signed Saturday
morning by the Nebraska Aero club and

The meet is to be in the charge of d

ager. The members of the committee are
J. j. Deright, Colonel Glassford, Gould
Dietz and 7. r.. Kimball.
Pledges of support from business houses
in Omaha are being made IN terms ample
to meet the heavy guarantee which has
been necessary to the, making OF the con-
tract with the aviators. The committee is
to make a canvass OF these business houses
next week.
The aviators who will come to Omaha
under the terms of the contract are Glenn
Curtiss Willard and Mars. These three

SONG.
The choice of site for the meet is vet

GEORGE ABE TELLS OF RULE
CHANGES IN HIS OWN WAY
Playwright Grows Facetious Over
GridirOn Rules and Fac
ulty Control.

NEW YORK, May 2s-The lively discus
sion Of the revision of the foot ball rules
has provoked George AIDE to the following
solution of the problem:
Selection Of players: The eleven players
constituting the team shall be selected by
the faculty and the student who has re-
ceived the highest grade In Greek antho-
logy shall be captain of the team. No
student shall be eligible for the team I'M
less he is up in his class work and has
an established reputation for plety.
Preliminaries: When team appears on
field for contest 1t shall greet the op-
posing team with the chautauqua salute,
which consists OF waving the handkerchief
After this a few friendly chats concern
ing books and writer's may precede the
opening of the game.
Substitute for the toss: Instead of tossing
coin to determine which side gets the
ball, the two captains shall be called upon
to extract the cube root of q number pro-
Yided by the professor of mathematics.
The captain who is the first to hand in
the correct solution gets the ball.
Advancing the ball: The ball having been
placed in the center of the field, the UNI
exhibits to the team having possession OF
the ball fossil. All members of the team
who think that they can name the geologi-
cal period on which the fossil belongs hold
up their right hand The umpire selects a
player to name the period. II he answers
correctly he advances the ball two yards.
Il, IN addition. he gives the scientific name
yards. II no member of the team can
answer the question propounded by the
umpire, the opposing team shall be given
q trial
Rotation OF umpres: After each touch
down there shall be a change of umpires,
so that the questions asked of team
may, In the course of long and ex-
citing game, cover the classwork in zoology
applied metaphysics, veterinary science,
Sanskrit, and other useful studies.
Offside play: Any player who makes q
grammatical error, mlspronounces a word
or seeks assistance from fellow student
shall be deemed guilty of an offslde play
and his side shall be penalized at least
five yards.
Substitute for kicking goal: After touch
down has been made the team making II
shall be credited with five points, and the
| captain of the team shall translate 6o(
words of Caesars commentaries If he
does so without an error his team is given
an additional point, the same as II a goa

match. His conduct in this respect is In
strong contract to that Of Johnson. who
has well learned his lesson Of holding him
self under control even under the most
exasperating circumstances. Raymond d.
Little has been considered as a member
Of the team with Wright, but among those
who have watched Little closely for the
last two seasons. the opinion is that the
best and wisest course will be to try
men, as Little is playing considerably be-
low the form he once displayed. Inded
there is a generally expressed belief that
a great mistake will be made IL Little is
included in the team and that IL he Is
selected, 1t will be more because Of past
glory than upon his skill at the present
time.
The Possible Players.
Tho American players eligible for the cup
team therefore narrow to Maurice r. Nc
Loughln and Melville H. Long tho two
youthful Californians, Who year ago,
did the heroes part by journeying to a
smothering defeat in far away Australia
after Larned, Clothier, Hackett, and Little
had disposed OF C. p. Dixon, w. C. Craw-
ley and Captain J. G. Parke, the British
Isle team, on the turf of the German
town Cricket club, Philadelphia. The two
Californians and Wright seem at the time
to be the program, with the possible nom
ination also of Wallace F. johnson or Ray
mond D. Little as the rules allow Of four
men constituting the team that may rep
resent a challenging nation. The two Cali
fornians under consideration WILL in a
short time, begin the round OF championship
and tournament play in the east, that leads
up to the Nationals at the Casino, at New
port, r. 1. From reports from the Pa
cifio coast both have greatly improved
since their sensational debut here a year
ago. Optimistic admirers predict that the
foremost eastern wielders of the racquet
are to receive a rude shock and surprise
which will end one of the Calfornians
holding the All-Comers National title. II
either Mclaughlin or Long can make good
on such predictions, then the plans that
are making for the American part of the
Davis cup matches cannot be improved
upon in any way,
The important feature Of the American
preparations is that the team of players

at Brighton Beach and the Atlanta races
are over the drivers are looking toward
Indianapolis. where the motor speedway
has come to be one of the dominant fac
tors IN automobile racing. In many ways
precedents have been established, and one
of the most notable is the refusal to offer
bonuses for noted drivers to appear. Not
withstanding this refusal, the best known
men have always ridden and will be seen
again this year. Valuable purses and
prizes have been offered, but no bonuses
OF any nature. The management says that
the bonus system is psrnicious. because
