Nebrask Holds
Speed Record
Battleship Named for Antelope State
Makes Best Showing in Trials
Off Cuba.

WASHINGTON March TO- = Admiral
Schroeder mas pleased the naval officials
by a report Of the recent fun power trials
OF the battleships, composing the Atlantic
fleet off Guantanamo. h remarkable
showing was mad$ that ships eleven years
old, like the wisconsin, were capable OF
exceeding their contract speed, which Is
regarded as a high testimonial Of the
efficiency of the engineer forces and the
care taken of the machinery,
The general statement is made that the
horsepower realised by the fleet exceeded
that DEVELOPED on the contractors trials,
although In the case OF the Guantanamo
trials the crew were regular navy men,
the ships were all loaded and long out
of dock and the crews were not specially
selected. Another significant fact is that
the ships are now ready for any kind Of
service Notwithstanding the severe test.
The Nebraska appears to hold the speed
record at 1911; the Virginia second with
l905, and the Georgia third Will 1905
knots per hour. The Vermont made the
lowest record with 1914 knots.

OMAHA MAN CHOSEN COACH
Ben ChsrringtOn Will Train Corn

SAVING MEN FOR OMAHA MEET
Small Delegations VIII He seat
by Board TO sioux City and
Kansas city Con-
tests.

LINCOLN. March IO-Cspecial )-Ben r,
C~herrington OF Omaha was today elected
by the University Of Nebraska athletic
board to coach the Cornhusker track candi-
dates for this spring. He took charge Of
the squad this afternoon and game them
two hours training out Of doors.
Cherrlngton coached the Omaha High
school track team last year and turned out
such a fast bunch that the Omaha lads won
the state meet with east. The new coach
is a Junior in the university. His selection
was made at the request Of a majority Of
the track candidates. 1. P. Hewitt. who
had been considered for the position, found
It impossible to accept the offer of the
Cornhusker board.
During the last few days the track men
nave been In training out Of doors for the
indoor meets at Omaha, Sioux City and
Kansas City. Even yesterday, during a
srowstorm, they sprinted along the paved
streets OF the city, trying to get into the
best form possible for the coming contests.
The Sioux City meet takes place Satur-
day. The Cornhuskers will not have a large
representation there. The athletic board
has decided to send only five or six men
to the Sioux City and Kansas City meets
in order to keep down expenses for those
meets and have most Of the track money
available for dispatching a team Of fifteen
men to the Omaha games on April 1.
Team for sioux City.
The men who will go to Sioux City Satur-
day are: Mcdonald, e~x-captain Of the Ne
brsska track team; Reed, speedy shirt dis
lance man; Funkhouser, weight HEAVIER;
Graham, vaulter and high jumper; Minor
and Burke. runners.
Mcdonald will be entered in the hurdle
races, and is regarded as a probable win
ner Of the short barrier run. He has been
in training for rwo weeks and should be in
fairly good condition. He holds both Of
the Nebraska records in the hurdle events.
Funkhouser is the freshman athlete who
defeated Sidney Collins, the star university
weight man, in the shot put on charter
day. He heaYed the iron ball over forty
four feet, He stands a good chance of get
ting a place in the Sioux City games.
Graham Is the leader in the pole vault,
He has done IL feet 2 inches in this event.
He also will be entered in the high jump,
Since the injury to Hummell, Graham has
been the best jumper on the C~ornhusker
team.
Reed and Minor will represent the Corn
huskers in the shorter races. Reed is the
faster of the two men, Nebraska's best
runners did not compete in the tryouts for
the meet because OF their school work.
Both Swanson and May are better short
distance men than Reed and Minor and
they will be ready to compete by the time
OF the Omaha games.
Nebraska's relay team at Sioux City on
Saturday viii be composed OF Mcdonald,
Reed, Burke and Minor. This team will be
nearly as strong as the quartet that won
first place for Nebraska In the Kansas
meet last spring, Unless Grinnell sends a
strong relay team TO the meet, Nebraska
ought to win first place.

DiBpelIed.

WASHINGTON. March 1o.-To settle any
remaining doubt Of the fate Of the tug
Nina, which foundered Off the Delaware
capes recently, the Navy department sent
the cruiser Birmingham from Norfolk to
Metomkin Inlet l~ife-saving station on the
Delaware coast to identify the small boat
picked up on the beach there. The Birm-
imam is now returning TO Norfolk with
the boat, which It is now certain belonged
to the Nina, and this is taken as final
proof Of the loss Of the tug, The next step
will be the issue Of a formal notice Of the
loss Of the vessel and the payment Of two
months full wages to the dependent rela-
tives Of the lost sailors Of the crew.

WASHINGTON, March 1o.-The senate
cost OF living committee yesterday exam
ined K. F. Hall, who conducts a local
grocery and meat market. He said the
biggest jump in meat prices he had ever
known was In the last two years, but gave
no comparative figures.
Mr.. Hall said he figured on q gross profit
Of 10 per cent, but was satisfied with a
net profit Of 8 per cent. This caused SEN
ator Smoot to inquire:
Then how is It you nave accumulated
$4,000 in fifteen years9"
The reply Of Mr., Hall was regarded by
the committee as somewhat evaslve, but
the point was not pressed.
Mr.. Hall said the Elgin creamery was
standard and that the butter price was
fixed az Elgin. He stated that It was a
trade supposition that a number OF manu-
facturers in Elgin get together and fix
the price of Elgin butter.
Prices Seventy Years Age.
Senator Lodge has discovered that there
was a time In the past when prices were
unusually high. The fact came to him
through the finding of an old document Of
the Twenty-fourth congress. 1t is a recon-
mendation by the secretary of the treasury
for an increase in the salaries OF clerks
and the senator today obtained from the
senate permission for the reprfhting of the
paper.
1t was accompanied by a private men,
orandum Of expenses, kept by a clerk,
which showed that the price of sugar was
IA cents a pound at that time; flour, IS a
barrel, and illuminating oil, 81 per gallon.
On the other hand, labor was paid only 70
cents a day.

want clean streets and a better city.
when you talk OF dirty streets, he said,
you can always have a fight IL I am
around, because no business men, M or
ganization, would go to the legislature
with us to rave a maximum appropriation
cities of our size have. II you want cleaner
streets and better municipal conditions,
you must provide the money. Our whole
appropriation could nave been spent in
three months this winter and then the
streets would not have been clean and
what would you do the other nine months.
The business people and the leading citi-
Gems Of Omaha must go to the legislature,
after electing the right kind of men, and
ask that the state constitution be amended
so tina Omaha can make it's own charter.
Then you can have your designs carried
out, but not until then"
