State Golf Dates
Have Been Changed
Tourney to Be Held at the Field Club
in July Instead of Next
Month.

Directors of the golf program at the
Omaha Field club have decided on four
tournaments as the golf for the year In
the club championship series. The event
will be a handicap affair, the new auto
matte handicap rule going into effect In
two weeks.
The first Saturday in June the qualify
ing round for the club cup will be played
and the finishing rounds in this event will
be finished during that month Similar
play will be carried out in July for the
Directors trophy and the first Saturday
in August the play for the club champion
ship, the big event OF the season, will
start. The presidents trophy race will
take place starting the first Saturday in
September and will be the closing event
OF the year
Sixteen men will qualify in each event
and in all probability there will be some
kind of a consolation prize for each event
Because the proposed date of the Ne
braska State Golf tournament will seri-
ously interfere with other tournament
dates in Omaha In golf and tennis II is
proposed to move the time OF the tourney
from June Is. 20, 80 to July g. 6. I, g. The
Omaha Field club. where the event Is to be
held, and the Omaha Country club have
agreed on the later dates and the Miller
Park club has upofflcially sent in It's will
ingness to play then as well as the earlier
time.
Although the directors Of the Nebraska
State association do not wish to bring the
date of the state event any closer TO the
Transmississippi than is necessary, the
later date will be much better than earlier
in the month OF June. when there IL likely
TO be rain.

JUDGMENTS

NCOMPETENT umpiring Is more of
menace 10 the success OF base bail
than unruly players. Stringent rules
are provided whereby a contumacious
player may be disciplined and brought
under control but no recourse against an
Incompetent umpire is available. one team
OF the other. and only too frequently both
teams suffer from his presence. and the
game Is thereby the loser These truisms
tJspply exactly to the situation in omaha as
developed during the short stay OF Umpire
kneeland in the city No one questions his
honesty; that viii be admitted but his
eminent ignorance and his obtrusive trucu-
lence are equally in evidence and his total
unfitness TO preside over a game Of base
bah IL amply demonstrated. Omaha has al
ways been singularly free from the pest
Of umpire-baiting. In no other town OF inn
portance, where the base ball fever runs
az high as It does In Omaha. have the
visiting team and the umpire been habitu-
ally treated with more OF courteous con-
sideraton. This fact simply serves to
heighten the offense that Kneeland must
have given in order to provoke the usually
orderly patrons OF the game 20 the out
break that married the closing game with
Sioux City. All through his stay IN Omaha
Kneeland showed himself not only I'M
worthy OF the position in which he has been
placed by reason OF his lack OF judicial fit
,shess but also by his apparent pugnacity.
which was mainly directed against the
players OF the home team 40 the crown
ing act OF his career Of Incompetence did
not come as so much OF a surprise. No
excuse will be offered for the conduct OF
Anderson and King. but their offense IL
palllated by the intensity Of the provoca-
ton. II lie very hard for even trained ath-
letea TO Withstand forsveF thu strain Of
an umpirss stupidity, aud tha players who
arc fault would have beefi- mOFs than hu-
man had they not resented this unjust
and absolutely wrong decision given By
Knasland IN some manner, They will be
punished, for the rules must be enforced,
but the weakness OF base ball Is shown
In tina condition that provides no PaHish-
mSnt for the umpire, who In this aass

ed by the largest number Of mourners
and friends that have ever attended

who was one of the few remaining
brigadiers of the Confederacy. and
honorary commanderin-chief Of the
United Confederate Veterans, was laid
to rest in Greenwood cemtery In this
city this afternoon. The panopiy OF
a military funeral made the service
the most impressive Of the kind ever
held in Dallas. It is estimated that
between $4,000 and 10000 people saw
the funeral procession or attended the
services. The line Of march extended
more than two miles. Cross streets
were blocked and the procession
moved throughout the entire distance
between solid lines Of humanity.

for the association to gather here on

time several important measures will

That the Louisville and Nashville

the present line from Brentwood to

The cut at Dodsons gap, which is

1t is not believed that the recent de

PENALTY ACCRUES ON
STATE AND COUNTY
TAXES MARCH FIRST
COLLECTIONS THIS YEAR HAVE
BEEN UNUSUALLY GOOD
80 FAR.
NEXT TUESDAY IS LAST AY
Total Of $4,000 10 Three thousand
More Than last Year-Extra A.
sessment 10 One Per Cent With
Small Amount Of Interest.

With the ending Of this month, the
penalty for 1910 taxes accrues In
Maury county. The collections for
February have been unusually good,
but there are still several thousand
dollars due. The total tax ON the as
sessed valuation Of property In this
county 10 $4,000, in round figures,
an increase Of $1,000 over the amount
assessed in 1903.
At this time last year there were
about $4,000 in unpaid taxes for this
county, and 1t is probable that that
figure would be very close to the
amount due on the 1910 assessment.
On March 1, the Trustee is authorized
by law to put an extra assessment on
all unpaid taxes. This penalty Is one
per cent per month, and one-half per
cent interest. with 25 cents additional
on poll taxes. This will make 1910
poll taxes which are not paid until
March / $2.25 instead of 50.
Most of the larger taxpayers, such
as the l.. & N. Railroad and several
large phosphate corporations, always
wait until the last month to pay theii
taxes in order to get the benefit Of
the use of their money as long as pos
sible 1t is altogether likely that the
delinquent taxes this year will be less
than ever before.
A large number of taxpayers can bt
found in Trustee McFall's Office a.

days of February, and the people gen
orally throughout the county seem t
be in a hurry to get them all rid up
