School Agrees.

LINCOLN, Neb. Jan. 3-(Special.)-
Coach Ewald o. Suehm returned Wednes-
day afternoon from Wisconsin, where he
spent the Christmas holdays. bringing
with him the assurances OF game with
Wisconsin on the gridiron next fall.
Stiehm. upon whose shoulders falls the
task of arranging the schedule for next
season, held a conference with the Wis
consin authorities and received definite
assurance that the Badgers would meet
the Cornhuskers on the gridiron next faiI.
The Nebraska coach was given to under
stand that Nebraska could have the
choice of two dates still open on the Wis
consin schedule and stiehm will in the
near future close arrangements for
game with his alma mater.
The Nebraska coach is busy arranging
the Cornhusker schedule, which he will
probably be prepared to make public
within a few days as to the big games
for 1912.
To Drop Minnesota.
The scheduling of a game with the
Badgers probably means that Nebraska
will drop Minnesota from its schedule for
next fell. The Cornhuskers wish to play
Minnesota in Lincoln, but the Gophers
are not anxious to come south. Ihey
have played in Nebraska only twice dur
ling the last eleven years, one game being
in Lincoln and one in Omaha. The Corn
lhusker management feels that the Mime
sofa team should rotate the annual con-
test. Coach Harry Williams fears to meet
the Cornhuskers on the Lincoln field,
however, and it is considered probable
that the annual game will not, be played
next fall. The members OF the board OF
control at Nebraska are opposed to play
ling Minnesota at Minneapolis next fall.
II contract is signed with Wisconsin
it probably win call for two games dur
ing the next two years, one TO be played
in Madison and the other in Lincoln The
Cornhuskers are certain of playing Michi-
gan next fall at Ann Arbor. The Yost
crew is anxious to get another game with
: Nebraska, for they feel that they should
have revenge for that near-beating they
received at Lincoln last November.

MAY NOT TAKE ACTION
ON STREET CAR ACCIDENT
Report of Secretary Eddy Is
Now Before Electric Rail-
way Commission.

Official action may never be taken by
the District electric railway commission
as a consequence Of the accident on II
street near 18th to three cars of the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany Saturday before last In which a
score of persons were injured.
John III. Marble. chairman of the COM
mission. said this morning that the report
Of the accident made by Secretary Eddy,
who happened to be on one of the cars
at the time, is before the commission and
that while he, therefore, cannot forecast
what decision the commission will come
to In regard to it, 1t would seem from a
preliminary inspection Of Mr.. Eddys re-
port that the accident was an ordinary
one. calling for no corrective measures
and resulting from combination of cir
cumstances, green motormen, slippery
tracks and wet leaves in the way of the
car wheels.
1t did not seem likely, Mr.. Marble
said. that it would be necessary to
bring the report to the attention of
the interstate commerce commission, al
though he could not tell just what ac-
tion the District commission would take
at its next meeting, Thursday.
To Take Trailers Off.
1t was stated at the office of the
commission today that the trailers on
the Georgetown Of streeD line of the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany will be taken off soon after Janu-
airy 1. and that sixty-five new pay-as-
yOu-enter cars of the side-door type
are now being completed to take the
place of the trailers.
The trailerS were ordered discontinued
by the commission some time ago, but
an extension of six months before the
order should go into effect was granted
the railway company after the fire at
its car barn. in which so much rolling
stock was destroyed that it was neces-
sary to continue to use the trailers in
order to haul passengers. The railway
company is paying 100000 for the
sixty-five new side-dOor cars, several
of which are now being used on the
line.

TREASURY WANTS A MONKEY.
Needed for Experiments in Crusade
on Infantile Paralysis.

The United States Treasury Depart
ment wants to buy monkey.
For several days the government has
been making a fruitless effort to pro-
cure any kind of a monkey. however
common, to be used by the public health
service for experiment in its crusade
against infantile paralysis, which al
ready has established the fact that the
ordinary stable fly is a carrier of the
disease. Thu ee monkeys thus inoculated
have died and one more is necessary to
complete the study.
The difficulty in obtaining it has led
Treasury officials to the conclusion that
monkeys are scarce.

BEES HAVE BUSY TIME
At THE mum" EXHIBIT
Flowers Make a Fine Showing
and Are Admired by
Many Visitors.

Honey bees stirred from their autumn
lethargy to read The Sunday Star, found
matter therein of pertinent interest to
their business of making honey. shifted
the air and found confirmation of the
news in the perfume-laden breeze. preen-
ed their gossamer wings and took to
flight They were the first visitors today
at the mum show in the Agricultural
Department greenhouses.
Early corners of the human kind found
an army of them busy at work gathering
the sweet pollen from the great Japanese
blooms and from the little pompons and
singles. They must, indeed. have read
about 1t in The Sunday Star, for their
absence from the scene Friday and Sat
urday. when the NUNS had already
taken their places, is proof positive that
they knew nothing then concerning the
late crop of honey-sweet.
The gardeners call them chrysanthe-
mum flies when they hover over these
flowers. The mum is the only fall
flower that tempts them from their warm
beds in the apiaries.
Attendance Is Large.
The NUNS made Drawer show this
morning when the doors of the green
house were opened to the public at 3
O. clock, than they did when set in place
for inspection last week. Many of them
had opened wider, their coloring was
deeper and richer and the structure of
the petals more perfect. There will be
daily improvement, for some are still
backward.
The number of morning visitors more
than favorably compared with the at
tendance Of former years. After noon the
callers came SO quickly that the green
house was. taxed to hold them all, and
many had to wait to enter.

Advises Sobriety.

Rev. Simon P. w. Drew, pastor of the
Cosmopolitan Baptist Church. advised his
auditors to abstain from spurious liquors.
One of the chief causes the spread Of
the disease among both white and colored
people today, he declared, was because
they spent so much of their time in
drink and debauchery." He also declared
that many are first afflicted with the dis
ease through becoming overheated at
dances or similar functions and tnen
passing out into very cold air.
