commission in an address today to the
tWenty-sixth annual meeting OF the

Meyer as the possible final outcome OF

Even that, he said, would not put an

that he wished it understood that he

1.-The Kaleidoscope nature of the
facts which enter into a particular
rate problem will always, probably,
defeat every attempt to impose a uni

United States said Mr.. Meyer. 1T
Is, however, more important that JUS

some specific standard be promul-

''The most important single factor
is the fair or final value which we
hope will be known in the not distant
future. Outstanding securities against
the property should not receive any
consideration in the establishment of
use Of the property.
Cost of the service is an important
factor but it is a fact OF common

Lincoln. Neb., Dec. 29.-The UNI

Kansas-Nebraska football game at

Reed, of the Nebraska institution,
from Manager Hamilton, of the Jay
hawker school. The Kansas contest
Is the third largest in the remunera-
ton end of the seasons football bat
ties at the Cornhusker school. Minne-
sofa and Iowa elevens bringing more
funds into the Nebraska treasury.
Never before in the history of the
athletic contests of the two schools
has a Kansas-Nebraska game yielded
such a large sum, and Hamilton in his
letter to Reed. in which he forwarded
his account, said that the game was
$4,000 larger in receipts than any 9TH
er game ever played on McCook field
at Lawrence. and the crowd was by
far the largest of any ever seen there.
The total paid attendance at the
game was 6,f00, of which 1850 was
made up of students, according to
Hamilton's statement.
Manager Reed announced at the
close of the season that he expected
the total receipts for the Cornhusker rs
would amount to close to $50 900, and
the regular season. a snug sum will be
laid away in the Cornhusker treasury
to help out the other branches Of
athletics at the Nebraska school,
which year after year show a deficit.
Alumni Of the Nebraska school, and
there are many Of them. have opposed
the staging of an annual contest with
the Jayhawkers, owing to the constant
friction which has arisen In recent
years over the selection of officials,
and this year because of the Ross con-
troversy, in which Kansas fax ored the
drawing Of the color line. They will
be forced to admit in the face Of the
financial statement that the Jayhawk-
er contest is an advantageous one.

Tinker was the property of the Gin
cinnau club when August Hermann
sold him to Brooklyn. There IL no doubt
about that, because when Tinker signed
his 1913 contract with Cincinnati he
gave Cincinnati an option for his SER

option by virtue OF the deal which Pres
