drafted and will be made wnen work on
the construction again starts.
Another change In the original plans
has been made. 1t was first decided to
build half length grandstand for the
opening race and enlarge II II necessary.
But the confidence OF Richard Kenner-
dell. the American Automobile associa-
ton head, who declares the Omaha track
win be one OF the most spectacular in
the country. has prompted the manage
ment to build full length grandstand,
capable OF holding many Thousand people.
Also. the stands will be built up within
eighteen feet OF the track. II was first
planned to build them back forty feet.
But stands 30 far back would impair the
view OF spectators toward cars which
enter the first turn. while at eighteen
feet the view win DO perfect. Strong
guard rails OF steel will circle the outside
of the track. so that a car cannot plunge
, off the track into the stands.
The work on the dyklng az the west
side Of the track has been completed.
S. that no high waters In Carter lake can
seep through under the construction.

their finding as followsi @
Comparison Unnecessary.
The committee deems unnecessary to
comment on the comparison of these two

II admits for no discussion. II estab-
fishes without any doubts whatever the
superiority of NJ. McLoughlln's record
over that of Mr.. Williams. and the for
mer has therefore been awarded first
place"
The committee recommends that the
national association pass a rule that in
coming years the national champion be
arbitrarily rated No. Il, and that the rule
be made clear as to whether or not Davis

CLUB HOUSE FOR GUN CLUB
New Omaha Gun Club Planning Ex-
tensive Improvements for 1915.
WILL BID FOR TOURNAMENTS
Also Probable that Many Inter-City
shoots Such as COlumbus-Omaha
Event Will he Held Here 30
Next Year.

The erection of a new club house, re-
plete with all the comfort and luxuries
which a first class trap shooter should
enjoy, Is the plan of the new Omaha Gun
club. The club house will be started this
spring so that when the shooting season
opens in 1915. the Omaha club can boast
Of one of the best club houses in the
country.
The new Omaha Gun club is more or
less of an infant organization. but its
members are live ones and they expect
TO make Omaha one of the best trap
shooting centers in the country. The old
Omaha Gun club broke UP about a year
ago and the grounds across the river
were abandoned.
Form a Real Club.
But Ray Kingsley. Don McCown, Art
Keeline and bunch Of other shooters
put their heads together last summer,
formed the new Omaha Gun club, took
over the old grounds and are making a
real club out of 1t.
At first only one trap was installed,
but the first squad of members was so
large that another trap was installed last
week. Probably before the 1918 season
opens more traps will be built so that any
number may shoot without delays.
4
There are now about 100 members in
the club. Some are expert shooters, but
many are as yet novices at the game.
The club members are encouraging the
sport among those who are not marks
men, and every attention is given to
those who are anxious to learn. That
spirit will bring many into the organiza :
ton. and 1t Is expected that the mem
bership will advance rapidly during sub
! sequent seasons.
Bid for Tournaments.
Omaha will make a strong bid for shoot
ing tournaments in the future. With two
! gun clubs here, the Omaha club and the
Carter Lake Gun club. both OF which are
recognized as first-class clubs, Omaha
4 will be accorded considerable prestige.
While the Western Handicap was lost to
Omaha, the shooters are not downcast
| but will renew their energies next year.
The success of the Omaha-Columbus
inter-city shoot q week ago, when the
! trappers faced zero weather to indulge
| in their favoTite pastime. has prompted
the officers of the club to promote sew
( eraI such inter-city shoots next year. II
is probable that a dozen Of such will be
held here and at other places next year
! With the new Omaha club expending
such efforts. as well as the Carter Lake
club, Omaha is bound to occupy a goodly
portion Of the trap shooting calcium next
year.

Campaign for
Associated Charities

A canvass and campaign to secure
members for the Associated Charities of
Waterville is to be started next week.
The membership committee of the asso-
citation has secured the services of Miss
Cora c. Dow, who is well known in this
city as one of the public school teachers,
but who has been obliged to give up her
school work time on account of i'll
health.
Miss Dow will call upon persons during
the month of May in the endeavor to
place upon the membership rolls of the
Associated Charities as many names as
possible
The classes of membership are two,
sustaining and annual. sustaining
member is one who pays to the society
at least five dollars per year and an an
nual member pays a fee of one dollar.
Each member will be issued card indi-
eating membership.
The Associated Charities of Waterville
is new organization, having come into
existence the first of the present year.
Its objects are to federate the chari-
table work Of the city without in he
least way interfering with the work of
organizations now doing that sort of
work. The need of funds to such an or
ganization is apparent. There is SMALL
expense attached to the administration of
its affairs and the officers desire to have
fund at their command from which
needy cases can be helped and suffering
lessened.
How much can be accomplished among
the needy of this city in the next years
depends to a great extent upon the way
people of the city respond to the appeal
for membership now to be made. Miss
BOWS visit will give all chance to aid
in relieving distress when 1T Is found in
this city.
The progress of the canvass will be
noted day by day. Watch the list grow.

NordiCa' S Husband
Anxiously Waiting

New York, May George w.
Young, a banker of this city, is anx-
iously awaiting further news today of
the condition of his wife, Mrs. Lillian
Nordica, the prima donna, who is
critically i'll in Batavia, Java.
The first news of the singers re-
lapse came to Mr.. Young on Wednes-
day in a cable dispatch from E.. r.
Simmons, Nine. Nordica's accompa-
mist, who has been with her on this
trip. The cable said:
Have postponed departure. Nine.
Nordica's condition serious. Physi-
clans in consultation. Very anxious.
Yesterday he received another cable
message from Mr.. Simmons that Nine
Nordica was sinking rapidly and that
the physicians held out little hope,
Press dispatches confirmed this bad
news.
Mr.. Young sent several cable in
quiries during the night but thus for
has been unable to get further inform
alton.
When Nine. Nordica's tour of the
world was interrupted by her illness,
following the wreck of the steamer
Tasmania on which she was a pas
senger, she was saying farewell to her
musical career. At the conclusion of
the tour she had determined to retire
with a series of concerts in this coun-
try.
With Nine. Nordica are Mrs. Ada
Baldwin, her cousin; Franklin Hardin,
vielinist, and Mr.. Simmons.

San Diego, Cal, May 1.-Driven
from their homes by an anti-Aneri-
can outbreak, the result of the land
ing Of American marines at Vera
Cruz. 259 refugees from Mexico
reached here today on board the Ger
man steamer Marie, which left the
Mexican port of Manzanillo April 20
The majority of the refugees are
from Guadalajara anud tributary ter
ritory, the others coming from Cola
ma and Manzanillo. The feeling was
so intense that the majority of the
refugees from Guadalajara were fore
ed to seek the protection of the Brit
ish consulate offices in those cities.
Anti American demonstrations were
held at frequent intervals. the Mexi
can press was given owed to the most
alarming reports, insults were hurled
at Americans in the streets and
threats of wholesale assassination
Were made.
While refugees from Guadalajara
were at the wharf, a vessel thought
to be an American warship was
sighted. Great excitement resulted
and a Mexican wearing a Red Cross
badge rushed into the American con-
sulate, tore from the walls two large
American flags and carried them out

If the refugee train had come direct
TO Vera Cruz, but they dreaded the
roundabout journey to Puerto Mexico.
A few of those on board the Hancock
reported they previously had made
their way to Soledad only to be turn
ed back by the Federal general Mas.
1t was officially announced today that
the Monterey will be the last refugee
boa from Vera Cruz. None of the ref
ugees We're permitted to come ashore
today and none of those on shore were
allowed to go on board unless they
intended to sail on the Monterey.
Many of those on board the vessel
had members of their families waiting
for them on shore here. Nelson
O'Shaughnessy, the American charge
d'affaires, and his family. and Charles
Parker and Mrs. Parker left here to-
night on board the United States navy
tender Kankton for Galveston. Mr..
Parker was clerk in the embassy at
Mexico City.
