COURTS TO rule UPON
TRACTION REGULATION
Controversy Over Jurisdiction Not Set
tied at Transfer Hearing.

The courts will eventually be called
upon TO determine what public service
body has Jurisdiction over the question
OF the right of traction companies to
discontinue transfer privileges at Thirty
sfxth and NJ streets northwest.
At the hearing before the Public
Utilities Commission yesterday, the
Washington and Old Dominion railway
questioned the right Of the Commission
70 consider protests against the discon-
tinuation OF the transfer service, main
tanning that II was an interstate carrier
and as such amenable only to regulation
BY the Interstate Commerce Commission.
A protest to the Interstate Commerce
Commission last week developed an
objection from the Capitol Traction Com
pany, which contended that, being an
urban railroad, 1t was not subject to
the rules and authority Of the Federal
body for the regulation Of interstate
traffic.
Corporation Counsel syme suggested
that the problem would be solved
definitely by the imposition of a nne on
the Washington and Old Dominion Rail-
way. upon which an appeal might be
taken and an opinion given by the courts.
The Commission took the question under
advisement.

10 all Of the District guardsmen to see

Pennsylvania avenue northwest to the
park headed by the band, then to the
rear Of the field and across the diamond
to the grand stand. Their cheering was a
big factory in the Washington victory.
Once the game had to be stopped be-
cause of the racket raised by the big
drums Of the soldiers.

cause OF Il being their day for guard

BRITAIN'S TRADE WAR
PLANS INCLUDE CHINA

Great Britatn's plans for the trade war
when peace comes contemplate the ex-
tension upon still broader lines of her
tremendous commercial power in China
Recent steps in this direction are re-
garded by the State Department as high
ly significant, coming on the heels OF
semi-oficial advices as to Japan's pur-
poses to gain a controlling hand in the
Celestial empire, particularly Manchuria.
Officials here are said to be convinced
that England in further strengthening
her domination commercially over the
Chinese empire, has been fully acquaint-
ed with the recent moves Of her Nippon
ese ally, in demands, which now all re-
ports agree the Chinese government has

FEW TURN OUT TO
SEE HOUND RACES
Scant Hundred or So Attend
Coursing Events, Which Are
Somewhat Disappointing.
ONLY TWO FAvoRITEs LOSE

A scant hundred or so persons
turned out for the third day of the
second Omaha coursing meet at the
Douglas county fair grounds yester-
day, and most OF them were more or
less disappointed.
In the first place, the All Age stake
was scheduled to start yesterday. But
for some reason or other the start of
this event was postponed until today
and the puppies were raced again yes
terday.
The meet was slow and only the
first and second rounds were run off.
Many bad rabbits were turned loose,
with the result that several times
three rabbits were turned loose before
the dogs were released from the slip,
Two Favorites Lose.
Only twice were favorites beaten
and the wise betters reaped harvest.
In the second round Pete Baden de-
feated Fashion Model after racing one
tie, with the odds running 10 to 7 and
3 to 2 on Fashion Model King Hare
won from Boney Jim in the second
round, with the odds on Boney Jim.
The boys who got on the short end of
these bets cleaned up,
As on Thursday, only one rabbit
managed to make his escape. One
other rabbit almost skipped through
the escape, but was driven out by the
pursuing hounds.
Today the scmi-final and final
rounds OF the puppy stake started yes
terday will be run and the All Age
stake started Twenty-four dogs, in
GLIDING Grace Rockwell, Mr.. Cannon

squad of twenty-five players from the
Ames Agricultural college, arrived in
Lincoln tonight for the game with the
Huskers Saturday afternoon, which
will determine the Missouri Valley
conference title. .s,
While Mayser is very careful in his
statement, confidence is trimming out
all over the Aggies and they plan to
take Nebraska's measure. The Husk-

morrow three pounds to man, The
Ibwans have an advantage of nine
bounds per man in the line, while the
Husker backfield averages six pounds
heavier per man.

students is due to reach Lincoln early
in the morning and big crowd is ex-
pected at the game.

ARMY AND NOTRE
DAME TO MEET
West Point Faces Formidable
Indiana Eleven and Hot
Battle Expected.
COLGATE TO ENGAGE YALE

New York, Nov. 3.--With few ex-
ceptions, the more important eastern
college foot ball teams, face compare
lively easy games tomorrow and de-
feat, with their big contests only a
week or two away, would be the most
sensational form upset of the season.
Among the leading elevens the, Army
and Navy teams appear to have the
most dangerous opponents Of the day.
The Army will figure in the one
intersectiohal game, meeting Notre
Dame. While West Point is admitted
to be stronger than a year ago, the
Indiana collegians have not aban-
doned hope of repeating the victory
Of last season, and reports indicate
that the team is fully as formidab
as twelve months ago. The cadets,
however, have piled up an impress
'sive record themselves and the con-
test at West Point should be one of
the best in this section tomorrow.
The Navy faces the Washington
and Lee eleven, which the Army de.
feated October 7, by score OF IA
to-. All three combinations invor
in this triangle have improved consid-
erably since early season.
Colgate at Yale.
Colgate will go to New Haven l.
an attempt toirepeat its 1915 victory
over the Blue, but the New York
state team will find Yale an entirely
different proposition from that of
year ago.
Both teams have shown that they
are above the, ordinary this season
Neither has been defeated and while
they have not met mutual oppon-
ent, an analysis of their records leads
to the opinion among foot ball fol-
lowers that Yale is likely to triumph
by narrow margin.
Princeton and Pennsylvania have
drawn comparatively weak opponents
and each eleven should come through
to victory. The Tigers will be op-
posed by Bucknell. Lafayette will
face Pennsylvania and there is moth
ing in the record of the eleven which
would indicate that the Quakers will
be forced hard to score victory.
Crimson Meets Virginia.
Much interest will attach to the
Harvard-Virginia game in view of
the fact that Yale defeated the south

Does Great Work.
Moriarity is undoubtedly one Of the
best men that has ever played on the
local gridiron and the Omaha plays
were built up, around him.

"The charge that am not the author Of the
Bank Guaranty Law is absolutely false. The
Guaranty provisions of the 1909 banking law are
Identical almost word for word, with the same
provisions Of H. R. 81, prepared and introduced
by me at the beginning Of the 1909 session Of the
legislature, and were taken bodily therefrom"
He says further: "The state-made railway
rates were lost through the failure Of the railway
commission to make an official valuation of the
