Death Tolls in Many States
During Hunting Season

Chicago. ILL.,. Dec. 2. - Eighty-siX
persons were killed and i'll injured
during the hunting season which closed
yesterday in fifteen states. The figures
were compiled by the Chicago Tribune,
which compares them with SO dead
and &c injured for last year and Ill
dead and 162 wounded for 1914.
Carelessness on the part of the
hunters accounted for many of the ac-
cidents. Many of the victims were
mistaken for deer. Michigan leads in
the number of dead with 22 Illinois
is second with 13, and Minnesota third
with II. New York had II fatal acci-
dents. Wisconsin had only 6. the small
number being attributed directly to
the buck" law in force last year,
which prohibited shooting at sounds"
The following shows the deaths by
states: California, 2: Colorado, 2; ILL
nois, IL; Indiana, 3; Iowa, 4; Maine,
L: Michigan, %; Minnesota, 12; Mis-
souri,, 2: New Hampshire, /; New
Jersey 4; New York, II: North Da-
kota, 2: South Dakota, l: Wisconsin, 6.

Big Nine Football For
Next Season to Be Fast

Chicago. ILL.,, Dec. 2.-Football dates
for the 1917 season of the Big Nine"
will be scheduled at meeting here to-
day of the coaches and athletic repre-
sentatives of the western conference
universities.
There is much speculation as to
what Ohio State, winner of the 1916
championship, and Northwestern, run
ner-up. will ask in the way of dates
for next season. Neither was seriously
regarded by the schedule makers last
season. Ohio State did not meet Chi
cago or Minnesota, while Northwest
ern had no game with either Wiscon-
sin or Minnesota.
Northwestern, however, will ask
games with Ohio State, Wisconsin,
Chicago. Purdue, Indiana and Iowa. 1t
is regarded as probable that Ohio State
will be given a game with Chicago and
that Northwestern will probably meet
Wisconsin. but not Minnesota.
In addition to the football schedule
the baseball, track and basketball pro-
grams for the 1917 season will be ar
ranged,

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 2. - President
Thomas y. Chivington, of the Ameri-
can Association, has issued a call for
the annual meeting of the association,
to be held in Indianapolis December 8.
The chief question to be placed before
the club owners is the election of a
president. There is reported to be op-
position to the reelection of Mr.. Chiv-
ington, and, although he said he would
be candidate to succeed himself, he
would not fight for the office. Norris

ARNIY-NAvY GAME DATE

New York, Dec. 2.-The Army Navy
football game will be staged at the
Polo Grounds next season on Saturday,
November "a, according to present
plans. Last year, when the game was
the subject of much controversy be-
tween Army and Navy officials, it was
suggested that thereafter the service
teams play in New York and Phila-
delphia in alternate years. According
to this Arrangement, the Navy would
next season choose Franklin Field. 1t
is understood, however, that the Navy
now is in favor of playing here next
year on account of the increased seat
ing capacity and excellent arrange
ments at the Polo Grounds. 1t is likely
that the two service elevens will decide
to play here every year.

While to-day's session of the ma

doors it was intimated that the new
contract does not contemplate the pre-
vention of any threatened strike OF
players, but does make changes of a
more or less technical character, pur-
posed to meet new conditions, arising
with the termination of the recent
baseball war. Persons in touch with
the situation expected that the re-
serve clause would be retained but
changed to suit the new conditions.

Go to Washington to Attend
Reopening 'Back-Haup Crses

Railroad Commissioners Bartine and
Shaughnessy leave tonight for Wash.
ington, D. c., to appear before the
Interstate Commerce commission at
the hearing set for the oath inst,
which is a reopening OF the intermoun-
tain cases. says the Carson Appeal.
These intermountain cases include
what Is popularity known as the Reno
case which was made up by the Ne
Vada commission and presented to the
Interstate Commerce commission sew
eral years ago. The Reno case was
subsequently merged in what are
known as the intermountain cases.
These are the Reno, Spokane, Phoenix
and Salt Lake cases. Instead Of rem
dering a decision in each of these
cases, the Interstate Commerce COM
mission undertook to dispose of the
matter by a couple of sweeping orders
which 1t was supposed would settle
the entire question. This course was
never satisfactory to the Nevada COM
mission and II entered its very earnest
protest against it. The evidence in
the Reno case conclusively proved that
Nevada points were entitled to rates
as good as those applied at the ter
mfnals, If not better, and the members
of our state commission have always
felt that a specific order should have
been made in the Reno case. The In
terstate Commerce commission, how
ever saw it differently and undertook
to cover the entire situation by two
sweeping orders.
The result to date is that the Ne.
vada commission has practically Sc
cured the elimination of about 20 per
cent of the obnoxious backhaul
charges. But there is still work to be
done. In October. 1914, hearing was
held at Chicago before Examiner
Elko independent. [volume] (Elko, Nev.) 1915-current, 1916-04-19

Thurtell. AS a result the previous
orders were modified in way, and
the railroads were granted some ad-
ditional concessions, mainly upon the
ground that water competition had
largely increased by reason OF the
completion of the Panama canal. At
that hearing evidence was given show
ing very large increase water ton
mage during the month OF September,
1914. The evidence was confined to
that single point. The Nevada rep
resentatives strongly insisted that one
month was not fair test. and that if
water competition were to be consid.
cred at all, which was stoutly denied,
the evidence should cover period of
several months or year, in order that
the commission might see just what
the force and effect of the water com.
petition was.
Since then the Panama canal has
seen no end of trouble. There has
been slide after slide and 1t has been
out OF business for months at time.
The case has now been reopened for
further consideration. The members
of the Nevada commission are firmly
of the belief that there should have
been no differential whatever in favor
OF the coast cities and against Nevada
points; that If there is any difference
tn IA ,.nfA h4
should be in favor of Nevada by rea,
son of the shorter haul. Commission,
ers Bartine and Shaughnessy are
loaded to the guards with data and the
people of this state may rely upon 1t
that they will make the strongest pos,
sible showing on behalf of Nevada in
terests. The commissioners expect to
be gone something more than two
weeks.
