WATERLOO FANS BITTER.
Continued Defeat OF bigh School
EIevens Calls For Explanation.

Elevens Calls For Explanation.
Waterloo. oct. 24.-4chances are
about ten to one that the members OF
the football squads of East and West
high will get just about the stfnest
workouts they have received this year
during the next four days. Nothing
viii stop. the coaches from sending
their men thru gruelling scrimmages
lasting from three to four hours every
day of the week. The mentors will not
only be printing them for this weeks
battles which are scheduled for Satur-
day, but they will be trying to inf1ict
upon them a little punishment for the
loss OF three straight games.
Both teams have been defeated the
last three Saturdays. West high
dropped games to West Des Moines'
Dubuque and Marshalltown, while
East high has been decisively beaten
by East Des Moines, Iowa Falls and
Dubuque.
West high had an alibi for the Du-
buuue loss-that Of incompetent offi-
c,ais. but no excuse can be made for
their trouncing by Marshalltown last
week. East high while green team.
should not be allowed to escape with
out a bawling out. It Is admitted that
the Orange and Black eleven is weak,
but that gives it no reason for being
defeated by scores OF "a to 0. ~ to
and AZ to g. There is something radi-
cally wrong with a team that Is
wallowea in the dust three consecutive
games as the Eas: high team; has been.
Supporters and alumni Of the two
schools are beginning to ask What IS
the matter?' And they can not figure
out why smaller towns like Iowa FAILS
and Marshalltown can win over the
teams from the Waterloo schools. A
Waterloo eleven has not beaten Mar
shalltown football team in the past
four years and both the schools have
been playing the Marshall county lads.
That makes eight chances for victory
for Waterloo and that victory wont
come this year. East high meets Mar
shalltown on the locals gridiron Sat
urday afternoon and only a miracle
can bring the bacon to the Waterloo
camp.

SIOUX CITY GETS SETBACK IN
EFFORTS TO STAMP OUT
VICE.
DISTRICT COURT RIGHTS
BEING iNFRlNGED UPON
Ju dse Jepson Holds City Ordinance
Unconstitutional Because it Assumes
Functions Delegated to State Courts
Court Claims Council Overstepped
Legislative Authority.

Sioux CITY. oct. 24--1n it's wal
against booze and vice, the city ad-
ministrat!on has been shooting blanks
and unless the fsht is carried to new
battle fields the war will have been
fought in vain.
This became evident yesterday when
Judge George Jepsun, in the district
court. held unconstitutional an ordi-
nance aimed to regulate nuisances, and
which has proved serious menace to
bootleggers and to vice.
The police have been waging their
war on vice and booze. thru the
liquor nuisance ordinance'-recentl
enacted-as it is applied in police court
the court of the administration. Here
after according to Judge Jepson'
ruling. the police, if they act legally,
must bring such cases under state laws,
in state courts and not under city or
dinances in the police court.
Demurrer Sustained.
The ruling came during the course
OF arguments over a motion for a de-
murrer in the case OF man who was
arrested and fined in police court for
maintaining a liquor nuisance" After
sustaining the motion for the demurrer,
Judge Jepson handed down the op!n-
ion holding the ordinance unconStitu-
tional He said the city council over
stepped its law making power in en-
acting the ordinance.
Four similar cases, appeals from po-
lice court, were thrown out of court,
as a result of the ruling. The cases dis
carded We're those of the city against
the following: H. Merlin, VI. Convey.
Sam Rife and W. Sigler.
Under the code" said the court the
city council is delegated power to reg
ulate nearly every sort Of nuisance in
existence, but for some reason the reg
ulation of a liquor nuisance is not
specified. In other chapters of the code
the state is delegated the sole power
to handle liquor violations. making it
plain it seems to me, that it was the
intention of the state to regulate the
liquor traffic itself Had it intended
that the city should have this power,
it would have been delegated. This rul-
ing should not hamper the police
bit. 1t will mean simply that. instead
of bringing such actions in police court,
they will hereafter bring them in the
district court"
Purpose Of Measure.
The nuisance ordinance" was recent
ly enacted by the council 1t was writ
ten at the direction of George Z, Ward,
superintendent of public safety, who
sought a freer hand in his fight for
the suppression of the liquor traffic.
The ordinance made a place where
liquor is kept a nuisance or a person
handling it the same. 1t had a wide
stroke, hitting directly at booze and in
directly at vice. 1t was drawn to aid
in those cases where the police fail to
get evidence Of sales on bootleggers.

Clnrinda Oct. 2i.--An application for
pardon or communication Of the sentence
has been made in behalf Of William
Lucas who has served Is years in the
penitentlary for the murder of Emma

YVES driven from Shenandoah several
times by city authorities.
Lucas was convicted Of murder in
the first degree Mt the October term,

Page county, and sentenced to I'M
pr!sonment for life. He was 22 years
old at the time of the trial. The body
of the young woman was found dead
under small bridge on the railroad
south of Clarinda.
The reasons assigned for granting
the pardon or communication Of sentence
are that he is not guilty of the crime
of which he has been convicted and
that his conduct while confined to the
penitentiary has been exemplary and
that his record merits consideration at
this time.
THE application for pardon Will be
presented to the board Of parole at the
December session. The Lucas trial will
be remembered by many of the older
residents of Page county as it attracted
great crowds to the court house.
Lucas was arrested at his home at
Clearmont Mo-, the day following the
finding of the body of the young
woman. He had been with her for
several days previous to her death,
While he and his father were running
a saw mill at Shambaugh he became
acquainted with Emma Moore. 1t was
upon circumstantial evidence that
Lucas was convicted of the crime.

Review Of Sports
and Athletic News

Of these institutiongs would hardly be
noticed. The first idea In many QUAR-
tiers was to give UP the gridiron spoH
entirely. but the suggestions Of Prest-
dent Wilson in regard to sports In
war time, coupled with the sane view
OF the men in charge Of sports at vdri-
Gus universities, have prevailed.
! No less an authority than Walter
Camp, the dean Of football and the
leading figure Of the gridiron sport
Tor score Of years, has come OUT
with the statement that this Is to pc
the biggest year in Football" Mr. Camp
Is not inclined to make rash state
ments, and his views on the coming
season are all the more weighty Tor
this reasons He is in closer touch
with conditions thruout the college
world than is any other man connected
with the game.
At the meeting OF the football rules
committee recently the Introductory
speech was made by MT. Camp. who
has not missed big football meet
ing in many years. He has been put
In charge Of football work at the
naval training stations, and Is doing
his part, too, In the fostering OF the
sport at the army environments BE-
Ing In q position, therefore, TO KNOW
the conditions in and out OF the col-
leSes, he took occasion to inform the
$50 football leaders in attendance at
the meeting that tho same is to en-
Joy a boom this season greater than
ever before.
"Despite the cutting down Of sched-
ules ut some colleges" said MIR.
Camp. ''this Is to be one Of the big
gest years in the history Of the sporte
perhaps the very biggest. The great
majority of the colleges Will be rep
resented as usual and many men who
heretofore have not had the oppor-
tunity to enjoy the game as players
will be playing 1t In naval training
stations and Mt army cantonmentA
The fact that many stars OF the pass
two seasons have been lost simply
opens the way for the DEVELOPMENT OF
tother players, q condition that holds
true every year at the colleges"

COSTLY SPRINT FOR "sucK.-
Zim's Race With Eddie Collins Cost
Herxoa 500 Q Foot.


THAT was the shortest run ever
got for my money, and it cost me
500 foot for seventeen feet"
That is Charley Herzog's view OF
Heinie Zimmerman's famous race
with Eddie Collins when Zimmerman
chased the White Sox into the. worlds
baseball championship. Herzog had
$500 bet on the result OF the game,
and he added this to the difference be-
tween the winners and losers end Of
the gate receipts.
III Heinie hadn't pulled that bonei
we would have won the game" Her.
zcg said, and Il We had wc. that
battle the series would have gone to
US. The difference between the los.
ing and winning shares of the money
is about $1,000. also bet $500 that
we would win the game. When Zim
started his race said to myself
There goes $170o running away
from me- wouldn't care so much
II the race had been, all around the
sacks, but seventeen feet is entirely
too short for 30 much coin"

GERMANY MUST
PINCH ON FOOD
Stock of Provisions Scantier Than in
Two Previous Years of War,
Berlin Admits.

BERLIN, Jan. 3l-Germany undoubt-
edly will be able to hold out until the next
harvest if the supplies of food are hus-
banded and distributed carefully, although
the stocks of provisions this year are
scantler than in the two previous years of
the war, said Adolph Won Batocki, presi-
dent of the food regulation board, in an
address which was prompted by the pres
ent troubles in food distribution.
Reckoning five pounds of potatoes as
equal in food value to one pound Of grain,
Herr Won Batocki figures the total supply
available for man and beast as equivalent
to 100000 tons of grain less than last
year, since the increase of 4,000,000 tons in
the grain harvest is more than counter
balanced by the decrease in the potato
crop amounting to 30000,000 tons
The shortage of potatoes also affects the
supply Of meat milk, butter, etc, since it
necessitated utilization of turnips for food
and prohibition of the use of grain for fod-
der The food stuffs captured in Rumania
furnished welcome and valuable addition.
Herr Won Batocki said, but owing to
transport difficulties will be available only
gradually.
The problem Of food supply is now being
most direct manner by the discussions re-
garding an introduction of a standard
bread The proposed abolition of wheaton
rolls and the issue Of uniform loaves of
mixed rye and wheat are Objectionable
both to the upper classes which prefer the
fastier rolls, and to the working popula-
ton, which will have to pay more for the
mixed loaf than for the present rye bread
However, the authorities declare the
change is inevitable, in order to obtain the
maximum amount Of bread from a given
uantity of -four Otherwise the weekly
a~cad ration would have to he reduced
The difficulties are not due to any re.
4uction in the total supnly FOR Berlin. but
the fact that the better classes, which
ormerlv consumed only part Of their
ad ration. are now using il down to the
EST roll Another factor consists o. tic
3lausnta1v ra-ions .ssuad to the work
ug classes 70 cke out inadequate sunnEes
other articles of food The bread prob
m also has become accentuated recently
~ the severe winter weather, which no
My has crippled the transportation ser
vice. but have prevented farmers from
opening potato cellars ana expressing thei
ootatoes to the risk of freezing in tn,
transit
These conditions have caused many well
to-do persons to take advantage OF tn
municipal food kitchens, where a nourishin
and appetizing food is ohtainable Anon
these persons are the members of NUN
