McGraw Will Keep
Both Kruger and
Kilduff, He Says

Both Pete Kilduff and Ernie
Kruger have earned jobs with the
Giants.
These are the tidings Pa Rourke
brought back to Omaha yesterday
from Kansas City, where Saturday
and Sunday he had a conference with
John McGraw.
"McGraw is crazy over Kilduff,"
Pa said. "He declares Pete is the
best-looking prospect he's seen in
years. He likes Kruger, too, and
says he will keep both men,"
Omaha fans suspected McGraw
would take to Kilduff., Pete is a
scrappy youngster of just the type
McGraw likes. 1t was figured Kruger
might be sent back, because McGraw
has three veteran catchers in Nc
earthly, Rairden and Gibson, but
Muggsy has decided to use Gibson
only as coach and will not play him
at all.
McGraw also promised Rourke a
pitcher. Just who the hurler will
be the Giant leader could not say, but
said he would send man who will
be a winner in the Western.

Five Dollars a Bale

most sensational advances in the cot
ton trade occurred at the markets
opening today. May contracts sold
up to $5.55 and July $3.50 a bale
above Thursdays closing prices.
The upturn was attributed principal
w. to the continued unfavorable
weather east of the Mississippi, with
the strength of the spot situation as
an added factor.

ROURKES lombard
BREWER TWIRLERS
Accumulate Fourteen Hits and
WaNop Milwaukee to Tune
Of Seven to Five.
SMITH MAKES THRHE KkFs
Drawn for
The Bee
by
George
McManus

The Rourkes for the second time
this year demonstrated their class
yesterday afternoon by lacing the Mil
waukee American association club, 7
to 5, before less than 200 people.
The Rourkes had their war toys on
yesterday and they hammered both
Goodwin and Feath, the twirling Mil
waukee persons, in most seandalous
manner, accommodating a total of four
teen blows.
Earl Smith, just returned by the
Cubs, who overlooked good bet
when they discarded him, led the on
slaught with three bingles, one of
which was a triple. Shag Thompson,
Cy Forsythe, Joe Burg and Hal Brok-
aw each combed out two hits.
Threesruns was the toll of the first
Rourke bombardment in the second
stanza. Cy Forsythe started it with
single to left. He took second on
Burg's inheld out and counted on
Tony Brottem's two-base knock to
left center. Hal Brokaw hit the left
field wall with double scoring Tony
dnu dfttI CuIllS WHlHSu, Jliiltll
doubled to left, scoring Brokaw.
In the next round Thompson beat
out a bunt and Krug walked. Both
advanced on Forsythe's out and
marked on Burg's single to left
Smiths single, lrelan's sacrifice,
Thompson's single and Forsythe's
drive through the box scored two in
the seventh.
Three One Handed Catches.
Currie and Barham did the hurting
for Omaha. Both pitched nice ball.
Shag Thompson made three one
handed catches in center. One was a
spear Of a line drive by McHenry.
On the other two Shag misjudged
them in the sun and had to make
them one-handed.
Hal Brokaw was shifted to FIRST base
yesterday. 1t was discovered he used
to play that bag before he became an
outfelder, so Smith was placed in his
old position in left and Brokaw put
on first. He played good fielding
game and made two solid hits. Rourke
and Krug expect him to prove a win
ner at first cushion.
The Rourkes play their next game,
Saturday, when Des Moines comes for
two-game series. Score:

CONGRESS WILL
 BACK WILSON
WILL NO DOUBT PASS RESOLU- TION, WHICH THE PRESIDENT WILL REQUEST.

Washington, April 2.-Presidenl Wilson tonight urged Congress il joint session to declare that state o1 war exists between the United States and Germany.
 In a dispassionate, but unmeasurec Accommodation of the course of the Ger man government which he characteriz- ed as "a challenge to all mankind, Z and warfare against all nations,v the president said that neutrality no long CT is feasible or desirable where the peace of the world is involved; ! that armed neutrality has become ineffec- tual enough at best and is likely to produce what it was intended to pre- vent. He urged that Congress accept the gauge of battle with all the re- sources of the nation
 "I advise that the Congress declare the recent course of the imperial Ger man government to be in fact nothing less than war against the government and people of the United States" said the president, "that it formally accept the status of belligerent which has thus been thrust upon it and that it take steps not only to put the country in more thorough state of defense, but also to exert all itsspower and en- ploy all it's resources to bring the gov ernment of the German empire to terms and end the war"
 No Doubt as to Action
 When the president had finished res olutions to declare state of war ex- isting were introduced in both houses of Congress and referred to appropri- ate committees and will be debated to- There is no doubt of their passage.
 The objects of the United States in entering the war, the president said, were to vindicate the principles of peace and justice against selfish and autoeratic power.' Without selfish ends, for conquest of dominion, seek ing no indemnities or material compen- sations for the sacrifices it shall make, the United States must enter the war,
  he said, to make the world safe for democracy, as only one of the cham pions of the rights of mankind and would be satisfied when those rights were as secure as the faith and free dom of nations could make them
 The presidents address was sent in full to Germany by German official news agency for publication in that country The text also went to Eng land and a summary of it's contents was sent around the world to other nations. z

PROTEST AGAINST
 TRAVELLING SHOWS
LADIES ASK MAYOR AND CITY
 COUNCIL TO KEEP SHOWS OUT. OTHER COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS

A protest signed by the Ladies oi Malvern, who attended Prayer meet ing Monday afternoon, was present ed to the City Council, at it's meeting Monday night, against travelling shows, carniyals, skating rinks, and l shows of like character and asking the Mayor and City Council to protect the people of the town against them The reading of the resolution met the hearty approval of the members of the 1 Council, who declared themselves in favor of it, and in accordance with it's spirit. It was explained however, that the Council had no authority to take any action on the matter, as the City Ordinances leave the matter up to the Mayor, and he may refuse to is sue the license, if he so desires.

 s'To the Mayor and Council of Nal vern.
 We the mothers wives, sisters and friends of this town come with this appeal, asking you to use your authority to protect our children and young people of this town from the evil and corrupting influences of the
 
 promiseuous travelling shows, carni- vals, skating rinks and shows of like character.
 We believe that the revenue to the town from such sources, is over- balanced by the corrupt influences they leave behind them
 ssWe believe that all classes of this town would be better off, if such things were excluded and prohibited from coming into it.
 Signed by the ladies who attended the prayer meeting this afternoon, April 2nd, 1917.'
 The Council was called to order at 8 p. m., by City Recorder Lewis Collie, who was also acting Mayor, in the absence from the city of Mayor Haley.

Farmer Controlled
Legislature Gets
Down TO Business

Bismark, N. d., Jan. 2.-North Da-
kota's farmer legislature got down to
business today, without pomp and eere-
mony.
It was a legislative session entirely
dominated by farmers political or
ganizatien that had its birth IN the
idea of cooperative marketing Of grain
without speculation.
From the Equity Cooperative ex-
change, standing solely for the open
unspeculative food market, grew the
Farmers Non. Partisan league Of North
Dakota. This organization stood for
state control of all elevators, non
speculative markets, and public owner
ship of public utilities. In two elee-
tions it swept into the legislature suf-
ffcient members to control the law
making body.
