Charles Peters Has
Draw With Santen
After Two-Hour Fray

Another brilliant light is seen
among the stars of the mat game,
following Charlie Peters showing
against AID Santell, the coast phe-
nom, at Boise. Idaho. Monday night.
Peters held Santell to draw, going
over two hours. How much more
than two hours, is not known here,
but a wire to Jack Lewis. Peters
manager, stated two hours and three
minutes. The time was stated in
figures and Lewis suspects that two
hours and 80 minutes was meant,
the zero falling off somewhere.

Tournament Notes.

The Omaha alleys are now heav-
lily guarded to prevent a repetition
of dastardly crime committed the
night before the crack Omaha
teams rolled when the tourney was
last held here. Fifty Figenschuh's
milk wagon was seen standing in
front of an oil station early yester-
day morning and the local bow1ers
are suspicious that he had some
thing in the cans besides milk. 1t
was Fitz who bathed the alleys IN
Gil at the tournament held here in
1915, just prior to the shooting Of
the local rollers, and this served to
handicap them to the extent that
they rolled nothing. They are TAX
ing no chances this time.
That Utica Clothiers team is anx-
ious for a home and home match
for huge dough with any Omaha
team. and Eye Editor" now holds
$500 of their coin to bind the match.
The crack Fremont team is included
in their challenge.
Get your season tickets and two
bit pieces ready for the biggest and
best bowling exhibition ever staged
commencing Friday night and con-
tinuing until Monday night. No
tournament. not even the big Amer
lean Bowling congress, ever had
such galaxy of all-star teams ap-
pearing on two days like those APP
pearing Saturday and Sunday. Thir-
ty-two crack teams, all of them hav-
ing champions and ex-champs in
their lineups, on the program. These
teams shoot in all the tournaments,
but this is the first time that thirty
two of them have been gathered to-
gether in one flock and bowling to-
gether in a period of two days.
Two of the most enthusiastic
hackers of local teams are Sam
Boord, the angel of the Sans In
dams, and c. E. Paulsen of the
Paulsen Motor squad. Neither ever
misses a match and Sam goes one
better and actually participates in
the matches, being one of the stars
on the team. Paulsen has the fever
and says that he will be a regular
on his team by the time another
season rolls around. Both of these
are. of course, full Of enthusiasm
over the appearance of their teams,
scheduled to roll tonight in the
tournament. Paulsen thinks as

Lot Livermore is quite sick at his
residence.
Jesse Failing is gradually recovering
from a recent illness.
Grasshoppers are still camping with
the Butter Creek people and have got
ten away with nearly all the grass on
the range.

a trip to the head waters of the Grand
Ronde valley where he reclipped the
Joshua Hoppen band of sheep pur-
chased by himself and w. +. Matlock.
Mr.. Thompson awoke at the
sheep camp to find frost covering the
ground as thick and white as ever
came in midwinter.
Ed Bayliss is wrestling with severe
and painful attack of neuralgia.
James Peters, roadmaster on the

Tsingtau to Shanghai and
Chifu, and mining concessions
throughout the province. The
question of sovereignty, how
ever, concerns the leased area
only, and here Japan has given
a pledge of its return to China,
within a year it is understood,
retaining for herself harbor
facilities near Tsingtau. Only
by merging 200 square miles
into $4,000 square miles, mag
nifying 100000 people into 40,-
100000 and assuming that ia
pan stands ready to break her
word does the problem of Kiau-
chau attain the dimensions it
holds in the Imagination of Hi
ram Johnson. The Johnson
Borah argument would be that
since Japan has hitherto scru-
pulously held to her word, she
is bound to begin breaking it

SHANTUNG AND
KIAUCHAU.

~ HE province of Shantung
VI has an area of $4,000
square miles, with popu-
lation of about 25,000.0 900. The
leased territory of Kiauchau,
surrendered by Germany to
Japan, is fragment of the pro-
vince of Shantung, with an area
of 200 square miles and a ma
tive population of about 200,-
900. Shantung and Kiauchau
have been used Interchange
ably in recent discussion, but it
will do no harm, when the

"enslavement" of 40,000,000
Chinese are next brought up, to
remember that the area pri-
marify in question, Kiauchau,
comprises about one-half of l
per cent of its population.
There are involved, to be sure,

forms the basis of demands
from nearly 100000 railroad
workers for more pay. Food
profitters have followed every
wage increase with price in
creases, the workers asserts
and have readily eaten up each
increase. The proposition be-
fore the government now is to
again meet the increased wage
demands or bring the regu-
lators of prices to a halt.
That the government is going
to change its tune and stop the
upward catapult of living costs
appears more likely this time.

fear.
The various railroad workers
conductors, brakemen, train
men and shopmen, constitute
one of the largest and most in
fluential of the labor groups in
the country. Likewise are they
a loyal body and have always
been reasonable in their de-
mands. Three months investi-
cation has preceded the presen-
tation of the new wage de-
mands and the workers admit
that they have but one alterna-
tive, reduction in living costs
such as congress is now aiming
at.
The race to see whether
wages go up or prices come
down likely will hold the atten-
ton of the country for the next
few weeks. Ii congress can
get the food prnfiteers on the
run instead of permitting the
merry-go-round as at present.
It will have accomplished one
mighty big mid summer service.
