LIEUT.. HUNTER IN
DEADLOCK AT TENNIS
Beaten by Binzen, 17-15, in
First Set, officer Wins Sec
ond at New Rochelle, IS.

LieuA Francis T. Hunter the young
naval officer who defeated Admiral
David Beatty OF the British Navy in
friendly match last summer. created
another sensation on the lawn tennis
courts yesterday by battling fiercely
with Elliott II. Binzen in the third
round of the New Rochelle Tennis
Clubs annual open tournament. The
men went through a grueNing first
set at l7-15. with Binzen to the fore.
and then locked horns again In the
second and played another twelve
games before Hunter won at 7-5.
They will finish the match this after
noon. Darkness caused O halt to their
play.
Hunter made a remarkable uphill
fight in the second set, and It was only
by powerful net attack, coupled with
sensational volleying and smashing
that he escaped what appeared certain
defeat. Binzen held. the lead at 5-2
on games and again at SIS. with the
advantage OF the service, he needed
but single point to, bring him the
victory. But Hunter would not have
1t so, and began a tremendous assault
from the net position.
Both were erratic in the early stages
OF the match. but Binzen managed to
control his overhead play better at the
critical stages. and before Hunter
started his comeback" was going along
smoothly. volleying very we'll and fore
Ing his openings with splendidly placed
deep court drives down the side lines.
Just when the gallery was ready to
concede victory to Bnzen Hunter
showed he still was in the struggle by
tightening UP his whole game. His pow
erfu! forehand drives started to rip holes
through his opponents court, and these
shots were followed up with great speed
by Hunter. who finished pr his points at
the net by sharp volleying. He won
game after game, until he stood even at
Sail. and Binzen began to weaken.
The last two games were desperately
fought, but Hunter would not be denied
at this stage and took the set at IS,
sQuaring the match.
Alfred d. Hammett went into the
fourth round through his victory OVER

Roamer is entered i'm all the handicap

Thunderclap led home a small field
Of costly three year -olds including John
ssnford's Tippity Witchet. which cost
$685. as a two-year-old and Trans
late, the black colt which Howard
Marshall bought for $4,000 at Pimiico
few weeks ago. Thunderclap won by
half length, with Tippity Witchet a
similar distance in front of Translate.
Translate probably was the best. He
got away badly and ran on the outside
OF his field all the way. In the home
stretch he displayed a great burst of
speed and was rapidly overhauling the
leaders at the end. With a stronger
boy than little Callahan in the saddle
he probably would have won.

Omaha, Feb. 1910 the Editor Of
The Bee: Today all that was mortal
of the late Richard O'Keeffe was laid
in st. Mary's cemetery. May his soul
rest in peace.
The younger generation was not
as familiar with Mr.. O'Keeffe as
were the citizens of Omaha 80 years
ago, he having retired from active
life after the death of his beloved
wife. s..
He arrived in Omaha while in the
full bloom Of his young and vigorous
manhood, and he used his splendid
attributes, with which nature had
richly endowed him, in the develop
ment and progress OF his chosen city.
Under the blighting influence of
alien laws these attributes were Of
little avail in his native land, and
hence he sought protection and en-
couragement from the only country
in the world which guarantees 'llife,
liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness" He appreciated the hospital
ity of his adopted country, and 10y
ally did he repay it for all that it
had given him. His fellow citizens
could show no greater proof Of their
confidence in his ability and integrity
than to elect him four successive
times to the responsible position Of
county commissioner. It was while
he was commissioner that the court
house was built, and at the same
time other public improvements of
vast Importance were carried out.
The writer, who was himself a
county officer, bears cheerful testl-
mony to the fact that every voucher

Minneapolis Tribune: Getting back
to peace is not so far from the
thing General Sherman called war.
st. Louis Globe Democrat: Find
ing jobs for everybody is what the
socialists say is the states business.
1t looks attractive, except that the
question remains to be asked, VIII
the jobs be compulsory?
Kansas City Star: The threat of
the German government to break on
negotiations with the allies implies
some confusion in the German mind.
The allies have no negotiations on
with Germany.
Brooklyn Eagle: No patent med
icine manufacturer has uttered a
single peep against march toward
Sahara. His is the rock that some
Moses will smite, when dryness
makes the multitude too faint and
weary.
Washington Post: Charley Schwab
gives the efficiency experts of the
government a tip by cable. He says
that efficiency and hard work mean
the same thing and the one cannot
be accomplished without the other.
Baltimore Americana: The allies,
it is said, are agreed that Belgium
will come first in indemnity from
Germany. That country is now
looking forward to the pleasant
prospect of being comparatively
bled white, as a fitting punishment
for seeing red.

Helm! Or We Perish

Every soldier who puts on a uniform Of

Brave words, these.
Spoken by whom?
By Newton D. Baker, secretary of war:
Spoken of course, before or when demob-
ilization Of the armed forces started?
Oh no; spoken on February 5, 1919, after
scores of thousands of soldiers and sailors had
been mustered out, sent to their homes and
given chance TO use their own wits to find
something to do.
The cheering promise held out by Mr.. Baker
will be made good when?
Search us.
And how?
Search US again.
And through whom?
Search us third time but hold he speaks
OF American business men cooperating with the
government
Does the War department know how to
cooperate?
Oh, yes. indeed; presumably so; but it seems
to have been overturned or something. 1t
doesn't keep its eye on the ball very well, but
it plays a great game in the rundown she'd

The League Of Nations.

President Wilson's plan for League OF Ma
tons, as outlined in the draft made public at
Paris yesterday, practically puts the affairs Of
the world in the hands of FIVE nations, the
United States, Great Britain, France, Italy and
Japan. These, with four others to be selected
by them, are to be the final arbiters of any
cause that may tend to war in the future. AS
the leading powers of the world, perhaps, they
may justly assume the responsibility of decid-
ing for all the others, for against their wishes
no nation is likely to succeed at war.
The draft contains provision for elaborate
but easily regulated machinery to carry on the
business of the league It's provision for dis
armament keep the word of promise to the ear
and break it to the hope" of those who had
anticipated an end of armies and navies. IRE
ducton of national armament to the lowest
point consistent with national safety" is rather
an elastic provision, especially when the final
decision is left to the dominant powers. This
makes certain that Great Britain will maintain
its navy, France its army, Japan both its mill
tary and naval establishments, and that Italy
and the United States must be ready to meet
any demand that may confront them.
Nations at present excluded from the league
may later'be admitted by two-thirds affirma-
tive vote of the signatories, on sufficient
showing OF good faith and sincere intention to
carry out the objects Of the league. This covers
the German case very neatly.
The whole plan deserves careful study,
that Americans may be we'll informed as to Just
how it involves them in the business of the
world 1t has been suggested that for fifty
years to come the only league that will be truly
effective would be that of the United States and
Great Britain. Between these two we will
choose.
At best, the draft is but tentative, subject to
modification, and will not be presented to the
senate for ratification until after the treaty of
peace is disposed Of Plenty of time will be
given for its full consideration before its formal
adoption

"code" Bill for Nebraska.

Governor McKelvie did good job explain-
ing his proposed "code" bill to the Rotarians
In presenting to business men a proposition OF
this nature, he set himself right at the start.
The measure may be discussed in greater de-
tail at another time, but for the present The
Bee wants to call attention to the fact that the
governor offers it as way of securing more
businesslike administration for the affairs of
the state.
The platform on which he was elected
pledged the candidate to certain definite re-
FORMS and among these change in methods
of running the state government. A business
that has grown 800 per cent in, the last ten
years, and now represents an annual expendi-
ture of around six million dollars Of the tax
payers money deserves the closest attention
This is what Governor McKelvie proposes it
shall have.
His administration measure does not in any
way interfere with the coming constitutional
convention, nor will its adoption make the work
of that gathering more complicated or difficult
It will though, give Nebraska better govern
ment until after the work Of the convention
has been passed on by the people.
The present arrangement OF boards ana COM
missions with overlapping authority and inter-
fering jurisdiction, is both cumbersome and ex-
pensive The McKelvie code bill proposes to
do away with this antiquated conglomeration
and substitute co-ordinated scheme, under
which the business Of the state can be carried
on as economically and effectively as that of
we'll organized private concern. And that is
why the democratic politicians are so COM
pletey opposed to it.

GIVE THE POLICE FORCE A HEAD.

The city commissioners are stepping all
around the real cause Of trouble in the Omaha
police department. If the force is disorganized
and ineffciently directed, it is not because the
individual members are incompetent or dis
honest What is needed is capable control
In naming a new chief of detectives, the
commission announced that he was to "haye
free hand" What does that mean? Will he
be independent of the chief of police, who is
supposed to exercise authority over all sub
ordnates? Captain Dunn is a man of expert
ence and character, and his selection for his
present responsible position is undoubtedly
wise. But the appointment should have come
from the chief of police, and not from the city
council.
If Chief Eberstein is not the man for the
place, if he can not properly control and direct
the operations of the police force in all its
branches, he should be superseded But in all
fairness to him, he should be given an oppor-
tunity he has not yet had that of being chief of
police.
So long as the responsibility and authority
is not centered in one individual, just that long
will we be troubled with factions, friction and
inefiiciency in the police force Discipline can
neither be established or maintained by giving
subordinates "a free hand" nor while the de-
partment has several heads and these heads are
working at cross-purposes.
Make the chief of police the active head Of
the department.; hold him to account for its do
ings, and at least we will know where to put
the blame when things 60 wrong.
