It is true that the Lincoln management did suggest at one tlmo a guarantee of (390. This smount hss since been lifted to $400 to insure approximately the same margin of profit as would have accrued the terms of His original contract had conditions remained unchanged. The Lincoln figures pltce the expense right st $310. Kailroad fare haa Increased since the contract waa entered Into, steals cost more money than they cost six months ago. When the contract waa made.

It was clearly understood that the $300 would net Lincoln something of a bonus since the expenses-at that time were figured at little more than $2u0. Lincoln High has always held out for a bonus for the Thanksgiving fray when it is staged Turkey day and than battle for the honors, but such a hope Is rather farfetched since a number of other strong high, school teams have a finger in the championship pie. It Is to be hoped that the Cambridge authorities msy see a wy clear to meet the Lincoln proposal without taking any great chance of losing money. Certainly Lincoln has stated her terms early enough so that it the event of a cancellation. Cambridge may find another Thanksgiving opponent.

In the event that the Lincoln-Cambridge game is called off, there's a possibility that th red and black schedule may close on No vember 22. The postponed Lincoln-Tor game may, be staked on Husker field th. day before Thanksgiving so as not Id conflict with the 'varsity encounter.

The women who brought this suit be said, are those injured by the wrong, and the law gives them the right to protect themselves. He said that those have a right to invoke the law who are injured by this false referendum. The limited suffrage law created a special class of voters, and they have a right to sue for themselves. This court had passed upon a referendum case, and in that the I' TO GO UPON BALLOT SIPHEME COIRT HOLDS IT HAS XO JIHISDICTIOX.

Lata Saturday afternoon the supreme court, after listening three houra to arguments and engaging In an hour and a half consultation, decided that It has no Jurisdiction of the appeal of the anti-euffraglsts from the decision of Judge Flans burg. This decision enjoined the secretary of state from placing the limited suffrage law upon the ballot for popular approval or rejection and also suspended the suffrage law Itself, thus preventing the women from voting at the coming election. The matter now stands on his decision.

The court will later file an opinion In the case. The point of no jurisdiction was urged by the attorneys for the suffragists on the ground that the order of i sway from home scordlng to the authorities nor has there been any hesitancy in giving a bonus for the holiday plums played In Lincoln. Lincoln as unwilling last spring to enter Into a contract to play at Cambridge without -assurance of a profit from the game. Khs Is tlU unwilling. The margin of profit has not been enlarged in the demands by the local management in short, Lincoln wants exactly the same bonus as she wanted last spring.

A Wr Tlmo Problem. Schools thruout the country have been called upon to rearrange the financial side of their bookings. No visiting team will knowingly take the chance of financial loss. The game scheduled for Cambridge should draw big. lioth Lincoln and Cambridge have demonstrated their strength.

11 lull school fans thruout the stale will regret to see a cancellation. Ths intimation from a Cambridge source that Lincoln may fear defuat Is unworthy. IJncoln has made no premature boasts of a championship. Nor has Cambridge. Lincoln has lost championships In otTier It would not be at all surprising to see her lose It Is not to bo taken for granted that the proposed Thanksgiving fray will be for the championship.

Klther team may ba put out of It before thon. In which event, neither Lincoln nor Cambridge would havo much to loso by a defeat at ths hands of tho other. The hope lins been strong in local circles that the two teams might march undefeated up to probabilities are, however, that York will play hera either November or on the 22nd.

GREAT LAKES. Oct Th Northwestern university football team held th Great Lka naval tralnlug nation lva to a scureleM ti in a gaui playd on a slippery, soggy field at th tut km today. Th contest was witnessed by thousands of bluejackets. Altho th ball wa deep ta Northwestern territory during moat of th gm. the navy had only two chances to score, "Paddy" lJricoll, a former star at Northwestern, attempted to register two field goals for the bluejackets.

He tumbled ths ball on hi first chanc In tho second quarter and Northwestern kicked out of danger.

The Lincoln High-Cambridge football game scheduled for Cambridge on Turkey day la hanging fire. Boiled down to the final analysis, the situation la just this: Cambridge seeks to hold Lincoln to the terms of a contract entered last spring and stipulating a guarantee of 1300. Lincoln insists that the guarantee be raised to $400. Principal Frank G. 1'lckell has stated his terms to the Cambridge authorities.

F.ither they will be met or the game will be cancelled. This la the final word from the head of the Lincoln lilgh. Cambridge holds that a contract is a contract and that the terms should be respected regardless of unusual conditions occasioned by the war conditions that have developed since the signatures were attached to the document. Lincoln takes the position that the Intent back of the contract Is vital. The Intent back of this particular contract was to give to the Lincoln athletic management a bonus of approximately 1100 it Is said.

Conditions that have since arisen, wipe out the bonus and a little more. Lincoln agreed to play Uie game for expenses and a bonus both of which were represented In the contract at the time It was written based on conditions then existant. Is Lincoln still entitled to this bonus? Similar Question Faced. It's a rather complicated question. Not different, however, than one already faced and solved by tho Lincoln management.

At least one team on Lincoln" "at home" schedule, recently presented facts showing that guarantee made In the spring Is now Inadequate. Lincoln promptly entered Into a new contract with this school the new contract stipulating a sum considerably greater than that named in the initial contract. The following letter from C. LJttel superintendent of schools at Cambridge and member of the board of control of the Nebraska High school athletic association, to Principal IMckell, explains the situation aa rrgaided at the Cambridge end: Statement From Cambridge. 'In regard to th Cambridge-Lincoln footfall gam which will be played at L'am-brldga on Turkey day: Th written contract for this gam was mad on April 14, lam.

and stipulated a cash guarantee of I.1UU without any reference to eipense. This contract la duly signed by Superintendent C. Llttel and Principal A. J. Kastou for Cambridge high school and O.

W. Mack-man, manager, and Frank principal for Lincoln high school, ar rather surprised lb.at Lincoln should raise th question of guarantee. In th business world an abaolut contract Is carrlvd out by both partlea vn if on does lose by It, Th war has raised car fare, but how about diminishing our crowd Thanksgiving The contract call for a payment, of $300 to Lincoln and they flgur their expense at 1386, but want 30. Let' look a little at th eipense aid of this contract. It It were mad that way, lioth schoola ar under th Nebraska High School Athletic, association.

Article IV, section 6 of the rule of th association states: "The minimum necessary expenses shall allowed for sixteen men. unless a different number Is mutually agreed upon, including th principal or superintendent or manager of a football team." Hallroad far round trip from Lincoln Including war tax la $11. IS. This multiplied by sixteen equals car fare. A aplendld meal can obtained in Cambridge st 60 rnts.

Thre meals in Cambridge would cost $1.60, Allow 76 cents each for th other thr mal and hav a total of $3.76 ach for meals. Tills multiplied by sixteen, makes an evfn $60 for meals. Lodging per playar In Cambridge haa bn arranged at 60u a player. Alluw each on $3 for brlh horn on train and hav $2.60 each cost fur lodging. Multiply thl by sixteen and we get exactly $40.

Adding together th thre Items of expxense car-far meals $60 and lodging $40 and hav total of Th signed contract rail for a payment of $300, making a difference of only $10.68, which Lincoln would hav to pay and that could wiped out with little care. In a recent letter to Mr. Oogglns I asked hlmV to Itemize his expense that might know th rason Lincoln think sh ought to hav more money. He counters by saying he la using Mr. Plekell's figures but fall to give the flsures, Cambridge doss not to niggardly in this mat.

ter, but can't so our way Meat1 fo'Tfais the guarantee unless we know why It Is needed. I am stir 1 hav allowed for all necessary expense In my Itemised state ment and feel that a least $10 can cut off it car bo used, Figures Are Correct. There's no disposition on tho part of the Lincoln authorities to question the authenticity of the above figures. Principal Pickcll docs not, however, under War -Time Investments When a bualrtess firm Bella lis business, the purchaser pays a certain sum for the tangible assets and a larger sum for "goodwill," or the reputation of the firm, It requires years of prompt payment of jirinclpal anil interest on Investments sold to create confidence and tho subsequent "good-will" of an investment bunking establishment.

Katra Dame and brjs will renew hoatUilics of othr years oa Hiufcrr "rid next Saturday. Both trams have brrn coming taut and the struggle pratulMa to be rally to the high standard statu ithrd by thrae sc-boot. Another jump is about to be made on Nebraska's checkerboard football sched ule. The Great Lakes jackies cannot apr pear on Husker field for a Turkey day bout. This information was received by the university athletic authorities Saturday.

The sailors play the United Slates naval academy team at Annapolis on November 23 and one week luter meet Perdue. To sandwich a game botwe these two is out of the question. But if the Nebraska bosses succeed In bringing Northwestern out lor ihe Thanksgiving menu, nobody will care a great deal about the failing thru of the plans for a skirmish with the Gnat Lakes. A week ago Northwestern was not regarded over fondly here. Ffforls had been made to induce the Kvanston management to cut tho big guarantee somewhere near in half.

For a time it looked as tho the tilt with the Purple might be scratched off 'tho slate. Today North- looms up as one of -the bin lrs on the prospective program.

Word from Northwestern that the cut-rato pioimsal suggested by Nebiaska boliiK con sidered reached local -headquarter day. Upon learning of that scoreless tie, however.

Prof. R. B. Scott, athletic man ager. Immediately decided that If proper arrangements con be made Northwestern is the big card for Nebraska on Thanksgiving.

He will wire the Big Ten institution today suggesting a switch In date. It Is possible that If the latter is sgrec-able to the suggestion the 'original guar antee will stand. Illinois Not Considered. The defeat of Illinois yesterday at the hands of the United States naval reserve, altho not unexpected, does not add to tho prestige of the Illini. Hope had practi cally been' abandoned for an Illinois-Ne braska Thanksgiving fray.

Altho the Urbana school has never given definite reply to the Husker proposal. It is under stood that other plans for Turkey day already have been made. From present indications, Northwestern should prove a better drawing card than Illinois. The latter school was defeated by the Great Lakes. Iowa also fell before the sailors.

Should the Buskers defeat Northwestern, they will not only wipe out the Iowa de feat, but will toko high rating in the 1018 football almanac. If the Northwestern management ac- cepts.thft Thanksgiving datei It is probable that an invitation will be extended to the soldier team of Camp Funston to meet Nebraska pn the local field on November 23. This arrangement would give the Huskers the following most excellent schedule: Nov. 2 Notre Dame at Lincoln. Nov.

ft Missouri at Columbia. Nov. IS Kaunas at Lincoln. Nov. 23 Funston at Lincoln.

Thauksgtviug Northwestern at Lincoln. Notre Dame Saturday. Altho the schedule Is worrying' the management the Huskers themselves sre worrying over nothing but Notro Dame. This Is enough to compel undi vided attention from coaches and plasters. No game on the schedule will attract more attention east and west.

than this struggle to be staged on Husk er field next Saturday. To thousands of football fans over the state. Notre Damo has been and always will be big game. Tho desperato struggles of other years have given the public a right to expect nothing short of a repe tition this Nebraska would rather beat Notre Dame- than nnyolher team In the country. This feeling is mutual between the two schools.

Both give early promise of exceptional ability. On papqr, Notre Dame has me edge, one aon ior- get that these Huskers havo been coming with a-mighty rush and that the team Is vastly superior to the aggregation of greenings that faced Iowa. The interest in next Saturday's gamo apparently- is to be very nearly as intense as the In terest of other years. Fans have not forgotten thai thrillingSO Jo 1 struggle of 1915 which Nebraska won. In Notre Dame came back with a 20 to 0 victory and last year tho Huskers were returned winner, 7 to 0.

Arrangements have been mado to give Nebraska two stiff workouts before the big game. Wesleyan will be the opponent in a practice game Tuesday and Cotner will furnish the competition hi a scrimmage Wednesday. NAVY SPOKT rnOGRAM.

Their verdict will have far-reaching efTecta and the various officers and other representative of th utiton are collecting data in order to be prepared to meet theae laauea aquarely and lalrly. Among the subjects that are to be considered are rvaviutloua barring; from all national churnpluiiahiit same, athletes of for-cisn affiliation and the suttus of an athlete after war, who during the hosttlltl" occupied a poaltlou a coach. Instructor or physical dlructor at a cantonment or with tho service unit atrvad. The question of iillotlng the various championship merle at this meeting instead of later in the eeaaon will aieo come up for decision. Of these the most important is undoubtedly the olio bearing on the amateur status of the athlete who during the war has accepted pay for acting In the capacity of instructor or recreatiou director at a servic cump.

Willing to Strike Out Past. Mr. Brogan said he was willthg to agree with Mr. Webster thaT thls proposition must be submitted at the ensuing election, and he asked that that part of the decree below which suspended the law be stricken out The grossest piece of political fraud ever attempted is that committed In this matter by circulators, which he described in detail. The only question before the court, if It has Jurisdiction, is whether the decree is sustained by the pleadings.

A valid petition only should be permitted to suspend the law, and the court below. In Its findings of fact, held it Invalid. Mr. Doyle submitted a number of cases in support of his contention. He said that when the statute conferred on the women of the state the right to vote It was something more than political right they obtained; itfbecame a h-gal right enforcibh by law.

if given a right by law they are entitled to demand pro- lection inrthat right, and legal capacity to sue as they did in this case. He said that all of Mr. Webster's citations, as this court had once held, apply to cases where no statute existed that conferred rights. Ho also challenged Mr. Webster's claim that only the attorney general can bring such a suit.

Ill this Very case ho- appears -ar-ttw other side, the secretary of state, and could not plead fraud and deny it in the same case. The courts have a right to supervise referendum petitions and say if they are sufficient or not. He pointed out that the secretary of state had not appealed, on any technicality, when the fact of fraud had been established, and was willing to be en-Joined. A law, he said, cannot be made by fraud that nobody has a right to attack. If the law is submitted under the facts shown it affords a convenient opportunity for unlimited fraud the court is asked to sanction, and amounts to a repeal of the referendum law.

SOCIALISTS PASS KES0IUTIONS. Favor. Uivlng Labor Representation at Peace Negotiations. NEW YORK. Oct 26.

Resolutions opposing any armistice with Germany ex-cepP such provides ample military guarantees for the carrying out of the peace terms laid down by' President Wilson in his "fourteen principles" and subsequent addresses with those laid down by tho London memorandum of the entente socialists on February 22 were adopted here today by delegates to a conference called by the administrative committee of the social democratic league. Tho delegates, who described themselves as "socialists who still adhere to the original socialist principles with the exception that they approve the war and support President Wilson and the government in their war aims," also passed resolutions calling on all socialists to withhold their votes at the coming election from congressional candidates, "who are not unconditionally pledged to these terms." Another resolution was adopted supporting the recent demand of the American federation of labor that labor be given represcntalon at the coming peace negotiations. The delegation also went on record as congratulating Dr. Karl Liebknecht and his associates "upon their courageous stand for a democratic republic in Germany." Another resolution adopted urged cancellation of the debt of America's allies "but only on condition that they also consent to cancel the dept of Russia to them." Russia's release from her debts would enable her quickly to take her place as a strong democratic nation, friendly to the democracies, while payment of tdebt by Russia would mean "economic servitude for a number of years," the resolution declared. REPUDIATING THE LOOTING German Glib Liar, But Same Stories Come From Different Polnts.TZT.r.

AMSTERDAM, Oct. 23 Weather beaten "refugees, mostly from the north of France, are tricking into the Dutch provinces of Brabant and Limburg. Some 2,000 are now accomodated in towns in these provinces. About five per cent are ill from over fatigue or Influenza and arc being cared for In hospitals and convents. Distressing stories are told about the old people and babies who died from exposure on the way and were burled where they died.

Further westward no exodus has yet taken place. In view of the German disclaimers of looting by the retreating troops, it is significant that Dutch correspondents at a half dozen different points on tho frontier should tell the same story, obtained from refugees. "The Germans stole everything they could lay their hands on." a citizen of Bruges said to the Rosendaal correspondent of the Mass-bode. In the last few days the Germans have looted stores Indiscriminately. One officer demanded that a city official surrender his carriage.

LONDON'. Oct. 26. (ISrltish Wireless Service.) Tho German armiea should not be considered As definitely and finally beaten, military observers here here say. Allied soldiers who are fighting their way forwmd In the face of great enemy rcslstanre know that the enemy is not beaton and that much heavy fighting probably will have to be faced.

At the snme time reliable reports continue to reach Ixindon of Increasing dlsatisfactlon among the German soldiers. This dissatisfaction and lack of discipline has led to actual mutiny In many cases. Several drafts of raw soldiers have refused to go to the front In -the last three months ajd they have been taken there by force in batches. German ships should be set free after the war 'to extend their share of the world's carrying trade and so profit by the loses which their government by by means mainly piratical had inflicted upon the ships of ths allies." This plan Is urged upon the British government in a resolution adopted by the council of the chamber of shipping of the United Kingdom. The council points Out that heavy losses have been suffered by shipping companies at the hands of the Germans.

Half of Germany's shipping Is declared to be In neutral rother ports, and Germany may have added to It by construe tion or purchase during the war. W. E. BARKLEY, Prest. LINCOLN SAFE DEPOSIT COMPANY 126 North 11th St.

uib ui uiug win 1 1 Li uu lliui time or money on the litigation, and this will permit the temporary Injunction to be transformed into a final one. In that case the women will have the ballot, as the referendum will be no longer of effect Lawyers said last evening that if the women desired to vote at the coming election, it would be possible to test their right to do so by one of them offering to register, and being refused institute a mandamus case and get a supreme court decision before election day. What Harm, Asks Wsbster. In spite of the fact that Judge Flans-burg of the district court had found that so far as the case had gone suinclent fraud had been proved to invalidate the referendum petition filed by the anti-suffrage association of the state suspending the law giving women limited suffrage, John La. Webster of Omaha, representing the an Us asked the supreme court Saturday to allow the referendum to go on the ballot.

What harm will it do? he asked. I "If the people of the state, in the exercise of their reserved power to legislate for themselves under the Initiative and referendum," said he, "are permitted to vote upon the statute at the ensuing election aad to either adopt or reject it, as the case may be, no public wrong will be committed. The sovereign power of the state will not be impaired and the mandate of the constitution will bo obeyed." T. J. Doyle, who appeared for the women suffragists In their suit to enjoin placing the referendum on the ballot, said that great harm would result Mr.

Webster, he declared, was substituting expediency for principle, always a dangerous thing in law or government The de cree of the trial Judge says that all the presumptions are that this referendum is a batch of fraud, and thus far this is ad mitted. Yet the antls come into court and say that the proper party has not pointed out the fraud, that those who lose a legal right to vote if the referendum is rejected has no standing. He said that this would be tantamount to allowing a lot of mountebanks to deprive the women of a right conferred upon them by statute. "It is a monstrous propositions-lie said." "It has no place in. and no sanction or support in law." lr.

Doyle pointed out also that the antls have no more standing lh court tho they had committed or countenanced the fraud, which is not charged. Three Points Raised. Mr. Webster raised three points. These were that the women have no legal capacity to sue and that the suit could onlv be brought in the name of the state byl mo uiiuiuey general Decause the proposition concerns all the people; that the constitution is mandatory and that if the proposition is not submitted at the next election it never can be, and that the plaintiffs were guilty of such delay in beginning and pushing the suit that they have no right to complain of an adverse judgment, since also that delay constituted legal acquiescence in and approval of the referendum petition.

His argument was an amplification of these points. He attacked the power of the district court to postpone the referendum for two years more since tho suit could not be finished in time to submit It this year. He insisted that this was adding to the constitution, which says that the proposition must be submitted at the next ensuing election, to the effect that if a court issues an improvident order it shall go over two years. He said this was the case of a court amending the constitution, a power It doesn-t possess. Mr.

Webster further argued that if the order of postponement were acquiesced in the submission of it In 1920 or any other date could be successfully enjoined. He said that this was a final order of the lower court, altho not so In form, because it leaves nothing more to litigate, and therefore Is properly before the court. He quoted the law to show that the lawmakers desired a speedy hearing on all matters connected with the referendum by its various limitations on filings and appeals, and that tho delays of the plaintiffs should lose them the case. Judge Sedgwick mildly asked if tho Wtis were to blame for any of the delay rr If they had tried to hurrv It 11 Mr Webster said they had not done so, but that was not their business. His clients cculd not be blamed if the other side had frittered away their rights.

He said that in their petition they gave no reasons for their delay in beginning the suit, and that this was necessary. A Direct Issut. F. A. Brogan, for tho suffragists, said they contended that the Order of Judge (uinuuri was noi a anal one, and therefor the supreme court had no Jurisdiction.

But if it were conceded that it has jurisdiction it must do in this case as in others where the trial court has made a finding of fact and that la to adopt these tndlnfs. regardless of what its conclusions of law are. That finding was that sufficient evidence had been produced to show fraud and that the valid names left upon the referendum petition were Insufficient to sustain it. He said that while the plaintiffs were charged with knowledge that the Vefer-endum petition had been filed, they were not charged with knowledge of the fraud it contained. The antls had paid the men circulated the petition, handled them day after day as they were handed in and had examined them.

The question of whether plaintiffs were guilty of laches had been determined by the lower court, which had full knowledge of the caae, and that constituted a finding of fact upon that question. Mr. Brogan said that It was true, aa the lower court said, that an Immense amount Of time had been consumed In bringing the case to tral. and he listed lb various motions of the sntl that consumed much time and required Hit, preparation of many aiore pages of al FARM MORTGAGE INVESTMENTS Farm mortgages in the past five years have stool the tost chareiiie financial conditions better than any other form of investment.
