At the meeting of the committee at noon T. F. Sturgess and Rabbi Cohu, members of the Welfare hoard, and Superintendent Schreiber of that board -appeared and called attention to some of these weaknesses.” They asked that the committee, the Com- mercial club and various charitable and public-pirited organizations in the city co-operate to arrive at some so- lution of this problem. ! It was pointed out that the fa- cilities are not adequate to care for the tubercular people of the city and county at the county hospital. It was also pointed out that if segrega- tion were compulsorr a means would ve to be provided for caring for the amilies of persons so segregated, be- cause in cases where the infected per- son is head of a family he eften con- tinues to-work and be a wage earner as long as he is physically able. If segregation were compulsory, his earning power would be cut off early. Whisky-and-Soda Scarce in Sweden (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) Stockholm, Oct, 8—Great Brit- ain's export prohibition on whisky has moved Swedish dealers to take account of their stocks, with the re- sult that they have found that six months more will about see the end of the available supply. In no first-class restaurant in Stock- holm can whisky-and-soda be had for less than one crown, or about 2814 cents at the present exchange rate. Some places charge as much as 1.30 crowns, or 36 cents. 7 High grade liquors—particularly certain brands manufactured by monks—are scarce and dear. The same is true of French.cognac and French wines, which have increased wholesale from 25 to 40 per cent. This is due in large part to a scarcity of bottles, not only in the countries of origin, but also in the diminished ca- pacity of Swedish glassmakers, since a great lrlrl of the liquors and wines imported is brought in in Swedish bottles. ) No shortage of Swedish punch, the so-called national drink, threatens. It may become necessary, however, to drink in November and December some punch not rroperly aged, on ac- count of the difficulty the manufac- turers experience in getting sufficient sugar., l " Obituary Notes l g MICHAEL J.

Trading centered largely around secondary rafls, industrials and spe- clalties. prominent and strong ralls Included Chi- cago Great Western, Texas Pacific and Colorado, Southern and Toledo, St. Louls & Western. Rock Island and Denver & Rio Grande preferred were relatively heavy, presuma- bly on profit-taking.

One of them struck him with a club, and he was thrown down and painfully injured before the American Vice- Consul, M. G. Faulkner, was able to rescue him from the mob. . The Americah consulate has brough: the assault to the attention of the Jap- | anese consul-general in Mukden.

B. Leeder of the Phoenix Construction company, the man ‘who helped build the big subway in New York City, says the proposi- tion of building a tunnel or subway between Omaha and Council Bluffs is entirely feasible. He was before the special bridge committee of the Commercial club at noon and went over the blue prints and sketches pre- ared by Bertschy, the garage man, or such a tunnel. The tentative plan is for a 3,000- foot tunnel, with a 4 per cent grade either way from the middle of ‘the river. No'definite action has as yet been taken, as the bridge commit- tee is open to all possible suggestions before it goes on record definitely on the matter of getting free traffic be- tween Omaha and the lowa town.

GROSS FRAUD IS ALLEGED Des Moines, la, Oct. 26.—Attor- neys acting in the interests of the prohibition forces throughout the state today filed a petition. in the Polk county district court asking that the special election of June 5, 1916, be set aside and that the defenflants in the suit be enjoined from publish- ing the results of the election in the state journal, as the official and cor- rect results 'of the election. The suit is brought in the name of Mrs, Ida B. Wise-Smith, state presi- dent of the Women's Christian Tem- perance union, Defendants in the suit are as follows: The- executive council of Iowa, George W. Clarke, governor; W. S. Allen, secretary of state; F. S. Shaw, auditor; W. C. Brown, treasurer, -ex- officio members of the executive coun- cil; A. H, Davidson, secretary of the executive council, and Ora Williams, as document editor of the state. Hammond Explains Move. According to a statement issued to- day by John B. Hammond, a local reformer, who is co-operating with the plaintiffs in the suit, the petitian is for the purpose of safeguarding the special election on the adoption of an amendment to the state constitu- tion providing for the. insertion of a permanent prohibition amendment in the constitution of the state of Iowa. This election, it was pointed out, would be held subsequent to the adop- tion of the amendment by the state general assembly at the coming ses- sion in January. Mr. Hammond said information at his disposal indichted that ‘there was no doubt that the amendment would be adopted when the legislature meets. The petition filed today specifically charges irregularities in the conduct of the election of June § last, at which the amendment to the consti- tution providing equal suffrage. for women was defeated by an over- whelming majority in forty-four of Affidavits presented with the petition set forth specifically that in many counties no record was kept by ’fi. the ninety-nine counties of the state. % % |county auditors of «ballots delivered to ‘election officials or returned. In 50 pex cent of the counties, it is al- leged, precinct election officials kept no record of thé voters, who received special election ballots. In others, it is asserted, no registration was pro- vided for or required, and in many cases, the petition states, more votes were cast for and against the suffrage amendment than there were names registered on the poll books. Petition is: Long. The allegations assert that in one precinct in Story county only forty- eight pames appeared on the poll books, no record was kept of the AMUSEMENTS, American two hours’ performance, as any one In the audience. fectly natural like you or I almost Iorgot to tell you about It’s too bad that William cur him when the. circus came to heet showed that on 407 votes were ssued and a tal in the special ele | cast. Other alleged violations of the elec tion law were made in the petition { through affidavits which covered 124 |closely typewritten sheets. 1t was ;asser!ed by attorneys for the plain- tiff that no city or county in the state was enirely free from alleged -viola- tions. Gives Suffs Another Chance. Attorneys for the plaintiff empha- sized that today’s action is in no sens: an attempt to bring about adoption of the amendment to the state consti- tion providing for equal suffrage. They asserted that it is merely an cf- fort on the part of the advocates of state-wide prokibition to safeguard that amendment against the alleged “fraudulent practices perpetrated at the time of the defeat of the suffiage amendment.” However, it was pointed out that if the district court upholds the 'contention of the plaintiff and throws out the election and if an af- firmative decree ts handed down by the supreme court in the event of an appeal, that the result will"be that the suffrage amendment will occupy the status it did prior to the election of June 5, and that the people of the state may be given an opportunity to vote on the amendment again with- out waiting for five years to elapse and - without the adoption of the amendment by the'state legislature, as provided by the statutes in the cas¢ of the defeat of any constitu- tional amendment. \ It was explained that the action was broug\hfit in Polk county because the state capitol is located here and the officials named as defendants have their residences here, and in this case the Polk county district court will have jurisdiction over an election effecting the entire state.
