i o S dtiaci e S TR 18 . Rohts, SOLONS NEED NOT FEAR FOR LIVES State Engineer Will Timber Representative Hall in an Effort to Make It Safe. OPFOSE DIVIDING HOUSES (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Nov. 26,—(Special.)—Rep- hall will be ing legislature and it will ssary to move to the city resentative for the cc not be Auditorium, Thete has been some discussion whether the legislature could legally meet outside the state capitol build ing, but neither the constitution or any law passed indicates where the sessions shall be held and outside of stipulating Lincoln as the seat of gov- ernment, no provision whatever is made as to where the legislature shall meet. Section 5911 of the statutes prohibits moving any fixtures in the legislative halls outside of the build- ing and if followed may require the state to purchase desks, chairs, etc., for the use of the lower house if the session should be held downtown The legislafive reference bureau act reads that the legislative refer- ence bureau during a session of the legislature shall be in close proximity of the legislature. This could not be done if- the lower branch was down- town several blocks away and the up- per branch in its usual place. Little Fear Felt, However, there is no fear that the members may be buried in the ruins of the state house after the state en- gineer has completed his repairs, The danger was that if the walls con- tinued to spread the floors would drop down, as only four inches of the floor timbers rest on the walls at the cast end. Further spreading is almost impossible, because of the heavy rods running through the building under the floors, placed there a few years ago, when the old shell made safe | Robs Girls Selling Tags for Hospital Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 26— When two young society women selling tags for local hospit- als approached a man on a busy corner here yesterday and so- licited a gift he seized their coin bag and ran. The fugitive was caught after a chase of several blocks in which pedestrians joined, and the boxes with their load of silver contributed to charity were recovered. NEBRASKA GATTLE ARE HELD IN K. C. Thirty Suspected of Infection With Foot and Mouth Disease. COME FROM CHASE COUNTY Kan, Nov. 26.— Thirty cattle shipped here from Chase county, Necbraska, are being held in quarantine in the local yards under suspicion they are afflicted with foot and mouth discase. Live stock commissioners of both Kansas and Missouri have placed embargoes on out-going shipments of stock from the Kansas City yards until the exact na- ture of the disease is known. Inspectors of the United States Bureau of Animal Industry now have the suspected cattle under observa- tion. Some of the cattle show signs of a sore mouth, but there is no other symptoms of the disease, fed- eral officials said. The cattle came from the high plains of western Ne- braska, near the Colorado line, where the foot and mouth disease is not known, Embargo at St. Joe. St. Joseph, Mo., Nov. 26.—An em- bargo on outgoing shipments of cat- tle, hogs, sheep and horses from the Kansas City, was first discovered to be out of plumb. Timbers Being Used. In order to make the hall safe heavy timbers are being placed across un- der the floor sills on every floor of the building, and also under the roof. These will be held up by heavy tim- bers running from the basement up, while in representative hall big tele- phone poles will be used to hold up the floor above. Poles will be used because of the height of! the ceiling no timbers could be found lonfi enough to reach. When complete: this will make it impossible for the floors to fall even should the walls fall outward, which is- not probable with the weight of the floors' trang- ferred to the timbers. Of course, representative hall will not be a beautiful place to look at with the telephones polls standing around the south side and part way along the east wall with heavy cross- bars spiked to them to hold them in place, but these crossbars may be handy in case lobbyists get too per- ‘ sistent, Exciting Downtown. Separating the two houses so that they are half a dozen blocks apart does not appeal to ‘those who are anxious to make a good record this session. Much. time will be wasted traveling back and fourth, while with one session down in the business por- tion of town there will be a tendency for members to get away, while a busy street car.line running on two sides of the Auditorium will inter- fere a great deal with the transaction of business, because of the noise of passing cars, both lines being double track. The cost of fixing up the old wing 50 it will be safe will be less than $1,000, while the delay because of the distance between the two houses will cost several times that in time wasted.

Lincoln, Nov. 26—~(Special.)— A large number of delegates from clubs representing the Nebraska Fed- eration of Music, visited the city yes- terday. Eighteen towns, including Omaha, Alliance, Fremont, Norfolk, Grand Island and Rushville, cent delegations, while Lincoln and its suburban towns were well represented. Mrs. W. D.

B —— .\ Colds Need Attention, trary, both General Manager Bucking- f | bi St. Joseph stock yards was imposed late today following discovery of symptoms of the foot and mouth disease in_a shipment of cattle in the Kansas City yards. The shipment went through St. Joseph, it was said, and the animals were fed and watered here. The embargo is thus far purely a precautionary measure as no symp- toms of the disease have been dis- covered here. Stock may still be shipped to St. Joseph for slaughter purposes. Local yards' officials stated last evening that no word had been re- ceived either from Topeka or Kansas City officials, regarding the rumored afflicted Nebraska cattle. On the con- ham and President James Bulla of the Nebraska Sanitary board, were in- clined to regard the report as un- founded.

Worked Among Poor. Aside from her college activities, she worked among the poor children in the city of Poughkeepsie, and had herself appointed court probation of- ficer. During her first college vaca- tion she visited London and there joined the Pankhurst suffragettes, making several speeches and being once arrested. N During the 1908 presidential cam- paign she won new fame as “the girl who broke up the Taft parade.” While the parade was being held in New York City, she stationed herself in a window and shouted: “Votes for Women!” through a megaphone. Some of the marchers fell out of the Earnde and gathered around her to ear her make a speech for the suf- frage cause. ollowing her graduation from Vas- sar college, she attempted to enter Harvard law school, but this permis- sion was denied her on the ground that it was not a co-educational insti- tution. The incident gave rise to a heated newspaper controversy in which Inez Milholland and other prominent feminists took part. She also became active about this time in the working girl's cause, taking part in the shirt waists makers' strike. In a clash of the strikers with the police she was arrested and locked up, but after a controversy of several weeks the charge against her of leading an unLlwful assembly was finally drop- ped. Received Degree in 1912, Miss Milholland finally received her degree in law at the New York Uni- versity Law School in 1912, and dur- ing this time she was active as a suf- frage worker and speaker and organ- izer of woman's parades, being fea- tured in them both in New York, Washington and elsewhere as “the most beautiful suffragette.” At elec- tion time she was always a watcher at the polls and was among the women who went to Albany to de- mand of the legislature woman's rights to vote. She began the practice of law in 1912 as a clerk in the offices of James W. Osborne, her first case being the defense of “Red Phil” Davidson, clurgcd with the murder of “Big Jack” Zelig. Her next case was the defense of Gee Doy Yung, accused of murder in a Chinatown tong war, and she was successful in obtaining his acquittal. In July, 1913, she married by a civil ceremony in London, Eugen Boisse- vain, a wealthy Hollander, to whom she had beer introduced by William Marconi, inventor of wireless teleg- 1aphy. She returned to this country and continued her practice of law and suffrage activities, In 1915 she was | denied permission to make a suffrage speech at the fiftieth anniversary cere- monies of Vassar college. Later the same year she went to ?nly as a war correspondent and was forced to leave Italy by the authorities there because of her pacifist writings. In 1916 she went as a delegate on the Ford peace ship, but left the party at Stockholm because, as she said in a statement, “the undemocratic meth- ods employed by the managers are repugnant to my principles.” Mrs. Boissevian was born in New York, August 6, 1886, receiving her early education in New York, London and Berlin. She was a member of the Political Equality league, Women's Political union, national child labor committee, Woman's Social and Po- litical Union of England and the Fabian society, England.

RYAN DESCRIBES LATEST IN LIGHT Mlumination Expert at Pana- ma-Pacific Exposition Shows 8ystem of Lighting. THIS AN ERA OF LIGHT The wonderful illuminating effects of the Panama-Pacific International exposition were revealed to an au- dience in the Auditorium Saturday evening by Walter D'Arcy Ryan, chief of the department of illumina- tion of that exposition. He flashed upon a large screen colored stereopti- con slides of rare beauty. The night scenes of the exposition were shown in every detail of architectural design and color schemes. Mr. Ryan ex- plained that an artist worked a year coloring these slides. Frequent ap- plause was given by a delighted gath- ering of men and women. One of the striking features of the evening was the presentation of slides showing the rainbow effect of light projected by a giant scintilator of 2,600,000,000 candle power. “I want to impress upon you the fact that the illumination of these great buildings was accomplished by diffusing the light without any glare, or revealing the lamps, which shed the light,” explained Mr. Ryan. Some of these effects depicted by the slides | aroused enthusiasm. City Adopts Standards. Incidentally Mr. Ryan showed interesting views of the exposition during the early stages of construc- tion, and also scenes of destruction of buildings by dynamite. He told how San Francisco used the light standards of the exposition for the streets of the city, and ten months from the time the exposition was closed San Francisco held a Path of Gold celebration to mark a new era of street lighting in that city. | The new street lighting of the Gold- en Gate city was shown. “There 1s considerable activity these days in matters of street light- ing. People are appreciating the value of artistic light standards in daytime as well as at night.” e said this is an era of light, and well-ligh!ed cities are the rule in these days of progress and municipal competition and pride. He showed various types of standards used in several western cities. The entertaniment was held un- der the auspices of the volunteer committee of one hundred, which was organized in the interests of bet- ter street lighting for Omaha.
