DEATH OF PETER BROOKS OCCURS TUESDAY NIGHT Aged Man Passes Away Several Years of Illness Came Here From North Dakota. FOUR YEAR TERM NEBRASKA LEG! LATORS BE Constitutional Amendment Debated At Length, But Find Very Few Supporters. With but a few members support ing II. U. 154. which proposed to submit a constitutional ann-ndinent increasing the terms of members of the legislature from two years and a lawmaking cession only once in four years, it vcnt to its doom in commit tee of the whole house Tuesday morning. The bill also nrovided that half the members should be elected every two years. A debate in which many members took part, although but briefly, preceded the taking of the vote. Those favoring it urged that the more experience a member had tho better for the state, while the ar guments against it ranged from the expense of taking a referendum to the assertion that this pecking away at the constitution ought to stop. Someone raised the point that the constitutional convention had the matter up and decided against it. Mr. Byrum explained that this had never been before the convention, but that the proposition was argued .out in committee and killed there, lie said that one argument against it was that it kept in office too long a wrong mm, and that if he -was a crook he became a bigger crook as time passed. It was also urged that the older members would be able to override new members elected on a specific live issue. Mr. Landgren, also a member of 1 the convention, said that the pro posal had been killed in committee ; Personally, he thought that a first ' termer was not of much use to the people. Others urged that if the ! people wanted a man a second time i they had a chance to elect him again. In explaining the measure, John- Fon stated that the plan was to elect ' 1 rvirifl r t in ill O 11CHO I rnqTITIfVP I Tl 1926 with the understanding that if the referendum, proposed for sub mission at such election, carried, those elected from odd numbered districts would serve four years ! while those from the even numbers ! would serve but two years. ! Those in favor of the plan insisted that experience has some value even j among legislators. Two years ago, i Mr. O'Gara stated, there were some i eighty new members who took con- j siderable time in being accustomed j to the routine of the thing. "A-legislator is bound to be more valuable during his second term than during his first term," said Barbour.

From Monday's Daily One of tho largest masquerades of the season was held on Saturday evening at the T. J. Sokol hall in the west part of the city and the occa sion proved a very pleasureable one to all of the large crowd that was in attendance. The variety of costumes was one of the best of the season and up to 10 o'clock the maskers held the cen ter of attraction and many were the guesses as to the identity of the dif ferent parties on the floor but it was not until after the unmasking that this was learned. The judges of the dance awarded the first prize of the ball to Mrs. Clyde Hart as a gypsy girl and the second prize was captured by Clif ford Stoehr in the role of a vamp of 1925 and in which ho scored a dis tinct triumph. Miss Grace Pilney as Miss Valentine received the third prize of the ball. While the crowd was very large, everyone had a fine time and the dancers and spectators alike enjoyed the time to tho utmost.
