' rnulon tlty Officials
There,
Steps are to "be taken at the meeting to
n!(;ht of the Federated Improvement clubs
of the city to submit to the voteM Of Coun
cil Bluffs the proposition of the adoption
of the commission form of government.
Attorney V. H. Klllpack, at the Invitation
qf President L. U Poston of the Federated
Improvement clubs, will address the meet
ing on the subject, "The Commission Form
of Government.'- . . " '
Announcement has been made by Its ad
vocates, thai the movement for cqmmlsslon
government will be definitely launched at
tonight'! meeting. They believe that now
Is the right time to get busy so that the
proposition can be noted upon hy the voters
before the city election In March. In the
event of the movement being successful, a
nayor and four councllmrn will be elected
next spring Instead of the present list of
eity officials.
In order to have a special election called
and the proposition submitted to the voters,
It will be necessary to secure a petition
Kigned by electors to a number equal to 2S
per cent of the total number of vote cast
for all candidates for mayor at the last
preceding city election.
The petition will require about 1,308 sign
era, as at the municipal election In March,
IMS, Thomas Maluney received 2.S44 votes
and R. B. Wallace 2.30!). With the filing
of the petition with the required number
of signers, the mayor has no alternative
but to call a special election at some sped-I
fied date within two months from the date
of the filing of the petition. If the proposi
tion to adopt the commission form of gov
ernment carries, the officials provided
under It will be elected at the regular
municipal election In March of next year.
The meeting tonight is also scheduled to
discuss the proposition of diverting Indian
creek and the- water works problem. Coun
cilman Carl Morgan has been Invited by
President Poston to handle the Indian creek
matter and Councilman J. Chris Jensen has
been selected to address the meeting on
the water works question.
M1MSTF.WI Al,
ACTION
AIRED
Council Illnffn Scientist Do Not Like
reabody Kngaaremeat.
' Frederick W. Peabody, an attorney from
Boston, who was engaged in the litigation
against Mrs. Eddy, head of the ChrlstLa.1
Science church, lectured Saturday to an
audience which filled the auditorium of
the First Baptist church. He announced
his subject as "Christian Science Eaposed"
and the lecture all through was a bitter
attack on Mrs. Eddy, her followers and
the Christian Science church In general.
Mr. Peabody said he had traveled from
Boston to San Diego, up the coast to
Spokane, and Is now traveling back across
the. continent giving leotures against Chris
tian Science In every city In which he
stops. From here he will go to St. Joseph
and. from there, to Kansas City, speaking
In both cities.
There has been considerable criticism
over the action of the Minlstrlal associa
tion Inviting Mr. Peabody to come here and
lecture agalnat a church which lncludos
among Its membership In Council Bluffs
many of the most prominent eltiiens, both
men and women. The board of the First
Baptist church haa also been criticised for
offering the use of its building to hold the
lecture In.
"What would the people of this city have
said If w had Imported a lecturer to
attack in the same bitter language that
Mr. Peabody used last night any one of the
other church denominations?" asked a
leading member of the First Churoh of
Christ, Scientist, of this city, last night
while discussing the propriety of the
Ministerial association In inviting Mr. Pea
body to Council Bluffs.
MAYOR MALOMflY WILL ACT
Ho Intends to Posh Indian Crook
Plana.
Four new petitions requesting the city
council to take the preliminary steps In
the proposition to divert Indian creek at
the northern limits of the city were placed
In circulation Saturday by members of
the Fifth Ward Improvement club. The
newr petitions were readily signed and
Mayor Maloney stated last evening that
the required number of signature would
be obtained In time to present the new
pctttlona at the meeting of the city coun
cil next Monday evening. ,
"I Intend to go right ahead with this
matter," declared the mayor with con
siderable vigor of speech last evening.
"I am not the in the least discouraged by
the action of tho special committee last
Monday ar I waa confident It would do
Its level beet to shelve the proposition. You
can ay from me, however, that this mat
ter will not be shelved and I Intend to push
it as far as the law will permit. 1 am
fully convinced that diversion of the creek
at the city limits is the only feasible so
lution of the flood problem."
Taylor's Bolt Contlnned.
The case of J. M. Taylor aealnst the
North American Accident Insurance com'
pany and others has been continued by
agreement to tha January term. It haj
been assigned for trial on next Wednesdays
and was expected to be one of the big
cases of the term. Tha continuance is due
to the illness of Clark Varnum of Chicago,
associated with Flicklnger Bros, of this
city as attorneys for the plaintiff. The
suit was brought to set aside a consolida
tion of the National Masonic Accident In
surance company of Des Moines with the
North American Accident Insurance com
pany of Chlca&'o. Taylor sued on behalf
of himself and other members of the Dea
Moines company. He alleges that the sale
of the assets of the Des Molnea company
was consummated by the officials of the
company, and that it could have been
legally dono only by the members them
selves. The appointment of a receiver is
asked.

Mrs. Pankhurst
Opens: Campaign
in Washington
American Women Told British Meth
ods Mast be Used to Get Hear
ing from CongTess.
WASHINGTON. Nov. .-"Man will never
be nh'.e to solve satisfactorily the great
social. Industrial and other problems of
civilisation with the co-operation of the
women through the cxircT.s of the elective
franchise." declared Mrs. Emeline Pank
hurst, the English "suffrapette" leader, in
an address at the old Masonic temple here
tonight, in which she made a strong pica
that American women be given the right lo
vote. Before an audience composed mostly
of women, which taxed the capacity of the
hall, Mrs. Tankhurst, following an address
of two hours on "Why Women Want to
Yote. submitted to a rapid-fire of Inter
ruptions by n.en and women on Various
phases of the suffrage "cause."
"Do you think that an American woman
will ever be president?" asked a woman In
the audience.
"That Is the ipost extraordinary question
I have ever had put to me," replied Mrs.
Pankhurst, who paused for some time be
fore answering. "That Is a question," said
she, "which you American women will have
to decide for yourselves."
As a prelude to her remarks, Mr. Punk
hurst stated that she came here to bring a
message of encouragement from English
women, whom she eald are trying to win
their political emancipation. Mrs. Pank
hurst traced the history of the suffrage
movement in her own country, declaring
that American women would have to admit
whatever they thought of the campaign of
their sisters In England, that they had suc
ceeded In pressing this question to the very
forefront of British politics. .
"We who are responsible," said Mrs.
Pankhurst, "are Just as much in earnest
about our political freedom as were your
forefathers when you fought your revolu
tion. It in a civil war that we are carry
ing on. with feminine weapon. We cannot
fight with guns, but we can by Intolerable
noise."
Mrs. Pankhurst made reference to some
of the demonstrations of the suffragettes
on the house of commons. She told her
audience that they, too, would have to
adopt similar measures to win their fight.

Although wall known to the great Ooaa
clal leaders, un n .' ,'
in the great benevolent works of the day,
his way of doing business and of doing
good waa so quiet that the public heard
little about him. Many of hla great bena
factlona probably never were made public,'
but ha figured In recent years aa th giver
of th $300,000 home of the United Charities
in this eity, of 1, 000,000 to the Presbyterian
hospital, $280,000 to the flchool of Philan
thropy, $aOO,0O0 to Columbia university and
$400,000 to a nurses' home for th Prrty
terlan hospital. -
Many, even among the well Informed, had
little idea a to th real wealth of th rer
tired banker. Early this year an interviewer'
waa sent to the banker's house on his birth
day to ask if he had any tl.OOO.O.O gifts lo
announce In honor of his anniversary.' "No,
sir," exclaimed Mr. Kennedy, with tru
Scotch sobriety, "I'm giving no money away
today. It pretty nearly cleaned me out
when I gave that fund to tha hospital last
October."
