SOLONS NEED NOT
, FEARJFOR LIVES
State Engineer Will Timber
Representative Hall in an
Effort to Make It Safe.
OPPOSE DIVIDING HOUSES
(From a Staff CorrMpondTil.
Lincoln, Nov. 26. (Special.) Rep
resentative hill will be made safe
for the coming legislature and it will
not be necessary to move to the city
Auditorium.
There has been some discussion
, whether the legislature could legally
meet outside the state capitol build
ing, hut neither the constitution or
any Imv passed indicates where the
sessions shall be held and outside of
stipulating Lincoln as the seat of gov
ernment, no provision whatever m
made as to where the legislature shall
meet. Section 5911 of the statutes
prohibits moving any fixtures in tht
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 legislative 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 awav 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 bouse 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 east 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
was first discovered to be out of
plumb.
Timbers Being Used.
In order to make the hall safe heavy
timbera 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 oft the ceiling
no timber! could be found long
enough to reach. When completed
' this will make it impossible for the
floor! to fall even should the walls
fall outward, which is- not probable
with the weight of the floors' trans
ferred to the timbers.
Of course, representative hall will
not be a beautiful place to look at
with the telephones polls standing
around the louth 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 dozen block! 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
so 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.

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

shot-put at 31 feet, SSJ, inches.
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

tion she visited London and there
joined the Pankhurst suffragettes,
making several speeches and being
once arrested.
During the 1908 presidential cam
paign she won new tarn as the gin

the parade was being held in New
York City, she stationed herself in a
window and shouted: "Votes for
Women I" through a megaphone.
some of the marchers tell out ot the
parade and gathered around her to
hear her make a speech for the suf
frage cause.
Following her graduation from Vss
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 msti
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
tne cnarge against her of leading an
nniawtul assembly was finally drop
ped.
Received Degree in 1913.
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 taw in
1912 as a clerk in the offices of James
W. Osborne, her first case being the
defense of "Red Phil" Davidson,
charged 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 telcg
uphy. 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 01 vassar college. Later the
same year she went to Italy 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 atocxnoim oecause, as sne said in
a statement, "the undemocratic meth
ods employed by the managers are
repugnant to my principles."

RYAN DESCRIBES
LATEST IN LIGHT
Illumination Expert at Pana
ma-Pacific Exposition Shows
System of Lighting.
THIS AN ERA OP LIGHT
The wonderful illuminating effect
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 scmtilator
ot Z,6U0,U00,000 candle power.
"I want to impress upon you the
lact mat 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 exoosition
during the early stages of construc
tion, ana 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.
ine new street ugnting ot the uold
en Gate city was shown.
"There is considerable activity
these days in matters of street light
ing. People are appreciating the
vaiue or artistic light standards in
daytime as well as at nieht."
He said this is an era of light, and
well-lighted 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 ot one hundred, which
was organized in the interests of bet
ter street lighting for Omaha.
