RESUBMISSION LllD AWAY
Iowa House Makes Short Work Of the Pro-
hibition Resolution.
SURPRISE THE COLD WAFER COHORTS
Matter Brought tp and DccisiNcly
Disposed OF Despite The Oh
lection and Protest of Funk
of Hardin.

DES MONIES, Feb 27.-tSpec.al.) Re
submission was killed today. Strange as !.
may seem very few representatives we're
aware that the matter was coming UP at all
and hardly single member had any idea
that vote could be reached without two or
| three days discussion. Mr.. Funk had re
| queste1 the member having the matter in
! charge to let IL rest for the present. Mr.
Brighton, chairman Of the committee on con-
| st!tutional amendments thought the matter
| lad better be gotten out Of the way, and it
was at his suggestion the issue was brought
| TO final settlement.
The fight over the resubmlssion question
was preclpitated by Representative Double
day of Polk, the author of the resolution,
who moved that it be now taken up and
put upon it's passage. Funk asked why
this resolution should be taken up now,
to the exclusion of other important business
"The resolution can be called up at any
time," said Speaker Byers, and Mr.. Funk
sank back in his seat THE question is,
shall the resolution pass" continued the
speaker. "All in favor Of its passage will
say aye
"Allen," rang out the voice of the clerk
There was no response. BY this time a
dozen members were on their feet asking to
be heard.
Mr.. Doubleday was recognized ana sent to
the clerks desk and had read communca-
tion from the secretary Of state to the eff
feet that the legal conditions had all been
| complied with, and then said that as others
desired to speak he would withhold his re-
marks.
1.-The gentleman had better speak now,"
the speaker said in a warning voice.
Mr.. Doubleday then proceeded to say that
he thought all the members had made up
their minds how they intended to vote and
sat down.
"The clerk will call the roll" again re-
peated Speaker Byers.
Allen" was the response.
NO" shouted the member from Van
Buren, who had been counted as favorable
to resubmission, and the roll call was on.
When Funks name was reached he arose
and protested against what he called the
| snap judgment taken on the reslbmissionists
| and voted ave.
Mr.. Ray said he would protest with his
vote against what he thought was the irreg-
ular manner of its being taken up and would
vote aye.
No further Interruptions followed. The
| announcement of the roll call Al to So, was
Immediately followed by motion to recon-
slider the vote just taken by Mr.. Lauder and
that this motion be laid on the table.
II hope the latter motion will not prevail
| interposed Mr.. Bell.
| Debate is out of order" came from Speaker
| Byers "All in favor of will say aye"
A tremendous volley Of ayes followed.
Opposed will say nay" and an equally
loud response came back from the resub
| missionists THE motion prevails" said the
speaker, and resubmission was dead.

HOTEL MANAGER MISSING
Ogden House Employees Slightly Disturbed
by F. A, Farleys Absence,
CREDITORS ARE NOT VERY UNEASY
A0nirs of the Institution in Good
shape and Not Threatened by
the Irregular Conduct OF
the Boss.

A couple OF the chambermaids at the Ogden
house engaged an attorney yesterday to sue
out wrts of attachments TO secure their
unpaid wages, amounting to about SIS. This
action called attention to the fact that Man
ager +. A. Farley, who has had charge Of
tho hotel fer the last month, has been absent
since Sunday, and that his absence has
caused good deal of uneasiness among the
employees and other creditors. Sunday after
noon Manager Farley called Clerk Stewart
up to his room and told him that he was
going to Des Mones for the purpose of rails
ing money to meet his obligations, aud that
he would be back on the following day. or
on Tuesday at the furtherest. On Tuesday
evening telegram was received from him
dated Cedar Rapids in which he said he
would return on Wednesday with plenty of
money. The fact that he did no. appear
Wednesday and had not shown up or re-
ported yesterday increased the uneasiuess felt
around the hotel This was not allayed by
the discovery made by the clerk that Farley
had taken all cf the cash from the drawer
at the time Of his departure, and had also
collected s65 on Sunday afternoon from one
of the boarders, and that he had not paid
any Of the current weekly bills.
T.. T. True, one of the owners Of the hotel
building, was unable to throw any light upon
Mr.. Farley's absence any further than TO
| assert that Farley had been talking for some
time about getting the lease of the hotel from
Mr.. Clark and running it himself. The lease
was made during December to Mr. Clark, a
well known hotel man Of Des Moines. He
managed the business affairs of the hostelry
for some time. and then, as his hotel cares
| at other places were pressing heavily upon
| him, installed Mr. Farley as manager on a
salary. Farley has kept the house up to a
L;,,I, ord Nd lar saI C
patronage. His absence, beyond creating
some little apprehension, has not interfered
with the even progress of the institution, eX-
cept making it a little unpleasant for the
creditors who expected their money during
the first Of the week.
True notified Clark of the situation on
| Wednesday, but had not heard from him up
| to last night. The patrons of the hotel and
| the employees all express the hope that Far
| ley will return and straighten out matters.
| Under the lease Clark is held responsible for
| all the debts, and as he is reputed to be
| financially well fixed the creditors who have
| been pressing their claims are not as anxious
| as they were two days ago.

deputy FTHhk FOW1tr KcsfEns.
Immediately after reporting for duty at
the Office of the city marshal yesterday morn
ing Deputy Marshal Frank Fowler rendered
his resignation, to take effect March /, next
Saturday. 1t was peremptory and absolute
and was accepted.
Mr.. Fowler began his career as an officer
OF the city by an appointment as special
policeman by Mayor Groneweg in 1888. Since
then he has served continuously as a police
man or deputy marshal. 1t was asserted
yesterday that his resignation was forced by
the marshal and deemed necessary for polit-
cal reasons But all such assertions and
stories are contradicted by the fact that
Fowler has been contemplating a change Of
business for the past six months. Marshal
Canning has not named Fowler's successor,
and probably will not until after elect on.
Deputy Marshals Anderson and Peterson will
do the work in the meantime.
