ROWDY DANCERS
To Face TRIAL
ELEVEN CHARGED WITH DIS
TURBiNG PEACE WERE AR
RESTED SATURDA Wight

The Saturday night dances in the
building known as Frys hall, corner
Church and Ward streets, which have
been the source of annoyance and dis.
gust to the peace-loving residents aud
business men near the place, receiv-
ed a serious check Saturday night,
when eleven of the dancers were ar
rested by officers Holland, Lightner
and Shreeves.
1t is not the first time that com
plants have been lodged against the
character Of the gatherings, but it
was the first time that arrests were
made wholesale. Apparently no re-
strictions whatever are placed on
those wishing to join in the dance.
Saturday night the dancers got drunk
earlier than usual, it is alleged, and
were not content to stay in the hall!
Several of the men and women
drunk and cursing, were out on
Church street insulting all within
hearing distance. One of the neighbors
'phoned for the police and later, w. A
Work, who is agent for the building
sent Captain Mat Mier over and dis
persed the crowd.
Go to west End.
The crowd then took the street ca.
and proceeded to the west end Of thc
city and continued the dance" in tEt
new building recently erected on tho
site of the old Black Diamond store
Neighbors there complained of the
noise and disorder and the three Off
GERS made the arrests.
| Myrtle Sampson and Ida Ash, bette
known as eide Skinner" were the tw.
girls caught, and the men were 10;
Berry, Charles Green, Ralph Durham

A bill in the senate by Smith looks
to providing a way by which the state
may dispose of some of the suits

failure to comply with the laws. At
present the attorney general has no
alternative but to go into court and
either win big sum or lose all, and
frequently the magnitude of the sums

Senator Peterson is at work on bills
with view to improving and lettering
the primary election law. AS was an
ticipated it was not perfect bill that
was passed at the last session and
material changes will be needed. One
OF the most important of the improve
ments is that OF securing uniformity
in size and general appearance of the
primary ballots and reducing the cost
Of printing The state executive coun-
Gil found when auditing the bills
for the state has to pay half of the to-
tai eXpense-that there was wide di-
versity of cost, some counties paying
what seemed to the council to be
exorbitant prices, 1t is believed a
change can be made that will lessen
the cost. 1t is probable, also that the
entire cost will be given to the coun-
ties, so that the bills will receive
closer attention,
1t Is not clear as yet whether any
plan can be worked out for SO chang
ing the official ballot as to eliminate
the discrimination because of alpha
betical precedence. Some of the
senators estimate that this advantage,
especially on parts of the ticket, is
| worth from 10 to 20 per cent of the
vote to the candidate who happens
! to be first on the ballot If there Is
any reasonable way of reducing this
advantage it will be done. The sena
tors are at work on this matter now
There seems to be very little senti
ment in favor of going back to the old
style in the matter of having circle
on the ballot at the November cleo
ton. 1t is pointed out that this would
only add to the confusion because il
June we would vote in the squares
only, then in November with the cir
Gle. Senator Bennett of Taylor intro
duced the bill to restore the circle
The chief argument for it relates tt
the trouble had this year over thu
names of candidates for president ant
vice president being printed on tn
ballots-4but some of the members sa,
there is no law for putting the names
of candidates for president on the bal
lots.

Senator Sammis is preparing a bill

shall be handled by the CITY author
tiles to be used in road work within
the municipality. When the road bill
was passed few years ago this was
discussed and it was supposed to have
been fixed that way, but conflict has
followed and in some places the courts
have held that the county authorities
can handle this fund. The senator
from Plymouth also has plan for a
bill to authorize repairs on sewers
curling, etc, the cost of repairs to be
chargable, to the property.

A bill introduced by Brandes of
Pottawattamie would make more uni

officials shall take Office. Some of
them now go into Office the first day
of the year, others the first Monday

official terms commence the first

mean on New Years day except when
that day is Sunday. In the case OF

time set when they shall take Office.
