D1TE SET FOR THE ELECTION
Mayor Dahlman Decides Bees Petition
for Commission Is Sufficient.
ELECTION ON SEPTEMBER SECOND
After Conference with the City LEGAL
Department the Mayor Decides
The Bee's Interpretation of
Law a. Correct.

The commission form Of government Will
be submitted to Omaha voters September =
Mayor Dahlman has decided that the petit
tiun circulated by The Bee and now in the
hands q the city clerk is a sufficient indi-
cation, within the law. that the people
want the question put before them. This
decision was reached after conferences
with the city legal department. and the
mayor decided upon a course in accord
with The Bees Interpretation Of the law,
which was that II was not stated any
where in the statute that the city clerk is
petition before the mayor could order the
election. 1t is known that the petition con-
talns over 5000 names. or 100 more than
are necessary City Clerk Butter said
Wednesday mornings CHANGING over the
petition would convince nybOdy that it
has been signed by men who are legal
voters, as 80 many of them are well known
citizens"
September second the Date.
The mayor decided upon September as
convenient time because It will give
month for consideration and will come just
before the first new registration, which Is
made September 5. He thought at first
OF fixing the registration day for the cleo
ton. but as the saloons are not closed on
registration day he would be saving nothing
to them, and the question would i'm
mediately arise as to wheth the eIigibil-
tty OF voters wss TO be determined by the
new or old registration. Fixing It on Sep
TENDER 2. gives every voter now Registered
a chance to vote without further trouble
I Il am satisfied that the issuing of an
election proclamation il to a great ex-
tent discretionary with the mayor" said
Mayor Dahiman, land I am satisfied with
out checking over by the city clerk that
the petition is sufficient. II anybody has
any objections he can. as The Bee has sug-
gested. require some names to be checked
when the petition was filed and need none

The mayor does not deny that he will be
a candidate for the commission and be-
iieves that the commission viii be estab-
lished-
Il will probably run as a candidate for
the commission he said. unless some
thing should intervene to change my pres
ent ideas. am well convinced that the
voters will want to try the new kind Of

SOCIETY
GIRL TO TAKE VEIL
Miss Marie Hirst of Philadelphia Abandons Plans for
Brilliant Debut to Enter Ssterhood- Horse
Show Favorite.

PHILADELPHIA. Aug 23.-Miss
Marie Hirst, daughter Of A. A, Hirst,
widely known and popular in Main Line
society, whose formal DEBUT had been
scheduled to take place the coming win
ter, is preparing to enter u convent at
Albany, and take the veil of sisterhood.
With Mr.. and Mrs. Hirst she left this
city a week ago last Sunday, telling this
but her closest friends OF her intention.
Ostensibly she departed fol- q trip
through New York State. The news
that the coming debutante was to ac-
cept the veil came as a surprise to
many in her wide circle of friends.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hirst are expected back
In this city the latter part Of next week.
They will remain in Albany Until their
daughter Is installed in the Convent Of
the Sacred Heart, where sne will be-
come a novice for a certain term prior
to taking the veil of sisterhood for life.
A Horse Show Devotee.
Miss Hirst is a sister-in-law of the
former Miss Marion Holloway, wife of
her brother, William Hirst. Like her
Miss Hirst was fond of
horses, and was a frequent attendant
at the society race meet and horse
shows about the city.
She was known in Main Line society
as a lover Of athletics, and was one of
the most skillful women automobilists
in this city
Recently Miss Hirst spent some time
In Baltimore as the guest of Miss Nc
Ilroy, q close friend, after which she
went to Atlantic City. 1t was not un-
til quite recently that she made known
The Washington times., 1911-08-23

her intention to forsake society for the
quietude of the nuns life.
Brilliant Debut Planned.
Elaborate preparations for debutante
ball had been contemplated by Miss
Hirst's parents, although they had not
passed beyond the tentative stage.
Friends of Miss Hirst had been looking
forward to her entrance into society
with considerable pleasure, and II was
planned to make her debut one OF the
most brilliant of the coming winter.
Those among her friends to whom had
been given some inkling, of Miss Hirst's
intentions, however. say she had shown
q prediction for the life of a nun
for several months, and, while she kept
her thoughts to herself, she seemed
more and more to tire OF society.
Suited to Quiet Life.
Miss Hirst was educated in a convent,
and her friends say the quiet calm Of
the sisters who instructed her had made
a great impression on her character
and personality.
The fact that their daughter would
shortly take the veil was kept a pro-
found secret by Mr.. and Mrs Birst,
and only those who were told by Miss
lIirst herself knew or thought that she
would not return to society.
Those who have known her well and
been closely associated with her In her
athletic activities declare she is en-
inently fitted both by nature and train
Ing for the life she has chosen.
Others. who saw only the light
surprised to hear that she had given
up the things that had taken up prac-
tically all Of her time since she left
he convent.

Glacial Records Swept
Into Alaskan Stream

According to dispatches from Cor
dova, Alaska, all field notes, cameras
and exposed films collected by the
Geological Survey glacial expedition
during the last year lie somewhere
at the bottom of Big Delta river.
While the records can be replaced, II
will cost the Government a lot Of
time and extra expense to do so.
I'VE have not heard officially of the
mishap to the glacial expedition" the
chief clerk of the Geological Survey
said today, but I suppose the dis
patches are true, for the men in the
field often encounter such accidents,
in Alaska. and occurrences
of this sort have been a big item of
expense to the Government. Those
streams up there run so fast that last
year $500 was actually washed out of
the pockets of one of the survey en-
ployes when his boat was upset in
the swift stream"
According to the kilograms, the rec
ords were being taken to fairbanks
by wagon, and were in charge of
Profs r. F. Starr and Lawrence Mad
dern. Both men escaped.
