Resolution Against
Biennial Election

A number of citizens met In the Bran
deis building and. with f. F. Forbes as
chairman. have promulgated the follow
ing resolution in order TO secure its
publications:
The biennial elections amendment
should be voted against in the primary
Friday. April o. This Ia particularly true
because national Issues which come be-
fore the people every second year would
be mixed with the Initiative and referen.
dun questions. Bad results In many
ways may be expected from this condi-
ton.
Even those who have the welfare Of
political party ORGANIZATIONS at heart
might dread 10 see such a political mixup
as the biennial elections amendment will
bring
II would throw all the candidates of
our present two annual elections on one
ballot. This would make forty or more
offices TO be filled and from 100 TO 1Jo
candidates names to be printed on the
ballot. besides the initiative and referen-
DUN questions.
Ii would be very difficult to select
good county and judicial officers under
the stress and strain Of such biennial
national elections.
Unless the biennial elections amend
ment is defeated. good laws passed by
the legislature would be referred to the
people in many cases, as has been done
In South Dakota. with the purpose OF
defeating them or putting them out OF
effect for nearly two years until the next
general election.
The principal Of biennial elections is
good, but the short ballot is needed first.

MRS. GALLAGHER ON TRIAL
UPON CHARGE OF ARSON

The trial OF Mrs. NJ. 4. Gallagher, In
dicted upon the charge ,,at she set fire
TO the Gallagher house, which she was
operating. and attempted to burn 1t on the
night Of September . last, was begun In
the district court yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. Gallagher Is accused OF having at
tempted to destroy the building for the
alleged purpose Of securing the insurance.
The evidence OF Fire Chief Nicholson,
Assistant Chief HitchcocK and Deputy
State Fire Marshal Fisher was taken be-
fore adjournment Of court for the day. The
fire was promptly extinguished before the
building was damaged TO any great ex-
tent. and the firemen told Of the situ-
alton by the subsequent inspection. They
said the fire had been iocated in the
kitchen In the extreme rear of the build
ing and In the patior in the extreme front
and that there was no connection between
the two fires. They testified that there
were no evidences of burned clothing
trunks and furniture claimed to have been
destroyed.
Deputy Fire Marshal Fisher related his
discoveries when he Investigated and
told OF the statements made by Mrs. GAL
lAsher concerning the total loss and hts
subsequent discovery Of a trunk and
some grips in a railway freight house.
where they were consigned for shipment
The fire occurred while Mrs. Gallagher
and her daughter were uptown attending
the street carnival and moving picture
shows.
The case Is being tried TO a jury COM
posed largely OF business men. including
former Park Commissioner Frank Peter
son. Mrs. Gallagher is being defended
By FINLEY & Mitchell. VINO are confident
Of their ability TO show that she had no
responsibility for the origin Of the fire.
The case Is attracting much interest for
the reason that It Is the first case OF the
kind TO be prosecuted unee- the amended
laws concerning incendiarfsn. where the
newly appointed fire marshal appears as
the chief complainant. and also for the
reason that the first victim. unfortu-
nately, is a woman

purpose now is TO enforce another section
OF the state law designed for the better
ment OF the environment Of employees.
This relates to adequate toilet facilities
for men and women.
The Law is very explicit and requires at
least one toilet for every twenty en-

In factories mercantile establishments.
workshops And mills adequate washing
facilities shall be provided for employees:
ana when labor performed is OF such
character as TO require change OF cloth

shall be provided a dressing room and
lockers for keeping clothing and afford
ing washing facilities separate for each
sex. and no person or persons shall be
allowed TO use the facilities assigned to
the opposite sex. A suitable supply OF
water Tor drinking shall also be provided .
Another section OF the law makes II q
serious offense to permit obscene writing
or marking in such places.
Inspector Shannon said that the condl-
lions in Council Bluffs were far abov,
