COSSON RED LIGHT
LAW rs ILLEGAL
So Decided Judge Brennan In Test
Case at Des
Moines.

DES MONIES, Aug. 1.-THE law
passed by the Iowa legislature several
years ago. forbidding the segregation
OF immoral houses in cities of Iowa,
better known as the Cosson red light
law, was declared unconstitutional by
District Judge Hugh Brennan here.
In doing so the court sustained a
demurrer in the case of Mrs. Maurice
Lynch. filed by her attorneys to an
application for an injunction brought
under the Cosson law to close her
home on the ground that 1t was a dis
orderly house.
Attorneys for Mrs. Lynch attacked
the validity of the law on the ground
that the speaker of the house failed
to attach his signature to the enrolled
bill. that the law permits the confisca
ton of property without due process
of law and jury trial, that it is pos
sible to convict upon mere hearsay
evidence, and that the law seeks to
make things nuisances which are not
nuisances in themselves.
The Cosson law was drawn by At
torney General George Cosson, who
announces that the case will be ap
pealed. If the decision of the lower
court is sustained every city in The

REORGANIZATION
OF REPUBLICANS
Senator cummIns, Who Supported
Roosevelt, is Anxious Now
for Harmony.
Especial to The Gate CITY. /


WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. IL
Senator Cummins seems to be quite
content upon adopting some line Of
action which would result in what he
calls the reorganization of the repub-
lican party, to the end that harmon
;ous relations might be established
between those persons who supported
the republican nominee for the presi-
dency at the polls in 1912 and those
who supported Theodore Roosevelt,
nominee of the progressive party The
senator was in the latter class.
The senator still is of the opinion
that this reorganization could be &C.
complished by national convention
that should agree upon the future
policy making the state the unit of
representation in all national con.
ventions hereafter to be called, In
stead of the state and congressional
district, as has been the rule since
the republican national convention OF
1880 and the basing Of representation
upon the number of republican votes
cast in the respective states, instead
of twice the number of senators and
representatives in the respective
states, as has been the rule since and
including the first republican national
convention.
The first method suggested was

Brilliant Army Officer Retired.

WASHINGTON Aug. 11.-Brigadier
General William H. Bixby terminated
a brilliant army career today. He
was voluntarily retired as major
general after an army record dating
back to 1873. And he retired earlier
than the required age limit In order
that brother officer, Col. William T.
Russell, might have the honor for a
time of serving as chief of engineers
Colonel Russell was near the age limit
and had General Bixby remained in
the service until being retired invol-
unfairly, Colonel Russell would have
been retired in the meantime as a
colonel. With General Bixby's volun-
tary retirement Colonel Russell today
becomes a brigadier general and will
be retired at the next highest grade.
Bixby made a remarkable record for
efficiency as chief Of the engineer
corps OF the army He has been con-
nected with numerous big river and
harbor improvements all over the
country.

HOW TO KEEP COOL
ON S1.4O PER DAY
Vacation on House Boat by Riding
Back and Forth on the Ferry
Boat.

NEW YORK, Aug 11.-House-boat-
Ing all summer for only $1.40 day is
something that sounds almost incred-
IDLE to the New Yorker, unless he
knows how 1t is done. The simple
scheme was explained by a young
Harlem wife and mother. She told
how all summer long she had big
roomy houseboat for herself and the
baby, with big wide verandas looking
out over the Hudson, and most of the
time in midstream where 1t was cool
est, all for less than dollar and a
half day.
1t all came about because her hus-
band was sick all spring. He had lost
SO much time with sickness that he
could not himself afford to go away
for the summer, and the wife would
not leave him alone. 1t was the little
girls second summer and she needed
fresh air.
"One morning." said the young
matron, Il had finished my marketing.
1t was very hot and baby was tired
and a little bit cross. l looked over
a few blocks and saw the Fort Lee
ferry. l got the idea that a river
ride might help the baby and we
went on board. The child fell into a
peaceful sleep, and she was sleeping
SO soundly when the boat returned
from the Jersey shore, that I made
another round trip.
THAT gave me the idea. calcu-
lated that to ride on the boat from
ten o'clock in the morning, when my
work and marketing was all done,
until five in the evening, when Jack
came home, would cost only $1.4O-
one round trip at ten cents every f1f-
teen minutes; twenty cents an hour;
S1.40 a day. That really was not a
bit extravagant, when thought how
much a vacation would cost with rail-
road fare. board. and everything else.

two thermos bottles of milk for baby,
a luncheon for myself, and took along

TELLS HOW HISTORY
BEARS OUT PROPHECY
w. K. Smith Addresses Large Aud
fence Sunday Evening, Using
Charts.

I'm the records of the Bible, God
has foretold the coming of the Unit.
ed States, has outlined the course OF
its history and has predicted it's flu.
ture,' said w. K Smith, last evening,
to one of the largest crowds ever as
sembled at the tent in Kilbourne
park. Ills subject was, THE United
States in Prophecy and he used a
number Of charts illustrating the
lecture. He took his text from the
thirteenth chapter of the book of
Revelation. Mr.. Smith said in part:
There are many reasons why we
might expect our own nation to be
considered in prophecy. There has
never been a nation which attracted
more attention from the great minds
|of earth. excited more wonder on ac-
count Of its form of government, or
given greater promise of world wide
eminence than the United States. The
conditions under which our nation
was founded are also peculiar to the
United States alone. It's originators
established the government for the
express purpose of having a place
where they could have a voice in the
making of their laws, and where they
might worship God according to the
dictates of their own conscience. But
the prophecy says that he (the second
beast which refers to the United
States) should exert all the power of
the first beast before him. That first
beast we find to be the papacy which
is the only power which fully an
swers the description of this beast.
The prophecy declares that this first
beast, the papacy, was to continue
forty and two MONTHS or a period of
1860 years leach day representing a
year,. History completely bears us
out in this belief for period Of lust
1860 years elapsed between the setting
w OF the papal power in 536 A. d. and
the breaking of its power In 1898
when the French took the pope pris-
oner. This period of 1860 years is
commonly spoken of among historians
and the Dark Ages. Just at the
close of this period the prophet sees
another beast, or power, arising out
OF the earth. Since waters in proph.
ecy are used as symbol OF people
and nations Grew. '17:15) the earth,
when used as a symbol must mean

just these conditions which existed

one observed in all republican con.
ventions prior to that of 1880. In
that convention change was ef |
tected after bitter struggle. The |
friends of General Grant were In the
majority in delegations from the
states OF New York, Pennsylvania and
Illinois, and II the state should be
regarded as the unit then all Of the
delegates votes from these states
would be cast for Grant, making his
nomination assured; but If the dis
trict were to be the unit, thus giving
certain delegates unfavorable to Gen.
eral Grant the right to represent their
district constituents, uncontrolled by
the majority of delegates In the state,
then Grants vote would fall short OF
majority in the convention. The
nomination of General Grant, there
fore. depended upon the decision of
this question. With the state the
unit. he would win; with the district
the unit, another candidate was prob
able.
Conkling was the boss in New
York. Cameron was the boss in Penn.
sylyania. Logan was the boss In
/ Illinois. 1t was fight between the
bosses on one side and the people
on the other.
The convention changed the rule in
order to defeat the bosses. A nat
ural question now being asked is, do
the bosses now desire to re-establish
the obnoxious, offensive rule?
The second proposal of Senator
Cummins Is not new. For many years
efforts have been made to induce the
national committee in its call for the
national convention to base repre-
sentation upon republican votes cast
In the respective states In 1900,
1904 and 1908 many individuals and
newspapers urged this upon the ma
tional committee. Mr. Cummins was
a member of the national committee
In 1900 when that body was urged at
Its meeting In Washington to adopt
this action. Again this action was
urged In 1904 and 1908. In every In.
stance the then president was under
stood to be opposed to the change and
:. it could not be effected 1t is not of
record that Senator Cummins favored
this change when he was member
OF the national committee.
I Republicans now are instructed by
Senator Gummins that upon the basis
of these two changes of policy, the
Reorganization Of the republican
} party may be accomplished These
two propositions of the senator simply
involve matters of policy: no question
of principle is at stake. If the sena.
tor from Iowa is correct in this opin-
ion, then why, republicans ask, why
all this spirit of hostility that has
separated the great republican party
into two warning camps? Why this
division of the vote whereby Wood.
row Wilson, having million less
, votes than the combined vote Of
Roosevelt and Taft, is elected
, president, and the policies OF
the government which had
4 brought about most marvellous con-
ditions, radically changed?
