Norwegian Freighter Puts

Fire in ForehoId, Where nom Com

Of Long Series Of Mysterious Blazes
on Vessels Leaving American Ports
For War Zone-Sygna to Be Doeked
and Cargo Examined.

New York, Jan. 22.-Mystery sur
rounds the fire which forced the Nor
wegian freight steamer Sygna to put
back to this port today after having
sailed yesterday for Archangel, Rus
sia, with a large consignment to the
Russian government. The fire boat
William J. Gaynor met the freighter
at quarantine and after quantities OF
steam had been turned into the
Sygna's fore hold, from which clouds
of smoke were pouring when she
reached port, it was believed the fire
was virtually under control.
Officers and members of the freight
er's crew said that, so far as they
knew, no explosion preceded the fire,
but they were unable to offer an ex-
PLANTATION of how the blaze originated
in a hold which they said contained
only structural steel and railway ma
terial. When asked if there was evil
dence indicating that the fire had been
of incendiary origin, the officers said
that it was too soon to make an IN
vestigation."
No Fire When Ship Sailed.
Members of the Sygna's crew, who
covered the hatch Of the forehold yes
terday, said there was no indication OF
fire when the freighter sailed and that
it was early yesterday evening before
one of the watch saw smoke seeping
from around the hatch. The cover was
hurriedIy taken off and while no flames
could be seen. a great quantity Of smoke
rose from the hold. q
The Sygna will be docked, partly un-
loaded and thoroughly examined to de-
termine the cause Of the blaze. IL
could not be learned whether the ves-
sci had any munitions aboard.

which have occurred on vessels shortly
after they sailed from this and other
American ports with munitions or sup
plies for the allies. In numerous cases
lit has been found that the fires were
caused by bombs or fuses. but several
cases have gone unexplained at least
so far as the public has been concerned.

Des Moines, Jan 22.--Des Moines
will have a municipal court and dc
away with the present Justice cour,
system. The supreme court ruled to-
day that the municipal court bill was
legally adopted In the recent election
BY this ruling the court also upholds
the legality of the street car franchise
election.
Municipal judges will be elected next
spring, at the same time as the city
councilmen. The street or franchise
probably will be accepted by the COM
pany, and six fares for quarter will
go into effect early next week.
Women's Vote Legal.
The principal point in the case just
decided was whether women were le-
gally entitled to vote in the election. 1t
was the vote Of the women which gave
the proposition bare majority. The
franchise Of the street car company
was affected by point raised in re-
gard to the legality Of the registration
for the special election. This election
was held Nov. 20 last and almost i'm
mediately afterward petition to re-
strain certifoation by the canvassing
board was filed before District Judge
Hubert Utterhack by J. F. Anderson
and F. J. Younkers, local tax payers.
Five Points at Issue.
Five points were at issue in the case
all directed to the alleged invalidity OF
the special election. These points were:
First, that voting machines were re-
quired to be used at such special elec-
ton; second, that the election was in.
valid for the reason that no booths
were provided and that therefore there
was no secret ballot; third, that women
were not entitled to vote at such an
election; fourth, that the office Of JUS
tice of the peace is a constitutional Of
flee and can not be abolished by act of
the legislature; fifth, that the voters
who voted at said election were not
properly registered and that the entire
election was illegal and void.
Special stress was laid upon the
questions of women voting and Of reg
istration. The proposition was carried
In the November election by majoritS
Of only f1fty-six votes and the ballots OF
women were necessary to make up this
majority. Judge Utterback ruled
against the petitioners on al the points
they raised. He declared that women
had a right to vote because the munic-
ipal court question involved the rails
/ ing of additional revenue from taxes.
Case Unique in Court Records.
Judge Utterback decided against the
petitioners, who appealed.
The case is said to have established
an unique record in litigation before
EIowa courts, In less than two months
from the date~ef> the election the con-
troversy has been finally adjudicated
| by the highest court in the state.
