LECTURE
INTERESTING
Proportional Representation
Government Discussed
at Meeting Friday.

c. G. Hoag, general secretary of the
Proportional Representation league,
of Philadelphia. delivered a very in
teresting and instructive address at
the city hall last night, on "propor-
tional representation"
MIR. Hoag, who has for some time
devoted himself entirely to this work,
spoke first Of the necessity Of repre-
s%entation to the success of democracy,
and showed that under the ordinary
system of majority. elections. large
groups of people are often left entire
ly without representation, as in the
congressional election in Indiana in
1912, when a minority of the voters Of
the state elected all thirteen Of the
members of congress-. Other illustra-
tions of a similar nature were given.
Proportional representation, as de-
scribed by the speaker, is intended to
remove this condition. and does SO
very effectively. 1t is applicable to
cases in which several members are
to be elected at large. In those cases
each voter is entitled to vote for one
candidate as his first choice, one for
his second choice, and so on down
the list. BY a method of transferring
second choice votes which is peculiar
to this system it is made certain that
every element of considerable size in
the community will be represented in
the elective body, and that the rep
resentation will be practically in pro-
portion to the strength Of the group.
The lecture vas listened to with un-
usually keen interest. 80

Emerado Burglary Reveals
Keen Appreciation of Val
ue of Black Diamonds.

Simon Ness and Frank Phifer APP
peared before Justice of the Peace
Phil Mclaughlin this morniig, charg-
ed with burglary in the third degree.
The case against them was continued
until February IL, and in default of
$500 bonds the two men were sen to
the county Jail.
Ness and Phifer We're arrested yes
te,rday at Emerald and brought to
this city by Sheriff A. l.. Turner upon
information that they had broken in
to the house of Mohamod Mahamod
in that town while he was absent.
1t is alleged that the two men stole
various valuable articles such as for
instance a clock, a gold ring with
diamond setting aid about one-half
ton of soft coal. The removal of the
coal lent color to the suggestion that
the. men had revealed a very keen APP
probation of the value of the black
diamonds since they classed them
with other gems worthy enough Of
being appropriated.

diers.
The major was downcast by the
catastrophe but was proud Of his
troops.
IF they behave as we'll in France
as they did on the Tuscania," he said,
there is no doubt about the outcome
Of this war"
Too much praise cannot be heaped
upon them for their calmness in the
face of disaster at sea, which two
thirds of them had never seen before.
One marked result of the disaster
which was noticed by the officers was
the improved discipline of the men.
Before the disaster they were lax in
saluting, but after the torpedo struck
the ship groups of privates asked the
officers to tell them what to do and
they did it like highly trained soldiers.
1t was as if the disaster had made
them realize hat discipline is import
in the grim business Of war in
which they r engaged.
Throughout their stay on shore
here. the officers displayed a fine
spirit by giving up their rooms in the
hotels to the poorly clad privates.
The behavior of the men here has
been exemplary. One of the first acts
ny lie dudlOTllleS aILer consulting
with the American officers was to
close all saloons during the stay of
the Americans. 1t was thought best
to remove temptation from the tired,
dazed men. The town council provid-
ed amusement for the men in special
moving picture shows and last night
gave a concert in. the town hail.
A remarkable experience in the dis
aster was had by a Georgia private
who was confined to bed with pneu-
monia when the torpedo struck the
Tuscania. The Georgian. rushed or
deck clad only in a union suit. An
other soldier gave up his coat to cover
the sick man who was lowered into q
life boat and soon found himself or
a trawler where he sat ON a wind
sweDt deck for hours. When he was
landed here he felt so fully recovered
from his illness that he could not be
induced to go to the hospital. T.

TRAWLER RETURNS
zen

An Irish Port. Feb. 9.-(By the AS
sociated Press)-A small fishing
trawler returned to this port yester-
day without the 142 Americans 1t set
out from here to take off from the
barren northerly shore. which the
Americans had reached in three life
boats IA hours after the Tuscania was
sunk by a German submarine.
The skipper Of the trawler told the
British commodore here hat the
American captain in charge Of the
party refused to embark his men; on
the trawler because the little vessel
did not carry life boats sufficient to
hold the troops in case the trawler
was ~torpedoed.
This party. according to the captain
of the trawler, consists Of two cap
tains and 40 men who reached the
shore a short distance from the point
where the bodies Of a. Americans
were washed up yesterday. The
trawler had made a perilous journey
to reach, the Americans. The sea was
choppy, but the trawler kept her
course until she reached the point
where the Americans are marooned.
On the arrival of the trawler the
British authorities sent a larger
steamer to bring the Americans to
Glasgow. This vessel has sufficient
life boats to take are of the men In
case it should U afoul an under
water boat.
