BALLOT SLACKERS
IN HOLLAND FINED
Voting Compulsory for All
Men and Women Over
rs Years Old.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
AMSTERDAM. August 1.-THE gen.
eral elections just concluded In Hol-
land failed to shake the coalition gov
eminent.
Voting was compulsory for all men
and women more than Is years old
Those who failed to perform this ele-
mentary civic duty were subjected to
fines.
Radio was used extensively. after the
fashion of the American and British
general elections campaigns, and seven
women were elected to the Lower House.
A remarkable feature about the cleo
ton was the large number of miniature
parties, there being SO in the field, as
compared with 80 parties four years
ago. The total number of electors on
the Dutch rolls is just under 100000,
and they were offered ga candidates
for the 100 seats in the Second Cham
Der of the StateS-General as the Par
lament is called This meant that
there was an average of six candidates
for each seat.
Coalition Government Survives.
The vote proved clearly that the res
toration of party cabinet was not pos
sible at this time with so many small
parties advocating such a diversity of
interests. Therefore the coalition gov
eminent continued in Office, there hav-
ing been a change of only two or three
seats in Parliament as result of the
election.
An examination of the composition
of the Lower House parties and the
number of seats they hold now as COM
pared with the 1925 election. as we'll as

Executive power in the Netherlands
Is vested in the sovereign. Queen Will
helmina, while the legislative authority
is held Jointly by the sovereign and
Parliament. The Upper House consists
of so members, elected by provincial
states; the Lower House of 100 men,
bers, elected directly by universal suf-
frage.
COLLAPSE Followed by Crisis.
In November. 1925, during the debate
on the foreign affairs budget, the Lower
House. with the help of the Christian
Historicals, rejected the expense money
for the Dutch legation at the Vatican.
The Right coalition collapsed and a
lengthy ministerial crisis ensued,. In
March, 1926, after many attempts, a
coalition cabinet was formed under the
leadership of Jonkheer DR.. de Greer. 1t
embraced Anti-Revolutionaries. Chris
tian Historicals. Catholics and Liberals
This group has 81 votes in the new
Parliament, exactly the same as in the
old.
But under the system of proportional
representation existing in Holland
there is no joint policy Of the coalition
Instead, each party acts independently
In propagating its own particular creed.
Another result of proportional repre-
sentation has been the elimination Of
bye-elections. If a member dies, or re-
signs, his place Is simply taken by the
next candidate on the particular polit-
zeal list. It is impossible, however, for
candidate to obtain election on a minor
1ty of the total votes cast, as Is often
the case In the United States and Great
Britain.
Another peculiar feature Of Dutch
procedure is that members Of the cabi-
net need not necessarily be Deputies
In fact, most of the ministers are not
members of the Chamber.

CHECK FORCER MUST
SERVE PRISON TERM
Man Who Passed Forged Checks
on Springfield Merchants
Year Ago Loses Appeal

Hilliard Barnard, who with Joseph
Cuddy passed forged checks on the
Aftermath, Miesen and Pen stores in
Springfield year ago last December.
must serve his prison sentence.
The state supreme court sustained
the conviction of Barnard of Good
Thunder, who was sentenced to st.
Cloud reformatory by Judge Albert
H. Emerson after trial in Brown coun-
ty district on a second degree forgery
charge. Barnard who was tried joint
ly with Joseph Cuddy of Mankato,
was charged with having passed a
worthless check for $16.50 at New
Ulm, written on the Morton, Mimi,
bank, March IL, 1928. Indictments
were returned concerning the Spring
field forgeries also.
Barnard and Cuddy, who last win
ter were making headquarters at Cob
den, and passing worthless checks at
various points throughout this sec
ton of the state were arrested at
Morgan, when the suspicioned pair
were recognized by local parties, and
detained by Village Recorder Nels
Rams, while the sheriff was sum-
moned. They did not pass worthless
checks at Morgan, but were tried and
convicted in Brown county. The ap-
peal to the supreme court, which was
lost by Barnard, closes the case.
The arrest of Barnard and Cuddy
was the result of the active in terest
taken in the matter by Geo. Miesen,
Erwin Aftermath and T. A. Kragness,
managers of the three stores which
were victimized. 1t was through the
work of these three men that resulted
in the arrest. Nels Rams, the man
whose quick and fearless work landed
the pair in the tolls of the law, re-
ceived his description of the pair from
the Springfield merchants.
We have not learned whether Bar
nard has been located by the sheriff
He gave a bond to abide the result
of the supreme court decision, but
when the sheriff went to Good Thumb
err, the man was not there. 1t is not
likely that he can evade the capture
however.
Barnard was in Mankato and q
bench warrant was issued by Clerk
of Court Carl P Manderfeld upon the
application of County Attorney I. o.
Streissguth. The authorities at Man
kato were communicated with and
asked to apprehend Barnard, but he
escaped. 1t is said that he was at an
attorneys office and that an officer
went there to apprehend him, but
Barnard asked for few minutes TIC
pack his clothes. This was the last
seen of him. He was out on bail In
the sum of $4,000, furnished by his
father. This has been forfeited

The New Ulm high school building
was again burglarized sometime be-

morning of last week, when the
thieves secured a total of 1888 in

Checks aggregating $56.31, as we'll as

ALWAYS READY FOR SURPRISE
GUEST

In this day of easy transportation
guest is likely to drop in at any
time. 1t is quite embarrassing not to
have food on hand with which to
prepare a meal. Many women pride
themselves on the fact that they are
always prepared for unexpected COM
pany.
The problem of meat is very i'm
portant, for it furnishes the main
dish of the meal. The habit of get
ting large pieces of meat to cook and
use for several days is not only eco
nomical of money and time but is
appreciated when the unexpected
guest arrives. Leftover meat may
be used in many ways and combined
with white sauce, macaroni, pota-
toes, noodles, etc., to extend" it.
Timed Meats For Emergency
There are many prepared meats
on the market in tins or glasses
which may be kept in anticipation of
future need. Frankfurters, minced
and develied ham, picked pigs feet,
picked tongue, and even stew are

GOVERNOR APPOINTS
COMMITTEE TO STUDY
NEEDS OF CAPITOL
[CsSfisssd fres krst p9ssJ

recommended bill which the House
passed, authorizing the naming of a
commission, which in the next two
years should consider the enlarge
ment of the State House and return
recommendations to the General
Assembly.
But the Senate failed to act on the
bill, leaving the matter just where
it stood in the beginning.
Governor Buck believes that any
proposed alteration or changes to the
old and historic State House, is of
such Importance as to justify a most
careful study of the undertaking and
that as such work cannot safely be
hurried, that a report by the COM
mittee in 1881 will save two years in
placing valuable and concrete in
formation in the hands of the Legis-
lature for their consideration and
action. This is his reason for nam
ing this committee.
One suggestion last winter was to
purchase properties opposite the
Green in front of the State House,
and erect new building there. This
would leave the State House as the
executive offices of the Secretary of
State, also using the old State House |
as sort of memorial or museum.
Loyal citizens of Delaware, how
ever, object to this plan, asserting /
that when visitors to Dover asked |
where the State House was, the new
building would be pointed out as
such. They also claim that it would
lestroy the historic interest centered
about the building, which stood there
