Iowa House Size Fight and Memorial Hall Funds
The Iowa Senate passed a joint resolution by Whelan to submit a constitutional amendment raising the house size from 100 to 115. It faces strong opposition but advances with a 35 to 18 vote in favor. The measure would start with 109 members and guarantee at least one representative per county, with large counties adjusting by population. The same session approved funds for Port Arthur as a sub-port, the memorial hall and art building, and the Apamosa penitentiary, while other bills were defeated. Also reported are a rail incident, the death of Col Dailey, and the escape of counterfeiter Edward Dunn en route to Fort Madison.
