nroposes however, a most curious compromise.
Two boards are to be created one of public
safety and one of public service. The former is
70 he a bipartisan body Of four persons ap-
nointed hv the Mayor. and will have control OF
the Police and Fire departments The Mayor is
TO be the head of these departments and ap-
noipt members thereof, but he may not remove
them. The services are put under strict ClVl
Service rules The board of public service is TO
he an elective body of three persons, which shall
have charge of improvements and manage
parks. water supply. public institutions and the
whole range Of municipal administrative ac-
tiyities. All legislative functions are conferred
on an elective council. and these legislative
mowers are sharply distinguished from the ad-
ministrative powers of the board of public ser
vice The arrangement of these two boards
seems admirably calculated TO divide response
bilitv and intrench unofficial politicians. The
MAYORS hands are practically tied The CO.
ordinate board is carefully protected in its use
of patronage by the failure TO extend fhe merit
system to the departments under It's cohuoi'
If the intention is not TO build up pohtcal ma

pearances are deceptive.
This charter seems to violate almost every
principle accepted by scientific students or inu-
DicipaI government, but II must be confessed
that theories have never produced good city
government, and it Is possible that this scheine
is better fitted to actual conditions in ONO thah
some more scientific plan. There is too much
reason 10 fear. however that the conditions II
Is suited TO are not so much the needs of the
neopIe as the interests OF various political ana
business organizations. A vigorous opposition
is promised. and if is to be hoped that the cohe
will be subjected TO discussion which VIII
clearly reveal It's good and bad points.

WIDOW OF A LOTTERY
PRESIDENT is ACCUSED
Mrs. Dauphin Charged With Stealing a
Part of the Estate.


Part of the Estate.
NEW ORLEANS, La, Sept. 1.-THE
grand jury has returned an indictment
against Mrs. Rosa La Blanche Dauphin,
widow of Macmillan Dauphin, for
many years president of the Louisiana
state lottery. Mrs. Dauphin is said to
be i'll in or near New York.
Dauphin, who was president Of the
Louisiana Lottery company, died IN
1891. His estate was inventoried at
100000, his widow and a friend be-
ing executors. There were other heirs,
including Dauphin's mother. The es-
tate was settled up, the heirs were
paid their share and the widow and
legatee came into possession of the
rest of the property. Eleven years aft
er the settlement, among the effects of
Judge Porche, who had been Mrs.
Dauphin's lawyer in the probate case,
an old paper was found, giving a list
of large number of bonds which ap
parently formed part of the Dauphin
estate, but which had not figured in the
inventory.
Mrs. Dauphin was called on to ex-
plain. She failed to appear before a
Louisiana court. Dauphin kept his
money and securities in box in his
room and was a much weather. man
than many supposed. From that box
his widow, it is charged, stole from the
estate and secreted $214,000 in securi-
ties and $4,000 in cash.
In order to cover up her work, she
sold the bonds, invested and reinvested
the money in new securities SO that no
trace could be found of 1t.
The court awarded judgment against
Mrs. Dauphin for $388,066, the entire
amount with interest. Her home here
was seized, only to find that she had
removed everything and fed.

With Misconduct.
LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE grand
jury in the Old Bailey today returned
a true bill against Prince Francis Jo-
seph of Bragansea, a lieutenant in the
Seventh Austrian hussars, and who
was a member of the Austro- Hunga-
rian mission to the coronation of King
Edward, charged with misconduct, I'M
der the criminal law amendment.
The hearing of the charges brought
against the prince and other men took
place in the Southwark police court
in July.
Sir Edward Clarke, the former So
Hcitor general, defended the prince.
The prosecutor altered the charge
from felony" to misconduct under
the criminal law amendment" Sir
Edward intimated that the defense
would be conspiracy to rob and black
mail. Strict secrecy was observed by
the court officials regarding the exact
nature of the charges.
The prince and the others concerned
in the charge were placed in the dock
at the Central criminal court today
and pleaded mot guilty."
In opening the case, counsel for the
prosecution said the offense with
which the prince was charged was far
too common in London.
