WON'T HOLD SPECIAL
. ELECTION FOR CHARTER
Found Unnecessary, as Amendments
Will BE on Separate Ballots


The charter amendments will not be
submitted at a special election, as had
been planned, Corporation Attorney
Michael having convinced the members of
the charter commission last evening that
their passage would not thus be facili-
tated
cit occurred to me a few days ago."
said Mr.. Michael .'that as this is not
city election the ballots bearing the
amendments will be separate from any
other ballot and that the result would be
the same. under special election as
would be the case otherwise. Every voter
will be given separate ballot, and if he
does not vote on the amendments he will
be expected to return the ballot, to the
judges. The result will be the same, as it
will require a four-fifths vote to adopt
the amendments in either event. :"
The position taken by Mr.. Michael is
that the persons voting at the election
who do not express their approval or dis
approval of at least one of the amend
ments will not be counted as having voted
so far as the charter amendments are
concerned. But a vote in favor of one
amendment and no expression as to the
others means vote against all those on
which there was no expression.

Action of Appraisers of thePo
of New York Is Severely Crit
iclsed BY the Senator From
North Dakota-Treasury De-
partment VIII Be Appealed
to and If Necessary Case Will
Be Carried to the United
States Circuit Court

A decision by the United States ap-
praisers of the port of New York that
frosted" wheat will be admitted from
Canada on payment of a duty of 10
cents per bushel will be appealed to
the treasury department and if there
sustained will be transferred to the
United States circuit court of New
York for a judicial determination.
The decision, announced in New
York few days ago, has stirred up
some opposition in the wheat pro-
ducing area of the Northwest. SEN
ator H. c. Hansbrough, of North Da-
kota, yesterday was advised by tele-
gram from Washington that the appeal
had been taken on Wednesday and
that it would be pushed to final hear
ing before the secretary of the treas
ury. If the appeal is not successful
there, Senator Hansbrough declares his
intention OF seeing that the case is
taken to the United States court for a
final decision.
The decision of the board of apprais-
ers admitting frosted" wheat is based,
Senator Hansbrough said, on the pro-
visions of section of the Dingley tar
iff law, the damaged wheat being en-
tered under the class "unenumerated
and unmanufactured articles" He in
sists it is an evasion of the spirit and
the letter of the Dingley tariff law,
and will make an earnest effort to Sc
cure reversal of the judgment of the
board of appraisers. Senator Hans
brough intimates very broadly that the
decision of the appraisers is due tozthe
influence of Minneapolis millers and

Z fInenr. &c The assessment returned by
the assessor was more than 81 100000
short, and there will necessarily have
lone a. big increase all along. the line.
chairman T. Paulson, Of the committee
IN charge of this class said yesterday
that much depended on the location of
Stne, town where the stocks were car
ried. z r.
If the stocks are in a village or
small city near a large city, 1T can be
depended upon that jthe stocks carried
by the merchants are small and incom-
plete.'s he said. TT doesn't pay the mer-
chants to carry the stocks that are
kept son hand in towns remote from
the larger cities, and the board will
take this fact into consideration.

of excellent families of wealth and socitl
standing seeking position.
Managers engage them for their fine man
nerS and modish dressing. Some few of
them have positive talent. but many more
are totally lacking in this respect; but for
these latter there is noise and advertising
for themselves and the manager. and these
prove an incentive for both parties.
Many best society pampered ones take
to the stage because they think it is an
easy mode of livelihood and short cut to
attention, notice, fame and perhaps envy
Ambition, too. counts some. though all too
often this Is fancy; a wish rather than
purpose few really have ability. Others
seek a stage career through family dissen-
sion, or perhaps disappointment in love and
hope upon the stage to find n cure for
heartache. Still others whose family for
tunes have been reduced seek it for the
monetary compensation in addition to its
promise of fame.
There is little doubt that for many years
to come we shall frequently hear of socie-
tvs debutantes seeking a theatrical career
until something apparently better offers.
This year we have many of these favor
ties of fortune fixed for the season with
some of the best dramatic and musical
companies; some of them eninently quail
fed to make their mark. Among these may
be mentioned Marianne H. Woods of Phil
adelphia, Miss Ruth Martin of this city
Blanche Gunir of Cincinnati, the Misses
Norma and Pauline Campbell of Boston
Miss Percita West. now with the Robert
Edison Company: Miss Eiyphe Snowden of
Memphis. Miss Flora La Toilette. daughter
of Governor La Toilette of Wisconsin; Miss
Bernice Golden of Cincinnati. now with one
of Belascos companies. and a number of
others, including Elizabeth or. as her
friends call her. Bessie" Johnson, daugh-
ter of Tom Johnson, the present mayor of

ceived that she will persevere in her pres
