The statement that the Astoria
Chamber of Commerce had never taken
part in suggesting amendments to the
city charter is not true. When the
present city charter was adopted pro-
viding for a different mode of improv-
ing streets, a committee of three from
the chamber of commerce was appoint
ed to confer with like committee
from the common council and the joint
committee held several meetings and
formulated the present charter The
democratic council that prepared the
Burns-S Smith charter, never consulted
Senator Tuttle about the amendments.
Senator Tuttle has as much right to
present a charter as Jack Burns. The
democratic charter is in the interests
of two democratic politicians. The Tut
tie charter Is for the entire city.

The Astorian did not lndorse the ac-
tlons of the republicans in electing
three police commissioners at the last
city election, for the reason that it
was one-slded affair. For the same
reason we are opposed to the Burns
Smith charter as It is manifestly un-
fair and Is only intended to keep City
Attorney Smith in office and benefits
no one else. This Is the. only objection
the half-dozen democrats have to
changing the time of the city elections
from December to June. Even A. NJ,
Smith states that he can see no OBJ
lection to the change, yet he opposes
It. Why? Changing the election from
December to June saves the tax payers
$500. Leaving the charter as 1t is,
II gives A, NJ. Smith six months longer
term of office. Which is In the inter-
ests of the tax payers2

FOR WORLDS
BANTAM WEIGHT

LONDON, May 29.-Next to the
EPSON derby to be run tomorrow the
principal topic of discussion in sport
ing circles is the fight to be pulled
of at the National Sporting club to-
night between Jem Bowker and
'Pinkey" Evans of Yonkers, N. Y.
The bout Is for the worlds champion
ship, the title to which Is now held
by Bowker. The articles of agree
ment call for 20-round bout at 116
pounds, weigh in at 2 o'clock this
afternoon.
Bowker is an idol among the fol-
lowers of pugilism on this side Of
the water, but even so there are
many who believe the American lad
has a show at the decision and the
long end Of the purse. Those who
have watched him in training speak
of him as clever and aggressive,
though not a very hard hitter.
