Borough President Ahearn yesterday gave the

perfectly apparent that his department not

ATTENDING THE CHARTER.
Commission Suggests That Po5Cers
of aldermen Be CmtQiIed.

Eight members Of the New-York Charter Revision
Commission have sent a letter to Senator Horace
White Of the Senate Cities Committee, and Assem-
byman Burnett, Of the Assembly Cities Committee
saying that they believe that the charter ought TO
be revised to cut down the powers of the New
York Board Of Aldermen and increase the powers
OF the Board OF Estimate and Apportonment. The
letter follows!
The undersigned. who were members OF the New
York City Charter Revision Commission, are OF the
opinion that the experience thus far had under the
revised greater New-York charter demonstrates
the wisdom Of amending the charter as to curtai
the powers OF the Board Of Estimate and Abortion

ing the use Of the streets Of the city

J. Edward Svvanstrom, ex-Presdent Of the Bor-
ugh Of Brooklyn who predicted IN The Tribune two
weeks ago that the legislature would curtail the
powers Of the aldermen if they did not show a
more decent regard for the interests Of the people
said last night that the Elsberg bill taking away
from the aldermen the power to handle franchise
matters would pass
The great majority Of people are in favor Of
eboishing the board Of aldermen absolutely" said
Mr. Swanstrom. 81 would not go so far as that
DO not believe that 1t should be abolished. The
theory OF the usefulness Of the aldermen is per-
hRps correct. but in actual practice the aldermen
have been most horrible failure. It IS time that
their powers with reference to holding I'D fran
chiSeS should be curta1led. and the Elsberg bill
Advertisements Is elective body. and IS fully
qualified intellgently to handle franchise matters.

ANGRY ABOUT BEER SONG.
Methodist Church Shocked ~byzSelec-
lions of Glee Club.
TBx TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNB.l

New-Brunswick N. J.. March 22-The singing
on the platform of the Broadway Methodist
Church, at Camden, Of ''Under the Anheuser
Bush and a song describing a game of cards
at a recent concert by the Rutgers College Glee
Club has aroused considerable criticism among
the members OF the congregation
Dr. A. E. Street was one of the members
shocked by the songs. He said: 1.-THE glee club
submitted the text Of its proposed songs, and
we found nothing Objectionable, but when the
club was encored ii sang about good old Tam
hauser beer and even initiated card playing
on the church platform. 1t is high time that We
limit such conduct. If the Constitution of the
United States cannot guarantee relief from such
ridiculous and audacious performances in a
church. L for one stand with the official board
in putting the ban on such things" The off,
ciai board had put ban on all college glee
club entertainments.

1.-TWO points Of distinction Mr.. Louis Enrich

has commended it to a trained taste; second, the

Really guaranteed, that is. and not simply
companed by an embarrassing and strictly linn
tied right of protest. IF the attribution is dis
puted by respectable authority within year of

The Osteopath can regulate the
