work as usual, but diI not return
home at night Since that time she

GREAT GAIN MADE
INAMENDEDCH CHARTER
City Solicitor Gives Views On
the New Measure and Sets
Forth Its Virtues
COUNCIL HAS POWER
TO MAKE INVESTIGATIONS

City Solicitor Townsend in an lntorview
to-day, gave out comparative digest q
the old and tho amended city charter. The
solicitor says:
"By the amended charter the city
has made great gain. To my mind
the most important matter is that tho
construction placed by the courts on
the various parts of the charter has
not been disturbed IN a single instance.
This important point seems to have
been overlooked 10y the citizens gener-
ally. We have between two hundred
and three hundred reported decisions
Of the State courts on the various
statutes affecting the city. and it cost
us hundreds of thousands OF dollars TO
get these decisions In order TO know
where we stood, The proposed char
ters which were defeated az Dover. if
they had been enacted into law would
have wiped the decisions out at sin-
gle blow and we would have had no
precedents TO follow. Everything needs
ed can DE secured by amendments 10
the present charter, but OF course it
would be unwise 10 make an the
changes at once.
"Somo necessary changes cannot bo
brought about because of certain arr
tisan features Between now and the
next session OF the Legislature tho
statutes rotating to the city should be
carefully revised preserving as far as
possible the language OF the present
charter. thereby saving the various de-
.F
charter the ward divisions are not
charged nor are tho terms OF office.
III was Thought by many that the term
Of office should be for four years, thus
saving the expense OF every other city
election. Il was also contended that
the wand divisions should he changed
for the reason that the various secs
tions of the city were not fairly repre-
scented II was stated that three OF tho
wards had between two and three times
the number OF inhabitants as the
smallest wand yet had the same rep
resentation in the Council"
Changes Made
Br iy tle changes made arc these:
l. The Mayor and City Council each
have the power TO investigate any de-
partmcnf OF the city and to compel ths
attendance OF witnesses and the pro-
i luction OF necessary books and papers.
Subpoenaes and attachments may he Is
sued and when issued are to be served

fusing to testify or to produce books

city Solicitor Is given power to inves-
ugate in connection with his duties az
prosecuting officer OF the Municipal
Court. Heretofore II has often been
necessary TO make arrests in order "a

provision the Solicitor has the same
power IN regard 20 city matters as the

EDDIE GUERIN GOES FREE.
British Court Refuses to Extradite No
torious Criminal.

London, June 15.-Should the de-
cisiOn given in the divisional court
Friday by the lord chief justice, Lord
Alverstone, and two associates, hold
good, a British subject convicted of
crime in foreign country who es-
capes to British territory cannot be
extradited. The decision was given
in the case of Eddie" Guerin, who
escaped to the United States from
Devils island, then came to. England,
where he was arrested and ordered to
be extradited to France by a Bow
street extradition court magistrate.
Guerin formerly resided in Chicago,
where he was twice convicted of
crimes, and went to France on his re-
lease. There he was sentenced to
penal servitude for life for a bank
robbery in Paris and was sent to
lewis island. On numerous occa-
sions Guerin has been sent back to
America
The court decided that the extradi-
ton act did not apply to the case and
discharged the prisoner.
