a special committee appointed by the Governor,
is proposed by a bill introduced tonight by
Senator Page. His measure provides that within
thirty days of its passage the Governor shall
appoint a commission of nine TO investigate the

charter revision one member of the commits

The New York charter is top heavy. unWieldy
and full of Inconsistencies" declared Senator
Page in speaking of his bill. Certainly some
thing should be done 10 remedy this condition OF
affairs. Mayor Mcclellan has said he was
member Of fifty-four boards. Borough presi-

Resigns from Party.

ST Petersburg. March IA caucus Of the
constitutional Democratic deputies was held to-
day to discuss the manner of receiving the
declaration Of policy from the Cabinet. which
Premier stoIypin is expected to deliver this
week. and it was decided to avoid any pretext
for extreme measures against the admtnistra-
ton The party win listen 10 the Premier in

the Constitutional Democrats will propose
resolution that the Douma. having heard the
declaration of the Premier, proceed to the regu-
lar order of the day. The Social Revolutionlsts
and the Group of Toll have adopted practically
the same decision.
The Associated Press is able TO say the
highest authority that all the rumors that the
Cabinet is laying plans for the speedy dssolu-
ton Of the Douma are without foundation. On
the contrary, the Cabinet has resolved TO give
the Douma every chance to justify its exist
ence." and only prorogue it when its inability
TO perform legislative functions under existing
conditions is fully evident. or when by revolu-
tionary activity It becomes a menace 70 public
order. Neither vote Of lack of confidence or
resolution demanding amnesty viii be regarded
as reasons for dismissing parliament.
From the same authority. however. which re-
fleets closely the views Of Premier Stolypin the
learned that the Cabinet has little
expectation that the DOuma will develop into a
working parliament. 1t hopes that Propagation
Is remote, although there are strong influences
at work at Tsarskoe- Selo and in ST. Petersburg
to undermine Premier Stolypin and force dis

| left hand the manner ir which the music
| floats away from his violin, his ease In
| the most difficult requirements of violin
playing, make of him figure unique in
the world of artists. Since his last visit
to this country he has deepened musical
| ly and has taken on more serious and
more musicianly sides, consequently he
was as great joy to the musician as
to the people.
Madame Emma Calve is to be the next
great artist heard in Los Angeles.
One seeing and hearing Calve is inn
pressed, not so much by the luscious
beauty of her voice. her wonderful tech
nique, and great personal charm, as by
the fact, which is forced upon him, that
the wheels of evolution never rest. The
same law which gave to the world Herr
Hannibal, Herr Caesar, Herr Napoleon
! and Herr Washington has sent a Calve.
The greatness of this gifted woman as
an opera singer and an actress is but in
cidental to her pre-eminence as an indi-
vidual, or type, if you please, and this
season it is not Calve, the French woman,
neither is it Calve, the bright and par
| ticular star of the opera, but Madame
Emma Calve. fair citizen of the world.
| Nor is it the Calve of "Santuzza," Car
men," "LcCid," "Messalne." or MAR
guerite" fame, but the lovable and loving
| Calve of Carriers, Avignon, France, who
sings with. but not TO her audiences, and
makes her art theirs. burt 4 brief space,
and then passes on to carry her beautiful
message of song to the thousands who
are waiting her coming.
| Madame Calve has been heard in con-
cert before in Los Angeles, but this, her
second year, seems to be different one
from that before. She has begun to
know her audiences as she never knew
| them when she was connected with the
grand opera stage. She now has fond
ness for them. and apparently singles
them out individually to sing to them. 1t
| is the evolution of singer into that of
an interested and interesting woman.
This French woman has deep interest
for the west. the middle west and it's
people. whom she pronounces the most
enthusiastic of all audiences. Perhaps it
is the gadness, the glamour of the west,
which appeals to her and allows a differ
ent temperament to enter into her work
Be that as it may, the Los Angeles audi
ences will be entertained with this most
charming of singers on Tuesday evening.
