distinctly less potent powers than the
present board of aldermen. 1t would
have extended ordinance-making au-

Each borough would have a separate
board of local improvements which
might vote expenditures up to $4,000

CENTRALIzING
GOVERNMENT
Of NEW YORK

NEW YORK, October 2O.-There is
no phase of reform that has a more
potent interest to representative New
Workers than the question of charter
revision. An important step toward
the securing of such a revision will be
taken today when the first public hear
ing on the subject will take place be-
fore the legislative committe on char
ter revision. A regular calendar has
been prepared of the briefs and memo
randa to be submitted to the commit
tee for its guidance and information
in the formulation of a measure to be
reported to the Legislature in time for
possible action at the next session. All
the heads of city departments have
been extended invitations to attend
today's and subsequent hearings.
At present New York possesses only
a nominal charter, which is in reality
but a conglomeration of laws and re-
gulations. The New York charter
commission, appointed by Governor
Hughes, of which William M. WINS
was chairman, last March reported a
plan for possible adoption of a charter
for the greater city. This proposed
plan and others will be considered by
the legislative committee men before
they frame their recommendations.
New York's present charter is
long document containing some half
million words. The proposed charter
advocated by the commission contains
only $4,000, and the body of admins
tration law it recommends is of about
the same length. The contents of this
document embodies no drastic reforms
and no such innovations as are to be
found in the Des Moines plan, OF in
Galveston or HaverhilI The princi-
pie followed has been to reduce the
number of elected municipal officers,
and put into separate hands the power
to appropriate and spend the public
funds.
The board of aldermen, according to
the plan, would be supplanted by a !
council Of 80 members to serve with !
out pay. The five borough presidents
would cease to have administrative
functions and would devote their time
chiefly to the financial work now look
ed after by the board of estimate and
apportionment. 1t was arranged that
the administrative work should be
given to heads of departments respon-
sible to the mayor, and to certain bu-
reaus, some of them undeer the board
of estimate and some under various

CUBA'S LAST
CHANCE At SELF
GOVERNMENT

It is no doubt true that there are
certain interests that would weep
with the crocodiles if CUBA should
fail again. 1t is true that there
are men who would give Cuba a
shove if they saw it stumbling, aud
no doubt that there is an effort to
ALLEVIATE American sympathy, but IL
is also true that Cuba is not fairly
doing its part; is directly playing in
to the hands of its enemies. # the
Cubans had been conspiring to offend
decent sentiment in the Unitec
States, planning to fly in the faces Of
decent folk most anywhere in the
world they could hardly have done
better than they did with their last
session of congress. Pending before
the representatives of the people in
congress assembled were three meas
ures of great Importance. One was
an act creating a national lottery,
another was a bill to legalize cock
fighting and the third was the budget
which contained a provision for the
reimbursement of the United States
government for the cost of occupa-
ton. The gambling and rooster bills
went through with what ! American
newspaper calls energy and dispatch
and the budget got deadlocked and
never was passed. The Cuban states
men haggled over the budget until
the hour of adjournment and Presi-
dent Gomez was compelled to issue
an executive order retaining the bud
get for the year that had closed.
The American people would ordi-
narily not have been particularly
disturbed by the failure or refusal of
the Cuban congress to pay the Amer
lean government the expense of occu-
patton, although it is manifestly a |
fair obligation, but the lottery and |
cock-fghting business are an offense /
to them. And when they are coupled I
so closely with the refusal to nav the |
debt to the United States they make |
an 0ffense OF it. The contrast too is
so sharp that it furnishes a very ac-
CITRATE line on the pitiful weakness
OF Cuban craftsmanship at this time.
1t is manifest that sentiment in the
United States has turned sharply
against the Cubans and there can he
little doubt that if they fail again it
will be their last chance at failure in
government. When the Ameri-
can Army was recently withdrawn
from Cuba, Marse Henry Watterson
described the new experiment as "the
last call for dinner in the dining-car"
and that he was right is patent

CHINESE GIRL TO
ENTER WELLESLEY
Plans to Equip Herself to Do
Educational Work in the
FIowery Kingdom
Saves Enough From Teaching
in Hawaiian Islands to Pay
Expenses in College

Miss Amy F. Ching is a pretty Chi
nese girl with a mission. She arrived
here yesterday from Honolulu on the
liner Mongolia and is on her way to
Wellesley college TO equip herself for
the work she means to do in China.
Miss Ching was born in China but
was taken when a baby to Honolulu by
her parents, who both died there when
she was still youngster. Her only
dover was desire for knowledge, with
the determination to acquire it. Her
friends on the Mongolia pointed to her
with pride as a self made girl
Friends saw that the little almond
eyed orphan was cared for during her
school day life. She supported herself
during her course at the normal school,
from which she was graduated with
honors. From two years work as a
teacher she saved enough to take her
through Oahu college, from which she
was graduated this summer.
She is now going to Wellesley, where
she intends to specialize in mathemat-
les, Latin and English. After gradua-
tion she will return 70 China and de-
vote her life to imparting the knowl-
edge for which she has worked so hard
to her sisters in the fiowery kingdom.

wonder is that she could have forged

Criminal shrewdness of an excep-
tionaI character marked the confess
sions made yesterday by Ruth Grove,
the 13 year old girl who robbed her
benefactress, Miss Anna Belle Karr of
Marysville. The child, a quiet. demure
little miss, gentle in bearing and mod
est in demeanor made a thorough and
open confession to Miss FELTON,, secre-
tary of the Associated Charities, and
her guardian, in which she told of
successfully forging checks. changing
the amounts written on their face and
scheming through numberless trick
cries by which she stole several hun
dred dollars.
The startling point of the confession
was that one so young should possess
such remarkable criminal sa gacity. She
made her plans with the thoroughness
of an accomplished thief, carried them
out without mistake or flaw, and 1t
was not until she fed that her acts
were discovered. So strange. in fact, is
the child's confession that Miss FELTON,,
secretary of the Associated Charities,
believes that she was used by more
mature minds. The girl emphatically
denied the charges that she tried to
poison her benefactress as was al
legged by Miss Karr.
TWO CLEVER FORGERIES
Among her acts were two clever
forgeries of Miss Karr's signature,
which were so well executed that the
checks were honored at the bank with
out any hesitation. Another piece of
work was the changing of the amount
on a check from $50 to $50, which was
accepted by the bank also without
detection.
In all the girl stole several hundred
dollars. Just how much she does not
