Inquiry among the committee of 49 citizens recently appointed to consider the revision of Atlanta's charter, develops the fact that large majority of it's mem bers are strongly inclined to the com mission form of government, and the most serious and searching investigations are now being made along that line.
 There are two committees considering this form of city government, one exam ming into that existing in certain Texas cities, and another Investigating it as it is now in use in Washington, D. c. In- dications all point strongly to the prob ability that such change will ultimate ly be recommended by the committee in the form of government for Atlanta.
 Of course, 1t is expected that such a | plan as this will if decided upon, meet with strong opposition from certain po- ltical elements, and anything which the revision committee may do has got to run the gantlet of the city council before 1t goes to the legislature.
 If the city council is won over to the commission plan of government however, and many of its members now appear to favor that plan, its request to the legis- lature for a new charter embodying that system would undoubtedly be granted. Op- position would, no doubt, come from seY- eral sources, but backed by council there would be practically no danger of it's failure.
 Atlanta is now largely under a commis- sion system, each commission being con- posed of a number of men, as the police commission, fire commission, board of health, etc. But the proposal to place a single commissioner in charge of each de- pertinent wherein he shall have complete control and be subject only to a ma jority of those in like authority, is, of course, radically different.
 The belief Is expressed, however. that Atlanta would profit both in municipal strength and efficiency as well as finan- cially, by the adoption of this plan.

pany still on Ground
Around Mine.

Cherry, H., Nov. 20.-Science and
desperation have greatly checked
the fire that snuffed out 300 lives
last Saturday in the St Paul coal
fire swept tunnels to bring to the
surface the dead; charity has pour
ed aid into the homes of suffering
but all this could not subdue the
grief of Cerry's inhabitants when
the sight of the dead, lifted from the
tomb exploded their hopes that
men might be rescued.
1t has been just six days since the
fire, starting in a bale of hay. swept
the bread-winners of this community
to their doom, and in all that time
of anxiety but five bodies of the en-
tombed have been recovered.
More were found yesterday but the
explorers, working deep into the
scared gallery, were forced to flee
for their lives as they were about TO
DrlnS them out When 1alllnS eafth
and rock endangered them.
All day Cherry was the Mecca for
thousands of visitors attracted by
the opening of the mine. They came
in special trains, automobiles, car
riages and on foot. The military
guard around the mine preserved
perfect order and no trouble of any
kind was reported.

CHILE IS STILL SILENT
NO CONFIRMATION RECEIVED
Bl STATE DEPARTMENT As
TO PROTOCOL.
Failure OF South American Country
to Make Good Her OFT Re
pcatpd Promises Grows
IirCsOmc.

Washington, Noy, 20 No confir-
nation has been received by the
state department that Chile has ex-
pressed a willingness to sign pro-
tocol submitting the Alsop claim to
The Hague tribunal for arbitration.
In the preparation of the Droto-
col signed by the American minister,
Mr.. Dawson, and the Chilean minis
ter of foreign affairs, this govern
ment conceded practically all the
suggestions of details put forward
by Chile, but when the protocol was
FINALLY rejected this government saw
no further use in maintaining a lega-
zion in Santiago, where the official
act Of the foreign minister was dis
credited ami withdrew it's represen-
tative.
This case has becoming Irritating
to this government from the fact
that Chile has repeatedly admitted
her liability, but has often asked for
additional time in which to settle.
In 1904, Chile offered as an eX-
cuse for not paying the claim the
fact that she was financially embar-
rassed and this government withdrew
its pressure for the time being. Since
that date, however, Chile has recov-
cred from her financial embarrass-
nnnt and is in n pOSitinl TO make
good her oft repeated promises.

MISSING BOY WAS
SEEN IN DEATSVILLE

Johnnie ogletree. the 11-year-old
hoy. who ran away from his home, Z
Wade Avenue. last Wednesday evening.
has been seen in Deatsville. but he has
not been brought home yet.
A Montgomery man who knows the
boy. saw him on the street there and
spoke to him, but thinking the little
fellow was with his relatives, and not
knowing he had run away. made no at
tempt to get him home. -, j.
Johnnie had q misfortune shortly be-
fore he left Montgomery. When he
started ont to see the world he took
pistol with him and this gun he lost
before he left the city. He was at the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad yards
and a negro. seeing the weapon. offered
to buy It. Johnnie handed over the
gun and the negro gave him an ad
dress up town and told the boy to go
there and ask for the money Johnnie
went, but needless to say. did not get
the money.
After this experience he is supposed
to have gone on to Deatsville on the
cars. probably having been given a
lift by a friendly brakeman. The au-
thorities in Deatsville were communi-
Gated with last night and asked to send
the boy home II he could be found.

ELECTRIC PUMP
NO DEFINITE DECISION Is REACH
ED IN THE CASE.
WeteRwsYks Committee Seem to De
FaveHably Disposed Toward Elee-
trielty, Bat Will Not Report
to Council Imnnadiately.

A. q result Of the meeting of the
Watsrworks Committee OF the City
Council, held last night In the once
Of the Montgomery Light and Water
Power Company. II 10 highly probable
that electric power driven pumps will
be installed in the pumping plant of
the city waterworks. BY this 1t Is
contemplated that the capacity Of the
plant will be redoubled, and the ne
ceasity for expensive boilers, which
were planned at the frst. will be elm
mated.
1t all depends on the price Of the
electric pumps. however. and 1t was
the consideration of expense which ne
.cessitated the meeting of last night.
During the session, the representa-
tiyes Of two electric pump manufac-
tories. the Northington Company. Of
Brooklyn, and the General Electric
Company. OF Schenectady. were given
audience. and their prices were offered
In case the electric pumps are IN
stalled. the old steam power pumps,
with their boilers, will be retained as
O reserve plant.
Exclusive of the first cost Of install
lation, 1t Is the opinion that the ex-
pense OF operation of the electric
pumping plant. even with the doubled
capacity Of the present steam plant,
will be no more than Is incurred with
the present system.
The Waterworks Committee arrived
at no definite decision last night, and
will probably not report to the Council
at tonights meeting. 1t Is more like
ly, however, that a decision will be
reached during the week, and the de-
cision will be. according to the pres
ent outlook to favor the electric
pumps. and to ask the Council for au-
thority to advertise for bids.

RICH FINE HARVEST
CITY GETS NEARLY $500 At POLICE
COURT.
Twice the Sum Collected Will he
Worked Out on Streets ~ Re-
suit Of City's Busy sat.
urday and sunday
Nights.

Montgomery realized a nice little
sum from the crowd of evildoers the
police arrested Saturday and Sunday.
There were over eighty arrests in the
two days and not until late at night
was the tired judge and nearly winded
prosecuting attorney through with the
great docket.
Migrants, thieves, scrappers. pick
pockets and all sorts OF rogues were
run through the mill. with the result
that the city got nearly $500 in cash
and will have nearly twice as much
worked out on the road.
The two convicts Policeman Hill ar
rested . few nights ago. who had es-
capped from the convict camp at Pratt
City, were returned, the city receiving
S25 each for them. James Fitzpatrick
and Jim Robertson. negroes. accused OF
picking the pockets of Theo Lewis. an
old negro. several days ago, were
hound over to the City Court
The court room was so crowded and
the hum OF voices 30 insistent at times
that to quiet things the judge told the
bailiff at the door to close It and he
would examine all persons present.
The result was general rush to the
exit, in which the bailin was carried
through the door.
H. NJ. Davis accused of being a
wandering gambler and pool room loaf
er, was fined $25, but later the fine was
reduced to SIS provided the prisoner
would leave town. He paid up and Is
supposed to have left.
+ Craps ooters came In for their share
of the punishment and twenty negro
bone rollers were soaked for $13 each.
The two days, Saturday and Sunday,
were noted by the police for the great
est number of arrests so far this year
and the trials strung out the police
court proceedings to the longest time
on record for the tribunal.

attorney for North Alabama. Col.
Youngblood Is not SO friendly with the

An1usen1ents
Vaudeville at the Grand.

Immense! Great! 1 didn't imagine
such high class vaudeville could be put
on the stage for the ridiculous price of
and 10 cents. Such were the COM
ments heard on ali sides from the au-
diences who Witnessed the four per-
formances at the Grand Monday after
noon and night.
Manager Wells has demonstrated to
Montgomery why his vaudeville VEN
lures succeed where others have failed.
Four classy acts. with moving pictures
to begin with and still more moving
pictures to close with, make a combi-
nation that will doubtless continue to
draw the unusually large houses that
greeted the turns on their initial per-
Torrance.
The bill as a whole makes a distinct
hit with Montgomery vaudeville goers
but the sister team of Moore and
Young Is the real hit of the hits. 1t
is seldom, indeed, that one sees a bet
ter trained pair of dancers in any vau-
deville house, no matter what the
price. But more than this. they are
original. In most sister acts one sees
bunch OF fuffy-ruffies. trying to sing
or dance a hit. Yesterday the team
dressed as men and showed that they
really could clog.
But it's not fair, with a good BILL to
give all the praise to one team. Earl
Wright, an eccentric clown, adds much
to the enjoyability of the bill by his
clever barrel jumping and kips in the
air Hanson and Bonet. singing come
dams, have a bunch of good jokes, as
well as a few local hits that were APP
preciated. Grojean and Maurier. are
two musical comedians that make good.
II you never saw the long and short OF
1t. wait until you see this pair.
The moving pictures are some OF the
best shown in Montgomery. and 1t Is
the announced intention of the man
agement to make the. moving pictures
the finest ever shown in the city.
