chise plan.
Il do not see that there Is a press
ing need for the others TO he submit
ted at this time" stated Aid. Trevor,
Thursday morning. The amendment
for the election OF mayor, aldermen
and estimators for four-year terms
will not 20 into effect until 1912. We
want the mayor elected at the presi
Dental election when all the citizens
vote"
This means that the mayor 10 be
elected in November will serve but
two years and that present govern
mental conditions will not be changed
In that respect for two years more.
The Republicans of course secure "A
great advantage by putting the cleo
ton OF mayor in the presidential
years as the great number d;
straight ballots count for their
candidate.
Az the session OF the charter and
city legislation committee, Thursday
morning. the civil service charter
amendment was altered in accordance
with suggestions made by Aid Heine-

GREAT HOST is COMING
IN WORK OF HUMANITY
An Effort to ChriStianize
the World.

New York, Jan. 15.-Thousands Of
earnest supporters Of the Laymen' 8
Missionary Movement, which aims at
Christianizing the entire world during
the present generation, have arrived
here to attend the conference in sup
port of the movement, which is ex-
pected to eliminate in monster rally
In Chicago in May next. The idea be-
hind the movement is that the history
of the world is moving in such a way
as to open the door to missions, and
that If the opportunity is not seized
at once no such favorable opening
may again be offered. A campaign
of education on a national scale IS
conducted by the Laymen's Missionary
Movement, with the endorsement of
the Foreign Mission Boards of Amer-
ica. The movement is not connected
with any church and is entirely in the
hands of laymen. One of the objects
of the campaign Is to raise fund of
thirty million dollars for the purpose
of Christianizing the world. The con-
ference, which will open here tonight
with a dinner for three thousand at the
Hotel Astor, will continue through
tomorrow and will close on Monday
with big mass meeting at the Hippo
drome.

CONCERT BY MISS ELVYN
OCCASION OF REAL BEAUTY
Young Pianist Proves Herself q Fin
ished Artist.

The concert last Monday evening at
Miss Bells studio by Miss Myrtle
Elvyn, was the musical event of the
season, and one of the series of tri-
umphs which have attended the ap-
pearances of this gifted young pianist,
both in Europe and America.
Miss Elvyn is young woman of
charming and beautiful personality,
graceful and dignified bearing, and an
artist of great attainments, with an
abundance of temperament, freedom
and ease of execution, and apparently
unlimited technic
Her playing is characterized by
rich sorority and breadth of tone,
rather than pure intellectual depth and
poetry, by mausline strength and vigor
rather than delicacy, although her
light effects are dainty and charming
in the extreme.
Her superb wrist and octave technic,
also the massiveness of style were dis
played in the Schulz-Evler arrange
ment Of the Beautiful Blue Danube, -
while her left hand work merited es-
pecial commentator, the two numbers
for the left hand alone being very eff
fective
The concert series arranged annual
ly by Miss Bell, have meant much to
Americus in upholding the musical and
artistic standards, and should be lib
orally patronized and appreciated.

STICKS TO HER STORY
COHEN MAY GO FREE.
HeireSS Still SwearS She
Planned Affair.

Philadelphia, Jan. 15.-There is a
possibility that Ferdinand Cohen, the
hotel waiter, will go unpunished for
the part he took in the escapade with
Miss Roberta de Janon, the young
heiress.
The police made the emphatic state
ment that Cohen did not harm the girl,
and the young runaway still adheres
to the story, corroborated by Cohen,
that she was alone responsible for the
affair.
She says that she induced Cohen 10
leave the city with her.
After an interview with the waiter
in his cell, his lawyer told the report
ers that Cohen under the law had
committed no crime.
Cohen spent the night in a cell on
the fifth floor of the city hall.
The girl is still in the hospital un-
der the care Of nerve specialist. Her
nervous system is badly upset by the
| events of the last few days. It Is
likely she will be kept in the hospital
for some days.
Mrs. Julia Cohen, the deserted wife,
who was taken to the hospital last
night in a state of nervous collapse,
vas better today and left the institu-
ton.
