SUGGESTS CHANGES
IN CITY CHARTER
Merchants Association Attor=
ney Would Reduce Board of
Supervisors to Six

That the number of the board of
supervisors should be reduced from IS
to six and that they should be elected
for term of six years each was one
of the suggestions for the amendment
of the city charter proposed by Allan
G. Wright, attorney for the Merchants
association, to the Commonwealth club
at its regular luncheon and meeting
yesterday at the ST. Francis hotel
Furthermore said Wright, "all
municipal officers with the exception of
the mayor. supervisors, city and dis
trict attorneys should be appointed by
the mayor"
Wright pointed out that his state
tents were simply suggestions for char
ter amendment which the club could
take UP if it so desired. His first sug-
gestion was for an amendment provid-
ing for local street assessment bonds
to be paid in installments instead of in
a lump sum, as is the law now. An
other was for provision to construct
tunnels, and a third for a special tax
in excess of the dollar limit for the
maintenance of an incinerator and for
the collecting and disposal of garbage.
After proposing these amendments
Wright began to encroach upon the
domains of the politician by declaring
that the supervisorial body was too
large and that six efficient members
could do the work. These he said
should be paid $500 month and should
devote their entire time to their civic
duties. Another amendment, he said,
should be made taking from the super
visors the power of fixing the rates for
public service corporations and that it
should be transferred to a state COM
mission along the lines of the one
organized by Governor Hughes AS an
alternative of this he suggested the
fixing of an automatic rate whereby a
maximum rate would be designated.
The corporation, he said, would be
forced to keep within this rate but
that it would have to pay a gross per-

finger of her right hand which she had

$4,000 damages.
The loss of the finger, she COM

The defendant in the other case was

Dean asked $25,000 damages for alleged
carelessness and negligence in setting
a fracture of the femur bone of the

MAUDE ALLAN TO
GARRlCk
Athmore Grey Is Booked for the
Princess Theater the Night
of April 9

Soon san Francisco is to see for
itself what it thinks of this new
classic" dance which has been writ
ten about and quarre1ed over from
Berlin (where Salome started, and
Paris, whence she writhed) to New
York, where society turned out and
emulated British aristocracy in ap-
proval of the unstockinged artists.
Isadore Duncan, Maude Allan. Loie
Fuller and her muses." Ruth st. Denis,
Athmore Grey, Gertrude Hoffman and
Adeline Boyer are some of the more
prominent purveyors of this sort of
terpsichorean entertainment, and each,
it is said, has tried TO outstrip the
other.
Some say it is art and some say it
isn't. Some insist that it is classical
and some insist it is merely undressing.
Maude Allan and Athmore Grey are
the two eXponentS who are coming to
the city, the former tomorrow night
to the Garrick with a big orchestra un-
der Steindorffs direction and the latter
Saturday night, April 9, to the Princess
theater where she will be featured at
the head of the new vaudeville and
musical comedy performance.
Maude Allan is the more famous of
the two, and is to be surrounded by all
the environment of Instrumentation that
is given ordinarily to a symphonic
presentation. She is one of the high
est paid artists before the public, and
Greenbaum secured her at great per-
sonal financial risk in conjunction with
Martin Beck, who is backing the tour
of the noted San Francisco dancer.
AS indication of the seriousness with
which Miss Allan views her own art
the following eminateS from her ad
vance booklets which explain her pur-
poses in the various pantomimic and
classical dances that she performs:
The poetry of spring is in one of
her dances The agony of remorse
is in the vision Of Salome. The
whole pagan theory of death is re-
vealed in her Marche Funebre."
But the thoughts are not insisted
on. They are merely floating sug
gestions, hints, innuendoes to those
who have eyes to see and brains to
understand. And, because she is an
artist, the deeper meaning of her
work is held strictly subordinate 10
the requirements of art--in the
grace and beauty of floating dra-
peries and rhythmical movements.
How can one best understand Miss
Allan's dances? There are many
ways. You can study the Greek
vases in the museum and observe
the figures of the Hellenic maidens.
Or you can read some of Walter
Savage Landor's dialogues-espe
cially that which, deals with Epf-
Gurus and his beloved pupils. Le-
ontion and Ternissa or you may
imbibe the spirit of that true
Hellenist, Keats, in his "Ode to
Grecian Urn For Miss Allan is
always Greek, in inspiration and
execution. Indeed, it is easy to
imagine her a countrywoman of
Theocritus dancing to the pipes of
his herdsmen under a deep blue
sky and close to the margin of
deep blue sea.
Miss Grey is recently from Aus
tralia, where she introduced the dances
after having appeared at the Alhambra
in Paris and at various theaters in
London.

her by Mrs Vivian Edwards, sister
of Miss Bordenave. That was why
they met yesterday afternoon. Just
what Thompson and Miss Bancroft
talked about could not be learned, but it
was said that she tried to win him
back, without success.
At the conclusion of the interview
Miss Bancroft wanted Thompson to go
with her in her taXicab to her apart
ments at the Chantilly, Sutter street
near Stockton, but Miss Bordenave took
hold of his arm and informed Miss
Bancroft that she and Thompson would
take a car. Detective Campbell Joined
Miss Bancroft in the taxicab, and De-
tective Conlon accompanied Miss Bor-
denave and Thompson and his body
guard Albert Freitas, a former mes
senger boy, so that there would be no
disturbance during the transfer of the

Patrick Farley and Jeremiah Farley,
proprietors of a saloon at Howard
and Nineteenth streets. jointly tried on
q charge of robbing John Dariotes of
1925. were acquitted by a jury in Judge
Cabaniss' court yesterday.
According to the story of Dariotes,

morning of January 2S 1910, by John
McSheery, a special policeman, accused
of the theft of a sealskin coat and
