VOTES ON new CHARTER
st. Louis Is Passing on Modified
Commission Form.

st. Louis, Jan. 31.-Citizens of ST.
on the adoption of new charter. The
polls will close at o'clock tonight
Certain union labor men declared their
opposition to the document because it
does not contain an initiative provis-
ion. Other opponents fear the mayor
of the city will have too much power.
Frederick w. Lehman, solicitor gen.
era1 of the United States, was the
chairman of the Free Holders who
drew up the charter. He made two
addresses in its behalf last week. The
charter provides for a single legislative
body to be elected at large by all vot-
ers civil service through the merit sys-
tenn, and concentrates all executive and
administrative power and responsibility
on a few officers answerable directly to
the people.
1t calls for referendum on fran
chises and will enable the citizens to
recall any elective officer after Is
months trial. The charter, if adopt
ed, will deprive the mayor of the pow
er to control 1000 appointments. Among
other provisions in the new code are the
establishment of a city printing plant,
the publishing of a municipal journal
and the prevention of the holding up of
legislation for more than 40 days in
committee. The charter will prevent the
assessing of city employees for 60 pur-
poses and city employees and officials
are forbidden to be members of politi-
cal committees. The overcapitalization
of public utility corporations will also
be prevented.

They NEED MONEY

Lot Of Players.
He Is Almost Afraid Now They

Thomson, McLaurin, Gibson

They Are StickIers for the Sue

Ball players are q courteous clan.
Gracefully they submit their compl-

purse strings of the management and
drop vitriol in the watch dogs sore
From the soft pedal passages in the
correspondence of Frederick Moore.
And what does Tommy want noWI
Nothing much-just an unconditional
release. Wants to be a free agent so
he can go to the big leagues where
grapes are always ripe. Recently when
all he wanted was money, ThomaSon
wrote that if Moore did not care to
pay his price he ought to let some OF
the big league clubs do it as they were
anxious to do so. Now he suggests that
it is a shame to keep a fellow down ana
that the only square thing to do would
be to turn him loose.
Thomson is q good little player all
right and can hit the ball and tear
around the sacks, besides catching some
of the things that comes out to LETT
but the Topeka management Will have
a number of good players to pay now
and then during the summer season ac-
cording to Manager Moore and the
money has to be divided up. When
Moore liked the outfielders salary by
$50, he thought he would get an envel-
ope full of thanks. He didn't Tom
lny's short stay in the majors last sea-
hard to go up and feels that he earned
q big league place or at least the very
top line of the Western.
Moore is trying in every way to come
TO :erms with Tommy but chances are
getting slim. There is no doubt that
the square sbouldered lad would work
as hard as ever and deliver the goods
as before If he did report and there
is some time yet before the season
opens.
Then McLaurin has favored the man
0ger with a another epistle of kind
regards. With best wishes for the sue
cessful management of the club by
Moore and with assurance certain that
Moore would be a splendid man to work
tor, this nifty outfielder from Atlanta
also has a mere trifie of an obstacle
for Moore to kick out of his way. The
NJ. q. r. bought him and held out to
him his Atlanta contract price. Nc
Laurin says he will continue to manage
his Georgia farm rather than don play
however. If Everything is all right
let out his farm and pick up the lex
