Gambler Spokesman.
The chances for a compromise dld
not look promising. Council had steam
rolled the Humphrey resolution and re-
fused to recognize Mayor Woodward
citizens committee of ten. Mayor
woodward had retaliated by vetoing
councils charter revision committee oil
ten councilmen and ten citizens. The
only compromise he suggested was for
council to pass the Humphrey resolu-
ton and he then would approve a sep
arate council charter revision commit
tee, thus making two charters to be
submitted to the people.
Alderman Gambler stated the object
OF the visit of the committee to Mayor
woodward. Mayor Woodward replied
that he was ready to do anything to-
ward real charter reforms. He said
that he was satisfied that an over
whelming majority of the people of At
lanta demanded a complete revision OF
the charter, and that he was convinced
some of the members of council had
been trying to block the movement. on
account of political animosity to him
He urged that it was a time for al
political factionalism to be put aside.
Councilman Smith asked Mayor
Woodward if he would appoint char

and citizens and submit II to council.
Mayor Woodward said he would not.
They asked him Il he would consent
then, to a committee of one council
man from each ward and one citizen
from each ward, to be appointed by the
mayor after councils authorization.
Mayor Woodward answered that if
council would allow him to add five
citizens from the city at large, he
would consent.
Alderman Gambler said he would
to appoint more than one citizen from
the city at large from any one ward.
Mayor Woodward agreed to this.
They decided that the committee of
twenty-five should select its own chair

representatives should be on the COM

not only agreed. but that he wanted a
new charter that would better regulate

Alderman Gambler told the council. in
making the committees report of the
conference, that he thought all had act

MACON STRIKERS
ASK ARBITRATION
StrikebreakerS Reported En-
Route From Philadelphia
to Take Places.

MACON GA, Jan. 24.-EffoVts to eff
feet a reconciliation between the mem
Der of the Electricians union and the
Central Georgia Power Company are
being made at a conference which is
being held this afternoon between a
committee from the striking eectri-
clans and the officials of the power
company
A committee from the electricians.
who struck two weeks ago for an in
crease in wages of from SO to $3.50 a
of the Central Georgia Power Company.
today and asked that the differences
of the strikers and the company be sub
mttted to an arbitration board Their
request was at first refused fatty. but
later and before the conference was
completed, Judge FELTON, consented to
meet the committee again this after
noon to further consider a settlement.
In view Of the fact that the reports
safe that dozen non union electrical
workers are on their way here from
Philadelphia to take the place of the
strikers it is not thought that the of
ticials of the power company will con-
sent to arbitration.
Strike breakers Expected.
The officials refuse to admit or deny
that strike breakers are en- route to
Macon but the fact that General Man
ager Wickham has gone to Philadel-
phia has caused the laborng people
here to believe that strike breakers are
coming
1t was reliably reported in labor cir
cles here today that the strike breakers
will arrive tomorrow or Monday.
The sympathy of the laboring people
is with the strikers. and the fact that
the Central Labor union is taking an
active part in the efforts to have the
wages of the electricians raised makes
it practically certain that any effort on
the part of the power company to i'm
port electrical workers will be resisted
by the laboring people
A subscription is being raised for the
benefit of the striking electricians. The
men are doing their own cooking in
their hall on Broadway. A statement
was issued from their headquarters to-
day to the effect that they will not re-
turn to work unless their demands are

.FREMSTAD AS ELIZABETH
Appears for First Time in
"Tannhauser" at Metropolitan.

"Tannhauser," most humanity beautiful
of wagneran operas, was sung last night
al the Metropolitan Opera House for the
first time this season: this time with an
Elizabeth new to the New York stage. OF
Elizabeths we have had many. for Eliza
beth is one of the few women in the his
tory OF opera whose supreme purity has
made her only the more radiantly human,
and hence a character most grateful to
it's impersonator. II was Nine. OnNe
Fremstad. who. descending from her ac-
customed Venusberg. where so long she
had reigned supreme. suddenly metamor-
phoszed herself into this lovely figure
and. lovely as our previous Elizabeths
have been, there was none lovelier than
the one who sang last night
The conversion of Tannhauser himself
was surely no such feat as that accom-
plished by Nine. Fremstad. and yet there
was in this Christian maiden no trace OF
the pagan queen save that of her beauty.
For once vice. even in its externals, was
triumphantly put to rout. Last nights
Elizabeth was a girl of twenty, and II at
times her voice was not without trace or
aciditv, she phrased the music as no girl
of twenty ever could have done In short,
Nine. Fremstad has the supreme faculty
of making vice or virtue equally at
tractive.
The others in the cast have often been
heard before Nine. Matchmaker was
Venus AID Mr.. Urlus Tannhauser. II
neither of these are their happiest parts
both are too sincere artists not to make at
least agreeable impressions. Mr.. Well was
an earnest Wolfram, although 1t was az
iicult to evolve from him the figure OF one
