She Rises in Air.

NEW YORK, Oct 25.-Higher and
higher scared the biplane, like some
gigantic bird. The woman with the
lever in her hand smiled happily. She
knew they were now over 1000 feet
up in the air. The rather heavyeset,
elderly man passenger who had
crayed thrills in an airship, sat tight

ly compressed lips. He inwardly
hoped that this outward appearance
indicated real enjoyment of the SEN
sation of flying. Never for a mo-
ment did his eyes swerve from the
slight, girlish figure of the woman be-

In discussing the election. Mr.
Dancy said
This charter fight is merely for
the purpose of putting the Govern
ment of this city back in the hands
OF the people. There is no change
in the charter as it stands now eX.
cept that instead of the Board of
Bond Trustees directing the govern

der the direction of the Commission
er of Public Works. the City Counc,
through it's President, w have the
power through ordinances to be-
passed, to name committees which
shall do the same work that the pres
ent Board of Bond Trustees is do
ing.
The Board of Bond Trustees mere
ly will act as trustees for bonds thai
have been issued in the past. and the
Council will arrange for trusteeship
of bonds that shall be issued in the
future. In short, the charter amend
ment seeks to make the Board OF
Bond Trustees what the name Of the
board implies-trustee of the bonds
and not the supreme governing body
of the city.
Fight on Dignan Claimed.
With reference to a declaration by
! former City Attorney Bars, that con
tracts would be tied up in case the
charter fight is successful, Mr.. Dancv
said there was nothing on the face
of the charter amendments which
would indicate that there will be any
complication whatever in the orderly
and legal procedure of the city gov
eminent in all of its branches. for tho
