Aaron Burr Adler Man
Than Geo. Washington,
Says Dean of College
Professor of Law Advances New
Ideas of Father of His
Country.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 2s.-George
Washington is in danger of becoming
little known and falling into the class
Of demi- gods and NEUROLOGICAL heroes:
his early education was neglected he
was not eloquent in speech and his
hearing was poor; he was poor poet,
though he' frequently attempted to
write verse. and he was one Of the
richest men in America in his day.
These we're ideas of the Father of
Our Country as brought out by Dean
William r. Vance, of tho law school
OF the University of Minnesota. He
said Aaron Burr was q far ADLER man
than Washington.
But" he said, Burr was not ami
mated by the proper Ideals. His ac-
tons were unlike those of Washington,
and were infractions against the gen
eral laws OF society. It was for this
reason that Burr couldn't succeed while
Washington, less capable man
reached his goal"

ANTS CHARTER
AIDS REFORNERS

Joseph Loewus, Second ward repre-
sentative on the charter revision com
mittee Of 20, said today that the Second
ward meeting called for Saturday night
to discuss the charter had been linden
nitely postponed. Mr.. Loewus explained
that owing to present unsettled condi-
ttons he did not think fair expression
of the sentiment of his ward could be
gained at a public meeting at this time.
Mr.. Loewus was very undecided at
first as to what position he would take
regarding the proposed new charter He
was furnished q copy of the substitute
charter drawn by Orville Hall, Aldfne
Chambers and other politicians. After
studying both closely, he said he felt no
hesitancy in deciding to vote TO submit

ter TO the people,
Mayor Woodward has given out q
statement declaring he is confident the
new charter will pass both the commit
leo OL 90 anu the COuDCll Win pTdCIlCal-
ly no changes.
Aldine Chambers and Alderman
James R. Nutting, two OF the most ac-
| tive opponents of charter reforms. both
announced that they are even opposed
to submitting the new charter to a vote
of the people. Alderman Nutting vir-
tually admits that If it is submitted the
people will adopt it, but he asserts it is
vicious document and that he would
oppose council giving 1t the nominal
support of submitting it to the people.
While Mr. Chambers has no vote, he
has influence with the element oppos-
ing the charter
Alderman John f. McClelland char
acterized Alderman Nutting's attitude
| as follows:
Jim Nutting reminds me of the
| twelfth man on jury who prevented a
verdict being agreed upon for days and
days. Finally when a mistrial had re-
suited one of his friends asked him
/ what the trouble was.
There were eleven of the hardest
headed men on that jury that ever

MACON, GA, Feb. 26.-Chief of Po-

John Davis are being tried this after
noon by the mayor and council on
charges filed by Policeman J, J. Proc
tor. The latter claims that in making
an arrest for which he is now under

superior officers. and that he lied at
his own trial--or at least withheld
much OF the facts-in order to pro-
tect the chief

Their than Proctor's allegations.

Proctor charges that when he arrest
ed Harry Bernstein, a theater mana
ger, recently, for refusing him adrnis-
sion without q ticket, he acted I'M
der specific orders from Lieutenant
Davis. who said, according to Proc
tor. at the time Of issusing the orders
that they came direct that day from
the chief
Proctor further declares-and in this
he is supported by Policeman Hollo-
man. who is also under suspension for
the arrest-that after the occurrence
he and Holloman went to Chief Chap
man and asked him for advice, and that
he begged them not to expose his share
in the matter, but to protect him, and
he would in turn look after their vel
fare They say that the chief agreed
to pay their salaries out of his own
pocket during their suspension if he
could not arrange for them to be paid
sub rosa by the city, and that he de-
clared to them that Mayor Moore was
in full sympathy with them and would
not let them suffer.
Says Chief Admitted II.
Proctor swears that in this and sub
seduent conversations the chief ad-
mitted giving the lieutenant the or
ders for repetition to the squads for
the theater managers arrest and lock-
up.
Lieutenant Davis does not deny Civ
ing the orders but denies saying they
came from Chief Chapman.
Proctors self-styled confession
which Is in the nature Of a voluminous
affidavit, has created a genuine SEN
sation, and there is great public inter-
est in the outcome of the Councilmanic

out the correspondence between Alderman
John e. McClelland and them in which the
alderman demanded large increases IA
realty assessments and in which they

Dear Sir: We have your esteemsd
favor of the 21st, and have carefully
noted the contents.
The question of assessments you, OF
course, understand. Is difficult one.
We have studied It for years and
under all the circumstances we think
the valuations placed upon the prop
critics you refer to are fair, and in
our judgment they should remain as
they are. We would be glad to agree
with you II we could, but we think
all the conditions justify the con-
illusions we have reached. Yours very
