Editoy The Georgian:
What has brought on all the
strife among our citizens about
a new charter? Do the people
want the charter of the Commit
tee of Twenty-Five or not, and If
not, do they want the one pro-
posed by Council? They don't
want commission form of govern
ment. nor a form as near like it
as this so-called peoples charter.
Let's see. In the fall OF 1911
an election was called for a char
ter practically the same. The re-
suit was: For the charter. 2.96S;
against it, 1858. After that in the
fall elections almost a new Coun-
Gil was elected. Was it for a new
charter? The vote of Is to 10
against ii shows they are not.
1t is not the people demanding a
new form of government. Who,
then, is it? A set Of men who for
several years have been trying to
get control of the affairs of the
city for some other purpose than
the general good. At the last
election for Mayor. Woodward
was elected. and unquestionably
some people spent money on this
race. The first meeting of Council

EXPERTS DEFEND WOOD ALco.
HOL
Prof. Baskerville Reports on Status of
the Commodity Manufacturers
Back Him In

Buffalo. n. Y. Nov 1S-Prof. Charles
baskerville. the chemist of the New
York State Factory Investigating Com
mission, entered a vigorous defense of
wood alcohol today at large meeting
ef the manufacturers of that commodi-
" from all parts Of the United States.
Prof. Baskerville is a chemist of prom
fnenee, holding the position of director
af chemical laboratories of the College
# the City of New York and being
chairman of the committee on occupa-
tional diseases of the American Chemi-
cal Society.
In his report Prof. Baskerville de-
clared that the sensational attacks
made on wood alcohol for years past
We're without merit. The product, he
said, was one of the most widely used
md valuable solvents known to the
chemical and industrial world and it
was only injurious to health when TAX
an internally or when its concentrated
iapors We're breathed for long periods
# tne in inadequately ventilated
spaces. Practically all reported cases
+ poisoning by wood aleonol had been
raced to the drinking of the liquid by
PERSONS Indifferent to the consequences
of taking into their stomachs anything
that promised intoxication. Prof. Bask-
rville was not averse to a reasonable
safeguarding of the public by regula-
lion of law. Declaring that under ordi-
nary manufacturing conditions wood
alcohol was harmless. the speaker said
that IL Federal or a uniform State
aw was enacted and enforced prohib-
ting the illegitimate uses of the article
and providing that all packages of
wood alcohol should bear a poison
label. the pubic will be adequately
safesuarded and the legitimate field of
commercial activity of wood alcohol
reed from unfair handicaps."
Testimony supporting Prof. Basker-
VILE conclusions was submitted by
many leading manufacturers using
wood alcohol in their business, among
them being the Eastman Kodak Co.,
of Rochester, n. Y; the Celiuloid Com
pany, Arlington Company, Anderson
Chemical Co. and VIM. Zinsser & Co.,
of New York City; Berry Bros. of De-
troit, Mich; the Perth Amboy Chemi-
cal Works of Perth Amboy, n. j., and
