GASOLINE CHICKEN
NEWEST DISCOVERY
TO TEMPT EPICURES

TRENTON. n. J.. Jan. 23.-Pul1 up
your chairs and listen everybody Jer-
sey's got a new one, discovered inadver-
tenty today-its the gasoline chicken.
No, it's not quite like the gasoline sau-
sages that the auto operators use. 1t
is ever SO much more dainty .....
People who are not satisfied with
skinned llnuckles and oily countenances
can now set the real automobile flavor
by eating gasoline chicken And here
is the way it is done:
The fowl is bred and brought up in
an incubator that is heated with gaso-
line. Those who have eaten this deli
cacy say it surpasses in every way any
thing thus far discovered in the auto
mobile line And better still. it Is pre-
dicted since the discovery that the col
ored brethren who so chicken hunting
after dark will not dare light matches
in the chicken coop

Freda HempeI and Bori Among
Artists To Be Heard-S
or Eight Performances.

Definite promise of a grand opera
season for Atlanta in April, with fea-
lures duplicating those OF the 1912
season, was made today when Presi-
dent w L. Peel of the Atlanta Music
Festival association. named April 81
&c, inclusive, as the dates for the
season
The announcement was made after a
ratification Of last years agreement be-
tween the Atlanta association and Di-
rector Gatti- CasazZa, of the Metropoli-
tan Opera Company, OF New York.
Victor Lamar Smith a director of the
Atlanta association, now a resident OF
New York sent information relative to
the ratification of the agreement to
President Peel.
None Of The glory and prestige at
tached to last years opera season will
be lacking in the 1913 season. accord
ing to the promises held out The ma
jority Of the great artists already
known in Atlanta will return this year
-GadslN, Homer, Gilly. Scott, Martin,
Gluck and others.
Confident Caruso Will Sing.
Definite arrangements regarding the
bright particular star, Caruso have not
been completed, because Of a Monte
Carlo contract to which the great tenor
is bound at the same time as the At
lanta season However, a similar con-
dition applied last year when Caruso's
European contract was broken that he
might complete the American season
and appear in Atlanta.
In addition to the famous stars al
ready familiar to Atlantans there will
be a number of the new singers of the
Metropolitan Chief among the new
ones probably will be Freda Hempel,
who has been hailed as the greatest
living coloratura artist. She will sing
in three performances-Lu Travia-
Ia and another yet to be selected. Lu-
cha is generally estimated as the most
beautiful singing opera that has ever
been written.
The program for the week will in
clude at least one or two Wagnerian
operas, and at least one from the Met

ALUMNI IN FIGHT
FORU. Of G.FUND

Atlanta alumni Of the University of
Georgia today took the first steps to-
ward obtaining an appropriation of
100000 from the state legislature for a
new dormitory for the university at
Athens for the installation Of a heat
ing plant, and the extension of Den
mark dining hall.
The increased attendance at the uni
versity has made a new dormitory nee
essary, and the students contend that
the cold winters nearly freeze them out
under the present heating arrangement
Also they say that the dining hall is
so crowded that it is impossible for
all the students to be accommodated
These matters will be taken up to-
night at the second annual meeting OF
the local alumni association at the
University club. Governor Brown and
Governor elect Slaton will be present
and a member Of the faculty and q
student representative will tell the
alumni how great are the needs mem
toned
There are nearly 500 alumni OF the
university in the city. among whom are
many leaders in the business and So

Mayors Veto
Hit At Council

Mayor Woodward in a veto message
read to council this afternoon raped
the members for their charter reform
tactics He hit directly at councils
committee, Of which Alderman John S
gests that if council will pass tina
Humphrey resolution creating a char
ter revision committee OF five council
men and ten citizens. TO be appointed
by the mayor, he will approve the coun-
ell charter revision committee OF ter
members, that the charters of both
committees may be submitted to the
people for selection.
An effort will be made TO override the
mayors veto and let the council char
ter revision committee of ten council
men and ten citizens stand But theirs
is little chance Of getting the necessary
two thirds vote for this move. Mayor
WoodWards friends will urge the adop-
ton OF his suggestions
IF your honorable body sees fit TO
deny the people the privilege OF voting
on the two charters" Mayor Woodward
said. 81 suggest that the people come
together in a mass meeting in the Au-
ditorium and take this most important
matter of the city into their own hands
and thus secure genuine results"
The mayors message follows:
In the late campaign for the
mayOralty. one of the main issues
was for comprehensive and hon
est revision Of the city charter-a
revision that meant something in
the way of securing results and
placing responsibility. During that
campaign l took a very decisive
stand for that kind Of a charter
and In my inaugural address |
stressed that feature very strongly.
The people do not take kindly to
the action of the general council in
setting aside their measure, which
looks to genuine reforms along
charter revision lines, and the sub
stitution therefor OF a self-appoint-
ed committee, both as to member
ship and chairman
1t is almost unbelievable that any
body of men, especially public serv-
ants, would fiaunt any such prop
osit!on in the faces of the people. 1t
is in a way, telling the people that
they do not know what they need
or want. but that we will vote for

tee to dictate to them as. TO what

Last fall, when it became known that
Judge Shields would seek the senator

he would not be d candidate but would
support Shields. That declaration has
been repeated even since the legislature
convened less than three weeks ago.
The break between Shields and Gates
has come since the baloting for SEN

Shields, heretofore known as an indie
pendent Democrat, was refused the
caucus nomination of that faction and
