COUNCIL
BACKS new
CHARTER
PLAN
Compromise" Agreed Upon
Which Is Real Victory For
Genuine ReWsionists.
MAYOR WOODWARD TO
NAME COMMITTEE OF Is

The friends of real charter reform
scored an important victory this after
noon with the adoption by city council
of a so-called compromise resolution
giving Mayor James G. Woodward au
thority to name a new committee OF
25 to draft needed changes in Atlantas
system of government
Without reading Mayor Woodward's
veto message, which hit at previous
dilatory tactics, council named a com
mittee of four-Aldermen Gambler and
McClelland, Councilman Charles w
Smith and Orville Hall to see if 3
compromise could not be effected with
the citys executive who had backed up
the citizens mass meeting demand for
genuine reform.
The committee conferred with Mayor
Woodward and then introduced res
olution giving him the power to name
ten councilmen and ten citizens, one
from each ward, and five members from
the city at large. no two to be from one
ward
Judge Gambler made an earnest plea
for the support of this measure and it
was adopted without dissenting vote.
Alderman Nutting urged an amend
lnent providing that no stakeholder,
officer or attorney of any public serv
ice corporation should be a member of
the committee. He withdrew it when
Alderman Gambler explained that the
mayor had said he would appoint no
such person and also would bar any
city official except a member of city
council.
The committee will name its own
chairman and the charter reforms it
draws up must be submitted to council
and the charter reforms it draws up
must be submitted to council and final
~ to the people.

Freda HempeI and Bori Among
Artists To Be Heard Six
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
rs, 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 Metropol-
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 1918 season, accord
ing to the promises held out. The ma
jority of the great artists already
known in Atlanta will return this year
-Gadski. Homer Gilly Scott, Martin.
Gluck and others.
Confident Caruso Will Sing.
Definite arrangements regarding the
bright particular star Caruso, have not
bee completed, because Of 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 Carusos
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 Atantans, there win
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-Luc Travia-
Ia and another yet to be selected. Luz
ella 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 WagneriaD
operas. and at least one from the Met
ropolitan's entirely modern repertoire
and from Verdi and the Italian school
New Soprano to Appear.
Among the most brilliant of the new
stars will be the beautiful new soprano,
Bori. who has created a furore of ex-

Mayors Veto
Hit At Council

Mayor Woodward in a veto MESA &c
read to council this afternoon raped
the members for their charter reform
tactics. He hit directly at councils
committee, of which Alderman John S
Gambler is chairman. The mayor sug-
gests that if council will pass the
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 eoun-
ell charter revision committee of ten
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 there
is little chance of getting the necessary
two thirds vote for this move Mayor
Woodward's 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. Il 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 1
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 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 haunt any such a prop
ositlon 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 win vote for
and put ourselves upon a commit
tee TO dictate to them as to what

MEMPHIS, TENN, Jan. 2S.-The
most serious flood situation along the
Mississippi river is reported today at
New Madrid, Mo, where old levees are
said to be caving, Hickman, KY is
marooned and railroad traffic 10 the
manufacturing and business district is
cut off.
Another break is looked for at Big

steamer loaded with supplies was sent
there today.
Conditions at Beulah Miss, are
somewhat improved With 1000 men
working. engineers believe the levee can
be constructed before the river gets
much higher. Heavy rains have fallen
throughout the lower Mississippi val
ley since Tuesday evening. This again
will flush side streams and help the
rise to go above predictions of SO feet.
United States engineers at Memphis
admitted today that the situation look
ed grave, but contended that all levees
will hold. provided the stage remains
below 40 feet. The gauge at Memphis
at o'clock showed 36.5 feet. The
water was rising more rapidly than on
Wednesday morning.
The river gauge at Cairo, ILL.,. read

rising. Reports from the surrounding
country there say the flood is growing,
and farmers who have refused to leave
their homes are in danger of being cut
off altogether.

Chief Justice Defeats Attorney
General Gates, His Old
Political Ally.
POLITICS CAUSES BREAK
IN LONG TIME FRIENDSHIP

NASHVILLE, TENN, Jan. 2S.-Chief
Justice John X. Shields. of the Ten
nessee supreme court, was elected
United States senator for the long term
on the first ballot this afternoon, de-
feating Charles T. Gates, Jr., attorney
general. The final vote was Shields.
50: Gates, 81
Politics in Tennessee has seldom
taken more unusual turn than that
which pitted Judge Shields and General
Gates as rivals for the senatorship. For
years, until within the past fortnight,
they have been bosom friends, POLITICAL
ly and otherwise.
For dozen years General Gates has
been law partner of Samuel G.
Shields, brother of the chief justice, the
firm being completed by r. E. l..
Mountcastle, Democratic national COM
mitteeman. Eleven years ago General
Gates led the fight that landed Judge
Shields on the supreme bench, and
Judge Shields, in turn. championed
General Gates candidacy before the su-
preme court for the attorney general
ship. Three years ago, when the pres
ent supreme court was elected, General
Gates actively directed the campaign
for the ticket headed by Judge Shields,
the latter then being made chief jus
tice and General Gates being reelected
to the attorney generalship.

TEST CASE

Continued From Page One.
American Tobacco Co. BASE their
claim that the law is non void upon
the following propositions Of law and
fact:
The statute properly construed OPP
crates as to snuff only. The body Of
the act literally construed would pro-
hibit the sale of snuff and Of most
chewing tobaccos, but the title gives
notice only of snuff. Therefore, in ac-
cordance with section 81 of the North
Dakota constitution, the act must be
SO construed as to limit its operation
to snuff.
Right Cut chewing tobacco is not
snuff and is therefore not prohibited
by the act.
The act is not operative as to sub
%stitutes for snuff, but even If it were
SO construed, Right Cut chewing to-
bacco is not a substitute for snuff.
Even if the act prohibited the sale
of substitutes and Right Cut chewing
tobacco vas held to be a substitute
for snuff, it is not more Of a substitute
than are fine cuts, fine cut shorts, long
cuts, plug, scrap and other chewing
tobaccos which are not affected by
the act. There is no substantial diff
ference between Right Cut and these
Others to justify a discrimination
against 1t. InerefOre, TO exclude Right
Cut from the markets of this state by
permitting the sale Of the other chew
ing tobacco would be special ana class
legislation, a violation of sections II
and 20 of the constitution Of North
Dakota and of thai clause OF the
Fourteenth amendment to the federal
constitution by which a state is pro-
hibited from denying to one the equal
protection OF the laws.
If the title to the act be excluded
and the act be construed literally then
the effect would be to exclude from
the markets of North Dakota. Twist
tobacco, Scrap tobacco, Roll tobacco,
and numerous other chewing tobaccos,
while permitting the sale OF Ordinary
plug, fine cut and long cut chewing
tobacco as now commonly known to
the trade Of this state. This would
be mere arbitrary discrimination, vio-
|lative Of sections IL and 20 of the con-
stitution of North Dakota and OF that
clause of the fourteenth amendment
of the federal constitution that pro-
flibits the states from denying to one
the equaFfproteetion Of the laws, and
would render the entire actyoid.
