CHARTER AMENDMENT
THOUGHT TOO DRASTIC
Lawson Sidesteps on Question
of Legality of Measure
Recently Adopted

The recently enacted charter amend
ment denying the common council the
power to grant the use or occupation
OF the streets to abutting property
owners or others has been thrown into
the discard by the council committee
on streets.
Corporation Counsel Lawson in.
formed individual members OF the
committee, Monday morning, that he
was not anxious to give an opinion
previously asked for, defining the
scope OF the new amendment. The
corporation counsel advised the alder.
men TO use their own discretion In
granting street privileges. The com.
mittee members took the hint and
speedily granted number OF petitions
that had been held UP pending the
decision or the corporation counsel
Fourteen such petitions for por
techocheres, covered areas, hoists and
lamp posts for decorative lights will
be reported out favorably to the coun
ell next Tuesday night No permits
will be recommended for gasoline sta,
lions outside the lot line. The com.
mittee is still Withholding action on
about a score of these.
In an interview, Corporation Coun-
sci lawson refused to say that the
charter amendment is too drastic In
effect
All laws are supposed to be good
laws" was Mr.. Lawson's manner of
evading a direct answer. Il will say
that still think the council can use
its own judgment In granting ease
ments IN fhe public streets and high
ways"
The charter amendment on which
Mr.. Lawson does not care to give an
opinion, was drawn up by himself at
the suggestion of Aid. John G. Lodge.
IF the aldermen demand an opinion
/ will give one," said Lawson, but he
would not intimate what the nature
OF the opinion would be.

Lawson spoke said II was their impress.

Lester Burgess. 20-year-old mess
room boy on the steamer City or

In police court Monday morning with
one cent In his pocket.
Il gave 1t all to Charles Brown"
said Burgess, simply He told me
his mother was dying in Boston. and
he had no money to go there and see
her He told me he didn't have the
nerve to break In and take the
money, but he knew there was some
in the baggage room I'd do more
than that for a fellow whose mother
was dying and who wanted to go and
see her"
Burgess said he gave Brown every
cent Of the money, and also contribut-
ed what change he had. He didn't
even have enough to pay for a meal.
Brown has gone to Boston He
will not be brought back.
The charge against Burgess was re-
duced to simple larceny, and Justice
Gainey fined him $40, with 80 days
as the alternative.
Burgess took the 80 days.

of old associations. Nevertheless,
the time is coming when the desir-
ability of making change will
have to receive serious consideration.
Not only New York, but a number
OF other centres OF tennis are anx-
ious to stage the championship
meeting
One Of the movements. the prog
ress Of which was greatly retarded
by the defeat sustained by Maurice
e. Mclaughlin at the hands of r,
Norris williams in the finals OF the
national tournament at Newport last
summer, was a campaign on the part
of Californians to force the allot-
ment Of the 1915 tournament to the
Pacific coast.
On the grounds that California
had led In the tennis of the nation
for a couple OF years and held the
doubles and singles titles Califor.
MIA would have been able to put
forward a strong chain of logic, and
II the West had wished to go to the
length of inducing the title-holders
to defend their titles in the event of
refusal, the problem of satisfying all
parties concerned might have been
hard one.
AS far as Philadelphia is concerned
the tennis set 80 closely conforms to
the Newport society delegation that
the Quaker City is not likely to make
any strong bid for the championship
meeting. Boston is near enough to
Newport SO that people can COM
mute. New York and California are

night In New York, discussed plans

As another innovation II Is the in

of increasing good fellowship and
friendly feeling.

One Of the problems which is de-

made upon Newport as the citadel Of

nevertheless. This year. however,
these Is a different situation con-
fronting the tennis authorities than
ever before, and. while II would be
hazardous to predict that Newport
will not get the appointment, a
movement 10 under way which IL
likely to mean that Newport will not
receive the designation each year as
