deferred until tho committee passed
OH the larger issue Of whether there
shall be powerful Mayor as provided
BY the Jones and Civic Association

sugy csted by others. The committee,
however preferred TO dispose first OF

POLLOGk'S PLAN no INCREASE
WARDS IS SHARPLY ATTACKED
Mr.. Pollock's motion to increase the
number Of wards to six called out
sharp speeches from Alderman Fuller
and Councilman Jones' who warned the
committee that any attempt to tamper
with the present four-ward system,
particularly in the direction of increas-
ing the number of wards, would inject
into the charter change issue danger
ours political questions which might
defeat every effort at genuine reform.
President Peters, of the Common
Council. opposed the reduction cf the
present City Council which, he said.
has demonstrated its efficiency. In
point OF work accomplished and real
service performed for the city. ne said.
the Council. since its reduction to
thirty-two members, has made an un-

If you suffer from any of the all

ADJUSTMENTS
PACKED HOUSE LAUGHS


Just honin' for the sight OF black
ened faces. the sound of falsettos
soaring to the gridiron in sobby SONGS
of sweetest sentiment, the cracklc or
thud Of end-men's jokes and the crash
ing or whispered choruses of n more
than double quartet. followers OF
modern minstrelsy. as cxemplined by
Academy Of Music last night until
every single policeman in the audience
had TO stand up. In other words. the
house was literally sold out, from
chandelier to footlights.
And likewise from chandelier TO
footliGhts. great swelling waves of
laughter surged up to the stage and
swamped joke after joke that had
barely raised its head. That audience
wanted 10 laugh. and laugh it did.
Whether comparatively unknown end
men pulled well-known whcezes. OF
whether Bert Swor and John Healy
worked at their cleverest, IL was all
the same TO that laugh hungry house.
Even the sight Of an interlocutor,
CARRIED in colonial costume and hard
at work In the saloon Of Mississippi
steamboat, weeping hittcvl: about love.
sent the audience into spasms OF
mirth
l, stopped laughing only once. when
Eert Swor introduced an effective bit
OF sob-stun for the purpose of lead
ing Up TO another visibility punch, and
when he landed that one--well, even
the orchestra with the show smiled
Mr.. Field himself appeared only for
little while, and then in whiterace,
SO that lie is not to be considered,
except as the producer. But he de-
serves credit for having authorized. At
least. the introduction OF q novelty

lot. In other words, he is a fine light
innate singer and q tip-top minstrel
singer d well.
Bert Swor bears the burden Of the
Comedy in the first part. while his

The chorus dancing is we'll staged
and the chorus singing is the best that
Mr.. Field has offered in years In
addition. there are novel effects in
lighting that increase the quality of
the entertainment.
II doesn't matter about the details
though: Al. G.. Field and his minstrels
packed the house last night and kept
II in roaring spirits. Wherefore they
