be sent to the Legislature for approval
and will take effect at the end OF the
session II not dlsapproved.
The Legislature nay delegate TO cities
such OF its powers of legislation AS 10
matters Of State concern as from time 10
time IL may deem expedient. but II shaIl
not pass a law relating TO the property
AFFAIRS OF municipal government OF any
city except by general laws applying 10
all cities OF the state.
II do not believe that the people u
New York city will approve this home
rule proposal said Senator wagner,
~for while IL is called a home rule bill.
In effect it ~withholds those rights OF self
government for which the municipality

y 1.-THE argument is used that this system
has worked well In the Philippine ISL
kands, where Congress has the right TO
yannul an act of the Philippine Govern
1ment, but | refuse to compare the city
yof New York with its enlightened peo-
pie to a government IKE the IhiIlpplne
Islands, in which even civilization has
mot reached a very high standard. There
fore its proponents make great preten-
Jelons Of its effectiveness, ] fear very
much the people Of New York are Sc
ting handed "A gold brick"
Z 1t wac then that Assemblyman Smith
his views Of the non-partisan
latitude OF the convention.
o "The idea OF any sane man expecting

TO give the Democratic city Of New
York hom+ rule when YOU deliberately
keep the city from It's majority repre-
.pentation In the Legislature at Albany
ITO which It's population entItles II" said
Mr.. Smith.
- "Why dom you admit that II you
were willing to give New York city
home rule you would just as leave give
1T the representation In the Legislature
1t Is entitled TO and that the reason
. you upstate Republicans don't give II
20 US Is because New York city would
1then be able to get equal taxation with
the rest of the state Instead Of being

of the annual expenses of state

GRANDMA NEVER LET
 HER HAIR GET GRAY
Kept her locks youthful, dark, glossy and thick with common garden
 Sage and Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it's done so naturally, so evenly. Preparing this mixture, though at home is mussy and trouble some. For 50 cents you can buy at any drug store the ready-to-use tonic called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning all gray hair disappears, and, after another application or two, your haid becomes beautifully darkened, glossy and luxuriant. You will also discover dandruf is gone and hair has stopped falling.
 Gray, faded hair, though no dis grace, is sign of old age, and as we all desire a youthful and attractive appearance, get busy at once with Wyeth,s Sage and Sulphur and look years younger.

The Ford delegates an- nounced today that the plan had been considered favorably but that they would withhold final decision on it.

 On account of the welcome given the delegates and the hospitable tone of the Swedish newspapers which to- day devote several pages to inter- views and descriptions of members of the peace party, the delegates say

BARRED FROM ENGLAND
Delegates of Danish Trades Unions
 Affiliated With Socialist Party.

ville.-The Overseas News Agency says Danish trades unions affiliated with the socialist party elected two delegates to visit England for the pur- pose of conferring with English labor organizations, but that they were pre- vented from going to England by the refusal of the British minister to sanction the project. His declination, the news agency says, was based on the ground that the delegates probab- ly intended to work for peace.
 One of these delegates, according to the Vossische Zeitung, recently was permitted to travel freely about Germany.

INDIGNANT MISS CALLS FATHER 'LIAR'
Anna KoloSki Creates Scene in
 Police Court This Morning

Mike Koloski of 56 Smalley street, who impressed upon the mind of Judge John H. Kirkham in police court this morning the fact that he was the father of sixteen children, was arraigned on a charge of breach of the peace and two of his daughter, the Misses Anna and Helen, appeared against him, painting him as a deep dyed villain.
 Koloski was arrested at his home yesterday noon by Officer George Mof- fit on complaint of his wife and daughter, who said he had been abus- ing them. On the witness stand An ma told the judge that her father uses vile language at the house and does not support the family. "He is never at home in the summer time but in the winter he comes around to live on us,' she said.
 "Where does he go in the summer time %. Prosecutor Klett asked.
 "Oh! He's out sporting around. Then in the winter he comes home and lets his daughters support him." replied Helen.
 The accused father took the stand and attempted to tell of abuse he suf- fered at the hands of his wife and
 
 his mouth when Anna interrupted from her seat in the court room, shouting: You're lying now, don't be lying!'
 Order being restored the father at- tempted to tell the court that he came home yesterday noon feeling very sick with the grip. Again Anna inter rupted, this time to say: You're lying, you were drunk.''
 That's what they say. They said I got drunk and they all jumped on me. I never touched my wife at all," the old man said.
 You lie, I can show you marks on her arm where you did," shouted the tempestuous Anna.
 Judge Kirkham placed the case in the hands of the probation officer to investigate and continued it for week.
 Wanted to Go to Jail.
 Officer John J. King arrested. John Thompson of Waterbury on Church street yesterday afternoon for steal ing a pair of boots from Theodore Wilson's store. Thompson said he did not care to make a statement 1T suppose this man wants to go to jail,'' remarked the judge.
 "Yes, I suppose that's what he wants" agreed the prosecutor, where upon a fine of $10 for drunkenness and $7 for theft was imposed and this afternoon Thompson was taken to jail, feeling much gratified that he has a home for the next few weeks.
