In anticipation of the annual report
of the state industrial commission,
reports from the heads OF different de-
partments working under it are being

New City Charter.

VIEW lily NHdFIeT'
Columbus at last is face to
face with her new charter and is
about to grapple with many innova-
tions and to test experiments, which,
to say the least, are yet untried by
most of the cities of the country. In
the heat of the political campaigns
which have ragged intermittently be-
fore and since the primary of last
summer, most Columbus folks have
lost sight of the new form of govern
ment that is upon them. The fact is
that with the new year Columbus will
put on an entire change of clothing,
governmentally speaking. Here are
some of the Innovations: A public de-
fender discretionary with counciD,
public improvements by direct labor
discretionary, unlimited municipal
ownership of utilities, recall of city Off
cials, more extensive city initiative
and referendum, election of city treas
urer by council, purchase of supplies
department, new welfare department,
uniformity in salaries of city employees,
new franchise safegua. ds, publication
of city weekly newspaper, new civil
service system, limitation of the right
of mayoralty veto.

Postoffice For State.


While the special commission ap-
pointed to erect an additional Office
building has it's duties specifically con-
fined to that task it is certain that it
will go out of the way little and
make a recommendation which will
eventually save the state thousands of
dollars annually. This will be for the
establishment of postoffice in the
new building. 1t makes but little diff
ference where the Office is located in
this building, and the claim is made
that not very large quarters would be
needed. Through this office all depart
ment mail would be delivered Special
messengers who would carry the mail
to the different departments would at
the same time collect the letters or
packages for other state departments.
The state is spend'ng about $114,000
annually for postage alone. When one
state department has a communication
for another state department, instead
of delivering it by messenger, it is sent
through the Columbus postofice. This
includes books. papers and communi-
cations of all kinds.

r EMANCIPATOR'S SON SAYS TIPS
 ARE BAD
Robert Lincoln, Chairman of Pullman Board of Directors, Says Tipping System Is Bad One From Several Angles

WASHINGTON, May 4-Robert Lincoln, chairman of the board of di- rectors of the Pullman company, frankly told the United States Com mission on Industrial Relations he be- leved the system Of paying sleeping car purters should be changed and the wages of Pullman conductors should be increased Both these subjects, he said, would be taken up by the company's directors in the near flu ture.
 The son of President Lincoln free ly discussed the subject of tips upon which negro porters are compelled to rely for a living. He insisted how ever that the employment aqorded the negro by the Pullman company had been one of the most remunerative opportunities the race has had, while declaring his belief that the tipping of Pullman porters by the public would continue even if the ueagre sal ary of S27.50 per month be increased.
 Lincoln admitted the wage system for porters was an antiquated one and had given him considerable annoy ance. The commission also began an inquiry into the conditions of rail, road telegraphers and shopmen em- ployed by the Pennsylvania railroad company.

REVENGE PARTLY THE TEUTON'S

Russians Drive Turks Out of Persia; Germanic Allies Still Claim Great Success In the Carpathian Campaign

LONDON. May 4.-The Russians had at least partial revenge for the defeat inflicted upon them in western Galicia by the Austrians and Gen. mans by badly beating the Turks who iIyaded Persia. The defeat took place three days ago in battle near the frontier Petrograd reports the Rus Fians inflicted heavy losses on the Ottomans If the success Of the Mus kovites has been followed up. mili- iary observers declare. Persia now should be free of her uninyited guests
 This battle, however, is small affair compared with what Germany and Aunstria claim they have done 10 the Russians in Galicia. Their reports tonight state that some 3OOOO Russians were captured and a large number of guns taken
 Rumors concerniugs the operations in the Dardanelles were confirmed to- night when the British war office and admiralty issued reports stating after the beating of of the Turkish attacks the allied forces had taken the onen- siye on the Gallipoli Peninsula and were now advancing into the inter for The Turks continue to report the defeat of the landing parties and damage done to the allied warships
 The allied warships are keeping mp a lively bOmbardmcnt of the Turkish forts, both in the Dardanelles straits and at Smyrna
 In their reports of successes in Ga licia against the Russians, Austria and Germany make no mention of any towns, such as Gorlice, Tarnow, which were close 10 the front being captur- ed, which leads British military cri- tics to the conclusion that while the Germanic allies won important local successes. they have not driven the Russians very far back Should they succeed in doing this, however. it is asserted a general retreat of the Rus sians will be imperative and that the whole Carpathian offensive. on which the Muscoyites have spent so much time and so many lives, win be com pletely nulifed
 The Russian side of the story is anxiously awaited for the big success fin the east. it is believed here, would mean an immediate commencement of operations on a large scale in the west, for which the Germans are al- ready making preparations In Bel gium, thus far, the fighting has been confined 10 the Ypres region. where the Germans claim to have captured some villages which the British say they evacuated in the process of re- adjusting their line.
 The Germans say they made further progress with a raid into the Baltic provinces of Russia and that they defeated the Russians there as well as along the east Prussian frontier.

WASHINGTON, May 4.-While off, fIcials read with deepest interest the press dispatches foreshadowing an ul- timatum to China from Japan, there is stll a well defined belief here that the resources of diplomacy are by no means exhausted.
