admittance while President Wilson
was making speech to about 1000
persons inside the building. This sit

in the local arrangements and misun
derstanding on the part OF the veterans
and their friends. President WRson
was compelled to suspend when he was
half way through his speech on account
of disorders In the rear OF the hall
caused by a demand from those out

man OF the Citizens Committee and one
of the ushers in the rear of the hall
carried on a colloquy at the top of
their voices as to whether those out
side should be admitted. There was a
large number of empty seats in the
hall and when the word was passed
out ii seemed to increase the tumult.
Finally the doors were opened and a
large number admitted. Mr.. Wilson
kept his seat for ut least ten minutes
and when he resumed his speech he

CONCENTRATION OF POWER

Charter Changes Committee Profits BY
Presence of Mayor and COmlnis-
sioncr Who Suggest Numerous Inn
proyemcnts.

After hearing from Mayor Ainslie
and Commissioner Mccarthy last
night, with a few remarks from A.
Beirne Blair the Charter Changes
Committee Of City Council adjourned
to Friday night at s O'Clock.
While the committee toole no definite
action, the information gained by the
speeches OF those who appeared be-
fore the body tended to advise them
as to details in the framing of the
proposed amendment to the charter.
The pending question when the
committee was called to order was the
resolution presented by Alderman
Christian. concerning the duties and
powers OF she Mayor.
The discussion of the Mayor and
Commissioner Mccarthy spread some
light on the question. Committeeman
Pollock. Adams and Peters. before dis
eussion began, presented papers per-
tanning to the general subject. which
will be discussed at the proper time,
but which were advisedly presented
at slis time, so that both Mayor
Ainslie and Commissioner Mccarthy
might know what the committee had
before 1t for future consideration.
As to Method OF Amendment
The paper submitted by Mr. Adams
was to the effect that the Legislature
be asked to amend the charter so that
the City Council could. at it's pleasure,
propose amendment to the charter,
and leave final decision to the voters
Of the city. The idea of this. as ex-
planned by Mr.. Adams. was to give
the city the right at any time to
change its charter without having to
await the meetings of Legislature. 1t
was also designed to place the city

Mr.. Bryan then spoke in OPP
position to the loan to the Allies.
TT would not be wise for our
country to give encouragement to
wal loan on either side. In the
first place it tends to give the
influential element in our country
an interest in the success of the
side to which the loan Is made.
and they naturally want to protest
their investments. 1t throws their
influence against that neutrality
which our government Is bound
to preserve The money that is
invested in these bonds will be
withdrawn from the money avail
able for investment in other
things and will tend to make
money scarce in some sections
which are not especially interest
ed in the production Of war sup

Is hardly to be expected that our
people will take war risks that
are refused by the people in
Europe"
