The Citv Charter.

The charter commission appointed
to draft city charter has completed
it's labors, and the charter is now on
file at the office Of Recorder Hatch,
where those who desire to do so
may inspect same. 1t is a lengthy
production, being composed of 81
typewriter pages, and voters should
familiarize themselves with its pro-
visions The charter will be on file
at least 30 days. and it will undoubt-
eddy be submitted to the voters for
approval or rejection in the near
future.
Under the charter the elective
officers of the city would be mayor,
four members of the council to be
known as aldermen, two justices of
the peace and two constables-
to be elected from the city at large.
The city clerk is to be appointed by
the council, and other appointive
officers are as follows: City attorney,
fire warden, marshal, members of
the board of health, street commits
sioner, water and light commission
ers, and park commissioners. The
water and light commission is re-
tanned with practically the same
duties and powers that it now en-
joys. -
In the matter of licensing the sale
of spirituous, vinous, fermented or
malt liquors, the charter provides
that no license shall he issued for a
fee less than $4,000; that no saloon
shall be licensed within 400 feet of a
school building. and that no applica-
tion for such license shall be con-
sidered unless accompanied by
petition signed by majority of the
voters of the city.
The city council is authorized to
control or prohibit the placing of
poles or suspension of wires along or
across streets and alleys, and may
require any and all wires to be
placed beneath the surface of the
streets or sidewalks.
The first election under the charter
would be held on the second Tues
day in March, 1916, and elections
would be held annually thereafter.
AS before stated the charter is
rather lengthy and it would be prac-
tically impossible to give all it's pro-
visions at this time. 1t does not
change the methods of conducting
municipal affairs to any great ex-
tent, however, and all who are inter
ested may inspect it at the office of
the village recorder.

A Pleasing Production.

A goodly audience attended the
home talent play at the armory last
Friday evening, which was staged
under the auspices of the K. o. K.
A. and @. A. societies, and all who
attended thoroughly enjoyed the pro-
duction. The title of the play was
'The Country Doctor and it was
enacted in most creditable manner
each one in the cast winning the
p]audiGs of the audience. The ex-
cellent acting of the young people
participating was pleasing feature,
and everything passed off as smoothly
as even the most critical could de-
sire. The affair was an entire sue
cess in every way, and those in at
tendance demonstrated their appre-
citation by liberal applause.
Of the more prominent characters
it Guild be indeed difficult to select
the ''star." The audience was de-
lighted with Miss Edith Farley. who
played the part of Mrs. Agnes Gill
bert, young woman whom fate had
not dealt with kindly, while Henry
Shockley in the title role added just
the right professional air to his bear
ing to portray country doctor in a
most realistic manner. The audience
was surprised by Miss Anna Wikeen's
clever Interpretation of her part, and
she acted the stage-struck girl in a
way that literally brought down the
house. Impersonating young
woman who mistook ~meddlesome
disposition, jealousy and meanness
for Christian conscience, Miss Dor
othy Dickey demonstrated unques-
toned ability, and her portrayal of
the character was perfect. Miss Abel
Busch in the role of a llospitable and
kind-hearted wife of country hotel
keeper also scored a Shit, - and Glen
Davis as proprietor of the hotel
played his part in most commend
able manner. In the role of the
doctors sister Miss Marian Fox
"starred, while Harold Anderson
as young man deeply in love, also
won the favor of the audience.
Donald Rawn added considerable life
to the play by his breezy portrayal of
the village loafer, and Eugene Hill,
in the role of a darkey with an earn
est desire to rest succeeded in doing
full justice to the part. AS the
sheriff Lemuel Briggs left nothing to
be desired in his acting, and John
Schmidt as the stage driver had
little to do but did it we'll. All in
all it was truly creditable perform
ance. and the young people are en-
titled to praise for their excellent
work.
Prior to the last act fash-light
picture was taken of the cast, and
Henry Shockley in a few timely and
bright remarks thanked the audience
for its patronage.
Not the least important feature of
the evening was the music by the
high school orchestra between acts.
Princeton can take real pride in this
splendid musical organization, and it
more than came up to expectations
last Friday evening. 1t is credit
to the village and the school.
All who were in attendance at the
armory were agreeably surprised by
the quality of the entertainments,
and favorable comments were heard
on every hand relative to both the
actors and the orchestra.

ers back to sleep. The clothing man
ufacturers are beginning to realize
the feeling of unrest existing among
the tailors and cutters and that the
Amalgamated Unions are reaching
the workers who are responsive to
the call for organization.
Therefore the bosses are going to
give lovely dance to the employees
in the hall they maintain on Milwau-
kee av. and are having welfare
workers go among the employees ask
ing them whether they belong to the
union, talking to them soothingly,
and promising all sorts of charity but
not word about living wage and
fair working conditions.
Frank Rosenblum of the Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers, comment
ing on this situation, declared the
time is past when sweet promises will
fool the workers who have learned
from experience that it is merely talk.
He says they have always been
promised everything during organi-
cation periods and even given in
crease in wages only to have it taken
away with interest when the cam
paign of organization stopped. The
clothing workers ahVe learned their
lesson and the same tricks or new
ones of the bosses won't work. They
are joining the union.

set by the United States for such repairs, fail
ing which she must intern. This decision fol-
lows the precedent set in the Geier case.
That the Geier case established rule of pro-
cedure is shown in the following despatch from
Washington shortly after the Eitel entered
Newport News: >>.--
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 12.-Officials
of the American government have decided that
the time to be allowed the German raider Prinz
Eitel FREDERICK to repair at Newport News
shall remain an official secret. Whether or not
the vessel is to be informed probably will not be
decided until the expiration of this time limit,
believed to be at least three weeks.
When the~Gernan gunboat Geier put into
Honolulu, a japanese cruiser kept up night
and day vigil outside the harbor, and Great
Britain, through its ambassador here, repeated
IL asked the United States how long time
would be given the vessel to make repairs.
Information was refused, however, on the
ground that to reveal it would be to inform the
waiting hostile cruisers and deprive the Geier
of the usual opportunity. afforded under the
rules Of international law for escape from a
neutral port.
g If the Eitel decides not to intern, but to re-
new her cruise, the United States will keep
secret not only the time limit for repairs, but
the hour of her departure The belief prevails
in official quarters that the vessel eventually
win intern, although the decision of the com
mander to have the repairs made has been
puzzling.

Will EFFINGER
APPEAR BEFORE
THE SENATOR'S?

A report gained currency today that
John Efinger. member of the fair
commission, whose confirmation by
the senate has been delayed the last
week or ten days, had asked to
appear before the senate tomor-
row afternoon when the subject is to
be taken up again In secret session.
Members Of the upper house profess
led to have no knowledge Of the sum
mons, however, while E1ingef declar.s
ed he had neither been summoned nor
asked to appear before the solons on
the matter
The question Of confirming his ap-.
pointment Is to be undertaken in con.
junction with approving the appoint
ment Of the remainder of the election
inspectors. 1t was reported that when
the senate last considered the Effin-
ger appointment the opposition to him
was so strong he could not be confirm
ed at that time. At the request OF his
friends definite action was postponed
until tomorrow.
