SINGING NOVELTY
ON KEENEY'S BILL

"A little singing novelty presented by
Whitley and Bell is one of the most
popular numbers on Keeney's pro-
gram this week. There is not a great
deal to it, but it's original arrange

formers makes it highly entertaining.
The Keeney audiences during the week
have shown their appreciation of the
turn and the pair has to respond with
encores every evening. They have
some bright little songs and an or
isinal manner of singing them. Miss
Bell has a curious double voice and
it is heard to advantage in Toxic, Z

By capable people. The sketch is
highly amusing and it is well liked by
the audience.

ITALIAN WOMEN
HAVING HARD TIME
(By Associated Press.)

ROME, August 5-The hill towns Of
Italy. some of which have been places
of pilgrimage for American artists. are
suffering particularly because they are
outside the radius of the organized re-
lief work which is carried on in the
metropolitan centers. These towns are
mainly agricultural, and the only sal
walton for the women, after the men
have been called to war, is in contin-
uing the heavy farm work, for which
many of the younger women are alto
gether unfit. Starvation faces many of
the families. In their behalf the Far
nese Relief Fund has been striving to
get the most needy together, and in the
Palace Farnese Caprarola necessities
An effort is being made to extend this
work to all of the hill towns that are
not within reach of the bigger organic
ed relief funds, and George c. Lee, OF
Lee Higginson, 40 Exchange ST, New
York City, has been appointed treas
urer for American contributions.

ATLANTA, August 5-Much as At
lantians on both sides might wish It.
for the interest of harmony and effic
iency, the Beavers fight is not yet
over. The next test of strength will
come in city council itself, when the
point will be settled whether the coun-
Gil is in sympathy and accord with
the action taken by the police COM
mission.
Council will be asked to choose be.
tween Beavers and the commission,
and council will have the right to
make such choice. The police com
mission under the present arrangement
is all powerful and had perfect right
to reduce or dismiss Chief Beavers. 1t
even had ca power which it chose
not to exercise, to have dismissed him
outright without either trial or hear
ing and to appoint man in his stead.
But this power is merely delegated to
the police commission by council, and
already the adherents of Beavers are
planning fight, it is said, by which
council will be asked to abolish the
police commission entirely and change
the present form of police government
so that council itself shall have the
final say-so in important police mat
tiers. This would mean a simple coun-
cilmanic police board, whose actions
would require ratification by council
just as in the case of the board of fire
masters. The chief of fire department
is chosen by council direct.
No surprise was occasioned by the
fact that Chief Beavers refused to ac-
cept the captains place to which he
had been reduced. In addition to the
humiliation and moral questions in
volved it meant the cutting of his
salary in half.
