There IL absolutely no initiative in

the submission of any ordinance passed
ny the council to their decision AT the
polls. As an additional safeguard, he
said, Sthe new bill requires that all ordi-
nances granting franchises or for bond
issues must be submitted 20 the people.
As TO civil service, DR.. Hatton de-
clared that the civil service provisions
OF. the old charter were not enforceable,
while the civil service clauses of the

hensively and rigidly drawn that they

HELPLESS CROWD SEES
LIONESS KILL KEEPER
By the Associated Preas.


WOODBURY., n. J.. May 9.-Panio
gripped Woodbury. for an hour yester-
day afternoon when a lioness on ex-
hibit in a circus sideshow killed her
keeper before a small crowd Of spec
tators, escaped from her cage and
bounded into q small clump OF woods
which adjoins the town.
Screams Of persons who saw her ex-
cited the audience in the main tent
and panic followed.
Terrified mothers ran through tho
streets seeking their children. Other
women barricaded their homes and
sought refuge in cellars. Shopkeepers
closed their doors, and word was sent
to the public school, about to close,
not to release the children until the
lioness had been killed.
In the meantime circus attendants
accompanied by men and boys of
Woodbury., invaded the woods to
which the lioness had fed, and after
a thrilling chase cornered her and
ended her life.
