Mayor Hylan announced to-day
that he will call together his depart

at 1890 o'clock for the purpose of
formulating a programme OF proposed

New York City's programme Of re-
: lief, its programme Of home rule, the
I burden must be borne by the powers

The FIRST step in the city's legis-
lativa. programme will be an amend
meDt OF Chapter 444 Of the laws OF
1914 so that New York City may
have the same power as up state,
smaller municipalities to consolidate
certain departments IL such a scheme
would make for efficiency and econ
omy. Such an amendment would
permit other Important changes il
the city saw fit to make them.
There is absolutely no use doing
anything about the city's present
charter until Chapter 44I OF the laws
of 1914 is amended" the Mayor said
The Mayor then announced that
the city does not propose giving uI
its fight for municipal bus lines or
strictly five-cent fare basis.
I'VE are going to ask the legisla-
ture again for authority to operate
buses" he said. 1T has been
claimed by those who speak for the
traction interests that the City oil
New York has nU traction pro.

lature give us the power to attend
to our own transit affairs and We

BIRTHDAY PARTY.

The birthday party at the Com
munity Center Monday evening in
honor of Mrs. Emil Ahola's 10th
birthday was an enjoyable event and
participated in by about $50 invited
guests. The early part of the even
ing was enlivened by orchestral sell

Kiljander- Watilo orchestra and an
address of felicitation by Mrs. VIM.
Vuoti and very feelingly responded

AEROPLANE HERE.
MOST MODERN METHOD OF
TRANSPORTATION HAS AR
RIVED IN ELY.

The first aeroplane here since the
Fireman's Tournament of several
year ago and the first plane being
used as passenger plane ever in the
city arrived here Tuesday afternoon
and effected landing on the ice of
the lake.
The plane is a Canadian Curtis of
the two-passenger type. 1t is owned
and operated by Pilot "Jack" Ander-
son with "Jack" Towberman as mech
anician. The gentleman are at home
at Ortonville, Mimi. and have been
spending the winter making flights in
the Mesaba range towns where many
passengers were given their first
sight of good old Mother Earth from
an altitude of from 500 to 1000 feet.
Wednesday the boys opened for
business and that day made ten flights
with passengers, Albert McMahan,
commander of Frank Lozar Post be-
ing the first to make the aerial trip,
and booking many for flights later
in the week. The first lady to brave
the trip was Miss Leona Mccarthy,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Nc
Carthy. "Tony" Wulotz made
double trip, going across the border
into Canada and back. Many others
whose names we could not learn, also
went up Wednesday. Owing to the
snow storm yesterday no fights were
attempted.
The boys expect to be here until
after Sunday. The bay opposite the
boat houses is being utilized as land
ing place. Mr.. Anderson stated to
the Miner yesterday that the region
about Ely was an ideal flying terri
tory as the large number of lakes as
landing places made flying as safe as
automobiling.

THE CARLETON GLEE CLUB.

The Carleton College Glee Club
which will appear at the Auditorium
on April 9th, under the auspices of
the Junior Class of the High School
for the benefit of the Legion Mem
orial Fund, is recognized as one of
the best college glee clubs in the
middle west. This reputation has
been gained through hard and con-
scientious work, the members of the.
club being picked in the fall and
working on an average of two hours
a week until the spring concert tour.
Last year they sang in sixteen of
the larger towns of southern Mime
sofa and the reception they received
at every appearance spoke well for
the amount of work the club has spent
in preparation for the trip. The men
who composed the club this year who
were all new men as no club had been
formed for two years previous be-
cause of war conditions. There are
ten men on the club this year who
were with the club last year and con-
sequently the club will be greatly
strengthened by their experience.
General admission has been placed
at SOC with 35c for students. Re-
served seats will be on sale at the
usual place after the first of snext
week.

is no idle dream. The Ely team with
defy any resistance scored big VIC
tory over the Knights of Columbus
team last evening, scoring % to Ia.
1.-The visitors from the north
showed superior speed and passing
which gave them the strongest attack
played against the local Knights this
year. An excellent criss-cross with
short and snappy passes time and
again drove its way through the K. c.
defense for close throws at the basket
and the men were clever in evading
the close guarding of Scholen and
Zapp. Sauer also played good
guarding game, but the speed Of the
opponents and the short passes were
difficult to block.
The attack of the Knights was
seldom able to drive through the de-
fense of the Ely men and even long
throws at the basket were hampered
by excellent guardings Hansen sue
ceeded in planting a few neat throws,
the first early in the game from the
center of the floor. The knights
fought desperately to overcome the
superiority of the inveders but could
not gain lead.
Hegman, left forward for Ely and
the star basket tosser, scored five field
goals. Simonson started the scoring
in the game when the ball was passed
to him under the basket after it had
been worked down the length of the
floor by clever passing, Immediately
Hansen tied the score with his dis
tance throw from the center of the
hall. Hegman lost little time in plac-
ing the visiting team IN the lead and
the Knights could no follow. The
score at the end Of the first half was
IA to 6, all points scored on field
baskets.
.'The forwards were easily stars
for the visitors on the offense, while
Murn, former Normal school guard
and Skantze starred on the defense

BEST KIND
OF ADVERTISING
RECENT TRIP OF BASKET BALL
TEAM BRINGING MANY IN
QUIRIES REGARDING ELY.

Secretary Schreck of the Ely Com
mercial Club has so far received and
answered twenty-five inquiries as to
the section around Ely as direct re-
suit of the recent trip of the basket
ball boys in the southern part of the
state and the distribution of the lit
erature furnished them for the trip.
Everywhere the boys went they were
bombarded with questions relating to
THE Playground of Nation" and
the papers of the towns visited, not
only made mention of the game but
also editorially commented on the
advertising matter distributed, some
going so far as almost to reproduce
the matter contained in the circulars
verbatim
This has proven to be the finest
kind of advertising for Ely and far
more effective than matter inserted
in some of the larger papers and for
which big money was paid. Every
where the boys were commended for
their sportsmanship and gentlemanly
conduct both on and off the gymnas-
ium floors and every town in which
they appeared invited them to come
again.
The St. Cloud Journal-Press spoke
of the contest in that city in the fol-
lowing language. Such advertising
as this cannot be measured in the
terms of dollars and cents and we
herewith reproduce excerpts from
the article. The comments on the
game at Rochester from the Post
Record are also given in part:

WANT NOTHING TO
DO WITH ELY.
HALF MILE EAST REFUSES TO
UNITE MONDAY AFTER BE-
ING ENGAGED FOR YEARS.

By vote of 13 to II, the resi-
dents of the half mile east of the
city which includes the Savoy locat-
ion and the Sibley mine, refused to
become a part of the city at the
election held Monday. Notwith-
standing the fact that the residents
had petitioned the Council to become
part of the city, enough had been
influenced with the cry of high taxes
and other dire calamities, to defeat
the measure.
The proposition looked good to the
ordinary mortal inasmuch as the city
has been furnishing the territory to
be annexed with street lights, police
and fire protection, and several other
things not necessary to mention. In
view of the fact that the residents
were paying taxes to the Town of
Morse and getting their conveniences
from Ely, it was thought that to be-
come part of the city would be no
more than right. 1t was partly with
this end in view that the street lights
were put in and the wires run to the
district. A great many in the city
since the election Monday have been
prone to criticize the Council for
spending Ely money to furnish the
residents of the Town of Morse with
conveniences and the Council has
been importuned by many to cut out
the several perquisites which the sec
tion has enjoyed. So fixed has the
habit to consider this section part of
the city become that the wants of
the district have been met without
murmur. Now that a divorce has
been granted, it is up to the Council
to act accordingly in the matter of
fire and police protection and lighting
privileges.
What the outcome of the affair
will be is hard to conjecture. One
certainty however is apparent. The
vote showed that they want nothing
to do with Ely, hence the action of
Ely in the premises seems plain.

tributed by the team in the cities
where games are played"

(From the Rochester Post-Record.-
Rochester decisively defeated
Ely's touring basketeers Sunday af-
ternoon at the Armory, the score
being 36 to 18 at the end of the con-
test. The first half ended Ia to IL
in favor of the aces.
"The visitors put up a game fight,
but they were not able to stem the
superior tide of Rochester'ss husky
cagers and the best they could do was
to get fifty per cent break Roch-
ester fans admired the playing of the
Ely bunch and they have nothing but
complimentary expressions for their
ability as athletes and their gentle
manly qualities. Ely did well to
pick these boys to represent her.
