WITCHEL LASHES PROPOSED CITY HOME RULE PLAN Mayor Calls Convention Committee's Idea Ludi? crous and Unscientific. ASSERTS IT WOULD HAMPER, NOT HELP New York Executive Tells Mu nicipal Officials People Must Make Demands Now. illy TVi-trapti te T Buffalo, Aug. 5. Di daring t> at the time had come for plain speaking. Mayor John Purroy Mitchel. of New York, severely criticised before the Kotary Club here to-day the measure of home rule reported by the Cities Committee of the Constitutional Con? vention. He declaied the Cities? Com? mittee was .?till trifling with the whole cuesti?n of home rule, without any ?'.raightforw ? ? -. ?? it. "This morning a proposed amend ment was introduced by the Committee." said Mayor Mitchel, "oo ludicrous in its contradietiona, so ro actionary in its praviolons and so un? scientific in it? structure (hat its en nctment into law as a part of a new constitution would leov? the cities with no more home ruie than they have to-day, and would throw into confusion the entire conduct of mu? nicipal government throughout this ?tato." ,. The Rotarv Club meeting was held to start a state-wide campaign for a larger measure of home rule for cities that has yet been proposed. Many members of the Buffalo Cnamter of Commerce otteoded and repr?senta uves of the municipal governments of other cities in the state were present. "People Cannot Be Deluded." "The great danger to the cause of genuine home rule." suid the Mayor, "lies in a reservation to the Legis? lature of the power to enact general . \ laws. The committee and the convention should elearl) understand that the people of the cities of this state cannot be deluded by a pioposal which, by the use of certain alluring phrases in a context of ambiguity ami uncertainty, give? th.- constitutional ?Mogates a pretext for declaring that they have granted a considerable measure of home rule when, in foct, they have not done so. "if the people of our cities really want home rub- they must make their demand? heard now or forego the op? portunity for twenty years." Mayor Mitchel presented a sarcastic analysis of the Philippin? |,.me rule propose'! by the I Committe?. "This Indian gift, this raptured colony-Philippinc-proposal of the ? - Committee." said the Mayor, "is worse than no home rule amend? ment at all. Such additional powers ;. are granted are certainly of negli | ble importance, are hamper? id by c imbrous machinery, and at best are Burrounded by doubt and uncertainty! dependent on litigation and judicial decision for interpretotion of the ap? parent gnu.t." \dvocatc?. Mayor's Plan. As a substitute for this plan, Mayor Mitchel advocated that proposed by recent conference of mayor.? of Itote, which, he said, would Ojiva oll the cities the power they should h,i4e 10 administer their "wn affairs. < ontinuing, he said: "\N> want home rule, not because of irritation with unfriendly legis 1. ture?, not because of a sentimental MtrcB i a KN?? ?;? ??rp to call ourselves autonomous, I but hecau?e we have suffered materi? ally, substantially, through the lack of it. I dare say there i? not a single | cttf but can pent to in?tance after instance of needed legislation denied ?ither through indiff?rence, partisan? ship or neglect, and to an many more Interfering laws framed without knowledge of the local situation or burdening the people by undue and unneceMsri expenditure.

Forty men whose puipose of betting on the races was cravenetted over by the title of "The Raincoat Makers' 1'nion" were arrested in a furnished room of n house in West Twenty-fifth Street last night, while, according to them, they were debating on a strike. According to Detective (?'Connor, how? ever, the discussion of labor problem? red chiefly in shouts of "Ten on White Hackle to win" and "Five on Cabaret for place." Two racing charts were confiscated by the police, who raid? ed the meeting. O'Connor'? attention was first at? tracted to the house bv the number of well dre.?.?vd men who disappeared through its doors. He asked the land lady, and was informed thi\t the Rain? coat Makers' Union was holding a meeting. The sounds which issued from the apartment were not of the kind usu? ally associated with the councils of downtrodden sons of toil. The de? tective then called up the police. A few minutes later, with Sergeant Butler and four other plain clothes men ol inspector Morris'? staff, O'Connor again entered the building. Oil a table in the centre of the room were spread charts of the Saratoga ami Canada tracks. Most of the would-be striker? were bending over these when the police entered. When they saw who the intruders were the charts vanished arid one man lifted his voice. "Since it has been put to a vote," he remarked loudly, "we will strike on next Tuesday. The gn-ed of capital can be endured no longer." "We will strike now." O'Connor in? formel him. "Go stand up against that wall, all of you." They were transported to night court. where Magistrat?- Deuel said that he was obliged t<- discharge them all ho? of lack of evidence. - e AXES FREE WOMAN'S BODY; KILLED ON V Scare in Train While Crowd Blocks Structure Exits?Fire? men Chop Platform.

I ow Amendment, Offered in Convention, De? nounced on All Sides. SAY IT NARROWS LOCAL CONTROL Minority Report Declares It Is Confusing. Illogical and Gives No Relief. I "in ? Staff ?' rt'?i?'i ,k',' of 11M I - Albany, Aug. 5. The home rule for] cities amendment, reported to the l Constitutional Convention yesterday by the Committee on Cities, ?a? at? tacked on all sides to day as being ev ? crything fxcept what its name implied. The Citizen: Union, the Municipal Government Association and Constitu? tional Convention delegate? branded the amendment as illogical, unscien? tific and farcical. Senator James A. Koley nnd Edward E. Franchot filed a minority report at? tacking the amendmont. Seth Low, chairman of the Citie?. Committee, whose ideas largely are represented in the amendment, rushed to its defrner. Mr. Low declared the minority report signers had not offered anything in the way of a substitute. The reply was th-it Mr. Lo4v had requested the minor it> not to offer any substitute. "The amendment narrows instead of widening the local control now enjoyed by municipalities," says the minority report, which also declsro? that the Low amendment does not give any ex? clusive grant of power to cities except in a few minor matters. It says the language of the grant is calculated to breed hopeless doubt, un? certainty and confusion, with the re- , suit that tho courts will have to de? termine the respective powers of the cities and the State in several respects if the amendment is enacted into law. Says It b a Compromise. "It is obvious that the proposal of , th? .-omniittee is a result of compro mise." the minority report reads. "We are forced to disagree only because the composite result seems to us to violate the fundamental principles that must govern, any measure designed to Beet the widespread demand from the citie? of the -tat?, and espeeially from the city of Ne** York for increased powci 'f ?elf-government. This de? mand i? based upon two principal causes of complaint interference? with local at'iair.? bv the Legislature and inadequate power over matters of city concern, even the most minute. "The relief demanded hit.? been grouped concisely under two heads: First, power; second, protection. A proper proposal for home role should, in our judgment, contain the following essentials, for which we have consist - curly contended: "Fust A broad grant to eJti? power, exclusive in substance SI well as in form, to regulate their local af? fairs, coupled with a prohibition against special legislation by the state with respect thereto. "Second The preservation of state sovereignty over cities through legis? lative control exercised by general laws. "Third The expression of the grant of power in simple, direct and specific language so as to avoid confusion and endless litigation in defining state and City powers and the manner of their exercise. "Fourth The right of each 'city at its option to continue as a legislative charter city or become a home rule city." Confusing, Is Charge. The report ?leclates further that the only actual exclusive grant given to the cities by the Low amendment is the determination of the qualifications, mode of selection, terms of office, com? pensation and m?-tho?l of removal of officers and employes. "If this is the extent to which home rule is to be granted, the constitution should so state simply and directly," it continues. "In sum, the proposal begins with , a promise to complete home rule to cities, but one reaches the end only to discover that it ir but a declaration of ; principles and that the limitations sub. sequently imposed effectively destroy the first impression and promise. If adopted it will tend to throw into con : fusion for the next ten years the exer ! eise of power by city government ' throughout the state. Such a measure 1 does not confer genuine home rule, does not eliminate mandatory legisla? tion affecting cite?, narrows instead of widens the present sphere of local con? trol of municipalities." W. K. Youker, secretary of the Citi? zens' Union, said: "It is evident the proposal does not furnish an adequate measure for home rule. It provides a home rule pro? cedure both difficult and obstructive. It retains the evil of control bv the Legislators with the resulting destruc? tivo political effects which horn,- rule advocates sought to eliminate Divides; Responsibility. "Responsibility for local legislative enactments in split up between the Board of Aldermen, Board of Kstimate and Apportionment, the Mayor anil the Legislature a scheme pernicious in the extreme to good government. !? scarcely conceivable that the 70 per cent of the people in the state who Ihre in -itu-s will accept any such cum? bersome and unworkable home rale proposal." The convention advanced to the ortler of Imal passage the Finance Commit? tee' bond and sinking fund proposal, which' its sponsors say will save the ? state between $50,000,000 and $S" 000 within the next fifty year?. In it provision would be made for the sub? stitution of -eiia! for long term bond?, and future payments to sinking funds created to amortize present outstand? ing bonds would be apportioned to pre? vent the accumulation of a large surplus. . The only amendment of any conse? quence added to the proposal \?u? ?uggeated by Louis Marshall It :.? In? tended to make certain that the %'21, 000,000 for completing the barge canal will be raised by serial bonds if the . issue is authorized at a referendum next November. Opposes Budget Plan. Contending that a budget originating with the Governor wouid take control '? of the state's money from the people Senator Robert F. Wagner submitted a minority it-port opposing the pro? posal recommended by the majority members of the Finance Committee j yesterday. He declared that the power of originating appropriations should be lodged with the Legislature. Believing ., i .-rake was made yester? day by advancing to the order of final passage the proposal giving legislator.? $2,600 a year instead of $1,500 as at present, former I'nited Stntes Attorney General Wu-kersham moved to-da> to reconsider the vote. The motion was defeated bv a vot* of 1?0 to 38. Wife Drubs Maid Who Helped Husband Take Off His Shoes _______ ?
