" - ; -: PWCELL'S COMMISSION FOLK WILL GET BUSY Plan To Have Meeting After Holidays To frame The Plans nrrrr i- The friends of the commission form of government have decided that the question, now one of the most vital of the hour, shall be taken up with all of the energy and vim at their command, and that within a few days or just as soon as the holidays are out of the way, definite steps will be taken with a view to formulating de tails of the plan to be worked out. - It is proposed to call a general meeting, unless present plans are al tered, to be held early An. the new year, when the whole question of government by commission form or a limited number of councllmen, will be threshed out thoroughly, and . the best and most acceptable scheme adopted that can be arrived at. " The commission form of govern ment supporters do not look for "any encouragement from the aldermanic body as a whole, since the leaders of the anti-commission government have declared that no commission will ever emanate from the board of alder men. Consequently the generally ac- cepted idea is the calling of a mass meeting and then taking up the. prop osition in a systematic and business like way, and the affording of opporr tunity to all supporters of the move ment to . present their ideas and sug gestions as to what is best to be done. Those who are taking the lead in th3 movement do not expect to draw up and conclude a finished product and an adopted form of commission government at one session or one. meeting. It is realized that the ques tion is too large a one to be thus dis posed of. Besides there are several plans and ideas to be heard, and then the work of uniting all of the sup porters of the plan in favor of that which is most generally acceptable, will begin. No great difficulty is an ticipated in this work for the coin emission form of government support ers are in earnest in the matter, and will not let it suffer because of dif ference of opinion as to details. The pushing of the campaign with The new store wishes to extend their thanks and appreciation to all for , a most liberal patronage during the holiday shopping days.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26. The Navy Department is bowing to .the signal corps, which has announced that aero planes can be used for the purpose of discovering the whereabouts and movements of submarines.
