under Is years of age on the streets af-

boys than to allow them to run on the
streets at night.

Faulkner presented number of petit
tions from citizens of this State, among
them one from John II. Crawford and
20 others of Greenbrier, praying for the
adoption of the proposed religious
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States; which were referred to
