where. Must not turn from one street
into another short of junction of center
lines of intersecting streets. No riding
in parks or on sidewalks, except by
police in pursuit of duty, who are also
exempt from speed regulations. At
all times everywhere to ride with care
for rights and safety of pedestrians.
To ring bell whenever approaching Pc
destrian who is crossing street, even
if not on a crossing walk Ordinance
does not apply to invalids' wheeled
chairs, or to baby carriages, or chill
dren's toy wagons. Law Of the road
relative to riding, driving, passing and
overtaking is made part of the ordi-
nance. Penalty, fine or imprisonment,
or both.
Hundreds of bicycles have no bells.
Why is this? Has the police force no
power to hail and arrest the silent BIZ
cyclist? Is it possible that the Chief
of Police has never seen case Of vio-
lation Of the law since it was passed,
on February 9th? 1t is known to
everybody else in Sacramento that
there are 10000 violations of the law
daily, and that nothing so demoralizes
the people as to see laws trampled un-
der the feet of the multitude, and even
ignored by the officers charged with
enforcing it,
The republication of the law will not
guarantee it's enforcement. If the
Chief Of Police thinks that his duty
ends there he might better hand every
driver and bicyclist card with these
words printed thereon: Keep to the
right always, and go at lawful speed!
This saves us the trouble of arresting
you" Such a declaration would really
embrace the very heart of the law, ex-
cept the provision about bells.
When shall there be an arrest?

DANGER IN The STREETS.
REIGN OF UNLAWFUL SCORCH-
ING AND DRIVING.
A Useful Law Which Has Been
Ignored by the People and
the Police.

Thousands Of people in Sacramento,
as Well as an untold number of Wis
itors, are beginning to wonder whether
the police of Sacramento have any re-
spect for the law that was passed at
the urgent request Of wheelmen for
the protection Of life and limb.
Sacramento contains more careless
and criminally negligent drivers OF
wheeled vehicles, horseback and bicy-
Gle riders than ought to exist in the
entire United States. 1t is known
to the police, as well as to every
person old enough to walk in the
streets alone, that fast driving is COM
mon, and that scorchers whizz through
the city every hour of the day in utter
contempt Of the law and of the SUM
bering officials Not only so, but the
wretches who drive or scorch through
the city at an unlawful and dangerous
speed also recklessly turn to the left
at all sorts of intersections, sometimes
running onto the sidewalks at corner;
they also usurp the wrong side of the
street, and each day reckless drivers
and wheelmen may be seen Fastening
in an easterly direction up the north
side Of such streets as j and K, to
the confusion of west-bound cyclists
and persons driving, who are properly
passing along the north side Of the
streets in question.
The Chief of Police cannot plead ig-
norance of the just and practical law
in question, which makes needful reg
ulations concerning the safe use of the
streets. for his attention has been
called to the matter time and again
and he recently himself republished the
law-but procrastination sits where a
sense Of duty should command. There
are policemen on wheels as well as
afoot who might readily give warn
ings, make arrests and otherwise make
life a burden to the violators of law.
But the arrests have not been made,
and the law remains a dead letter, to
the peril of life and limb, as the city
has several times seen exemplified.
One Of the worst places in the city
a place where a policeman ought to be
stationed for at least few hours, say
from II a. m. until 1 p. m. daily-is at

cyclists pass that point daily on their
way to their homes. They come flying
down Tenth street from NJ to n, half
the time being on the east side of the
street instead of on the west, as the
law requires. Even a large number
of those who are on the proper side or
the street nearly all the way of the
block from NJ to n are in the habit
of whirling suddenly to the east SIDE
of the street just before they turn up
n toward Eleventh. Instead of cross
ing to the right of the center, as the
law of common sense and the ordi-
nances of the city require, they cut
across the northeast corner Of Tenth
and N, often darting straight across
the sidewalk. What, under such cir
cumstances, with foliage obscuring
the view. is to become of another per-
son who is either riding a wheel or
driving a team in a westerly course
on the north side of n street, as the
law requires? Amid the perplexities

A LITTLE TOO MUCH.
White Men ALI Right, But Couldn't
Stand q Negro.

A warrant was last evening issued
for the arrest Of Rice Hayes, q negro
who conducts a livery stable at 915
Twelfth street, charging him with bat
terry, in lieu Of more heinouS offense
which City Attorney de Ligne doubted
his ability to prove to the satisfaction
of a jury.
The complaint was sworn to by Ma
bel Gmblin, fifteen-year- girl. and
the witnesses to the action are a mar
ried sister of the girl and a seventeen
year-old girl named Iva Stroup.
Mabel Gimblin informed the City At
torney that she and the Stroup girl
were on Thursday night approached
by a couple Of young men whom they
did not know, who offered to take them
out buggy riding. She said they at
first declined to go, but after consult
ing her married sister, decided to 60
for the ride, provided she accompan-
led them.
The party proceeded to Hayes stable.
and when the rig was got ready one of
the men Informed the girls that they
intended taking Hayes along to drive.
Mabel Gimblin was given the front
seat with the negro.
When the country was reached
Hayes, the girl says, commenced to
take liberties with her and she jumped
from the rig while the team was NOV
ing at full speed. She was subsequent
ly induced to get back into the seat,
and the negro again resorted to his
former tactics. She again jumped out,
but was again induced to return, and
after some further trouble with the
negro the party returned to the city.
Mabel Gimblin and Iva Stroup are
the girls who several weeks ago waited
on the table in a Chinese restaurant on
I street. They left the place after be-
ing warned to do so by the Chief of
Police. The girls were unable to give
the names of the white men who ac-
companied them

RAIDS ON FIRE ALARM BOXES.
AnnOyances Caused by Improper
Tampering With Indicators.

The officials of the police and fire de-
partments have been greatly annoyed for
the past month by the frequency with
which the fire department has been called
out. only to find that some maliciousiy-
inclined person or persons had turned in
a false alarm.
The new style of signal boxes which
have recently been installed in the vari-
Gus fire districts have made the turning in
of an alarm easy by the simple breaking
of the glass covering to the small aper-
ture into which the key is placed
1t was thought that the innovation
would enable the fire department to get
the alarm and be on the scene in less
time than it usually takes to find the
place where the key to the old signal sta
tions was kept and has been very sue
cessful in its operations.
A number of the improved boxes have
been placed in the southeastern section
of the city in the.past month. and no less
than three false alarms We're received dur
ing the first two days they We're there
Wednesday night the fire department was
called out twice lin the space of twenty
minutes by the narauders who have been
| investing Capitol Hill, and at last strin-
gent measures have been adopted to stop
| the practice. The police have been noti-
| fed to keep a sharp lookout on all the
| was caught tampering with them Be-
| sides this, the authorities have seen fit
| to offer reward of $50 for the arrest or
