WILL CATCH EN- ALL
"RING THE BELL SOFTLY, THE
COPS ARE AWAKE
Endorsement Of Dead Ordinances Will
Now Be Demanded Of the
Police

| SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 3O.-There
are times when the authorities of all cities
have spasms of conscience over the nom
enforcement Of the ordinances made to
govern the citizens. and just now the city
trustees have a severe case in regard to
the bicycle ordinances and demand their
enforc ement. One fixes the rate of speed
within the city limits at six miles per hour,
while another makes 1t imperative that
every wheel shall carry bell to be rung
on certain occasions, which must be loud
enough to be heard 100 feet away above the
din Of the street. The orders have been
issued to enforce these rules tomorrow and
to arrest all who break over their require
ments. If the police should have the nerve
to make arrests according to orders, and
the city recorder should enforce the fines
laid down, the result would materially as
sist in paying off the back debts Of the city
and put it on a good financial footing But
they won't.

The boys Of the high school have fur
nished the champion football team of their
class in former years, and are hard at
work to prepare the same for this season.

game, and will devote at least three days

schools at Redlands. Los Angeles, River
