NO ARRESTS LIKELY
At the Present Time for Teams With Mar.

At the Present Time for Teams With Mar. E rover Tires Than the Law Allows
 ''Tb4 question of widening tires said Prosecuting Attorney Webb Saturday night, "has been somewhat oyerstated and there Is TO imminent danger of arrests just at present for those people who own wagons and trucks with tires narrower than the law requires" He was referring to the statute providing for wide tires on carts and vehicles used for hauling loads, section 2032 of the statutes. The purpose of the law is to prevent to some extent the cutting up of maeadam, asphalt and earth roads by narrow tires.
 The immediate subject of speculation among team owners Is the amendment of the statutory law which provides for sworn statements from team owners regarding their tires. The amendment to the law was adopted May 29 of this year. It calls for q statement to be filed with the town clerk all tires of less width than that called for by the law were made before July l, 1896.
 scale of widths Is arranged in propor- tiOn to the dimensions of the axles. For instance, wheel whose dimensions are 21ax2 should have tire four inches wide. An axle 1ax1A calls for a time 2la inches wide. The requirements are, of course, only for wagons carrying loads, the police wagon alone excepted, owing to the difference In "lOads." After November 1 people who have not filed statement as to the antiqui- ty of their trucks are liable to arrest if seen using narrow tired vehicles for heavy work. It is likely that there may be one or two prosecutions next month to impress the law upon the team owners. The penalty is 9 fine not to exceed S100. F, tF s.i.E&:

BERKELEY SERMON.
First One Given by Bishop Hall, of
 Vermont, Last Night.

First One Given by Bishop Hall, of
 Vermont, Last Night.
 At Trinity Episcopal church last night Right Rev. Arthur O. A. Hall, D. D, bishop of Vermont, preached the first of the winter series of Berkeley sermons. There was an exceptionally large congregation, many of those pres ent being students of Yale university. President Hadley, of the university, was present and made a short opening address. The sermon was from the sixteenth chapter of the gospel accord ing to St. John and a portion of the thirteenth verse, which is: 'Howbeit, when He, the Spirit of Truth, is come, He will guide you unto all truth. '
 The speaker said that Christ was the manifestation of what truth is, and His life was living example of truthful ness. What Christ was on earth such God is, and thus God was revealed to Us by His Son. the Lord Jesus Christ. He further said that what Christ was in religious matters so we should be, as we are as Christ with God dwelling in us. It was a sermon full of practi- cal lessons. and many thoughts were advanced which furnished food for re- 1ection.
 The next sermon will be on the even- ing of November and will be delivered by Rev. Ernest N. Hires, rector of St. Thomas church, New York city.
