Regulation to Govern, DSivcrs of Public
Vehicles,

James l.. Pugh, prosecutor at the Police
Court. has recommended to the Commits
sioners an amendment to the police regu-
lations governing the conduct of drivers of
pubic vehicles with regard to remaining
with their teams. There were two cases
recently before the court in which drivers
were charged with being more than five
feet from their horses. They were dis
missed on the ground that the law relates
to teams ON the move only. MIR. Pugh sug-
gests as a substitute for. section H. arti-
Gle 4, the following:
Section - Every driver of a vehicle
located on a public stand, or engaged at
any hotel, theater, reception, ball. concert
or private function, or any other place
whatever. shall place his vehicle while
waiting in any location designated by any
members of the police force on duty, and
shall be at all times within five feet of
his vehicle"
The clause" he continues, requiring
drivers to obey and conform to the de-
mandS and directions of any member of
the police force is not specific enough and
cannot be made effective. In order to
make the words or any other place what
ever of any value, the words as herein
before provided should be omitted. No
necessity exists for the clause relating to
disorderiy conduct, because that is pro-
vided for by an act of Congress-
The amendment has been approved by the
Commissioners.

TALK ON CONSTANTINE.
Miss Emery Says His Convictions Were
| Sincere, His Work Earnest.

The Religious Aspect of the Reign of
Constantine Over the Roman Empire was
the theme of the fourth of a series of lee
lures delivered at the Church Of the Enip-
hany late yesterday afternoon by Miss Ina
c. Emery. The previous lectures have borne
on the earlier church history. Miss Emery
characterized as unjust the charge that
Constantine's Christianity was merely a
matter OF policy and contended that al
though some of his measures as to religion
were unquestionably dictated by political
interests. there is no reasonable ground for
doabting that his conviction was sincere
ana that he earnestly endeavored to employ
his power for the benefit Of the church and
for the extension of truth.
Understanding of his policy, Miss Emery
said, required a distinction between the
sovereign and the man. He earnestly strove
for public peace and order. While untiring
in upbuilding and UNFOLDING the church, she
pointed out. he had extended to all a free
dom of religious thought limited only by the
Grafton of this, she said, tends toward solv-
ing the Inconsistencies which were apparent
during his life, as, for example, his taking
part in heather ceremonies as part of his
imperial function. Passing on to the birth
OF church councils Miss Emery discussed
the famous Nicean council of the bishops of
all Christendom in 325 A. D., when sub
stantially the same Apostolic Greed now
read in the churches sprang into being.
Constantine" she said, removed the bar
riers to freedom of worship and was able
to bring about the establishment of Chris
tianity as the state religion. Under his
sanction churches multiplied and multitudes
f1ocked to them The Christians were then
appointed to high government offices and
some were appointed to positions in the en-
peror's palace. He commanded Sunday OBJ
servance, although excluding those in agri-
cultural pursuits from that edict, set an
example by attending all festivals and sup
piled blaze Of lights for the paschal vigil"
