ANTI.SPIT WAR RENEWED
FOUR THOUGHTLEss ONES ARE
GATHERED IN BY THE ExPEO-

It's again in order for persons who
really must expectorate on the street
to walk to the curb.
The health departments campaign
against violators: Of the anti-spitting
ordinance was renewed yesterday and
as a result four prisoners who were in
police court this morning paid fines of
81 each. The prisoners were j. l..
Clark, Nels Hanson, James Hurley and
Robert Hilson. They were arrested by
Inspectors Loveland and Gillespie.
Clark was found on the corner at
Washington and Hennepin avenues,
where he stood absent -mindedly chew
ing the .stubgof cigar and splitting on
the sidewalk: The inspectors watched
him for several minutes.
'' on are under arrest for splitting
on the sidewalk" said Inspector Love
"say, is that against the law9''
asked Clark in surprise. "You see I IN

lice station, where he deposited $40 bail
to,.1nsurel his appearance in COURT this
morning. ITO .:-r:G;.i--.; -: $ -s.,t -
AS the health officers were walking
up Nicollet avenue their attention was
attracted by "a man who stood beneath
an awning at 308 Nicollet avenue. He
was smoking a. straightforward pipe
and was giving the sidewalk the appear
ance4 of, having been passed over by a
fourth ward street sprinkler. He was
gently gathered in and was registered
as >Nels Hanson - ,-, =.
In front of 62O Nicollet avenue three
we'll dressed young men were standing.
Two Of them expectorated on the side
walk as the officers approached, but the
third, who had received his education
on the question in st. Paul, did not VIC
late the law. The two violators were
arrested and three young men, laughing
at their predicament, went to the cen.
trail station. The two arrested gave
the names of James Hurley and Robert
Hilson.
"Why, it was only last week that I
was talking about this ordinance,' said
Hilson, and gave it my unreserved ap-
proval. Altho I have been caught by
it, am still ready to say that I think
the enforcement is right. I spit on the
sidewalk and will take my medicine,
but the next time I stop to talk on the
street I'll stand near the gutter.''
