POLICE RULES FOR CARNIVAL
Chief Tells People what they Must
Do while the KING IL Hold
ina Forth.

In connection with the coming Ak-sar-
Ben carnival. Friday morning Chief Dona-
hue gave his plans for policing the city
during the parades. The chief desires to
serve warning that the practice of placing
chairs, dry goods boxes and other articles
for seating purposes along the line OF
parade will not be allowed this year. as
il has been heretofore. Last year the
chief said a FIRE broke out in one of these
distractions on the sidewalks and they
are always a prolific source of danger In
the way of accidents. Chief Donahue said
Not one chair, box or other article OF
this description will be tolerated on the
sidewalks along the streets where the
parade will pass and you can not make
that statement any too emphatic. The peo-
pie have got to understand that this prac-
tice must be stopped. The crowds are
hard enough to handle anyway with the
few police at my disposal and these boxes
and chairs not only impede The work OF
the officers in handling the crowds, but
are an actual menace TO life and limb
at such time. ! have given instructions
to arrest All parties who persist in OBJ
structing the sidewalks in this manner"
Chief Donahue said that 1t was his de-
sire to rope on the streets where the great
est crowds collect. but II would take about
two miles of heavy wire and. eighty bar
rels filled with sand as supports for the
wires. and this course Of action had not
been definitely decided upon.
The chief also said that during the
parades the entire police force would be
on duty even TO the night oficers. and
for this reason he wished TO request ali
citizens TO pc unusually careful in locking
up their houses. as the residence section
would necessarily have to get along with
only limited police protection during the
parades

No other still hunter can travel 80

are a. crafty as the four legged hunter
when It comes TO a matter Of getting

ing and creeping after a feeding hare,
for all the world like q man stalking a
dear. The fox cannot catch a rabbit In
q fair chase, but it's food Is mostly rab-

no time does it display its skill 30 well
as when running for life with pack
