CHIEF TAYLOR STRESSES TWO
 ORDINANCES TO POLICEMEN
Lookout for Sale of Liquor to Minors and MsItreatment of Brutes,
 TNA


 Don't let anybody sell liquor to minors and don't let anybody mistreat brutes. is the gist of the general or 5ders that Cbief of Police W. H. Tay- Tor specially impressed upon the men in his department for their New Years resolutions
 When the officers of the Police De- partment assembled for roll call at o'clock last night Secretary J. E. Scale. of the Department, read the orders of the Chief and the sections of the City Code which he particularly stressed.
 Sections 112S, 1156 and 1157 refer to the treatment or maltreatment of mi- nors in barrooms and bedrooms. The sections require that no person shall sell liquor to minors and that no pro- prietor of a pool room shall allow a minor to play pool or billiards in his place. A penalty for the offensive minor is also provided by the code.
 To cruelty to animals Chief Taylor asked particular attention of. his men. Not alone the actual maltreatment of stock. but the overlooking of animals must be regarded. as contemplated by the City's Code. as violation of the. statutes.

Y. M. (. A. WILL PLAY THE
 STRONG ILLINOIS TEAM

Tonight the local basket ball team of the Y. NJ. c. A. will play the champions of the Middle West. the University of Illinois. A hard game is expected by the local team. but con- fidence which cannot be disturbed has been given them by the defeat of the strong Vanderbilt team.
 For all lovers of basket ball, the game tonight ahould be the drawing at- traction over all other means of en- tertainment, as it will doubtless prove. Not only to the lovers of the game. but to spectators who love indoor athlet- ics should the game be the attrac- tion.
 It is a safe thing to say that the game will at no stage be dull or un- interesting, and with the playing and superior passing which the local boys have displayed on more than one oc- casion. the Y. M. c. A. team should get the large end of the score, If not win the game by an overwhelming score as was the case in the Vanderbilt game.
