PATROLMEN PUZZLED
BY EIGHT-H0UR LAW
ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT RECENT
ORDINANCE
Chief viii Request Commissioners To-
day to Say How His Men
Are to Be Af-
fected

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, March 29.-Since the
passage of an ordinance at the last ses-
sion OF the city council which regulates
the salaries, vacations and privileges
of city employees the point has arisen
as to how the new law will affect pa
trolmen and others in the police de-
partment.
vides that eight hours shall constitute
men have been working ten hours each
day, and, according to Chief Favour,
must continue to work so unless addi :
tional men are appointed in order to
give efficient service.
When asked what he would do since
the new ordinance has been passed
Chief Favour replied that he will ask
the city commissioners to rule on ths
question at their session tomorrow.
Mayor Farley said 1t was not the in
tention in putting all ordinances re-
lating to salaries in the various depart
ments under one heading to make any
changes in the police department. For
that reason they, with the flremen,
have q separate section to regulats
their vacations, but the eight-hour pro-
vision is made to apply to all depart
nents by the ordinance.
In making up the budget last August
Chief Favour's request for money suf-
flcient to place his department on an
eight-hour basis was not granted by
the council, so there is some question
as to the Interpretation the city COM
missioners will put on the ordinance.

MINISTER
Makes Strong Appeal For Bet
terment of Conditions in
the Mountains.

"A lack of evangelization, a
want of social development and a
lack of opportunity along educa-
tiOnal lines are the causes to which
Rev. Leonard w. Doolan, of the
Highland Baptist Church, Louis
vile, attributes the troubles that
have made the mountainous dis
tricts of Kentucky notorious. He
made an urgent appeal for the
evangelization of Kentucky in
order that lawlessness and agencies
that are hostile to the civic liberty
of the State may be stamped out.
The people in the mountains of
this. State, DR.. Doolan said, are
greatly in need of educational and
moral training. Unless the peo-
pie in the mountains are helped
to help themselves he said there
is no chance for their betterment,
and improvement of their social
conditions.

Licenses of Three SaIOOnS--Rul-

Out of eleven saloonkeepers be-

the loss of their saloon license.
The members of the board an
nounced that in the future any sa-
loonkeeper who has beer of liquor
of any kind in any room about his
premises other than the barroom
proper will suffer the loss of his
license. This decision was made
following testimony adduced which
showed that many saloon men are
in the habit of placing beer in ice
coolers in rooms other than the
saloon proper on Saturday night
and keeping it there over Sunday.
The ruling applies to Sunday only.

by the Soul Winners.
DR.. E. O. Guerrant, who has

ers and was heartily received and

we want liberty for our peo-
pie, but that liberty must be
through the law, and we must have
laws for liberty" He said he ap-
peared there as no politician, but
only as a private citizen, urging
his falow-citizens to do their duty.
His speech was well received and
was full of sound and wholesome
advice, and great good will result
to the college and the people of the
community.
