POLICEMEN MAY
GET SHORT HOURS
Mayor Does Not Know, But
They May Come Under
FiCht-HO11r Law.

Whether the eight-hour law applies to
the FL Paso policemen is yet mOoted
question, and the 'coppers" are living in
hopes that It does. The firemen are IN
the same condition. If the policemen
come under the category of watchmen,
then the eight-hour law viii not benefit
them any, but if they are classed as
city employees they viii be fully pro-
tected.
The mayor is not absolutely sure, and
dismisses the question with the state
ment that he is not d lawyer. He stated
Friday morning that he would not be
sure as to whether or not the police
men are embraced in the law until he
receives a copy of the law. The mayor
has wired Austin for a copy of the law,
and expects to receive it Saturday morn
ing. The police and firemen at that time
viii definitely know Just where they
stand on the proposition.
That the law viii have the effect of
increasing the cost of paving or the re-
duction of the wages of those employed
by the paving companies was the opinion
expressed by the mayor.
As far as is known here, the law has
never. been published. 1t was passed
at a special session of the 32d legisla-
ture. Until a copy of it is received Just
what effect the law will have remains an
unknown quantity.

GLOBE BEGINS WAR
UPON GAMBLERS
Superior Has a Townsite
Boom and Rush Is Made
For Lots.

Globe, Ariz., June 2S.-GIobe is in
the midst Of one of the most thorough
reform and cleanup campaigns ever
carried on here and it is being di-
rected by district attorney Norman
Johnson.
Attorney Johnson stated that after
persistent rumOrs Of wide open gamb-
ling in the saloons of Globe and Mi
ami he had approached the sheriff and
demanded an investigation of condi-
tions and the sheriff had agreed to
secure evidence against the gamblers
and owners Of the places
A few days after this conversation
indictments were issued for 80 own
ers, bankers, and players of games in
Globe and % in Miami. The Miami
men were tried first and all but two
pleaded guilty, paying their fines of
from $50 to 500 and agreeing that
there would be no repetition Of the
occurrence.
The Globe men all entered answers
through attorneys Hayden and Jacobs,
pleading not guilty and demanding a
jury trial in every case.
The first case, that of Dominic
Virnetti, resulted in a conviction and
a heavier sentence by the court than
given any Of the guilty pleaders in
Miami after this.
Lon Sanders, proprietor of the
White House saloon withdrew his
plea Of not guilty and pleaded guilty,
paying his fine and later in the day
sold his saloon, presumably to pre-
vent The cancellation of his liquor Ii
Ce1Se.
Several players have since plead
guilty and paid their fines but the
others have agreed to have one case
taken 10 the supreme court of the
state for a decision as to whether a
player in a game is guilty of a mis-
demeGucr.
A TOWNSHIP boom is on in Superior,
a few miles northwest of Globe. The
citizens of that place have applied for
a toWnsite and in a wild western
rush began to locate lots which they
will get from the government. Locat-
ing parties worked all night long
driving stakes and over 100 lots had
been located at midnight
