ATTORNEY GENERAL SAYS
CENTRAL TIME IS LEGAL
All Records, Keeping OF Working
Governed by Statutes.

LANSING. Mich. June 4.-Eastern
standard time, recently adopted by
several cities in Michigan. got a black
eye from Atty. Gen. Fellows when he
ruled that a municipality can change
time cor its own local purposes, but
cannot tamper with an hour fixed by
act Of the Michigan legislature. which
has made central standard time the
legal time for Michigan
In effect, the ruling means that le-
gally specified working hours in fac
tories, the hours affecting negotia BILE
instruments in banks, the hours for
holding elections opening and closing
saloons and for regulating courts and
all departments controlled by state
law, must be fixed according TO CEN
trail, not eastern time. Ii virtually re-
verses the orders OF Police Commits
sioner Gillespie as TO the midnight
closing Of saloons. and when election
time comes, necessitates reversion to
central time periods for opening and
closing the polls
The attorney generals opinion was
given for Labor Commissioner James
y. Cunningham, who wanted to know
what time he should use in Detroit in
enforcing labor laws in which certain
hours are specified. The answer un-
equlVocally is central standard time.
The ruling is fiat. Where a state
law mentions hours, no matter in
what state epartment-central stan
dard time, as fixed by the act of the
legislature Of 1885, is meant. Moth
ing else can be used unless the legis-
lature should change that law of
1885.
Furthermore. the attorney general
holds that no munici pality has the
right by ordinance to change time
and apply that change 10 any state
law where the original time is men
toned

BRAZIL, Ind. June 4-The city
council has authorized T. W. hutch
ison. city attorney. 20 begin man
damus proceedings against Sheriff
William GarTigus TO compel him to
take away the prisoners who were
sentenced by Mayor John J Jones.

prisoners sentenced by Jones because
he SAYS. he doubts whether Jones
court is regular.
Curtis G.. Schoiield. county attorney.
has asked Atty. Gen. Mnburn for an
official opinion. Garrigus' contention
is that the mayors court in a NTH
class city may not constitute a city
court under the law His political
opponents assert he refuses 10 take
prisoners away because the fees for
board at the county jail are more
profitable than the mileage for trans
porting the prisoners the short dis
