SUNDAY Law RED|Y|VUS
Police Commissioner at Meeting
Last Night Asks Why Statute is
Not Enforced in Alexandria
Meeting

Fourth-months ago yesterday, when
the custer law became operative
nearly one hundred persons were CIT
ed to appear in the Police Court TO
show cause why they should not De
fined for violating the Sunday la"
by conducting business on the flrst
dav' of the week. Milk and ice men,
street cleaners, bootblacks, news
paper men, carriers of papers, un-
dertakers, proprietors Of drug stores
ice ceam vendors, proprietors of cl-
oar stores and soda fountains, drlv-
ers of s'jitnies," express wagons, con-
yevances of all sorts and many 9TH
ers crowded into the court room TO
await the verdict.
The Sunday law was passed dur
ing the latter part of the eighteenth
century, since which time it has been
amended, providing that only works
of necessity will be allowed in the
Old Dominion on the first day OF the
week.
The Police Court called the defend
ants to the bar in squads. e., bunch
ing milk dealers, ice dealers, carriers
of newspapers, etc. and dismissed the
charges against platoons at a time.
There was but one case where it was
deemed advisable to impose a fine.
The interested party took an appeal
to the Corporation Court, but later
abandoned it. The docket on that oc-
casion was cleared in twenty-elght
minutes, the court ruling that in the
bulk of the cases the defendants were
engaged in works of necessity.
1t seems that this matter is destln-
ed to become an issue twice during
the present year. AT meeting OF
the Board of Police Commissioners
last night, Commissioner Knight ask
ed why the Sunday closing law is not
being enforced, and suggested "res-
oluti5nt calling upon the police to
perform their duty in this respect.
Mayor Fisher Informed the board
that the police have instructions to
enforce the Sunday closing law, and
enumerated those things that are
considered necessaries on the Sab
bath.
The mayor stated he could see no
reason for a resolution calling on the
police to do their duty when the po-
lice are thoroughly informed on all
the points of the law.
Police Commissioners John T.
Sweeney was last night elected sec
rctary to the police board succeeding
j. Edward Shinn, Oscar r. Phillips,
Mr.. Shinn's successor on the board,
attended his first meeting.
Commissioner Sweeney complained
that automobiles exceed the speed
limit in South Alfred street, and the
of the chief was called to
the fact.
Mayor Fisher told the board that
an organization of colored persons
had planned to give ball on Hallow-
cen night-the night that Alexandria
will become "dry" along with the re-
mainder of the State of Virginia,
and he had informed them that they
would have to provide two special
officers for that occasion at their own
expense.
Chief Goods reported that there
had been 239 prisoners in the police
court since August IS.

What Can be Expected
ON Battlefield This Spring

This may come somewhere in the Ar
tots or in the Flanders region, in an
effort to reach the Channel; in the
Compiegne, scissors or Champagne
districts with Paris as the objective
or both may come together. Or-and
surprise in France would not be
great were this to prove true-the
Germans might seek a new route to
Paris from the eastern rontier. In
any event, It seems little likely that
anv really serious offensive will be
undertaken by either side until the
weather man turns on enough good
weather to make the handling Of ar
tillery easy. The European wal
backbone is composed of big guns and
field pieces and stupenduous numbers
of them are absolutely necessary tC
dynamite an army's way forward. Too
these guns need ammunition in hither
to unheard-of quantities, necessitat
ing the free circulation, back of the
lines. of innumerable automobile
trucks. In short, rainy weather, with
the accompanying saturated ground
bogs and loblollies, is not especially
helpful to an advance.
The present fighting in France
therefore. seems to be only the sharp
preliminary clashes Of armies strug
Cling for the advantage in a double
offensive now seemingly certain,
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1916-02-17

like the letter l.. If the German line
can be broken over an extended
front along the bottom of the J. Tin
Champagne) and along the top of the
L, (around Arras) the forces holding
the corner will have to retire, even
though unattached, lest they be cut
off by a junction of the two drives
beginning in Champagne and Artois.
This is probably the explanation of
the frenzied attacks hurled by the
Germans against the allies in these
two regions They wish to prevent
the French getting a good toe-hold
from which to make the spring. Last
September the French worked several
weeks digging additional trenches
back Of their first line in Champagne
facilitating the move which resulted
in a gain of some three miles along y
fifteen mile front. The Germans are
undoubtedly to harass the allies to
such an extent by daily and nightly
attacks. that such preparatory work
may not proceed without hindrance.
On the other hand. the French are
undoubtedly prepared for big Ger
man offensive. 1t is believed newt
able 1t is said in Paris that German
public opinion at home will demand
action in the western theatre of war
and French plans have beyond any
doubt, been made to meet the attack.

eUnited Press Leased Wire Serv1ce]
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17-Opponents
today continued their successful fill
buster against the Shields water pow
er bill. denounced by Clifford Pinchot
as a "grabbers" measure. The fllli-
buster will be kept up until Senator
Husting Of Wisconsin can complete a
substitute, which is In radical con-
flict with the Shields measure.
It provides for government leasing
of power sites on navigable streams;
with regulation Of rates which the
lesees may charge; the regaining of
the site at the end Of fifty years by
the government, easily and with no ex-
pense for franchise value, the un-
earned increase in the value Of the
site, or other abstract values
Behind this measure, conservation,
lists of both parties are planning to
rally.
Senator Shields gave notice lata
yesterday that he may not support
the administration conservat. IN meas
ures, still pending in the senate, un-
less his bill is successful. He said As
