CITY TO FRAME
NEW TRAFFIC LAWS
Wide Discussions of Legality of Re
Ordinance Clarifying Point

A full digest of the state and mu-
nicipal laws concerning automobile
traffic by City Attorney d. c. Dow
featured the meeting of the chamber
Of comm cree Tuesday. The discus
sion resulted from the complaint of
several business men at the last
meeting that automobile owners
were being arrested for offences not
enumerated in either the state or
city laws, and that contention. to a
large extent, was borne out by the
digest of the laws presented by the
city attorney The principal point at
issue was whether or not an automo-
bile owner violates law when he
leaves his machine standing on
lighted street after dark without his
lights burning, it being charged that
several citizens and farmers had
been arrested and fined on this
charge by city officials.
City Attorney Dow discussed the
state law concerning lights on motor
vehicles after dark and relating to
requirements of the law.
while the law is very specific as
to the number of lights required and
their penetrating power, and while
the statute does not specify that the
cars must be in motion without
lights to constitute an infraction of
the law the application of the
reasonable construction rule, to be
applied when there is doubt as to
the real intent of the law, certainly
would not hold an owner liable to
arrest because of violation of this
provision when his machine was
standing in his garage. Neither,
believe, did the law makers intend
to make it an offence to leave a
machine standing on well lighted
street without lights burning"
AS a result of the discussion arts
ing from the arrests here Of autOmo-
bile owners who left their machines
on the principal business streets
without lights, and TO clarity the
situation so far as the indefinite
meaning Of the state law is con
cerned, City Attorney Dow has pre-
pared a new city traffic ordinance for
consideration by the council While
the proposed city law will not con
flict with the provisions of the state
law in any manner and will not touch
on the matter Of speed limits, regu-
lated entirely by the state laws, it
will hold as legal tho absence OF
lights on machines left standing
within a certain distance OF a light
ed street lamp.
/ The new ordinance passed its first
reading before the city council Tues
day night and was placed in the
hands of the streets and highways
committees for additions and alter
atoms. The counclmanic commit
tee will confer with the streets and
highways committee of the chamber
of comm cree with a view TO present
ing an ordinance at the second read
ing that will meet with favor at the
hands of both city organizations and
the people.

PROSECUTOR HINTS.
CITY GETS BUSY
City Dumping Ground Will BE Made
Sanitary as Result of Warning
by Prosecutor Clegg

After Prosecuting Attorney Clegg
had appeared before the city council
Tuesday night TO sound a warning
that unless the city dumping ground
is put in more sanitary condition
Immediately the state would be
forced to take a hand in the affair,
provements in the dumping ground.
All of the present refuse will be
buried and trenches excavated to re-
ceive future refuse. A bridge will
be constructed leading to the
grounds. Two days each week dur
ing the summer months will be desig-
mated as dumping days, and on
these days the city will have man
in charge of the grounds to direct
the dumping of refuse One day
each week will be set aside for dump
ing during the winter.
The dumping ground question has
been a bone of contention in the city
council for several years, with resi-
dents in the locality where the
grounds are located protesting Wig
orously against the alleged unsani-
tary condition of the place and cit
liens claiming that it is an eyesore
for the community. On numerous
occasions remedies for the evil have
been proposed by the council, but in
each case the plans have been
thWarted.

FARMERS WONDER
WHERE SCREENINGS GO
IL Mill Men Retain Refuse From
Graded Wheat They Ask To lie
Reimbursed

What becomes of the screenings
from wheat on which Inland Empire
farmers have this year been locked
from one to six per cent, was a much
discussed question at the meeting OF
Whitman County Pomona Grange,
No. ,, held in Pullman Friday after
noon, Complaint was made at the
session that while all wheat is in
spected by the government inspector
on federal grades, the farmers so far
have received no return from the
screenings, for which full dockage
has been made at the mills. If these
screenings are kept by the mills the
farmers maintain that they should
either be reimbursed to the extent of
the value of the screenings for chick
en- feed or the dockage reduced in
proportion to the value of the screen
ngs
Attention was called to the fact
That because of the almost entire alb
sence of smut this year the screen
| ngs should be valuable and that the
| farmer should not be called upon to
! give the broken kernels and other
| screenings resulting from grading to
the mills or whoever gets them with
out due compensation.
Some Of the farmers who partici-
| pated in the discussion advocated the
cleaning Of all wheat before it is
| shipped, thus insuring No. | grade
| and leaving the farmer in possession
of the now valuable screenings. OBJ
! lection was raised to this method as
Wholesale undertaking on the
ground that the farmers of any small
community are not in position to
market the screenings to good adj
vantage, the DIRECTORS advocating q
plan which includes the sale of the
screenings at the terminals and the
reimbursement of the farmers who
were forced to pay freight on the
low grade product.
A committee was named by the
convention to take the matter mp
with Director Asher Hobson of the
state office of farm markets with
view to clearing the situation.
The meeting was attended by State
Lecturer l.. l.. Snow, who outlined
the work that is being done by the
Grange in all parts of the state. X.
p. Coglon, state leader Of county ag-
ricultural agents, also addressed the
plishments of the county agents. The
Pomona reiterated It's endorsement
of the county agricultural agent
movement, the members favoring the
employment of an agent in every
county of the state.
The cooperative work of the
Grange was discussed by w. J. Lang
don of Sumner, in charge of that
phase of the Grange work in the
state.
Pomona officers were elected as
follows:
Master-James Emert, College
Grange, Pullman.
Overseer-M. Farley, Evansville.
Steward II. Oderlin. Pa

Assistant steward W. C. Kamer-
rer, Evansville.

In France, Oct. 10, 1917
Dear Mother:
Since writing to you last | have
gone through an experience that
makes me appreciate why these
French are fighting so valiantly.
Last Sunday about 800 refugees
were brought in to these barracks
prior to their distribution among
the different homes in this town.
They were from Northern France,
principally around the district of
Lille. The Germans are hard
pressed to find sufficient quantities
of food to feed their own army, so
that the civilian population Of the
invaded districts become burden
to them. Consistent with German
cruelty these people are either left
to starve or else are returned to the
French. A humanitarian effort
does not induce the Germans to re-
turn them but the supposed fact
that they will prove an additional
burden for France to feed. The
Huns (for that is suitable name
for the Germans, and one that they
are called today throughout Eu-
rope). see to it that no man or wo-
man is returned who can possibly
be of any military value. Only
children under sixteen, both boys
and girls, and men and women over
forty-fve are allowed to pass
through. The men retained are
used for military purposes, such as
building new trenches or construct
ing roads and railroads. There is
no pity shown to them and many
Belgian or Frenchman has drop
ped dead from exhaustion. The Wo-
men are used for purposes almost
unmentionable Each girl is as
signed to two German soldiers. She
has to wash his clothes and do any
thing for them that they might
wish.
If the girl is pretty or attractive
she is given to an officer. After the
English have captured new trench
systems they have found these girls
in the huts of the German officers
it is a system of slavery more hor-
rible than anything the world has
ever witnessed.
These refugees that came here ar
rived just before dark. The natura,
result was confusion. To see those
old men and women with their only
possessions in the world being made
to suffer needlessly was too much
