ATTORNEY GENERAL BACKS
DOWN

Following the receipt of the instruc-
tions from the attorney generals Of
flee as regards the enforcement of the
blue laws, local business men were
notified to not open their places of
business on Sunday. Information was
filed against eight parties in Manches-
ter, for violating the law. These were
hauled before Justices A. e. Peterson
and M. E. Blair on Monday and fined.
Realizing perhaps the force of pub
lie opinion, Attorney General Havner
has backed down long way on the
Sunday "blue law" question. In a
letter to county attorneys yesterday
he construes the law far more liberal
ly than his previous attitude on the
question reflected.
He now says that amateur baseball,
golf, tennis, railroads, garages, pub
lie utility service corporations of all
kinds, delivery of milk, operation of
bakeries, newspapers and all labor of
necessity may be permitted.
Theater performances, profession
al sports and labor and trade tending
to commercialize the Sabbath are to
be prohibited. Na.

HIGHWAY MEETING.

The annual meeting of the Manches-
ter-West Union Pike was held in the
K. p. hall on Monday afternoon, at
which time officers for the year
were elected. The question of determ-
lining the location of the route between
Manchester and Monticello came up
for consideration. It was evident from
the line-up of visiting good roads men
that there would be a lively scrap on
before that question would be finally
settled.
At the meeting last year the road
was established as, far, south as, Ryan,
and at that time there was little in
terest manifested by the road boosters
of the southeastern part of the coun-
ty. Considerable interest has been
worked up among the citizens of Delhi
and Hopkinton, and efforts will be
made to have the route include these
two places and also Delaware. The
Ryan boosters contend that the pike
should follow the county road as far
as Ryan, and then go by way of Castle
Grove to Monticello, while the delega-
ton from the other section of the
county was just a determined to have
the route pass through their section
of the county. The question of locat-
ing the pike definitely was finally left
in the hands of a committee of three:
H. M. Carpenter, Monticello; d. B.
Allen, West Union, and c. W. Keagy,
Manchester. This committee is en-
powered ITO make thorough can
vas of the situation and upon their
decision depends the location of the
pike between Manchester and Month
cello. Three routes were proposed
for this committee to investigate, one
by way Of Delaware, Delhi, Hopkin-
ton, Sand Spring to Monticello; a
second by way of Ryan, Hopkinton,
Sand Spring and Monticello, and a
third by way of Ryan and Castle
Grove to Monticello. The officers
elected for the ensuing year are:
President, Geo. H. Barr, Manchester;
Vice-President, D. B. Allen, Arling-
ton; Treasurer, H. M. Carpenter,
Monticello; Secretary, Walter Bell,
West Union.
Directors chosen from the towns
through which the pike now passes
or may pass after definitely located,
are as follows:
