NEW TRAFFIC
 ORDINANCE |S
 READY FUR USE
$25 Fine, Ten Days in Jail, Minimum Penalty For First
 Speeding 0ffenSe; Ordinance Is Ready Before City Council

A yoluminous new tracic ordinance, designed to meet the peculiar condi- tions of Bisbee and the Warren dis trict, was read at the city council last night and is ready for adoption and enforcement. The measure was prepared by City Attorney Sam Kyle, and includes all the best features or the traffic ordinances in such cities as San Diego, Los Angeles and Chi cago, where traffic problems have been made careful study.
 The new ordinance provides drastic penalties, including jail sentences for habitual speeders and the city ana county judges in both Bisbee and Lowell have pledged themselves to its strict enforcement
 In line with the present crusade of the police department against au- toists who find the 15 miles an hour speed limit too slow for them, the new city law raised the minimum fine for the first offense to $25, sets $50 for the second and $100 for the third. Jail sentences of minimums from ten days to 50 days are also provided to be inflicted together with the fines, if the court sees fit.
 The new speed limits provided are six miles at street intersections in the congested district and 20 miles outside this district.
 The penalty for driving an automo- bile while intoxicated is fixed at minimum of $10 and 30 days for the first offense; $25 and 10 days for the second offense and anywhere from 30 to 90 days for the third offense with out the alternative of fine.
 The ordinance provides minimum penalties of a $10 fine, five days jail sentence or both for the following kinds of traffic violations:
 Stopping a vehicle with the left side toward the curb; stopping fur ther than one foot from a curb; failure to blow horn at street inter section; standing or hitching within ten feet of either side line of any street that crosses, intersects or terminates in that street; standing within 10 feet of fire hydrant.
 Standing vehicles in the congested district longer than 10 minutes; de- facing a number plate; driving with out lights, 30 minutes before sunrise or an hour after sunset; hauling gravel without a permit; throwing anything in street that is liable to puncture an auto tire; driving any machine without the consent of the owner; driving on new pavement; driving with muffler or cut-out open; leaving an auto with engine running; driving through or obstructing a funeral procession; carrying banner on vehicle without the consent of the council.

LEAGUE IF NATIONS BINDS U.S.

President TeSfyng At Public Hearing Before the Senate Committee, Says Congress Still Has Power to Say When U S. Shall Take Up Arms; Reveals That Allies Have JapanS
 Statement inWrting That She Will Give Back Shantung

carried out and told the senators il was the best that could be got out oi the negotiations, Japan having given notice she would withdraw from the conference if her demands were re fused" The American delegates. he said, had tried to keep the nation free from obligations in European affairs so far as it was honoraply possible to do so.
 Keep U. s. Boys on Rhine is Years. But he asserted that 1t might be necessary to keep some American troops in the Rhine district under the treaty for the next 15 years.
 He declared the nation would be it's own sole judge whether it's obliga- tions had been fulfilled under the dis puted withdrawal clause of the league covenant; that purely domestic ques- tions were safe from the leagues in- reference; and that the Monroe doc Urine was clearly preserved.
 The league, the president alleged, was built on the plan of General Shuts of southern Africa. Mir. Will son revealed that he had suggested the United States to take no part of the German reparation, but had asked that the conference reserve disposi- ton of the German Pacific island at Yap, on suggestion that it was need ed for an American naval station.
 Declines Some Questions.
 Some of the senator's questions the president declined to answer, on the ground of international policy. How the American delegates voted on Japan's proposal for a racial equality clause in the league coven- ant, he said he could not disclose 'In the interest of international policy" and for the same reason he said he could not go into the negotia- tions over the French frontier or give the committee a copy of the re- cord of Japan's Shantung promise.
 Early action on the treaty was urged in a statement by the president at the outset of the conference. This was necessary, he held so that al peace basis might be reached. The other treaties under negotiations now at Versailles were being delayed; he said, until the world learned what would happen to the treaty with Ger many. He said he saw no reasonable objection to the senate reservations, but thought it unwise to incorporate them in the ratification itself. In replying to a long series of questions by Senator Brandegee, Republican, the president was led into an exhaus- tive discussion of the co-mingling of

three different handlings, each of which means a profit of at least IS per cent. with 10 per cent loss in handling.
 In establishing municipal market. Major Joralemon said a board should establish maximum prices, and there should be lively bargaining between producer and consumer on prices be- low this point. The maximum, he said. should be considerably less than the prices charged by the stores He be- lieved that municipal market could supply the needs of the community in vegetables and fruits for at least six months of the year.
 Major Joralemon also suggested that in order to solve the meat ques- tion. small refrigerating plant could be constructed at the city market, where farmers who kill their own stock could place the meat for preser- vation until it's sale % the consumer He said the farmers were getting or 2 cents pound for their meat, which with the cost of handling in this way would bring 1t up to about IA ectns, instead of the 3S to 40 cents the con- sumer must pay under the present system.
 A screened building or sheds should be provided he said, and site chosen easv of access SO that the farmers could back up their carts or wagons and the shoppers pass to the rear. He estimated the cost of a small refrigert- ing plant at about $2000.
 If suitable site could not be oh tained in hisbee and if the city coun- cil here did not approve the plan. the major said the legion was prepared to place the market in Lowell and he was confident they would have no trouble in getting the necessary financial backing
 Dr. Bledsoe said he was heartily in

CITY COUNCIL FAVORSMUN|C|PAL
 MARKET; SUITABLE SITE PROBLEM.

At last nights meeting the city council went on record in favor of a municipal market as one means of foil ing old man John J. Cost of Living. A committee was appointed to cooperate with the food committee from the To- cal post of the Legion of Honor and steps will be taken at once to secure a suitable site for the market.
 Location seems to be the chief stumbling block to the plan, as there are very few vacant pieces of property in Bisbee that could accommodate the wagons and automobiles of twenty or thirty produce dealers and the cars of purchasers. If suitable location can not be found in Bisbee, it Is probable that a site will be chosen in Lowell.
 Maj. Ira B. Joralemon, chairman of the American Legion's food commit tee, and several members or the com mittee were present ana put the prop osition before the council. Mayor Erickson and the aldermen were a unit in indorsing the plan, if the obvious diff ficulty of obtaining a suitable site and the question of price regulation can be solved. Mayor Erickson named as the council committee to confer with the Legion's committee Aldermen N. c. Bledsoe, I. A. Rosok and Hicks.
 In presenting the proposition Major Joralemon said investigation had shown that in the country contiguous to Bisbee far more produce, such as green vegetables. eggs. fruits and meat is produced than the district can con sume, but that owing to the primitive methods of distribution the costs have reached unreasonably high figures.
 In Europe. Major Joralemon pointed out. the middleman has been practi- cally eliminated, and sn a number of the cities in this country the municipal market has been found an effective so- lution for the high cost of the food question. At present, he said, produce is disposed of to the consumer after

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-President Wilson. interpreting the league of nations covenant today for the senate foreign relations committee, declared it imposed no legal obligation for the pse of American military force in pro- tecting the territory or independence of any other nation.
 But he added that the covenant might involve in certain communities an absolutely compelling moral ob- ligation," which might be even strong CT than legal promise.
 Call League Rope of Sand"
 Pressed for more exact definition by committee members, who insisted that the whole arrangement was "a rope of sand he asserted that on the contrary he considered it as placing the nations in ian attitude of com radeship and protection" which would compel respect for the principles of justice and liberty.
 Meeting the committee in a round table discussion in the east room of the White House, in contradiction to precedents of more than a century, and with the whole nation listening through the medium of a relay of pub lie stenographers, the president went into many of the details of the peace negotiations and touched on all the hotly debated questions which have divided the senate in it's consideration of the peace treaty.
 Article ten of the covenant. guar anteeing the integrity of league mem bers against aggression, he declared would leave to each nation complete freedom of choice as to the applica- tion of force" Even if the American representative of the council Joined in a unanimous recommendation of mili- tary action the final decision for peace or war so fas as it concerned the United States must rest with congress, he said.
 Sees Moral Coercion
 Whatever advice the council gave under its authority to take such action as is deemed appropriate" must also be deemed appropriate by the United States to be binding on this govern ment, he argued, though in the back ground would be such a potential moral force that he doubted if the nation would often decline to act.
 The president revealed that Japan's promise to return Shantung province to China was reduced to written form in the minutes of the peace con ference. He asserted he had every confidence that the promise would bel

PURSUE BANDITS IN STORM.

men favor the proposed schedule and a general strike of all main tenance of way employees will be called if their demands are not met.
 The increase demanded would mean an annual additional ex- pense to the railroads of nearly $t9o,oo 900. Twenty-Five per cent of the men engaged in malnte- nance of way work, according to union officials, receive less than 2.75 a day. The $1 day increase does not apply in full to the high CT paid employees, the chief pur pose being to make the low rated man the principal beneficiary.
 The men also will demand a standardization of the rates of pay, 1t was announced.

PARIS. CBy Mail l)-F'rance has
restored over 1850 miles OF railroads
In the devastated districts since the
signing of the armistice. This mileage
is In addition to the 1000 miles which
had been professionally repaired before
the actual end OF the fighting. Less
than 200 miles Of destroyed roadbed
remain unserviceable.
OF the destroyed railways between
Paris and Belgium on the Northern
Railway nearly 9S per cent of the
portions out of service last Novem-
ber have been restored. on the East
ern Railway the restoration has been
less complete. but even on this line
which suffered heavily on the Cham
pagne and Verdun fronts, over so
percent of the lines are again beinh
used.
Much OF the restoration work has
had TO be of a temporary nature be-
cause OF the shortage OF materials.
The hardest work was encountered in
the region about Verdun and along
the valley of the Meuse where numer-
Gus tunnels and bridges were destroy
ed. Nearly one half of the restored
mileage has been on double track
lines.
The rebuilding of the network of
Canaus is progressing almost as rap
idly as the railway work. The total
