duced by~~ causes beyond it's control. They are therefore discharged in these two cases.
 As to the general defense of tho company that they had adequate roll ing stock to stage all the schedules re- quired by the ordinance, and that it was practically solely question of manpower. and that since the adop- ton of the ordinance they had placed advertisements in various country newspapers in the endeavor to filT sup their depleted force, and that they made no mention of the salary paid in these advertisements. the court does not feel that it has been sufficiently shown from all the evidence and the existing situation that the defendant company has exhausted all reasonable means to remedy this condition. To place this construction upon this phase of the defense would, so far as the defendant is concerned, destroy their utility. and justify, rather than pre- vent the inconvenience to the public.
 In conclusion, the court, therefore, finds the defendant company guilty of a violation of the ordinance in the fol- lowing cases: Ncs. 641S-P. 6419-P, 6420-P. 6421-P, 6422-P, 6423-P, 6424-P, 6427-P 642S-P and 6431-P, and in pun ishment thereof assesses a fine of one hundred dollars ($100.00l in each case, as prescribed by the ordinance
 In cases Nos. 6425-P, 6426-P, 6429-P and 6430-P the court finds the defend ant not guilty for the reasons set forth above.

sons, reported in 15 So., page COP, Justice Haralson says as follows:
 The police power of a state is a most important power, essential to it's very existence. and has been declared by the supreme judicial interpreter of the federal constitution to embrace the protection of her citizens, the maintenance of good order, and the preservation of good mor- als; and the legislature cannot by any contract, d;vest itself of the power to provide for these objects.
 AS before stated, the courts will not interfere unless it is clearly shown that the ordinance, either upon the face Of its provisions, or by reason of it's opera tion in the circumstances under which it is to take effect, is unreasonable or op- presSive.
 Passing on an ordinance enacted by Jersey City, requiring a traction com pany to maintain a certain headway, and avoid undue congestion, In their crrs serving the Pennsylvania and Erie Railroad. stations, the supreme court or New Jersey said as follows:
 No doubt, under any schedule or sys- tenn of running the cars, interruptions may occasionally be caused by eXtraordi- nary blockades in the street car or by other circumstances over which the tEac- ton company has no control. The ordi- nance. however. should be given a reason able interpretation, and it is not to be supposed that the company would be held liable for the results that might occa- sionally be produced by causes beyond It's control

Street Railway Guilty in 10 of IA Counts, Says
 Recorder Martin s Decision
tContinued from Page Five)

(Continued from Page Five) involve some limitations on the liberty or burden upon the property of individuals. Sanitary regulations are common, includ- ing the abolition of slaughter houses and other noxious places, and restrictions up- on burial. Protection against fire and danger from explosives, the use of high ways and speed of vehicles, the regu- lation of occupations, buildings, etc, are among the many instances where municipal action is upheld. An ordinance which on it's face shows that such an end was in contemplation will ordinarily be presumed to be valid. Not only will the burden of proof be upon one who attacks it's validity, but the discretion of the council will not be interferred with upon light grounds, or where the regulation can fairly be said to tend towards a better and safe condition"
 Referring to the contention of the de- fendant that it would require too large an outlay of money to comply with the ordinance and equip their cars with air brakes, he said as follows:
 we do not feel called upon to say much about the claim that this ordinance should be held invalid upon the ground  that it takes property without due process of law. It is too well settled that the state or city may enforce regulations clearly looking to the safety of the public and reasonably adapted to such end to make it necessary. All property is held subject to the exercise of the police power.
 "All contracts and all rights. it is de- clared, are subject to this (police) power,
 rt,; feet them be established by the state but all such regulations must be sub- ject to change from time to time, as the general well-being of the community may require, or >as the circumstances may change, or as experience may dem onstrate the necessity.
 Tt is well settled that acts of incor- poration of railroad companies are subor- dinate to the general police regulation of the state.'
