CURTIS REVIEWS
POLICE STRIKE
Explains Law Did Not Permit Calling
Out Militia Until Riots Had
Started.

Boston. Dec "a. Circumstances lead
ing up to the strike Of policemen here
on Sept. and the events which tol-
lowed were discussed publicly by Po-
lice Commissioner Edwin Z, Curtis for
the first time in his annual report TO
the governor, made public yesterday
He refused to accept q proposed plan
Of averting the strike, he said, because
It involved "a reversion to the state OF
divided responsibility, vacillating pol
lev and dilatory action" which caused
reorganization of the department some
wears ago. The commissioner explained
the absence of troops on the streets the
night the policemen struck, when there
were disorders, as due to shortcomings
of the law prov ding for military pro
| lection and to the fact that he had been
given no notice that the men intended
to strike.

opening in which TO embark in the

TO have made a good choice in locating

standpoint because, as we have had oc-

filled with advertising matter at all

Such welcome as Leelede, Mo, gave
to its famous townsman, General John
j. Pershing, must have stirred the
cookies of the warriors heart as few
receptions have stirred them since his
return from the expedition into Eu-

much greater must have been the ebul-
lent enthusiasm Of the peofle of La,
clede as they extended shouting, Wild
~ exultant welcome to their own hero,
the man who led the vast American
army into glorious victory. Possession
is called II points in the law, and the

In trimming the Christmas tree for
the celebrations tonight and to-mor-
row be careful not to place lighted
candles on the tree or in close proxim
ity to infammable material. The slight
swaying of the branches by currents of
air or the contact with persons moving
about would be calculated to upset the
lights and start serious fire, which
would turn the Christmas rejoicing into
poignant sorrow No chances ought to
be taken in exercising precautions
against fire.

Where is the chiyalry Of long ago,
when knights fought to death for
their ladies fair? Where is the chiv-
airy of D,Artagnan, the famous mus
kateer and gallant? Though sIum-
bering all these years it has been
awakened and will be shown at the
Star theater next Saturday when
Douglas Fairbanks latest produc-
tion, "A Modern Muskateer." re-
leased by Aircraft is presented.
As a modern D'Artagnan. Fair
banks is an ideal type, dashing, ath-
letic and fearless. The flashing
sword of the romantic period is re-
placed by the powerful left jab and
the mighty right hook, and in the
more sensational encounters with the
trusty six-shooter, The spirit Is
there, however, and Fairbanks bat
tles for his lady love in manner to
arouse the envy Of the famed Dumas
hero.
No whinnying charger carries his
doughty rider to the fray, but the
modern flivver comes in timely need,
and proves much more seryIceabIe In
annihilating distances.
Fairbanks plays the part OF Ned
Thacker. OF Kansas, who, through
prenatal influence inherited the spirit
Of D'Artagnan. Before he was born
his mother rellgiously read Dumas,
hoping that the stork would deliver
the reincarnation Of D'Artagnan, q
boy who might be chiyalrous as her
idol.
Much comedy arises as the gallan-
try OF the youth is misunderstood. ..

COUNCIL INSISTS THAT
SIDEWALKS Be PUT N
City Fathers Held Forth Tuesday
Eyening-Agreement on Water
Deal Virtually Reached
Treas. Briggs Resigns.

City property owners must put in
sidewalks along their property where
they have been ordered to do so by
the city, and If they refuse then the
city will go ahead, put in the walks
and charge the bill against the prop
erty,
This was the substance of the ac-
tion taken by Mayor Vaughan and the
city councilmen in their regular
meeting last Tuesday evening. Several
property owners have been notified
to put in walks along their property.
and having thus far failed to comply
with the order, chairman of streets
and public property, Beymer, has
been instructed by the mayor to go
ahead with the work. The walks, as
per city ordinance, must be of con-
crete structure.
H. V. Gates, president of the Hepp-
ner Light & Water Company. was
present at the meeting and went over
the contract of sale under the pro-
posal of the city to take over the
water works. An agreement virtu-
ally has been reached, only a few
minor details now remaining for set
tlement. The sale Of the plant is
contingent upon the sale of bonds.
which the city expects to issue in the
near future.
L. W. Briggs, who has served the
city for several years in the capacity
of treasurer, handed in his resigna-
tion, same to take effect on the 30th
Of September. lnasmuch as Mr..
Briggs has given long and faithful
and very efficient service, the city
officials we're averse to accept his res
ignation. The sentiment among them
was that Mr.. Briggs should receive an
increased remuneration. Mr.. Briggs
set forth in his resignation that stress
Of other business and insufficient pay
were the reasons for giving up the
position. The matter was passed up
to the mid-monthly meeting.
Three ordinances passed at the
Tuesday evening session. Two OF
these pertain to treatment of public
property and the other relates to
building construction in the fire zone.
The second reading on the bond issue
ordinance was read for the second
time and will come up for final pas
sage at the next meeting.

SAYS GRAIN DEALERS
MUST HAVE LICENSES

julius H. Barnes, United States
Wheat Director, announced today
rigid enforcement of license require
ments by notices mailed to dealers
throughout the country who are re-
quired to obtain a Wheat Director
license by the Act of Congress, ap-
proved March 4, 1919, and proclama-
tion OF the President issued June 20,
1919.
Not only is it a criminal offense to
engage in business requiring a IL
cense without such license, but also
one of the important conditions upon
which licensees hold their licenses is
that they will not engage in business
with anyone required to obtain a
Wheat Director license who has not
obtained such license. Furthermore
all licensees are required to place the
words United States Wheat Director
License No" followed by the number
of their license upon every contract,
order. acceptance of order, invoice,
price list and quotation issued or
signed by them relating to wheat or
wheat products.
Consequently licensees can readily
ascertain whether those with whom
they are dealing have obtained the
requisite license. If they engage in
business in licensed commodities
with anyone who is required to OBJ
tain license and has not done so,
such licensees endanger their own
license and may forfeit their right to
engage in licensed business. In this
way members Of the various trades
affected become aids of the Wheat
| Director in seeing that dealers who
are required to obtain license make
their application. In addition all
violators OF the license requirements
coming to the attention OF the Wheat
Director will be reported to the De-
partment of Justice.
Those who are required by the act
| Of Congress and proclamation of the
President mentioed above to secure
licenses, consist of all persons, firms,
corporations and associations en-
gagged in or carrying on the business
of storing or distributing wheat or
manufacturing, storing or dstribut-
ing wheat -four, and all persons, firms
corporations and associations who
manufacture, either wholly or partly
from wheat -four. bread or other ba-
kerry products for sale, excepting
however,
Bakers whose consumption of -four
in the manufacture of products Is, in
the aggregate, less than fifty barrels
per month.
Retailers and farmers,
Common carriers.
