PREPARING NEW
POLICE RULES
Police Committee Are Getting
Ideas From Other Cities in
Framing New Regulations

The police committee of the board
of aldermen, which was authorized
by t-Large John N. Wes-
ter to draw up new rules and regu-
lations establishing the conduct of
the local police department, is max
ing progress with its work but will
not be able to complete their work
for the next meeting of the alder
men. which will be Monday night.
Alderman John Il. Sofield, chair
man of the police committee. an
nounced this morning that the COM
mittee expected to have its work
completed by the first meeting in
February. The other members of
the police committee, working with
the chairman. are Albert G. Waters
and Benjamin A. Riedy. Alderman
at-Large Wester and City Attorney
Leo Goidberger are also rendering
assistance.
Owing to the contradictory clauses
included in the present rules and the
many "loop-holes" afforded, It has
been found necessary to consult the
police rules used in other cities and
take from them the parts whichsap-
pealed to the committee.
The rules of the New York, Jersey
City. Hoboken, Newark, Elizabeth
and other police forces have been
consulted by the aldermen in their
efforts to draw up set of regula-
tieps which will not only specify the
duties of the members of the police
force, established means of trying
them for offenses and punish them,
either by dismissal or trial, but will
clearly set forth the powers granted
he mayor and aldermen in all po-
ice matters.
1t was originally thought that
only a revision of the present rules
and regulations would be necessary
out. owing to the condition of those
now In existence. it has been found
necessary 10 draw practically a new
:ode of laws.

tuberculosis Contracted
from Infected Milck Cow

It seems the danger of contract
ing tuberculosis from the use of
milk from diseased COWS has not
been exaggerated.
A case has come to light from
Edgar county, illinois. A farmer
had his herd tested, and one COW
was pronounced afflicted. Instead
of destroying her, the farmer de-
clared the test not dependable, and
sold her to his hired man for
wages.
OF seven children In the hired
mans family, five have contracted
pronounced cases of tuberculosis.
The other two did not drink of the
milk. A pig and cat also con-
tracted the disease.
A warrant has been issued fol
the former owner of the COW, and
it is stated that if one of the chill
dren die, he will be subject to a
charge of manslaughter.

farmers throughout the county are
planning on taking the day off and
attending the Second Annual
County Farm Bureau picnic. All
arrangements have been made for

thing entirely out of the ordinary
as the different townships are each
trying to outdo the other in pro-
ducing floats for the big event.
A good program will be rendered
in the park in the afternoon, and
races and ball games will add to
the afternoons entertainment.
In the evening, moving pictures

the American Legion hall.
Come and help swell the crowd.

Heavy Penalty for Viola
ting Headlight Law

Beginning September lst, dras-
tic punishment for violation of
loWa's new automobile headlight
law which went into force April 15,
lis promised by w M. McCollovay,
superintendent of the state motor
vehicle department..
Until now no attempt has been
made to enforce the law, for the
reason that the state highway COM
mission to which is delegated the
task of testing all headlight lenses,
has not been equipped to perform
this function.
Penalty for the first offense is by
fine of not less than SIS, nor
more than S25 Second offense
will entit!e the bright demon to a
similar punishment.
But look out that you are not
apprehended a third time for the
same cause. Your license to drive
an automobile will be revoked for
period of not less than one year
The new law very clearly provides
this penalty.
Here are some of the things
your headlight and spotlights
must not do: In the first place
they must not throw light higher
than forty-two inches from the
ground at distance of twenty
FIVE feet from the headlights
According to the design of the
lenses used, electric bulbs giving
between fifteen and thirty candle
power,must be used. The size for
each type Of lens will be deter
mined by the highway commission.
Superintendent McCollovay says
positively each automobile must
be equipped with two lights IN
front and a red light in the rear.
This tail lamp must illuminate the
state license plate.
Spotlights must be adjusted so
they throw all their light on the
right side of the center of the road,
and they may not be set to throw
a brilliant light directly in the
faces of drivers Of oncoming cars,
at penalty of the driver being pros
ecuted for misdemeanor.
The state highway commission
already has finished many OF its
tests of standard types and makes
of lenses. Motorists desirous ol
obtaining a strictly legal lens may
obtain a list Of approved lense:

COURT DECLARES
FARMER SANE
Elk Horn Man Allowed to
Return Home from ;.
Sanitarium

Judge Rockafellow, in district
court, late Saturday afternoon, rul-
ed that Nels B. Christensen, veal
thy Audubon county farmer, was
at this time person of sound mind
and entitled to his personal liberty.
In accordance with this ruling
Mr.. Christensen is released from
his commitment to Woodland re-
treat, private sanitorium in Des
Moines. He returned to his home
near Elk Horn Saturday'evening.
The court also appointed trust
agreement, signed by Mr.. Chris
tensen and S. G.. Petersen.
By the terms of this agreement S.
G. Petersen, of Elk Horn, president
of the Atlantic Northern railroad,
is named as trustee to look after
and attend to the affairs of Nels B.
Christensen. According to the evil
dence introduced in the case the
estate is worth about 100000 and
consists in the main of one farm on
which he and his son, John NJ, re-
side. The remainder is in negoti-
able securities.
On August IL, Christensen was
taken before the board of commits
sioners on insanity of Audubon
county and adjudged insane and
unable to take care of himself and
his estate. He was then taken to
Woodland retreat in Des Moines,
where he has been kept for the
past two weeks.
| After being taken to the sanitor-
ium Christensen, thru his attorney
here, applied to Judge Rockafellow
for a writ Of habeas corpus, order
! ing DR.. Gershom H. Hill to bring
| him to Atlantic for hearing on
the writ. He was produced in court
here Friday.
A number of Christensen's old
friends and neighbors were put on
the stand to testify as to his sanity
and all of them stated that in their
opinion he was sane and able to
take care of himself. Christensen
lis now rs years old and is consid-
cred by his friends as being in as
good condition physically and men-
tally as any person Of that age.
Mr.. Christensen settled in Audu-
bon county about fifty years ago,
coming there from Casey, Iowa
where he had been employed on
the railroad for several years. At
the time of coming to Audubon
county the only property he owned
was the household goods. Since
that time he has increased his
wealth until now he is considered
one Of Audubon county's wealth.
