BOND DEFAULTER TO FACE COURT ON
 ORIGINAL CHARGES
"Get Your Man" Is Order IS- sued Monday To Po-
 lice Officers

Rearrest of all bond defaulters on the original warrants and charges was ordered Monday morning by Com missioner w. B. Cloe of the depart ment of public safety. All who are caught will be hustled immediately to jail where they will be held await ing trial.
 The municipality has a file con- taining between 300 and 400 defaulted bonds, averaging about $50 each, but also containing many for s1,00O or more. Against them the city has not been able to collect cent. They represent. a sum in the neighborhood of $20.000. Efforts have been made to have the bonds made good, but without fail. Now the original de- fendants will be brought back to court to explain just why the money has not been paid.
 Special men have been designated and will Joe given a list of the delin- quents, both original prisoners and signers. In some cas perhaps many, additional charges of attempts to defraud will be brought.
 It was announced in the police de- partment early in the morning that the lists have been compiled, much preliminary work done, and drastic action ordered. Officers said they did not believe many of the people wanted will attempt to get out of town, for in most cases the charges were not of serious nature and the fines im- posed were not such that even a crook would consider it good business to skip out of town in preference to pay ing.
 There will be no further extension of courtesies in the cases, however, for the officials resent the attitude of those who seem to have attempted to put something over on them" and will handle each case without further consideration.
 Ndt few of the charges are for violations of the traffic laws, sub ject that is dear to the heart of the municipal workers at present. The gist of the order issueo Monday morn ing was: Get your man."

FULL CALENDAR FACES CITY FOR
 TUESDAY MEETING
So Many Important Subjects Pending That All May
 Require More Time

Blue law discussion, naming park board, deciding on licensing the new taxicab company composed of for mer jitney men, licensing suburban bus lines and the usual unexpected new business, are all looked for as high lights in the meeting. of the city commission Tuesday morning.
 Usually, the city's history shows, when there. is whole bunch of things pending that has the public on edge, the meetings quietly pass in dry and colorless fashion, the big things going over until the atmos- phere cools off bit, so there was none who would say in the city hall Monday that any one of the things mentioned would be passed or report ed on Tuesday but they are on the calendar"
 At tho last meeting the applica- tions for permits to operate busses and the the cars of the new taxicab company were referred to Commis- sioner Cloe for report, it being un- derstood for the next meeting. The same action was taken In regard to applications to run bus lines out from the city, and some within the city,
 The matter of the blue laws has the whole city talking. Delegations have already called on the city in the interest of repeating slch laws or modifying them, but the proponents of the quiet Sunday are yet to be heard from, and they are looked for Tuesday, if the commission takes up the subject at the meeting.
 Monday afternoon the city resumed executive conferences that had been held off and on nearly all day, the commissioners being closeted in the presidents office long after the rest of the official family, or most of them, had gone home. The budget was said to be the subject of dis cussion, but it had been said earlier in the day the memb bership of the park board had again come up. Whether or not an announcement will be made at the meeting was not known, save to the commissioners, Monday evening.
