Hour Not Too Long
To Spend ON Drink,
London Judge Says
BY the Associated Press

LONDON. May 22.-How long
should man spend over a drink?
This is a question which a Galway
court has decided in the case of
six soldiers of the Irish-speaking
battalion of the national army.
The troopers were prosecuted for
remaining too long in a public
house on Sunday afternoon, tip
pling. The police contended that
the half hour the men spent over
their beverage was too long. The
magistrate, however. held that If
a man were socially inclined he
easily could spend an hour over
one drink. Therefore he dismiss
ed the case.

Central Heat Proposed
W, X. Pcet. representing the
Hughes Electric company, suggested
to the commission that inasmuch as
the central heat mains are to be ex-
tended to serve the new Quain &
Ramstad clinic building to be erected
ut the corner of Thaycr and Fifth
streets, it might be to the city's in
tcrests to arrange for connections by
which the city hall and city library
could also be heated in that manner.
He estimated the cost Of installation
at about $500 and said that the cost
Of heating under the new plan would
be approximately the same, as at
present.
Clarence Larson requested the COM
missioners to give consideration to
proposal to install automatic stokers
in the city hall furnace, in the event
the central heating project was not
favored. He said that with an auto
matte stoker in the city hall furnace
the library could be heated from the
same plant and a reduction in fuel
costs would be possible. He also
suggested automatic stokers in the
city auditorium heating plant and
the waterworks plant furnace.
The commissi toner's agreed to take
both proposals under advisement.

Negotiations for settlement of the

hinged chiefly on the outcome of

government for further instructions
The situation was given considera-

and his advisers, with indications
that little or no delay was to DC ex-

turned their attention to renewed
negotiations with the Jugo Slavian
commission.
THE American commission held a
brief session today and decided not
to meet again until Ambassador Bcr-
cnger has received further instruc-
tions from Paris. Meanwhile, Secre-
tary Mellon conferred with repre-
sentative Of the Jugo Slavia mission
which is cndeavoring to reach an
