COSTLY TRIALS
END SOUGHT
BY FORD

Excessive expenditures by the
District on Police Trial Board
cases may in the future be
averted by submission Of the
facts in all cases of more ser1-
GUS nature to the Corporation
Counseps office for approval be-
fore actual trial is started, If
a proposal made today by Attor
ney Charles E. Ford is accepted.
At the conclusion of the trial
of his client Policeman Weltord
E. Winfield on ticket fixing"
charges yesterday, Attorney Ford
asked that the record of the case
bear his reference to the money
which might have been saved the
District had the charges been
previewed by competent legal
authorities before presentation
to the Police Trial Board.
Trial Cost $1,000
The trial which ended in a not
guilty. verdict, cost the taxpayers
nearly $1,000 to conduct. A
major item in the bill, he said,
was the testimony transcription
which covered nearly 1000 pages
at so cents per page.
Ford, in his suggestion, said
he agreed with Corporation
Counsel Elwood Seal, who indi-
Gated Saturday that he would ask
the District Commissioners to
order police officials to turn over
all such cases to his office for
preview of the evidence.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Edward M. Welliver, who
handled the prosecution of Win.
field, said that had he studied
the case he probably would have
recommended the charges be
dropped before they reached the
trial stage, because of INSULT
Gent evidence which collapsed OF
its own weight under croSs-exam-
nation by defense counsel.
Half of Charges Dropped
The Government, he pointed
out, was obliged to ask the
Board to drop half of the
charges against Winfield midway
in the trial because Of the film
siness of the evidence on which
they were based.
Opponents of the plan, who re-
fused to be quoted, pointed out
that adoption of such a proce-
dure would rob the Police De-
partment of it's time-honored
privilege Of maintaining discip-
line in it's own ranks"

Had Enjoyable Time Meeting
With Scouts Of Foreign
Nations

Americans held the ascendancy
in popularity, cleanliness, and or
derliness of their camp, and the
Region 10 troop-comprised of 60
boys from Minnesota and four sur
rounding states-was rated the top
troop Of all at the international
Boy Scout Jamboree, said Russell
Larson, Troop rs. on his return to
this city last week. Russell earned
his trip in an essay contest spon-
sored by Paramount Pictures that
took him to Washington, d. c., and
then on to the scene Of the world
jamboree at Vogelenzang, Holland.
$4,000 boys representing every
nation of the world from Iceland
to the Argentine and from China
to England made up the huge
camp in Holland that was official
ly opened on July 31st by Queen
Wilhelmina, head Of the Holland
Kingdom. and Lord Baden-Powell,
elderly founder Of the Scout move
ment. Only two nations-Germany
and Russia-have no Boy Scout
movement. The boys there now are
subjected to army life.
It took a good deal Of explaining
by the Americans to some of the
thoughts Of the rest Of the camp.

From World .J0mbOree

The Indian pageant displayed by
the Americans drew responsive
comments by the crowd assembled.
Everyone asked if the Indians still
ran wild here and did we have
much trouble with them. They
thought that all Americans are mill
lionaires, and the fact that the
American contingent were the only
ones to use cots, blankets, and air
mattresses as their bedding equip
ment, enhanced the thought. Rus
sell said that tales began floating
around the camp that the Ameri-
cans brought cooks and servants
along with them.
OF the nationalities gathered

were the easiest to get along with,
Russell said, although the Scandin-
avians were dandy fellows. OF

Adopt New
Green River
Ordin ance
Provided To Stop Peddling
And Hawking
Nuisance
TO WIDEN BIRD STREET
To Start Work Sept. 22-
Lower License On Ma
chimes

This week three ordinances of
major Importance to the citizens
of Sank Centre appear in the Her.
aid for publication. The first, Chap
ter 210, is the Green River ordin-
ance, which will be in effect in
thirty days; the second, Chapter
211, pertains to licensing of pin
ball machines; the third, Chapter
212, prepares the way for the
widening of Third Street.
The work of widening Third
Street will be commenced on Sept
ember %, and it will be done by
WPA labor. The present sidewalks
on Third Street, from the corner
of Main and Third to the corner of
Third and Oak Sts., where the
work of widening will be done, are
fourteen feet in width. Under the
new ordinance the sidewalks on
Third Street after the street is
widened will be ten feet. This will
add eight feet to the width of the
street. It is expected that the
work will be complied before the
Good Will Days, October 5th and
9Th, as the Council plans to rush
operations along as fas as posi-
BILE, with a large crew.
In adopting the Green River or
dinance, which has been in force
in over 200 cities and villages in
Minnesota, the Council plans to
eliminate the nuisance of hawking
and peddling from house to house.
This ordinance has been upheld in
the Supreme Court, and it's fpuc-
tions have been proven successful
in other cities. The penalty for vio-
lation of this ordinance includes q
fine Of not more than 500, or con-
finement in the City or County
Jail for a period Of not to exceed
thirty days. A resume of the Or
dinance 210 reveals that upon sol
'icitation Of the owner, owners, or
occupants sales may be made at
the home. However, in thirty days
house-to-house peddling will be a
nuisance within the city, and will
be punishable according to the
penalty Of the ordinance.
Chapter No. 211, which pertains
to the operation Of pin ball or me-
chanical amusement devices in the
city, provides for license of fifty
dollars per machine or device, pay
able July 1, 1887, and annually
thereafter. A license must be OBJ
tanned before any machine or de-
vice can be installed. The city
clerk is authorized to issue such Ii
censes, as approved by the City
Council, upon payment Of the fee
by the applicant. The original Ii
censes set on mechanical amuse-
ment devices was one hundred dol
lars per machine per year.
