Heavy Penalties Would

Just Introduced
Uniform Closing Hours
for Stores is Subject
of One Ordinance
, War on noise, be It the bark of
a dog. the clatter of a steam
shovel, or the toot of an automo
bile horn would be declared by
the city If an ordinance Intro-,
duced at last night's city council
meeting should be adopted. The
council also received an ordin
ance regulating the open hours of
stores and a request for an ord
inance prohibiting the shining of
shoes on Sunday. .
A maximum fine of $500 and
jail sentence of op to six months'
duration would be the penalty for
violating the anti-noise ordinance,
patterned after similar measures
being tried in other cities. The
bill is divided into half a dozen
classifications as to time and loca
tion of forbidden noises. It was
Introduced by Alderman Van Wle
der. Any unnecessary noise in a pub
lic place would, be banned and
the regulations would be more
stringent near hospitals, schools
and churches. Public address cars
and blaring radios would come
under the ban while peddlers'
cries would be prohibited between
9 p. m. and 7 a. m. and on Sun
days. Owners would be required
to rid the city of habitually bark-
ing, yelping or howling dogs, dup
licating the present "banty roost
er" ordinance. Contractors would
not be permitted to operate steam
shovels, concrete mixers or air
hammers between 10 p. m. and 7
a. m. without first obtaining
written permission of the mayor.
Alderman Edwin C. Goode
nough "by request" introduced
the store closing ordinance,
which was backed by a petition
signed by C. S. Orwig and 39 oth
er merchants. The bill is sponj
ored by a committee consisting of
Orwig, representing Independent
market operators; Grant Pyatt,
central Willamette valley market
supervisor for Safeway stores,
and James Preble, business agent
for the meat cutters and butch
er workers union.
The bill would set store open
ing hours at 8 a.m. and closing
hours at C p.m. the first five days
of the week and 7 p.m. on Satur
days. Sunday dealings would be
prohibited.
Shoe Shining on
Sunday Opposed
Held to be representing all shoe
shining shops, another petition
iqrged that an ordinance be adopt
ed making It "unlawful to rub.
polish or shine shoes on Sunday."
Still another petition, signed by
67 persons, protested the proposed
removal of the city bus junction
from the State and Commercial
street intersection to a private
loading and transfer terminal on
Liberty street between. Court and
Chemeketa streets. The ordinance
granting the proposed change was
not reported out of committee.

More Sensations
Mark Hamm Case
ST. PAUL, July 20,-tf)-Two
of his fellow members of the po
lio kidnap detail in 1933 added
further sensational testimony, to
day to assertions by a government
witness , last week that Tom
Brown, former St. Paul police
chief, disclosed police movements
to the kidnapers of William
Hamm, Jr.
Thomas Dahlll, also a former
police chief, on the witness stand
for the government in the trial
of John "Jack" Peifer as "finger
man" for Hamm's abductors, tes
tified be had instructed Brown
the night after Hamm was freed
following payment of a $100,000
ransom in June, 1933, to investi
gate a house alleged to have been
the gang's "hideout" here.
"About a half hour later," Da
hlll added, "he (Brown), told me
that those people at 20 4 Vernon
avenue in St. Paul had no con
nection with the kidnaping."
The testimony of Dahlll. who
resigned from the police force
tome time ago, was followed by
a statement from the stand by
Charles Tierney. now inspector of
detectives, that the kidnapers
-made a change in their plans for
delivery of the ransom, allegedly,
the government contends, as a
result of a "tip-off"? of police
plans.
