Minto states. Signs explaining use ox toe zones are ready but have not . been erected because of a shortage of bolts. The zones, authorized' by a city council resolution August 18, are an attempt to abolish doable parking; by delivery track. A 15-minute limit was set on their use. Several tickets" have been is-5 sued to private automobiles using the spaces, although drivers were only warned during the-first days Of the zones, jChief Minto said. Fines'of $1 each are imposed. : .Seven zones have been installed and others already authorized, are to be added as the need appears, said Minto. Each is two parking spaces wide. . The zones authorized in August were one on each side of the street in each block of Court, State and Ferry from Front to High street, and of High, Liberty and Com mercial : from Ferry to Court street Two additional, on both sides of.

C. Burk was advised Saturday that his office should aot fingerprint a man under ar rest and not yet convicted unless he voluntarily submitted to the identification process. Burk said that already had been his custom. The opinion, given by Dist Atty. MUler B. Hayden, who said he submitted it at the request of Circuit Judge L. H. McMahan, read as follows: Tor your Information Sec tion 86-725 OCLA)ln substance ; provides that after conviction of a crime the sherifrs office ; mar make fingerprint , records ' of the defendant. The weight of authority is, however, that sim ply upon a man's arrest as a "suspect or under conditions where conviction has not been had and is innocent by court of common jurisdiction, that after the suspect protests, or refuses to voluntarily submit having his fingerprints taken, he is within his legal right, and he cannot be cess. "However, any person who may De arrested upon a charge, or taken Into custody in any lawful manner by your office, may be fingerprinted ' providing that he voluntarily submits to the ' same and raises no objection. f, "I want to again make it plain that this is a matter which has been taken up with this office by Judge McMahan, and we are no tifying you as to the law at his request The district attorney's office is also an officer of the court, as well as the sheriff; and when the court requests an. offi cer of the court to perform a law ful duty, it is necessary under -the law that it be done. ' Hence the communication." ddlt loo ..in thm Nem KANSAS CrTY7rVThe men who have run the nation's hand shaking bill up in the neighbor hood of $6,000,000,000 a year were told it wasn't enough. C. N.

' .. . . .. SEATTLE, Sept H.-VPhA naval sentry's shots In the direc tion of a newspapermen's boat at the landing of the two flying boats of a Russian military mission here Thursday brought ed itorial reverberations against Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox Saturday.

"The shots were directed at the speedboat piloted by Paul CNeU, newspaper reporter, and Harold Smitty) Smith, photographer. The. boat with Smith taking a rapid fire series of pictures of the Russian seaplane, came close Inshore into a zone where private small craft are prohib ited.

CNeil said he had started1 to swing out into Lake Washington after taking the pictures ' without interference. Four shots rang out for a navy patrol boat which had set but aft er, the press boat " O'Neill said he did not hear the first warning shots across his bow, probably because of the roar of boat and airplane motors. But the fourth one nearly hit his boat - He said the chief petty officer, whose name was not disclosed, told him afterward.' - The fourth was a line shot , and It must have ricocheted off the water right near you. If It had been a little higher.
