Fourteenth Year No. 3811
Price, Five Cent
ORDINANCES
HELD UP FOR
Garage Men Object to Features of
Proposed Regulatory Ordinance
and Council Orders Re-draftlng
Theater Regulations Also Pending.
Garage men In full force were on
band last night at the meeting of the
city council, to protest certain -provisions
of the ordinance proposed for
regulating public garages, which was
up for passage, and propose amend
ments which they claimed would
make the law more practical In en
forcement. Mr. Brownell, speaking
for the garage owners, said they had
held an association meeting and con
sidered the matter carefully, All were
" for Improvement 'and regulation, he
i said, but certain sections of the pro
posed ordinance were Impractical.
He asked, for one thing, that the
section prohibiting stoves, forges or
pressure torches be eliminated, as
serting that they were absolutely es
sential In a repair shop, which he
construed as being part of the gar
age and coming under the ordinance
regulation.
Similarly, he said, the clause for
hldding the charging of a gas en
gine with gasoline on garage prem
ises would practically forbid tne re
pair of as engine, as It is necessary,
.almost invariably to start the engine
several times and try it out during
the repair process.
The "No Smoking" prohibition, ac
cording to the garage men, was al
right but it made mandatory on the
owners to compel its enforcement,
might work a hardship In case a fire
originated from a match or cigarette
stub, as the underwriters could claim
that the responsibility was uionth'o
owner for not obeying the law. The
owners thought It proper to placard
the 'building vwlth' -"No Smoking"
niena. but not make It compulsory on
the proprietor toeriforce them on the
puouc or eiui'iuf i
The owners of their dwn volition
added amendment, prohibiting the
ia of a easollne spray''for cleaning
motors, or using any vuicanizms "--fit
other than steam or electric vul
canlzers. The conference finally arrived at a
near deadlock over the definition of
a fire-proof building, the type, that
the ordinance will require in future
amendment
garage structures. The owners appar
ently feared requirement of steel and
concrete "Class A" construction.
Councilman Upp explained the type
of building tho council had in mind
was" a building other than a frame
building, constructed of stone, brick
or concrete with a tire-proof roof
JL' Finally It was decided to submit
' J the ordinance, as amended by the
garage men, to the city attorney for
re-draftlng, the clause regarding the
type of building required to contain a
P definition of a fire-proof structure
from the council's viewpoint.
Theater Ordinance
' It, ; Next came H. W. Poole, proprietor
of the Liberty theater, with sugges
tions regarding the proposed theater
ordinance, which he said would make
it more acceptable to the theater men
and not reduce Its efficiency from
the standpoint of public safety.
He said thai his theater conform
' ed to the ordinance proposed, with
the exception that its aisles were
three feet wide Instead of four. Three
feet is tho width prescribed by the
state law. He said he had two three
foot aisles at present, but could
change his seats to give the building
O ' one four-foot aisle, keeping within
the law but making a more inconven
ient seating arrangement.
The council agreed with Mr. Poole
on the aisle question and passage of
the ordinance was laid over for an
other week. In the meantime theater
' ', managers will hold a conference to
consider proposed amendments which
they will submit to tho council,
fins Storage Ordlnanco
An ordinance regulating the stor
age of gasoline and forbidding Its
storage within the city limits In
quantities of more than ten gallons,
except In underground containers,
-was not considered. After a brief

Mr. Coe, prdprletof ofVthe local" JJtr
ney service, wanted to know what
the mayor and council were going to
do about enforcing the ordinance,
prohibiting the parking of cars on
Main street for more than 20 minutes
without moving. He said enforcement
of the law would enforce serious
hardship on tho jitney men, and that
as they paid occupation taxes to the
city their protests should receive
consideration.
Mayor Struble said that the ordi
nance would be enforced against all
car's that the parking of cars on Main
street had reached a point where It
was found impossible to clean the
streets during the recent snow storm
because of the closely parked cars.
Tho street must be kept clean, said
,the mayor, and the cars must be
moved.

KEEPS MARRIAGE A
SECRET THREE WEEKS
"Well would, you believe It?" Is
the question that is fired.back at you
vhen you tell any of the many friends
of "Charlie" Baldwin that he has
forsaken the ranks of bachlorhood,
and got married. But that Is the fact..
The worst part of. it ls"that he kept
the fact so quiet that none of his
friends knew anything about It,
though the important event occurred
at Lakeview, December 14, 1919. On
that date he was married' to Leona
Tracey. None of the particulars have
reached, the city, but this will .not
prevent his friends from extending to
him thejr congratulationsas well as
best wishes to tho oriae.

Speculation revolves upon .what tne
President may say on the question at
a third term, and on the peace treaty
as a campaign issue. Many party
leaders expect William Jennings Bry
an, one of the speakers, to put him
self definitely Into the running for
the Democratic nomination for Pre
sident.
The shadow of Bryan is beginning
to loom larger and larger -upon the
horizon of Democratic national poli
tics. There no longer Is any doubt in
the minds of the politicians that Bry
an is shaping his plans to capture
control of the Demlcratlc nomination
for President. He Is unmistakably
beginning to assert party leadership,
and all of the candidates and pros
pective candidates for the Democratic
nomination realize that he Is a pow
er to be reckoned with.
At the Jackson day dinner to be
given, here January 8. many of the
potential candidates will be "trotted
"out and their paces shown ''before
'several hundred Democratic leaders
who. wll be In. Washington for the
session ot'the" Democratic national
committee, which will fix. the' 'time

And Bryan will be there to deliver
an address In which he will define

otnift nil and sundry aspirants what
attitude they must assume on public
questions if they expect to $et within

It is not doubted that the tests ot

will be rigid, and it is just possible
that no one but himself will be found
qualified. , '
Bryan will dominate this prelim
inary showing of the candidates as
ho did at tho Jackson day dinner in
1912, when Woorow Wilson won
tte favorable regard of the peerless
leader. That Is, he will dominate the
affair unless the President himself
should1 put In an appearance.
" Eipcct Word From Wilson. i
Mr. Wilson has been invited, and
though it has been assumed he would
not be well enough to attend, there
have been many hints emanating
from the White House to the effect
that the President soon would de
monstrate his physical fitness in a
public appearance.
But even if unable to attend, it is
expected he will send a message,
which may disclose whethor ho In
tends to bo a candidate. Bryan and
the Democratic leaders generally are
proceeding on tho assumption that .
Mr. Wilson will not bo a candidate,,
but definite assurances aro still lack
llnr. I . k,41
After the dinner Mr. Bryan will
take the stump to educate the poo-
nlit nn tho (RSIinfl. Ho is said to be
I Stent upon making government
ownership of tho railroads a cardinal
issue, thus reviving a plank ho was
compolled to abandon 18 years ago.
