"Freedom for all, but license for none." is the way Ban Francisco will celebrate the new year, according to instructions issued to his men by Chief of Police Seymour. Hoodllsm is strictly taboo, but otherwise "go as far as you like," says the chief. Nearly 800 policemen will be on the streets to see that his orders are enforced. Confetti, ticklers, bells and other implements of torture will be per mitted, with certain restrictions, ex plained to the patrolmen in a lengthy document posted in all the Btatlons. Masking also will be permitted, but any tendency to "rought house" is to be severely dealt with. The feature of the merrymaking will be the midnight promenade in Market street, at which time street car traffic will be suspended and the entire thoroughfare turned over to the merry-makers. The parade will be the largest ever held in San Fran cisco, according to advance Indica tions.

In the old "wide open town" days Spokane was the most riotous spot in the Northwest Just before a new year made its debut, but for the last few years, hilarity has been on a much more moderate scale. Several parades and confetti bands will march up and down the streets, and the larger cafes and restaurants are preparing for the largest New Year's business in their history.

That was the piece of Irrele vant evidence which gave him a new trial.
