The recent stabbing affrays and the reports of burglaries from various parts of the city is believed to have influenced the city council last evening in. accepting favorably an ordinance that provides for electric lights In the alleys back of saloons and liquor houses. Chief of Police Gormon recently appeared before the board of . works urging that it be made obligatory on saloonists to place lights? behind their places of business to assist the police in preventing crime and to safeguard citizens who are comj"jh?dAo use the alleys. j-W' According to anMW&nce now pend ing, before council saloonists will be compelled to place a sixteen candle

The new ordinance does not provide that the inspection be done according to the rules and regulations of the department of agriculture, and several councilmen asserted their doubt about an impartial inspection under the new measure. Members said that the new. ordinance was only temporary. J -,, The ordinance demanding, lights behind saloons was introduced by tottS? cilmaa Yon Pein. He proposed ttieordinance to promote public safety.

'.Building Code. Because .Mayor Zimmerman , decided that the. building code was not in proper form to present to the council, the matter was put off until the committee appointed for revising and shortening it makes a report to the council., Mayor Zimmerman said the code was too , long and had too many restrlc tions. Secretary C. W. Jordan of the Commercial club was present expecting to discuss the code with the council. Mr. Jordan and W KBradburyJ of the Commercial club revised the code recently and believe it is in proper form to present to the city officials. Mayor Zimmerman appointed Councilmen Burdsall, Kauffman, Waidele and Von Pein to act as a committee to revise the code with the Commercial club committee. Meat Inspection.

Today the Palladium is a modern newspaper in every respect and has a circulation of 7,359. The Palladium's average circulation in the city of Richmond is 4.200. It is estimated that there are 5,300 homes in this city and the Paliadium enters about 85 per cent of them. On an average there are four people residing in every home in this city, so it is estimated that at least 16,800 people in Richmond read the Palladium every evening. On the rural routes . of Wayne county the Palladium goes into 2,000 of the 3,000 farm houses. In the small towns of the county, the Palladium has a circulation of over 1,000.

The rather grotesque sight of girls clambering down the walls of the dormitory in garments other than those used in the class rooms and holding towels in their hands was occasioned by the desire of the college, authorities to see if the girls would stampede in case of a fire alarm. . None of the co-eds , swooned, although some, complained that , the cement sidewalks were cold and that their loose wraps and kimonos were scant , protection against a frosty November evening. Some of them wrapped the towels, which the regulations prescribe they must carry in the fire drill, around their necks to keep from catching colds.; When the girls reached the ground they marched to a tablet affixed at a prominent place and registered. After the noses had been counted and the signatures tallied -by the professor in charge, of the building,; the girls were permitted to return to their rooms. WILL ATTEND Good Roads Conferences.

MINISTERS : SUPPORT BUTCHERS' ACTION Pass Strong Resolution Favoririg. Closing. of AHMeat ' Shops on Sundays.

. The. butchers, who are trying to keep -their shops closed - on Sundays found a powerful ally yesterday in the Ministerial 'association- .-wnicn in a strong resolution endorses the step and passed a mild stricture on the ac tion of a few "who. would attempt to break down.. this effort lof -the meat men." .. . . . , . It will be remembered that It was only after heroic effort on the part of leading butchers . that ; all of them i finally consented to the step. Through some in advised publicity,' as some butchers. termed .it the 'impression was subsequently created that not all butchers would obey - the -ruling. ; The following week all butchers declared their willingness to close on Sundays, and a canvass of the housewives of the' city indicated that they were heartily in favor - of the step. Some, butchers asserted that proprie tors of other stores were laying in supplies of meats and selling them on Sundays. Text of Resolution. -This step provoked a discussion at the Ministerial -association meeting yesterday and the following resolution was passed: - . r "The Ministerial Association, in session .yesterday morning, expressed its sympathy with the meat dealers who are trying to secure the Sabbath rest for themselves and clerks and most earnestly deprecated what appears to be the action of a few who would attempt to break down this effort of the meat' men by keeping open store on the Sabbath. : This is a matter of justice. .Every man. has a divine right to the Sabbath rest." To rob a man of this rest unnecessarily is just as dishonest as to rob him of bis money. The wrong is not lessened bat aggravated when thoughtless Christians buy meat on the Sabbath. - He who would rob another of his Sabbath -deserves , it not for himself and under a just God will not long retain It." f "S.
