China To Adopt Social Security (Ry Associated Press) LONDON, July 13.—China intends to adopt a social security law, representatives from that country, who ar- rived today, told the British government.

On their return to China, they added, a law, similar to the British social security measure, will be adopted in China for its’ four million people. MILI DIS ST SID serted, Hernandez was seen com- ing.from a liquor place on Smith Jane. This the officer denied, but Chief Eisner informed the board that he saw the officer coming from the place, questioned - the bar-tender and that the “barten- der told the chief that Hernandez “might have had a drink”. Most emphatic denial of the charges were made by Patrolman John Nelson, wiso was accused of ;being drunk while on duty. Nelson, who is married and the father of three children, was charged with having ported for duty as night jailer May 18 in an intoxicated con- ! ‘dition. Chief Eisner said when he was informed of Nelson's alleged’ ‘condition, he sent him home. © “Instead of suspending Officer Nelson on the spot, I sent him home out of the kindness of my heart”, Chie#*Eisner told “the in- vestigators. Nelson said he was not drunk, but’ suffering with a cets on the foree of being drunk on duty “at various times. Lieut. Kemp. also testified that ; Nelson was drunk, > ‘Accused of having been seen coming from the side door of a arroom on lower Duval’ street on the night of June 10, Patrol- man Carl Ingraham said he was not there for a drink, but -was investigating a gambling tip. The officer raided an alleged gambl- ing place in a room above the saloon a week before. Chief Eisner said his investiga- tion of Ingraham’s activities on the night in question led him to a bar-maid in the saloon. “After an attempt at coyness and a series of giggles, the girl finally told me the officer came in to see her,” the chief told the civil service board. The chief said he asked the girl if Ingraham had a drink while in the place. “Wouldn't you like to know,” the chief quoted the girl as reply- ing. The spectators sat up in their chairs when Ingraham’s wife was called to testify in his be- | half on charges that the officer called the city patrol wagon and took his wife to jail when she refused to leave a cafe and go home on the night of June 2. Mrs. Igraham admitted she was drinking “quite a bit” in a cafe, and that her husband threatened to call the “wagon” if she did not quiet down and go home. When she refused to do this, the testi- mony revealed, the officer sum- moned the patrol wagon and Mrs. Ingraham was taken to the city (Continued von Page Four) CASA CAYO HUESO (The Southernmost House) 1400 Duval at South St. DINING ROOM and COCKTAIL LOUNGE ——Opens 5 P.M.
