Cox in the Police Court this morning, being the first to come up under a recently passed ordinance prohibiting street preach- ing or public speaking of any Kind on the streets without a license or a permit from the mayor.

In the Police Court this morning Rev, Shellhamer stated that he thought regulation agains. ttemp preachers and people of that class was advisable, but that he did not think it shoulq apply to a citi- zen of Lakeland and a resident pas- tor of a church. He said he had ap- plied to the muayor for a permit, hu! that under that official's construe- tion of the ordinance, he was no' | #hlp to grant the permit, or, at least, would not grant it. He declared that he wished to he a law-abiding citizen, but that he dig not think the ordinance was intended to apply to resident ministers, and intimated that the regulation was unconstitu- tional. As Mr. Shelllimer pleaded guilty fo knowingly violating an ordinance, [ there was no choice top the court ex- copt to impoge o line, and Judge Cox therefore assesscd the minimum fine of $5 and costs, suspending the same for thirty days, and advising Mr. Skellhamer in the meantime to po suane i g seraping is well under w No. 302. e nlmvn MNIE IO SOON WAGE MANVBATILES HOSTILITIES OF SERIOUS NA- TURE NOW IMPENDING IN EASTERN TURKEY.
