CAN FAST DAY BE ABOLISHED?
One Massachusetts Legislator Claims that
the Legislature Cannot Do 1t.

Boston, March 15.-Representative
Hayes of Lowell, in the House this
afternoon, raised a number OF points OF
o1der against the constitutionality of
the bill to abolish Fast Day. He claims
the bill is in conflict with the article of
the constitution which prohibits the legis
lature from interfering with religious
observances of the citizens: that it seeks
to abridge the Governors prerogat1ve by
depriving him of the power to create
a Fast Day. He further claims that the
bill is out of order because. there is no
day set apart by legislation as day of
fasting and hence the legislature cannot
abolish any such day. When the bill
came up for enactment in the House.
the chair ruled that the points raised
by Mr.. Hayes were legal and constitu..
tionaI and not swithin the province OF
the chair to rule upon. Mr.. Hayes
wanted the bill referred to the commit
tee on constitutional amendments, in
order to secure an opinion from the
Supreme Court. The chair ruled it was
not within his power to rule. Mr..
Hayes then moved to strike out the
