SUNDAY CLOSING LAW.
Interest Manifested in the Hearing
Next Thursday.

Much interest is already being manifested
in the possible developments at the hearing
before the Board of Commissioners on next
Thursday, when arguments for and against
the proposed Sunday closing law viii ne
heard. 1t Is conceded that there Will be "A
great marshaling of contending forces, both
sides being determined to make as good a
showing possible. hoping thereby 10 In
f1uence the report of the Commissioners TO
the District committee in Congress on the
projected measure.
While the arrangements of preliminaries
to the hearing are progressing, there has
been some little evidence of confusion, both
the advocates of the measure and the pro
testants against 1t being uncertain as TO the
origin of the bill. Several inquiries to
this end have been received by Commits
sioner Macfariand, the writer's asking
whether there is more than one sunday
closing law in contemplation; whether the
Commissioners prepared and submitted 20
Congress draft of a bill which they con-
sidered advisable or whether the Allen btIi
introduced in the House on January by
Representative Allen Of Maine, is the only
proposed measure which Will be up for dis
cusson To all of the questions Mr.. Mac
farland has replied that the Allen bill Is
the only one before the Commissioners Tor
report.
In the midst of an informal discussion or
the Allen bill this morning the attention
of Commissioner mcfarland was called to
one of the statements made In the pre-
aulble to that measure, to the effect that
1.-THE bill has been twice approved in pre-
vious congresses by the Commissioners OF
the District Of Columbia" Mr.. Macfariand
said that the Commissioners may have APP
proved other projected Sunday closing
laws" but he was sure that no proposed
measure of such wide scope, taking In SO
many lines of trade and business, as the
Allen bill had ever been reported upon py
the Commissioners.
