Judge Wallace Will Go Right on With
Prosecutions of Sunday Workers.

Kansas City, April 17.-Judge Will
was well pleased today at the first
conviction last night in theatrical
case growing out of his campaign for
the enforcement of the Sunday OBJ
servance laws of Missouri.
Judge Porterfield's instructions to
the jury in the case of l.. A. Keller,
the ticket seller convicted of violating
the Sunday labor statute by selling
tickets on Sunday vindicates my posi-
ton on the law and agrees with that
of our supreme court" said he.
Judge Wallace had been quoted as
saying he would ask the grand jury to
inquire into the work of the petit Jury
that on Wednesday failed to find a YER
Taafe, a ticket seller.
''The defense offered no evidence that
the defendant, Taafe, did not work"
said Judge Wallace, land the state
had evidence that he did. Under these
circumstances 1t seems inexplica BILE
>how the jury refused to return a YER
dict for conviction, unless some of them
deliberately refused to obey their
oaths."
The cases OF the other indicted the
atricaI men will be taken up without
delay, beginning next week. and ac-
cording to Judge Porterfield, to whose
division they have been transferred
upon order of the state supreme court,
they will be pushed to an early con-
cfusion. In the meantime Judge Wal
lace, the latter says, will continue to
seek the Indictment from week to week
of others who violate the Sunday law.
There is to be no letup.
