ALEXANDRIA. Va. June 16, 1908.
Dispensers Of soda water. cigars. maya
sines. groceries and other things which
are not deemed necessary to be sold Sun
day will hereafter have to cease bust
ness on that day. An ulttmatum to the
above effect was sent out last night by
Chief Goods Of the police force at the
instance Of Mayor Paff and beginning
Sunday next the proprietors Of all places
which have heretofore been keeping open
will be compelled to close their establish
ments or be subject to a fine Of not less
than 81 for the first offense. Every Of
tense thereafter is punishable by Q min
imum fine of $ under the city ordinance.
Chief Goods explained this morning that
1t is permissible to deliver ice, ice cream
and other goods purchased Sunday which
are regarded as perishable Drug stores
Will be allowed to keep open to dispense
drugs throughout the day. The sale Of
newspapers will also be permitted. Maya
zines win also come under the ban Lunch
rooms will be allowed to remain open.
This action was brought about by the
closing Of the places OF business conducted
by number Of Greek fruit dealers and
the closing Of the poolrooms. Some time
ago several proprietors of places Of the
character named were fined 81 each, and
they noted an appeal to the corporation
court. The cases have not yet been de-
cided upon 1t Is understood the Greeks
expected to test the rights of the others
to keep open while they remained closed.
This morning the order sent out last
night Is the principal topic of conversation
on the streets, although none of the deal
ers who will suffer thereby expressed a
willingness to have the matter brought
into the court for test. It is generally
believed. however, that before long a test
case will be made In order to finally
settle the matter.
