Mayor Green Won't Have Sunday Law
Repealed.

The following interview with Mayor
Green Is from a Kansas City evening pa
per:
No ice cream ''sodys" or cherry sundaes
for Topeka tomorrow.
William Green, mayor of the. Kansas
capital who was at the Kupper hotel last
night, says it will be dark blue Sabbath.
1t is the result of the fight between
the city administration and the theater
managers" the mayor explained last
night. "A test case was carried to the
supreme court and the decision closed the
theaters- These managers set about with
the aid of the druggists and the tobacco
dealers to close up everything on Sunday
The stores are closing up on their own
accordingly have been assured that the
city would not prevent their opening as
the supreme court decision cited only the
theaters I believe the action of the drug
and cigar stores will rouse opposition
rather than sympathy. Even If the
council should pass an ordinance annul-
ling the Sunday labor measure would
veto it If knew that 1t would cost me
my office the next day.
shops will be open till 10 o'clock in the
morning and that no restaurant will
close.
