GiYNOR OPPOSED
TO TIGHT SUNDAYS
NEW YoRK's MAYOR ELECT PUTS
HIMSELF ON RECORD ON
THIS QUESTION.
He and the New District Attorney,
EIeot Have Arrived at a Definite
Agreement Regarding Sunday Laws
in the Big Metropolis.

New York, Dec. 21.-New York 10
lice have become tired of fighting the
Sunday amusements.
At conference between Mayor
elect Gayncr and Nh Charles S. Whit
man, district attorney elect, today, il
was agreed that after January | next
there were to be no more blue sun
days.
This means u liberal Interpretation
Of the laws. The laws viii stand as
they are, but will not be enforced,
the police, the natural guardians OF
the peace OF the people, being ordered
to use discretion in tae execution of
their dudes, as defined by statutes
r oIl uances.
inta-ierence with popular amuse-
menJs on Sunday is regarded as a
hard hin to thousands who are unable
to enjoy themselves on any other day
Of tie week. That is the idea OF
Judge Gaynor, and in this view he
has any thousand Of followerers.
On he otAer hand, it is sharply
proclaimed that liberty d es not mean
license; that the rights OF others must
be respected and that it is not intend
ed that saloon should run wide open,
or Sunday be transferred into a day
of riotous celebration.

CROWDS WERE OUT
PLEASANT WEATHER BROUGHT
MANY HOLIDAY SHOPPERS
OUT ON THE STREETS.

Following the very disagreeable
weather of Monday, came a bright day
yesterday, which was welcomed by
the holiday shoppers and more so by
the merchants. The day was wet and
cold, but compared to the weather
handed out Monday it was simply the
best kind of weather.
The merchants we're all more than
pleased with the holiday trade and
the indications ere that what at first
appeared to be a dull Christmas bus
mess will, before the week is out,
turn out to be one OF the biggest in
the history Of the city
Fair weather Is again predicted for
today, and though it may be slightly
colder this will not keep the shoppers
out and it is expected that all Of the
stores win be well crowded.

The proposed Commission form OF

to enlist the cooperation in munich
