N HE attack on the Passion Play
by Rev. Charles Edward Locke
n of the First Methodist church
and Rev. J. w. Brougher of Temple
Baptist church, and resolution passed
by the Ministerial union, objecting to
the religious drama, have resulted in
replies from William Stoermer, under
whose direction the spectacle is being
prepared.
L believe that these gentlemen are
laboring under the greatest of misap-
prehension," said Mr.. Stoermer yester-
day. In the first place we are not
giving a theatrical performance. 1t
surmounts anything of that character.
1t is a religious presentation intended
to inspire and uplift every observer.
1t is a sacred story written by a man
of God, Rev. Josaphat Kraus, a friar
of the Franciscan order, living in San
Francisco.
THE participants and members of
the great choir are selected for their
piety as well as ability to present this
drama which has provided the principle
theme for men of the cloth for ages.
1t is the same presentation which has
drawn divines, great writer's, Christians
of every land and worshlpers of every
country to Oberammergau to witness
the sacred tragedy as portrayed there.
And, in all the years, no voice has
risen in criticism.
1.-The financial connection Of our
production also is misunderstood, re-
Vealing clearly that the critics have
not investigated the matter or read
the notices egarding the spectacle.
Personally, l object to a church
presenting a moving picture show of a
Passion Play posed for the purpose
by actors and put on for revenue only.
Such production is theatrical only.
and fails, by far, to perform any lie.
ligious duty.
Il note with satisfaction that the
sentiment regarding our production. at
the Ministerial union, was not unani-
nous. Some did not favor the resolu-
tion passed. one wisely advised that
the matter Of attending the Passion
Play properly should be left to the
conscience of each person. Another
pastor advocated the propriety of the
great spectacle, declared that it was
serving special mission and stated
that he would attend. l am not con-
cerned as manager regarding these at
tacks, but wish the truth to be given
the public in justice to the Franciscan
Fathers, under whose auspices this
great drama is to be given"
That crowded house will witness
the Passion Play next week at the
Auditorium vas indicated yesterday
when a line of subscribers besieged
the box office from an hour before the
sale opened '-ntil dusk.
In addition to the unceasinS demand
at the window the telephones were in
use throughout - day for the pur-
pose of recording orders. The mail list
yesterday also was as large as usual
and already a record breaking week is
in sight.
The rehearsal of the sumptuous sa-
cred tragedy began on the Auditorium
stage last evening and will run
throughout the entire twenty-one acts,
additional tableauX, ccompanied by
the grand choir and solo music ar
ranged for the Passion Play.
Miss Miriam Meredith and her
brother, Master Ronald will not take
part in the Passion plays as they eX-
pect to leave in the near future for
Europe where they will remain until
July. They will return to fill engage
ments in the east next season.

DAM SO BUILT IT
CAN Be WRECKED
ENGINEER LEEDS REPLIES TO
ARIZONA COMPLAINTS
DANGERS AGAINST FLOOD STAGE
PROVIDED FOR
Structure Necessary to Provide for
Development Of Imperial
Valley Agricultural
Districts

That the building Of temporary
dam. below the intake of the COLI
fornia Development company's canal,
from the Colorado river, near Yuma
to the Imperial valley. may cause the
farm lands on the Arizona side to be-
come inundated when the river AGAIN
reaches flood stage, is the burden Oh
oonnlaints pouring in from Arizona
to the office of United states En-
gineer Leeds 723 Central building.
Residents of Arizona living near tne
intake are strenuous in their opposl-
ton to the building of temporary
dam. ii is said, but apparently do not
understand the plans of the engineer
office
This dam is necessary, 1T is declared
to raise the water of the Colorado
river SO the canal will take in enough
to provide for the Imperial valley agrl-
cultural district as at present the
Colorado river is so low the canal gets
but little of the water. The land on
the Arizona side is rather low, ana
it is feared if the temporary dam is
built at the intake it will throw the
water at flood stage into the loWlands
and result in inestimable damage put
Lieutenant Leeds stated yesterday he
had nermftted only the building of "A
superficial structure which, when the
river is at flood stage, easily can be
dynamited, SO the water will pursue
its natural course, and neither the
intake nor the lowlands on the op-
posite side will be affected.
THE construction engineer in charge
of the temporary dam" said Lieuten-
ant Leeds has promised me to erect
a small house close to the dam where
day and night a man will be kept with
sufficient dynamite at hand to wreck
the dam at a moments notice. The
nature of the dam it is proposed to
build is such that it is strong enough
merely to divert the waters to the
canal intake, and can easily be
wrecked if necessary"
Elsewhere, among those interested in
the Imperial valley. who say the tenn
porary dam is absolutely necessary to
avert a heavy agricultural loss in the
region affected. it is claimed the op-
position comes from real estate Inter-
ests at Yuma, who believe they see a
chance, it is said, to retard the de-
velopment Of the Imperial country If
they can prevent the construction of
the dam.

MOTOR AND FREIGHT TRAIN
COLLIDE HEAD-0N; NO DEAD
Crews Jump and Save Themselves, but
Several Passengers Sustain
Slight Injuries

SACRAMENTO March IA north
bound freight train on the Southern
Pacific line at Elk Grove collided head
on this morning with a motor car from
Sacramento to Stockton. The train
crews jumped and saved themselves,
but several of the passengers in the
motor car were badly injured, includ-
ing Rev. F. K. Baker, pastor of the
First Methodist Episcopal church of
this city
A special train with physicians and
nurses was sent from here. A cor
respondent at Elk Grove reports that
the accident was due to the freight
crew disobeying orders. The freight
was to have passed the motor car at
the Elk Grove siding. The brakeman
of the motor car had gone forward
to throw the switch when the freight
train loomed up in the fog, going at a
fair rate of speed. Before the engineer
could get it under control it crashed
into the motor, which was at stand
still.
The front of the motor was crushed
and the windows smashed Those in
jured were mostly cut by flying glass.
Some were bruised by being thrown
against seats.
