CITY TO VOTE ON
SUNDAY THEATRE
Advent of Moving Picture Show
Held Responsible for Sit
uation at Bloomington.
COUNCIL REFUSES TO AID
Fifteen Hundred Sign Petitions Ask
ing Submission of Question at
the Polls.

Bloomington, ILL.,, March 11.-For |
the first time in Illinois, Blooming
ton voters will express their views at
the polls upon the question. of OPEN
ing the theatres and other amuse-
ment houses on Sunday. Special bal
lots will be provided at the regular
city election in April for the pur-
pose. Sentiment appears divided al
most evenly.
Bloomington always has been re-
garded as a model town from the
standpoint of the moralist. Only the
cigar stores, restaurants, ice cream
parlors and drug stores are open on
Sunday and baseball is prohibited in
side the city limits on the Sabbath.
The comparatively recent advent of
the moving picture shows is said to
be responsible for the alleged change
in public sentiment.
1880 ASK VOTE.
Proprietors of the scent theatres
claim their patrons wish to go to this
amusement on Sunday. Failing to
obtain the passage of a favorable or
dinance and being threatened with
prosecution if they attempted to open
on Sunday, the proprietors of the
scent houses decided to submit the
question to the voters in order to
convince the aldermen that a major
ity favored the open Sunday. Fiji
teen hundred names were signed to a
petition asking for ballot.
The council consulted legal author
tiles and finally obtained advice of
Attorney General Stead, who said he
knew of no provision of the law
which prevented the submission of
the question under the public policy
act now on the Illinois statute books.
Mr.. Stead stated that he believed the
regulation of theatricals and shows
came under the head of public pol
ICY" and, although the question was
a novel one, he believed the voters
had a right to express their senti-
ments.
Mr.. Stead further stated, however,
that the expression of the people was
merely suggestive and not mandatory
and that the council had the power
to respect or ignore the expression
as II saw mt.

Their actions in purchasing Hudsons
instead of English cars when they be-

the attitude of East Indians toward the
British regime. One thing which APP

AUTOMOBILE NOTES

The strides Atlanta is making as the
automobile center of Dixie is indicated by
the fact that the Jackson Motor Company,
of jackson, Mich, has just decided to
open a branch here This company is
negotiating now for a Peachtree street
location. Space has been secured at the
show, an exhibit of cars expressed from
the factory, and the new 1918 Jacksons
will be on exhibition at the Auditorium the
rest of the week.
Fred J. Strong is manager of the new
branch. He has been with the Jackson
company for. years He will have most of
the South as his territory.
f. A Witt, Georgia race driver who
made his reputation handling EMF and
Flanders cars and who is now with the
Flanders company, is a visitor at the
show. Mr.. Witt is enthusiastic. over the
proposed consolidation OF the Flanders
company and the United States Motor
Company with Walter Flanders head of
the new consolidation. He like every

diets big things for the combination.
The crowds continue big at the auto
mobile show All Southern records will
be surpassed.
And the attractive feature to the ex-
hibitors is that there are so few Joy
lockers and so many bona-fide pros
poets. People aren't there to hear the
music and to look at the decorations, but
to study 1913 models and to decide which
cars to buy. These people are glad to
have their names put on mailing lists
for catalogues and for circulars and are
real prospective purchasers.

The Nel0 HUDSON 81" limousine body is designed
by recognized artsts-men who build $4,000 and 900
closed cars.
These lmousines embody the master strokes in body
building. The secret behind their surprising beauty,
comfort and roominess is that the Hudson Motor Car
Company is this year building 10000 chassis. There is
not a maker of high priced mousines who builds
1000 pleasure and there but who has reached
that output.
Hence the Hudson Company buys materials in 10 times
the quantity that the average limousine builder does For
his production is smaller and material cost heavy.
Consequently at 81, $50 less you can secure in the
