NEW YORK, June OF all
the fIabbergasted actresses who
ever faced an audience, Jane
Cowl was perhaps the flabber-
gastedest when she made her
first entrance in a special per-
Torrance of within the Law, "
a few afternoons ago.
There was an audience OF
something over 500 blind people,
for whom the performance was
being given, at the suggestion of
the manager of magazine print
ed for the blind.
But she had no sooner gotten
on the stage than the blind au-
dience burst into applause. 81
have never experienced anything
like it in my life," said the act
ress afterward. "There was moth
ing to tell them l had come on
the stage except the closing of
door and the clank of a hand
cuff, yet they knew it instantly
and applauded.
81 have never played to such
an audience. They got the COM
edy much quicker than the ordi-
nary audience"
Probably no such happy ans
enthusiastic audience ever sal

The Committee of Ten" appoint
ed by the Sabbath Observance
league, to hold conference with
the Tacoma Carnival association
committee. on Wednesday evening,
May 2S, desires to make a brief
statement to the members of the
league and the public. as follows:
The "Festo" committee received
us courteously and with an evil
dent desire that we might get to-
that they would not feel 1t neces-
sary, from a financial view point.
to hold the races on sunday; and
to that end they proposed that our
committee join with their finance
committee in an effort to secure
signatures, within one week, to
guarantee fund of s12.500 to guar
antee them against loss, and In that
event they would hold the races on
Friday the 4th instead of on Sun
day the 9Th.
During the ensuing discussion 1t
became very evident to us that our
only hope of preventing Sunday
races lay in an effort to raise this
We felt that one week was too
short a time and requested two
weeks BUT were refused the add
tional time. We deemed their prop
osition unnecessary and unfair; but
feeling that every possible effort
should be made to prevent the races
being held on Sunday, and, in order
that harmony might prevail, we
agreed to attempt. in conjunction
with the finance committee OF the
Carnical association, to raise the
guarantee desired; but on the con-
dition that should our efforts to
raise the said guarantee fund fail
and If the races were finally held
on Sunday, that our efforts to help
them raise the fund should in no
way prejudice our cause or prevent
our unalterable opposition to all
forms of Sabbath dissertation:
This condition being acceded to,
our committee Immediately went to
work with enthusiasm; and the
Joint efforts of both committees
produced more than one-third OF
the required amount. This consid-
ering the holidays, viz: Memorial
day and Sunday, the short time and
other adverse conditions encount-
cred, we felt to be a good showing.
We, Furthermore, felt that had the
'Festo committee" Immediately de-
cided, when We met with them last
wednesday night, May 2Sth, not to
hold the races on SUNDAY we coulo
within a reasonable time have sue
ceeded in raising the entire amount.
The experience gained in our
canvass of the business men of the
city, and the general approvaf OF
our ecort as expressed to us con-
vinces us more than over that we
were right when we said to the
"Festo committee" a week ago. in
written communication, that:
''In supporting the position that
the league has. taken, we believe
that the city of Tacoma represent
ed by the aCrnicai association com
mittee, should not allcsJ auto races
on Sunday. for the reason that all
citizens must be supporters of the
Association il Ii is to continue to
hold the esteem, pride and loyalty
OF its people. IL auto races are
scheduled on Sunday. a great per-
oentage OF our people will feel
themselves compelled to oppose the
plans for Sunday races"
This committee has at all times
endeavored to faithfully represent
the consensus OF opinion of the
Sunday Observance league and at
the same time be fair and just to
the Carnival association COMMITTEES
and to the public.
