OPPOSE BARRIERS PLEA
FOR SUNDAY CLOSING
Several District Residents Be-
fore Commissioners, Who
Reserve Decision.

Opposition to the petition of 200 bar
bers requesting the Commissioners to
present to Congress bin for the closing
of all barber shops in the District of
Columbia on Sundays was expressed at
a hearing before the District heads today
by representatives of general and Dis
trict Of Columbia conferences of Seventh
day Adventists. the Secular League and
prcprietors of barber shops.
Prof W. w. Prescott, secretary of
the International Religious Liberty
Association; Elder G. B. Thompson.

ligious secretary of the District con-
ference. appeared on behalf of the
Adventists.
The washington Secular League was
represented by John ID. Bradley. Others
who spoke included A. c. Luber pro-
Sauer
Might Hurt Business.
Mr.. Luber gave his frank opinion that
a Sunday closing law would hurt the
barber business. When a customer has
learned to shave himself on Sunday. said
Mr. Luber, he may come to the con-
cIusion that it would be just as easy for
him to shave Monday and the other
DAYS of the week.
Prof Prescott characterized the pro-
posed law as ''un-American, un-Christian
and an interference with individual lib
erty." He said it would be class legisla-
ton, inasmuch as it would interfere with
the rights Of BARRIERS and leave men OF
other vocations free.
VI the government Is going to recognize
the appeal OF these BARRIERS to have all
barber shops closed Sunday to be just

must also recognize the appeal of the
Mohammedan BARRIERS to have all shops
closed Friday. and the Sabbatarians de-
such petitions are presented.
Elder Thompson's Views.
Elder Thompson declared that the
province of the government is to regu-
late the civil and not the religious con-
duct of its citizens. Sunday legisla-
ton makes that which is right and prom
err on other days OF the week a crime
Sunday" he said.
Mr.. Bradley explained the purposes
of the Washington Secular League and
some of the principles for which 1t
stands. He presented to the Com
missioners copy of resolution
adopted by the league, which requests
that they refuse to take favorable az
ton on the petition for q Sunday clos
ing of barber shops. The Commits
sioners have reserved decision in the
matter.

Senator Pomerene Likely to
Introduce Resolution Calling
for Investigation.

A resolution asking for an investigation
Of the civil service probably will be laid
before the Senate before long by Senator
Pomerene of Ohio. Senator POmerene is
chairman of the civil service committee

More than two weeks ago Senator Over
man Of North Carolina stirred up the

comprehensive report upon the civil serv-
ice laws and regulations; the persons en-
ployed in the civil service, whether they
were covered into the service by execu-
tive order or entered the service through
examination; the. number of persons in
the service from each state and territory
and the District of Columbia.
1t was referred to the committee OF
which Senator Pomerene is chairman.

RaatIme Has a Defender.

Ragtime is not as bad as some peo
pie would make 1t appear. according to
Victor Schertzinger, a violinist, re
marks the Los Angeles Evening Her
aid.
There has lately gone up a great
hue and cry against so-called ragtime
in cafes and hotels as well as in 9TH
err places" he said. Personally, / be-
lieve there Is much to be gained from
ragtime.
"A composer must hearken to the
call of the public If he wants to make
livelihood. And there is no deny
ing the fact that there is real de-
mand for popular melodies.
"A Bach fugue may be artistically
ideal, but 1t does not produce bread
and butter. Take Victor Herbert's
Natoma,' for instance. 1t is one of
the most beautiful operas extant, but
1t is not financial success. The rea-
son is that the general public is not
educated musically to appreciate that
class of music. Educate the public
gradually and then the better, the
nobler musical works will be the popu-
lar music.
Victor Herbert's reputation is not
based on classical music. His great

PRUSSIA TO TAX BACHELORS
All Getting $3.50 q Year Up VIII Be
Specially Assessed for Remain
Ing Single.


Berlin.-The Prussian diet Ia now
giving it's formal Official consideration
to project for taxing bachelors. The
original bill has been amended SO as
to make the tax effective only In the
case OF unmarried men whose income
exceeds $3.50 year.
Such men will be called upon In
case the bill passes to pay tax OF
from ten TO twenty per cent higher
than married men with correspond.
ing incomes
The bachelor tax will take the form
OF an income sur-tax. The Idea OF the
legislators who are backing the bill Is
that men who have have to support
wives or children ought not. in Jus
tice, be compelled to pay as much to-
ward the support OF the state as men
who are leading the care-free. ire
sponsible lives of bachelors.
The project is fathered by the con-
servatives Of the diet and has every
prospect OF becoming a law.
