Jews WILL FIGHT
SUNDAY CLOSING

PETERSBURG, VA, Jan. 2s.--It is
understood that In the event that the
Sunday closing ordinance. passed by
the city council and vetoed by Mayor
Cahaniss recently. is passed over the
mayors veto, or an ordinance is
adopted preventing the opening OF
Sunday stores by Jewish merchants.
that the latter will test the constitu-
tionality of the ordinance in the court
II was stated by a prominent at
torney today that ne knew of only one
case in which the courts had decided
in favor of Sunday closing by Jew
stores. and that was In Massachu-
sets. He did not know that the ordi-
nance or law was similar to the Pc
tersburg ordinance.
The question is destined to prove
interesting. 1t is contended by those
supporting the ordinance that 1t in
no wise interferes with the religious
liberties OF the Jews.
The ordinance does not say that
they shall keep open on Saturday. but
says that they shall not prosecute
their business on Sunday, the Chris
tan Sabbath

panic. He said he did not propose
to let them drive him. He said there
was no man in range of his voice but
know that the bill was an emergency
bill, and few who hadn't promised
relief to their constituents. He raked
the lobby that promulgated the
scheme. declaring that every infiu-
ence had been brought to bear; that
he knew of one member who had re-
ceived forty kilograms and letters
urging its passage.
Lobby Charge Made.
In reply to. Mr.. Weaver's insinua-
ton that someone was using his In
fiuence. he said he was not afraid to
call names. That 1t had been whis-
pered around that Governor-elect
Stuart had used his influence to de-
feat its passage. He said that he was
not being governed by the governor
elect, but that he would rather fol-
low the counsel OF Henry c. Stuart
than be guided by the bankers of
Richmond, who were advocating its
passage.
The house adjourned, carrying the
fight over until this morning.
The house began it's morning ses-
sion at IL o'clock. The invocation
was made by Rev. Mr.. Winn. of Bar
ton Heights. The clerk of the house
reported a message from the senate
stating that Senator Thornton's bill,
directing the return of the Martha
Washington will to the Fairfax coun-
ty courthouse. had been passed.. and
sent to the house, and that IL had
been referred to the committee on
courts of justice.
Many house bills were placed on
the calendar.
With the perfunctory business at
an end, a storm If protest was made
against the utterances of DR.. Livius
Landlord, of Norfolk, before the Anti
Saloon league.

timent OF this house that 1t commends
the action OF all who have the cour-
right and proper"
Mr.. Weaver. of Warren also an adj
vocate of the bill. introduced a sub
stitute resolution. declaring that he
wanted DR.. Landlord to receive the
full sting. His resolution follows:
BE 1t resolved. That the house of
delegates condemns as unwarranted,
unjustified and fnexcusable the attack
OF IAvtus Landlord upon the mem
bers OF the house who voted against
the enabling aSt, ~ reported in this
mornings edition of the Times-Dis-
patch"
Even after the resolutions had been
taken to the clerks desk, the speeches
continued. Mr.. Myers. of the city of
Richmond. declared that after he had
voted for tho bill he had talked to
some Of his best friends. who were
strong advocates Of the bill and MEM
bers OF the Anti-Saloon league. and
he had told them he did what he
thought was right, and nothing was
said against him. The man who spoke
such words as DR.. Landlord had let
fall was beneath the notice OF any
man: that he left trail of venom
behind him like the trail of a snake.
He said he hoped those who ha~ ad-
vocated the measure would pass the
resolution unanimously.
He was followed by Messrs. Chalk
ley, OF Wise. Robertson. CT Northamp-
ton. and HiIl Montague. of the city
Of Richmond.
Mr.. Oliver, OF Fairfax, leader in
the fight on the passage of the enab-
ling act, was the last to denounce the
doctor. Trembling with anger. he
said that any man who would bring
such charges was more than a wretch.
That had Landlords remarks been
confined to himself he would have
said nothing. but he said. the charges
were made against his father. now
asleep on a hilltop in old Fairfax.
to whom he referred as a prince OF
men. And anything that reflect on.

falsehood.' The resolutions were
adopted almost by reclamation.

He defended his action to reconsider
by saying the bankers had advertised
and begged that unless the bill was
passed as emergency act 1t would do
no good. as 1t was necessary to have

the clause stricken out, II would mere

declared. land ask you now to stand

Mr.. White said that In striking out
the emergency act, the advocates Of
the bill were inconsistent; that the
emergency as presented by the bank

for being bill at all.

said that in view of certain influences

house. the bill as an emergency act
would not be passed and that while
he would call no names. he declared
he wanted the defeat of his bill placed

Many questions were hurled at the
