tanned without cost from the power
company sufficient current for it's own
needs and sold a sufficient amount to
net ii d profit of approximately S3',ooO
was the big feature of the investigation
which the commission will take INTO
account in reaching Il decision as to
whether any action changing the rela-
lions of the companies is called for.

the commission Will not go so Tar at
this time as to attempt to bring about
cheaper rates for private consumers. III
it takes any action at all, it Will be IN
the direction of requiring the railway
company to make more adequate re-

hand of Mr.. GRADER, and before lie

AMEND REGULATIONS
FOR THE SUNDAY SHOWS
Action Taken by the Commission
eTs to Make the Instructions
Definite.

| Because of the rather uncertain re-
ouiremcnts of the police regulation re-
garding Sunday entertainments. the
Commissioners today adopted an
amended order dealing with this sub
ject-one which gives proprietors and
the police alike very definite instruc-
tons as to what character of enter
tainments will be permitted in Wash
ington hereafter on the Sabbath.
Under the new rule costumes and
changes of scenery are barred as under
the old. but there is nothing said to
prevent the staging of vaudeville
performance If these restrictions are
observed. In fact, the amended order
says nothing against dancing, and it is
understood that this form of entertain
ment can be included in Il Sunday
vaudeville program, provided, Of course,
costumes are not worn. The old regu-
lation prohibited dancing.
Uncertainty Develops.
Following the recent announcement
by the Commissioners that the Sunday
entertainment law was to be rigldly
enforced, considerable uncertainty de-
veloped as to the exact requirements of
the law. One Interpretation was that
vaudeville performances were entirely
barred and only concerts, lectures and
The Commissioners decided that the
best way to straighten out the sltua.
ton, so that the real purposes BACK OF
the regulation could be achieved, would
be to adopt Il new regulation which
would leave no doubt to the char
acter of Sunday entertainments that
we're to be permitted. They accord
ingly adopted an amendment to the
regulation, to take effect Immediately.
Text of New Regulation.
The new section is as follows:
"No owner, proprietor. lessee. tenant or
other person shall. on the first day of
the week, commonly called Sunday, in
any theater or public place of amuse-
ment, advertise, permit. allow or take
part in any public exhibition of any
game or gymnastics for which an ad-
mission fee is charged, rectly or
indirectly; or any public exhi-
bition of any play. opera. circus Vauae-
willie or buriesque show. III Whlcn
character costumes or costumes other
than conventional costumes are worn,
or in which change or shifting OF seen
cry is made: provided, that nothing
herein contained shall prevent the eN-
hibition of moving pictures. or the CIV
ing of concerts, vocal and instrumental
recitals, lectures and speeches: provid-
ed further, that nothing herein con-
tanned shall be held or construed to
change, abrogate or annul the re2uia-
lions in force for the protection of the
public decency, all of which shall be APP
plicable to the performances allowed
under the terms of this regulation"
1t is announced that enforcement Of
the regulation will begin next Sunday.
