BLUE LAW SUNDAY ORDINANCE COMES UP NEXT TUESDAY
Wards Veto and Barber's Opposition May Put An End to the Question
 for Present

Renewed agitation for the "blue law Sunday will bring the matter to head at next Tuesdays meeting of the city commission when the Weatherly ordi- nance will be introduced.
 This was announced as official yester- day by the city commission.
 Whether the ordinance will muster enough votes for passage at this time is a matter of considerable conjecture, although from the positive stand of Com missioners Ward and Barber against the opening of the Sunday observance fight, some virile opposition against the ordi- nance can be anticipated.
 Commissioner Hornady stated yesterday afternoon that he would solve the en- tire difficulty by offering resolution that the city build or lease motion picture theatre and operate Sunday free to the general public
 Tt is charged that the whole ordinance of Sunday observance is directed at Sun day moving pictures said Commissioner Hornady and it is quite possible that it is However, I have suggestion to offer. I will offer resolution that the commission build or lease a motion picture theatre ana OIIeT moving plCluIcS SNOAy Sunday free to the public. do not believe that there is any objection to free moving pictures.
 And as we get more money in the treasury intend to build free municipal baths, athletic fields and all manner of municipal social service. I take my jot seriously, and intend to render full service to all. In fact, intend to do so much that I probably will not have time to talk about it in the newspapers.
 Another interesting feature about the Weatherly ordinance is that if it should pass 1t will probably bring forth the first veto of President Ward.
 Under the five-commissioner plan il should be remembered that Commissioner Ward has the veto power on all measures and that it takes four votes to override the disapproval of the president of the board. This cannot be done on the Weatherly ordinance as Commissioner Barber is certain to vote against the pro- posed "blue law Sunday.
 Another feature of the matter is that all the moving picture theatres of the city have paid a heavy state license to operate on Sunday. This license amounts to $33S and the state gives specific rights to the motion picture theatres to operate upon the payment of such license. Under the Weatherly ordinance all Sunday shows would stop, and the theatre managers would lose the state license they have paid, provided the city was not enjoined by the courts from placing the ordinance in operation.

Handley Memorial Church To Be Opened On Sunday
 With Hymn of Praise
By MRS. SIDNEY M. ULLMAN

On Sunday afternoon at p. m. the new Handley Memorial church. corner Twenty fifth street and Thirteenth avenue, north, wiz be opened with special musical ser vices, appropriately selected from the choral works of Mendessohn.
 His beautiful symphonic oratorio, Hymn of Praise" or "Lobgesang," as it is called in the original German, was itself dedicatory production to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the invention of printing. and is symbolic dedication of enlightenment and victory.
 This work was given twice in Birming- ham by the Mendelssohn society, about 1892 or 1893. under that most excellent di- rector and musician, Professor Burbank, with a chorus of about 40 voices, selected from the best singers in the city.
 The work Is justly considered very noble and finished production of the past master of choral composition. Felix Men, delssohn.

The real musical sensation in

close of the Chautauqua season this
band went back to the exposition
tuntil the close 1t is said that Tha-
viu and John Phillip Sousa received
greater honors than any other band
masters at the fair. We will have
the sam band back over the Chau-

different, however, even better than
the ones last year. TIL band is en-

Finally, in our musical offerings
we want to call particular atten-
ton to the Haydn Chorus, a splen-
did organization of a dozen voices
under the direction of Roland r,
Witte, late of New York, real choir
master and concert director. With
this company we will have real
singing that fills the heart and ex-

choruses, selections from big ora
torios, as we'll as the old familiar
songs people know and love so we'll.

careful. We are not going TO en-
gage in any undertaking or sensa-

lofty in thought and sincere in pur-
