Lid Put ON Sunday
Movies i'm Brooklyn
By Court Decision

A decision by Justice Louis l.. Faw-
cctt in the Supreme Court, in Brook
lyn, yesterday will, if carried into ef-
feet by the local authorities, close all
motion picture theatres on Sunday in
the I'd Judicial Department. This in
cludes Kings County, with Brooklyn,
and Coney Island, besides Queens,
Richmond. Westchester and Suffolk
counties and parts Of Nassau.
Justice Fawcett said last night that
the question was up to the District
Attorney and was hinged on very
large "if," but attorneys interested
said that the decision meant the cloa-
ing OF all movie shows in the depart
ment on Sunday, at least until the fall
term OF the Appellate Division"
The decision comes as direct con-
tradiction to decisions Of Supreme
Court Justice William j. Caynor i'm
1908, whica have been accepted as law
IN the "a Department until yeste rday.
yesterdays opinion was rendered in
the case Of Nathan Goldstein, owner
and operator Of the Palace Theatre, in
Patchogue, l.. L., who was arreste d
June 9 charged with violating Section
2l45 OF the Penal Law, dealing with
the repose OF communities on Sunday
Goldstein was held to the grand jury
by Justice of the Peace Coleman. He
sued out writ Of hebeas corpus,
which was argued yesterday before
Justice Fawcett.
Assistant District Attorney Hildrcth
of Suffolk County cited the decisions
Of the Sd and 4th Judicial districts to
the effect that motion picture shows
were violation of the Sunday law,
after which Justice Fawcett dismissed d
the writ.

To overcome the imposing difference
between the actual sales and the years
quota. the Limit Club is making an
enthusiastic membership drive. A
pledge to purchase 81 900 in stamps by
the end of the year is the sole mem
bership qualification. Three thousand
members have been obtained in this
city.
The aftermath of the recent drive
brings out some of the remarkable re-
suits achieved by various campaigning
units The Ethical Culture School, at
Sixty-third Street and Central Park

Anderson Opposes

Party Platforms
Anti-Saloon League Leader
Wants Candidates Free to
- Reflect Moral Sentiment

W. II. Anderson, state superintendent
o. the, Anti-Snloon League. said yester-
day that the league. instead Of in-
sisting that the leading parties
put straight prohibition plank in
their platforms for the governorship
campaign, would, on the contrary, in
aist that they do not do 50. MIR. An
derson predicted that prohibition
would be the overshadowing issue, and
added that the parties were at liberty,
so far as the league is concerned. to
support or ignore prohibition. Asked
why the league took this position, he
said:
"Both rs a matter Of Principle and
of practical wisdom, based on expert
ence, the Anti-S Saloon League is non
partisan, or, in the leagues own phrase
ology, omni-partisan, its constituency
Icing made up of representatives of
all parties and even those without any
special party affiliations. The league
deals with candidates and not with
parties as such. Prohibition is not
properly q partisan issue. If wet
plank should be put in The Republican
platform the candidates in the dry
counties upstate would Rave to make
dry pledges. If dry plank should be

"The AntiSaloon League is opposed
to platform declaration for two
reasons: (D 1t would noc help the
prohibition cause; (2) it would not
help the party that SO declared.
eve are not interested in any party
as such, but we are interested in pre-
venting any party from making mis-
take on the prohibition question whicl,
would hurt the prohibition cause as we'll
as itself. Wherever the Republican
party has tried to deal with the
question as a partisan issue it has
usually lost.
"a platform declaration on a ques-
ton of this kind would rot settle it
and therefore would be Useless, and
anything useless is foolish. The Anti
Saloon League does not want to carry
any of the burdens Of the Republican
rarty and there is no reason why the
Republican party should assume any
CT the troubles of the Anti-Saloon
League"

gcsted above, that we are voicing the
sentiment CT most or our Republican
colleagues
eve hardly need remind yon that
there is only one thing in which the
American people are now vitality inter-
ested, and that is winning the war.
The Republican party has much reason
to be proud Of the part its Senator'S
and Representatives in Congress have
taken in the war programme. And it
will be on his record on the war pro-
gramme tAat each individual member
of Congress seeking reelection will be
weighed and measured by the voters Of
his district. This is as it should be,
and will apply to Democrats as we'll as
Republicans.
with this situation confronting US,
it is obviously impossible, at least az
far as good sense and good taste are
concerned, for member of the House
whose war record is open to criticism
to occupy the position Of chairman Of
the Republican Congressional commit
tee in the present campaign. We do
not doubt your patriotism nor question
your motives in poting against the
declaration of war and other war meas
ures. but the fact remains that you did
vote against these measures, that your
records, therefore, presents these unde-
sirable clements which. when found in
other candidates, should, and in all
probability will, result in their defeat
in every district where American senti-
ment predominates, and that. in the
respect in question. you do not repre-
sent the great majority Of your Re-
publican colleagues in the House Of
Representatives. We repeat, therefore,
that the situation is an impossible one,
and respectfully call upon you to re-
sign as chairman Of The Republican
Congressional Committe without fur
ther delay.
"The fact that we are addressing
you jointly has no other significance
than that we have long been of one
mind on the subject discussed.
with assurances OF our continued
personal regard, we beg to remain.
Sincerely yours.
