ROTAN NEUTRAL ON SPORTS
Prosecutor Will Take No Part In
Sunday Athletics Case

District Attorney Rotan will take no
part in the dispute over Sunday sports
in Fairmount Park. His name appears
as counsel for the complainants in an
equity suit brought against the Fair
mount Park Commission by church so
ceties and individuals seeking an in
junction to stop the playing of outdoor
games in the park on Sundays. Mr..
Rotan explained today that, in order
to bring an action in the name of the
commonwealth Of Pennsylvania it is
necessary to secure either the permission
of the attorney general or his Office. In
view of the fact that the former Of
fcer did not believe that it was n
matter for him to handle, application
was made to Mr.. Rotan for permission
to use his Office in bringing the suit.
1t is right, Mr.. Rotan stated, that
the citizens have and he granted il
without hesitation. The office, how
ever, will not be represented when the
action is heard in Court of Common
Pleas No. 5.

in our military prisons here and also in
France"
II am amazed to find out how people
are absolutely Indifferent and don't
seem to care about matters that affect
the very foundations OF the country's
freedom" she said. "A protest from
responsible citizens must be forthcom
ing. and hope that the message OF
Senator France is as strong as II posi-
bly, can be.
I'VE seem to be at a stage In penal
government when we are almost as be-
nighted as before the prison reform
movement started. Just as present such
movements are hampered by the public
hysteria which sanctions the calling Of
any one who speaks against the existing
bans as red. One is considered
unpatriotic far daring to pronounce
against the return Of the old order.
New Order Arises
But a new order of things is spring
ing UP. It needs the getting together
and organization of people who, like
myself can justly be termed liberals,
but nof radicals. I want the same things
as many of the radicals, but / do not
indorse their revolutionary methods. We
want the liberty our democracy is sup
posed to guarantee us. We want to
use our powers as citizens, against
domination from hidden council cham,
bers.
She added that President Wilson g
projected tour on behalf of the league
tionaries in the country TO show their
hands. and that then would come an up
rising of the real sentiment of the ma :
ton, which might smother the stand
