Anderson Sees
Dl'ys' Support
OF Blue Laws
Declares Members of Anti
Saloon League May Join
Crusade If Wet Forces
Continue Their, Attacks
Clergymen Are Divided
Two Priests and Rabbis
Assail Proposal for a
Closed Sabbatl. Day

William H. Anderson. state SNperin-
tendens Of the Anti-Saloon League OF
New York, in 4 statement issued yes
terday broadly intimated that the mem
hers Of the Anti-Saloon League might
line up with the forces now demanding
Sunday blue laws.
Anderson made it plain that so far
the AntiSaloon League has been con-
cerned only in the enforcement OF pro-
hibition, bat he warned that III those
influences which opposed prohibition
with all their power continue TO make
fuss enough about the Sunday ques-
ton they may create situation where
even those friends OF prob ibition who
are yet not interested III Sunday laws
will become interested on the principle
that anything which is sufficiently op-
posed by those who took the immoral
end oi the prohibition question must
be d good thing merely because OF the
character Of It's opponents" He added:
individuals May Aid Crusade
while the Anti-Saloon League will
not swcrve a hairs breadth from its
policy OF attending only to prohibition
Problems We recognize the possibility
,hat undue persistence in the unwsr-
ranted effort 10 tic the Anti-Saloon
League up to the Sunday law crusade
may result IN convincing many sup
porters of the Anti-Saloon League, as
individuals, that the opponents OF ra-
tionai Sunday observance must see
some connection between that and the
enforcement 0f prohibition, and thus
lead . large number Of supporters Of
restrictive Sunday Legislation on gen.
eral principles, on the basis of taking
no chances
Anderson asserts that of it shall
finally transpire that 8 large proper
ion Of the constituency Of the Anti
saloon League lines up with an ad-
vanced Sunday program, the opponents
Of prohibition will be largely to blame "
While 4 canvass of cIergymen in
Brooklyn yesterday showed that Prot
es5ant members were divided in their
views on the proposed Sunday laws.
Two Jewish 1abbis and two we'll known
complete accord IN their positive op-
position % the proposal for a closed
Sunday.
Called Pure Fanaticism
The Rev John L. Bedford, Of the
Church Of the Nativity, declared that
thc campaign was the product Of pure
fsnaticism, while Mgr +. ". McCarty,
OF s. Augustine's Church. said there
vas no Christianity in q Sunday blue
law. Rabbi j. II. Levinthal, of the
Brooklyn Jewish Center. said the Lord
never intended morbid celebration Of
the Sabbath, while Rabbi Alexander
Lyon, of the Eighth Avenue Temple.
said "American common sense would
not stand for such absurd Puritanism.'
4 dispatch from Atlantic City yes
-erday quoted Bishop Joseph F. Berry,
presiding officer Of the board OF bishops
Of the Methodist Episcopal Church. in
session there. as asserting that extreme
measures for Sabbath observance would
more likely retard than help the attain
ment of the proper obssr> stion of the
first day of the week
II doubt very much" the Bishop said,
whether Congress will attempt to reg
ulate the observance of Sunday by stat
ute"

WOODS HOLE TOO NOISY
FOR PRESIDENT WILSON
He Cancels Plans to Go There and
White House Men Look
Elsewhere.

Whit2 House officials today were
considering possible sites for sum
mer headquarters, principal require
nents being that the location must
both afford opportunities for com
plete rest for President Wilson and
adequate accommodation for the large
s'dn winch must accompany him.
Elimination of the estate of Charles
n. crane. minister to China, at Woods
Hole. Mass. as the summer White
House followed reports of investi-
gators that it lacked these features
and also that it would not assure
complete privacy for the President
owing 10 the proximity of the streets
of the village.
IT also developed that the Crane
mansion is close to railway track
where many trains pass day and
night: that there are several auto
matte fog signals in the waters of
vineyard sound close to the shore.
When these considerations were laid
before the President. il was said. he
reluctantly abandoned his plan to go
to Woods Hole and regretted that
Mr.. Cranes offer had been accepted
before all the physical considerations
which his aids feel are important
were investigated.
1t has not been decided. in view of
the changed plan, where the President
will go. but several offers are before
him. The White House executive
force wants TO choose a place where
the physical arrangements are as
much the same as in Washington as
may be possible.

Must Cut Down Taxes.
SAYS Gov. LoWder

CHICAGO. April 13.-The question
of the high cost of living will not be
solved until taxes are reduced, Gov.
Frank O. Lowden of Illinois said in
an address at the Hamilton Club on

There. is no genius. no statesman.
anywhere. who can devise any system
of taxation by which one body and

Gov. Lowden said. They diffuSe
themselves through all classes of the
community.
Let US get back to sanity, to
economy; let us get away from this
orgy of spending, in which we have
INDUCED 50 long. The influence of a
sane. economic, well ordered. eff
cient, responsible government at
Washington will reach into the hum
blest corner of this land and bring
about sane and rational conditions
