PARK GAMES CASE
ARGUMENT HEARD
Supreme Court Will Decide
Churchman's Appeal on
Sunday Pastimes
TEST FOR COM NJ is 81 0 N

The State Supreme Court today
heard argument and reserved decision
on an appeal by group of churches ard
Sabbatarian associations against the Or
der permitting games in Fairmount Park
on Sundays.
The order was made by the Fairmount
Park Commission. A suit in equity was
filed in Common Pleas Court No. 3
asking that the commission be enjoined
from permitting baseball ard other
games in the Park.
When Judge Stake refused to grant
the injunction. an appeal was carried to
the Supreme Court.
Elton L. Buckley argued today on
behalf Of the Philadelphia Sabbath As-
sOciation and other complainants and
represented by George Wharton Pepper.
Mr.. Buckley maintained that the
suit was not aimed at the playing of
games. but at the Park Commission S
right to permit games on Sunday.
Mr.. Pepper reasoned that the games
were not a violation either of the
letter or the spirit Of the so-called
''blue laws unless they became a
nuisance. constituted breach of the
peace or violated the rights of others.
Referring TO the appeal of Clement
II. Congdon, fined for playing ball on
Sunday in the park as test case,
and now pending before the Superior
Court, Mr.. Pepper stated that if Mr..
Congdon's. fine were nupheld by that
court that Mr.. Pepper would advise the
Park Commission to rescnd its order
permitting games on Sunday.

DETECTIVES BEAT
HIM, MAN CHARGES
Joseph Gilbert, Former Patrol
man, Testifies He Was Bru-
tally Treated in Arrest
CAPT. MILLS MAKES NOTES

Two detectives from Central station
we're accused today of beating Joseph
Gilbert. a former patrOiman. of rs
North Eleventh street. after they had
placed him under arrest. Gilbert. who
is fifty years old. made the charge
when hn was taken before Magistrate
Mecleary in Central Station. accused
of resisting arrest aud attempting to
kill the detectives.
Gilbert said that he was in his home
early Sunday morning when two men
entered. He thought they were rob
bers. he continued. and snapped his
revolver at them twice. but the weapon
missed fire each time. Then. still be-
lipving that the men were robbers. he
jumped out of second story window
onto shed and made his way to the
police station at Tenth and Button
wood streets.
There, he said he learned that the
men were Acting Detectives Wcist and
Stocker. He returned to the house and
surrendered.
After he had surrendered. he said,
the detectives attacked and beat him.
He exhibited his bloodstained garments
in proof of his charge.
II was on the police force for nine
years" he told Magistrate Mecleary
but never beat up prisoner in that
way and | never knew of man being
attacked and beaten in his own house.
Captain Mills was present at the
hearing and made notes of the testi-
mony.
! Magistrate Meclcary held Gilbert for
further examination.
The story told by the detectives was
that as they passed Gilberts house they
saw a man who, they thought was
wanted by the police. They entered
/ the house and knocked on the door Of
the room occupied by Gilbert They
said that Gilbert opened the door and
denied that they had used more force
than was necessary in making the ar
rest.
