Dent Harding will send to Congress a

The exact date Of submittal Of the

proponent Of the bill, occupied the floor
q large part of the time. reading into
the record accounts Of the recent pro-

gument that the cost Of the bonus was
not to be advanced on a valid objec-

BY the House Rules Committee over
solid Democratic opposition. separate
votes, and amendments can be had on
hye schedules of the permanent thia

The rule will be presented in the House
Monday and Chairman Campbell said
there would be ample time for discus

Mr.. Forney then refers to published
statements of Superintendent Mills
THAT large majority Of people wanted
Sunday sports. but that the law must
be enforced, and, further. that it was
q question how far the police could go
In breaking up Sunday baseball He
further stated that the police would not
break up the games. but would have
men stationed at every game to collect
evidence, and on the following day have
the managers Of the teams who violated
the law arrested and fined. In a sub
sequent statement he Mills is reported
TO have said there Is nothing In the
Sunday law to prevent Sunday base
ball"
Mr.. Forney cites a Superior Court
decision that the Act Of 1894 forbade
Sunday baseball.
."The position of Superintendent
Mills" continues Mr.. Forney, "in
the police to prevent Sunday baseball
games, is illogical, especially when we
consider that you promised TO prevent
such games, and also that orders were
not only issued by the Police Depart
ment to carry out this promise. but
on several occasions the police did In
terfere and break up commercialized
games. We cannot believe that the
present Administration could be so mis-
taken in its Interpretation of its power
as to make public promises which would
exceed the actual powers vested In 1t. v
Tells Mills What to Do
Mr.. Forney says that the right inter
pretation of the paragraph of the Blue
Law which provides for the punishment
Of the vioators, would be for Super =
intendent Mills to arrest and fine not
only the managers, but every one con =
cerned in the games.
IF the cases are to be dealt with as
prescribed by law" he writes. every
player and all those taking part In the
games must be arrested and dealt with
the same as the managers.
IF the present method Of the Police
Department in handling these cases
continues. commercialized sports and
all other forms Of commercialized
amusements will follow as natural
result and Philadelphia will soon lose
the peaceful. quiet, orderly Sabbath for
which 1t has 80 long been dis
tinguished.
