9TH DAY ADVENTISTS
SCORE 'BLUELAW" CULT

Render unto Caesar the things
which are Caesars, and unto God
the things that are Gods" is the
oninion of proposed Sunday blue
laws. as expressed in memorial
today adopted by the general con-
ference committee of Seventh day
Adventists in this .Yty protesting
against all enforced Sabbath OBJ
servance whether 1t be the seventh
cay which this sect observes or some
other day.
The memorial in brief takes the
position that, We are Christians
and believe in the total separation OF
the church and the State, Sabbath
keeping is not n civil but a religious
duty In the realm of religion the
state has no constitutional au-
thority. We are LETT free to believe
or not believe; to worship any God
or no God; to observe a Sabbath or
not observe 1t. as conscience may
dictate.
Honest labor Is no more uncivil
on Sunday than on Monday 1t IL
only religion, prcjudices which are
disturbed by labor on this day more
than on other days. Bolstcring OF
some particular theological dogma,
and protecting the religious preju-
diccs OF citizens Is not the business

URGESCHANGE
IN RENT LAWS
assistant U. S. Attorney will Ask
Congress for Amendments to
Aid D. C. Tenants.

Henry II. Classic, Assistant United
States Attorney, this morning COM
pleted a draft OF new system OF
procedure In landlord and tenant
cases, which he proposed to present
to Congress as an amendment TO
the District code for the purpose OF
eliminating from section 20 OF the
code the short clause which consti-
tutes the sole authority for the sum
mary recovery Of possession Of
property.
CHANGE FAvORs TENANTS.
The amendments. which would be
exceedingly favorable to the tenant,
provide:
Ten days grace, excluding Sundays
and legal holidays after notice in
writing FOR the payment OF rent in
arrears before the landlord can evict
the tenant in cases OF default in the
payment fan agreed rent unless 4
fair and reasonable rental Tor the
premises shall have been fixed by the
District Rent Commission.
a like number OF days Is given Il
tenar, to pay his rental where L. fail
amount has been set by the commits
sion.
In the case of a breach OF a condi-
ton Of lease a tenant would have
twenty days time in which to make
amends.
Ninety days notice would be re-
quired of the landlord to gain pos
session OF his porperty at the expira-
ton OF definite time OF lease.
REASONS FOR CHANGE
a like number of days is stipulated
in the case OF monthly or short time
tenants.
According to Mr.. Classic, this pro-
posed alteration TO the code proceeds
upon the view that $50 wide and i'm
portant a jurisdiction should not rest
upon a brief clause inturpolated in a
law primarily concerned with to-
tally different legal relation. The In
cidents Of the landlord and tenant
relation are plainly conceived a.
forming no proper part OF the iaw
Of forcible entry and detainer."

and She Is Only Bruised

Anna Cunningham, nine years old,
tripped and fell over the edge of the
Myrtle Avenue platform on the Broad

day, just as a train was pulling into
the station. She struck the outer edge
ing train and plunged thirty-fve feet
to the street. Her fall was broken by
an electric wire. She was only slight
ly hurt.
