MERCER GRAND JURY ACTS
IN TRENTON MOVIE WAR

TRENTON, Sept. 9.-The formal
demand of Sheriff Walter Firth upon
Chief of Police William Dettmar that
the local police be directed to aid
the sheriff in keeping the theatres
closed next Sunday, and the m
that If Commissioner of Public Safe
ty George B. Labarre persists in re-
fusing to permit the police depart
ment to act. he may be cited before
the grand jury on a charge of mis-
f~easance in office, are the latest sem
sational developments in the Sunday
movie war. The theatrical managers
declare they will give performances
Sunday. Sheriff Firth is just as firm
in his contention that the law will
be enforced.
The action of the sheriff in calling
on the police department. to aid is
based upon an opinion given him by
Peter Backes,. who has been added
to the list of counsel of the Trenton
Inter-Church Federation which Is
leading the fight against the Sunday
theatricals.
You are the chief of police of the
city of Trenton" said the sheriff in
his letter to Chief Dettmar. land in
that capacity one of the state officials
charged with the duty of enforcing
the law, and you have at your COM
mand a force of officers ample and
adequate to cope with any such con-
templated violation of law"
II do not occupy such a favorable
position but, in such circumstances,
I am obliged to rely upon such depu-
ties as l may be able to assemble on
short notice. which puts me at a dis
advantage and also, as it seems to
me, will subject the taxpayers OF
the county to unnecessary expense.
II am therefore. notifying you that
I believe the law Is to be violated
and l call upon you as a state Off
cial to use the police forces at your
disposal to prevent the violation by
virtue of the power vested In you.
and emphasize particularly the de-
STABILITY of preventing any violation
of the law rather than to permit 1t
to proceed and then rely merely upon
the paltry and inadequate penalties
which might subsequently be m
posed"
Chief Dettmar declares that he
cannot order the Trenton police to
act under the sheriff's orders. He
says:
II am subject to the instructions
of my superior officer. Commissioners
LaBarre, and no matter what ones
personal views might be on the sub
iect. n must obey orders. I shall,
however send a detail of officers to
the theatres next Sunday if they are
open. to see that no disorder occurs"

1.-The Advantage
of a Handicap"

You didn't know there was such a
thing, did youg It sounds impossible,
but that is what Mr.. Elliott A. Boyl,
the lecturer of the opening night at
Chautauqua, will explain. And he will
explain it in such a way that if you
haven't a handicap you will wish you
had one on account of the advantages
it would bring to you.
Newspaper reports in other towns
paint a glowing picture of Mr.. Boyl's
ability as an orator. They say his
wit is incisive, his word painting
most colorful, and his common sense
diagnosis of his subject extremely
helpful to his auditors.
Not the least attractive character.
istic of Mr.. Boyl's lecture is his col
lection of really new humorous
stories, and he tells them with that
ability which marks a born story
teller; and Mr.. Boyl's stories, humor-
Gus in themselves, aptly illustrate the
points of his lecture.
He will open a week Of strong
lectures.
