SUNDAY SHOWS DENorNcED

NEW York, Dec. 1s.-The Lords
Day Alliance, IN a statement issued
yesterday denounced plans for open
ing Broadway theatres Sunday
night New Years Eve. as viola
ton Of Sabbath statutes. The state
ment characterized as "camoufiage"
an announcement that the perform
ances. would be given for the bene-
nj OF the Actors Fund OF America.
The statement said in part: The
opening OF the theatres on Sunday
would be a violation OF the Sunday
laws. 1t Is not in the real sense Of
the word a charity benefit but a
move to enrich the pockets of the
theatre owners. 1t appears very
clear that whatever the professions
to the contrary may be. this could
easily become an entering wedge to
regular Sunday performances.

BENEDICT XIV

Bell sacrosanct, sublimely toll
To mark the passing of soul
Who strove that war from earth
might cease,
And usher in a worldwide peace.
Drone out thy toll in requiem mass,
Intoned for what must come b pass;
Thy moan sounds out no funeral
knell,
But paeans raised to loftier swell
Mid softer tones through half ops
door
That filter from the Evermore-
The Evermore beyond the pale
That marks the line where flesh must
fail
Thy mission, more than mete Of
might,
Thy inter ruling peaceful right
Who lived, Holy Church, his bride,
Lives with his Lord, the Crucified.

ESPEE employees LET IN ON
COMPANY STOCK

Agent Runge of FL Centre has re-
ceived notice that employees of the
Southern Pacific company and. the
companies whose lines form part of
the system, including the San Diego
& Arizona railway, will have oppor-
tunity, beginning February 1, to own
capital stock in the company, accord
ing to an announcement issued yes
terday by William Sproule, president.
The shares, according to the plan,
would be bought through the com
papy's treasurer for any employe and
the price repaid by the employe at
the rate Of SIS a month. No em ploye
would be allowed to buy more than
Is shares at any one time, but would
be permitted, after having paid for
one allotment of stock, to purchase
another. The stock would be bought
at the market price and the pur:ha5-
ing employe paying in installments
for the stock, would be charged
per cent interest. The statement points
out, however, that since the stock
has paid dividends since 1907 at
about the rate Of Z l-2 per cent, the
charge for interest would she more
than offset.
The plan will go into effect, accord
ing to the announcement, on Feb. l..
Employees will make application for
the shares they want on forms pro-
vided by the company, and the appli-
cations will be forwarded through
regular channels, in each case, by
the immediate employing officer.
