OPEN SUNDAY
PASSES FIRST
READING HERE
City Council Takes Action
After Endorsement by
so Citizens
NONE OF COMMISSION
DEFINITELY LINED UP

Hendersonville turned its at
tention over the weekend to the
definite possibility of having Sun
day movies and baseball as the
result of action of the board of
city commissioners in passing on
first reading an ordinance au-
thorizing these amusements dur
ing stated hours.
The bill will be given second
reading early this week, probably
Tuesday afternoon or evening,
and may become law before the
week is out. Organized oppose
ton to the movement, which had
it's inception directly in enact
ment of a similar ordinance in
Asheville, had not developed here
this morning, but it was indicat-
ed that vigorous protest will be
lodged with council before final
vote on the ordinance is taken.
The Sunday amusement bill
came before council late Satur-
day afternoon after a meeting
of about so citizens at the city
hall had adopted a resolution
favoring the liberalizing of Sum-
day "blue laws" and had then
presented petition to council
asking that the ordinance be en-
acted. Present at the council
meeting and voting for passage
of the bill on first reading were
Commissioners w. M. Sherard,
DR.. w. o. Allen, J. H. Riggan
and B. L. Foster. The fifth COM
missioner, L. R. Geiger, was not
present at the meeting, and he
has not yet announced his atti-
tude toward the ordinance.
Mayor A. V. Edwards said to-
day that it clearly was the in
tent of the board to pass the
ordinance provided it finally APP
pears that public sentiment
strongly favors such action. While
a majority of commissioners are
believed personally to favor Sun
day amusements. none is known
to have definitely committed HIM
self on how he will vote on the
second and third readings of the
bill.
The ordinance, as passed on the
first reading, provides that mo-
ton pictures may be shown here
between the hours of l and z
o'clock Sunday afternoons and
from 8 to II o'clock Sunday
nights. Baseball would be per-
mitted Sunday afternoons.
Besides requesting that an or
dinance permitting Sunday amuse-
ments be passed, the mass meet
ing Saturday afternoon author
lied Milo w. Strong, chairman,
to appoint committee to set up
a plan of organization for a new
group probably to be known as
"Believers in Hendersonville" and
whose detectives would be to pro-
mote movements believed to be
in the best interests of Hender-
sonville as a resort city. The or
ganization would work in close
harmony, with the Chamber of
Commerce. Report of the COM
mittee will be made at a called
meeting which probably will be
held on Tuesday night of next
week. =.
The SO or more who attended
the mass meeting apparently
were of one mind on the question

WASHINGTON, April %. CUP:
President Roosevelt faces vital
tests of strength this week with
organized congressional minori-
, ties attempting to force action
on inflationary measures, silver
legislation and the 30-hour work
week.
The chief executives attitude
toward silver failed to satisfy the
majority of western senators who
reviewed all phases Of the prob
lem at the White House on Sat-
urday.
Senator Elmer Thomas, D.
Okla, summoned 80 senators who
are interested in silver and other
monetary proposals to meet al 10
a. m. today when Mr.. Roose 'elt's
position will be explained and a
plan of action adopted. The COM
mittee which conferred with the
president met and prepared its
report and recommendations to
the large group.
The United Press learned that
most of the silver senator's still
favor mandatory legislation, al
though Mr.. Roosevelt made it
plain at his conference that he
would not consider such action
and preferred instead purely per-
missive measures. The president
told the conferees he wanted to
keep a free hand over his none
tary program and that this would
be impossible if congress forced
him to follow definite policy
on silver.
Administration leaders, how
ever, were not as concerned about

gaining momentum in the house.

block supporting the Mcleod bill,
which calls upon the government

Proponents of the Frazicr-Lc-
nike bill which would authorize
the government to issue green
backs to refinance farm mort
cages, said they would make
new effort during the week to
get sufficient signatures to a pc
tition to force the measure out
of committee and onto he floor
for action.
President Roosevelt and his
fiscal leaders have thrown their
full opposition against both Of

r INCOLN, Nebr., December IS
Roy Link" Lyman, one of the
greatest linemen ever to wear
the University of Nebraska colors and
an outstanding tackle in professional
foot ball ranks, has been signed as
an assistant foot ball coach at the
Cornhusker institution, D. X. Bible,
athletic director, announced tonight.
Lyman, who will assist in coaching
Nebraska linemen, will joint the Corn
huskers during Spring practice.
For two years Bible, head Nebraska
coach, has had Lyman in mind for a
place on his staff and has been watch
ing reports of his performances.
Lyman, who is SO years old, Is a
veteran in professional foot ball ranks,
having started with the Canton, Ohio,
Bulldogs in 1922. Later he played
with the Cleveland team before join
ing the Chicago Bears. For eight
years he has played with the Bears
and has been listed on many ALL
America professional foot ball teams
as tackle.
While at Nebraska Lyman was a

1921 Cornhusker elevens and is re-
garded here as having contributed
materially to the only victory the
Cornhuskers ever scored over Pitts
burgh. In 1921 the Huskers downed
the Panthers, 10 to o. when Pitt was
coached by Pop" Warner.
His foot ball career continued and
he has played in 286 college and pro-

The other judge had it the other way

must have a system unknown to the
fans who are trying to dope out how
points are scored for clever blocking,

The two fights between Jimmy Nc

Rulings Protested.
BY SPARROW McGANN.

n YEW YORK, December 15.-The
nj New York Boxing Commis-
| Y sion practically fired Referee
Danny Ridge and Judge Ha-
rold Barnes for the decision they rem
dered in the young Peter Jackson
Sammy Fuller fight recently. They
were suspended indefinitely.
Ridge and Barnes took the COM
mission to task for hampering them
with so many rules that they were
unable to exercise their own judg-
ment. They were forced to see the
fight from an unnatural angle so that
the loser was adjudged the winner.
Ridge is an old-time fighter Thers
was nothing classy about him. He
took his punishment with grin and
tore in. He absorbed not only the
Furnishing angle of the game but the
fine points as well.
Barnes is an optician, with a keen,
piercing eye for what goes on in the
ring He is the gentleman who de-
tected the low blow committed by
Jack Sharkey on the person Of Max
Schmeling. despite the fact that
Schmelings back was turned to him.
