Sunday ‘Blue Laws’
Demanded in D. C.
by Reform Groups
Three Bills in Congress Ex
pected to Result in Heated
Battle—Opponents
Flay Puritans.
Washington, Deo. 17.—Legislation
to enforce the observance of the Sab
bath as a day of rest in the District
of Columbia is being vigorously de
manded of congress at this session by
various religious and welfare associa
tions.
The Religious Liberty association
is sounding a warning of the activi
ties of "professional reformers" In lob
bying for the passage of District of
Columbia "blue laws.” asserting that
"the leaders of the Lord's Day alli
ance. the National Reform associa
tion and Internationa! Reform bureau
are demanding even more drastic Sun
day legislation than is now proposed."
In a statement issued today the
Religious Liberty association says:
"Chairman Fooht of the house dis
trict commlttte states that some of
these reform organizations are threat
ening the members of his committee
with political beheadal if they refuse
to act on the pending Sunday bills
for the District of Columbia. These
reformers will not bo satisfied until
they have stopped the sale of Sunday
newspapers, the sale of gasoline to
automobiles on Sunday. Sunday con
certs and Sunday theaters; In fact,
they are planning on closing every
door and every avenue of secular in
terest. leaving open only the avenue
that leads to the church door on Sun
day.”
Bills in Congress.
The Sunday hills have been Intro
duced, one *n the senate and two In
the house of representatives, two of
which, fathered by Senator Myers,
democrat, of Montana, and Represen
tative Zihlman. republican, of Mary
Itnd. provide for one day of rest In
seven for employes in certain employ
ments, preferably Sunday, and the
third presented by Representative
Fitzgerald, republican, of Ohio, for
'blddlng any person to labor or em
ploy others to labor on Sunday, ex
cept on work of necessity or charity,
to keep open any theater, moving pic
ture house, dance hall, place of pub
He assembly or amusement tor secular
purposes, or "to engage In unlawful
sports on the Lord's day, commonly
called Sunday.” "Unlawful sporta,” It
1s explained by advocates of the bill,
would be ai v games for which an ad
mission fee is charged. The bill hakes
no exemptions in favor of those ob
serving any day other than Sunday
and provides for penalties of from $5
to fBOO fines, or imprisonment of
from one to six months, or both.
Ths Fitzgerald bill, the most drastic
of the three, is Indorsed by the Na
tional Reform association, the Lord's
Dgy alliance, the Pastors’ Federation
of the District of Columbia, the Y. M.
C. A. and the board of temperance,
prohibition and- public morals of the
Methodist Episcopal church,
i Efforts Unsuccessful.
Effort* on the part of the reform
■organizations to get the Fitzgerald
bill out of committee have not met
With conspicuous success, No dis
position is manifested either by Rep
resentative Fooht, republican of Pen
nsylvania, chairman of the house
committee on the District of Columblo.
or other members of the committee
either to hold hearings on it or as
the Sunday law advocate* prefer, to
report It to the house without further
delay.
"There are too many laws on the,
statute hooks now that can't be en
foi •cid," Representative Focht said to
dAy. "There is no immediate prospect
of action on the Sunday hills for the
district-."- ^1
Against ‘all "blue laws" under
which, according to C. S. Longacre,
general International secretary,
Sevontlj Day Adventists are already
being persecuted In various states,
the Religious Liberty association pro
teats and especially against con
gressional action even for the District
of Columbia, which the association
fears would be the first move in an
attempted nationwide insistence on
the observant** of 8unday and the re
striction of the constitutional guar
antees of religious liberty.
"Ip some of the states where drastic
Su inlay laws are now on the statute
books," says Mr. Longacre, "reform
organizations are carrying on cru
sades which hark back to the days
when the puritans lorded It over the
consciences of dissenters and non
comformlsts. Recently Sousa's band
played high claRs music on Sunday
afternoon in Binghampton, N. Y.,
and the Ministerial association arrest
ed the promoters of the concert.
Would Stop Birds.
The puritan* If they had the pow- |
er would, no doubt, stop the birds |
from singing on Sunday. It is a won- I
der they do not petition the God of j
heaven to atop the angelic choir that j
sing* before the throne day and night ;
without ceasing. The Ministerial as- j
soclation of Washington. D. C., had
no Sunday law to arrest and stop the
community concerts held on Sunday j
nights in the Washington Central
high school auditorium so they pro
tested because the concerts attracted
so many other church members from
the evening services. Now they are
beseeching congress to pass a Sunday
law which will virtually cloep up every
place of public entertainment in the
District of Columbia on Sundays so
the church pews may be filled. They
are in reality asking the civil govern
ment to enforce church discipline upon
thetr members as well as upon non
church goers."
Among the reports of arrests of
Seventh Day Adventists for pursuing
their vocation on Sunday the follow
ing are cited:
T. B. Michael of Charlotte. N. C ,
was arrested and fined for taking pic
tures on Sunday in Lowell. N. C. He
has appealed his case.

"Unless the present day tendency

acre, "it will not be long before a com
plete union of church and state will
be perfected In America, such as held
sway In the third and fourth centu
ries of the Roman empire when the
church hierarchy of that day cap-!
tured the eivil government and domi

American Delegation Opposes
Plan to Expel Greek Church
From Constantinople —
Little Plogress Made.
Lausanne. Dec. 17.—(By A. P.)—
Voicing thu sentiment widespread
through the United States, the Amer
ican delegation entered a pro
test at the Lausanne conference
against the Turkish plan to expel
the Greek patriarch from Constan
tinople. No decision on this impor
tant matter was reached by the dele
gates,
The dispute over the Mosul oil
fields, suddenly brought to the front
again by the British memorandum In
sisting on Great Britain's mandatory
rights, has likewise made no progress
toward settlement.
Rite Nur Bey, the second Turkish
plenipotentiary, informed The As
sociated Press Turkey would yield on
neither of these questions—the
patriarch must go and Mosul,must
be recognized as Turkish.
"We have done nothing except
make concessions since our arrival,”
he asserted.
Turkey brought forward new argu
ments today to support its decision
that the head of the orthodox church
must be deported; a Turkish delegate
explained that the former privileges
held by non-Moslem communities
sprang from the ancient Ottoman em
pire, which was a theocratic empire
But now had come the separation of
the caliphate from the state, aboil
tion of the monarchy and the e»
lablishment of a purely democratic
regime. Hence the religious leaders
of the various communities should
exercise no right or privileges except
spiritual.

Keller Ignores
Seeond Call in
Daugherty Case
Minnesota Congressman Again
Refuses to Testify—Com
mittee to Decide on
Action Monday.
Washington, Dec. 17.—What action
should be taken as a result of the
refusal of Representative Keller, re
publican, Minnesota, to testify as to
hts impeachment charges against At
torney General Daugherty will be
considered Monday by the house
judiciary committee.
For the second time Mr. Keller
failed to personally respond to a for
mal subpoena served on him after
his dramatic withdrawal Thursday
from further participation in the
proceeding before the committee.
Some members wanted to certify the
case to the house immediately with a
view to contempt proceedings there,
but others were not so certain that
the committee had authority to do
so, since Mr. Keller had served for
mal notice through his counsel that
he stood on his rights as a member
of the house. It was his position that
the committee clearly had exceeded
its constitutional powers in Issuing
the subpoena, which, it was contend
ed, carried back of it the threat that
if he did not appear lie would be
cited for contempt.
.Says Rights Plain.
Representative Graham of Penn
sylvania, ranking republican on the
committee, insisted that the right of
the committee was plain and that It
should act at once. Representative
Sumners, democrat, Texas, and other
members held, however, that there
was no precedent so far as they could
find, and that the committee should
consider the matter deliberately.
Chairman Volstead also counseled
against too hasty action and after
arguments, tt was decided to put'the
matter over until Monday.
At the same tiipe the committee
voted to resume hearings on the im
peachment charges next Tuesday.
Witnesses will include Representa
tives Woodruff of Michigan and John
son, South Dakota, republicans, who
have attacked the attorney general in
the house for alleged failure to pros
ecute war fraud case: vigorously.
Want All (lie Fact*.
Chairman Volstead declared it was
the purpose of the committee to get
all tho facts it could about the
charges, despite the withdrawal of
Mr. Keller. Ho said Mr. Keller's
charges that Hie committee had been
"packed" were unfair and unfounded,
and other members denied the allega
tion of the Minnesota member that
there was an, effort to “whitewash"
Mr. Daugherty.
Chairman Volstead has written to
both Representatives Johnson and
Woodruff asking, for any assistance
they could givo In investigating Mr.
Keller's charges,, and both have of
fered 10 help in any inquiry into the
charges they made.
AnnoutK-ing that he cpuld submit at
once a list of witnesses, including
army officers and civilians who in his
opinion, would substantiate “every
statement made to Hie house,” Mr.
Johnson asked tho privilege of appear
ing before the committee to cross
examine certaifi of the witnesses..

Senators Oppose
Keeping American
Troops on Rhine
Some Manifestation of Impa
tience Over Course of Ad
ministrat ion—Irrecon
eilables Outspoken.
Washington. Dec. 17.—Senators in
terviewed were virtually unanimous
in the opinion that the adminis
tration should withdraw the remnant
of the American army of occupation
from Germany with the least possible
delay.
Many of them were surprised to
learn that American troops were still
being maintained on the Rhine. They
had been informed months ago of the
administration's intention to bring
home all the troops and they had sup
posed that this had been fully carried
out, although they had not followed
the developments closely.
There was some manifestation of
impatience over the latest Information
that the administration not only has
consented to the pleas of the allied
governments and Germany for the
continued maintenance of the small
body of American troops in Germany
but also lias no definite plans for
bringing them liome.
Irreconcilables Outspoken.
Senators who formed the irreconcil
able group which forced the rejection
of the treaty of Versailles and tin
league of nations were the most out
spoken in their criticism of the con
tinued presence of tho American
troops on the Rhine.
Senator Johnson, republican, Cali
fornia. a member of the foreign rela
tions committee, set forth the view
of many senators in tho following
statement:
"You ask me about the American
troops now in Europe. X have no hesi
tancy in saying they ought to be
brought home. Neither the wishes of
our associates in the war, nor the de
sires of our former belligerents should
weigh in the decision. Suppose there's
trouble again—the press dispatches
are constantly referring to possible in
vasion and seizure of territory—we
should not be Involved in It. I want
no more war, no more participation
in Europe's squabbles that do not con
cent us. Our soldiers should get out
of Europe."
I>enroot Has Proposal.
The administration's explanation of
its failure to bring home ail Ameri
can troops In Germany is that such a
withdrawal might be interpreted as a
gesture having a significance in the
delicate situation now prevailing
abroad. Senator Lenroot. republican,
Wisconsin, had a suggestion to meet
this obstacle.
"I appreciate the force of the argu
ments made by the administration,”
Senator Lenroot said. "But that might
be overcome in this way Fix a dato
in the future, say six months hence,
on which date the United States will,
without fail, bring homo all its troops.
Then the withdijawal could l>e carried
out without any misinterpretation be
ing placed upon the action.”
Norris Denounce* Policy.
Senator Norris, republican, Ne
braska, chairman of the so-called
progressive bloc, made up of members 1
of both houses, denounced tho pres- |
ence of the American troops on the !
Rhine os Van outrage."
“We have made peace by treaty !
with Gerniany and there is no burger

any more excuse for our maintaining
troops on the Rhine than there would
be for maintaining American troops
in Canada," said Senator Norris. "No
matter what allies say, or Germany
says, the American troops should be
brought home at once.”
Senator King, democrat, Utah, ex
pressed lits viewpoint of many of the
democrats who followed Woodrow
Wilson in his demand for ratification
of the Versailles treaty.
"I believed that we should have en
tered tlie league of nations,” Sena
tor King said. "1 contend that if we
had. many of the present ills of the
world would have been avoided. But
having failed to ratify the treaty of
Versailles, we have no excuse for
maintaining troops on the Rhine.”
