A slrn of the times was voiced in "Com- mission Qovernment." the municipal Journal of this city, in its Issue of last week. A force- ful argument against the Sunday closing law was made with approximate flfures of the loss sufltalned by the city through the enforcing of the law. Over a million dollars, it is esti- mated, has already been lost. The article called for concerted action on the part of the cltliens to obtain a liberal Sunday hero. This appsal coming as it does from the executive head of the city (Mayor William Riddle backs the Journal) met with hearty endorsement of lo«al merchants. The publication followed the action of a grand Jury in Jersey City .last week, which refused to indict 140 license hold- ers, accused of Sunday selling. The grand Jury In explaining its course, maintained that Sunday selling was not against popular wish.

Brierre <^^ King Direction irying Coopcr HARRISON SISTERS Banjo Girls The case of Louis Kuehnle, the most popular political figure in the history of Atlantic City, who was tried and convicted by an elisor- drawn Jury (a special body selected at the •uggestion of the court), and which attracted widespread interest, not only because of the man's activities, but through the unprece- dented methods used to Insure a conviction, was brought to a close last week, when he gave himself up to the Sheriff and motored to Trenton to start serving one year's sentence. The general sympathy expressed at Mr. Kuehnle's plight was demonstrated In many ways and already petitions are being circu- lated for his pardon. When Arthur Deagon made reference to It at the Savoy Sunday night, big applause voiced his sentiments. Mr. Kuehnle seemed to be the most optimistic person regarding his sentence and when he was turned over to the warden, requested that he be ahown no courtesy. Last week when he arranged his affairs, he said that he dM not think himself guilty of the charges, btt that he would obey the law in every detail He took his trial and conviction like the mu he always proved to be. He was more thu liberal in his charities and always ready t« further the Interests of Atlantic City. Louit Kuehnle was accused of being interested li the company that built the water main acro« the meadows two years ago. the contract being awarded while he was one of three on th« board of water commissioners. It was showi at the trial that the company lost over ISO,- 000 on the work. Joseph Abrams, the violinist at the Jackson, was married last week to Zella Coleman. Abrams has been with the Three White Kuhat for the past two years. .^ NEW ORLEANS ^ Bj O. M. SAMVELi. ORPHEUM (Arthur White, mgr.).~Fnlr show.
