Attorney T. Arthur Hen- dricks, who took the acknowledgment of the signatures, declared that there were no money troubles and-asserted that the mortgage was given solely to protect Mr. Orant In the event that anything happened to Mr McCormack. i Syracuse clergymen of practically every de- nomination had a merry time on Sunday roasting the motion picture interests here, the local authorities, etc., for turning the day Into a holiday. The sermon topics breathed fire and brimstone, and the clergymen warned that they would be found entering politics to fight those who have given Syracuse a "Conti- nental Sabbath." William H. Anderson, of the Anti-Saloon League, was In Syracuse to help the local ministers put the hell-brand on the movie men and the city fathers. But the sermons failed to put a dent In the attendance at the local picture and vaudeville houses. Attempts by the clergymen of Auburn to prevent Mayor Mark Koon from signing the Sunday movie ordinance failed. Koon, after a canvass, said he found sentiment strongly In favor of Sunday amusemonts. .Auburn may have a new picture house. The property at the corner of State and Dill streets may be leased from the Meeker Co. and transformed Into a theatre. The Common Council on Tues- day received applications for licenses from the Auburn houses.
