SUNDAY PARK QUESTION NOW UP TO SHERIFF Continued from Pago One. ment was indicted for operating on Sunday is n fact, but the records of the courts will show that the Indictment was tried before a Jury, who, after hearing the evidence of witnesses, ac quitted the officers, simply because Ponce DeLeon had not been operated on the Sabbath. "Ponce DeLeon is Indeed a private park. It Is a place for the ladies and children of Atlanta, and the highest degree of good order will be maintain ed at all times. Regular city police are detailed for duty, and we have three special officers who mingle In citizens' dress with the gatherings, and see that no disorderly characters are permitted to remain on the grounds at any time. "The fact that this Is the fifth season of the resort-park and that during the whole period there has never been move, desire, wish or intent to open on Sunday any of the shows, games, the theater or skating rink is certainly evidence that we have no wish to break down the Sabbath." • From Father Gunn, Father John E. Gunn, pastor of the Sacred Heart Catholic church, sees no objection to the opening of the park on Sunday, as it fs conducted now. He said, in response to a question: "When the people of the churches at- tend the services on Sunday I can see no objection to their enjoying their aft ernoons at a park like Ponce DeLeon. I have never heard anything against the park since it opened. Sunday is a day for rest and religious observance and recreation, and certainly there can he no harm In Innocent amusements like this, If It does not Interfere with attendance on churchea. "Speaking for my own church, we have an average attendance of 98 per cent of our membership, including members from -7 to 70 years of age, every Sunday. I believe few churches could show as high a proportion." Rav. R. O. Flinn. Rev. Richard Ortne Flinn, pastor of the North Avenue Presbyterian church, Is emphatically opposed to the opera tion of amusement devices on Sunday. He said: "You may say for me that I am un alterably opposed to the operation of such places, in the lirst place. It is a violation of the state law. and that Is enough. It offers mere recreation, when people might find rest and edification In the churches. I see no reason why those people should be allowed to coin money on Sunday any more than dry goods merchants or others. I might add that I am opposed to soda foun tains on Sunday, not so much from the standpoint of the public as from thut of the tired workers who must attend to them. I have no objection to Ponce DeLeon on week days." Rev. E. D, Ellenwood. Rev. Everett Dean Ellenwood, pastor of the Unlversallst church, sees no ob jection to Innocent amusements oil Sunday, as relating to Ponce DeLeon and Its class of attractions. He said: "I cRn seo no reason why orderly amusements should not be conducted on Sunday afternoon If they do not disturb others. I believe that public playgrounds should be open. I do not believe In professional baseball, horse racing nor theaters on Sunday, but 1 fall to see any objection to tired people having a place for Innocent amuse ment." Gadsden Directory Out.

TEACHERS MA 1 ESCAPE S UMMER NORMAL SCHOOL; MAN} PROTESTS ENTERED Board of Education May Reconsider or Postpone School. There Is a strong possibility that the board of education will reconsider Its action In making it compulsory for teachers to attend a five weeks' normal school this hummer, tho genera! dis satisfaction created by this regulation having been brought forcefully to the attention of the members. ' Just what will be done Is a matter of speculation. Some are in favor, it is said, of dropping the school entirely, while others want tho length of time reduced. A resolution has been Introduced In council by Councilman Terrell request ing the board to postpone the normal school until August. This was referred to the schools committee, and will prob ably be reported back to council Thurs day at the special session. After nine months' hard labor In closed, sometimes stuffy and poorly ventilated school rooms, the teachers feel that It Is asking too much of them to require them to attend a normal school five weeks now In tho heat of summer, without having a rest of even a full week. Hard on the Teachers, The position of a teacher, at host, they say, ts not a path of roses, and they are probably paid less than any other servants In the city's employ. Now, to ask them to work flvo weeks lenger without any pay at all, and to the destruction ot all previous plans fur a little rest and recreation, Is, the teachers feel, more than should In Jus tice be asked. Many of the teachers had worked throughout the yenr, with the constant anticipation that when the hot summer months rolled around they would be free. Some had prepared trips to Jamestown, and had made all ar rangements accordingly. Others were going to visit relatives and friends in other cities. Instead of a few weeks of deserved rest after montjis of toll, the board has erdered that they Immediately attend a normal school for five weeks. Shut in Close Rooms. This will mean that they wll be shut up In the closed rooms of the Girls' High School every morning of the hot summer days, beginning June 12 and continuing until July 17. It will also mean the abandonment of all trips planned. Members ot the board, It is said, have realized that tills order was too stringent, and they are talking about another meeting, at which tholr previous action will be modified. Several members have told me," stated Councilman John W. Grant, chalrmsn of the committee on schools and ox-officio member of the board of education, "that the teachers are dis satisfied with our action In ordering tho normal school.

Blue Tag Prices for the month of June Special to The Georgian. Savannah, Ga., Juno 4.—A special from Statesboro says: Yesterday nfternoon at Areola, a lit tle girl of 12 years old was assaulted by Will Goodwin, a negro. Goodwin has been arrested and Is In jail at Statesboro. Ho has confessed his crime. The little girl was passing a field within a fow hundred yards of the business part of Areola. The negro was plowing In the field. He left his plow and caught the little girl before she could escape. He released her and she ran crying into Areola, where she told of the affair. A posse was formed and the negro was found without trouble near the scene of his crime. It was determined to got him Into Statesboro and Into Jail as soon as possible, so as to prevent violence. P. It. McEtven, a resident of Areola, had the negro confined and telephoned to Statesboro, notifying Sheriff Ken drick. There was no train to Areola till this morning, but the sheriff was supplied with tho railroad automobile of the Savannah*and Statesboro rail road and carried to the scene of the trouble. Ho took Goodwin In charge and brought him to Statesboro In the automobile. • the Inexperienced teacher better pre pared. I see no objection to having it later in the summer, however, and I think all the teachers who have good excuses should not be forced to at tend. AFTER EXAMINING THREE Bpeclal to The Georgian.

In tho presence of a rather smnll, but thoroughly appreciative, audience, the George Fawcett Stock Company pre sented "Friends," a pleasing little love story, for the second week's bill at the Grand opera house Monday nlgl\t. The play Is otre of unusual merit, and while It I* not Impervious to criticism. It Is deserving of larger patronage than greeted Its Initial appearance. The play takes Its name from the friendship which springs up between a young musician and a young poet, the former poor because of delayed recog nltlon of his art: the latter poor be- cause a crabbed old father who dislikes poetry has cut off his allowance until he abandons his rhymes. Then both fall In love with the same girl and each strives to advnnce tho cause of the other. The necessary villain appears upon the scene, hut his evil machlnn- tlons are finally exposed and defeated, nnd the musician, by the help of his poet friend, gets the girl. DeWItt C. Jennings, as Hans Otto, father of the girl, did some clever act ing as the victim of the opium habit. Rose Curry, as Mnrguerlte Otto, of the Metropolitan opera house, displayed considerable amount of skill In execut ing the part of the girl who Is loved by three men and who loves only one. George Schraeder aa Harold Hunting, the villain In the play, did most credit able work. Brandon Hurst as Adrian Knrje, the musician; Regan- Hughston as John Paden. Jr., the poet: Rurr t.'a- ruth as John P„ 8r„ the business man, and Phyllis Sherwood as tho "little mother," all received merited pralso and applause, and handled their roles with marked ability. On account of the High School com mencements at the Grand, "Friends" will he presented at the Bijou Theater on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday matfneo. “It’s Up to You, John Henry." There la a little too much muchness about "It's Up to You, John Henry," as presented by Charlie Grapewln, aid ed nnd abetted by Mlaa Anna Chance, at the Casino Monday night. Not that tho performance Is not en Joyoble, for the attraction Is well worth while.' George V. Hobart’s lines, In themselves, are funny enough, and Grapewln knows what to do with them. But the play and the cast did not fit well. The latter seemed to bag at the knees. The truth of the matter li probably that the east ts not on familiar terms with "John Henry." A few rehearsals should remedy this. The Casino was well filled with the admirers of Charlie Grapewln nnd Anna Chance and the work of both wan ap plauded freely. The former was es pecially good In tho last net. when ho nought a ticket to Confuslonvllle, but landed In the Town of Easy Go, with the only furnished room In his heart occupied. The Hurahlene quartette and a do- funny song and dance by Fred Wayne und JantCB Grant were the best among n number of good specialties. It wilt bo up to John Henry all the week. Pastime Theater. If the crowd which attended the tnutlncc and evening performances of the Pastime Theater on Monday Is an Index of the popularity of the place, all records will doubtless he broken. There are four stellar arts on the program—Lewis and Lesslnger, In a "Rube" act; Sytz and Sytz, the barrel Jumpers; Tommy Wilks, the sweet singer, und Baby Esmond, the child actress. Elsie Woods In topical songs received an ovation.. Flora Esmond gave a ae ries of Inimitable Impersonations wblch brought down the houae. Tommy Wilks, whose sweet singing last week made him a prime favorite at this home of vaudeville, la adding new laurels. Baby Esmond, the 4-year-old child actress. Is really remarkable and her) sweet singing and dainty steps never! foiled to receive an ovation. Skating at St. Nicholas. It Is estlmuted that fully a thousand skaters took advantage of the reopen- ; ing of the colossal skating rink In tho ' St. Nicholas Auditorium at Ponce De-. Leon park Monday, to induige In this delightful pastime. It had been closed for a week during the May-Junc Music Festival, when all skating was called off. The cool day and night of Monday put everyone on un edge for this popu lar dlvertlsement and when the first session was begun It found skaters anxious to get on tho floor. As a memory of the Music Festival, the giant orchestrion which has boon' described so minutely In these column*, was set to playing the opening number at the first session. The orchestrion, played by electricity, reproduces tho notes and tones of sixty Instruments, Including drums, cymbals, horns and the like, in u manner almost perfect. It sends its music distinctly to the fur thest recesses of the rink nnd Is heard all over the grounds. There will bo music at each session dally hereafter. Vaudeville at White City.
