SUNDAY LID IS LIFTED.
After Two "Bine" Satbaths New York
Returns to the Old Regime.
New York. Dec. 18. The board of
alderman today adopted an ordinance
-which will permit Sunday theatrical
exhibitions with certain features com
mon to week day shows eliminated.
The ordinance now goes to Mayor Mc
Clellan, who is expected to sign it not
later than Friday, making" possible on
next Sunday a resumption practically
of the old order of things, which
existed prior to Justice O'Gorman's
supreme court interpretation of the
Sunday closing law.
Since the court's decision New
Torkers have experienced two "blue"
Sundays so far as public entertain
ments were concerned, and the action
of the aldermen today was a result of
protests on the part of amusement
promoters and a popular plea for a
more liberal Sunday law.
Objection to today's ordinance was
voiced by some church organizations.

SHALL WOMEN SMOKE.
Important Question Which New York
Is Trying to Decide.
New York, Dec. 18. The cigarette
question is just now perplexing New
York society women and is almost as
vital a question as the rigorous en
forcement of the blue law last Sun
day and this.
Shall women be permitted to smoke
publicly in the better cafes?
The refusal by the management of
the Hotel Plaza to allow Mrs. Patrick
Campbell this privilege last week has
met with a storm of disapproval,
especially among the leading ac
tresses Blanche Ring says: "It is a
shame when we can't indulge in this
custom if we want to." A number of
others express this same feeling. On
the other hand, Mrs. Henry Conger,
who has been prominent in reform
work, expressed herself in no unde
cided terms when interviewed.
"This continual exhibit," she said,
"of unwomanly desire to ape men and
mannish vices is a shame. Many
habits which are deplorable in men
are distrusting in women and this is
certainly one of them. Why. can you
imagine that type of motherhood, all

It is a shame and disgrace to our sex
that women smoke at all, but when
this is put on exhibition in our leading
cafes it is entirely too much- and
should be stopped. I know it Is cus
tomary abroad, but this does not
prove that we should lower our moral
standard to meet theirs."

McCrumb, 23 years of age, a school
teacher, is in a serious condition from
an attack alleged to have been made

justice of the peace. She was walking
from the schoolhouse to her home, a
distance of a mile, when the assault
was attempted. Her screams attracted
a farmer and h. gave the alarm. A
posse was formed and following a
search of several hours Summers was
found hiding behind a monument in a
cemetery overlooking the town. He was
taken to JaiL Meantime hundreds of
persons gathered about the Jail build
ing demanding the prisoner. Because
of the threats of the mob, it was de
cided to rush Summers to Greenville
for safety. . . , .
Miss McCrumb was nearly choked to
death and her face and body are cov
ered with scratches and bruises.

Lawrence Purdy Says Levy Should Be

Lansing. Mich., Dec. 18 Lawrence
Purdy. president of the department or
taxes and assessments of Greater New
York, addressing the constitutional
convention of Michigan here, declared
that economists are agreed that the
taxation of mortgages, which prevails
at present in Michigan, Is unjust and
he said that much better results are
obtained In New York by a tax of half
of one per cent, paid when the instru
ment is recorded.
Being asked by a delegate whether
railroad bonds and mortgages should
be included In the same category with
mortgages on farms, etc., Mr. Purdy
replied that in equity they stood on
precisely the same basis. What should
be taxed, he said, was the property
itself and not the evidence of owner
