the Judiciary.
"Tho great controlling principles that
govern the question arc beginning to
operate. We 010 beginning to see that
no a fundamental right tho Issue should

27th nnnunl production In tho Forrest
Theatre this morning. After two hours
of such preparation ns squeezing tho
muscular substanco of football heroes
Into chorines' spangles and cover bristling
mascullno pompadours with flaxen Castle
cllp wigs, tho curtnln was raised on tho
opening ensemble, staged outside a prison.
It Is from this hostile that the club's
nowest musical comedy derives Its name.
"Pnradiso Prison." Most of tho melodies
liavo hcen contrived by Charles Gilpin,
who for years hns given the cienm of his
nnnunl output of musical composition to
tho fninous Pennsylvania organization.
Tho book of the production camo from
Darrell Hoover .Smith, of Pittsburgh, who
for tho third tlmo was decided by Judges
to have written the best libretto ot mnny

Tho "paradise" pliaso of prison llfo was

two daughters were beautiful nnd tho
essence of refinement. Ho nlways had a
word of cheer for every ono ho met, rc
gardless of creed or race. Ho was no
cxcppttonnl man In every way.
"His sermons wore straight from tho
heart nnd pcoplo liked them. The trus
tees liked them, too, no doubt, but thoy
would not ndmlt It. Mr. Sanderson had
tho mlsfortuno If ono 'would call It such
to caution the young son of one of tho
trustees who would Insist on talking In
church. Ho also went ahead on tho con
struction of an extension to our new
church hero without consulting the build
ing committee. It's a good thing ho did,
or tho extension would not hnvo been
built, even now."
THE BREACH WIDENS.
Tho breach between Mr. Sanderson and
tho trustees widened whllo tho congre
gation nestled closer to Itn pastor. Ono
member of tho board took his troubles
within earshot of Bishop Berry. Then
camo the thunderbolt. At a stormy
meeting of tho board, tho Rev. Mr. San
dcrson told tho members plainly that ho
knew what they wero up to. Then he
resigned. That was thrco weeks ngo,
Tho trustees' glory, If such It may be
called, was short-lived, Moro than 400
members of tho congregation at once
flocked to the pastor'B house with a paper
bearing their signatures, expressing re
gret that ho was leaving nnd giving him
every testimonial of their love, friend
ship and goodwill. This reached tho ears
of tho trustees, and last Saturday they
resigned In a body. Their resignations
will go Into effect April 5.
Tho trustees resigned for two reasons.
First because of the feeling of the con
gregation. Secondly because of the Rev,
Mr. Bond. They still wanted their fnvor
lte of two years back; but at the recent
conference the uppolntment was given, to
the Rev. 8. M, Thompson.
NEW PASTOR'S PROBLEM,
A murky cloud of gloom overhangs the
llttla church here today, and the Itev,
Mr, Thompson's task Is by no means
an easy one. He admits that himself, but
he does' not beat around the bush.
He already had preached here on two
occasions and did not mince words to
either the congregation or trustees. "
will build up tne church here," he said,
"but It we do not get along, I shall go.
I know a great deal of what has gone on
here In the past and I want to Insist that
things run smoothly from now on. It's
a case of do or die. I'm deeply Im
pressed with this little church and con
gregation and if we do not get along, I
know I shall feci It deeply, it may mean
a case of the hearse backing up at my
door."
The situation Is even humorous at
times, "Are you all very much attached
to your pastor?" one fair member of the
congregation was asked.
"What's the use?" she replied. "As
soon as we get to like the pastor, he
leaves us for some other town."
TRUSTEES "UNANIMOUS."
In speaking of Mr. Sanderson's resigna
tion, P. 3. Justice, of the board of trus
tees, said: "I have no comment to make
for publication. The board's opinion of
him. however, was unanimous."
The other members of the board who
resigned are: Harry Huber, William Mc
Caiui, John McFarland, John Buttle.
George Hudson, Howard Short, It, r
Wright and J. Helpner.

PLAYGROUND BILL VETOED
Mayor Disapproves Use of Downtown
Plot for That Purpose.
Mayor Blankenburg today notified Coun
cils that he had failed to approve an or
dlnnnco passed recently condemning as a
recreation centre property bounded by
21th, 25th and Jackson streets nnd Snyder
avenue. Tho Mayor stated that his ob
jection to tho ordinance was based upon
a report from tho Board of Recreation, In
which they urged him to veto the mca-
Hc also requested that Councils with
draw for further consideration a bill
passed recently providing for tho condem
nation for park purposes of the plot of
ground bounded by 24th. 26th, Jackson
nnd Wolf streets. Tho Mayor ofTered no
objection to tho establishment of a park
here, but urged that the cost of the con
demnation proceedings bo met by other,
funds than the recently approved loan
Item for the Improvement ot parks and
squares.
VETOED BY THE MAYOR
Assent Withheld From Bill to Lease
Convention Hall.
Mayor Blankenburg vetoed today tho
ordlnnnco passed by Councils nt the last
Besslon authorizing tho leasing of Con
vention Hall, Broad Btreet and Allegheny
nvenue, to J. Edward McOarvey, The
hall was to havo been used for amuse
ment purposes.
Tho Mayor's veto message was one of
the shortest ever sent to Councils. Ho
said:
"This ordinance provides for the pay
ment to tho city ot an annual rental
of 13750. I withhold my approval from
It, because the rental In Itself Is too
small to be considered."
MAYOR ASKS $50,000
FOR ELECTRIC INQUIRY
Continued from rage One
Mayor believes It woujd be possible to
ray what Is n. Just rate. He points out
the statement of Director Cooke that
other cities have ptade Blmllar appro
priations, and almost uniformly with
good results,
"STAGE SET FOR PLUNDER."
Director Cooke, In his letter, said he Is
forced to admit that "our guard Is down
and a blow may.be delivered almost at
the pleasure of the Philadelphia Electric
Company." He declares he has expended
out of his salary about 15000 In the last
two years to develop for the benefit of
the public the tacts as to the excessive
capitalisation of the Philadelphia Electro
Company. His letter concludes:
"The stage la set for a bit of public
plundering which may by comparison
makes the 1WT Philadelphia Rapid Tran
sit deal look almost philanthropy, r
know you will bo glad to stand out
against this by sending an emphatic
recommendation to city councils, urging
this appropriation."'
An ordinance providing for the appro
priation accompanied the Mayor's letfr
to city councils.
