"0W OVEE EXTENSION OF TERM OF PRESIDENT EBERT Berlin, Oct. 20 (By .the A. P.)—The eading of the measure agreed to by the eaders of several .of the political par- tles for an extension of the term . of President Ebert to 1925 today precipi- tated- acrimonious debate, owing to re-| g marks of Herr Hergt, the nationalist eader, designating Herr Ebert .as. a ‘party- man” and demanding that the tovernment carry out its original pro- ect to hold a presidential election De- ember 3. Stormy protests arose from the cem- er and Jeft, during which Herr Loebe nterjected a remark to the . effect that svidence was at hand indicating that the murder of other political men was being plotted. The members of the ‘hamber were visibly startled. Chancellor Wirth then took a hand in the debate. He eulogized President FElert's services on behalf of the re- public and told the members of the house that they probably would not be in their seats today if Ebert had not stood by his guns during the stormy lays of the revolution. Confirming Herr Loebe's assertion, ¢ chancelior declared that the gov- rament was warranted, on the trength of a confession made by an rrested suspect, to believe that fur- her political murders were being ar- ‘anged. Secret service operatives are running lown a clue which is said to consti- ‘ute an important link in the govern- nent's chain of evidence. Chancellor Wirth during the past vonth has been receiving threatening stters from all sections of Germany in- forming him that he was certain to share the fate of Dr. Walter Rathenau, thé foreign minister, who met death by \ssassination. An unusually heavy ruard of plainclothes men have been slaced at the chancellor’s disposal for everal months, ‘0 RECALL AMERICAN FORCES FROM SAN DOMINGO Washington, Oct. 20. partment The state de- made public today plans for ne Dominion repablie vy forces and ‘an- that prociamation has been agresd to by which a. provi- government would “be ‘establish- ormally sional ed According to the terms of the procla- mation. which has ‘just bsen issued-at San Domingo by Rear Admiral Samuel 4.

CHRIST EPISCOPAL SCHOOL HAS ENTERTAINING RALLY The Sunday school of Christ Episco- pal church opened the fall season with an evening of pleasure Friday at the i church house. Under the general direc- tion of Miss Mabel Webb a program congisting of musical numbers, recitations and dancing entertained some 70 me bers of the school until nine o'clock af- ter which’ réfreshments were served and a social hour enjoyed. The program of the evening opened when William R. Clark, Superintendent of the Sunday school, spoke a few words of welcome, this being followed by the unison singing of four verses of the hymn, “The Church’s One Foundation™. The next number on the program was a talk by Rev. Richard R. Graham, rector, who welcomed the members back mto the fall campaign, and told of some of the good things to come during the year. Rev. Mr. Graham’s talk was followed by a violin selection by George Guile, which so pleased his audience that an encore was demanded. The next feature was a Few Folk Dances, given by the primary children which was aiso enjoy- ed. Next was a recitation by Anna: Ly- rick, this being followed by an Irish Lilt, danced by the Misses Alice Wil- liams and Dorothy Turner. Both girls were dressed in the picturesque dress of the colleen and at the end of the lilt were recalled, and danced another mum- ber. One of the treats of the evening fol- lowed this number, 'little Mildred Bran- ner, age three years, giving a delight- ful interpretation of “Teetering”, to the tune of Peggy O'Neill, keeping time with the music while she danced her diffi- cult steps. N\ The next number was a violin solo by Miss Jennie Lamber, this being fol- lowed by “Comin’ Thru’' the Rye”, inter- preted by the Misses Dorothy Turner and Dorothy Lord. Dressed in the clothes of the time the couple walked through the rye, kissed and lived happily as the song goes. The song patt of the number was rendered by the class of Miss Ken- dall and Miss Webb. Tkis number was followed by a read- ing, “Little Orphan Anmie” by Doro- thy Malcom. The closing numbers on the program consisted of old fashioned songs by girls, of the classes of Miss Kendail and Miss Webb. In the center of the stage were Violet Diedrickson and Eleanor Erickson, dressed to reprd- sent the famous old couple “When You {and I Were Young Maggie”. Other mem- bers‘of the classes grouped about the couple and sang the old songs. The “Good Night Song” was given by members of the classes of Miss Helen Robinson and Miss Mary Richards. Dress- ed in “nighties”, each carrying a candle, the sleepy giris walked into the room which had been darkened and after tel- ling of the dreaded walk up the stairs to bed and slumberland, sang the Good Night Song and wended their weary way to bed . The entertainment was one of the best and the committee in charge received credit for its splendid work. The church hall was prettily decorated in autumnal colors, lights being covered with stalks of corn, and other things suggestive of Thanksgiving added greatly to the at- tractive stage setting, . —— WHITE KNOCKS OUT MARKS IN SECOND New York, Oct. 20—Charley White, Chicago lightweight knocked out Sid arks Canadian lightweight = champion in the second round of a 12-round match at Madison Square Garden. A crashing lert hook to the jaw sent Marks to the floor for the count of ten after 59 seconds of the second round had elapsed. The end came with start- ling suddenness and almost before the battle had really.begun. Both boxers opened cautiously in the first round and less than a half dozen blows were exchanged. White feinted for a lead several times but seemed con- tent to feel out his opponent. The Chi- cagoan opened the second round in whirl- wind fashion, staggering Marks with a left hook. White followed up his advan- tage quickly and as Marks tried to clinch whipped over a lightning-like blow that sent his opponent to canvas. ‘White’s decisive victory tonight was regarded by ring experts as clinching his claims for a title contest with Benny Leonard, lightweight king, White and Leonard were matched to box in Jer- sey City, N. J., during the world series but due to an infection in the champion’s mouth, the contest was called off. ‘White entered the ring three pounds over the lightweight limit, tipping the scales at 138 pounds. Marks weighed 135. HUSBAND SECURED DIVORCE IN STERNLIEB CASE Louis Sternlieb of this city obtained a divorce in ‘September in- the -superior court here from Helen White Sternlieb of Orange, N. J.

In the evolution of t¥e Passion Play the. early. religious and khistorical plays . have 2 part, dating- back to 1574, when ' one was performed ‘in the strests of | Munich. S For 100 years Passion Plays were given in. 60 different jocalities in Bavaria, and during a pestilence in Oberammergau, in 1633, a vow was made that “if - God spared them they would perform every ten years. as a memorial, the tragedy of the Passion of His Son.” The text has'been revised severa! times but that of 1850 is still used. Three years before the production of the play the people are assembled and the details ‘are arranged by the parish priest and town council, with the burger- méister as chairman. There are 65 speak- ing roles, the performers for which are chosen by secret ballot. and age, looks and character are considered. No mar- ried women or new residents are allowed to act. One-third of the proceeds must be de- voted to charity and village improvement, and until 1850 the actors received no re- numeration, but 10 years ago the princi- pal characters received $375 each, practi- cally 2 whole year's pay. During the year of the Passion Play no amusements are allowed and a truly Len- ten season prepares them for the great religious performance. To the 8,000 weekly visitors and 12,000, if three performances are given, th actors are known oaly by the names of their characters. Mr. and Mrs.. Vaughn were lodged In the home of Nathaniel, Wwho was understudy for the part of Christus, and a cousin of Anton Lang. On the morning of the play the vil- lagers are called to prayers and mass at 5 o'clock, and at T. the people to th , which commences promptly at 8 2. m. The play is composed of three arts with 17 acts and €9 scenes, besides 26 tableaux which link the Old and New Testaments.
