COURT STOPS PLUNDERERS CLEVELAND, O.,,Dec! 10.—Owen N. Wilcox was appointed today receiver of the Cleveland and Sharon electric railroad company by Judge Strimple in the common pleas court.

Court Lenient With Land Grabbers CARSON, Nev., Dec. 10.—Today in the United States district-court Judge Far- rington pronounced sentence on the Williams brothers for the illegal fencing of federal lands in the eastern and northern parts of the state. There were five indictments in all, four against the two together and one against George B. Williams alone. On the former four indictments each was sentenced to pay a fine of $100 and serve 24 hours in the Churchill county Jjail at Fallon for each indictment. George B. Willlams was sentenced to pay a fine of $200 and serve 24 hours in jail. The sentences were passed so as to make them comcurrent. The sentences as passed by the court began'at the time sentence was pronounced and will have expired before the convicted men will have reached the county ‘seat: of Churchill, where they are to be im- prisoned, thereby relieving them of the thought that they. might.be. locked - up, in the county bastile for even a few hours. The fines were promptly paid for the. two men as soon as court adjourned.

York NEW YORK, Dec. 10.—After a heated debate a proposed ordinance removing the ban from Sunday concerts and other forms of mild entertainments on the first day of thé weék was referred by the board of aldermen today to the committee on laws and legislation, and New York is promised another “blue” Sunday, as the board will not meet again until next Tuesday. The law committee will hold a public hearing on the resolution Friday. Alderman Reginald Douall presented an ordinance, . which, while forbidding plays, operas, farces, ballets, minstrel shows, dancing or other stage per- formances, would permit vocal or in- strumental concerts, lectures, recita- tions and singing. Although the or- dinance was less liberal than had been expected, it provoked sharp debate, Alderman Douail said that he had submitted the ordinance to the cor- poration counsel, wha declared it legal and not in conflict with the penal code. Alderman Meyers said that the ordi- nance was in the interest of a vaude- ville trust, and respect should be shown those who wished a quiet Sunday. Alderman Timothy Sullivan, the ma- jority leader of the board, déclared that the people deserved immediate relief and that every newspaper in the city was for the ordinance. Rev. Dr. Francis Moran, chairman of the national law committee of the Actors’ church alliance, said today that the law as interpreted by Justice O'Gorman was too drastic. Dr. Moran said that the alliance believed that good music, such as instrumental and song concerts, should be permitted. He said that Bishop Potter, president of the alliance, had discussed with him | the advisability of requesting the gov- ernor of New York to call a special commission for the purpose of inquir- ing what would be the most suitable _Sundgv _entertainments for the people.
