' A large audience at the Freeport Methodist Church lasi Sunday night considered Sunday movies. The ob¬ ject of the meeting was to hear the report of the committee on the Ameri¬ can Theatre. The church meeting opened at nine o'clock. Robert S. Nutt presiding and Jolin D. Gunning recording. F'or the committee ap¬ pointed the preceding Sunday, Henry P. Lihhy reported that they had visited Messra. Woilman and Wanda, of the American Theatre, and had been received very courteously. The theatre proprietors sard they would he pleaaed to discuss the moral aspect of the (|uestion.
Said Mr. Libby: "We tried to ehow them that if nothing more the contlQ- uance of .Sunday ahowa might be an entering wedge for possibly other showa; that It was the spirit of American villages to thoroughly ob¬ serve the Sabbath without commer¬ cialized pleasures. W'e impreaaed upon them that they should have more regard for the sentiment of the two or three thousand people con¬ nected with the churches than the financial gain at present. The pro¬ prietors said that if there wero so many people in tiie village feeling as we did on the proposition, it woula have great weight witli them."
Jolm IJ. Gunning atruck a popular ( liord with 'he masa meeting when he interpolated: "It was a question not of watcliing the picttires, hut a ques¬ tion of paying." He commended Vill¬ age I're*<ident Lamb and Counselor Fisher for the nianner in which the village liad taken up the question, and said he believed they were right from the legal standpoint.
A resolution was received from tiie Federation of Men's Cliurch Clubs op¬ posing Sunday picture shows.
Jere E. Brown said that although tlie law and interpretation seemed to allow Sunday pictures shows, he didn't think tliat the six or seven luindred people present should pro¬ test against one man, and then sit down and resl; that activities should continue.
Wiiliam P. Jones suggested that otlier places in the village also be proceeded against.
Joseph R. Clark urged a village tax so high the American Theatre pro¬ prietor couldn't afford to pay it.
Henry P. Libby suggested that it might be posaible to lasue licenses for six days in the week, making a special fee for the seventii day; aleo, that action might be taken against those who worked in the American Theatre on Sundaya. He said that Counselor • ishel had hinted that it might be possible to arrest the piano player, ticket seller or operator, and make a test caae. Mr. Libby said he did not think that courae neceaaary.
The Rev. August C. Karkau, of the Lutheran Church, suggested that for¬ mer Justice Gaynor's interpretation of the difference between indoor and outdoor sporta miglit govern tills case.
"Aa-vlllage election ia approach¬
ing," he aaid, "we ought to keep this flre burning, and aee to it that they shall give Freeport a cleaner govern¬ ment than we're getting."
Dr. Curtice said that tbe Rev. Kai- Kau's remarks have the right ring. "Our police and prosecuting attor¬ neys, and even officials higher up. are not ready to flght organized iniquity. We've got to take hold of the blue- coats, and even then they rarely move. If we caii't solve the problem any other way let's have a flght which wlii start at Freeport and continue until it reaches Albany, and we ob¬ tain the privileg eof local option on the proposition."
The committee waa continued, with power to take such action as eeems necessary, and report at a meeting to be called by the chairman.

President Ilarry W. Moore, of thc Nassau County Bar Association, tooK issile with fornier Controller Jolin Lyon Monday morning, who opposed the plan to Increase the salaries of the Nassau County officials. The Nassau County IJar Association at its annual meeting urged the Increase of the salaries.
The former Controller in an open letter deprecated the proposal. He declared that with tlie opportunity of the officials to pursue their private vocations the present compensation was ample and suggested that two days ot eacli week for eight hours each day would be enough for all the officials to perform their duties.
It is to this etatement that Preai¬ dant Moore, of the Bar Association, objects.
Said Mr. Moore: "The last censua placea the population of Nassau Coun¬ ty at ] 18,000. There ia a section of , the law which provides that tiie Coun¬ ty Judge and Surrogate and District Attorney may not practice their pro¬ fessions if the population is 120,000. Witli the great inc.ease in the past there is no doubt that in a short Ume j the inhabitants will number 120,000, i and if this is the case these ollicials 1 will be compelled to abandon their ! private practice. If these salaries ' are not Increased thia winter it will , create a peculiar aituation. The Sur- i rogate and County Judge are elected | for six year terms and unleaa their • salarlea are raiaed hefore the new | terms begin they will not have tlie : advantage of the Increase, and the \ County Judge (Will continue to receive ' the sum of $3,500 and the Surrogate the same each year. These salaries i were adequate wben the county was formed, but we cannot attract the proper candidates for these judicial officea at the rate of the amall aai- aries."
It is planned to have a bill intro¬ duced in the Legislature providing for the Increaae of salarlea, and it is proposed to make the salaries of the County Judge. Surrogate and District Attorney $5,000 each a year. The Diatrlct Attorney at present receives $2,500.
