IS SATURDAY OR SUNDAY THE SABBATH?

TOPEKA, Kan., May 10.—"If a man's religion causes him to recognize Saturday as his Sabbath and he fittingly observes the day, has he a right to keep his place of business open on Sunday?"
This question must be decided by Attorney-General John S. Dawson of Kansas, who has started a crusade to close all places of business in this State on Sunday. The argument is advanced by a Seventh-day Adventist, who operates a picture show in Leavenworth, Kan.
The man closes his place of business Saturday, but desires to keep his show open on Sunday. The laws of Kansas say all places of amusement must be closed Sunday, but also say that no man's religion may be interfered with.
It is declared that the picture show will be closed Saturday, but will be open Sunday, and a test case may result.
