When asked yesterday whether or not
he would take any action relative to tha
presentation in this city OF Thomas DIX
on's reconstruction play, THE Clansman."
on Friday and Saturday Mayor Carlton
Mccarthy stated that he knew OF no au-
thorlty In law which would warrant hin
In interfering in any way with the per-
sformance. He Indicated that II 1t ap-
pcared to him that a riot or serious
breach OF the peace were, imminent. as
a result OF the appearance OF the play
here, he would have ample authority TO
forbid 1t, but the statutes under which
he must act give him no further powers.

the performance In this city 1t must be-
IN the nature of u special ordinance passed
by both branches OF the Council.
Mayor Mccarthy did not care to dis
cuss tho merits of denlerits Of "rhe
Clansman'' for publication. contentlns
himself with the statement that he saw
no occasion to interfere.
1t is a fact, however, which may or
may not be generally known. that the
Council last year, by amending tho
ordinance relative to exhibitions of va.
rlous classes eliminated those sections
which required that a permit be Sc
cured from the Mayor. with appeal to-

The chief executive officer OF tho city

The action of the Council docs not
materially limit the scope OF his all-
th0r1ty In preventing Improper or i'm
moral displays. pictures, or shows, and
Tor certain specified causes he may In

So far as "The Clansman" is con-
