OBJECTS TO FIGHT PICTURES.
Governor Weeks Issues Strong Protest
Against Them.

Governor Weeks is strongly opposed
to moving picture exhibitions of the
Reno fight. HIS emphatic protest has
been issued He says:
THE policy of the state of Connecti-
cut is against the brutal exhibitions
known prize fights. The statutes
of this state provide a maximum pen
atty OF five years Imprisonment for
any person who is principal or second
in a prize fight, and fine and impris-
onment for every person who is pres
ent at and gives countenance to a fight.
1t is we'll known that moving pictures
OF the recent fight between Johnson
and Jenries are intended to be public
y exhibited as a source of profit, and
unless prevented will be SO exhibited
this state
If it is against public morals and
decency to have prize fights in our
state, in my opinion the public exhibit
ton in the state of moving pictures of
a prize fight would be much more
Objectionable than the fight itself be-
cause it would reach and demoralfze
much larger class of individuals in
Guiding children; and the exhibition
concerning this particular fight would
be attended with other features which
should be prevented. 1t is illogical to
prohibit prize fights as against public
morals. and not prohibit and prevent
the exhibition of moving pictures of
prize fight

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
n1he Eiaht-Pietures.u

Mr.. Editor: Your Interesting news
paper quotations this morning, under
the above title. close with this edltorial
comment:
If a community does not want the
fight pictures shown, it has the means
of preventing an exhibition II It mas
the moral stamina to express itself.
In the face of recent official utter
ances that would not seem certain.
Yet we all remember that the mayor
of San Francisco said that the fight
should and would be pulled off, in the
city he was running. But 1t WASH L
The large majority of state and city
officials thus far speaking through the
papers have declared against licensing
the pictures as public exhibitions
Mavor GaynOr of New York and our
own mayor are among those reported
as advocating interference with
what the latter terms Legitimate bust
ness
There is. in the writer's Judgment, a
wider point of view. involving the def
milton of Legitimate" businessHalso
the question of a broad public expedi-
ency.
The laws of Connecticut against
prize fighting are very explicit and the
penalties very severe as affecting
principals, seconds, aiders, abettors and
spectators-as well as those who laid
or encourage without being present.
They also so clearly define a prize
fight to make it certain that most
of the so-caIled professional boxing
bouts permitted in some of our cities
come clearly under the ban of the
statute.
These pictures therefore not only
represent but greatly laid encour-
age" an act illegal in itself, to say
nothing of its recent appalling effects
on public order and It's brutalizing
moral influence.
The great expression of opinion from
north, south, east and west is, it seems
to me. but the spontaneous verdict Of
the law abiding masses of the Ameri-
can people to the effect that this kind
of business should not be further
encouraged.
