Major Louis Werner. chief Of po-

to the police commissioners Wednes-
day evening that the moving pictures
Of the Johnson-J effries fight be not
shown in Richmond.
Fearing an encounter between the
whites and the blacks. the head of
the police department. acting upon
instructions given tim by police COM
mtssioners who are cognizant OF the
situation throughout the city, Major
Werner said that he would ask all
OF the theatrical men to withhold the
pictures of the fight for a week or SO.
There has been no serious riot In
the South. and / do not want any
thing no happen that will place a blur
upon the State OF Virginia. Trouble
is likely to start II pictures are shown
in which the negro Is beating the
white man. Reports from other cities
say there has been a night and then
again a fight We want TO keep these
things down in Richmond.
Along about January or February
Of next year we wouldn't object TO the
moving picture men putting on the pic
lures. The sentiment would be dead by
that time"
But while Major Werner says this
there are those who claim That mas
much as the moving picture men pur-
chased the pictures and the motion pic
tare shows here buy these pictures no
law can stop the promoters from ex-
hibiting them.
One thing is certain, II an attempt Is
made to prohibit threatres from show

KEEP GERMANS
OUT Of RUSSIA

ST. PETERSBURG, July s.-Alarm-
ed at the rapid increase in German
population in the Southwestern Rus
sian provinces. a bill. drafted by the
cars cabinet denying Germans the
right to own land in Russia, will short
ly be introduced In the Duma, accoru-
ing to an announcement made o-day
by the leaders
German immigration into Russia
was first approved by the government
because 1t was thought that the set
tiers would raise the level of the Rus
sian peasantry. Instead OF doing this.
however. the Germans. being economi-
cally stronger. drove the Russians out
altogether in many places. In the
province of Volhynia alone Germans
own 100000 acres, preserve all their
national characteristics, maintain rife
clubs and openly speak OF themselves
as pioneers OF German civilization IN
savage Russia
The bill Is so plainly anti German
in it's purposes that a protest from
Berlin is expected.
