BUCK|NCHAM'S ATTITUDE ON FIGHT PlcTURES Sensible Views entertained By City's Chief Execu-
 tive Sound Public Opinion Should Guide Authorities Who Have Discretionary Power.

When asked if he would permit the pictures of the Johnson -Jeffries fight to be shown in Bridgeport, Mayor Buckingham said:
 ''In the state of Iowa the exhibi- tion Of such pictures is forbidden by statute.
 ''In this state there is no such law. I presume that the rule is that there should be as little interference as pos sible by the authorities with things that are lawful.
 "Yet, undoubtedly, in the matter of these pictures the authorities have discretion. Tais discretion should be exercised in accordance with sound public opinion, and I believe that it will be-"
 Regarding the claim that the exhi- bition of the pictures may cause race riots, Mayor Buckingham said: NO race riots are to be feared in Bridge port. Our negro population is sen- sible and law abiding. They under stand all that talk about the fight settling a question of race supremacy for what it was-just advertising.
 "Jeffries is not the first white an who has been knocked out by a negro, nor is Johnson the last negro who will be knocked out by white man.
 Until our negro brethren begin to surpass us in the invention and per lection of the modern implements of warfare, they will not claim race su- premacy and we will not fear change in the existing status.
 '.One able bodied tiger in a "A foot ring with Johnson, or Jeffries,. would find little difficulty in disposing Of either in a combat by brute strength.
 "But give either man a W1nches- ter Rifle loaded with a cartridge made under the direction of Jerome Orcutt in the plant of the U. M. c. Co.,, ana the hide of that tiger will be made into a rug.
 "A prize fight in the show house or race supremacy is like the first steam engine, 8 mere display of an obsolete form of settling disputes.
 t"The first engine and the first steam boat are interesting because they show the beginnings of locomotion and how poorly the thing used to be done.
 Hand to hand combat with fists IS about as stimulating.
 "A fist is poor thing beside a Maxim machine gun. And l noted" concluded the mayor, with smile, s'that before the sports were admitted at Reno, they had to leave their guns outside"

ture.
 MT. Flames said this morning that the building occupied by the foundry is going to be utilized for depart ments that will employ many more men than the foundry did. He was not at liberty to make public the nature of the new departments. He said that the closing of the foundry was not new, as the company had been six months winding up it's af- fairs.
 The reason for the change is that the foundries of the Singer Mfg. Co at Elizabethport are located at tide water and coal and iron ore are brought there a great deal cheaper than they can be brought to Bridge port. The raw materials are uu- loaded at the door of the New Jersey plant.

Taunton, Mass, July 6.-Mayor William S.

 Chairman Reynolds of the police board of St. Louis announced today that he would call a special meeting of the board for tonight and prevent the exhibition of the pictures in that city.

The District Court Of Appeals has
set aside the Judgment NJ S156,317.35
awarded William F. Ambrose, as re-
ceiver Of the First Cooperative Build
ing Association Of Georgetown,
against Jchn Barton Miller, its secre-
tary- treasurer, whose accounts are de-
clared to have shown deficit of that

In an opinion rendered today by As

Justice Wright. of the District SUI

Wright, when the case came TO trial
set aside the plea entered in behalf
Of Miller by his attorneys, Henry +
Davis and John +. Laskey, and order
ed Judgment entered against their
client.
Without considering the other
grounds for argument stated in the
margin of the demurrer, we conclude
the defendant was entitled 20 leave 70

judgment against him was erroneous
