 If ft is against public morals and Gecency to have prize fights in our state. in my opinion the public exhibi- ton in the state of moving pictures of 2 prize fight would be much more ob- 5ecxionable than the fight itself, be- cause it would reach and demoralize a much larger class of individuals. in cfu6ing children, and the exhibition concerning this particular fight would De attended with other features which should be prevented
 Suggestion to Prosecuting Officers.
 Tt Is Illogical to prohibit prize fights as against public morals and nor prohibit the exhibition Of moving pictures of a prize fight
 I urgently suggest to the proper au- rho-irieS Of the cities and borOughs in the Scats that ordinances which will prevent such exhibitions be enforced, 1 and myself request prosecuting off i cerz throughout the state to take all i measures provided by law to prevent i such demoralizinE and dangerous ex- hibirions-"
