There is absolutely n foundation
to those charges against me-" said

COMMUTERS NOW
To TAKE ACTION
TO FORGE SESSION
Drastic Means 70 Be Adopted to
Secure Utilities Board With
Matchmaking Power.

Governor Forts decision not to call
a special session of tho Legislature is
final. The Commuters' League of New
Jersey was sc notified In a telegram
sent to Howard Marshall. president of
the league, last night by Leslie R. Fort,
the Governors son and secretary. The
message was sent in response to a
telegraphic inquiry sent to the Gov
ernor on Wednesday asking him II his
published statement vas to be con-
sidered final
MIR. Marshall was reticent about the
matter today, but 1t Is known that
the league has plans for very decisive
action that will be perfected at a meet
ing of the executive committee early
next week. It Is probable hat the Of
hcers will wait until after the argu-
ments before the Interstate Commerce
Commission next Tuesday, and then it
is expected that another massmeeting
will be called and action taken to force
the establishment of a public utilities
commission with rate-madng power
unless some relief is given by the In
terstate Commission, which Is not ex-
pected. The most drastic measures
viii be used to bring about the con-
vening of a special session of the
Legislature.
Terry Parker, counse for the league,
said:
I'm my statement to the STAR yes
terday In regard to the power
of the Legislature to delegate he
rate-making power to the commits
sion I think 1 did not make
clear the full force and effect of the
decision in the matter of Trustees
of Saratoga against the Saratoga
Gas Company in 191 New York 1923.
The discussion OF that case is i'm
portant because the question there dis
cussed involves the power Of the State
Legislature to delegate its power to
fix a rate to the commission.
This Is a different question from
the other method proposed, namely
that of delegating a different power to
the commission, merely supervisory
power, such as we have heretofore sug
gested.
Now, If the Legislature may eve go
so far as to delegate its right to fix
rates within the limitations mentioned
in the case cited, then, Of course, the
Legislature would have the power to
delegate authority to the commission
to pass upon a rate before 1t became
effective.
1.-THE people OF the State of New Jer-
sey are now beginning to be aware Of
the power which could be, and ought
to be, vested in a commission designed
and created for their protection in
these matters; and such a commission
would be especially valuable to the
people, because they would know pre-
cisely whom they could hold RESPONSE
BILE for any failure on the part of the
commissioners to properly exercise the
powers vested in them for the public
welfare.
1.-THE people Of New Jersey are going
to wake up to the fact not only that
such a commission might be estab-
lished, but that they have the power to
establish it; and you may be very sure
that they will do so, and at no very
distant date"

FIGHT PICTURES
ARE LIKELY TO
Be SHOWN. HERE
Neither Mayor, Chief Of Police,
Nor License Committee Seems
to Oppose Films.

Unless some stronger sentiment
against the exhibition of the fight pic
lures is developed than is at present
apparent there does not appear to be
any a why the pictures will not
be shown here. Mayor Haussling Is
not especially interested in the mat
ter and will probably refrain from
taking any action un1ess 1t Is shown
h a the law is being violated and the
proper authorities delinquent in their
duty.
Chief of Police Corbitt has received
no instructions from the commissioners
to prevent the exhibition of the pic
lures. n 1t would involve some fine
shadings of law to determine In what
particular these pictures are any more
Of a violation of tho law than were the
pictures Of the Gans-Nelson fight,
which were shown here the past sea-
son.
The license committee of the COM
mon council, which has tho power to
regulate shows of his kind, would he
the body to look to for any official
action that might be taken, and it is
not by any means certain that the
committee is opposed to the exhibition
of the pictures in question.
Members of the committee who were
interviewed today did not care to go
on record as being in favor of or OPP
posed to the pictures. The sentiment
seems to be that if the public is suffi-
ciently interested to demand that the
pictures be barred the committee will
consider the matter, but they are not
likely to until public sentiment is
shown to be against the exhibition of
the pictures in this city.
1t seems to be the opinion of the
committee that the whole matter is
being given more Importance than it
deserves, and that the race riot agita-
ton that exists in other cities does
not apply here.
1t is not unlikely that some refer
ence will be made to the matter at to-
nights meeting of the common council,
but 1t is not believed hat it will come
up for a vote and will at best be only
informally discussed
The whole situation is summed up
in the assertion that the people in
Newark, as a whole, do not care much
one way or the other whether the pic
lures are exhibited or not, and neither
the license committee or any other city
official is likely to be misled into
represent the feelings of the great rank
and file of the community.
AS the situation exists at present it
looks as though Newark would see the
pictures when the time comes.

House of Commons Against Pictures.

able section of the House of Commons.

Some of the morning papers advocate
a general suppression, as tending to
prevent glove fights. which, they say.
are promoted merely for the sake of
the profits from the pictures. The
question was discussed by the Glasgow
Corporation yesterday.

FILM OWNERS WILL NOT
FIGHT CRUSADERS IN COURTS

CHICAGO, July S.-Stirred by the
growing sentiment throughout the
country against the exhibition of the
Jeffries-Johnson fight films, George
Kleine, William Selig and George A.
Spoor. representatives of the motion
picture syndicate, issued this state
ment last night:
N effort will be made to show the
pictures in n city or town where ad-
verse legislation has been taken. 1t
will not be necessary to get out in
functions, for this combine does not
intend to buck the law in any city or
State. We do not think these pictures
are any different from those which
have been displayed of the Johnson
Burns and Johnson-Ketchel fights, but
If we find that popular sentiment is
against them we will lay them on the
shelf and not show them at ALL"
Unless Chief of Police Steward and
Mayor Busse change their minds, the
pictures will not be barred from
Chicago. While the chief remains
silent on the subject merely saying II
will cross that bridge when l come to
it," 1t is said that personally he does
not think the morals of the city will be
injured by the pictures.
In order to block the pictures the
chief, under the city ordinances, would
have to declare them to be either inn
moral or obscene. Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel Bielman pointed this out
yesterday in an informal opinion pre-
pared at the request OF Corporate Coun-
sci Brundage.
While my opinion said Mr.. Bel
man, is based on a hurried examina-
ton Of the ordinances. / believe that
unless the chief could convince q court
that the exhibition of the pictures
would inJure public morals. or were in
some sense obscene, he couldn't pro-
hibit them. An application for a per-
NIT to show the pictures must be made
first to Chief Steward, and If he turns
the film people down they have the
right to appeal to the Mayor, and II
the Mayor sides with the chief. then,
of course. they a take the matter
into the III and try to mandamus
the city"
