LOUISIANA WANTS NO
MORE NEW YORK BABIES

A question of heredity which has so
far puzzled some of the deepest stu
dents of the problem is involved in the
recent announcement from Baton
Rouge, La. that the state board of
health is determined to put a stop to
the Importation of New York babies
for distribution in that state because
of the danger to the community from
accepting infants of whose ancestry
nothing is known, says the New York
Tribune. The health officers of the
state are not among those who believe
that almost any tendency in a child
may be eradicated by proper training,
and the superintendent of the state
insane asylum says:
"DEEDS OF DEGENERACY,
The deposit of these helpless little
creatures, coming possibly from tainted
progenitors, in our midst is simply
planting the seed of greater degenera-
tion. more detectives, idiots, imbeciles,
and alcoholics. and tends to demoraliza-
tion and heart aches in homes where
the babies are located"
If the danger is as great as the Loui-
siana authorities appear to believe. the
state Is entirely justified in the stand
1t has taken, just as surely as this
country is justified in keeping from it's
shores those who are not both reason
ably bright and reasonably healthy; but
1t is to be hoped that the situation is
not so grave as the superintendent of
the insane asylum supposes.s 1t seems
possible that southern conserva tism,
aptly characterized in the remark of a
Georgia clergyman that the children
of the newcomer there might hope to
be accepted in the best set If they
proved themselves deserving of the
honor, has stood so straight that it
leans backward.
MANY PROVE CREDIT
Many of New York's uncared for
children, transplanted to other states
under favorable conditions, have not
only been a credit to their foster
parents, but have served their fellow
men with more than ordinary success
We believe that the records of the
societies responsible for the placing of
these children contain ample evidence
% prove at least that whatever danger
exists is greatly exaggerated. and that
to deprive childless homes of the chill
dren which have in so many instances
been warmly welcomed by prospective
foster parents is not only entirely un-
necessary but contrary to the best in
terests of both the childless adults and
the parentless infants The need of the
work thus being done is so great that
Louisiana's verdict should not be ac-
cepted without better evidence to back
ii up.

Police Have Power

Under ordinances 761 and s2s, new
series of the board of supervisors OF
San Francisco the police are empow-
cred to stop any portrayal of a crime
by means of pictures. Governor Gillett
and the authorities have held that a
prize fight is a crime in California and
under that ruling we are in a position
to stop the exhibition Of the fight pic
lures It is contrary to public morals
TO have the pictures exhibited and
there is the further danger that II the
pictures were shown they might incite
race feeling or lead to a race riot The
mayor and the governor seem In mar
Ynony on the question of the fight and
the fight pictures
while do not like to predict what
action may be taken by the board when
we meet on next Monday | think l can
say that believe the commission will
send a request TO the chief Of police
that the pictures be prohibited in San
Francisco
In answer 10 Norman Halls argument
that the pictures might be stopped, as
they would be the portrayal of crime,
Attorney William K White for the
moving picture trust replied that they
would not be the portrayal of crime,
as the fight was fought in Nevada,
where it was not crime. However,
White did not think that the company
would make an effort to force the pic
lures into the city-at least not for
the present.
Mrs. Malloye said: The recon-
mendation of the mayor to prohibit the
Jeffries- johnson fight pictures will very
likely be upheld. The pictures may
well be considered Objectionable. 1t

our practice heretofore has been to see

Plans Made to Exhibit
The motion picture people, accord
ing to Norman Hall. had already made
plans for exhibiting the films of the
Reno fight in this city. Hall said that
the Novelty theater had been secured
and the pictures would first have been
shown there before they were released
to the regular houses. The Novelty
prices would have been 81 and so
cents seat. The pictures would have
been on special exhibition for several
weeks before the release to the regu-
lark moving picture showhouses.
1t was predicted that the moving
picture people would make s1.000.0o0
on the Jeffri s-Johnson fight pictures.
So large was the enterprise considered
that the trust" and the "independ-
ents Joined forces on the proposition
rather than bid themselves to death in
their negotiations with the promoters
and principals of the fight The COM
bination gave 100000 for the motion
picture rightss. This sum was cut up
three ways. Johnson and Jeffries each
got one-third of the amount, and Tex
Rickard and Jack Gleason had a one
sixth interest each. making the other
third. Gleason held to his sixth. but
the others sold their interest, Jeffries
parting with his last one-siXth for
s16,es6.66 just as he entered the ring
on the eventful fourth of July.
The interests in the pictures is said
now to be divided as follows: The
trusts one-half. Tom O'Day one-third
and Jack Gleason one sixth. OF the to-
tai sum the Independents hold one
third. The trusts are combined under
the name of the Moving pictures patent
company of New York. 1t controls the
Edison patents. Ten large film COM
panies are in the trust, amDng them
