CAPITAL MOTHERS FEAR
Film EYESIGHT" SCARE
OcuIists Besieged for Expert Opinion, Declare Good
Moving Pictures Will Not Injure Chdren's Optics

focusing itself when the figures move
rapidly on the screen, and there is no
damage done TO the muscles of this deli
cate organ IL the film is good one. IL
not. there is slightly more danger, as the
eye cannot focus properly, making tho
entire proposition similar to trying to
write while being logged along over u
country road in a wagon.
1T will be years before We can tell
whether moving pictures are injurious to
the eye" said DIR. W. S. Newell last
night. Personally, i do not think there
Is any more danger than in common per-
formances on the stage. The good films
in my opinion can be seen with absolute
safety, but. of course, the poor films are
somewhat more trying on the eyes. Every
day improvements are being made. and
In the near future. / understand, the mo-
tion pictures will be nearly perfect"
DIR. Newell said he had known of per-
sons attending such shows for years
without complaining Of weak or injured

Wants Him to Explain Meaning
of Baseball Law.
CLAIM DAWSON WRONG
Commissioners Say He Is Not
Quoting Right Law.
Billiard Asks for Public Answers
to Queries.

Mayor Billiard and Attorney General
Dawson are in a squabble over the
meaning of the statutes. Despite the
fact that Mr.. Dawson is the head of
the legal department of the state of
Kansas, the mayor of Topeka begs to
take exceptions to what the attorney
general claims in regard to Sunday
baseball and Sunday theaters in this
state.
The city 'Triumvirate," the mayor,
Miller and Stotts, declare that the
hight against Sunday theaters has not
been consistent and that enemies of
Sunday theaters have resorted to 9TH
er things than the law to make a
point.
1t is claimed by these three COM
mlSSlonerS that the baseball case in
the supreme court affects only the
fact that it is legal to play the game
does not affect the labor portion of
the game.
They claim that the attorney gener-
al is fighting the Sunday theater or
dinance on the labor law-which rules
against all unnecessary labor on the
Sabbath. Under this law they claim
1t is as illegal to sell tickets for a ball
game and play ball as it is to sell
tickets and act on the stage.
Il want to ask the attorney general
this afternoon. 81 am not saying that
Mr.. Dawson is not quoting the law
correctly, but there are many people
IN topeka who are not acquainted
with the laws and in order to clear
UP our minds 1 want the attorney gen
eral to answer these questions simply:
why is it that people are allowed
to sell tickets at baseball games and
not at theaters?
why is it that men are allowed to
A@1n &~I-
diamond and actors are not allowed to
come on the stage and go through
their parts?
''The way I understand it this SUI
preme court decision does not concern
professional baseball as it is now
played The decision didn't come un-
der the Sunday labor law-it came un-
der the law which prohibits horse
races ard cock fights on Sundays. In
other words, that decision spoken of
by Mr.. Dawson is the game feature of
a ball game and not the labor of SELL
ing tickets, etc.
''Now possibly Mr. Dawson is right.
But there are hundreds of people in
Topeka who are not able to see the
fairness of this law and 1 ask Mr..
Dawson to explain it in order that all
may know. am as anxious as any
one.
"It will be remembered that the
last legislature refused to pass a law
against Sunday theaters. If there is a
law covering this point now, why did
such a law ever come up? Why did
they attempt to stop this If the stat
utes were specific against it?
"I don't believe there is one bit OF
fairness in the way this fight is being
conducted against Sunday theaters.
But I want it explained to me-and so
do hundreds of people in Topeka who
don't understand"
The open theater ordinance was
passed Monday afternoon.

With Shooting and Killing Dep
uty Sheriff Harp.
CAMERON DAM CASE
Has Been Before the Public a
Number of Years.
1t eliminated in a Gun Fight
Last October.

Hayward, Wis, May John F.
Dietz, his wife and son, Leslie Dietz,
were placed on trial here today before
Judge Alexander H. Reid in the cir
cult court. Thy are Jointly charged
with shooting and killing Oscar Harp,
a deputy sheriff. who was one of a
posse which besieged the Dietz cabin
at Cameron Dam on Thorn Apple
river last October and who was found
dead after a gun fight with the Dietz
family.
There were several warrants out for
John Dietz, who for a number of
years had defied the officers. The
trouble grew out of a dispute with the
Chippewa Boom & Lumber company
which built dam in the Thorn Apple
river near the Dietz homestead. The
flood waters, Dietz claimed, damaged
his land.
He claimed he could not get a salts
factory settlement out of the lumber
company and so he destroyed the dam
and held up a large cut of logs for
year or more. The company was
obliged to haul the logs off with teams
When court opened the Illinois Surety
company of Milwaukee and the in
demnitors who re-insured D1etz's $40, 900
bond, announced that they declined
longer to be responsible for Dietz and
DietZ was given into the custody of
Sheriff Fred Clark.
The bonds of the other members of
the Dietz family have not been re-
VOked.

REVOLT IS SPREADING.
Foreigners and Missionaries Have Not
Been Molested in China

Hong Kong, May 2.-Today's ad-
vices from Canton. where the revolu-
tionary movement originated, indicate
that foreigners have escaped harm
The foreign residential section occu-
pies Shamien, an artificial island at
the north of Canton. A canal separ-
ates the island from the city proper.
Gunboats are anchored in the canal
and guns are mounted on the canal
bank commanding the approaches to
the island.
On Sunday evening the revolution
lists attempted to cross to Shamien for
the purpose of capturing the police
station there. They were repulsed by
loyal troops.
Bandits led by the brigand chief,
LUX, burned four government resi-
dences at Fatshan when they attacked
and looted the town.
Reports from the west river district
are meager, as the rebels destroyed
teiegraphic communication at many
points. 1t appears, however, that WI
Sum, the leader of the anti -Manchu
forces, is working to the westward,
after raiding Sam Shut. Wen Chow,
Woo Chow, Chunglok, Shuihung and
Fatshan. The government seems to
be in control at Canton.
Later dispatches today state that
the anti-Manchu movement has spread
from the West river to the west of
Canton to the north and east through

PROBING BEGINS.
Wholesale Charge of Bribery
Against Ohio Lawmakers
Goes to Grand Jury Instead Of a
Legislative Committee.

Columbus, O., May 1.-The Franklin
county grand jury met today to con-
slider tie wholesale charges of bribery
involving about forty members of the
Ohio legislature. The matter was taken
before the grand jury instead of a legis-
lative probe committee on the advice of
Governor Harmon and others in order
to prevent any accused members from
escaping punishment through the i'm
munity bath. Scores of witnesses have
been summoned and it is expected the
jury may make a partial report some
time tomorrow.
Officers of state organizations inter
ested in legislation before this assem-
bly, have been summoned to tell what
they know of efforts to hold them up
by members. They include officers OF
such bodies as the state board of COM
merce, the Anti-Saloon league, the Per-
sonal Liberty league and heads of large
corporations.
Among other concerns whose officers
will testify is the Cleveland Under
ground Railway company of which A.
B. Dupont, Thomas P. Schmidt and w.
r. Hopkins are officers. Hopkins has
represented the company here in work
ing for the passage of the Cleveland
railway bill
