Franklin School, who has charge of TIM
course of public lectures conducted by
the Board of Education, had this tc
say on the subject:
There is no denying the fact thai
the tendency of these places, on the
whole, is bad. The surroundings are
bad, the ventilation is bad, the lights
are bad, and there are violations of the
minor act in many of the theatres.
THE pictures themselves are not
so bad, while some are not what they
might be, yet few films really offend.
What we want, though, is good pic
lures in good clean halls-well venti-
lated halls.
"If the minor act is observed then
children will not steal money to attend
these shows. If the ventilation Is good
they will not endanger their health by
going to them, and If the lights are
good and the pictures good the moving
picture theatres are all right.
1.-The question of ventilation does not
seem to be sufficiently understood by
parents. In the second course of pub
lie lectures 1 will insist on proper ven
~tilation of the rooms in which they are
given and will not permit the tempera-
ture of the room to be above sixty
five degrees. | will ask that the win
dows be opened before the lecture be-
gins and that all possible precautions
be taken. | have already sent out cir
culars to this effect and will send out
another in the near future.
THE Board of Health, it seems to me
should have some supervision in the
matter of ventilating the moving pic
ture theatres. At the present time 50
many of the public halls and buildings
are poorly ventilated. We find this il
churches as well as theatres.
Ventilation is a great subject, be-
cause it means health. and something
should be done to safeguard the health
of the community"

MAINE WRECKED
BY SPANISH MINE
Government Report Justifes
Stand by U. S. in War
of 1898.

WASHINGTON, Dec. s.-An out
side explosion, meaning a Spanish
mine. blew up the battleship Maine
In Havana harbor, according to the
report of the Vreeland Board of In
curry. This is the official report, which
is unanimous, to President Taft.
For the present Mr.. Meyer limited
official statements regarding the vree-
and report to the following brief sum-
mary:
The re finds that the injuries to
the bottom of the Maine were caused
by the explosion of a charge of a low
form of explosive, ex ,rior to the ship
between frames % and 81, strake, B
portside. This resulted in igniting and
exploding the contents of the six-inch
reserve magazine, tn contents includ-
ing a large quantity of black powder.
The MOI or less com olete explosion
of the contents of the remaining for
ward magazines followed. The maya
zine explosions resulted in the destruc-
ton of the vessel"
The most striking difference between
the finding of the Vreeland board and
that of the Sampson board, as far as
comparison of the two is possible, with
only the brief summary made public, is
in regard to the supposed position of
the mine. The Sampson board fixed
the position of the mine at about frame
eighteen. The Vreeland board puts it
between frames twenty-eight and thir-
ty-one, a position very considerably
forward of that estimated by the Samp-
son board. Both boards agreed in the
opinion that the mine exploded on the
port side.

ALL YOU NEED IS A

No Sick Headache, Bilious
Stomach, Coated Tongue or
COnstipated Bowels by
Morning.

Turn the rascals out-the headache,
the %biliousness, the indigestion, the
sick, soul stomach and foul gases
turn them out tonight and keep them
out with Cascarets.
Millions of men and women take a
Cascaret now and then and never know
the misery caused by a lazy liver.
clogged bowels or an upset stomach.
Don't put in another day of distress.
Let Cascarets cleanse and regulate
your stomach; remove the sour, undi-
gested and fermenting food and that
misery-making gas; take the excess
bile from your liver and carry out of
the system all the d-ecomposed waste
matter and poison in the 'ntestines and
bowels. Then you will feel great.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
~straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep. A Decent box
from any drug store means a clear
head and c~heerfulness for months.
Children love to take Cascarets be-
cause they taste good-never grippe or

FOUND GUILTY OF KILLING
CAR INSPECTOR BY PUSH.
Elizabeth Prisoner Appears in
Court on Clutches.

ELIZABETH, Dec. 9.-Joseph Flana-
gan was convicted of manslaughter
last night after the jury had deliber-
ated his case for more than six hours.
The verdict carried with it a recon-
mendation for clemency. He is accused
of having caused the death of Trolley
Inspector John R. Miller by pushing
him from a car the night of October IS.
Flanagan denied hat he had pushed
Miller from the car and swore that he
did not lay hands on the inspector. He
said that both of them fell from the
car. The defendant appeared in court
on clutches and was nervous through
out the proceedings

At the present time the ventilation
in most of the theatres is bad; an in
spection trip disclosed this. 1t Is also
certain that 80 per cent. of the theatres
are dark and, therefore, according to
such men as Judge Thomas A. Davis
and Probation officer Gascoyne, are
places in which vice flourishes.
Because there is no law now on the
statute books to force proprietors OF
film show houses to ventilate their
places and light them properly, promf-
nent men the city over declare h a
the only way to bring this improve
ment about is by arousing the public
to the dangers of these places.
one physician declared that the lack
of proper ventilation is a menace to
health. and besides making some peo-
pie i'll temporarily, is apt to cause in
fictitious diseases to spread. This ply
sician asked that his name be not used
because 'it would seem like adver-
Using"
ut is an admitted fact, however"
said this physician, that some of the
people who visit these theatres are not
as clean or as healthy as they might
be, and because the ventilation is poor
they are apt to spread disease.
1.-THE darkness has two effects. 1t is
extremely dangerous in case of fire.
and, secondly, acts as a cover for those
who attend these theatres for immoral
purposes"
Rev. DR.. William Dawson, of the
First Presbyterian Church, said today
that he thoroughly approved of the
necessity of emphasizing the fact that
the ventilation is poor. and in that way
interesting the proper authorities in
the matter.
DR.. Dawson also advocated a mu-
censorship and the better light
ing in all theatres. He was of the
opinion that the pictures are here to
and can do a great deal of good

128 ARE CALLED
IN THE INQUIRY
Of OYNAM|TERS

Namara's private books and papers.
That the latter reveal an amazing
chain of evidence of dynamite plots,
the very boldness of which ought to
have made them comparatively easy
to run down, was stated by a mar who
read some of the Mcnamara private
correspondence.
The evidence, it is said, will connect
heads of local ironworkers' unions in a
number of cities with the dynamite
plots.
There is said to be correspondence
between Mcnamara and members Of
the organization in which the plans
for dynamiting property were so thin
~ yelled that any one could have
seen the purpose if the letters had gone
astray.
Heads of local organizations seem to
have learned in some manner hat men
higher up" in the organization not
only condoned dynamiting and destruc-
ton of property to gain the ends sought
by the union, but that some of them
were ready to aid in carrying out the
destruction

May Begin Terms Today.

Why beklh TIL AOu"S'
LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dec. 9.-The
Mcnamara brothers probably never
will testify before the Federal grand
jury here.
1t was announced that after the ses-
sion today the grand jury, which is In
quiring into the alleged dynamite con-
spiracies, would not again I'M
til next Tuesday, and it was said to be
certain that by that time James B. and
John j. Mcnamara will have begun at
San Quentin State prison their sem
fences of life Imprisonment and fifteen
years, respectively.
Their emphatic declaration that they
would not divulge what they know of
the alleged conspiracy is said to have
resulted in a plan to take the McNa-
maras to the State penitentiary either
today or tomorrow.
Scores of witnesses appeared in town
today in response to summonses, of
which there were 1913 issued within the
last few days. 1t is known that most
of the San Francisco labor leaders will
be asked to appear before the grand
jury here.
The names of those summoned have
not been given out, but it is under
stood that among them are Olaf A.
Tveitmoe, treasurer of the State Build
ing Trades Council; Antoine Johann
sen, organizer of the same organiza-
ton, with headquarters in San Fran
cisco; Andrew Gallagher, secretary of
the Central Labor Council of San
Francisco; J. e. Munsey, business
agent of the International Association
of Bridge and Structural Ironworkers
at Salt Lake City; H. S. Hockinh a
member of the executive board of the
same organization, and p. ]. Smith,
business agent of the same union at
Cleveland.
More from McManigal.
Though Ortie L. McManigal for two
days has been before the grand jury,
the probabilities are that he has not
finished his testimony.
With the trial of A. B.. Maple, Bert
Corners n p. Ira Bender, charged
with attempting to blow up the Hall
of Records in August, 1910. postponed
until January 4, the only thing re-
naming here pertaining to the Nc
Namara case besides the grand jury
investigation is the case of Bert H.
Franklin, charged with having bribed
a prospective juror for the Mcnamara
trial.
Both District Attorney Fredericks
and Assistant District Attorney Ford
today declared that Franklin probably
would plead guilty. The preliminary
examination of Franklin will be con-
tinued on Monday.
