at last On May United States Judge
Killetts, sitting at Toledo, o., had before
him Charles Z. White, manager of the
Lyceum -Scemograph company Of Chi
cago. White was charged with violating
an injunction issued to Klaw & Erlanger
by United States Judge Lacombe, and
subsequently affirmed by the United states
circuit court OF appeals, restraining the
Kalem company from producing Ben
Hur," or pictures of the same or any color
able imitation of the book or play. He
was found guilty and sentenced to jail i'm
prisonment for a term of sixty days.
This is the opening gun in a campaign
instituted by Klaw & Erlanger against the
motion picture pirates. AS fast as viola
lions Of this most sweeping injunction are
reported, instant arrest and prosecution
will follow. Judge Killetts action clearly
indicates that it is the intention of the
court to deal out terms OF Imprisonment to
all found guilty of violating the Injunction
The case of Klaw g. Erlanger against the
Kalem company was bitterly fought and
the injunction was issued only after a
series of exhaustive hearings and argu-
ments. 1t resulted in a complete victory

attorneys and the cose IL now pending.
The court will be urged to inflict even
longer sentence in this case than in the
case Of White referred to above. There
will be no let-up in this campaign. Klaw q
Erlanger have determined to stop this form
of fraudulent amusement and It is quite
evident the United States courts have
placed an ugly weapon in their hands
Their agents everywhere have been
ordered TO institute criminal proceedings
instantly upon the discovery Of any viola

the United States courts TO inflict prison

Plans for the opening of the open air
camp for babies will be considered at the
meeting of the Visiting Nurse associ alton
Wednesday morning, May II. The date OF
the opening depends upon weather condl-
lions, but probably will be June 1. The
camp will be maintained as last season
on the hill north of Riverview park. Mrs
Luther Kountze who was largely respon-
sibe for the institution of the camp last
season, has charge of the plans for this
year.
The Social Settlement is planning for
the summer camp which it hopes to hold
this year in July--near Prizes lake The
first funds for the establishment Of the
camp were obtained by an entertainment
given Wednesday evening at Turner hall
by the young people of Kountze Memorial
church and also by the members of the
Settlement Social club.
An excellent musical program was given
by the young people from the church un-
der the direction OF Or. e. A. Van Fleet
The dance which followed was the first
which the social club had given. The
function was such a success that the club
hopes to repeat it soon.
Another entertainment being planned
may possibly be In benefit OF the summer
camp. This is the childrens entertain
ment which is to be given some time IN
June 1t will be an outdoor play and the
question of where 1t can be best given il
now being considered by a committee OF
which Mrs. K. A. Benson is chairman.
Possibly the play will be held in one of
the parks. Rehearsals are now under way
under charge of Miss Mary Wallace.
/ The camp, which was held for the first
time last summer, needs many supplies for
its establishment this year. Tents, cots,
blankets and money with which to pro-
wide provisions are the necessities for
which the entertainments are being
planned.
The kindergarten school which the set
Element is conducting at the Chapel OF
the Carpenter is growing in popularity
with children OF kindergarten age. A pic
mic was the program for Wednesday and
the class of eighteen little people spent
the morning studying the wonders OF
Riverview park. Miss Clara Schasffer
head resident. and Miss Louise Lord, one
OF the volunteer teachers were in charge
of the expedition to the park.
