ed in behalf of the Christian Endeavor and EpWorth league societies of the town. He made an earnest plea to con- serve the good morals of the town, to Keep the reputation of the town good. The other clergy spoke in like senti- ment, expressing the sentiment of their churches against giving the license. some said that Westerly had acquired bad reputation from wood alcohol cases, and If the fight pictures were snoWn the town would be further dis graced.
 Superintendent of Schools M Holmes spoke against the pictures in behalf of the school children
 Mrs. Dr. Waite presented a petition rom the Avondale branch of the Wom- ans Christian Temperance union pro- testing against the granting of the license.
 MT. Bliven alone spoke in favor of the show, claiming that the sentiment against the pictures was purely on the colored question and that it was prompted by the same spirit which caused the stoning of Rhode Island regiments when they passed through Baltimore at the time of the Civil war MT. Bllven as manager claimed that the council had no authority to revoke his yearly license, which he claimed covered the whole year.
 G. B. Utter said that he saw the pictures and that they were not at all bad. These two were only ones pro- testing.
 In rebuttal to MT. Bliven's claims. Rev. MT. Peacock and Rev. MT. Jones spoke.
 Four members of tho council seemed reluctant to take vote on the question but voted to adjourn. The town so- licitor. MT. Agard, advised the council that under the circurn starces Mr. Bliven, the manager of the onera house. had no license to give the nov Ing pictures of the Jeffries- Johnson fight. When asked what he would do in case MT. Bliven exhibited the pie lures without a license he advised that 1t was up to the police committee to decide the n,atter. The public senti ment as indicated by the presence of clergymen and others seemed to be opposed to the showing of the pictures It IS probable that MT. Biiven will de- eide not to give the pictures.
