BARS JESSE JAMES POSTERS.
Court Orders Proprietor of Picture
Show to Remove Them.

The police regulation placing ban on
theatrical posters depicting scenes Of
crime was enforced yesterday in the
Police Court against Joseph d. Coblentz,
proprietor OF a moving picture establish
ment. 1t was alleged he placed on his
billboards Autographs showing Jesse
James and his gang at work in the far
west, holding up trains, and other robbery
scenes. Coblentz was permitted to leave
the court upon his personal recognizance,
with the understanding that the objec-
tionable posters be removed Immediately.
Attorney Wilton j. Lambert, who APP
peared for Coblentz, argued that the post
ers had q historical value, in that they
represented scenes Of the far west be-
fore the advance of civilization. The
historical value of the posters he de-
clared, counteracted any demoralizing eff
feet they might have on Washington's
youth.
'Ethically. you may be correct" re-
marked Judge Pugh. But 1 hardly be-
lieve young boys of the District would
