CONDEMN $4,000 FEET OF
MOVING PICTURE FILM

More than $4,000 feet of moving
picture film was condemned during
the past week by Theater Censors
Baker and Potter, who declare that 1t
was the biggest killing" or films
since they started to work.
Nearly all of the picture plays,
which were totally barred from ex-
hibiting In Detroit, were what are
termed state right" pictures. and
some of them were decidedly lurid,
say the censors.
The state right" films, most of
them manufactured in Europe, are
leased to parties who are given ex-
elusive rights for showing them in
certain states. In that way, they do
not always come through the regular
channels, being shipped direct TO the
parties holding the right to exhibit
them, and then sent from state to
state. The local censors, however,
have obtained such good control Of
the film supply that they are given
private demonstrations of all films to
be shown In local theaters, except in
rare instances where the MINIS slip
by
One OF the films condemned this
week showed thrilling duel between
man and woman in a saloon, in
which the plot centered, and another
dealt with the pictured career of
certain dime novel hero, previously
known only to readers of the yellow
backed novels.

signs for the people 10 look out for
trains and the Ike, the signs should
be for the operators OF cars and autos
20 look out for the public. For these
many years there seems TO have been
a. amendment 10 the commandment
which says. Thou shalt not KILL CIV
ing that privilege TO the traction COM
panies and auto drivers. What joke
that was. New York asking Detrdt
how II regulated its auto and street
car traficl The fact OF the matter Is,
We haven't got II regulated. OF course,
the officers on the crossings do good
work, but there is no protection for
the public at many danger points. AT
these unprotected points there should
be a white flag or pillar as danger
signal I'm the day time and a red light
at night. like they have in Chicago.
For the protection OF school children,
there should be signs OF this sort In
the neighborhood OF all schools,
II the city cannot afford to pay for
police officers TO do the work. There
are police officers at crossings In the
neighborhood OF some schools now,
know, but It Is only the schools to
which the children OF rich parents go
that are watched; there Is no pro-
lection for the poor children.
There should be law to prevent
street cars from starting up with such
rapidity as they do now at street
crossings. / also contend that driv-
ers of autos should lose their licenses
on being convicted three times for
violating ordinances. There should
also be a tabulation In the public
press OF the victims of auto and street
cars This might have deterrent eff
feet Preachers could also do lot OF
good by agitating for better protec-
ton laws.
Detroit could we'll afford to take
lessons from St. Paul and Minneapo-
lis on the regulation OF street cars,
and from Pittsburgh on the way to
control autos. In Pittsburgh, as The
Times has already pointed out, the
autos must stop on approaching a
standing street car. And In ST. Paul
and Minneapolis. the doors OF the
cars are controlled by the motorman,
who never allows a passenger to get
OF while another car Is approaching
on another track.
II also wish to suggest that street
cars every second or third one, carry
Jacks, so that victim, under the
fender or wheels, would not have TO
wait long for release"

S3.5OO,OOO WILL Be PAID
IN DIVIDENDS, MONDAY
Union Trust Co. to Lead With
$1,500,00O; Banks Make
Big Distribution, Too

July is one OF the two red letter
days of the year with the investor,
and Detroit enterprises will distribute
over $3,500,000 among security hold
ers on Monday. The largest payments
will be made by the trust companies,
the bulk OF the money being made up
Of payments of interest and principal
on bonds. The Union Trust Co. will
pay out about $1,500,000 including In
terest and principal disbursements,
and the distribution of some syndicate
moneys. The Detroit Trust Co. will
pay out $446,000. and the Security
Trust Co. will pay upward OF 500, 900
In interest and principal on bonds.
The Industrial corporations will al
so make large disbursements on Mon
day, the largest being the quarterly
dividend OF 8 per cent. on Parke,
Davis & Co., amounting to $22S,00O.
Other dividends payable on July 1, or
during the early days OF the month
will bring the total to be paid by the
industrial companies well up TO a mil
lion dollars.
The banks will pay dividends
amounting to more than 100000 on
July l, the largest payment being
made on the stock OF the Old Detroit
National bank, an extra dividend Of
one per cent being added to the regu-
lar two per cent. Dividend figures in
many cases are not available, several
of the large automobile companies
and other large industries not being
shown in the totals because the stock
is closely held These figures would
probably add half million to the to-
tails, and in addition there are num-
erous smaller concerns which make
quarterly or semi-annual disburse-
ments on July l that can be merely
estimated.
Some OF the larger dividends are not
actually paid until later In the month,

DRAIN COMMISSIONER
SAYS TERM is FOUR YEARS
Law is Much Muddled on Point
and Squabble is in Sight
For November

Possession of the $500 a year job
OF county drain commissioners Will not
be finally decided by the November
elections II present indications are TO
be relied upon. Commissioner Grant
takes the position that he was elected
for fouriyears, and that his term still
has two years to run, so that II he Is
successful in his campaign for the Re-
publican nomination for county treas
urer and is elected. he could hang
onto the drain commissioners office
until he would be ready to qualify for
treasurer July /, 1918. Commissioner
Grant holds that until then there
would be no vacancy and could be no
election of drain commissioner.
When told that Atty Gen. Kuhn
had advised Drain Commissioner Ma
than 8. Taylor, of Kalamazoo county,
upon request, that the law had been
changed, and drain commissioners
could hold Office for only two years,
Commissioner Grant said:
"Of course the encouragement Is
supposed to know the law, but | have
had good legal advice that 1t would
be illegal to reduce the term OF four
years for which | was elected. They
can go on and elect drain commits
sioner this fall. IL they choose, but
will not give up this office without a
legal battle, and Will carry 1t to the
supreme court II necessary.
1.-THE act Of 1909 explicitly fixed
the term OF drain commissioners at
four years, though by typographical
error the act as printed says that a
commissioner shall be elected In each
county every second year. In the
original bill as 1t passed the house
and senate, the act read every fourth
year
ITO clear away the contradiction
between the provisions for an cleo
ton every second year and for a
four-year term, the last Legislature
passed an amendment, but instead OF
correcting the typographical error
that had been made, the legislature
changed the law to read that the
drain commissioners term would be
two years instead of four.
This | claim the legislature had
no power to do. II can abolish. an
Office but cannot reduce the term for
which an Official has been legally
elected by the people"
Frank Pallister, of Hamtramck, and
ex-County Surveyor Henry r. Smith
have been mentioned as probable can
dldates for the Republican nomina-
ton for drain commissioner, and will
probably make a contest In the pei
maries. George Holbrook, OF the
county treasurer's office, who was
also mentioned for this nomination,
but decided not to become a candi-
date. obtained an opinion from AS
sistant Prosecutor Paul VOORHEES, to
the effect that the legislatures amend
ment is binding and that the term OF
drain commissioner Is only two years.

Vicksburg Takes Double
Header in Easy Fashion

Before one of the largest crowds
that has witnessed a ball game at
Hamper Park this season, Vicksburg
took both ends of the double header
Saturday and incidentally set the
Woodpeckers back number of pegs
in the percentage column that will be
hard to make up. Some punk ball
playing was done.
Hanks entered for the twirling
stunt for the Woodpeckers in the first
game and was found at inopportune
times for eight hits, two of them home
runs, while three bases on balls serv-
ed to help pile up the final score of
to 2 against us. Lumsford, who
pitched for the visitors did not do
much better, but the hits off him
were scattered.
