SUGGESTION BY
CENSOR BOARD
Amendment of State Law to
Allow Children at Moving
Picture Shows.
MAY TAKE SOME ACTION
President Walker Heartily
in Favor--Mhen Board Ap-
proves the Films SheWn.

Contending that a majority Of mo-
tion pictures displayed in this city are
of a high grade, decent, moral and
possess educational values that would
be Of benefit to children as well as to
adults, President Joseph F. Walker of
the Board of Censors declares there
should be change in legislation to ad-
NIT children under the present age lin
it to see pictures in places where all
films have been approved by some eff
cient board.
In the city of Geneva, Switzerland,
where there are 10000 inhabitants
and ten regular motion picture estab-
lishments, a law has just been passed
to prevent school children from at
tending these theatres unless accom-
panied by their parents or guardians.
Exception is made of theatres in which
all the films shown have been approved
by the Board Of Education. Inasmuch
as the local board Of censors Is COM
posed principally of school heads, he
states it would be well to have such an
exception apply to the present law con-
cerning minors in cases where all pie.
lures have been approved by the board
Ul CtueOTbs IuI. Wdlh6T lHConuS 10
urge the board to fight for legislation
on this subject.
A majority Of pictures seen In this
city have been fit for children Of most
all ages to view, it is declared. Mr..
Walker says he has often walked out
Of a motion-picture, house and thought
1t shame to see children standing
about unable to enter because of the
law, despite the fact that good pic
lures which were of educational value
were being shown.
The subject will be taken up at a
meeting of the Board of Censors, sched-
uled to be held the latter part Of this
month. Mr.. Walker will endeavor to
interest the other members of the board
with view of having the board fight
for change in legislation to permit
children to see proper pictures, whether
accompanied by adults or not.

BURGLARS LEFT
NO REAL CLUE
Police Surprised That
Thisvss Entered Singer
JsweIry Store So Easily.
LIST OF GOODS TAKEN
Matchman Discharged TIVE
Weeks Aqo--No One Heard
Robbers Break In.

The police have as yet no clues
which might lead to the apprehen-
sion of the robbers who looted the
jewelry store of /. Singer Wednes-
day night. Like Mr.. Singer, they
declare 1t a mystery how thieves,
seemingly amateurs at that, could
break into the best guarded store in
the city, as it is claimed. They can
readily see how entrance was made,
but wonder how the thieves worked
as much as they did, unheard.
Entrance was gained from the
rear. A plank was first broken loose
from a step and that was used in a
vain endeavor to force a bar from
an iron CRATE over h window. A
Yale and Townsend lock was then
forced from iron doors leading to
an areaway. In that way the cellar
was entered The culprits made
vain attempt to force open an iron
door at the top of the interior cellar
stairs. They then tore some wains-
coating boards from under the east
erly show window and crawled up on
the store floor.
Mr.. Singer claims he was in a
large measure responsible for the
robbery because he neglected to bolt
the cellar door at the top Of the
areaway. He declares extra iron
doors will be put in place and CRATES
will be installed so that 1t will be
made doubly difficult to enter the
store after this He had thought
the store burglar-proof, especially
from amateurs. and the police de-
clare he has often boasted to them
that they need not watch the store
as 1t was well guarded. .....
The articles reported stolen by
Mr.. Singer are: twenty-five mems
watch chains stamped Simmons,
ninety gold-flled wedding rings,
three Elgin mems watches with
nickel cases, seventy chased gold
filled rings, twenty mems silver
rings, five rosecup watches. Ave
mems New Era watches, one glass
watch, one picture watch, twenty
four Imperial Parker fountain pens
NO. and 5, thirty ladies' Tiffany
ring mountings Of fourteen karat
gold, two match cases stamped Bris-
tol Silver, five pairs of gold-hlled
cuff buttons, $50 gold-filled tie pins,
five New England Watches one
broad bracelet with three
stones, Iady's ring with two pearls,
one missing, a stretching bracelet,
FIVE watch charms, five solid gold
mems ring mountings, a black grip.
The jewelry was evidently carried
away in the latter.
