moving pictures became thing or the
mast in the United States when the
house passed a senate bill prohibiting
the TRANSFORMATION Of such moving pic
ture films between the various states
and territories or from foreign coun-
tries. Heavy fines for violation or the
proposed law are fixed by the bill. The
president Is said to be in complete
sympathy with the legislation, and is
expected to affix his signature 10 the
measure. Southern members OF con-
gress were especially interested In the
proposed law because Of the race reel
ing stirred UP by the exhibition OF the
Jeffries- Johnson moving pictures In
their sections of the country. Senator
simmons Of North Carolina and Rep
resentative Sims of Tennessee pressed
the bill in the senate and house.

Senator Works added that whether he
would vote for Roosevelt depends on
how he is nominated and whether ne
runs as a Republican" He further said
that he felt he could las a Progressive
Republican vote for Wilson consistent
ly if no Republican other than Taft is
nominated"

And as If that were not enough, Mr.
Churchill told the house that If the in

considerable naval program proved to
be true lit will constitute naval fac
