The moving picture is the. latest

The moving picture is both an
accident and slow growth. It
was born" they tell us, away
back in 1872 as the result of
wager between Leland Stanford,
governor of California, and Fad
weard Muybridge, an English
man, as to whether a horse ever
has four legs off the ground at
the same time, while running.
To settle the wager a test was
made at Stanford's 'Palo Alto
ranch. Twenty-four cameras
were placed side by side along the
race course. Silk threads attach
ed to each camera shutter were
stretched across the road. AS the
horse raced by he broke the
threads; opened the shutters, and
literally photographed himself "a
times.
Hurdles were set at given dis
tances for the horse to jump. The
result was a series of pictures
showing each movement of the
horse. The test decided the ques-
ton that no animal has all its feet
off the ground at one time except
when jumping.
But it also suggested to Muy-
bridge the possibility of showing
pictures in motion. He put his
"a separate pictures into an old
fashioned "zoetrop;" a cylinder

cording to an agreement reached by
the House leaders yesterday afternoon.
General debate will close tomorrow
and the bill will then be taken up
under the five-mfnute rule.
During the debate yesterday Repre-
sentative Prouty of Iowa, republican
insurgent. aroused democratic applause
by declaring his intention to support
the bill. He Justified his action on the
ground that he always had favored
a tax on incomes, because lit placed
the burden of taxation on the should
ers of those best able to bear it.
Later democratic applause was renew
ed when Representative Jackson OF
Kansas. republican, announced he
would vote neither for nor against the
bill.
The specter of socialism was paraded
by Representative Garrett OF Tennessee.
democrat who argued that the growth
of that party and the spread of socialis-

rest of the people under taxation and the
ineouitable distribution of such taxation.
The spread of socialism in this coun-
try is alarming he said. Tired of
empty promises and Of political leger-
demain, the people have gone to the
other political extreme and are taking
up theories foreign to our national policy
and integrity. The people have grown

u
=
Saws New York HoId-Ups Re-
suit From Abandonment of
/ Photographing System.

+ To the abandonment of the policy OF
photogra phing> OF criminals in New York
II largely due the recent crimes. chiefly
In the way of hold-ups, in the metropolis,
according to Police Chief Richard Syl-
vester. At q recent meeting of the New
Jersey ChiGs of Police Association, held
In Elizabeth. N. J., Maj. Sylvester said:
There are those who decry the photo
graphing Of criminals. who attack the
metric measure system, and who raise
the question Of constitutional rights, but
at the same time am bold to admit that
the recent crimes in New York can be
attributed to the fact that the photo
graphing OF criminals-of the man who
would kill your family and rob your home
and assault your person on the highways
has been abandoned.
These men do not fear, for they will
not be shown up to old and valued de-
tectives. These men have no fear Of
detection, for they gather about them
selves q feeling Of immunity.
"Say what you phase, l assert without
fear OF contradiction that these methods
have grown to be the most successful
preyentives of crime outside Of individual
force.
"Pohcemen are underpaid and their
work Ia not always appreciated. Those
retired should be provided for. and those
who die in the performance of their duty
should have their families looked after.
Not to do this means the making Of a
politician out of q police officer"
