For Regulation
 of Dance Halls
FEDERAL DEPARTMENT OF RE.
 CREATION PROPOSED.
AT PURITY CONGRESS
Parental Neglect Declared to Be Big Factor in Ruin of Young Lives School Children Asked for Dimes.

Minneapolis. Minn, Nov. 12.-A de- partment of recreation to combat the evil influence of the dance halls in all cities; federal laws governing di- Vorces and marriages of an interstate nature; a congress of newspaper men 10 discuss methods of governing the discrimination of news relative to the white slave traffic, were among the recommendations offered by Clifford C. Roe of Chicago, in an address be- fore the International Purity Congress, which closed here tonight. MT Roe is the president of the American BlI- reau of Moral Education and was ap- pointed delegate to the congress by Secretary of State William J. Bryan by authority of a joint resolution of the federal congress.
 Dealing with "Whte Slavery"
 The subject of MT. Roe's address was White Slavery and the Best Meth ods of Dealing with the Evil.
 The term white slavery has broad ened greatly in recent years" he said. Tn the past efforts to deal with the social evil problem were mostly reg ulative," the speaker continued. Within the last seven years a new method of dealing with it has been adopted. A scientific study has brought about the adoption of the attitude of constant repression as the immediate method and absolute suppression of commercialized vice as the ultimate ideal
 Parental Neglect a Factor.
 Neglect by the parents in bringing up their daughters is a big factor in the making of white slaves Moth CTS are often too busy attending clubs. theatres and card parties to find time to look after their children. Fathers have a keener interest in their prop critics than they have for the welfare of their daughters They let thfy chill dren grow up like the weeds in the prairie, to care for and look after themselves"
 Farms and Homes as Refugees.
 Farms and homes throughout the country where refuge may be extended to unfortunate women are to be estab- lished by the worlds purity fedora ton. under whose auspices the congress Is held. Five members of the organiza- tion were appointed this afternoon Co study conditions among these women and to establish the refuges. Funds for the enterprise will be raised D. a committee.

OVER TOO FUNERALS
 IN CLEVELAND STREETS
Ohio City Gradually Recovering from
 Effects of Blizzard.

Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. 12.-With the restoring of normal order rapidly pro ceeding and delivery of coal and food supplies beginning, Clevelanders to- night experienced only the inconve- niences resulting from the heavy snow fall. Electric light service to many parts of the city which have been dark for three nights, was partially restored today. Almost all the street cars are running and deliveries of the small amount of mail which has reach ed the city were begun today.
 The menace of the icicles and mounds of snow which festoon all the downtown buildings caused police to be stationed along the streets to warn people to keep out near the curb. Boy Scouts aided in this work. The bright sun today started a comparatively rapid thaw of the snow on the roofs. but small decrease in the depth of the snow on the ground could be no ticed.
 An attempt will be made to open the schoolhouses tomorrow, as janitors ing the buildings warm. The highest point reached by the thermometer to- day was 43 degrees at three o'clock this afternoon a rise of 23 degrees from the lowest temperature at six o'clock this morning.
 More than 100 funeral processlons billed the streets today when for the first time since Saturday undertakers considered it possible to drive to cem- eteries.

LARGE SALARIES PAID
 MOTION PICTURE ACTORS
Some Receive $500 to $1ooo Week Says
 Film Company President.

New York, Nov 12-The so-caIIed moving picture trust, defendant in a government suit has not eliminated competition, according to the testi- mony today of Frank L. Dyer, presi- dent of the General Film company, which with the Motion Picture Patent company and other firms and individ- uals, is accused under the sherman law.
 The General Film company, Dyer said had network of film supply ex- changes across the country. Our competition is live, keen and often bit ter The independent film exchanges are often located in the same building with our offices and frequently they try to get offices on lower floors in order to intercept our customers be- fore they reach us on floors higher up. There are a few cities and fewer ter ritories where our competitors do not reach, but wherever there is a de- mand for their services they are able to serve almost as we'll as we can.'
 Dyer said the company pays motion picture actors and actresses as much as $500 and s1 900 q week We make ridiculous offers 10 get them to work for us" he testified. The competition is also keen for the work of play wrigTts. There is open competition between us and the independent film exchanges. It is impossible for us to unduly raise the price of films, but we do get better prices than the oth- CTS, as a general thing"

Marriage and
 Sunday Laws
CONSIDERED AT STATE CoNGRE-
 GATIoNAL CONFERENCE.
MEDICAL CERTIFICATES
Legislation Requiring Them of Bride grooms Favored-RepeaI of Summer Hotel License Law Desired.

Waterbury. Conn.,, Nov. 12.-The filth annual meeting of the general conference of the Congregational church of Connecticut came to a close here tonight with the adoption of a number of resolutions and an address on ''The Church and the Community" by Prof. William 5. Bailey of Yale university.
 Oppose Commercial Sunday.
 The conference took a decided stand upon the questions of Sunday observ- ance and eugentc marriages. The dele gates unanimously adopted a resolu- tton repudfating the idea of enforcing religious observance by law but call ed upon the state to protect the peace of the day and more effectively to pro- tect the people from the commercial ism of Sunday by unnecessary labor and business, professional games and entertainments"
 Favor Eugenie Marriages.
 The resolution adopted on the mar riage question follows: This confer ence considers that the duty of pro- noting by moral influence the purity of the family and welfare of the home devolves in an especial manner upon the church. Therefore, this conference will look with favor upon legislation forbidding the issue of marriage li censes to men not provided with ade- quate medical certifcation of freedom from communicable diseases"
 State Farm for Drunks Favored.
 Other resolutions adopted put the conference on record as being i'll favor of state farm for drunkards, the linn itation of saloons to one for 1000 peo- pie, and the repeal of the Sunday h- censes for summer hotels.
 Professor Bailey pointed out the so- cial shortcomings of the church and urged the more extensive use of church property for the benefit of the community. He advocates the use of parish houses for dances and the for nation of clubs for girls and boys of the neighborhood.
 T know that they will wear out the carpets he said. but to preserve' it's carpets is not the chief end of the church's existence"
