Enlarging on his opposition to the sug-

II has hitherto been the understanding

FILM ORDINANCE VETOED.
Mayor Hopes Aldermen Will
Back Down on Censorship.
CAN'T APPROVE REMAINDER
Finds Measure Must Stand or
Fall as a Whole and Says
Safeguards Are Needed.

Mayor Gaynor returned 10 the Board
OF Aldermen. with his veto yesterday. the
moving picture ordinance of Alderman
Folks. He said IL was necessary for him
to veto the entire ordinance because Of
the amendment OF Alderman Bowling
Tammany leader. which created a CEN
sorship over moving picture films under
the direction of the Board OF Education
The Mayor was in favor OF the ordi-
nance as originally introduced. but could
not. he said. veto the censorship amend
ment and approve the remainder He
expressed the hope that the board would
pass the original ordinance. The amend
ment was introduced by Alderman Dowl-
ing with the idea of killing the entire
measure. which is opposed TO the business
interests of Alderman j. j. White, a good
member Of Tammany Hall.
In regard To the necessity of vetoing
the entire ordinance. the Mayor said:
Perhaps | should say | understand that
comparatively few OF your honorable body
are i'm favor of the censorship. Many

necessary FOR the American government
to make a formal announcement 10 pre-
serve the status quo of commercial rela-
tons. Ar old law provides that in cases
where no treaty exists between the
United States and foreign country 10
per cent increase in duties shall be levied
on importatiOns in the vessels OF such
foreign state. unless the President issues
a proclamation announcing that the coun-
try concerned does not discriminate in
tariff duties against tie United States.
Treasury officials will decide in few
days whether it VIII be necessary for the
President to issue such a proclamation.
As TO the issue of eXequaturs 10 new
consuls. authorizing them 10 exercise their
functions the administrative officials here
believe there will be no difficulty in eX-
tending recognition TO the consUls under
the general principles Of international
law.
IL is pointed out that Americans VINO
wish % exclude Russian products may
raise the question as TO the competency
OF consus who act in the absence Of
treaty relations. and of the right OF the
collectors of customs to admit Russian
goods on the basis OF the most-favored-
nation treatment. so that in the end the
American courts may pass on such queS-
tioEs. But the official view is that, so
long as the Russian government refrains
from discriminatory treatment against
American goods exported to Russia. so
long as no attempt is made TO impose
lighthouse and port dues on American
ships entering Russian ports, the American
courts will hold that there is no duty in
cumbent upon the President to apply the
maximum tariff rates to Russian goods
entering America. nor to impose discrm-
inatory tonnage and port dues on Russian
shli ping
The fact that several subordinate
treaties continue to exist Is possibly the
only justification for the continuance of

STANDING OF SWATTERS
Effective Work of Children Engaged
in Crusade.

Most effective work is being done
by the children who are participating
in the fly crusade Of the city health
department. The contestants are not
very numerous not as many as there
should be, but they make up in en-
ergy and activity, Swatting the flies,
while they lack in numbers
Up to this morning the standing
of the various contestants was as
follows:
Catherine Page, 195 400.
Lsola Cockrell, 1900.
Leola Massey, l43,300.
Margaret Schuman, l34,900.
Alton Dodd, 1920.
Helen Carter, $500.
Ruben Heyman, $500.
Ethel lett, 5000.
Walter Sullivan, 5000.
There are number Of other en-
tries in the fly contest, but starting
too late in the month they were un-
able to keep up with the girls lead
ing this months contest. They have
therefore droppej out the contest.
Three boys appeared in the city
health Office today to enter the June
contest, but there is small likelihood
of them swatting enough flies to over
come the lead shown by the figures
above. Next month it is expected
larger number of entranuts in the
contest will make the fly swa.ting
q reil lively one for those interest
ed. About million flies have 50 far
been killed by children in the June
