NO MOVIES FOR GERMAN YOUTH
Government Believes the American
Films Encourage Emigration.


BERLIN. Jan. l7.-Herr Jagow, the
chief of police in fulfilling his role OF
moral guardian of all Berliners. has
issued an edict forbiddng children
under II years OF age to be admitted
to moving picture shows on the ground
that they are too exciting for them and
are likely to have n bad influence,
German ofiicialdom altogether seems
to look coldly on the movies" This
seems to be mainly because many Of
the films present scenes which are re-
garded as encouraging disobedience to
the established authorities. These are
chiefly American, English and French,
The last two are especially condemned
because OF the increasing popular ad-
miration for the freedom of the indi-
vidual In these countries, while the
American and Indian cowboy fighting.
rioting and cowpunching are condemned
as too exciting, We want our chill
dren to become peaceful citizens, not
cowboys" said Herr Jagow.
The children are much chagrined over
Herr Jagow's order. Inquiries as to
the occasion for 1t brought out the
story that some OF the American films
inspired feeling in favor Of emigra
tion In many Germans and II IL per-
haps therein that there Is the main
secret OF the new order.

valued ~ 5000.
Brandt was represented by Carl
Fischer Hansen. who was later con-
victed cf crime, served term in the
peni;entiary and was disbarred. Howard
Cans a former Assistant District At
torney. was in charge Of MIR Schiffs
interests.
Brandt pleaded guilty to the bur
glary charge and was sentenced by
Sessions to serve thirty years. the maxi
mum sentence, in State prison. He
was 20 Years old at that time.
Brandt went TO Sing Sing and later
10 Dannemora. where in 1870? he began
his efforts to gain his freedom lie
appealed first 10 Senator Nelson of
Minnesota. who requested the Swedish
consulate in New York To- take up the
matter other interests were enlisted
and an appeal was made TO Gov. Dix in
1911. who finally appointed Richard
Hand as commissioner TO hold hearings
and report on the appeal for pardon.
II was said that Brandt based his ap-
peal on scandalous story, and Mr..
Stihift to clear up the matter when he
opposed the pardon made public
Brandts letters
In addition to the scandal stoty,
which Brandt admitted in his recent ap-
peal to Gov. Sulzer was untrue. Brandt
sought his release on the ground that
his sentence was much too severe FOR
frst offence and that he had been
led to plead guilty through the repre-
sentation, Of his lawyer that he would
be let off with a years imprisonment.
Meantime those interested in Brandts
case differed among themselves how
TO proceed. and bad legal tangle re-
suited Supreme Court Justice James
W. Gerard granted a writ OF 'nabeas
corpus and ordered Brandts relaese on
the ground that Brandt was improperly
convicted That move halted the Hand
inquiry abruptly and that part o' the
investigation came TO nothing.
Brand, enjoyed fcw weeks OF liberty
under the writ granted by Justice
Gerard and then spent several weeks
in the Tombs after the order had been
reversed by the Appellate DIVISION.
| The case was carried up TO the Court
o. Appeals. which decided last June that
the cour, in which Brandt was tired
had jurisdiction.
These proceedings we're not con-
| cerned in any way with the former
Schift valets guilt or Innocence. In
an attempt 10 go into that side Of the
matter Judge Rosalsky, whose action
| in the Brandt case had been severely
crit, cised, ordered the case reopened
before him in General Sessions. This
move also came TO nothing. as It was
found that Judge Rosalsky did not
have the power to take such action
Brandt went back TO Dannemora. tc
stay there until Gov. Sulzer took ur
| his case.
The charge that Brandt had been the
victim OF a conspiracy and that there
had been many improprieties in con-
nection with his trial and conviction
was placed before the Grand Jury by
District Attorney whitman. After ar
inquiry that lasted nearly two months
the Grand Jury failed to find indict-
ments.
The Grand Jury did. however write
a presentment In which ii found that
Brand. was thief. hut not burglar
Judge T. c. r. Grain refused 70 accept
| the presentment.
