DAWSON'S IDEA.
Maps Out Relief Program to Censor
Movies by Ross.

Attorney General John S. Dawson
today gave out a program of relief for
State superintendent Ross in the work
of inspecting moving picture films He
suggests that the state superintendent
send to the county superintendent of
the state a distress call, urging them
to watch the movies" and to notify
him of any immoral pictures. Films
inspected by Superintendent Ross, the
attorney general suggests, may be on
printed reviews furnished by the dis
tributorS.
The attorney general declares that
but 100 films come into Kansas each
week. Figures furnished last week by
the film house representatives, show
ed that about 500 new films were sent
to the state each week. In either
event it is a big job for one man to
censor all of the films. So Dawson to-
day mapped out q plan of relief

FOR LONG SESSION
Democrats Believe Extra Con-
gress VIII Be Prolonged.
Other Matters Beside the Tariff
to Be Taken Up.

Washington, March 24-Democrats
express the view that the extra session
of congress will be a prolonged affair.
This was on the assumption that Pres
ident Wilson would recommend to con-
gress consideration of the currency
question as well as perhaps other
matters of pressing Importance in
solar as their discussion would not
interfere with the rights of way of
tariff revision. The president has in
he will urge other needed legislation
when the tariff is out of the way. Con-
sideration of currency and other Ques-
lions might carry the session well into
the autumn.
Democratic Leader Underwood is
known to believe that the tariff will be
disposed of in the house by May 1 and
by both houses by July 1. Speaker
Clark said if only the tariff were
taken up congress could adjourn the
middle of August, while other leaders
predicted that tariff revision would be
ready for the presidential approval by
August I.
IF the president should send IN mes
sage recommending action on other i'm
portant matters than the tariff" said the
speaker I have no sort of doubt that
congress would take UP these matters.
good majority members of the house
want to go right into general legisla-
ton. good many other members be-
lieve that the extra session should be
confined to the tariff. In the three
special sessions called to revise the
tariff, in which have served, the work
was confined largely to the tariff.
barring such routine matters as
naturally come up"
The big problem with which the house
ways and means committee majority
now is wrestling is the income tax.
Three points especially are being con-
sidered, the amount of income exemp-
lions, the rate of tax, including the
question OF graduation or straight tax
and collection. The Wilson act of 1888
the last Democratic tariff, made 81, 900
as the minimum taxable income, which
some Of the revisionists argue was
really equal to S., 600.

HYDE JUROR DIES.
c. c. SpangIer Is Believed to Have
Been Slugged.

Kansas City, Mo-, March 24.-C. c.
Spangler, juryman in the third trial
of DR.. B. Clarke Hyde, and who was
found in a street the morning after the
close Of the trial, apparently slugged,
died yesterday at the General hospital,
where he was taken after being picked
up. The jury, of which Spangler was
a member, failed to agree as to the
guilt or innocence of DIR. Hyde, WHO
was charged with the murder of Colonel
Thomas H. Swope, millionaire Kansas
City philanthropist.
Spangler never sufficiently regained
his senses, it was said at the hospital,
to tell what had happened to cause his
injury He talked enough to admit
that he had taken a few drinks after
his release from the jury Monday. De-
tectives believe he was robbed of his
juror fees that he had drawn, but have
been unable to locate persons who are
believed to have been with Spangler
Monday night.
Spangler was a painter. He had a
brother, John Spangler, at Abilene,
Kan.
