CENSORED MOTION PICTURES.

The amendment to the Folks Motion Pic
tute ordinances so eloquently urged by Cam
on Chase, providing that the Board 81 Edu-
cation censor films before their exhibition
before children III this city, has been passed
by the Aldermen, together with the proyi-
slons for better lighting, heating, ventilation
aud fire protection of the theatres. Important
exemptions from the structural requirements
have been made for the benefit of existing
theatres. Whether these will work to favor
a monopoly from which future builders Of
motion picture theatres will be excluded be-
cause of the expense of the added require
ments is an open question. Ii Mayor Gay
nor signs the bill the question will be settled
by a test.
About the censorship of the films many
good people have conflicting opinions. All
are agreed that immoral pictures should not
be exhibited. Tho unofficial censorship is
weak. But the sponsors for the Folks ordi-
nances say that the Mayor may at amy time
suppress pictures complained Of and revoke
the licenses of their exhibitors. Others, not
ably Canon Chase, insist that because of the
Mayors many duties he could give little at
tenlon to possible abuses, that only the
grossest could receive his attention, and then
only after the sins against childhood were
committed.
Then there is the problem that vexes he
minds of thousands OF parents. whether mo-
ton pictures of burglarios, highway robber-
les, and murder, chad boy and "yillaye cut
up" scenes and the like, should be exhibited
to children whose moral training is necessa-

TO depicting these notwithstanding propen-
stiles, which parents are continually striving
to overcome, Canon Chase has but one Opt
Mon of this business. But that question,
too, the Mayor will have 10 decide. 1t may
be said for the Folks ordinances as a whole
that they represent a step in advance toward
the proper regulation Of the. picture theatres.

CITY TO ADMINISTER SERUM FOR
TYPHOID.
Board of Health VIII Inoculate All Who
Apply for Treatment After Jan. l.
Free Cultures For Doctors.
Sanitarians Assert Typhoid Through the
Serum Treatment is as PreventabIe as
Smallpox.

After jan ] the Department of Health of
this city will inoculate all persons who may
apply with anti-typhoid serum in order to
prevent infection with typhoid fever. Com
missioner Lederle says in Bulletin 1872, dated
Dec. IS, that immunization against typhoid
fever, OF the incubation of q healthy person
with sterilized typhoid cultures, has passed
beyond the experimental stage and has be-
CONS established as o prophylactic measure
of proved efficiency.
At a meeting Of the Health Board on
Dec. 10 it was decided to authorize the
performance of immunization against typhoid
by Board of Health Inspectors under con-
ditions similar to those governing the free
administration of diptheria antitoxin. Inoc-
~ulations will be made at the homes of appli-
Giants, or at the central office of the depart
ment, Centre and Walker Streets, beginning
on Jan. l. The culture will be furnished
free also to physicians for their own use.
All requests for immunizntion must he made
or approved by the attending physician.
Requests for incubation cap be made by
telephone or letter to the Division of Com
municable Diseases of the Department of
Health. Immunization will be offered to
all other members of every family in which
a case of typhoid fever occurs. A circular
OF information regarding lmmunlzatlOn
against typhoid has been issued, and a copy
will be sent to every physician in New York
City.
Nearly ali sanitarians and authorities on
communicable diseases agree that the prae-
tice of incubation confers a notable immuni-
ty against typhoid infection, and reduces by
three-uuarters the number of cases of ty-
phoid fever occurring among persons who
hove honn sO imm1niZAd Those familiar
with the practice also state that typhoid

PIANOS PREY FOR THIEVES.
Horse and Truckload Recovered After
Search.

Two men, who are said by the police to
be pictured in the Rogues' Gallery, were
arrested yesterday afternoon on a charge
of stealing three large pianos, q horse and
a truck. all the property of August Rulishe,
of No. 517 West 9th Street. The men were
captured after u Lively chase and locked up
pending examination today.
The truck continuing the three pianos was
left standing in front of the factory in 9th
street yesterday, but one c. the employees,
coming out a few minutes later, found that
it had disappeared. Mr.. Rulishe reported
the matter to the police, and three def &C.
tives were sent out on the case. An hour
later the police got word from an express
man at Sixth avenue and oath street that
two men had called at his place. where they
left a piano, which they told him to sell for
$50, and had driven away with two other
instruments still in the truck.
Three hours later the detectives came
upon the truck and the two pianos in front
of a saloon at No. 200 West 9th stl eet.
Two men were on the truck, and when the
sleuths tried to board it the men jumped off
and ran. They were soon caught, but one

1t has been demonstrated tbarofovo !,

United States that typhoid fever is less inf

mllder course among the sick who have beon

The division OF 1898 has 1903 cases with

AEROPLANE SHELLS CITY.
Yanina Terrorized BY Greek Aviators With
Bombs.

Paris, Dec. ia veIilable hail of bombs
was thrown into the Turkish fortress of va
nina by the Greek military airman and an
accompanying comrade, who yesterday few
over that city i'll All aeroplane, according to
official advlces received here.
The airmap, whose name was Moutoussis,
took a large supply Of bombs with him in
his biplane, and he and the Greek officer
with him hurled these explosive missiles
down on the principal buildings, to which
they caused serious damage. The popula-
tion was terrorized. -
According to the italian Consul at Janina,
who is now at Prevesa, the Turks have alto
gether $50 guns, eighty-six OF which are
fort guns, distributed among the four forts
-Bizani, eight miles to the south; Duruti,
seven miles to the southwest; Sadovitza, four
miles to the west, and Gardinki, seven miles
to the northwest.
The Turkish army is variously estimated
at from $4,000 to 10000 men. It is under
command of Ria Pacha, who got through
from Monastir, and, being the senior, super
seeded the former commander, ESsad Bey.
Bizani is considered the key to Yanina, and
the Greek attack is being pushed home at
that point. BY the employment Of four
6-inch Krupp siege guns the batteries on
the outer positions have been silenced.
Despite the fright given the population of
the city, the fact that it was fortified seems
to relieve the Greeks of any charge Of VIC
lating the agreement unanimously entered
into at The Hague in 1907, whereby only
defended positions can be attacked by an
aerial craft. An attempt was made at both
of The Hague conferences to procure an
agreement whereby any launching of projec-
tiles or explosives from any air craft should
be prohibited, but only a part Of the powers
represented proved ready to agree to this
proposal. ". J. Tribune, Der. 20th.
