COUNCILS TO RUSH LOAN
OVER BLANKENBURG'S VETO
Special Meeting to Pass Municipal
Court Ordinance. 20

court ordinance.
Select and Common Councils will meet
in special sessions tomorrow, instead Of
Thursday as originally planned.
The change has beer hastily made to
condemn property at 21st and Race
streets, for the use of the Municipal
Court, failing to become a law.
Mayor Blankenburk returned that ord-
nance to Common Council with his veto
last Thursday. He said the proper place
for Municipal Court buildings should be,
in the interests of economy, adjacent to
the House of Detention. The Mayor de-
nounced the plans of the Municipal Court
as eXtravagant.
Common Council passed the ordinance
over the Mayors veto, barely obtaining
the necessary three-ffth vote. Even Pres
ident McCurdy voiced his dissent of the
costly project.
In order to pass the ordinance both
branches of Council must take action
FIVE days after the veto Is submitted.
Select Council did not meet last week,
and it has now been discovered that
the action of the common branch in
passing the ordinance over the veto
would be Utilized II the select chamber
failed to concur before Thursday.
Both branchs will meet and the ord-
nance providing for the submitting OF
the S11.30O 900 loan for civic improve
ment to the voters in November will
doubtless be passed
AS a result of Mayor Blankenburg's
denuncaton of the 100000 item for
Municipal Court buildings, as extrava-
gance, there may be opposition to that
item in the loan from independent
members. %" ~
The lineup of Select Counclmen on
the ordinance which the organization
has slated to be passed over the
Mayors veto will be watched with In
terest by the independent forces. ''+

"MOVIES" SHOW PICTURES
WITHOUT CENSOR'S SEAL
The State Board Tells of Some Of It's
Troubles.

4IOuDleSs
Moving picture houses, at least a
dozen of them in this city, are using the
State Board of Censors' seal on pictures
that never even saw the inside OF tho
States projection rooms. This is the
information given this afternoon by J:
Louis Breitinger, chief censor.
Many of the owners of movie" houses
about town who receive films from the
exchanges and who are afraid of being
fined for using pictures they know
should bear the State seal. simply use
seal of their own. This is one of the
new troubles that confront the Board OF
Censors.
Up to the present there have been but
few arrests of those who have violated
the rule covering the act of 1911, when
prohibits the use Of any film that has
not passed the State Board of Censors.
-Four or five who have been arrested
have been fined $50.
The rule, which went into effect on tne
first of September. has not been strictly
kept by owners Of movie" shows and
the state Board has been inclined TO go
easy with them for the present b. tne
first Of December the law will be strictly
enforced.

and Beth cheerfully assumed the
duties of a farmers wife.
The little sister was sent away
to school. All the laborious rou-
tine of the farmhouse fell upon
tender hands that had never
known labor % any kind.
For years and months Beth
toiled uncomplainingly happy to
share any kind of life with her
adored husband. She was quite
separated from her family
One day merry coaching par
~ of her former fashionable com
panions drove up to the Drake
farmhouse. Beth, in a Bingham
apron, was pulling the feathers
from chicken which had been
killed for the midday meal The
coach stopped but for a moment.
Beth's former society compan-
ions regarded her with such un-
concealed pity that, for the first
time. she began to pity herself.
Edwin noticed the change. He
redoubled his efforts to tighten
her tasks. to keep her amused.
All in vain. She brooded con-
stantly over the loss of her accus-
toned luXuries and pleasures.
The sight of her roughened hands
annoyed her.

DR.. Wilson called to see her
frequently. One day he told her
something that filed her with

she knew that she still loved Ed

away from hm--for there was to
be new tie between them.
She snounced her determine

Her father warned her:

Edwin.

Modern Seamen.

The new ship has transformed the
sailor with itself. He works among a
subtle and intricate network of ma
chinery. His brain is quickened by the
effort to understand the new force
and appliances that he controls. He Is
drawn no longer from the lower strata
of the population of our ports, but in
increasing proportions from the ranks
of skilled mechanics. The electricians
and machinists, who are the aristoc-
racy of the crew, bring with them the
notions which prevail among the arts
tocracy of labor out of uniform. They
possess more reading and more science
than did nine out of ten of the officers
in the old days. They had a respect
for themselves and their class, which
has revolutionized the morals and man
ners of the modern warship. The grad
ual reform of the service regulations
has sought to keep pace with this
transformation, and officers have been
educated in a wholly new conception
OF their relationship to their men. The
bullying and hectoring which was the
rule of the sea in the old days is today
the rare exception. Instinct and good
FORM condemn that kind of thing as
severely as me egulations.-Nation.
