MORE CONSTABLES SEEK FEES
Engage Counsel to Sue County for
Back Pay Alleged to Be Due

Many of the county constables whose
claims for back fees under the act of
1901 were rejected by the Dauphin
County Commissioners-alth Though other
constables obtained back money,-be-
cause they failed to bring suit for their
claims - within the time required by
law have employed counsel and pro-
pose to make a court fight for the
money.
The claims are based ON the act
which increased constables' fees. These
fees were not allowed by the County
Commissioners during the years from
1901 to 1905, inclusive, because the
Commissioners at that time thought the
act increasing the fees was not consti-
tutional. Nevertheless some of the
eonstables sued for the increases and
they recently were paid in full under
a Dauphin county court ruling.
The constables who now plan to
make a fight for back money have en-
pioyed attorneys who will confer with
the County Commissioners on the ques-
tion at meeting next Wednesday.
The constables hold that the board of
County Commissioners who originally
refused to pay the increases, agreed to
pay the claims upon the condition that
other counties would pay or that the
court would decide that the county is
liable. That agreement still is bind
ing, they say.

SHOW SLIDES DESPITE CENSOR
Local Theatres Put on Liberty Bell
Pictures Defying Breitinger

The Liberty Bell slides calculated to
aid the cause of the moving picture ex-
hibitors in their fight to have the
state censorship law repealed, were
shown in some of the Harrisburg NOV
ing picture houses for the first time
last evening. Two slides are in each
set sent out from the exhibitors or
ganization in Philadelphia for use
throughout the State. The slides are
colored and one shows bell without
a crack. 1t contains the words: "Pub-
lie opinion favors laws against bad
pictures but abhors the tyranny of cen
sorship.' The second slide shows
cracked bell and reads: "It proclaimed
liberty to all the people. Censorship
put the crack in it..
The slides call on theatre patrons to
use their influence with the lawmak-
ers of their district to induce them to
vote for the repeal of the present cen
sorship law. The slides are being shown
despite the fact they have not been ap-
proved by the state censors and not
withstanding j. Louis Breitinger, the
chief censor, has threatened to arrest
exhibitors displaying them. The ex-
hibitors contend the board has no right,
under the law, to put ban on such
pictures inasmuch as they are not films.

JOHNSON AND W|LLARDWILL
NOT FIGHT easter SUNDAY.
Contest WIN Take Place April 5 in De-
ference to Wishes Of Cuban Presi-
dent-objections Raised on Ac-
count Of Holy Day

Havana, March 27.-The fight be-
tween Jack johnson and Jesse Willard
which had been scheduled ito take place
here ON April for the heavyweight
championship of the world has been
postponed until Monday, April 5, at
1880 p. m.
The postponement was due to a re-
quest made by President Menocal, of
Cuba. In letter TO the fight pro-
moters he said that great objection had
arisen in Cuba and the United States
to the fight taking place Easter Sun
day. Holy day, and he requested that
the event be postponed until the day
following. A meeting of the principals
and promoters was at once held and
the request of President Menocal was
aceeded to.
Americans here have been surprised
at the opposition in Cuba to holding
the fight on Easter Sunday. The pro-
moters were assured that at least five
thousand more people would attend any
day other than Easter. The date orig
inally' was set for Saturday, April 3,
but it was changed to Sunday at the
request of several Havana associations.
1t is evident that Johnson had some
mixing to this trouble over the date
for he has slower up his training no
ticeably in the last two days. Both
pugilists say the change will not upset
their training as they have hal full
weeks notice. Light road work was
the only feature of the forenoon at the
two camps. -
