One OF the principle points suggest

There are hundreds of children with
no place to play. It is pointed out
that by roping off these streets for
several hours in the afternoon the
children may have much recreation.

TO DESTROY FIGHT FILMS.



New York, June t7--The 3,542
feet OF movie fiim depicting the
Ritchie-weish Tight In London in
July, 1914, Is to be destroyed by the
Federal authorities in accordance
with an order issued by Judge Hough
In the United States District Court
today.
The film was brought over shortly
after the night by George Considine.
but was held up by the Federal
authorities on the theory that Its
importation was violation OF the
Sims law prohibiting the bringing
into the country or the Transports
ton in interstate commerce of any
film depicting prize fight or a
pugilistic encounter.
In vain the attorney for Considtne
tried to convince Judge Hough that
the Ritchie- Welsh affair was merely
a boxing match ami as such was not
covered by the Sims law. Judge
Hough ruled that the match was
both pugilistic encounter and a
prize fight.
