Poster of Miss Kellern1ann
May Cause Fight in Court
Washington Censors Post Sckers Picture Of Perfect
Figure" and Her Friends May Take Case Into
Local Courts for Decision

. What is vulgar or indecent in a
theatrical poster may be decided in
the local courts this week. when the
censors of Washington will be hailed
into court to defend their action in
ordering the covering up of a bill
which has been displayed on bill
boards throughout the city depicting
Annette Kellermann making a dive
into the water.
Now, Annette Kellermann is called
the perfect woman, and when some of
her friends reached Washington yes
terday and discovered that by order
of the playbill censor the posters an
nouncing her appearance at a local
theater showing her in the picture
of a high dive, outlining her per
feet" figure, had been vulgarly marred
by "stickers," thereby obliterating her
curves, they proceeded to look up the
law.
They discovered that a law was on
the statute books prohibiting the post
ing Of Autographs that are 'lewd. in
decent and vulgar" and they imme-
dia tely took umbrage. They went to
police headquarters, and were in
formed that the matter of theatrical
posters is entirely up to Washington s
censor. and that If they had a quarrel
it must be with him. Then they took
the law into their own hands and had
il ordered that all the offensive
"stickers" should be removed.
Last night the billposters were busy
washing off these obliterations. and
Miss Kellermann in her high dive with
her female form divine" may be seen
in all her loveliness. If the Washing
ton censor carries out the threat to
take the case into court, Miss Keller
mann's friends are prepared tb fight 1t.

Root Gets "ApoIoEy."

Il appreciate the lofty sentiments Of
the Senator replied Mr.. Gore. Il now
desire to ask him if he thinks that the
National Republican Convention at Chi
caGO. over which he presided, ought or
ought not to have bound the participa nts
in that convention
No declaration of a party platform, :"
replied Mr.. Root. "Can absOlve a man
who. before or after he takes an oath of
office to act as a member OF the great
legislative council of the nation. from
the duty TO keep open-minded upon all
questions that are brought before the
body. and to vote in accordance with the
judgment that he forms upon the argu-
ments that are presented in the discus
SiOns of the body. If there ever comes
to be differences between the honest
judgment of a member OF this body upon
a question presented to the body and the
declaration of a party platform. there is
no doubt whatever that the oath of the
legislator must prevail over the deClara-
tiOn of the party platform"
Does the Senator think that the par
Elephants in the Chicago convention ought
to have supported the nominees of that
cOnventiOn?' asked Mr.. Gore
Il will not answer the question of the
Senator from Oklahoma" replied Sena-
tor Root. because it is both irrelevant
and impertinent."

Senator Burton had been speaking and
Senator Root had made some observa-
tions on the subject of the caucus, when
Senator Gore interrupted:
Il wish to ask the Senator from New
York" said Senator Gore, whether he
thinks a party caucus ought or ought
not TO bind its participants
Il think" replied Senator Root, that
TO be bound by a caucus resolution adopt
ed in advance of the discussion OF a
measure in this body is to be false to
the constitutional duty of Senators and
is to be false to their oath OF office, be-
States. under the Constitution, 1t is the
duty Of the members of the two great
legislative bodies of this country to con-
slider. to discuss. and to act each in ac-
cordance with the judgment he forms
upon the arguments that are presented to
the legislative body to which he belongs.
Any agreement made before hand by
which Senators of the United States bind
themselves not TO consider. not to keep
an open mind to arguments that are
made upon the merits of a measure, not
to vote in accordance with their individ-
ual Judgment. is a violation of their
oath. is an abandonment and a mega ton

United States and the substitution for
it of an eXtra-COnstitutiOnal and uncon-

Minnesota banks were never in

This was the statement made this
morning by George H. Richards, Sec
rotary of the Minnesota Bankers as
ISOLATION, who was in the city this
morning with w. Brown, also con-
nected with the association.
Much Money Deposited. "
Usually at this time of the year"
said Mr.. Richards, "banks are just
recovering from taking care of the
harvest. This year, however, all the
banks have large amount of money
and interest rates are good. Country
banks are particularly prosperous.
City banks have millions of dollars
on deposit, in fact, they have reached
high mark.
Conditions Are Good.
"Conditions in banking business
are very good. The Minnesota Bank
ers association is now organizing the
country banks into county organiza-
tions. They will, of course, continue
to remain as members of the state Or
ganization. Formerly they were or
ganized into districts. This was
found to be not a good division, as
banks in some sections of one district
have different conditions than have
banks in other sections. By dividing
the banks into county groups there
can be better regulation in regard
to interest and other matters.
: High Interest Not Good.
. "A high rate of interest paid on
time certificates is not good thing
as it makes the borrower pay higher
rate of interest while he should be-
the better benefited,
: Mr.. Richards and Mr.. Brown re-
turned this morning from Shocks;
where they have been hunting. They
were unable to secure their share If
the game as they have been called
back to the Twin iCties on business.
They will return to Minneapolis to-
