NEW ORDINANCE MAY BAR
YOUNG MOVIE OPERATORS
ALL FILM MEN WILL NOW PASS
A RIGID EXAMINATION.
Must Be Fl Years of Age or Over, Ac-
cording to New Law Which Became
Effective Here This Week.

If the board of examiners for moving
picture operators adheres to strict con-
structiOn of the ordinance, which became
effective this week, requiring operators
to take out licenses, several Denver op-
orators may be forced to give up their
positions because they are under q years
of age. The ordinance says they must
be ''2l years OF age or over" before a
license can be issued.
The board of examiners will take the
matter up with City Attorney j. A.
Marsh for ruling. The movie operators
say the law should not force those under
81 to give up their places, but should
be construed to mean that in the future
no operator be employed who has not
reached the age of 81 years.
Under the new ordinance, the city cleo
trician, the superintendent of the fire
and police alarm systems and "A Journey
man moving picture operator constitute
the board of examiners.
The board is to meet the second and
fourth Tuesdays OF each month at y
o'clock to pass upon the qualifications OF
operators already at work or to examine
those who apply. The jolirneyman mem
ber OF the board must be an operator OF
five years experience. The appointment
is made by the commissioner of prop.
erty after the operators have recon.
mended their choice
Applicants must pay 50 for the priv
ilege of taking the examination. If they
pass the money is turned over to the
city treasury. If the applicant fails,
his money is refunded. Failure to pass
the examination prevents the applicant
from taking an examination for a period
of ninety days. Renewals cost sl.5O
and 80 cents is the charge for transfer
ring licenses.

.LAWSON'S APPEAL
HEARD NEXT WEEK
Supreme Court viii Pass on
Motion to Grant Bond
Military Board Of Inquiry Putting Up
Weak Bluff While Bid for Recruits
Fails to Meet With Response

The Colorado state supreme court will
reconvene next Monday after a brief
summer vacation. 1t is expected that
argument will be heard during the week
on the motion OF Attorney Horace n.
Hawkins to release John r. Lawson
from the Trinidad Jail on bond pending
review of his ease.
That this plea will be granted is an
ticipated in view of the fact that be-
fore adjournment few weeks ago the
supreme court ordered stay OF the
sentence of life imprisonment and de-
barred Judge CRANKY C. Hillyer, who was
the presiding Judge and imposed the
sentence of life imprisonment upon Law
son.
A similar plea in behalf of Louis Zan-
cannelli, also in the Trinidad Jail under
life sentence for alleged connection with
strike murder cases, is expected. Law
son and Zancannell occupy the same cell
in the Las Animase county jail.
Inquiry Court Still Bluffing.
The military court of inquiry, with
Major Boughton as chairman, appointed
by Governor Carlson to investigate
charges against Chase, Boughton. Lee
and other militia officers, filed with the
governor by committee of thirty pres
ent and former Colorado national guard
officers, is making bluff at probing
the serious charges. Captain Van Cise,
chairman of the committee filing the
charges, has declared he will ignore the
court so long as Boughton, one of the
men under charges, is member of the
board to investigate himself.
1t is well understood that the board
was created for the sole purpose of
applying a coat of whitewash, same as
that applied by the courtmartial held
following the Ludlow massacre.
Fail to Enlist Recruits.
In the meantime recruiting stations
opened in Denver and other cities of the
state to enlist new men for the Colorado
national guard have the appearance OF
mausoleums, as there are no recruits
showing up to register. Any attempt to
reorganize the state militia so long as
the governor retains Chase as adjutant
general is foredoomed to failure.
Government war department inspect
ors and secret service men are in Colo
rado investigating the charges that $2l,
900 worth of government munitions and
arms We're sold by Chase and his off
GERS to Mexican bandits while the state
militia was encamped in the southern
Colorado strike zone. Other charges
that Iarimer street barflies We're placed
in uniforms and counted as members Of

for drawing per capita from the fedsral
funds have been admitted by Officers Of

Liberty for John Lawson
BY REV. DANIEL S. McCORKLE
Presbyterian Minister at Sunrise. Wyo.
Sunrise, wyo., Sept. 2, 1915.

Sunrise, Wyo., Sept. 2, 1915.
In historic Philadelphia, under the aus
pices OF the Federal Council of the
Churches of Christ in America, a meet
ing was held recently. 1t was a meet
ing of protest against the unjust con-
viction of John R. Lawson.
How unpleasant for the lawbreaking
coal operators of Coloradol The convic-
tion of Lawson was bought for no small
sum. Without the vast wealth of
Rockefeller, lavishly poured out to aid
their crime, a man so notably innocent
as John Lawson could never have been
condemned to life imprisonment. At
last they have silenced him. They be-
lieve they will be able to violate Colo
radios labor laws in the future even more
freely than in the past. Secure in their
plans to oppress and defraud Colorado's s
coal miners, these operators are hoping
to take the cost of Lawson's conviction
and much more out of the pay checks of
their employees. And now comes this
Philadelphia meeting of protest, seeking
Lawson's release.
The coal operators do not want Law
son set at liberty. He has shown him
self dangerous to wrong gdoers.N lie has
refused their requests to be reasonable
and betray his fellow workmen for a
bribe. He has persisted in the folly OF
honesty, an agitator demanding justice.
BY all this he has hindered the plans of
Big Business to make the hours of labor
long and the pay check short. In the
ewes of the men who misrule Colorado,
there is no citizen more dangerous than
John Lawson. Law or no law they have
determined to put him out of the way.
Is it anybody's business to interfere
Such outside protests are bitterly re-
scented by the agents of the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company. Have they not dealt
thus with agitators for so many years?
Some were murdered, and others sent
to prison. Why is Lawson any better
than the rest? The law is nothing be-
tween friends.
Yet facts are facts. The protest meet
ing in Philadelphia was held. All the
hush money of Rockefeller could not pre-
vent it. Milk and water preachers would
be talking. They might have been fed
on cream from the dividends of Stand
ard Oil. if they had kept their mouths
shut And Clifford Pinchot spoke. too.
Press reports credit him with saying
that those who fight for justice must
secure the release of John Lawson and
prepare a prison cell for John ID.
Rockefeller.
Are the innocent to be made free,
Are the guilty to suffer! Not in the
state owned by the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company, if money can talk. Let
the foolish ministers of Philadelphia
keep still. Frank Walsh. chairman OF
the industrial relations commission has
been making trouble enough. Walsh
lacks judicial poise. He talks too much,
and interferes with the nice things that
the money of the coal operators would
like to say. Walsh started the Lawson
protest going. And now these Phila-
delphia ministers show themselves
equally lacking in judicial poise. They

connection with the Hecla mine riot at

victory for the union miners as it de-

will eventually be dismissed.

AMERICAN MORAL EFFORTS
EXTEND ALL OWE. ASIA

Our work in the Philippines has often
been referred to by keen observers rs
providing a center from which our
moral influence has extended over all
Asia. declares the editor of the Nations
Business. Ten years ago the spread
of the opium habit became so threnten-
ing to the Philippines that the insular
government at Manila took the stu
alton in hand and suppressed the traffic
locally. Then a series of antiopium
conferences was summoned, at Amer
lean initiative. ending in an agreerncn mt
between thirty-four different nations
to stop the traffic in 1916. The last of
the purely American legisla ton against
the opium business became effective
on March l, when the bill regulating
the interstate traffic in, habit forming
drugs became a law. Meanwhile" In
the words of the editor, I'VE had trained
number of fine moral leaders and ex-
pcrts in sanitation and public admin
tstration. These skilled. patient and
often heroic men have so subdued com
municablc diseases and other ailments
of the tropics that they have made the
Philippines and Panama as heaIthful
AS the temperate zones. and provided
an example influencing all central and
Western South America. In Cuba and
Porto Rico we had already done this
work thoroughly. These men have
made public health science Others

JUVENILE DELINQUENTS
KNOW LITTLE RELIGION

Speaking before the Detroit clericus
Judge III. S. Hubert, OF the Juvenil.
Court, said that he had made a study
OF forty-two church boys who were
brought before him this year, and en-
phasized two facts: that the BOYS had
no touch with the clergy and no con-
cepiion of the ten commandments. He
found that the boys knew the Sunday
school superintendent well, but in
many cases did not even know tn,
names of the clergy In regard to The
commandments and the catechism
very few of the boys. even of those
who had been confirmed, could repeat
the commandments; some had no con-
ception OF what they were. and In only
two cases did any Of the boys realize
any connection between the command
mepts and life.
The judge said that in almost all the
homes Of these boys, representing
every class Of society, religion was
greatly neglected. and that In talking
to parents he had found 1t impossibie
TO get any satIsfa ction in this regard
The Judge found that In tho case OF
boys who had had definite religious
training the task of reclamation was
tremendously accelerated, and he urges
a very definite teaching OF the cate
chism and the close application OF IL
