Report of Committee Charges
Open Violation of State
Law by Owners of Movie
Theatres.
EXPOSE SUBTERFUGE
Ministers Cite Funds Each
House Gives Charity and
Haphazard Method of
Making Report.

Asserting that theatres and moving
picture shows are being operated on
Sunday in evasion of a state statute
prohibiting the same, the Richmond
Ministerial association, acting through
its Lords Day Observance committee,
has conducted an investigation Of the
conditions under which these places
Of amusement are being permitted to
remain open on Sunday.
The first report Of this committee,
presented at the meeting of the asso-
citation this morning, openly charges
that managers of the theatres are hid
ing behind the subterfuge of giving a
portion of the Sunday earnings of the
theatres, to charity.
Orders Probe Continued.
Following the reading of the report,
the association instructed the commit
tee to continue its investigations and
prepare to take the necessary steps to
bring about the Sunday closing of the
theatres.
This action on the part Of the minis
ters was taken following the spiritual
istic exhibition given at the Gennett
theatre several weeks ago on Sunday.
when the police and prosecutor re-
fused to stop the show at the request
OF the ministers. The committee re.
ported as follows:
Until about two years ago these
shows were kept closed on Sunday on
account Of the general state law that
forbids the engagement in any regular
daily occupation on Sunday. Among
the exceptions this law provides for
is one that allows work in the cause
Of charity.
AT the time OF the Dayton flood
relief movement in this city two years
ago this spring, one Of these shows
opened on Sunday and gave all the
proceeds of the day for the relief of
the flood sufferers. The proprietor
was arrested, charged with breaking
the statute. but upon his showing that
all the receipts had gone for charity.
he was found to be not guilty Of the
charge.
The police and prosecuting Off
cials have accepted that case as a
precedent. and have made no effort to
molest the managers of these shows
on account of their representation that
a part of the profits went to charity.
This seems to have been the attitude
of the citizens of. the city also, since
no complaints have been made against
tlllo ouPpOoCu SoANllAV0 Va OolN0s
operation.
The policy of the police department
has been to have each of the shows
report the amount given to charity.
and the object to which it was given.
Just how carefully this requirement
has been observed by the managers
the following reports. which were the
latest up to the end of February, will

About Case of Noble Sis

For the first time in years, an at.
tempt will be made to secure a prose
cution under the civil rights code

City Will Establish Fund for
Municipal Utility at Next
Session of Public Works
Board. -,
OFFICIALS DISAGREE
Bavis, Robbins and Klein
knecht Argue Between 5
Per Cent and 8 Per Cent
for Repairs.

Establishment of a rate of deprecia-
tion for the municipal plant will prob
ably be provided by the board of
public works at its meeting Thursday
There never has been a depreciation
fund for the municipal plant. This is
required by the state public utilities
commission law, however.
"Mr. Bavis is of the opinion that five
per cent Of the plant investment is a
sufficient depreciation charge. Supt.
Kleinknecht thinks that at least 8 per
cent should be charged, but l think
Mr.. Bavis' estimate is nearer right"
Mayor Robbins said today. Under
the law the depreciation fund can be
drawn upon for plant requirements
and extensions, but favor using this
fund only to provide for replace
ments"
Two Officials Disagree.
Although the new state law. just en-
acted, provides that cities owning pub
lie utilities can divert surplus earnings
OF such plants into the municipal gen.
eral fund after the bonded indebted.
ness Of the plants has been provided
for, Supt Kleinknecht declared his be-
lief today that it would be several
years before the local city plants sink
ing fund was large enough to pay off
the plants bonded Indebtedness at 8
per cent compound interest. These
bonds mature in 1927.

DELAY PAYMENT
TO E. A. PRATT
FOR ACCOUNTING

The board of public works today &C.
cepted the opinion Of City Attorney
Bond that final payment of $175
to E. A. Pratt of Peoria, an expert ac-
countant who installed bookkeeping
system for the city plant, be deferred
until the Public Service Commission
has signified its approval of this sys-
TEN.
The city in 1918 contracted with
Pratt for a bookkeeping system for
1915. OF this amount 5000 has been
paid to him and $125 for extra work.
Former plant superintendent John
son, dissatisfied with the accounting
system provided by the commission
engaged Pratt to install one more to
his satisfaction. Supt. Kleinknecht
says the Pratt system is an excellent
one but he has opposed paying Pratt
the balance due him until the system
is approved by the commission, as pro-
vided in the contract.
The board decided to advertise for
bids for installing a shower bath in
the sleeping quarters of the city hall

Proceedings for the condemnation
of some property owned by Earlham

tered into with the street car company

NEW YORK, March SIN the

building in which he was twice
tried for his life, Harry K. Thaw
today went on trial on an indict-
ment charging him with conspir-
acy in connection with his escape
from the Matteawan asylum for
the criminal insane.
Not the least remarkable feature OF
the trial Is the fact that It will be the
first time since Thaw's arrest in 1905
for the Staying of Stanford White.
that William Travers Jerome is not
identified with the states side Of the
case.
Thaw and his friends believe this
is the beginning of the end Of his
troubles. They feel that he will even
tually be set at liberty.
'I know nothing of the plans in my
behalf" said Thaw. Il am entirely III
the hands OF my attorneys.
Attorney 10 Silent.
John B. Stanchfield, who will con-
duct the defense, was equally unconl-
municative. The report was in cir
culation that before the trial had pro-
ceeded very far, the leading attorney
for Thaw would plunge the whole case
into a lunacy proceeding by pointing
out the unreasonableness of trying an
insane man for conspiracy This would
bring the whole question of Thaw's
sanity before the court at once.

Justice Page took his seat on the
Bench at 10:35 o'clock and Thaw was
Immediately brought into court. His
face was pale but expressionless.
| AS soon as Thaw's case was called
his counsel demanded that the other
defendants be produced in court. Their
names were called, but none of them
appeared, and this gave rise to the re-
port that they had gone out OF the jur-
! isdiction of the court.

sence of preparedness for the navy is to have vessels of suitablestypes of con- structions where we can put our hands on them quickly. The neglect to pro- vide in the past the necessary naval auxiliaties gives us one great advan- tage. By building now we will develop a type that will be better than anything the world has produced.
 "The terrible events of the past year in Europe have brought rorcibly to the front the necessity for greater naval ana military preparedness, than our people heretofore believed necessary for the national safety. Our splendid isolation-upon which we have relied in the past as a great protection, has been neutralized by the great develop ments of modern science. We are forced to consider the new measures which are essential to put our country upon a basis of greater security"
 American business, MT. McAdoo said, paid dearly for the failure of the ship bill in the last session of congress. The increased freight rates of shippers, last year, he said, have exceeded several times the S40.00O.00O which the ship ping bill authorized the government to eXpend in merchant vessels" Losses. he said, have been incurred because of the fact that producers had been un- able to ship their product at all. Sec retary McAdoo declared that the time had come for the government to con- slider the regulation of merchant ma rine companies but did not say that the powers to regulation should be given to the shipping board. He argued, that the recent withdrawal from the Orien- tai trade of the ships of the Pacific Mail company would have been pre- vented had the ship bill been passed by the last congress. He criticized the withdrawal and said that had the ship bill been passed, the shipping board would have bought the Pacific Mails ships and kept them in the Oriental trade,
