There was one rather striking de- velopment at the civil service reform hearing and that was, that so many officials were in favor of the principle but did not want it to apply to their own departments. We presume that if the question were squarely put to all the state departments run by high class commissions whose members re- ceive no pay, the answer would be unanimous against interference Bridgeport Post.

MOVIES OF BIG FIGHT
ARE BARRED IN u. S.
Law Will Prohibit Showing
Pictures of Johnson-Willard
Battle in Havana.

WASHINGTON, April 7.-American
prize fight fans" who remained away
from Havana, Cuba, in the expectation
that they later could witness the willard
Johnson contest in the movies, are
doomed to disappointment There is n
Federal statute. ironc!ad and without
loopholes, which expressly forbids the in
terstate transportation of fight films. 1t
provides fine of 5000 and a prison sem
tence of one year at hard labor, or both
fine and Imprisonment. for each offense.
The law applies with double force to the
Willard Johnson pictures because it for
bids the importation of fight films from
foreign countries, as well as prohibiting
their interstate shipment.
In July, 1912, when the Johnson-Jeffries
fight took place at Reno, New, Congress
was in session. Many Congressman and
Southern members, especially. were in
censed that the promoters should attempt
to show the fight in the movies" The
result was that on July 81, which was q
days after the fstic battle, President
Taft approved an act which in effect for
ever bars the production of prize fights
in moving pictures, unless, indeed, the
pictures are taken and produced in the
same State in which the fight took place.
The Federal law can only deal with the
matter to the extent that it is Inter
state" in it's character.
Lawyers who have to do with the en-
forcement of the interstate commerce
laws say that the law is so sweeping that
the making of moving pictures of prize
fights so far as the United States is con-
cerned. is an absolutely prohtless and use
less thing to do.
