film fight Starts
IN HOUSE Committee
Rev. Mr.. Crafts Declares There Is
Widespread Demand for Govern
ment Censor of Motion Pictures.

fight over the proposal made by the
Hughes bill to create a Federal board
to censor moving picture films began
before the House Committee on Education
last night The bill Is opposed by agents
OF the film makers and advocated by
representatives of churches. welfare
societies and educational association.
The committee decided to hold six night
sessions in order that full opportunity
might be given the opponents and pro-
ponents of Federal censorship to ex-
press their views.
The advocates of Federal censorship
OF moving pictures were led by Rev.
Wilbur F. Crafts, head of the Inter-
national Reform Bureau. In his address
to the committee. he declared that there
was a widespread public demand for
government scrutiny of films.
Film editors, manufacturers, exhibitors
and their attorneys occupied the secono
half of the evening with arguments in
behalf of free expression in pictures,
no less than in the press They favored
voluntary or State or local censorship
as preferable to Federal censorship. To-
night the film makers will have their
innings, and the advocates Of censorship
will be given time to reply.

Again the women applauded.
She asked the committee to go slowly

when there will be worldwide demand
for peace.
Miss Addans suggested a commission

the police ic becoming less noticeable.
The change began after a meeting last
May. when Mai. Pullman called his men
together before officers of our society

wanted. We told them IL was not our
wishes we wanted carried out. but their
duty in the protection of animals from

BY SOPHIE TREADwELL.

Providence, Jan IA delicate cream
colored correspondence card was brought
into court In the Mohr trial this mornins
and marked State exhibit No. J. And
perhaps the most DANA ging bit of evil
dence Of the case against Mrs. Mohr was
then part Of the record.
The State claims that Mrs Mohr
planned the shooting of her husband and
his companion, Emily Burger, by two
negroes on the night Of August 81 The
shooting resulted in the death Of DIR.
Mohr and the wounding of Miss Burger.
The card was written more than a year
before the murder to George w. Rocks,
Miss Burgers brother-in-law. Mrs.
Mohr, on the morning two days after
the crime, when she was being ques-
toned by Chief Of Police O'Neill, ad-
mitted that she wrote 1t, as she ex-
planned. 'in one of her moments OF
frenzy" It says:
Dear Mrs. Rocks: Just a line to ask
you to tell your sister-In-law. Emily
Burger. II she dares TO go into my New
port home again she will never come out
alive l am giving her fair warning. No
matter what the outcome will be, I will
see 1t through. I was told about her
buying linen at Gladdings for DR.. Mohr.

Mrs. Mohr sat very still while the card
was being read to the jury. But when
the words the world is with me in my
sorrow" were read, she began to cry. II
was the first emotion she has shown since
the trial began.
With the exception Of this powerful bit
of evidence, 1t was a very good day foI
the defense. The State has a signed
confession by Heals, the chauffeur, but
he Is not on trial and will be used as
a witness for the prosecution. The notes
were not put In evidence, but Chief OF
Police O'Neill, who was on the stand all
day. told the jury what Brown and SPELL

confessed. The chief said the negro boys
