Reasons for Opposing Bill.

Mr.. Carriers statement says.-in part:
We already have sufficient laws on our
statute books to prohibit obscene and in
decent pictures. / believe that the police
court judges of my district are fully
capable of taking care of this situation.
Il do rot object to Representative
TOWERS bill TO add a section to the penal
port i'll interstate commerce obscene or
indecent motion picture films. In fact. |
am strongly in favor Of the bill and trust
t,iHt il Will pass. In many instances there
lave been put OF boards to censor mo-
ton pictures persons who have had only
8 T!te1 education. so far the world
n large goes, and were not competent to
act On motion pictures.
Motion picture producers themselves
realize that nothing pays so well as
wholesome and clean pictures A great
many of the churches in my district are
now using motion pictures for the les
sons which they teach. | do not believe
that these church lessons displayed on
motion picture films should be subjected
to government board of censors.
IF man writes a book or minister
breaches a sermon. he is not required to
submit the proof of his book or his SER
mon to a board of censors. If he con-
verts the same idea into a photo play
and heers within the bounds of decency
as provided for by the common law. then
no beard OF censors should be allowed to
interfere with this work
we do not. and j pray God that we
never VIII. have to show the proofs OF
our newspa pers to a board of censors to
pass on before paper is published

Industry Should Be Helped. -

SO long as the ma jority of the mo-
ton picture producers of this country
continue TO conduct their business with
-out giving offense there is no excuse
for subjecting them to any censorship
board. What this Congress should do
il 10 help business and not to hinder it,
and J believe that 1t is the duty of the
members of your committee to vote
against this bill and to lend your sup
port to the bill which has been intro
duced by Mr.. Towner'
IN active opponent of the Hughes
biil is D. W Griffith. who. at big ban
cuet in New York year ago express
er IL = speech his belief that the mo-
ton picture would in a few years take
its Ultc. as the chief educational factor
IN American life.
Hr. Griffith takes the ground that fed
erai censorship is impra ctical. He also
believes that il is undesirab BILE, because
~ this interference with legitimate pic
lures is added to the censorship now
exercised by the states and city police
IL will strike a great blow at the whole
moving picture industry and will re-
suit in great reduction OF the output
OF motion pictures.
\ revised edition Of the Hughes-Smith
bill has been handed TO Chairman
Hughes OF the education committee as
a suggestion. II came from a section
OF the motion picture business which
favors mild form of censorship.

MISREPRESENTATION, N. Y, April
20-Martial law was declared in ef-
feet within the limits Of Hastings
village, and state troops were called
upon for duty yesterday after riot
ing had assumed serious proportions
among strikers OF the National Con-
duit and Cable Company. A mob t.
tackled the company's plant with hu.
lets and stones. -.
The trustees Of the village voted
to place the situation in the hands!
of Sheriff Uhlrich Wciscndanger. who
at once summoned . the national!
guardsmcn ut White Plains, Mount
Vernon and Flushing. H.; /
Sheriff Weisendanger suspended the.
sale Of intoxicants and closed, al sa.'
looms, and ordered on duty the depu-
ties withdrawn Tuesday. ::
The troops were called out under a
law recently passed, authorizing 4.
sheriff to take such action in :!m
emergency without first comforting
with the governor. 3.
After stoning the shops the strikers
and their sympathiZers jostled train:
commuters in the streets and then
drew revolvers and fired into the mir
and at the plant. No one was IN!
jured during this attack. 3

ENGLISH TAKE

DECLARE INTERFERENCE WITH
NEUTRAL SHIPPING Is IN
ACCORD WITH RULES OF
MODERN WARFARE

Washington, ID. C.,-The latest
British note in answer to the Amer
lean protest against Allied interfer-
ence with neutral trade, made pub
lie last night at the state department
contends that the proclamations COM
planned of are judicially sound and
valid, and that the relief which neu-
trails seek is to be obtained by the
mitigation of necessary hardships
that are abrupt changes either in
the theory or application of policy
based upon admitted principles of
international law carefully adjusted
to the altered conditions of modern
warfare"
1t discloses that can impartial and
influential commission" has been ap-
pointed to find ways to minimize de-
lays and pledges the Allies to make
their restrictions on trade as little
burdensome as possible.
The note in which the French gov
lernment concurs, reiterates the mill
tary necessity of regulating COM
merce to neutral countries, contigu-
GUS to Germany and upholds the eff
feet of the blockade which was chal-
lenged by the last American note.
More diplomatic correspondence
over the issue is expected to follow.

STOCK sLUMPs AS

Washington, d. C.-Republican
political circles here were set buzz
ing when it was definitely learned
that a delegation of New York Re-
publicans headed by Senator Wads-
worth had called upon Justice
Hughes of the supreme court to
sound him out with respect to the
Republican presidential nomination,
and had been asked to leave his
presence because he viewed their
mission as an insult.
While the incident occurred few
days ago, news of what transpired
in the office of the associate Justice
just has begun to get around. It was
said that Mr.. Justice Hughes was
more than positive in refusal to see
the delegation.
Won't Accept Choice.
AS a result of the Justices atti-
tude towards Senator Wadsworth
there was marked depreciation in
Hughes stock. Mr.. Wadsworth, ac-
cording to reports, believes that Mr..
Hughes would decline the nomina-
ton even if offered to him by q
vention.
Republicans pointed out that Mr..
Hughes may yet feel compelled to
make a statement to relieve himself
of the embarrassment of being
sounded at every turn by designing
leaders.

Both subcommittee will report
tomorrow to the general conference

that they have been unable to reach
an agreement after seven weeks OF
discussion. Unless the conference is
able to find a way to break the dead

whether the miners shall declare a

Representatives of the miners ex-
pressed a faint hope that further ne

ed at until the chancellor reaches
headquarters.
| On the surface, indications, how
ever, point more and more to the
probability that an arrangement re-
garding the Sussex and a modus vi
vendi on the submarine problem will
be offered to the United States and
that sincere endeavor to reach an
understanding will be made from this
side, putting the decision regarding
the future status of relations up to
| Washington.
View Situation Gravely.
The public and the press continue
to view the situation gravely, but
calmly, and for the greater part with
desire that a way out of the contro-
yersy may be found.
The Wolfe bureau circulated an
appeal from the German University
New York to the rector of Berlin
university for a dispassionate CON
sideration of the American position.
The main purpose of the imperial
chancellor's flying "trip to Berlin
a journey which involves 30 hours
travel in each direction-has been,
ference with Ambassador Gerard on
Monday, the desire to obtain as clear
ian idea as possible of the attitude
and policy of the American govern
ment, which, if anything. lies behind
and beyond the American note. and
what measures are necessary to sat
isfy the American demand before the
momentuous decision is taken by the
emperor and his advisers at head
quarters.
Cannot Rush Reply.
The crisis has come to head in
the midst of the Easter holiday: a
season playing a highly important
role in German life, when public men
ere widely scattered from Berlin and
their views, which the emperor
would naturally wish to ascertain
before reaching decision not quick
ly assembled
Thus the formulation of a reply
TO the American note, which pre-
sumably would spell peace or war,
cannot be rushed.
U. $. Armament Views.
Washington, ID. CA statement
defining the attitude of the United
States oward armed merchant ships
was made publictoday by the state
department by the direction of Pres
ident Wilson. 1t originally was pre-
pared as a circular note to the 9TH
er powers, but it was later decided
to issue it as a statement.
The statement holds to the right
of merchant ship to arm for protec-
tion only, but declares that "mer-
chantmen which have used their arm
aments for aggressive purposes are
not entitled to the same hospitality
in neutral ports as peaceabIe armed
merchantmen"
