MOVIES ASK EQUAL RIGHTS
Small Theatres Of Newark Want to
Open on Sundays.

Equal Rights For AL" is the
slogan of an association Of motion pic
ture theatre owners Of Newark, who
have combined to obtain permission 10
open their places on Sundays. They are
owners of what are known as small
houses.
The larger houses in the city have
been open on Sunday with the stgn
"Beneht for a Worthy Cause tackled
on the door. II is understood the re-
ceipts are divided "Fifty-Fifty' be
tween the proprietor and the Worthy
Cause" whatever it may be. The small
houses. with few exceptions, have
been kept closed.
A committee Of tho association. ae-
companied by Nicholas La Nechis,
counsel. waited on Chief of Police
Michael 7. Long yesterday and made
known its grievance. They said they
we're not there to ask that places now
onened on Sunday be closed, but TO ask
that they receive a like privilege. The
chief took the matter under considera-
ton after assuring the committee that
he was not playing any favorites," but
had been guided by the sentiment Of
the localities affected.

HOCKEY JOYS FADE;
COPS JOIN ENEMY
Police Ordered to Help Round
Up TruantS. and Even NeWsies
Are in Danger.

Police Commissioner Woods joined
yesterday the long-faced squadron Of
Grape hangers who are always taking
the JOY out of a boys life He issued an
order to the ll,OOO-odd New York po-
policemen TO stop boys from playing
hockey.
Beginning this morning. when a po-
lceman sees a child between the ages
of six and fourteen he will grab said
child. If What are you doing home
from school to-day" is not satisfac-
torily answered, he will take and de-
liver" that child to the principal Of the
nearest school.
And Jaw. m mudder said I could stay
home to-day" won't go with the cop.
He'll come right back with We'll,
where's your card ?" for after to-day #
a boy or girl is excused from school
the Board Of Education's Bureau of At
tendance will issue card setting forth
the fact
After the truant has been taken and
delivered" the principal will give the
policeman a receipt showing the name,
address and time Of delivery Of the
truant
But that's not all. The nwsies don't
escape. The police are required 10 take
tho names and addresses Of the newsies
and send them TO the Boa-d of Edu-
cation. II the Bureau of Attendance
doesn't think the boy ought TO be on
tho street he will be condemned TO the
schoolroom.
Hitherto a boy con a hook" never
cared about the truant officer. because
he could run faster. But in the new
order things the truant officer will
be accompanied by couple of police
men in plain clothes from the inspec-
tors staff.
il won't do any good TO get Pa and
Ma 20 move away, either. The cop on
beat will see the van, ask II there are
any children and then send note TO
tho Board Of Education telling where
the family went.
AN that guy Woods is sending ser
ecants around 20 tell US we don't have
10 be scared o. COPS and that they want
20 be the kids friends muttered the
toughest kid on the block when he
heard about IT.

WEEKS MADE N. H. PAY
Had to Maintain Witnesses to Keep In
vestiQation Going. Counsel Testifies.

James W. Carpenter, counsel for the
New Haven Railroad. testified yester-
dav in the trial of Walter Peck, IN the
Bronx County Court, on charge OF
subornation Of perjury. that Sl,14O.4s
had been paid to District Attorney
Weeks for the maintenance of witnesses
for the railroad. II alleged that Peck
induced Dennis Murray, lineman. TO
testify falsely at the inquest into the
death Of James Fletcher, whose rela-
tives sued The railroad.
Mr.. Carpenter produced numerous
vouchers and expense accounts to show
that the railroad had paid money to
District Attorney Weeks and to pri-
vate detectives in connection with IN
dictmcnts sought in Westchester
County. Five vouchers for money paid
TO Norman Fitzsmmons, a detective,
we're shown by Mr.. Carpenter. They
were countersigned by Mr.. Weeks.
According TO Mr.. Carpenter, the rail
road maintained the witness because
District Attorney Weeks had said that
his appropriation was exhausted and
that the railroad would have TO pay the
expenses If the investigation was TO be
continued

The only rift which they would ad-

a deposit whose movement threatens
further slides
While the TWO generals posed on deck
for photographers other passengers
said that although they did not eat at
the same table during the trip, they
seemed TO be on friendly terms.
General Goethals explained that he
came TO appear before the Appropria-
ticns Committee Of Congress at Wash
ington on Friday. General Edwards
was ordered TO the United States TO
discuss details Of the army regime in
the Canal Zone before the Committee
on Military Affairs.
General Goethals said he did not
know when the canal would be re-
opened He would prefer 10 wait until
there was a depth Of thirty-fve feet.

chant Marine Committee. Of which he
is chairman Hearings will begin

sideration Of the measure as much as
possible
The House generally is expected o

changes made to satisfy Democratic
Senators strong opposition is expected
in the Senate. Leaders, however, de-
clare they arc confident that even If
Democrats who helped vote down me

gressive Republican and three new
Democratic members Beckham, of
Kentucky: Husting, of Wisconsin, and
johnson. Of South Dakota.
