new PROPOSAL
By Film men
AT Hearing on Hughes Cen
sorship Bill BY House
Committee.
EXTEND POSTAL LAWS
Cyrus townsend Brady Sees Movies
Becoming Great Educational
Agency if Unhampered.

At the hearing last night before the
House Committee on Education on the
Hughes bill, providing for Federal
censorship of moving pictures, a
counter proposal was made by the
film makers. They recommended TO
the committee that insteaSsof Great
Ing censorship board q provision
Of law should be enactsc denying the
use OF the mails to pictures that were
obscene or Questionable for other
reasons. They pointed out that the
postal laws now bar obscene matter
and that they could be extended so
as to apply to moving pictures,
The movie men made the argument
that the machinery of the Hughes bill
was cumbersome, and that the effect
OF 1t would be, on many occasions,
to tie up pictures for long periods,
thus entailing heavy losses. They in
sisted that all the regulation of films
required would be found in a pro-
vision applying the same rules that
obtain in the case of printed matter.
Cyrus Townsend Brady, the author,
appeared in opposition to the Hughes
bill tonight. He insisted that moving
pictures were rapidly becoming a
power for good, and that "unhamper-
ed by restrictive censorship would de-
velop into a great educational agency"
He asserted that public sentiment au-
tomatically censored moving pictures,
and that the standard was gradually
being improved.
Nary g. Peck, a member of the Ma
tional Board of Censorship of New York,
opposed Federal censorship, declaring
that, 'it was too ridiculous to contem-
plate and that 1t would be laughed out
of business
cambridge Colby, of New York. told
the committee that the Hughes bill was
a step toward the abrogation of the con-
stitutional rights OF free speech and free
press.
Mrs. John +. Culbertson. representing
women's ORGANIZATIONS, made an argu-
ment in favor OF the bill. asserting that
some central authority should be entrust-
ed with censorship moving pictures which
might have bad effect on the mArals of
the youth Of the country.

SCHOOL Change
DEFEAT LIKELY
Expected Commissioners VIII
Not Be Given Control Of
Educational System,
HEARINGS WEDNESDAY
Probable. However. That D. c. Heads
Win Be Given Privilege of APP
pointing School Board.
By JOSEPH p. AMIN.

Defeat Of the Commissioners recon-
mendation that the entire school system
administration be turned over b them
Is expected TO result from the hearings
which have been called before Chairman
Lioyd's subcommittee. OF the House Dis
trict Committee for wednesday morning
Indications art that while the appointive
power viii be vested in the Commissioners
as to the Board OF Education. none OF
the authority of the board will be with
drawn.
This means that the appointment of
the superintendent Of schools and all ad-
ministrattve and disciplinary functions
now appertsining to the board viii be
undistrubed-
be given the Commissioners for two
principal reasons
/ To relieve the District Supreme
Court Of a duty which members of the
court do not believe rightly should de-
volve upon them
. In order to furnish machinery for
the removal Of members of the Board
OF Education for good and sufficient
reasons.
No Machinery fer Removals.
While the appointive power now Is
vested IN the Supreme Court Of the Dis
trict. no machinery exists for the re-
rnoval Of members Of the board for cause.
This authority will be vested in the Com
missioners, but authority to review de-
einons or acts Of the board win not Be
granted. "
The bill offered by the Commissioners
through the chairman of the House Dis
triet Committee provides that "all the
authority. duties, discretion and powers
now vested in the Board Of Education
shall be transferred to
and vested in the Commissioners of the
District Of Columbia including the ap-
potntment Of a director Of education and
the making Of promotions and changes
in the teaching personnel
Representative Page, Of North Caro-
Ina chairman Of the subcommittee on
District appropriations. will introduce a
bill amending the existing law only to
the extent Of investing the Commission
ers with the appointive power as regards
the Board Of Education. Representative
Page and Chairman Lloyd, OF the SUB
committee, are in virtual accord with
each other and with the justices Of the
District Supreme Court on the provisions
Of the bill, and IL the House District Com
mittee reports favorably on a measure
acceptable to Mr.. Page its provisions
probably will be Incorporated in the Dis
trict appropriation bill when that meas
ure reaches the floor Of the House.

AMERICANS KILLED TO

they were being led into the brush. I
believe these two men were Pierce and
Mccoy.
'some of the Mexican passengers on Tn.
train attempted to nee. believing the
bandits were going to kill US all, but
Cesaro Ortega. one Of the band I had
known In the revolution. assured us that
we would not be molested.

with that he left our coach ana went
into the cars behind to help round up
the other Americans
"All the while I could hear cries ana
shots from, other parts OF the train
One American whose name / do not
know, when cornered by villistas and
ordered from the train, cried out: Don I
kill me for Gods sake. have a wife
waiting for me- A Villista, grinning,
replied, Get on or wen shoot your
heart away. III tell your wife she can
have your body to- feed to her dogs
The American then started for the car
door ahead of his two captors. l was
close behind. but stopped near the drink
Ing fountain by the doorway as IL TO get
some water. When the door opened and
he stepped onto the platform, 1 heard
a shot, followed by a shrek. When /
leaned over a seat and looked out OF
the coach window, I saw him writhing
ON the ground. Blood was pouring
from hole In his throat Two Mexi-
cans then jumped to the ground and
began TO search his clothes
"Good-by, Mamma"

must take his clothes of quicklyr They
tore the clothing from the body of the
wounded man as he moaned in agony.
by this time several of the unfortu-
mates were dead or dying beside the
train. ] looked out and saw six or seven
more lined up against the car, thelI
backs almost touching 1t and their faces
looking TO the north
''The doomed men seemed stunned by
the horror OF what was occurring Look
ing more closely, could not see one man
tremble, but several were muttering as
though in a delirium.
They were not thirty feet from me
and heard clearly the words 'Good-by,
mamma from one OF the men, a little
fellow whom 1 believe was Anderson.
Two of the men-I can see them now

they had received. Bayonets had been
thrust into their arms and backs and
the blood was trickling in fast-widen'

other had been shot and the wound was
in plain sight on his thigh.
