that the naval con- mittee IN deciding
upon battle cruisers without dread
naughts followed the advice of naval
officers who testified in favor of that
class of ships before Congress.
Il stiil adhere to the BELIEF. and
so does Admiral Dewey, Admiral Ben

there should he both battle cruisers

gives us If the Senate, which usually
adds to the House program, provides
also for some dreadnaughts, we will
be satisfied, and if we have to go
ahead with a battle cruiser program

vessels bust as speedily as possible.

By Vote Of Six to Two Rejects
Ordinance Providing for
"Movie" Supervision
FRIENDS SAY THAT
FIGHT IS JUST BEGUN
While Measure Now Stands
Beaten Rev. Dr.. Asbury
Christian Says Will Be No
Lct-up in Campaign

BY the vote of 9 to 2. the Coun-
Gil Committee on Ordinances last
night rejected the proposed ordin-
ance designed to create n board
Of censors to supervise the dis
play OF motion picture films i'll
this city.
There was little argument. 1t
was apparent from the start that
there was no hope for the ordin-
ance. Alderman Paul, who had
introduced IL, as a substitute for
one previously introduced which
fixed upon the superintendent OF
schools as the censor. was aided
by Major Christian In the fight
for the adoption of the paper.
Both these gentlemen spoke briefly
in favor of censorship. Mr.. Paul WAS
particularly emphatic in his language
He said that the censorship was neces-
sary IN order to protect the moral at
m osphere of the city: that the wo-
men of the city and the higher ele-
ment Of citizenship, demanded the
adoption OF the ordinance. He agreed
with Judge Kicks. of the Juvenile
Court, that there should be restric-
lion placed upon the attendance Of
children at the shows and would
favor an ordinance prohibiting chill
dren under fourteen years of age, I'M
accompanied by parents, from attend
ing moving pictures shows.
Objections Como Too Late.
Major Christians argument was
along similar lines. He went further
and quoted the chief of police as say
ing that the complaints received about
films came after the picture had been
q N hAr NJ ErN- ~
TO do.
Therefore" said the alderman.
I'VE should have a board of censors
to go over these pictures before they
are exhibited to our women and chill
frer, and our men. too
Councilman English said he could
see no occasion for approving such an
ordinance. The business men Of the
city are now suffering from an over
abundance of taxation, he said Then
why increase their burdens?
The Mayor whom we have elected
three times said Mr. English. mas
written this committee that he sees
no reason for additional censorship
70 that which is given by his office and
that Of the chief of police. He says he
can handle the situation IL We have

we should recommend the retectio 4
OF this ordinance. The people have
shown great confidence in the Mayor.
