''EXAMPLE" CASE SIDETRAcKED
BY JUDGE FLANAGAN

On the morning of March II Philip
F. Getzen was sOUndIy snoozing in
his room at 2417 W. Polk st, A friend
who had dropped in from Grand
Rapids was sharing the room with
him. At this hour that morning a
strikebreaker employed by the Tay-
lor & Horne Co., II N. Green St, was
slUgged near his home, Wilmott and
HOyne aV.
Getzen, a union musical instru-
ment maker on strike at the Taylor
& Horn plant, was arrested with an
other and charged with the smuggling.
The case came up before Judge
Cavanaugh. Getzen's companion was
released. The judge said of Getzen:
There is no case against this man,
he has a perfect alibi. But the at
toTney for the prosecution demanded
a continuance of the case for a few
days when he saw Flanagan was
about to discharge the accused
worker.
When the case came up again
Judge Flanagan fined Getzen $25.
Getzen appealed for rehearing and
trial by jury. On the date of the
reheaTing he stopped the hearing be-
fore it started.

Convention in Topeka Ready to
Kill Censor Board.
Charge Politics on the Part of
Superintendent Ross.
REPEAL OF THE SUNDAY LAW
Next Legislature Will Be Con-
fronted With Problem.
Screens to Be Used in Most Eff
fective Fight.

Bleeding Kansas. which shed blood
for abolition, prohibition and woman's
suffrage. must bleed again--this time
for movie censorship. A fight, bitter
and backed by thousands and thou :
sands Of dollars, is Just beginning to
open in Kansas for the repeal or utter
rout of the present principle of NOV
ing picture censorship. This much
became known after an hours grill
ing in the Hotel Throop this morning
prior to the opening of the convention
of the Motion Picture Exhibitors
league and the Amusement Association
of Kansas.
Absolute repeal of the movie censor
ship law will be demanded of all can
didates for state legislature and SEN
atorial positions this year thru the
medium of a power, reached and read
with as much interest as the daily
newspapers of Kansas. 1t is no other
than the movie screens of the motion
picture houses of Kansas.
Repeal of the Sunday closing law
ir Kansas is a secondary affair. E. R.
Pearson of Kansas City, a member of
the executive committee of the Anuse-
ment Association of Kansas, admitted
today. Repeal of censorship will be
demanded at first, he declared, and
second, if repeal fails. the motion pic
ture men of Kansas will urge that
something other than the present
censorship law be demanded at the
next session of the legislature.
He Charges Politics.
Mr.. Pearson declared that politics
is being played by the movie censors
of Kansas and that exposes of this
fact would be made at the business
meetings TO. be held during the con
vention. Added to other disagreeablt
facts regarding movie picture censor
ship is the fact that the state has
more than $4,000 of the money OF
the film companies over and above
all expenses of censorship.
With the hot fight in view. the
movie picture men of Kansas as vel
as the film companies have done
everything possible to make the mex
three days convention a success. As
| a result of their efforts nearly as
many movie stars have been obtained
