CHICAGO. May THE defense

defeats today In rulings by JUdg
lands on admission OF evidence

had not been endorsed by general

unsuccessfully tried 20 have strick-
en- from the records testimony con-
corning publication OF several thou
sand copies Of "sa botage" at Spo-
kane. Wash. before the period COW
cred BY the indictment.
In entering objection in the first
instance the defense contended that
the government was binding "A chain
OF evidence about all defendants by
placing in the records acts OF indi-
vidual members Of the organization.
The court held however. that the
acts OF members help 20 form the
structure which served as a mental
guide TO all members.
Not Restricted To Period.
In his second ruling Judge Lands
held that evidence need not be re-
stricted 10 the period covered by tn"
Indictment Counsel for the defense
had made no secret Of the fact that
they expected 20 have part Of the
evidence withheld from the records
on the technical grounds stated to-
day.
Just before adjournment tonight
the government sprung surprise by
reading into the records a petition
signed by nearly a hundred OF the
leaders OF the T. W. w. demanding
return OF all papers seized in the ma
tion-wide raid last fall. This petit
ton some time ago was denied by
the court. In II the members had
explained why they were the rightful
owners Of the matter.
Thus the government, by a short
cut. established the identity and
connection with the l. w. w. OF the
members It was stated that the
move would save days of technical
debate.

Cleopatra Needs
No Censonng; Is
Very Clean Show

The name Of Theda Bara is a
drawing card. because il seems TO
suggest things which are naughty
But in Cleopatra" the big feature
picture which started a weeks run
at the Oliver yesterday. she isn't
naughty, except in the fact that she
shows perhaps just a little more Of
her anatomy than is revealed upon
the streets Of South Bend on a
windy day
The picture is wonder. as far as
the production itself y concerned.
The reproductions OF Egyptian and
Roman cities are very true 10 life
The characters are well selected. and
the settings without exception, are
superb. OF course, the plot doesn't
follow history exactly-but then one
doesn't expect nothing but facts.
There is considerable talk that the
picture should be censored A CEN
sor committee viewed the picture
yesterday afternoon. at the first
showing. upon request of Mayor
Carson. Mayor Carson, il is under
stood. caused this action at the in
stance OF authorities at Notre Dame,
who do not want the morals Of the
students 10 be endangered
The picture, as presented yester-
lay, does not require any cutting Or
censoring of any sort. True, Miss
Bara's costumes are very scant, and
perhaps. were the picture to be
made over. it might be better TO
show less of her body But 70 cut

considerably with the thread Of the
story
And at that, the picture is much
cleaner morally than many "legit-
imates" that appear in South Bend
without even the suggestion Of cen
sOrship. No ones morals are 10 be

Of Miss Bara, and there isn't even

tions" and all that sort OF things
are sprinkled freely in productions
Of today. with. in the writer's opin-
ion, considerably more danger to the
morals than the sight of a woman
dressed rather scantily, because she
is pOrtraying an historical charac-
ter.
No. the picture should not be cen
sOred. The censoring committee
could find much better work to do
were it to view some of the rot
which is shown at some of our So
ciety balls. But no doubt it can't
see things that way.
Why is censorship TO prevent
the appearance of pictures or plays
or books which tend 10 corrupt the
morals of those who are too weak
TO withstand the suggestion.
How are morals corrupted Not
by the picture Of something which

more or less about, but by the sug-
gestiOn OF immoral acts.
Does Cleopatra" contain any
such suggestions NO, decidedly.
It's a perfectly clean picture. Many
opportunities for bringing in some
OF the "hot STUFF which draws TO

overlooked or allowed to pass by
the producer Of the photoplay-a
point on which he is 10 be compli-

It's a picture well worth seeing.

Storm Floods City with

WATER BID. BUYS
Il ACRESOF LAND
South River Tract Acquired for
Additiona! Shed-Ask Alder
men to Finance Reservoir

Chairman Hugh Timmins, of the
real estate committee of the Board Of
Water commissioners, reported at
the meeting of that body last night
that forty-one acres of property along
the South river had been secured to
be used for an additional ground
storage system Commissioner Hugh
Timmins reported that $12,49S had
been paid for the property.
The board has been endeavoring
since January to secure about ninety
acres along tho South river but has
had some trouble in securing clear
title to certain of the properties. 1t
was estimated when action was begun
to secure this property that the board
could purchase the entire strip of
about ninety acres for $4,000. About
one-half Of this property has now
been secured for approximately
500. The board has proposed the
erection of a filterinG plant on this
property in addition to using it for ad-
ditional ground storage purposes.
A resolution requesting the Board of
Aldermen to consider the matter of the
erection of forty million gallon res
ervoir 'of the city reservoir site here
and the financing of the work was in
troduced by Commissioner Harry Con-
ard and unanimously passed.
According to the figures given out
by Engineer George A. Johnson last
month it will cost about 100000 to
erect this reservoir according to the
plans he has prepared. The plans
| as presented by him to the water
board call for q covered reservoir.
The Board of Aldermen, it is under
stood, are not in favor of the cover
| ing of the reservoir as they believe
| the additional cost is not absolutely
necessary. 1t has been estimated that
the covering for the reservoir will cost
100000. Thus, if an open reservoir
is constructed it may cost about $780,
900 instead of the 100000 estimate
made by Engineer Johnson.
A bond issue would be necessary
for the construction of a reservoir but
before such an issue can be f1oated 1t
will be necessary to secure the ap-
prevail of the Capital Issues Commit
tee
A petition for water main on Car
son avenue from Compton avenue to
Brace avenue was received and re-
ferred to the pipe committee to in
Vestigate and report back.
The finance committee recommend
cd the renewal of a $4,000 note for
three months. Bills amounting to
$14,5S5.23 were ordered paid. The
report of the Collector of Revenue for
| the month of May showed total water
collections amounting to $2S, 1922
of which $23,925.13 was current and
S339S23 for bills in arrears.

one of the Boards houses at that
place was received and referred to the

CAPT. 4. P. SimmondS Will
Speak at Red Cross Fete

At the Red Cross festival which will
be held at Fairholme, the residence
of e. II. Boynton, on the east side of
Railway avenue, Woodbridge, on the
night of Flag Day, Friday, June IA,
Captain A. p. Simmonds, well-known
military observer and Strategist. Will
speak on bringing the War Home" "
Captain Simmonds was in Europe
at the outbreak of the war and is in
a position to relate a feature of the
war which few, if any, of the other
lecturers on this great subject can
tell, namely, the mobilization of the
German army, the rapidity and efii
cheney of which amazed the world.
Captain Simmonds also tells of the
devastating effects of the German oc
cupation of Belgium and Poland. He
has lectured for the United States
government all over the country The
thoughtfulneSs and mpressiveness of
his talk have won many recruits for
military service and hundreds of thou
sands of dollars in subscriptions for
Liberty Bonds and other war pur-
poses.
He does not depend upon the arts
of rhetoric to please his hearers, but
tells simply and truly the conditions
in Europe as he saw them and draws
incontrovertible conclusions with ref
erence to the responsibility of our
own country in the war.
Few speakers upon this great sub
ject have succeeded SO well in m owing
and inspiring audiences.
Fairholme adjoins the Barron Ii
brary and record crowd is being
looked forward to at the Red Cross
fcte next week.
