Steps aiken to Stop
Plays in German

Preliminary steps to stop the produc-
ton of plays in German theatres of
New York were taken yesterday by
members of the Intimate Committed
Tor the Severance of Enemy Relation
ship, under the direction Of Mrs. Will
lam Jay, of $50 Park Avenue, whose
activities were instrumental in the in
ternment of DR.. karl-Muck former
leader of the Boston Symphony Orches
ira.
In letters sent to the Yorkville and
Irving Place theatres the committee
called upon the management to cease
further productions in the enemy
tongue This request, the letter said
was made in view of the intense feel
ing on the part of patriotic Americans
against the use of the German
language.
Otto Goritz. who was ousted from
the metropolitan for alleged pro Ger
man views, is performing at the Irving
Place Theatre. it was learned yester-
day. This is thought to be one of the
factors which hastened the action of
the committee.
Although the management of both
theatres admitted the receipt Of the
request. they refused to say what ac
ton they would take.

court to-day The penalties ranged
from $40 to $100. Sherrold Kent, SON
OF Professor c. F. Kent, who had two
charges against him, was discharged,
the court finding that all he did was to
inquire from an officer as to the pro-
cedure in obtaining bail for the others
arrested.
Kent was not in the parade. 1t was
brought out that he was clubbed by a
police officer after asking a question.
John H. Mitchell, of Wellesley, Mass,
who is said to have laughed at Mayor

the peace, the court holding that as
he was arrested by order of the Mayor
after laughter he could not have been
guilty of failure to disperse upon
order.
The highest fine came through con-
viction on two counts, the defendant
being o. F. Dawson, of Dayton, Ohio
Judge Hoyt said he thought it unfor-
tunate more of the paraders had not
