Believes Cities Can Run Railways
 Very Efficiently

Washington, July 22.-Municipal ownership of street railways today re- ceived the first time the approval of witness appearing before the fed eral electric railways commission.
 Samuel R. Berton, of New York, who said his banking firm had fin anced about 50 street railway pro- perities including those of Buffalo, New Orleans, Memphis and Birming- ham, declared his belief that traction properties owned by a municipality would be operated efficiently and not be subject to the political and other evils ordinarily ascribed to the form of management.
 MT. Berton agreed with Job E. He'd ges, receiver for the New York Rail ways company, and J. K. Newman, representing traction interests of New Orleans, St. Louis and other cities, who also were heard, that un- less that something was done was done quickly, preferably increases in rates for temporary relief, the plight of the street railways throughout the country would be serious. Mir. Hod- ges said that the companies might "go out entirely and cease to be a part of community life,

question" n c;,..
 He stated yesterday that MT. Sim on deserved the thanks from the pub lie for his willingness to cooperate with a good movement far more than the reported tskinning by E; J, Kerwin before the city council last night. Any man who would defend prostitution would naturally oppose a cleanup of Pine Bluff.
 Ministers other than Dr. Brun- berg were incensed over the action taken by the council Monday night; It is thought that the Ministerial association will take some action Tn the matter. That, however, was not confirmed by any of the ministers. Dr. Brunberg did say, however that It was not known definitely what act on would be taken by tho Minis terial association, intimating that some action was contemplated.
 Mayor Hollis yesterday afternoon stated that in ordering the exhlbl- tion of the picture stopped, he was merely carrying out the wishes of the council, and that the wishes, so far as he was concerned, would be car ried out.

MINISTER SEVERELY
 SCORES CITY FATHERS
Rev. J. A. Brunberg Declares COun- cilmen Had Not Seen Picture, and Took Action Without
 Advising League.

J. B. Simon, manager of the Best theatre in statement yesterday, said that he would take mo legal act ion in the effort to prevent the chief of police from stopping exhibition of the picture "Fit to Win" as ordered by the city council Monday night. He said the responsibility rests with the Citizens league, under whose auspices the picture was brought to Pine Bluff.
 Members of the league last night declined to make any statement as to what the action of the league would be in the matter, if any action should be taken They declined also to discuss a rumor to the effect that a meeting was held yesterday for the purpose of making plans to combat the action of the city council.
 A storm of protest which has arisen as result of the quick action of the council Monday night in barring the exhibition of the picture "Fit to Win" lin Pine Bluff, was voiced fin a statement yesterday. by Rev. J.g A. Brunberg supply pastor. at the First PfeSDyterlan cnufcn WnO denOunced tbe city council for their action in re- gard to the exhibition of the picture, He stated that the members of the council, did not witness the first showing of. the picture, but that Mayor Hollis dropped in "but large ly graced the performance, >< by his absence" <.

FORD DOES NOT
 KEEP TAB UPON
 PH|LANTHROP|ES
Manufacturer Knows Little of Cost of Hospital and Refuge
 for Belgians.

Mount Clemens, Mich, July 22.- Henry Ford, tossed about on chop py sea of hostile examination for SIX days, anchored peacefully in the smooth harbor of interrogation by his friend and personal attorney, AL fred Lucking today.
 MT. Ford's nervousness disappear ed. The shifting of position in the chair was all but eliminated; his voice became stronger and he sighed with apparent relief. It was not on MT. Lucking's program, he knew, to demand sudden definitions of anarchy idealism, facts and figures with re- gard to the army in Porto Rico and Alaska and other embarrassing mat ters not contained in the Lexicon of mechanics, as Elliott G. Stevenson, senior counsel for the Chicago Daily Tribune, defendant in the $1,000,000 libel suit did.
 "I will make it short" said MT. Lucking, referring to the examina- tion, adding with look at the wit ness, under orders."
 Incidentally it became known that MT. Ford has not ceased his efforts to promote world peace. Edwin J. Pipp, manager of news bureau es- tablished by MT. Ford at the begin ming of the suit, announced it was planned to send newspaper cores pondent with President Wilson to re- port the latter's speeches in support of the league of nations, which, he testified, he believes, will assure uni versal samity The bureau, it was said, will distribute ithe correspond ent's stories to a list of papers. Little Attention to Income. q
 It appeared that MT. Ford pays little attention to his income of what is done with it, at least not in detail. He was building the great Ford hospital inf3 Detroit, when the United States entered the war, and it is now operated by the government as, a hospital. +4..s
 "What did that hospitar cost you?'' asked MT. Lucking. { a. q don,tsAr1ow." ! "It cost you a couple; of, millions any way, didn't it ?"
 "Yes, more than that I think; three or four millions, perhaps" said MT. Ford.
 He established a refuge for Bel gians in England in 1914 and still maintains it. He did not know what it was costing him. Questioned as to war work in the Ford factories, Mr. Ford said all of them were devoted to some form of war work. He said he gave his full ltime to supervising this work
 During the examination, Mr. Luck ing received quite as many "I don't knows" and "I don't remembers" as had MT. Stevenson. MT. Ford was admittedly eager to get away, fol there is vaaction in prospect fo1 him with Thomas A. Edison and Johr
 Burroughs, the naturalist, as com panions.

Here. with the great war as background, Mr. Griffith has filmed simple lit tie love story, old as the ages yet eper new. Hearts of the World has proven the latest sensation in the screen world. MT. Griffith real ized that the public which became en- thusiastic over 1.-The Birth of Ma tion'' and Intolerance" would ex- pect something big from him in this latest picture, and therefore instead of trying to out-do himself in stag ing gigantic battle scenes, he used the great war only as background for the filming of simple and at tractive story of tremendous human
