Authority for the action of the health department was taken from an act adopted by the legislature of 1919, which requires the approval by the department of any such films t obe shown in Connecticut.

Industrial Workers of the World, held
in jails here and at Chehalis, in con-
nection with the killing of four Amer
lean Legion members during an Ar
mistice day parade, were centered today
on learning whether former soldiers in
any degree provoked the attack by
leaving the line of march to force their
way into the |. w. w. hall. Testimony
given last night at the inquest over the
four victims OF the shooting differed on
this point
Just after the patriotic parade was
broken up by the l. W. w, fusillades,
reports were current several members
OF the legion had started toward the hall
used as headquarters by the radicals
before any shots were fired This YER
sion later was denied and investigators
reported finding evidence tending to
show that the attack by the /. w. W.
was prearranged.
DR.. Frank Bickford, himself a march

that someone near him in the line sug-
gested raid on /. W. w. hall ais the

shower of bullets poured into and over
the marchers.
In the opinion of DR.. Herbert Bell
another former soldier. the firing Of
the first shots and the movement Of the
legion men toward the l. w w, hall
were "as nearly simultaneous as any
human acts could be"
The body of Ernest Everetts, who was
hanged by mob following the shooting
was buried in an unmarked grave yes
terday by four Of the prisoners, under
guard. after undertakers had declined
to prepare 1t for burial.

PAL LMER'S ATTITUDE UPON
LAW STILL UNCHANGED

WASHINGTON, Nov 14-Attorney-
General Palmer's position with respect
to the enforcement of wartime prohibit
tion has in no way been altered by
court decisions in Rhode Island and
Kentucky, 1t Is officially stated at the
department of justice. The governments
contention that the wartime law Is
valid, II was added, will be vigorously
defended until final decision has been
handed down by the United State su-
preme court.
While enforcement Of the law is
stopped I'm the two states, United States
district attorneys. according to prior ir =.
tion Of violators in other communities,
officials declared.
Department officials differed as to the
results Of the injunction. Some held
that during the life of the restraining
order there was nothing to prevent
open sale of all intoxicants, as COW
cred by the order, Others did not
agree with this belief
With regard to the effect on the con-
stitutional amendment by the Ohio ref
erendum overturning the legislatures $
action, the attorney generals view was
said to be that action by the Ohio cleo
torate would not change the date on
which the prohibition amendment to the
constitution goes into effect. Until the
number Of states ratlfying the amend
ment falls below 36 the department will
not concern itself with the changes ir.

expressed by the officials of Mr. Pal
