COURT REVERSES
CONVICTION OF MOENS

The District Court of Appeals, in an
opinion by Mr.. Justice Van Orsdel. to-
day reversed the conviction and sem
tence of Herman NJ. Bernelot Moens,
who claimed to be a scientist from
the Netherlands and was found guilty
of having obscene pictures in his
possession and sentenced to serve
twelve months at Occoquan.
Chief Justice Mccoy, who presided
at the trial, declined to grant a mo-
tion in arrest of the judgment made
by counsel for the accused. who
claimed the indictment was defective
in that 1t failed to charge that
Moens knew of the obscene character
of the pictures.
The appellate court holds that the
motion should have been granted and
declares the Indictment insufficient
because of the failure to set forth the
charge of guilty knowledge.
The decision will have the effect, IT
is said, of dropping the prosecution
of Moens, unless new indictment be
returned against him.

Clement announced last night that
he would not call a special session
of the legislature to consider rati-
flying the federal woman suffrage
amendment. as recently requested in
a resolution adopted by the repub-
lican state committee He made
known his decision throgh a letter
to Col. J. E. Piddock, chairman of
the committee, which he made public

mittee, Gov. Clements said in his
letter. appeared "to be good politi-
cal propaganda, and, If so, will ade-
quately serve. the present purpose.
He added that the proposed federal
amendment would radically affect the
state constitution, and for that rea-
son he preferred to have the voters
register their opinion by a referen-
dunn before calling upon the legisla-
ture to act in the matter
The governor pointed out that a
committee was recently appointed to
suggest amendments to the state CON
stitution. and, in his opinion. some

CAPE COD CANAL CLOSES,
AS OWNERSHIP DISPUTED

BUZzARDS BAY, Mass, March l.
The Cape Cod canal was closedStoday
as a result of a controversy over its
ownership. Pilots and bridge tenders
were withdrawn when the Railroad
Administration relinquished control at
midnight, and the Boston, Cape Cod
and New York Canal Company, former
owners. had issued no orders today to
resume operations.
Capt. H. F. Coiberth, general man
ager. said he would refuse passage to
vessels for lack of authority. He ex-
pressed the opinion, however, that the
situation would be ended soon by in
structions which may have been de-
layed by belated mails.
The differences between the govern
ment and the canal company grew out
OF the question Of the value Of the
canal. The government seized the
canal by the right of eminent domain
and entered suit to have jury fix
the price. The jury set the value of
the canal at sl6,so1, POI. The govern
ment had offered $S,250,00O. An ap-
peal from the jury award was taken
and Is pending
