Boles Member of Order
Grand Lodge Appealed To
for Aid in Obtaining Rec

.Snecinl CoxrssnnndI

Special Correspondence
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Jan. 31.-Mem-
bers Of the Order Of Elks here have
received an appeal from the Tampsco
(Mexico) lodge, asking that San An
tonic lodges, as we'll as other lodges
throughout the United States, petition
the Grand Lodge to appeal to all Elks
in the United States against the condi-
tion in which Elks and other Ameri-
cans find themselves in Mexico.
Tho original appeal from tho Tam
pico lodge protests against the death of
Earl Boles, an Elk, who, with Jack
Roney, another American, was killed
recently in the Tampico oil fields. The
appeal sets forth that Americans in
Mexico have complained to deaf ears"
in the Wilson Administration for re-
lief, and the deaths of Boles and Roney
constitute only another instance Of un-
punished murder in Mexico. The ap-
peal reads:
"On the morning Of January 5, 1920,
Brother Earl Boles. who In company
with Mr.. Jack Roney WAS fulfilling his
duties ss an employee Of tho Interna-
tional Petroleum Company, was foully
and brutality murdered.
Story of Murder Reeounted
"The facts of the case, as closely as
we can ascertain, are as follows:
These men were dispatched from their
camp to that Of the Texas Oil Com
pany, about two miles south, for gaso-
line. Upon their return, unarmed. in
their omobile the road was found
10 be blocked with rocks, and it is as
sumed that these men were in the act
Of clearing the road when they were
fired upon from ambush. 1t appears
that Mr.. Roney was shot through the
left arm and body and either fatally
wounded or instantly killed, and after
shot through the heart. Brother Boles
was found short distance from the
automobile in which they were riding
shot through the foot and stabbed in
the back, just below the shoulder blade
the wound extending through the left
lung
"The location Of this crime is on q
narrow neck of land between the La.
guna (lake) of Tamauha and the Gulf
Of Mexico, just south Of Tampico, anc
in close proximity to Carranza (gov-
errment) garrison.
Both men-Brother Boles especial
ly, who has been in this section longe,

BERLIN. Jan. lb-The experiment
with the uncensored Aim has had its
day in Germany, and now the govern
ment ds about to put on the brakes
again. Freedom from censorship de-
generated into what looked like rivalry
IN showing suggestive and even indecent
films. Under the p, 'ense of warning
the young against sexual alterations
called enlightenment films" which were
oarefaced and shameless appeals to d
saiacious curiosity; and this went on for
many months under the wholesale
incense prevailing since the public CEN
sorshlp was abolished in November, 1918.
Ihis pandering TO evil instincts had
grown to be such q scandal that when
the National Assembly came to adopt
the constitution it ingrafted into the
clause abolishing the censorship an ex-
ception In the case of the moving pic-
ture shows. After that was done some
or the leading managers who had tried
20 keep their films clean started a move
ment for so-called self~censorship Ac-
cordlng to their plan the film industry
was to organize a sort Of commission to
pass upon all films before thev could
be publicly exhibited; and a number of
literary men, educational workers, art.
ISIS and other men and women Of prom
lnence supported this movement for g
time.
There wss at the same time a sharp
campaign in the public press and on
the platform against the Indecent films
and their makers. The film industry
itself had good grounds for supporting
this public protest, aside from the
moral one, the food of suggestive
German films was doing great damage
abroad to the German film industry.
Demand for Legislation
Meanwhile the demand for legislation
grew more imperative. Another public
meeting was held fortnight ago, sup
ported by some SO societies Of young
people In Greater Berlin, to protest

Teachers College Plans
For Library Completed
New Building Will Occupy Plot
in the 120th Street
RIOck

Plans have been completed for . new
library for Teachers College. Colum-
bia University At present. hundreds
Of volumes needed IN research work
arc stored In the basement and addi-
tional accommodation has long been
considered necessary by the authori-
ties. The new building will occupy
the only remaining plot Of ground in
the block between Broadway and
Amsterdam Avenue, facing on 120th
Street. 1t will be six stories high, four
stories being devoted exclusively to
the library. Two floors will be used
for reading rooms. Together the
rooms will be large enough to accom-
nlodate 500 readers at one time. Two
other floors will be furnished as study
and seminary rooms for postgraduate;
students Each OF these rooms will
accommodate IT'S students. Provision
will be made for 350,000 volumes, with
storage space in the basement for 250,-
900 volumes not in constant demand.
Of the 5000 students now enrolled
in Teachers College over 900 are TAX
ing postgraduate courses, specialize
ing in advanced teaching and school
administration. There are more post
graduate students in Teachers Col
lege than are to be found specializing
in education in all the other colleges
and universities in the country COM
bined. Presidents and deans of COL
leges are among the advanced students
enrolled each year. The nature Of
their work involves much research and
reference. The new scheme will mean
that the facilities of really first
class library will be at the disposal
OF the students.

thoroughfare with FIVE rows Of beauti-
ful shade trees, one along the edge of
each curb and three in the center, Fifth
Avenue is likely to become the most
magnificent Of streets. At Seventy
ninth Street the west side roadway
could turn westerly and run back of
the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the
form OF semi-circle, connecting again
with the avenue at Eighty-seventh
Street, just north of the Eighty sixth
street transverse road. From this
point north to 10th Street the avenue
might again become 1870 feet in width,
including the central pathway or walk.
\ Sunken Garden
My plan proposes to convert tho
'o"er reservoir (35,2S9 acres) into a
sunken garden with patch, shrubs and
flowers The reservoir walls might be
removed. This would leave q clear and
Inobstructed view across the park
from the west side roadway that now
i1lnges Central Park West to the east
side roadway skirting Fifth Avenue
Along the outer edge Of the reservoirs
an additional roadway might be con-
structed tor vehicuar traffic with -
pathway for pedestrians twenty feet
wide.
Such foliage could be planted along
~'O D'NS VI eiiio iOuQWdy ana pam
way and in the sunken garden as tho
landscape artists of the city and the
perintendent of the park consider
suitable.
"On the site OF the large reservoir
and just north Of Eighty-sixth Street
the Memorial Hall might be erected
1t should not exceed two stories in
height and might be $50 feet wide and
$50 fet deep. The style of architec
trre and exterior decoration should be
such as the architects and sculptors Of
the city determine. In this memorial
building the standards and trophies o.
war might be preserved On Che sec
ond floor there should be larcn ,s
scmby chamber where DISTINGUISHED
guests of the city may be received aa
which would be available for the use Of
military and naval organizations. In
addition, there should be reading and
rest rooms in this building for the use
of soldiers, sailors and the general
public.
Further, my scheme embraces tho
erection of an amphitheater just north
Of the great memorial hall. large
enough TO hold 10000 persons in the
open. Free music could be provided.
and 1t Is proposed that athletic, and
Olympic games shall be permitted In

$40, 900, 900 War Memorial
IN Central Park Proposed
Utilization of Reservoir Space Declared to Provide
Ample Room for Hall, Amphtheater and Foun-
tain OF Victory; Recommended by M HI. Winkler

The erection Of a memorial hall in
Central Park, an amphitheater nearby,
large enought to accommodate $4,000
persons and fountain to be known as
the Fountain of Victory, are the out
standing features Of the proposed plan
submitted by NJ. H. Winkler to the
Joint Art and Executive Committee Of
the Mayors Committee on Permanent
War Memorial. The total cost of the
memorial would not exceed 10000 900,
Mr.. Winkler says.
In selecting Central Park as the site
or the memorial Mr.. Winkler declares
he was Influenced by the following
considerations:
/. That is naturally adapted for the
purpose, is centrally located, con-
venient Of access, and is the only spot
N the city large enough to accommo-
date the large number of people de-
slrous of participating in such q men
orial.
Will Relieve Traffic Congestion
2. That it will be an added attraction
area by making available q large tract
now covered with water and used un
hece eSsarliy tor reservoir purposes.
3. That it will help to relieve the
present traffic congestion on Fifth
Avenue and make it one Of the most
ATTRACTIVE streets in the world
4. That it viii provide a highway of
which The city is in need
5. That it will enable the city TO
honor suitably its dead and furnish
open air recreation for the living.
1t Is pointed out by Mr.. Winkler
that Central Park cone,ns 843 acres
including land and water. OF this
area l42 0l5 acres Is represented by
the two reservoirs north Of Seventy
th Street Add to this the eight
acres now occupied by the Arsenal
Building and menagerie, and it will be
seen that nearly one-hfth of the total
area Of Central Park now unavailable
could be utilized if the reservoirs ware
abandoned, the Arsenal buildings re-
moved and the animals and birds taken

his report to the Mayors Committee.
This will leave 40 feet on the east and
west side available for vehicular traffic
and the 40 feet in the center can be
used by pedestrians. BY lining this

rounding meadows. The memorial hall
and amphitheater would not occupy as
much space as Is now covered by the
retaining walls surrounding the reser-
voirs All the rest of the new reser-
volr could be laid out as meadow to
be utilized in such manner as the pub
lie authorities may determine.
"On the rocky plateau just south of
the Belvidere, at Seventy Street,
the highest point in the park, might be
erected the fountain of victory. 1t
should be so constructed as to be seen
easily from Central Park West as we'll
as from Fifth Avenue. The entrances
to the. park ought to be suitably
adorned AT the Fifty-ninth Street and
Sixth Avenue entrance an artistic ap-
proach might be made, to be known as
the Roosevelt Memorial. AT the Sixty
entrance there might be a similar ap-
proach called the Mitchell Memorial and
at Fifth Avenue and Scventy-second
Street, the Frick Memorial"
Mr.. Winkler suggests that all of
these approaches, IS we'll as the Me-
mortal Hall, should be constructed Of
pure white marble, and should be ex-
ecuted with the cooperation of the
Municipal Art Commission Of New
York. The proposed plan further con-
templates the widening Of the Eighty
sixth Street transverse road by re-
moving the north wall and adding 100
feet to the roadway.
"In conclusion" he says, 81 desire
to give expression to but one thought,
and that is, when approaching this
sacred and noble service, that you do so
without prejudice or passion that you
weigh carefully the suggestions herein
contained and those contained in every
other plan submitted; that If you find
one more suitable for the purpose. one
more practical or artistic, you discard
this and adopt the other. I think it
pertinent for an intelligent disccssion
Of the matter to say that the southern
end of Central Park was acquired by
the city in 1853 and the northern end
in 1869.
"Tf the committee shall be in doubt
concerning the adoption of any pro-
posed plan, may I suggest that ref
erndum vote be taken through the
press. Central Park is the most prec
ious jewel the city possesses. The
plan herein presented for permanent
war memorial is neither mercenary nor
comm mercial 1t neither detracts from
the attractiveness of the parry, nor does
It diminish it's area
