EACH BOGUS TICKET
WILL CAUSE ARREST
AT THE BIG FIGHT
600 USherS and 800 Police and
Firemen Will Be on Hand
to Meet All Trouble.

Tex Richard, promoter of the Demp-
sey-Carpentief fight, said to-day that
every person who presents one Of the
counterfeit tickets which have been
placed in circulation in many cities
will be arrested at the gates of the
arena in Jersey City on the day of the
battle, July 2, and will be required to
explain his possession of the bogus
pasteboard. In this way 1t is hoped,
that most II not all of the counter
feiters may be trapped.
Detectives under Inspector -Coughlin
say that the band which planned to
sell the fake tickets in New York has
already been trapped, and that no
such tickets have been placed on sale
here. Eight men suspected Of forgery
were arraigned yesterday and the
police say only one, the engraver, is
still at large.
Richard said the number OF seats In
the arena will be 91,6l3. OF these 1000
will be ringside or box seats at $50,
including war tax. Two thousand
seats will be $40 each. 1000 will be
$50. The rest will range down to IS,
and the IS seats will be sold only at
the gates on the day of the fight.
There will be 800 ushers and about
800 policemen and fremen, so that
plenty of help will be ready If any
trouble is started over counterfeit
tickets.
According to the police none of the
bogus tickets made here got out, as
the first seventy-four tickets off the
press in Elizabeth Street we're sold
to detectives for $1,000 in marked
bills and the apparatus for making
them was seized.
Richard said some of the tickets
discovered at Reading were sold
These are purple, $40 tickets. The
tickets can be distinguished from the
genuine by the fact that the genuine
are engraved on the back and are
rough to the touch, while the bogus
tickets are photo-engraved and
smooth. The bogus tickets seized
here are practically perfect tickets.
Inspector Coughlin said he had
received four statements from the
men under arrest here in which they
admit a plot to "clean up" 100000
Two Of those under arrest actually
had the marked bills. In addition t.

Richard expects trouble to de

result OF bogus tickets sold in othel
cities. At each gate will be statione,

STAMPING RIGHT.

Within the past two months there has been noted d number Of new regulations that are bound to be of much value in bringing about an improvement ih the postal service. Cohditiuns had gotten to sorry state. An ambition to make a showing that would indicate a surplus for the department instead of devotihg the necessary attention to providing the service for which the people paid cre- ated many reasons for justified complaint during the last administration.
 In the matter of ten weeks it is too much to expect that there would be overcome all that has been so carefully established. It requires time to recover from deep seated ills. . It Is impossible 10 rcconstitute the whole department by the wave of a hand and nothing of the sort is to be expected Already moves have been made in the right direction that will have the desired effect in put ting new policies and greater efficiency into effect for this great public service agency. The foundation work for the postal service of the new administration is being well laid. It takes time, how evef to tear down quite the same as it does to rebuild, and for that reason it is to the future that we must look for the elimination of the distressing condi- tions which have so long prevailed. | Secretary Hays declares that the aim of the department is to be to expedite the handling of the mails and to see that the second class mail service, which applies to the newspapers, is greatly inn proved. That Is something for which those who rely upon the mail deliveries will be truly grateful.
 i Building up broken morale, putting
 into effect of needed Improvements and bringing about the highly valuable CO., operation that is so vital in this depart ment cannot be accomplished in a min ute, The necessary amount of time must be allowed but with the department headed in the right direction and needed changes already instituted credit cannot fail to be given for the manifest deter imitation to provide the people with the service they demand and pay for, instead Of taking their money and failing tt

PICTURE CENSORSHIP.

As the result of a strenuous fight, during which there was determined ob- position. a law was passed in New York state providing for the censorship of moving pictures. Now that 1t has re- ceived the signature of the governor the opponents make it known that there will be instituted at once an attack upon the constitutionality of the law.
 Tho purpose back of the moving pie turc bill is not to handicap in any way tho manufacture and showing of decent moving pictures. It Is not intended as q handicap to the moving picture indus try in any branch except so far as 1t calls for the elimination Of the demor- alizing films which, a matter of fact are the whole cause of the efforts in be- half of such law
 Long ago there were efforts set or foot for the cleaning up of the picture industry. It was in such the producer: of fims were to give their assistance but it amounted to nothing, and in re sponss to the need of removing the dan gerous and the detrimental the move nent for state censorship that would | deal with these conditions for the wei fare of the commonwealth got it's star and continued to gain in support as con ditions were disclosed.
 In order to sidotrack the law ther was an effort made to have the legisla ton killed or deferred on the promis that the picture industry would under take censorship Of its own and SC to the production of only such finn. as are fit. Experience with such ef forts made 1t inadvisable to consider such a proposition and the result is tha censorship must b4 faced.
 If. however, the producers are $ much opposed t6 1t and provided the are sincere in their offer to bring aboH Q proper regulation of film production themselves 1t would appear to be grand opportunity for them to put int effect their own restrictions and there fore virtually overcome and make un necessary the censorship which they d not like. Their opportunity to prov that censorship Is unnecessary appear 10 be before them.

 During all this period Washingtep's day books. ledgers and letter books were all kept by himself He usually drew up his contracts, deeds and other papers recurring legal knowledge and accuracy.

When Fe was home a day seldom pass ed without the company of friends or strangers at his house. Washington had a relish for amusements.

There is nothing to prevent urging carly action by states upon constitutional amend mehts. That could De done whether there vas restrictive clause in the law or not. 1t was done and done so ehec- lively that there was no approach to the limit fixed.
