divorce suit brought by James A..
Stillman. millionaire banker, against
sumed next Wednesday before Re
fierce Daniel G.. Gleason at Pough-

had been formally withdrawn was re-
ported to be the reason for this &C
ton. Another condition, alleged to
have ben imposed by Mr.. Stillman's
attorneys, was that she give her con-
sent for the children to choose be-
tween their parents. This, it is said,
she has declined to do.
Mr.. Stillman's offer is reported to
have included the withdrawal of his
suit, legal recognition of the legitima-
cy of the infant Guy Stillman. whose
paternity has been questioned in the
proceedings. ana the granting of an
allowance of between $4,000 and 500 =

Mrs. Stillman plans to attend the
hearing. Wednesday, with her son
Guy. The first witness will be Dr.
Hugo Russell of Buffalo, chiro-
practor, who testified at the last
hearing that Mrs. Stillman had con-
fided in him that the banker was not

today signed bill with that provi-
sion. Supervision will be exercised
by the department of public safety.
Exhibition of any film not formally
passed is prohibited. A bill with these
and other provisions was vetoed last
year by Governor Coolidge as uncon-
stitutional, but Governor Cox in a
statement today said the objection
able features had been eliminated
and the attorney general had ruled
that the bill was constitutional as
passed. Instead of hurting the mo-
ion picture industry, the governor
said he bill would help it in that it
would protect the producers of good
film from the competition of a low
order.
Governor Cox in his statement
said:
Much has been said in opposition
to the bill that it the first step in
the direction of general censorship of
the theatre and of the newspapers,
hut | do not so regard the measure.
While many of the producers of films
have made an honest attempt to reg
ulate the business on their own in
itiative. yet they have been unable to
suppress many of the films which do
no good, have no artistic merit and
which have been obsence, indecent,
immoral and inhuman. The producer
of good films is now to he protected
from low competition and all should
join in an endeavor to make it pos
sible for moving pictures to be of
greater service than ever in giving
clean entertainment and instruction.
THE bill is in many ways more fair
to the producers than the laws pass
ed in other states where censorship
has been created. In fact, Massachu-
sets has not attempted censorship in
the strict sense of the term but pre-
scribed certain standards of regula-
ton and right of appeal to the
courts in case of unreasonable deci-
sion. So far as public sentiment has
found expression it has been over
whelminsly in favor of the sort of
regulation which is hereby created

worthy of consideration By the
heavyweight champion of the world"
Kearns made this announcement
when asked whether Kid Norfolk had
refused advances to come here as a
sparring partner. Kearns said all re-
ports that he had made special rates"
to Norfolk are unfounded Norfolk
would be welcome, no doubt, but as
far as going to the point of guaran-
teeing meeting with the colored
heavyweight Kearns would make no
promises.
Dempsey considers that the main
task before him at present is the elm
ination of Carpenter. as he regards
the European champion as the only
logical contender for the crowd
kearns asserts that Dempsey will re-
tain his laurels after the battle in
Jersey City, and declares that his next
engagement will depend upon the
trend of public clamor.
If the American public demands
that he meet Kid Norfolk, or any other
negro. and the promoter is found who

HaiIoWell Easy for Lawrence High
Lawrence took an easy game from
Hallowell, Wednesday, to 1. The
game was rather sloppy and uninter-
esting, being marked by errors on
both sides. However only one of
Lawrence's errors was costly and
Cocker should have had a shutout that
his good pitching deserved
Coker went the full nine innings for
Lawrence. striking out 10, passing
none. and fielding his position well.
But for Marden's error on an easy
fly ball, the down river team would
have gone scoreless.
The Hallowell twirler, Masciadri,
was evidently out Of his position, al
though his support would have dis
couraged any pitcher. He was hit
hard. especially by Greenleaf. who got
single and triple in three times up
and by Coker. Lawry and Dorian.
A queer coincidence of the game
was the batting of Parlin. In FIVE
times up, he hit every time on the
ground to the pitcher, who made his
only assists of the game on these
raps.
