Former Champion Steer
Roper Is Electrocuted

Casa Grande. Ariz. Clay Nc
Gonigall. a cowboy widely known
in the southwest, was electro
cuted on the Sacaton Indian res
ervation sixteen miles from here
late yesterday when he came in
contact with a power wire car
rying II, 900 volts. McGonigall,
who was employed on the gov
ernment experimental farm on
the reservation, was driving a
hay rack and stopped to try and
adjust the live wire which was
hanging low over the road, so
that his wagon could pass. He
took hold of a steel cable sus-
pended from the wire and re-
ceived the fatal shock from it.
McGonigall was for several
years champion steer roper of
the world" He had won num-
Der of prizes at the state fair
and the Prescott Frontier Days
in cowboy sports. He is sur
vived by a widow and a son of
16. Burial probably will be in

Picture Theater Owners
After "MOvie Reform

The biggest sufferers from the
recent moving picture scandals
have been the movie theaters.
They have lost heavily in pat
ronage and prestige. This fate.
they protest, is undeserved, be-
cause under contract provisions
unknown In any other avenue
of trade" they are obliged to
contract and pay. in part, for
pictures before the pictures are
produced, and they are not con-
suited as to what may be in
jected into the pictures, or as to
the character of the cast.
There is much truth in this
complaint. The present situa-
ton, however, may prove fortu-
nate in the end, for it has driven
these film exhibitors to revolt.
In public statement. the Mo-
tion Picture Theater Owners of
America say:
In the future we will abide
by no such unbusinesslike con-
ditions. We will stand up
squarely as Independent theater
owners, and will tolerate no i'm
position of picture or people out
of keeping with proper commu-
nity ethics and decent modes of
life. Those who make pictures
must be as decent as those who
come to our theaters to see the
pictures. Upon this we will
insist. We will not accept the
product of any studio under any
other condition.
In this connection" they
add, I'VE will submit our case

They are right. The public
is the judge and the jury.
Aroused by the California scan
dals, the public has already given
it's verdict, by word and act, re-
garding those scandals and also
regarding the indecent types of
film drama with which they seem
to have an obvious connection.
The public may be trusted to
support loyalty any such move
as this for clean drama. 1t will
also support anv concerted move
for improving the artistic quail

exhibitors care to take an in
