MINORS BARRED
FROM POOLROOMS
Judge johnson Warns Poolroonn Op'
orators That Youths Must
Be Barred.

Calling all pool room operators be-
| fore him by a warrant served by Con-
stable Mike Murphy. Judge VIII l.
Johnson gave them lecture on al
lowing minors to frequent their places
of business and warned the operators
that in the future the operators would
be held for trial on this charge. The
judge told the men that it was a vlo-
latfon of the state law to allow minors
to frequent the places and that pa
rents of many of the boys had been
making objections to the practice.
The judge further told the men that
he had called them before him to warn
them to stop the practice. lie SAID
that the law had been very loosely en-
forced, if at all, for several years past,
and that it would be unfair to start
the enforcement without a preliminary
warning. For that warning he told
them he had called them before him
and that in the future the operator
would be called before the court OF
record for trial if the law was again
violated.
Constable Murphy had visited sew
eral places before the warrants We're
issued and had secured the names of
several of the minors who were seen
hanging around the pool rooms. With
this data the judge confronted the
operators and cited the Florida stat
utes on the subject. The operators
were appreciative of the warning and
informed the judge that the practice
had been customary in the past, but
that they would see that minors We're
kept clear of their places of business
in the future.

Ceddes Declares
Germans Whisper
New Propaganda
British Ambassador Charges
Revival of Campaign to
Disrupt Allies by Spread
ing Rumors and Suspicion

Whispered propaganda, described as
"too much maudlin sentiment in behalf
Of Germany" by subsequent speaker,
came in for outspoken denunciation by
the British Ambassador, Sir Auckland
Geddes, in an address last night at the
annual dinner of St. Georges Society
in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. The
Ambassador had reference not alone to
the methods employed by German ennis
sarie sand sympathizers now at work
throughout the Allied nations, but to
the propaganda being spread by
"broken and defeated men who have
nothing to lose and all to gain"
These rumors anr suspicious" de-
clared Sir Auckland, "are all part Of a
game to trouble the waters that these
men may go fishing. 1t is vital that all
interested in maintaing the freedom of
the world stand together and oppose
these base suspicious which are in
tended to make us feel less friendly
toward each other

think the whispers will do much harm. u

knew of no question that is not easy
of solution that could not be settled

White Plains Fund for
Heroic Mother Favored
Resident, Influenced by Edito.
rial i'm Tribune ON Mrs. Cis-
ling. Backs Movement

AS the result of an editorial which
appeared recently in The New York
Tribune, suggesting that a Carnegie
medal be presented to Mrs. Norman
Girling, Of White Plains, for her
bravery in descending into forty foot
we'll and saving her fourteen m onths-
old son, Thomas E. Bancroft, a promi-
nent White Plains resident, yesterday
suggested memorial fund for the
brave mother. Mr.. Bancroft has out
lined his plan for the fund in letter
to newspaper of White Plains.
The letter says:
"Your attention is called to the en-
closed clipping from to-day's issue of
The New York Tribune. Is such an
example of heroism by one of the
women of White Plains not worthy of
due recognition by every one of its
inhabitants? May we not show this
brave woman some tangible evidence
of our appreciation Of her wonderful
achievement? Let each and every one
of us contribute a nickel, that with
10000 such contributions 81 900 may be
deposited to the credit of her two
children, or a suitably engraved piece
of plate presented to the mother. Thus
we would be showing, in a small way
our appreciation of Mrs. Norman Girl
ing's valor."

Borah to Push Action
For Free Canal Tolls

from Il ne 4 TtuAU6'S W uSHtH1tOV DHFeUW
WASHINGTON. April Ex-senator
Boran. chairman Of the committee on
Intcroceanic Canals, to-day called n
meeting of the committee for Monday
to consider the bills for free tolls for
American shipping in the Panama
Canal.
1t is the purpose Of Senator Borah to
bring about an early report on free
tolls. He expects stiff opposition, how
ever. Part Of this opposition, as Sena-
tor Borah is informed, will proceed
from the trans-continental railroads.
The position of the trans-continental
railroads is that the business of the
canal is rapidly increasing, including
the business between the Eastern and
Western coasts Of the United States,
that even without free tolls the roads
are feeling the effect of the canal traf-
fic. and that free tolls would increase
the adverse effect on them. In view
Of the stress of railroad conditions
now, they hold that it is especially un-
desirable to enact free tolls legislation
Senator Borah will oppose delaying
committee action by holding hearings.
Senator Jones, Of Washington, chair
man of the commerce commission, is
an ardent advocate Of free tolls and
will back Senator Borah in trying to
secure early action.
