Producers, managers and vaude-

this the thousand and one plays
written each year would have to be
submitted and considered before

theater-goers are to see in future

of censors should the proposed bill
become a law. With the broad or

Mrs. Lee S. Fahler Starts Action
Against CITY of MinOt for $4,000


Mrs. Wanie S. Fahler, widow of the
late Policeman Lee S. Fahler has, on
behalf of herself and her 8-year-old
son, Myron E. Fahler, filed a claim
against the city of Minot for $4,000
asked as result of the death Of her
husband by the shooting Jan. last.
The claim, filed by Attys. F. B.
Lambert and E. R. Sinkler, recites
that Mr.. Fahler was acting in the dis
charge of his duties when he was shot
and that he was the sole support of
his family.
Mrs. Fahler alleges that she and her
son are wholly without means Of sup
port and that they are at the present
time dependent upon charity and poor
funds; that she has undergone five
serious operations within the last two
years and that her general health and
nervous system are in such condition
that she cannot earn her own liveli-
hood or do work other than caring
for her small home.
Mrs. Fahler says the reason she has
not filed claim before is that she has
been absent in Iowa where she accom-
panied the body Of her husband and
has but recently returned to Minot.
Mrs. Fahler says she has not received
aid except for funeral expenses, the
source Of which she does not know. .
The employees Of the city Of Minot
are not protected by the state liability
insurance, it is said.
