FOES OF CROWDER
HONOR WIN FIGHT
Bill to Retire Him as Lieu
tenant General "TaIked to
Death" in House.

Legislation to place Maj. Gen.
Enoch H Crowder, the wartime pro-
vost marshal general. on the retired
list as a lieutenant general was lit
orally talked to death in the House
yesterday by a determined minority.
At the end of several hours of
wrangling and in the midst of par
liamentary tangle that seemed to
have no head or tail. the House was
forced to adjourn. leaving the bill
stranded at the top of the private
calendar, which cannot possibly be
reached again this session. Oppo-
nents of the measure, passed by the
Senate and called up and set aside
often in the House of late. formed
and held a f1yingwedge that held
back d larger element seeking and
fighting for it's adoption.
Private Bills Go Under.
Going down with the Crowder pro-
poSal were a host of highly important
private bills. Some effort may be
made to bring it up. but leaders dis
missed the suggestion. The bill had
it's day in court, they said, and had
failed to pass.
Filibustering methods and endless
demands for roll calls began after
members had refused to give all the
time desired by .aose who wished
to speak.
Representative Rucker, democrat,
from Missouri. Gen. Crowder's home
state. made the principal fight to
keep him from leaving the Army
with higher rank than he holds to-
day. but another man from Missouri,
Representative Newton. republican, went
TO the front and champoned the gem
erals cause. Representative Greene,
republican. Vermont, acting for the
military committee, made an earnest
plea for the bills passage.
Chief Point of Opposition.
The chief opposition as expressed
on the floor was based on the belief
home and abroad, Gen. Crowder, now
in Cuba. as the special representative
of President Wilson, should not be
singled out for special recognition.
The soldier element, headed by Rep
resentative Johnson, republican, South
Dakota, who quit the House to serve
o erseas. fought the proposal. and
friends of officers recently mentioned
for promotion insisted Gen. Crowder
had no claim to distinction denied to
other men. Most of the opposition,
however, was on the democratic side.
Flood of Points Of Order.
While the opposition was greatest,
Representative Barkley, democrat,
Kentucky, endeavored to have the
-opedheT entertain IiiolioH tHdL tHe
bill be indefinitely postponed. but it
was lost in a flood of points of order
that tangled proceedings to such an
extent that the measure actually was
felt where the Kentucky member had
sought to leave il.
Seeing prospects of a fight that
would continue until midnight if he
attempted to rush the bill through,
Mr.. Greene, at the whispered sugges-
tion of Representative Mondell. the
republican leader, moved adjournment
and it was carried with a Whoop.

CENSORSHIP VARY
D. c. Commissioners Receive
Protests and Endorsements
of the Proposal.

A number of letters have been re-
ceived by the Commissioners in the
past few days from citizens protest
ing against censorship of motion pic
lures in Washington. The city heads

DIR. Reginald r. Walker, the Rocham-
beau, wrote the Commissioners that
after a full days work 1 have en-
joyed the relaxation accommodated
by attending motion picture show,
and / have yet to see anything i'm
proper shown on the screen" DIR.
Walker said he felt sure that if the
motion picture theaters presented
films that required censorship the
people of Washington as whole
would show their disapproval by not
attending such shows"
Gives Reasons for Opposition.
Thomas w. Gilmer, an official of the
Treasury Department, told the city
no official could be found with suffi-
cient judgment and taste as an artist

out. You might as well have police

National Museum galleries. All drama

with the outcome in suspense and
coming to climax. If the good alone
should be shown there would be no
contrast and no interest. The
theaters would close for lack of
patronage, and the people would be
deprived OF their most cherished and
least expensive amusement. The peo-
pie cannot be forced to attend
churches. prayer meetings and cit
izens' associations or other places
where very good people predominate.
Endorsed by Association.

as follows:
THAT unless a better method of

formances should be established by
our District government"
