SEC. DANIELS COMMENTS
ON ADM. SIMS ACTION

BOSTON, Feb. 17-Secretary of
the navy Daniels in letter to Matt
hew Cummings, president of the
Greater Boston Council, Friends of
Irish Freedom, which the latter made
public today, expressed his views on
Admiral Sims recent references to
Sim Fein activities IN the world war.
AZ think the attemp; Of the admiral
to reflect on the irish people reacted
upon him doing them no harm but
doing him injury. Ii is always unjust
to charge a race of people with the
mistakes of a few" he wrote. The
letter, received yesterday, was written
in reply to an invitation of Mr.. Cum
mings to have Sec. Daniels address
the Greater Boston Council at its st.
Patrick's Day banquet, on ll1sh par
ticipation in the war with special re
ference to Admiral Sims remarks.
The secretary said he would be una

COMPANY |
AND MCINDOES
CLASH TONIGHT
Newport Team viii Try
Hard to Keep Up Clean
Slate for Season

Company. L will clash with the
highly touted McIndoes quintet at
School Hall this evening. The game
was originally scheduled for We'd
nesday night, but on account Of its
being the weekly drill night for the
local guardsmen. Manager Fitzpat-
rick reopened correspondence with
the McIndoes manager, who readily
acQu!esced to fixing the date of the
encounter for this evening.
Captain Jimmy Jones has not an
nounced his line up but it will prob
ably be the same as Rsed against
Company Of Laconia. Rudolf Bige-
low will be seen at left forward,
while Shy kennison has been practic-
ing at right forward in preparation
for the contest. Either Harley Stew
ems or Johnny Brouillette will appear
in the pivotal position. Ed. Wells and
Captain Jones will hold the guard po-
sitions.
Thus far, Company l. has not been
defeated on her own floor. -Four
contests have been played this season
on the court at School Hall and each
one has resulted in victory. The
local boys are determined that their
home record will remain clean for the
entire season. Among the hardest
games that have ever been played
in this city was the victory over
Company d of st. Johnsbuy on
December 8, with score of % to
Fl. The last contest played by the
com7anv was on Wednesday, Feb. 2,
when the speedy Laconia five was
bestcd to the tune of 80 to Ia.

two defeats this season, the first at
the hands Of Company D at St.

ASKSMANACERS
TO HAVE "CLEAN"
SHOWS WEEKLY
Lively Discussion of Motion
Picture Regulation at No.
Church Meeting

State motion picture censorship
or more Gttingly expressed by Rev
+. B. Richards as regulation OF
screen productions-was the question
discussed at a two-hour heated de-
bate which took place at the mid
week prayer service of the North
Congregational church, Wednesday
evening. The meeting had been adj
vcltised as one at which the good
and bad in movies" would be discuss
ed and the interest in this popular
subject was manifest by the large
ami representative audience that at
tended. The larger number of those
present were women, there being
only half dozen men.
For the most part the screen in
duStry was under continuous hot fire
but when the smoke of battle had
cleared away the opinion of the ma
jority was firm that there is equally
as much good in the silent drama as
there is bad. The only definite action
taken at the conclusion of the session
was the enactment of a resolution,
fostered by Rev. Mr.. Richards. that
a request be made of both of the To-
cal theatre managers, Fred ellison
and Homer Graves, that they run oc-
casionaly a show that can be adver
tised as absolutely clean throughout,
and amended by Charles Steele TO
the effect that such a performance be
given once or twice a week. Unani-
nous approval was given to this res
olution which will be presented to the
proprietors of both houses.
Rev. w. A. Cate, in offering prayer
at the opening of the meeting allud-
ed to the subject of the evening, say
ing that he hoped something might
come out of the session that would
help the community. He referred to
the movie question as the vital topic
OF the day.
In calling the attention of the au
dience to the question under consid-
eration, Rev. Mr.. Richards declared
that the moving picture was one of
the most serious of the moral prob
lens of the day. He said that there
are immense possibilities for good IN
the movies but that like all other
things they have their bad side.
at is not so much the use of
motion pictures, but the abuse of
them that makes it a serious prob
lem" continued Rev. Mr.. Richards.
"They have succeeded in doing much
good. They have been the means of
bringing human life before us, show
ing us how the people of the world
are living, how they work and play,
etc. There are a few scattered pic
lures here and there that are clean,
wholesome and educational but most
of them are of the cheap kind"
He said the one problem was the
regulation of the motion picture. He
referred to the bill now before the
legislature which provides for CEN
sorship Of the pictures. He declared
that the word regulation fitted much
better than censorship and added that
in large part the arguments brought
to bear in favor or against the ques-
ton were caused by the name.
Rev. Mr.. Richards said he was
pleased at seeing a s;rong, sane, help
full article from Mr.. Cate which was
published in the Caledonian-Record
a few weeks ago and which was
answered by both managers. He de-
clared the question Of regulation had
to do with the molal, religious and
