Of the committees views. The full re-

After conferences with Secretary

development Of the country as are ths

the American officials appointed under
the treaty OF 1915. There can be no
abrogation of the treaty and at this
time no dimunition of the small force
Of marines.

vast mass of the Haytian people, sim

state of almost primitive poverty and
ignorance. For generations there had
been no roads in Hayti, prior to the
arrival of the Americans in 1915. There
are few trails and few towns. There

Ban ON Films
Of Unpatriotic
Nature Sought
Specific Authority To Be
Asked Through Governor,
Says Joseph Levenson.
of Picture Commission
May Request More Funds
Larger Clerical Force Need.
ed, Censor Asserts, Tell
ing of How Law Operates

Joseph Levenson, of the State Mo
ton Picture Commission, announced
last night that the commission intended
to ask specific authority to exclude uu-
patriotic films from the screen and for
increased authority generally. The
commission intends to ask also, he
said, for a larger appropriation and an
Increased clerical force.
The requests have not yet been put
IN shape for transmission to the Gov
ernor, but arc to be included in the
report of the commission, which is due
to reach his hands January Is. The
present appropriation is $4,000.
"We probably shall take up" said
Mr.. Levenson, "the matter Of the or
ganization Of the commission, and the
question whether any further deputy
commissioners are needed to review
films. At present we have woman
deputy in New York and a man deputy
| in Albany.
May Ask Change In Law
at is likely we shall consider re-
quest for the addition of a clause to
the present law expressly forbdding
unpatriotic films. They arc not specif-
ically banned as the statute stands at
present, though it might como under
the clause prohibiting any film that
would tend to incite to crime.
ITO their credit, be it said, no manu-
| facturer has produced while we were in
Office any picture chat could be called
unpatriotic. There have been sporadic
| complaints about a couple Of the old
| films, issued before we took Office, to
which we gave a permit without review
as the law prescribes. Though We could
review such pictures and revoke the
permit, we have not thought to do so,
inasmuch as the complaints were very
scattering and were not numerous
enough to indicate a general dissatis-
faction.
"A number OF the producers promised
when we went into Office to cooperate
and advise with US during the making
of pictures, but so lar only two or
three Of them have kept their promises.
However, we feel that they have be-
come much more careful in producing
their films.
Films of High STANDARD
Gwen the current news makers are
more on their guard, since. all their
subjects now come before US for re-
view. and we have eliminated one or
two already. We do not expect to ask
for any increase in the penalty for
violation OF the law, as the present
punishment, carrying with it the tevo-
cation of permit and the loss of thou
sands of dollars in the picture, has
been found drastic enough.
"The opponents Of the Legislation
have charged that so-called censorship
would throttle genius and interfere
with the aesthetic on the screen. The
best answer is that never in the his
tory of the industry have SO many won
dcrfu pictures been produced and pre-
sented to the public as have been since
the law went into effect in this state"

QUEENSTOWN, Ireland, Dec. rs (By
The Associated Press At the conclu-
sion of high mass at the Cathedral of
Saint Colman to-day Bishop Browneg,
Of the diocese of Cloyne, addressed the
congregation of 1900, urging those who
approved the peace treaty between Ire
land and Great Britain to give express
sion this week to their desire for its ac-
ceptance.
"You know it is contrary to- my prin-
ciples and practice to introduce a mere
political subject into the Cathedral pull
pitt he declared, ''but this matter is
in the highest sense national. The
people are the source Of national au-
thority and their representatives in the
government are expected to voice the
sentiments and convictions of the ma
jority Of their constituents, and, by
providential arrangement. the people
have been given the opportunity of ex
pressing their views as to whether the
treaty, which raises Ireland to the
status of free state, shall! be accepted
or rejected"
Shows Peril in Refusal
The bishop analyzed the treaty and
laid stress on the powers ii gives to the
Irish people. He then discussed the
alternative to acceptance, saying;
Are we to go back to the hideous
conditions OF the last two or three
years--to the tyranny. bondage and
slavery which our forefathers suffered
or become Il free state with our own
Parliament, invested with full powers
to rule Ireland for Ireianu'5 welfare ?
1t is for the people to choose"
In his opinion. 95 per cent Of the
people Of Queenstown favored ratifica-
ton, and he also said that lreland's
friends throughout the world were
strongly for the treaty.
If there were any among the con
gregation who did not approve of the
treaty, concluded the Bishop, they had
an equal right to follow their convic-
tlons.

DEATH HOUSE CONVICT
CLAIMS BANK ACCOUNT
Another Dissatisfied With
Payment for Injury.

The shadow of the electric chair does
not take mems attention from mundane
affairs, it was shown by two letters re-
ceived yesterday by the Voluntary De-
tenders Committee from the death house
at Sing Sing William Marweg, con-
victed In Buffalo of murder and SEN
fenced to die the week of January 20,
asked the committee to get S346 dcpos-
tied In the Williamsburg Savings Bank

taken from him when he was arrested
The police asserted these were proceeds
Of a robbery. but Marweg said he was
acquitted on the robbery charge.
Nathaniel Ingraham, waiting tho re-
suit of an appeal in the murder OF his
daughter. asked the committee TO get
compensation for the loss of finger,
accidentally shot off at the Clover VAL
ley Rod and Gun Club of La Grangeville,
Dutchess county. Ingraham was game
keeper there and was aiming at a
chicken hawk when he tripped and shot
himself in the hand. He got some COM

the amount.

mony, Adams and the young woman
walked up deserted camp street and
joined hands and took each other in
marriage. She said he later wrote let

To all of this Adams offered gem

letters abound In religious quotations

The New York herald., 1921-12-06

In the opinion OF Chancellor
Fielder of Newark, one OF the great
mysteries of this life is that the lives
of real men, were taken on the Eu-
ropean battlefields, while Edgar F.
Adams. former divinity student, of 179
North Ninth street, defendant in a di-
vorce action before him yesterday, was
spared and permitted to return home
unhurt.
Chancellor Fielder's remarks were
contained in an opinion given in dismiss
ing the action brought against Adams
by Mrs. Frances Louise Adams OF 1913
Schenectady avenue, Brooklyn. He ruled
that she had not established the fact
that she ever was married legally to
Adams. Such proof is necessary under
the New Jersey law in all divorce ac-
tions. but Mrs. Adams could offer only
the story of a hasty. unwitnessed con-
tract.
The young woman said she met Adams
in March, 1918. and went TO visit him at
Camp Dix the following month. She tes-
titled they wanted to get married but
could not find clerk on duty at any

SLUSH FUND DENIED
BYFIYEPOLICEMEN
Twomey's Possession of Index
Numbers for Examination
Called Miracle

Five policemen denied yesterday be-

Accounts. the accusation OF Policeman
Patrick j. Twomey, who charges that
they contributed s1,500 each to a slush
fund to assure their success In O civil
service examination for police sergeant
cies. In his confession Twomey said he
turned the money over to Michael j..
Burke. saloon keeper, who boasted Of
being able to fix examinations and who
since has gone to Ireland.
The policemen declared It was mir
acle which they could not understand
that Twomey had on his list OF eighteen
cards the correct index and sheet num-
ber assigned to each for the civil SER
vice examination. They declared they
had not given him the numbers. The

$1,s00 made payable to him by brother
in Penn-Argyle, Pa, and the withdrawal
of $1,000 from the New York Savings
Bank of August last. a few days after

nesses said that Twomeys possession
of their examination numbers was sbe-
yond their comprehension. They testi-
fled they had not talked with Twomey

Of the East River yesterday in rescuing
a three-year-old child who had fallen
into the water. ATaritte sank from sight
once, the child in his arms, and n crowd
of women and children watching help
lessly from the shore thought both were

and managed to grasp a life preserver
that had been cast near him. He placed
the child on this and both were drawn
to shore.
The child was Albert d. Winch Of 534
East Eighty-third street. With several
other youngsters he was playing about
rocks that jut into the East River at
the foot OF East Eighty-third street.
The rocks were slippery with snow and
frozen spray and the child lost his foot
ing and went into the water. AS he
was CARED out the other children ran
screaming for help.
Maritte, who was working nearby,
ran to the end of pier and dived into
the water without even removing his
coat Swimming swiftly. he reached
the child and started back to shore
with 1t. But the cold water and swift
current were almost too much Tor his
strength, and the watchers on shore,
several hundred of whom had gathered
by this time. saw he was firing. Cries
of women brought two other men. who
got life preservers with ropes attached
from a volunteer life saving station
