Denies He's for a Censor
Carl Van Doren Replies
That Public No Longer
Thrills to Naughtiness

The profound questions of whether
modern literature should be pure or
prurlent, and who has the right to de-
termine which is which, and why. en-
gagged the attention of some 500 lit
erary lights of New York City, mostly
women, in the National Arts Club last
night.
1t was debate on "Propriety and
lmpropriety in Literature" with John
>. Sumner, secretary of the Society for
the Suppression of Vice, as the prin-
cipal uph older Of best seller regulation,
by force If necessary, and Carl Van
Doren, literary critic, as the main pro-
ponent of the belief thst societies for
the suppression of vice should find
something better to do than stop au-
thors from getting true expression into
their art, or vice versa
Mr.. Sumner, who declaimed with his
left hand resting unwittingly on a
copy. of "Jurgen' before him on the
speakers table, defended the existence
OF his Organization chiefly on the &c
clesiastic theory that most people, in
cluding book publishers, are constantly
doing foolish things, and that some one
ought to be on hand to save them from
their own folly. The society, he con-
tended, filled the bill in that respect
for authors and publishers, and there
fore should be praised rather than
panned. He declared the society did
Tot seek to establish censorship over
literature.
After quoting the laws bearing On
obscene publications, he went on ia
criticize recent decisions of New York
Judges upholding books condemned by

1t Is believed by the authorities that
the man had some inklinR that there
was trouble in store for DR.. Hall that
night, but that he had no idea that the
anair an was to end in double murder.

on the Clergyman, but they do not be-
iieve that either he or his companion
saw the murders.
After the grand jury has completed

or attempts at suppression, of evidence
in this case.
Certain Men Eliminated
1t was made clear tonight that GER
tain men have been eliminated from
consideration as suspects. Willie Stew.
ems. the mentally sub-normal brother
OF the rector's widow, may, it was said
be witness before the grand jury. He
VIII be asked TO tell, under oath
whether he did accompany his sister
TO the church several hours after mid
night on the night of the murder, as
she has contended. Other witnesses
vii! be A. Fl. Bennett, neighbor, and
William Phillips, watchman at the
State College for Women, both of whom,
say they saw Mrs. Hall enter her side
gate at 2:10 o'clock that morning, and
| that she was alone. Mrs. Hall says she
| did not leave the house until $3.50, and
Willie was with her every second OF
that time.
An official said tonight that he per.
sonally had eliminated Henry Stevens
Mrs. Halls other brother, from consid.
Grafton as suspect, but that he be.

Mr.. Sumner concluded as follows:

complacently sits back and takes no
steps to discourage these harmful ac-
tivlties, it is possible to imagine that a

oped that since the acceptance OF the

OF these cnanges was supposed to have

on the proposed plan. insisting that
since the lease of the Manhattan lines

could not be made effective. Since he
represented more than per cent OF
