Portland, Ore, Sept. 9.-Advocat-
ing system of licensing motion
picture producers in the manner in
which the saloon was licensed in
the pre-voIstead days, Dean
Charles N. Davis, executive secre-
tary of the Social Service depart
ment Of the Episcopal church, ad-
dressed the members of the Port
land City club yesterday. His sug-
gestion came in a denunciation Of
censorship.
Censorship has too many dan
gers" he declared There is no
standard for censoring. One board
may see good in a picture where
another sees nothing but wicked
ness. Then there is the danger of
those in authority to use the films
produced to further propaganda of
their own desires. 1t is an inroad
on free speech and thought"
DR.. W. P. S. Fleming, represent

said:
I'VE are in the midst of the most
tremendous nationwide slump in
morals that We have ever seen. "
He attributed it to the war and COZ
ditions preceding the war. Prize
tights, Sunday movies and laxity in
Sunday observance were de-
nounced. He spoke Of a motion
picture control bill and declared

Chicago, Sept 9.-After a series
of marital squalls which only the
poetic could weather, Mr. and Mrs.
Edgar Lee Masters left Chicago on
their second honeymoon. They are
enroute to Spring Lake, Michigan,
the country home which the couple
have not visited together for two
years, where they will stay for
some time.
Their daughters, Madelyne, Is,
and Marcia, 13,. hit the honeymoon
trail with their parents. while their
23-year-old son Hardy is already at
Spring Lake waiting for the tem-
peramental author OF the Spoon
River Anthology and his newly rec
onciled wife.
Although the honeymoon tail
leads over the ashes of many newly
burned documents-the various ap-
plicstions for separation and di-
vorce which have been pending be-
tween the poet. and his wife since
1920-t the friends who brought
about the reconciliation insist that
the gentle breezes of Spring Lake
will blow away the last traces of
misunderstanding. Love for each
other and their children, they say,
has conquered the temperamental
0utbursts and jealousies which led
to the estrangement.
"Mr. Masters and his family are
reconciled at last and everyone is
happy over it," said Miss Harriet
Munroe, editor Of Poetry and a
close friend Of both of the Masters.

SO far rs 1t applies to Bert n.
Jewell, head OF the railway en-.
pl0yes' department of the Amer.
lean Federation Of Labor, and
John Scott, secretary, was fined
in United States district court
today.
The action was begun by Attor-
ney Donald R. Richberg on behalf
of the railway employees depart
ment; and was based on three gen
eral allegations:
That the government had failed
to make q case.
That the relief asked and obtain
ed On a temporary order was pro-

And that the relief was sought
and obtained with Interior objects
and under misrepresentation.

The governments order, issued

Attorney General Harry M. Daugh-
erty. was declared to be the 'mQst
drastic restraining order ever
sought in a strike case"
Mr.. Daugherty declared that the
strike and the resultant interfer-

challenge to the government
The restraining order directed
that the shop crafts leaders and
strikers refrain from in any way
aiding or encouraging a spread Of
the strike or interfering with the
railroads or their employees by vio-
lence or otherwise, and even pro-
hbited the unions from using their
funds for issuing statements

Poet and Wife Weather
Marital Squalls and
Take Honeymoon Trail

long series Of court proceedings
pending for the two years between
the couple. The suggestion that the
well known author had been infat-
uated with another woman is char
acterized by his counsel as most
ridiculous" for the moment at least
all is peace and serene in the re-
united family Of the Masters.
Thus ends the domestic tempests
which were first officially recorded
in October, 1920. At that time Mrs.
Masters filed suit for separate
maintenance, declaring that her
husband travelled in Europe and
the orient gathering materials for
his writings while she was COM
PEELED to conduct a boarding house
to pay the coal bill and the educa-
ton Of her two daughters. She
told the court that the Spoon River
Anthology had gone into its goth
edition, yielding the author, with
his other writings, an annual in
come of $4,000. She also filed a
copy of a letter from her husband
which read:
Get a divorce. I'm through.
I'm tired. If you don't get a di-
vorce I'm going to get another
woman in London, where I will be
appreciated and where we can be
accepted for our talents"
A decree Of separate mainten-
ance OF $3.50 was in March Of this
year increased to $500 monthly
Soon after this, however, Masters
filed a. petition to have the decree
set aside on the ground that he was
not represented at the hearing
MSrs. Masters reply was an appli-
cation for divorce in July.
All this has been set aside and
the couple are expected to reach
Spring Lake today.

RESCUE CREWS
THINK MINERS
STILL SURVIVE
Chemical Tests Are
Basis of Be-
lief.

Jackson, CAL, Sept. 9.-(By the
Press.)-A signed state
ment, which company, government
and state officials plan to make
public this morning, will declare
the belief that every one of the AZ
miners entombed in the Argonaut
mine is alive, it was learned last
night. The conclusion. it was as
serted, is based on chemical test
made last evening.
I'VE believe that every man in
the mine is alive" the statement
will say. Chemical tests made at
5 p. m. yesterday prove this. In
substantiation of our belief, we now
offer $4,000 reward to the first crew
that breaks into the Argonaut
mine"
The basis for the assertion that
none of the miners was dead, was
the absence of any Of the gases
emanating from dead bodies in the
air coming from the Argonaus lower
levels, as disclosed by chemical
tests, it was announced.
The statement, it was announced,
will bear the signatures of the men
in charge of rescue operations
which have been in progress a week
ago Sunday night, when fire trapped
the miners.
These officials and the superin-
tendents of all the mines in the
Mother Lode country, we're present
last night at meeting at which
the statement was drawn up ex-
pressing belief that the miners have
survived.
1t was announced that an old
timber bulkhead has been encoun-
tered on the 3,600-foot level Of the
Kennedy shaft. 1t was expected
that this would be chopped through
by today and beyond through pass
age to the face of the Argonaut rock
may be open. However, engineers
who are familiar with this tunnel
fear that a further obstacle will be
encountered in the form of muck
and silt. which have impeded exca-
walton thus far.
More muck and decayed timber
ing instead of clear passage was
found when a bulkhead In the $500
foot level OF the Kennedy mine wal
smashed in early today by one o.
the crew seeking the rescue of the
Al entombed men in the adjoining
Argonaut mine. This setback
means at least another week will
be required to reach the men, il
was stated.
