Approximately 20 per cent. OF the
films reviewed were condemned.
These had presumably all been
passed by the Pennsylvania State
Board of Censors.
In Springfield. Mass, a church
committee found conditions much
less disturbing although the number
OF films reported on was very much
smaller. The condemned pictures
numbered only III per cent. OF the
entire number and cuts were found
necessary in only one. The COMMIT
tee was. in general. well pleased
with what II found.
The Louisville, KY. report con-
demned 1879 per cent. Of the pic
lures viewed and found that nearly
a third OF the total number needed
cuts.
In Dayton, Ohio, sO.S per cent. OF
the pictures viewed were condemned
and almost the same proportion
were considered 70 need cuts-this,
in spite OF the fact that Ohio has a

From Harrisburg, Pa. came the
report that 54.3 per cent. OF the films

The committees were asked TO agree

be due TO the fact that the peak Of

Things That Hindered the Develop

There have been several factors
up TO the present time that have hin
dered progress and development in
China. First OF all. there has been
a lack OF cooperation due 10 want
of sympathy between the govern

has been unjustly apportioned, and
there has been no organization of

DUBLIN, Feb. 1S.-Ireland Is
an ancient nation which from the
earliest times had a distinct civil
ization. What made Ireland what
she was. was that her people lived
wholly within the island as a
separate and distinct community
or nation by virtue of a common
system Of laws. culture, traditions
and ways Of life, and not depend
ing upon any particular political
constitutions.
While this lasted. strangers who
came were absorbed and the ma
tional ways were not interfered
with, being by their attractiveness
such as to enable strangers to be-
come Irish easily and thoroughly.
Then came the English inter-
ference, and England's policy Of
robbery and exploitation. and

sufficiently she began to carry
out her policy-to use us to feed
and enrich herself.

Houses Cannot Be Reopenec
Until Changes in Buildings
Are Made.

Seven Washington theaters
were declared unsafe and closed
eoHty last night by the District
Commissioners.
They are: The National and
Poli's-legitimate houses-Cos-
mos, a vaudeville and picture
house; Metropolitan, Columbia,
Foraker, and Maryland, motion
picture theaters. ...-.
The order, based on the re-
port of a corps of experts, who
had made an exhaustive investi.
CATION, was issued at 9 o'clock.
An hour later police had clos
ed the seven houses and token
charge.
The seven theaters will re-
main dark for an indefinite
period.
Regulation Adopted.
Authorization for the drastic
closing order was secured by the
Commissioners by adopting build
ing regulation, made effective upon
it's passage. which would empower
the District authorities to close any
house which does not comply with
the regulations.
Engineer Commissioner Charlie,
Keller, in making public the order,
said that the houses were closed be
cause OF structural defects and fire
hazards.
The order came as an aftermath
to the Knickerbocker tragedy OF
January 2S, which claimed a toll Of
ninety-seven dead and 1873 injured.
It came with such suddenness that
the managers Of the seven theaters
were unprepared to discuss future
plans.
While perfectly willing to comply
with the spirit of the order. the
managers criticized the Commits
sioners for taking summary action
without giving them an opportunity
to voluntarily close their houses.
