American authors working at thigh
mud-pressure' to produce the sort OF
salacious literature which publishers are
anxious to put upon the market was the
picture drawn by John S. Sumner. Sec
retary Of the Society for the Suppress
sion OF Vice, in an address las. night
before the Catholic Club defending the
work Of his organization and condemn
ing further efforts to flood the book
shelves with obscene products.
In addition to the domestic product.
which the society is kept busy tracking
down. Mr.. Sumner said veritable ava
lanche of immoral books are being
brought from abroad. either in the form
OF translations or duplicate editions of
books written in Great Britain. In fact,
he said, that America was becoming the
dumping ground Of questionable liter
ature which could find no sale abroad
on account of the action OF the authori-
ties.
He mentioned particularly in this con-
nection (although he did not name the
author) the works 0, George Moore.
which the author recently announced
would be distributed la private editions
only. Quoting from some OF the ad-
vance advertisements of these works.
Mr.. Sumner said they were being loudly
heralded as "unexpurgated and uniform
with the English editions" "The true
artist" read one Of the announcements.
"is not concerned with morality. religion
or patriotism"
Martin Conboy. president of the Cathc-
lie Club. gave the most unqualified per-
sonal Endorsement to the work being
undertaken by the society. and at the
conclusion OF MIR. Summers address
Judge Alfred j. Talley of General Ses-
sions. asked the members of the club to
do whatever lay In their power to sup
port the aims of the organization. Mr..
Conby quoted the following passage
from the Catholic publication. America.
as an example of the attitude of the
Church on the censorship subject.
1T is TO be feared the editorial read
in part, that Catholics in general are
not giving this splendid society the sup
port II deserves. 1t Is well known that
most Of the improper books and pictures
circulated in the United States are sent
from New York. and 1t Is clear that
much harm can be prevented by check

be infiammable in certain circumstances.
They questioned Mr.. Scaduto also con-

Mr.. Scaduto did not know the name OF
the owner OF the building. but said that
Cannon, vorhees & Floyd were the
agents.
Firemen in going through the ruins
after the blast found. that the bricks
that had formed the walls OF the build

by the force OF the explosion. even the
mortar being stripped from them.
At 12 80 o'clock this morning the
ruins still were burning In places and
a heavy pail OF smoke hung over the

EXPLOSIONS OF NITRATE
SINK LOADED LIGHTER
Moorings Are Cut, Saving
Other Vessels and Pier.

The lighter Pocahontas, with a cargo
OF 3.607 bags of nitrate OF soda, was
blown to bits and sank yesterday after
noon ar the foot of Van Brunt street.
Brooklyn. The cutting adrift Of the
lighter and the corhning of the fire that
preceded the explosions TO the lighter
itself probably prevented a much more
serious disaster.
The United States Shipping Board
steamship West Jaffrey had brought
some nitrate OF soda from South Amer
lea and the cargo was being transferred
to the lighter lying alongside. The 3,6o7
bags were piled up in three heaps on the
deck of the lighter when Ernest Ander-
son, the captain. saw smoke rising from
one pile. He found that in some mys-
torious way a burlap bag had caught
fire.
Eight stevedores who were loading
the cargo threw water on the blaze. but
that proving intellectual they began
throwing the bags overheard The flames
spread rapidly, the deck catching fire.
The crew cut the hawsers and set the
lighter adrift the captain and his wife
and some of the stevedores being taken
off in a rowboat by Charles Smith. who
had been standing on nearby pier.
Meanwhile Capt. Finley OF the West
Jaffrcy. fearing the flames might leap
from the lighter to the larger vessel
lying alongside ordered the matches OF
the West Jaffrey battened down. Ex-
plosions, none very large. however fol-
lowed one another in quick succession on
the Pocahontas as she drlfted away.
Three alarms were sent In and the
fireboat John i'urroy Mitchell started for
the scene. The iremen on shore sue
ceeded in stretching lines across the
West Jaffrey and poured some water on
the burning lighter, but there never WAS
a chance Of saving her Two large ex-
plosions blew out her sides and she sank
In twenty-five feet OF water.
The cause Of the fire could not he
learned, the most acceptable theory be-
ing spontaneous combustion. The loss
was about $4,000. including the value
OF the barge. which was owned by the
Schoonmaker & Conners Company OF II
Battery place.
Had the fire spread, as seemed immi-
nent at one time. not only would the
West Jaffrey have been endangered but
also the Gulf Land and the Bacchus,
which were lying at the pier, beside the
pier and elevator OF the Beard Stores.

443 NEW POLICEMEN
UNDER RESTORED PLAN
Enright Giues Some Credit to
Propaganda.

The ten squad system of police patrol.
which was suspended last spring when
the crime situation became so serious
that Gov. Miller threatened to take a
hand in the checking OF It, was restored
yesterday by Commissioner Enright.
Under the nine squad system patrolmen
had only one day off duty in twenty
nine days OF service now they will have
day each week. The old working
charts for lieutenants and captains also
were made operative again. giving the
officers of these grades more time for
themselves.
Commissioner Enright issued a state
ment In which he declared that crime
wave" propaganda created the situation
that made it advisable to institute the
nine squad system last April. He added |:
"As result of this crime wave prop
aganda and newspaper agitation this
department was fortunate enough to OBJ
tain much needed Increase In the
numerical force of the department OF
433 men. who have been thoroughly
trained and assigned to regular duty
during the last thirty days.
There has been less crime in this
city since January I, 1922, than for the
same period during many years past.
During the first half of the year of 1922
there were 15,017 felones committed, as
compared with II, ,109 in 1921 and H.
371 In 1920.
There has been a more gratifying
decrease in vicious and desperate crimes
during the first half of the year 1922
than in any previous year. notwith-
standing the great Increase In popula-
tion and unsettled social and Industrial
conditions prevailing during this year"
