was considering going back with the
show this season when Brunen was
murdered. Prell defended Brunen in
the killing OF william svitsky in
Mount Carmel. Pa, In 1915, and said
the circus man shot only when he
had been attacked.
Another turn in the case was the
hling yesterday with the Surrogate
OF Burlington county OF a caveat by
George 3. Evans, Moorest own, n. j.,
lawyer, as counsel for Mrs. Elizabeth
Jaeschke, sister OF the murdered
circus man. Her home is in Mil
waukee, and she came here last
week to attend her brothers funeral
and created sensation with LETT
ter Brunen wrote to her charging
his wife wanted to get rid OF him,
and he felt his life was in danger.
He told her he wished she should in
herit everything In case he was kill
ed. Mrs. Jaeschke is In Cooper Hos
pital, Camden, suffering from the ef-
fects OF the shock caused by her
brothers death.
The insurance company in which
Brunen had a $4,000 policy is said
TO have been urged by an attorney
for Mrs. Brunen 20 pay her. as she
ia In need OF funds. Brunen had the
reputation OF keeping a great deal
OF ready money at hand and was
known to carry $500 with him al al
times. SO far as the officials know
there was no money found in his
pockets after the murder The
caveat ties up only money or prop

There Is tendency among some
OF the misguided few TO confuse the
earnest efforts OF some Of our clergy
with the fsnsticisn OF the profess
sionai reformers. One Of the great
troubles in the. censorship hght has
been just this mistake. No man or
woman cares 70 ridicule religion
but they cannot help seeing the alb
surd side to some Of the arguments
set forth by the reformers who
under the gsr'b Of religion are trying
to make this country a place where
only the feeble-ninded will care to
live.
An Illuminating example Of this Is
presented IN an experience Betty
Blythe had IN Texas when she was
making personal appearances there
early this month in conjunction with
The Queen Of sheba." While in
Dallas she had mailed 70 her paper
called the Religious Cause, publish
ed In the name Of religion to reform
the world from all such evils as
motion pictures and the theatre. In
seven-coiurnn head across the front
page these words stared at her;
The Naked Woman OF the
Movies IN Town" Fortunately she
is wearing her clothes this time.
The blue pencil outlining these
startling words made Miss Blythe
realize the one who wrote II was
eager for her to see the article. She
was denounced az a demoralizinr in
huence to the wives and children,
having appeared in the garb OF an
cient Egypt on the screen without
the covering modern civilization
demands.
This was surprising inasmach rs
the picture had run four weeks and
PLAYED to capacity houses with all
the best elements Of Dallas as en-
thuslastic patrons. Taken from the
Bible as the story Is, some OF the
better class OF Dallas ministers came
TO see Il and openly expressed their
approval.
Miss Blythe. much upset over the
article. went to Fort Worth 10 make
q personal appearance. Tho night
she arrived she had handed TO her
over the footlights a gorgeous basket
OF flowers. After the performance a
young girl of is came back to the
dressing room and explained il was
she who had sent the gorgeous
floral offering. Delighted with this
mark Of esteem. the actress thanked
the girl and thought the episode was
closed.
That evening a box OF American
beauties arrived from the same
source. The girl came back 70 the
dressing room again and expressed
her interest IN Miss Blythe. Later
that night she came TO the hotel
and asked for another audience.
The actress. fed up on the girls So
ciety. refused to admit her. The
hour being past midnight, Miss
Blythe said 10 her;
"A young girl your age should no
be roaming the streets alone. Dc
your parents know you are out a
this hour?"
The whole incident might hav,
been forgotten with the girls dis
missal II the Police Commissioned
had not appointed Miss Blythe Dep.

stay in Fort Worth. This distinction
having been bestowed upon her a

where she made a speech, the COM
missioner called her up TO tell her
of tho girls arrest. She had passed
forged checks for the amount OF
$50, s25 OF which was used TO paw
the florist for the flowers sent 20 the
motion picture actress.
The Police Commissioner teie-
phoned 10 Miss Blythe for addition
al information. Much upset over the
girls transgression, she set out TO
learn more about her. The youthful
thief. she discovered. had been ar
rested for similar offense several
months previous. Seeking to discover
whether the parents were at fault
the Police Commissioner and Miss
Blythe learned she came from Dal-
las and was the daughter OF the
editor OF the Religious Cause, a re-
tired minister. who had written the
attack on Miss Blythe.
The moral in that story It seem,
TO me- is too great 20 pass by un-
noticed. Here was this self-appoint-
ed reformer seeking to show the
flaws IN the motion picture industry
while his own daughter ran wild
lunrestrained and without proper
guidance. His duty was not in re.

place for his kind OF motion pic
lures; his duty was obviously to tha'
weak child who might have beer

That minister's attitude. like mann
OF our reformers' attitude on cen

dissatisfaction. Fortunately ther'
are some ministers who are broad
