NEW SCHEME IS DEVISED FOR :
 CENS0RnyC

NEW YORK, Feb. 22. -- Because they believe State censorship or plays would be fatal to dramatic art, members of the New York Drama League have launched campaign for a voluntary censorship of plays by the theatregoing public.
 A plan evolved by Charles Cobourn, of the Producing Managers Associa- tion, has been approved by play writs, managers and actors. It would provide for an agreement be- tween theatre owners, producers Of plays and actors to the effct that any play deemed by competent jury of laymen to be unworthy or unfit for production would be withdrawn without further notice and without legal action.
 Upon receipt of sufficient con- plaints about any play the Commits sioner of Licenses would select from a panel of 500 specially chosen pur- ors five persons to witness and pass on the play. Their decision would be final. The jurors would be chos- en by the various theatrical organi- cations.
 A committee from the Drama League is preparing an answer to be sent to Albany to reply to the proposed State censorship packers.
 The new plan would do away with the publicity given such play as "The Demi-Virgin," once suspended by court action, but later reinstated. It is now playing on Broadway.

EVERY LIQUOR RUN IS FELONY, COURT
 OF APPEALS HOLDS
Grand Jury May Indict Owner of Still as Many Times as Separate Runs Are
 Made
By FRED N. 0ORMLEY Nontwonnerv Bureau The Age-Hefald, q2i-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery, February 7.--(spe- ciaD--Every run of liquor from a moonshtne still makes the owner guilty of a felony under the bone dry law of Alabama and the grand jury may indict him every day or as many times each day as runs are made, under A decision of the court of ap- peals Tuesday afternoon in the case of Richard Childers of De Kalb county, who had been convicted of violating the bone dry law and sen fenced to from one and one half years to two and one half years in the penitentiary.
 Childers was given | new trial ps- cause the trial court permitted the state to submit testimony that Child CTS at various times had been guilty of manufacturing liquor. The court held that each run constituted . sep should be held to that particular vio- lation. However, the opinion ex- pressly said that in some instances cumulative evidence would be proper where 1t referred to thc continuance of an operation or to the manufacture of liquor on days which were closely associated. However, it held that it was not proper. in trying . man for a particular violation, to submit evil UouCo Lu6t dL WlucAy ocPAH%tSu elhioS he had manufactured liquor In vio- lation of the bone dry lAw.
 Referring to the bringing of sep arate case against . defendant for each run of liquor, the Court of Ap- peals in an opinion written by Judge Merritt said: Each act of distilla- tion is a distinct offenee and toe sub ssect of a separate indictment and under the principle governing in this Jurisdiction the state could only give evidence of one distinct act of dis tillation."
 The Court of Appeals affirmed the case of William Williams from Cher okee county. in which Williams was given a sentence of twelve years In prison for second degree murder. Williams chief contention in support of & new trial was that the trial court repriInsnded jury for failing to convict a violator of the prohibit tion law the day before his case was tried and that this reprimand had a. preJudicial effect on his case because the jury which tried him was a part of the panel reprimanded by the court. The Court of Appeals held that Williams should have made a motion for a continuance after the other jury had been reprimanded.

BOY SCOUTS ARE I
HOME AFTERdCA

After what they said was a most
glorious camping trip, members OF
Alexandria Troop, No. 2, Boy Scouts
of America, returned to their homes
in the city yesterday, weary and sun
Drowned bunch. They were not weary
because the camp had not been an en-
,ioyable one, but because it had been
one of the best in the life of any OF
the thirty boys who took part IN It,
Snowden-o -the-PotOmac was the
camp site. The swimming was good
and surrounding woods, hills and wa,
ters made possible the learning of real
wood-craft. In charge OF the en-
campment were Messrs. Brenner. HUH
Groe and Strauss. "Feed right was
one of the things the boys say they
did. and that if\eating had been one
of the requirements to pass them on
higher in the Scout fraternity they
would have been "first raters' or top
notchers" when the camp broke.
In all, the boys had an instructive
as well as an enjoyable trip. and are
all looking forward to the time when
they shall be able to go again.

There appeared also to be much
concern among board members as to
the view army officers might take of
the boards action in recommending
any officer for honorable discharge.
Preliminary investigation indicates
that probably more than LOO Off

rated" from the active service in his
way.
The board. it is understood, will
seek by every means to impress upon
the army and upon the general public
the view that discharge under these
conditions in no way reflects upon
the character of the service a dis
charged officer has rendered and that
in a majority of cases at least the
army would much prefer to retain
these officers services.
Board members are understood to
feel that there is little prospect of
