"FATTY'S" FILMS
ON BLACK LIST
National Committee for
Better Pictures Takes
Sweeping Action
UNSAVORY ODOR,
ALLEGED CAUSE

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-All Ar
buckle Aims as yet unreleased or
made in the future were blacklisted
by the executive committee OF the
National Committee for Better
Films, affiliated with the National
Board OF Review, at a meeting yes
terday in the Hotel Astor. This pol
fey was adopted on ground that in
cidents in the actors life had at
tached an "unsavory odor" to his
personality in the public mind which
had become a moral influence that
could not be overlooked.
The National Committee for Bet
ter Films is devoted to boosting high
class motion pictures by publishing
at regular intervals n selected list of
the best films for reference use by
schools. churches and educational
or research societies II has more
than 600 Representatives I'm cities
throughout the country and It's ex-
ecutive committee has headquarters
at 20 Fifth avenue, New York BY its
action no film showing Roscoe
Fatty Arbuckle will ever again be
included on the organizations Sc
lected list.
Clarence A Perry. chairman of
the National Committee for Better
Films and also associate director OF
the department OF recreation OF the |
Russell Sage Foundation. was in |
charge of the meeting. He said the |
statement had been prepared by a |
special committee appointed to de-
fine the position OF the National |
Committee with reference to Ar
buckle films The policy as presented
was Immediately ratified by the ex-
ecutive committee. II read:
The character OF tho private life
OF the motion picture actor is not
usually taken into Consideration by
our reviewing committee. since nat
urally in most cases they can have
little authentic information about It.
When, however, offensive incidents
in the life of a screen star have been
so widely published that an unsavory
odor has been attached IN the public
mind TO the actors very personality
then such incidents become an ele-
ment in the moral influence of a film
and can be no longer overlooked.
THE wave of public sentiment
which has greeted the suggestion
that Roscoe Arbuckle be allowed 10
resume his occupation as a motion
picture actor Is evidence that this Is
a case in point. The National Com
mittee for Better Films therefore
will not recommend or place on its
selected lists issued 10 committees,
exhibitors and others for entertain
ment purposes any films with which
Mr.. Arbuckle is publicly identified.
Although II has in the past listed
many of the actors films as being
amusing and free from Objectionable
features any films which have been
so listed but which have not yet been
publicly exhibited will be removed
from our Lists. The lists containing
the older Arbuckle pictures already
exhibited Of course cannot be re-
called"

and frequently dangerous work of the
postman in serving the public.

BORGLUM A KLUXER
AND YET A CATHOLIC
Kloncilium Member Lined
Klan Up for Memorial.

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 29.-Some of
ficial of the Knights of the Ku Klux
Klan looked in Whose who in Amer
ica' today and discovered that Gut
zon Borplum, the sculptor who cary
ing Confederate memorial on Stone
Mountain, near here, is a member of
the Catholic Church
Inasmuch as Borglum served for
months as member of the imperial
Kloncilium, or governing body of the
khan, the discovery started a real
racket, both within the khan and on
the outside.
Ku Klux officials said they were
surprised and mortified to learn that
a Chatolic had been member of
their inner circles. 1t was officially
announced that Borglum did not
stand for reelection to the kloncilium
at the last election, although he has
continued to take an active part in
Ku klux activities and has succeeded
in lining up the khan almost solidly
behind the memorial project, on
which twos million dollars will be
raised and expended partly at his dis
cretion.
Prominent Atlanta Catholics ex-
pressed the belief that Borglum would
be quickly communicated, unless
ne has already been dropped from the
church or has voluntarily retired
Borglum is in Stamford, Conn, on a
visit and interesting developments
are expected on his return here next
week.
Sponsors of the memorial fear that
klan opposition to the project viii de-
velop as result Of the discovery and
the impression is general that the
Cath olics and the kluxers win make
it not for Borglum when he returns.
The sculptor's last important work
in the khan was during the recent
breach between William Joseph Sim
mons, emperor, and Hiram w. Evans,
imperial wizard. He served on
board of arbiters which sought
compose the differences between the
leaders Of the rival factions.
While Klux officials are scurrying
about trying to see what steps to
take in the situation Atlanta gener-
ally is taking the revelation as good
joke on the khan.

Harris, who had been the nominee
for sheriff by a majority of three
votes, made the first move to carry
out the boxes to the street where
they were broken open and burned,
according to the sheriff who attempt
ed to halt the proceedings in vain.
He was unable to>name others who
participated in the affair, Sheriff
Cartledge stated tonight. The whole

No Arrests Made.
No arrests in the case had been
made tonight and no affidavits had

posing Harris for the office of sheriff

supporter of Harris.
About All In
With only three precincts in Har-
/rison county missing, revised and
complete unofficial returns on Tues
days Democratic run-off primary
as complied last night by the Clarion
Ledger, gave Henry L. Whitfield a
majority over Theodore G. Bilbo
in their race for the nomination for
Governor. The total vote polled
was 249,354, divided as follows:
Whitfield ---------- 1921
Bilbo ----------- 1888
This means that Henry L. Whit
field will be the next Governor of
Mississippi, succeeding Gov. Lee NJ
Russell in January 1924.
Would Not Alter Results
1t is not known whether a ballot
box said to contain $50 absentee
votes mailed in to be counted in the
canvass and stolen at Gulfport, sew
eral days ago, was included among
the three missing boxes from Har-
rison county, but if 1t were, and
thrown out as a consequence, it
would net alter the result. The Har-
rison county vote, exclusive of the
three boxes that are missing" was
4e4S. Of which 1892 were credited
to Whitfield and 1855 to Bilbo.

COMES TO TESTIFY .
TerIiIxis Will Tell Of Assault COm~
 mItted By Albert Walker

Costis Terlikis. former Birmingham resident, now of Chicago, reached Birmingham Thursday to appear be- fore the Jefferson county grand jury to testify in connection with an al- legged assault last fall when Terlikis received painful and serious sclap wounds for which Albert Walker, nego, is being held in the county jail following his arrest by Chief Deputy Sheriff Henry S. Hill and assastants ten days ago In front of the city ad- ministration building.
 According to Terlikis he was ac- costed in his store by Walker, who had made a small purchase and was struck over the head and robbed Of S2O by the negro, who compla ined table. Walker left Terlikis for dead, according to his own testimony. He admits striking the store keeper, but denies he robbed him:
 Walker has been trAiled over sev- eral states and his movements have been closely watched since he is known to have been hanging around Terlil1is' store foT several days prior to the assault Efforts to connect Walker with one or more of Bir- ninghams sensational ax murders have practically been abandoned by the sheriff's department. T am con- vinced the lsot list of ax murders have all been committed by different persons, and do not think officials will ever connect several of the as- saults to one person, apprehension of the guilty is made doubly hard for that reason" Chief Hill stated Thurs day.

READ IS CONTINUING HIS SECRET DRY WORK
Naming Of Permanent Prohibition Director Seems Struck On Rocks

Since June 30 of this year. there has been no permanent director of prohibition for the state. Naming of the next director seems to have struck rocks in Washington, as sew eral recommendations have been made to the secretary of the treas ury and Roy B. Haynes, federal pro- hibition director, and no action has been taken.
 Edgar N. Read. who has been tenn porary director since the shake-up in the prohibition department which re- suited in the dismissal from the serv- ice of the assistant director, several agents, and one office clerk, has kept much of his work undisclosed. There have been only one agent appointed whose name was given out at the time. It Is understood several others have been appointed.
 MT. Read has explained the reason for not diVulging these names was that it would be better for them to work under cover for some time. While no confirmation can be se- cured, it is believed Judge w. A. Har- gett of Russellville stands a strong chance at receiving the appointment as director. Several other appllca- tions for the position have come through the directors office in Bir- mingham and others are said to have been mailed direct to Washington.
 It is admitted that several more ap- pointments to field agents of the prohibition department are impera- tive if the law is to be rigidly en- forced MT. Read stated if these ap- pointments are made while he is in office the names will not be given to the public, as he believes this Is one of the most advantageous ways of combating the law ViolatorS.
