Exchange of motion picture flms

in a case brought by Charles G.
Binderup OF Omaha.
Alleging that he had been driven

been denied the use of their pic

cause the Pathe Exchange, inc, and
eighteen other corporations which
had@refused to permit him to have
their films, had manufactured them
in studios outside of Nebraska and
had shipped them into that state.
A decision of the federal district

that the federal government had no

Commissioners Consider Pro-
posal Affecting Blocks
From 5th to 18th.

Pointing out that r street has be-
come a main artery Of travel between
the heart Of the city and Union sta
ton, merchants along that thorough
fare today presented a petition to the
Commissioners asking that the road
way be widened from 9Th to 18th

At present e street is only forty
feet wide, with twenty-five feet Of
sidewalk on each side. making ninety
feet from building line to building
line.
The proposal of the petitioners Is
that the curbing be moved back four
feet on each side, making the road
way forty-eight feet and the total
sidewalk space forty-two feet.
Fifty-Foot Drive snxx xestet.
Officials of the engineer depart

M. Buck, manager Of the Merchants
Transfer and Storage Company, and
bore the signatures of more than
fifty owners and occupants of other
business establishments along E

STAY OF EXECUTION
Young Chinese Students Hanging
Postponed From Friday Until
March %, 1924.

Justice Bailey Of the District Su-
preme Court today postponed the exc
cution of Ziang Sung Wan, the young
Chinese student who was convicted
in 1920 of killing Ben Sen WI, an
undersecretary Of the Chinese edu-
cational mission.
The Chinaman was to have been
executed next Friday, but a post
ponement was made necessary to
await the action of the United States
Supreme Court which has granted
his counsel, James A. O'Shea, a. re-
view of the action of the District
Court of Appeals which had con-
firmed the conviction and sentence.
The new date for the hanging is
March rs, 1924.
The Supreme Court today set jan
Iary for hearing in the case. The
question involved is whether reyers-
tble error was committed by the trial
court in admitting to evidence GER
tain confessions by the petitioner
over the petitioners objection, and
that under the doctrine laid down by
the Supreme Court such confessions
were involuntary under the circum-
stances appearing in the case.
The same question now is before

of Columbia in the case of Edgar
Perrygo, also sentenced to be hanged
for murder in the first degree. the

CRAIG HELD GUILTY
BY SUPREME COURT
Sixty.Day Sentence for Contempt
Against Gotham Official
Upheld Today.

Charles L. Craig was held by the

wrote Public Service Commissioner
Lewis Nixon on October 6. 1919. dis

Judge Mayer held Craig In contempt

Judge Manton ordered his release on
habeas corpus proceedings, the cir
cult court of appeals affirmed the de-
cision of Judge Mayer.

other members of the board of es-
Inmates had been denied access to
original sources Of information con-
cerning the property of the Public
Utility Corporation. and declared,
policy for which Judge Mayer is re-
sponsible." Execution of the sentence
was stayed pending a final decision
by the Supreme Court.
Craig contended that Judge Mayer
was without jurisdiction.
The decision today held that Judge
Manton, although sitting in a district
court, had no authority to grant 4
writ of habeas corpus. The action
taken bX the circuit court of appeals
was held to be correct.
Justice Holmes, in dissension
opinion. took the position that Craig
had taken proper action in applying
for a writ of habeas corpus instead Of
appealing to the Circuit Court of APP
peals. He took the view that Craig's
letter did not sufficiently obstruet
justice to give Judge Mayer author
ity to hold Craig in contempt. JUS
tice Brandeis also dissented.
