New Supplies Replace Dictionaries Taken

Preparations had been made for great demand, but the tremendous rush beginning early and lasting far into the night exceeded all expectations.
 A surprising number of people pre- sented coupons for The New Univer- sities Dictionaries, saying as they did so that the twenty-two supplementary dictionaries of special activities ap- pealed to them with greatest force. In one book, besides all the other aids to studying modern English, are spe- cial dictionaries of words used partic- ularly as Americanisms and in auto- mobiling, aviation, golf, baseball, com merce and law, football, lacrosse, lawn tennis, war, music, photography, polo, wireless telegraphy and yachting. Be- sides these are dictionaries of atomic weights, classical abbreviations, for eign words and phrases, forms of ad- dress, most common abbreviations, state names and meanings and words of opposite and like meanings.

about the value of human life, and the sorrow which follows death. The lion wants, meat. I'd just as soon argue to the hungry lion as man drunk with money for he is blind, deaf and con scienceless.
 Remedies Stressed
 "In my judgment" Dr. Stuart con- tinued, pointing out a remedy for present condition. There are only two ways to do anything with the motion picture. The first is to require every moving picture put on the screen in America to go through the censorship of a moral, intelligent, child-loving, home-loving and character-loving, God fearing committee, with an open fur mace close at hand and with invested authority to burn every film that makes an appeal to the low and vicious things in humaity. ;
 'The other Is to encourage intel ligent, high-class, moral persons in the production of such films as will have from start to finish nothing but the highest. and noblest. appeal.
 Every community" he said in con clusion, Should hail with delight, re- ceive with honor, and. respect man like Colonel Joy, who comes in the interest of humanity and society at large. Those who love the higher things of life; those who desire to see so- ciety saved from collapse, should not only hear him but should hear and elp him." <. ra

;duced to pull the largest number or folks through the door.
 'HThe film must be offered to the promiscuous public. The appeal must be sensational and must strike at the most powerful motive in human nat ure." +s
 In discussing his contention and chal- lenge that it is impossible to find any motion picture house in America, where at least one of three pictures, shown in succession is not vicious and char acter-destroying, Dr. Stuart divided the evils into four classifications. T,
 First" he declared, there will be some female in suggestive or insinuat- ing attire.
 Second: Some association of the sexes, suggesting, presuming or, actually presenting immoral relations.
 'sThird Cheating, stealing, robbing fraudulent financial schemes or some thing of that character suggesting and feeding the robbery craze.
 tAnd, fourth, poisoning, stabbing, shooting or some performance feeding the. passion for murder and stirring up immoral destructiveness in character.
 "These four features of the modern moving picture are most appealing to the weak, vicious and dangerous ele- ment of our population. Especially so, since all the actors and actresses in these vicious plays, appear so witty, smart, popular and successful.
 "Fifms producers know what they are doing. The character and purity of our American youth makes no ap- peal. It is useless to argue with lion emerging from am African jungle

DOCKSTADTER,
 MINSTREL KING,
 DIES OF TUMOR
Comedian Had Been On American Stage For
 Generation

NEW YORK, Oct. 26-Lew Dock stader, fam6as minstrel and blackface comedian, died today at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Warren Palmer. Death resulted from bone tumor in the left leg, suffered in fall two years ago. He was 6S years old.
 A generation or more ago, when many of the sure-fire jokes that are bringing laughs today were young and beardless, the dressing room of Lew Dockstader, werld-famous minstrel, was one of the main founts from which the choicest humor flowed, and the big, jovial, rol- licking comedian himself--laugh pur- yeyor to the millions-was author as well as distributor of "a goodly part.
 Dockstaders success was attributed chiefly to his knowledge of what the public wanted in the way of amuse- ment, and his ability to meet the de- mand. In early life he became stu det of the lighter side of human anture, and fer years kept a mental ledger in which his most successful quips were catalogued. When he needed new mate rial he simply took an old wheeze and told it with a different twist.
 Liked Old Ones Best ~sf
 Jokes about the Ark, Jonah, Con- gress and Hoboken were always sure of a laugh, he once said, because the public liked a new joke on an old sub ject better than an old joke on new subject. An old joke was easier to "get over," he maintained, because the audience knew just when to laugh"
 Lew Dockstader, whose real name was George Alfred Clapp, was born in Hartford, Conn, August z, 1856. He learned to play several musical in sturuments in his boyhood, and for IT years was a member of an amateur minstrel band before making his pro- fessional debut. In 1873 he signed with the Earl, Emmett and Wild troupe for tour of the eastern states, and later transferred to the Bloodgood Comic Alliance of Springfield, Mass.
 Formed Own Company
 He shifted from one company to another and in 1886 the Dockstader minstrels were established in New York for a long run, and for more than three years were as much of a fixture as city hall itself. In 1890, how ever, financial difficulties arose and the comedian was forced to strike out for himself, and for several years he was alone in niyaudeville on all the "big time" circuits touring the country.
 In 1898 Dockstader ormed a part nership with the owner of the Prim- rose minstrels, which continued until 1903, when Dockstader again became sole proprietor of the aggregation. Since that time he has been continuously upon the stage, either as owner of minstrel troupe or as a single attraction.

EDWARDS HEIRS
 CLAIM HERITAGE
First Legal Papers Are Filed In New York
 Courts

The first move to secure control of the richest tract of land in New York City for tl1ei heirs Of Thomas Edwards, an Englishman, who died about 17S0, has been made by the Edwards Estate corporation, Birmingham organiza- tion, which represents over 1000 heirs.
 Following the incorporation of the heirs several weeks ago, the corporarIon secured the services of several of the best attorneys in New York City. And they have filed documents in the New York courts claiming that the property never was deeded away by the heirs ot the Englishman.. is21'
 The tract, which the corporation is seeking to secure as their rightful herit- age, embraces Wall street, Trinity church, the Woolworth building and over 35 other skyscrapers.
 The next step in the fight, according to Joel Webb, 627 First National bank building, Birmingham, legal advisor Of the corporation, and one of the heirs, will be to institute suit in the New York courts. This move is expected in the near future, he said.
 The history of the estate far sur passes any imaginings of fiction wit CT. The land, originally given to Thomas Edwards. prior to- the 'ReyOlu- tfonary war, was leased for 99 years by his sons, shortly after the war. The ileirs scattered at the time. of the War Between the States and when the lease expired the property. was not returned, the heirs claim. Meanwhile, the land became the most valuable in the Unitea States. For more sthan 40 years the heirs have been organizing in attempts to secure their heritage, but the docu- 1nents just filed mark the first step toward ia legal suitS which promises to be one of the most s&ARa tional ever heard in New York, involving us it will, billions of dollars. e-
