TEXAS JUDGE
 WINS THANKS
(Continued From First Fage)

two liquor cases arc tho same"
 Judge Atwell believes that 1t Is harder to reach" a man over forty years Of age and he has more diffi- culty dealing with women than with men, "I believe I know the reason for this" he said. Women are raised upon male adoration. and all their lives they are showered by compliments from men. This passes for chivalry
 When a woman comes before me and l try to convince her that 1 am personally interested in her case, she often mistakes my motives and believes my actions are prompted by chivalry. Thus she fails 10 under stand that l am sincere in the ques- tons l ask and does not give me sincere answers"
 Judge Atwell believes In the in- herent goodness of man believes that no criminal ever commits a crime without being heartily sorry for hay Ing done so, and that. as a judge ms duty is to make the offender sec just why he should not have acted as he did
 The judge is not sentimental in his work. Ho does not believe that a. fine takes the place of a jail sep- tence, and he hands out both fines and jail sentences freely when con- Flnced that one or the other is proper in a case. He has been sit ting in New York for three weeks.
 Sitting on the bench at the front of the crowded court room, his black gown covering all but the merest suggestion of his white suit, Judge AtWell makes unique figure Tn court. For the most part he half recllnes in his chair and often closes his eyes for several minutes at e 'lme. Frequently too. he will swing his chair around to face the ac- cused and counsel, and on these oc- casions he never fails to hold piece or broken green eyeshade between his eyes and the light.
 lie IS most particular in instruct ing jury, taking sometimes 10 or 10 minutes for this function, and frequently adopts an almost plead ing low tone in impressing upon them the absolute necessity of their careful consideration of the evidence and perfect fairness of decision. By his own admission Judge Atwell is inclined 10 give the prisoner "a shade the better of 1t" for he con slders that there is always some shadow of doubt"
 His Interruptions during case are infrequent, and his rulings as 10 the admission of testimony come quickly and are definite. On occa- sion however he sits for 20 and even 80 minutes after a verdict has been returned, pondering the proper sentence.
 The judge Is grand exalted ruler of the Elis.

SOUTH CHURCH MAY
 NOT PAY FILM TAX.
Request to Splain Necessary
 Rep. RackliHe Says

There was no intention of the state movie tax affecting either the theater owners or religious organi- zstions showing movies, according to a statement made this afternoon by Representative Fred o. Rackliffe, secretary of the finance committee ot the general assembly. which com mrree reported the bill favorably at the last session.
 The bill was simply to force the producers to pay for the privilege of exhibiting In the state and the tax can be applied only once in the state. according to Mir. Rackliffe.
 Mir. Racklifte was in communica- ton with John J. Splain of New Haven, who has charge of the ex- emption features of the law, and was advised by the latter that the South Congregational church of this city need only file request for ex- emption. explaining that the pie lures are used for religious and edu. cational purposes.
 It was the intention of the com mittee when the bill was reported favorably to have the tax apply to out of the state producers who were not contributing anything toward a share of the states financial burden, but in the opinion of the commit tee, were making a good profit in the state.
 The theaters were already paying q business tax, but nothing was be- Ing paid by the producing interests, according to Mir. Rackliffe. It waf felt by the committee that this tax would be paid on the film before they reached New Haven and from that office they would be released to 'heaters in the state. The elimina- ton of the New Haven office, ac- cording to Representative Rackliffe, has complicated matters and the church angle Is an unfortunate re- action.
 Just whether the usual run of pro- gram pictures when used in a church where no admission charge is made could be construed as edu- catiopal or religious pictures, would be matter for the courts to decide, Mir. Rackliffe thinks, but he states there was no intent on the part of the committee to add any taxes on the showing of pictures for religious or educational purposes.
