MERCURY BANNED FROM U. s. MALLS
Postal Dept. "Thumbs Down"
 on Publication

Washington, April 1e.--Henry l., Mencken Of Baltimore came here yesterday to make Il protest against tho ruling barring from them ails the April issue of the American Mercury, but he vas told by Horace J, DonnellN solicitor of the post office department, that the opinion of the postal authorities remained unchanged,
 Solicitor Donnclly also refused 10 give a ruling at this time on May issue of the magazine when Mir, Menckon alleged that his enemies were trying to knock off that is- sue by complaints to the post office department. Mir, Donnelly said he was not censor and suggested that the May issue be deposited with the postmaster of Camden, N. J., to be sent to Washington, 90 that If complaint were filed a ruling would bc made.
 Nr Mencken was accompanied by his counsel Arthur Garfield Hays, and Alfred A. Knopf, publisher of Tho magazine, The government was represented by Solicitor Donnelly, Walter l.. Kelly, assistant solicitor, and W, C, Rrion. There was much excited argument. which centered around ihc publication in the April issue Of the article "Hatrack."
 ''ounsel for Mir. Mcnckcn con. tended there was nothing 10 excite the emotions in tho article, but the postal authorities stuck 10 their con- tention that it violated the federal s'atute prohibiting the mailing Of obscene matter, Attempts 10 com pare 1t with passages from the Bible and the classics did not change that attitude.
 Says Mercury Is Not "Smutty."
 Mir. Mencken Contended that he has been injured financially and that his reputation had been assailed by the ruling of the department. He said advertising contracts had been canceled.
 I'm damned" he said al one point, "if I want 10 be plastered in the newspapers of the country as the publisher of smutty magazine"
 His troubles were traced by MT. Mencken 10 the activities of the Watch and Ward society of Boston. He said also that his magazine had attacked institutions and the admin istration, and although the Boston courts held in his favor. the post of- fee department barred 1t from the mails.
 Mir. Donpelly said the Watch and Ward society had no connection with inc departments ruling.
 Might Reprint Rhinelander Case
 Mir. Mencken mentioned the Rhinelander case. asking why the department had not barred from the mails the newspapers carrying full accounts ot that trial. Mir. Donnelly did not reply.
 "Suppose reprint a page from the newspaper accounts of the Rhinolandcr trial in my magazine, what then" Mir. Mencken queried.
 We only cross. bridges when we com" to them" Mir. Donnelly re- piled 'v
 That's just the answer l expect ed" Mir. Mencken retorted.
 Legal precedents were cited by Mir Hays who asserted that a great principle was at stake, name ly, whether officials Of the post of flee department had the arbitrary power 10 determine what opinions might he printed and distributed through the mails. ITc emphasized
