 ors at Bradford, Pa. and whose

 She appeared before Collector FL ting with her brother and her coun- sel, George F. Lamb, Of 120 Broad
 way. They were closeted with the collector for an hour, Lewis Emery l then made out the check for sl9,000

CLEANER MOVIES
 IS AIM OF WOMEN
Federation Continues Fight on
 Objectionable Pictures

Atlantic City. N. J.. June GP,- The fight for clean moving pictures is to be prosecuted with new force by the general federation Of Wo- mems clubs. who will not be content with endorsing of good pictures, but will continue their efforts of the re- moyal of objectionable ones.
 q am anxious that this program shall be pushed much harder in the future than it has been in the past" said Mrs. John D. sherman, presi- dent. Definite plans are now ma turing. The program includes in- tensive work through local commit tees in all parts Of the country.
 Two things I feel strongly about in connection with the women's work for clean shows; first, they must not themselves patronize the pictures they are trying to keep their children away from. Second. they must not accept free passes to pictures and to studios, thereby giv- ing producers and managers the idea that our friendship is to be easily won By these glamorous hand outs.
 Let women pay their way into the good pictures they support and work for, and stay away from the others"
 Election of officers was in progress today and while the results will not be announced until tomorrow, there were no candidates nominated from the floor or by the committee to op- pose Mrs. John D. Sherman, of Es- tes Park, Colorado for Reelection as president and Mrs, Edward Franklin White. of Indianapolis and Miss Florence Dibert, of Johnstown, Pa. for another term as first and second yice-DresidentS respectively.

 A previous open letter from Arch bishop Rio addressed to President Gales. protested against the Mexi- can governments order for the#de- portation Of Monsignor Caruana, the papal envoy.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2t.--American
League pitchers win be warned
from headquarters before the new
season starts to stay away from
resin bags and not to make test Of
tic new RUE, it was learned today.
The amendment TO the freak
pitching rule, permitting pitchers
to rub resin on their hands under
the supervision of the umpire, was
passnd by the vote Of Commissioners
Landis at the joint meeting OF the
rules committee. but the American
League refused to accept it.
As n result the rule book says It
is legal for pitcher to use resin
and the American League says it
cant bc done.
II was pointed out that when the
American League magnatcs voted
that pitcher could force test
ease that would have to be passed
upon by tho commissioner.
Any American League pitcher
could rub his hand with resin and
if the umpire pcnaliZed him by put
ting him out of the game he conld
ask for rule book, show the umpiT"
where it WAS no offonsc and appeal
t. the commissioners.
In the circumstances the commits
sioner could do nothing but sup
rort the pitcher and rule against
the umpire. This would result III
q serious controversy.
when the JOINT ru'os eommi;}''
was considering the change IN Tn"
rule, the National League Iepreseh
,ativcs voted for il aud the Amci-
lean representatives opposed It.
