MENCKEN IS FREED;
SEEKS INJUNCTION
Acquitted of Selling Obscene
Literature, Editor Would
Stop Interference.

ROSTON. April III. L. Mencken.
editor of the American Mercury, was
sco,,itted in Municipal Court today on
a charge of possessing and seliing op'
scene literature. He was arrested
Monday when he sold copy oil the
April issue of his magazine on Bos-
ton Common.
The arrest was made at the instance
of Rev. J. Frank Chase, secretary OF
the New England Watch and Ward
Society. which had caused suppress
sion Of the April issue OF the magazine
because of an article entitled Hat
rack" dealing with conditions In
small Western town.
The case was heard yesterday and
decision was reserved to give the court
an opportunity to read the article.
In announcing his decision Judge
Parmenter said the story was mot
salacious and did not tend TO corrupt
the morals of youth. as charged.
The Judge sustained the argument OF
counsel for Mencken that the maga-
zine was distributed primarily for an
intellectual group and that the article
II self .would not tend to bring las
civious thoughts to any person of that
type.
Mr.. Chase was not in court. Attor-
news for Mencken said they had come
nrepared to serve papers on the COM
plaint IN connection with the Federal
Court proceedings, seeking an injunc-
ton to restrain the Watch and Ward
Society from further interference with
distribution of the magazine.

Visiting Delegates Welcomed
in Speeches by Members
of Both Houses.

The future peace and prosperity
of the Western Hemisphere lies to
a large extent in the hands of it's
newspapers. which have become "the
immediate channel for the express
sion of good will and fellowship
among all nations" the delegates to
the first Pan-American Journalistic
Congress were told in the House of
Representatives. and again in the
Senate this morning.
The occasion for these expressions
was the formal reception in the halls
of Congress of the men who have
come to Washington from all of the
republics of the Americas to discuss
their common interests in perpetual

Pan American Union, 1t Is believed
most of the delegates will be present.
The visit to the Capitol this morn
ing was the first official step in the
program that has been arranged for
the entertainment and enlightenment
of the visitors. They assembled at
the Pan-American Union at II o'clock
and were whisked through the Mall to
the House side OF the big white build
ing on the HILL Inside they were
greeted by Speaker Longworth in his
private rooms.
Special arrangements had been
made at the Capitol for .expediting
the delegates passage through the big
building. but despite all precautlon
there was some confusion. owing to the
fact that the Capitol was already well
crowded with Easter week sfghtseers.
When the Latin American newspaper
men arrived the corridors were so
crowded at times that guards had to
constitute themselves traffic officers to
prevent sundry parties from clashing.
1t was nearly noon when the dele
gates reached the office OF Speaker
Longworth.
There each delegate was introduced
personally to the Speaker Of the
House by DR.. h. s. Rowe. director
general of the Pan.American Union,

ELDR|DGE IS DENIED
RIGHT TO CUT SPEED
Mcmahon Holds Director
Cannot Reduce 22-MiIe
Mark in, Bridge Case.

Judge John r. Mcmahon threw
another monkey wrench into the
machinery of traffic control in Wash
>ington in Police Court today when he
handed down a 10.paSe opinion dis
missing A charge preferred by the po'
lice against the driver OF heavy
Chevy Chase bus for crossing the
kingle Ford Bridge, on Connecticut
avenue, at a speed greater than ID
miles an hour.
The sense of his decision was that
the traffic director has no power TO
limit the speed Of vehicles below -
miles an hour, but only to increase the
speed above that rate. His decision
today was in line with his ruling In
the recent case of a man arrested for
proceeding over the legal limit of Is
miles an hour on a section of Bladens-
burg road.
Judge Mcmahon also dismissed a
charge against the bus driver for al.
legged failure to give the right Of
way 10 police car that was at
tempting to pass the bus. The driver
argued that he feared to swing his
heavy vehicle nearer the cars parked
on Connecticut avenue. The question
in this case, the tudge ruled, is for
the Commissioners to decide whether
such a large bus should be operated
on the public streets. where it is liable
to block traffic at any time.
Immediately upon being informed
Of Judge McMahons decision Mr..
E.ldridge said he would ask Corpora
ton Counsel Stephens to appeal the
ruling The traffic director said, how
ever. that trouble from this source
would be cleared up by the traffic bill
pending in Congress, which gives him
the right to lower the speed limit
where deemed necessary.
