he continued. And the success or
failure of the church does not de-
pend upon developing supermen for

sectarianism a "perversion Of the

From the number and to1e of
messages sent to the mayor by lead
ing citizens and offers of assistance
brought to the Theater Guild by or
ganizations and individuals, it was
apparent that the apathy heretofore
displayed was being dlssipated by
the latest action of the city censors.
Protests Are General
= Clergymen, bankers, tradesmen,
literary societies, WON
ems clubs, librarians, editors and
scores of other men and women
aroused to a fighting mood, sent
kilograms or other messages to the
offices, demanding aban-
Comment of what they regard as
silly censorship.
The Theater Guild representatives,
by the mayors remarks,
'that the play presented
spectacle of immortality.
of atheism. of domestic in4
fidelity and. destruction Of unborn
life, and has no place on a Boston
stage" came back with a reply in
qualification to pass on the merits
VI Va LhO pay
The mayors opinion was given
the guild representatives at con.
ference this afternoon.
Alternatives Found
Their vain effort to prevail on
Nichols to change his edict left
them with several alternatives
which, they said, may be tried.
They can give a special perform
ance of the play before the statu-
tory board, consisting of the mayor.
the police commissioner and the
chief justice Of the municipal court,
in the hope that the board will re.
verse the mayors edict; they can
present the play in a suburb, pro-
vided it meets with official approval
in the town selected, or they can
sue for an injunction to prevent the
mayor from stopping the play. An
other conference with the mayor is
scheduled today.

CUT IN TRAFFIC
TOLL SOUGHT

Declaring an appalling number Of
hiIdren were killed in traffic acct.
ents in Washington during the
iscal year just closed, Ernest N.
NTH, executive vice president of
he American Automobile Associa-
ion today urged motorists and
parents to cooperate to improve
conditions.
Smith cited figures contained in
he annual report of William Fl.
Earland, Director of Traffic. which
eVealed % children under IA years
o. age were fatally injured in traf.
fc accidents during the last 12
n onths as compared with seven the
ear before.
AT the same time" Smith as
erted, I'VE were lettering the 1928
ccidents figures so far as adults
which demonstrates that 1t is
ossibie to improve things when
are is taken"
The A. A. A. official said an.
other proof of the value of care
resulted from an investigation
which revealed that not one of
LnCSo 80 CLhuTen kllleO IN the past
IL months met death in the vicinity
OF a school where there was a
school boy pStrol in operation"
The solution of the problem as
seen by Smith is for parents 10
instruct their children not to play
in the streets under any circum-
stances and to cross a street only
at cross walk.
"Of course" Smith added, "all
of these deaths which did occur
were not caused by the children
themselves. The t. bulatior of
causes of traffic accidents where
Motorists were at fault Is headed
by the term reckless driving" and
that Is contributing factor which
can be reduced II all the motorists
of the city will do their part during
the next 12 months

While waiting for the Treas.
ury to report the profits OF

corporations for the years
1922 to 1928 under the tariff,
the Senate today turned aside
from the new bill to ratify a
Geneva treaty outlawing com.
smercial embargoes.
The treaty. resulting from an e.
fort to eliminate all wartime trade
restrictions, would have little eff
feet in America except to open a
Few more markets abroad for
American products. 1t would not
interfere with the tariff from its
application.
The American prohibition law
also was exempted.
The treaty already has been rati.
01ied by Germany, France, Italy,
Belgium and Austria, among other
nations.
Seeks Tariff Secrets
The pending question in the
eariff war was a proposal by Sena.
tor McMaster (R.) of South Da.
kota to provide the Senate with
all tariff information now held by
the United States Tariff Commas
sion. McMaster agreed to accept
an amendment allowing the com
mission to withhold any informa-
ton received in confidence.
- The McMaster resolution was
drafted to give the Senate more
facts on the costs of production in
American industries. This infor.
nation would be useful to foes, Of
the bill along with the report from
the Treasury Department on the
profits and losses" of corporations
benefittfng under the tariff. ,,.,
The Treasury also was asked to
furnish statements on the amounts
spent by the corporations for raw
materials, wages to labor and sala-
ton would be taken from the in
come tax reports of the corpora
Ntions named on long. list sent
the Treasury Monday.
There were hints the Treasury
would ask for a legal opinion from
the Attorney General on it's right
to reveal this information from in.
come tax statements, before reply
ing to the Senate.
Watson Calls Caucus
"The business secrets of a great
Nlmber of corporations will be
made public" observed Senator
Watson (Rl Of Indiana. Senate
majority leader. when the Treas
pry reports to the Finance Com.
mittee, 1t will turn the information
over to the Senate and thence to
the world. I merely want the tax
payers to know who was re-
= ponsib1e for giving this informa-
ion from their tax returns to the
country"
The Senate Republicans will
caucus tomorrow morning to dis
cuss the tariff situation. 1t was
runored the loyal Republicans
would adopt some program of
action designed to hasten enact
ment of the bill. It was said the
question Of holding night sessions
would be submitted. This may be
necessary If the bill is to be enacted
INTO law before the end Of the
special session.
a Blaine Adds to List
To the list requested by the Demo
Gratis yesterday, Senator Blaine R)
Of Wisconsin this afternoon added
requests for about 100 additional

sponsored the amendment to the
simmons resolution requiring sub
mission of the income tax informa-
ton which in addition required de-
tailed data on the. salaries paid by
the big corporations. Blaine con-
tended that many large firms were
paying their executives enormous
salaries and so swallowing up the
