SENATE SCHOLAR FLAYS SMOOT
EFFORTS To EXCLUDE CLASSICS

and. for the first time, those in
which opposition to any govern
ment or violence to any United
States Government official is ad-
vocated, the speaker explained.
I'm the past, when any of the
clerks in charge of censorship
wished to exclude a book which
they did not like for one reason
or another, they called it obscene
and that settled it," Cutting
asserted. Books that can be
bought here in English are ex-
cluded when they arrive in
French and Spanish"
Classics Are Barred
Until 1842 there was no censor
ship of any kind in this country
and it was opposed by the found
ing fathers. the speaker said.
After tracing the development OF
censorship, he said:
"Only recently have customs
officials ruled out classics, not be-
cause they did damage to anyone.
but because they had a tendency
to injure morals, not Of the
public, but of the most SuScep-
tible, sensitive, youthful and de-
graded members of the public.

If the moral fibre of the Amer
lean people is so weak it will be
injured by the classics which
have been read for 1000 years it
doesn't matter much what they
read.
After adjournment of the forum
was announced, a meeting was
called to consider a resolution,
which was adopted It read in
part:

Of the form Of mental slavery
embodied in the section of the

thority Of censorship beyond the
drastic postal laws and State
statutes now in force.
In the audience al the forum
was Mrs. Olivia Murray Cutting,
mother of the speaker. It was the
first time that she had heard her
son speak in public outside the
Senate chamber.

The fight il the result of a bat

Cutting of New Mexico was able
to place an amendment into the
tariff act killing the custom clerk

ator Cutting who yesterday, before
an open forum in Baltimore, held
that certain, speeches and writings
of President Abraham Lincoln
were "the most extreme principles

Senator Gmoot has been reading
certain "SalaciouS, obscene and in
decent" extracts from books which
were selected for him by a Gus

Smoot, it was declared, intends to
read the extracts in secret session
before the Senate.
Speaking in Baltimore yesterday
Senator Cutting said:
what I stand for is the right
Of every American to hold any
opinion as against any possible
interference, internal or external
This right I consider vital to a
continuance of democratic govern

Senator Smoot has announced
that he will seek a secret session

only temporary relief. Intestinal
stasis and the diseases Of which it
is the real cause, can be helped
best by continued REAL intestinal
cleansing, and by increasing the
natural activity of the bowel tract
DR.. Carl Weschcke, in his private
practice, first perfected the intes-
tinal cleanser and prophylactic now
known as Adlerika. 1t is a COM

EEAR Of distressing stomach gas
Il makes many people afraid to
eat the foods they like best.
Yet recent discoveries by famous
London specialists point the way to
quick relief from gas and many
other forms of stomach and bowel
trouble. 1t is now known, these
specialists assert. that most stomach
and bowel disorders are due to just
one cause-InteStim1l Stasis.
What Is Intestinal Stasis?
Intestinal stasis means the too
slow movement of waste food mat
ter. This matter, from which the
body has taken all nourishment, is
not promptly passed out of the,
bowels, but, due to intestinal weak
ness, it remains many hours or even
days longer than it should. This
waste matter then ferments, forms
gas and poisons, and is the real
cause of sour stomach, indigestion
and gas bloating.
A person may have intestinal
stasis and yet the bowels may move
regular, but the movements are only
partial, much old matter being LETT
to form gas, hinder digestion and
poison the system.

n { v THEORY
DEVELOPED
IN PROBE
Investigators Now Believe
Girl Was slain by Moron
Surprised While Looting Car

Out of the maze Of clues which
have led police on one blind
chase after another, an entirely
different theory has developed
which points to the murderer Of
Mary Baker as q total stranger
to the pretty Navy Department
worker, a desperate criminal, and
a menace to all women so long as
he remains at large.
While police are continuing
their search for a suspect who
knew Miss Baker, this new
theory is fast gaining strength
among investigators.
Several circumstances revealed
by the work of detectives in the
last three weeks go to support
this change of opinion. All men
known to have been friendly with
Miss Baker-and police insist
there were not many. probably
only four who ever really meant
anything to her-all of them have
ironclad alibiS.
This is one reason why mem
bers of the homicide squad are
being forced to adopt the idea
that the murderer was unknown
to Miss Baker.
Necklace is Puzzle
The mysterious appearance of
the necklace and other articles
known to have been stolen from
automobiles parked near the
Elipse has lent support to the
theory that the slayer may have
been a petty thief.
The finding of the stolen
articles in the trap-sewer with
the dead girls coat has been the
most puzzling phase of the entire
investigation. If it could be solved
it might prove to be the key to
the crime, police feel.
George Kelly has not yet been
questioned by police but he will
be shortly to see If he can shed
any light on their presence with
