Unifcation.
Rv the Associated Press.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, April 5.-Acting on
the suggestions of the Minnesota dele
cation in congress, Gov. Theodore
Christianson oday set the States legal
machinery in motion in an attempt to
block the proposed merger of the Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific
Railways.
Requesting Attorney General Henry
N. Benson to study possible grounds for
an injunction against the proposed
merger, Gov. Christianson also invited
States which already have gone on rec
ord as opposed to the consolidation to
join in the movement to prevent its
consummation.
Gov Christianson conferred with the
attorney general and the railroad and
warehouse commission. He announced
that three representatives of the State
would leave April IL for Washington to
consult with other representatives OF
interested States to decide on what
action should be taken.
It was suggested at the governors
conference that a temporary restraining
order might be sought in Federal Court
on the ground that the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission, in approving the
proposed combination, misinterpreteo
the intention of the railway act.

PRESS CENSORSHIP
LIFTED IN SPAIN

doned Except in Barcelona.
ny Radio to The star.

ny Radio to The Star.
SAN SEBASTIAN, Spain, September
lit is officially announced that at
7 o'clock tonight, after seven years and
four days, censorship of the press will
be suppressed in all Spain, with the ex-
ception of Barcelona, where a strike of
the building trades is threatening to
paralyze the services of that big city by
turning into a general strike. Approx
nnately 1000 workers already are out.
Press Only Partially Freed.
Once censorship is suppressed the
press falls under the current constitu-
tional law, which is still more strict
that that of other countries. News
papers can print anything whatever
without submitting proofs to the CEN
sor, but here enters the ''ley de juri-
diciones," passed in 1906 by the Moret
cabinet. This law provides that in case
story is deemed offensive to the
army, the newspaper involved will be
summoned not before the ordinary
courts, but before a military tribunal.
It is easily Understandable what a
hindrance such a bill was for a press
preparing an outburst of invectives at
Primo de Rivera's military dictatorship.
Pressing demands have been made on
Gen. Damasco Berenguer, Spanish pre-
mler, TO palllate the provisions OF the
law, but he is not in the least obliged
to comply as the legislation was con-
stitutional before the dictatorship.
One Benefit Welcomed.
Still, editors will be more free and
will be relieved of the obligation to
submit all proofs and change or re-
write articles in compliance with orders
issued by the old "anastasia," as the
censorship is called in Spain. Sensa-
tional revelations may be published on
the doings of the dictatorship, but, as
everything has already been voiced and
published abroad, If not in Spain, on
the role of the dictator and the King,
very little is likely to be revealed. The
end of the censorship initiates the cleo
ton campaign.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, June 3
(NANA.I.-Dougla Fairbanks has
tened back to Pickfair, arriving in
movieland Sunday to celebrate the an
niversary of his marriage to Mary Pick
ford.
Fairbanks left the chief at Seligman,
Ariz.. and chartered a special plane to
get him back to movieland. He left a
studio running at high gear on Mary
Pickford picture. He returns to find the
picture in chaos and few on the lot
aware of what will really be done with
It in the final analysis.
Fairbanks departure for the golf
tournaments of England was precipi-
tous. It came upon the heels of his de-
cision to abandon the stories on which
he had been working of late. His return
is as sudden as his departure.

According to the Metropolitan Opera

Baxter is man of remarkable charm.
His easy, gracious presence and excel

him a favorite with magazine writers
and all interviewers. He has pulchri-

Commercializing the Dead Sea.

The English syndicate which has been
engaged in extracting the mineral con-
tent of the Dead Sea is now devoting
its activities to the recovery of the min
erals which lie along the shores. Pc
troleum deposits have been discovered,
but their value and extent have not
been determined. 1t is not known
whether the petroleum is deposited in
permeable layers or in basins. Boring
operations are very costly.
The potash deposits along the shore
also are being investigated to determine
their value.
