 Two Black Crows
 Moran and Maax Amarica's pre- mier blackface comedians will be featured at the Coliseum Sunday and Monday in "Anybody's Var This entertaining comedy has to do with the adventures of two negroes from Tennessee who go to France to win the war.
 There is comedy in the scenes where Mack, while trying to pre- vent Deep Stuff" his dog, from falling into the hands of the Ger mans, falls into the enemy's hands himself. There is suspense where Mack and Neil Hamilton, both pris- oners of the Germans, send mes sage with the dog to their com- mand, informing them that the Germans are planning attack.
 The scenes at home, where Mack, as the town dog catcher, is shown keeping the dogs at his home in- stead of killing them, is amusing
 The scenes of their return home, with the town band playing in their honor and the dogs rushing to the station to receive them, and expressing their great joy by barks and howls, is the hit of the pic- ture.
 Scenes of the Elks convention in Seattle, showing the Alaska delegation marching in the parade, costumed as totem poles. are shown in Pathe News, which will be run Sunday and Monday by special re- quest.

Celebrates
Pastor Stays in Jail to
Save Nation From
Foul Books.

CHICAGO, July 4.-The Rev.
~ Phillip Yarrow, crusader
against erotic books, celebrated
confined but what he called a sat
isfactory independence day in his
cell at the county Jail, where he
is serving a sentence to uphold
principle.
1.-THE founders of our nation suf-
fered to uphold Americas right
to freedom" the minister said.
81 don't mind spending some time
in jail to save my country from
foul books"
Meanwhile, Walter Shaver, the
bookseller who is responsible for
Yarrow's being in Jail, paid $3.50
to the county for another weeks
board for the minister. Shaver
will continue to pay the board in
definitely, he said.
Shaver sued Yarrow for dam
ages, charging that the minister
persuaded him to sell an allegedly
obscene book and then had him
prosecuted. Publicity from the
case ruined his business, the book
seller said.
The court awarded Shaver SIS, 900
but the minister refused to pay.
He went to Jail under an old
statute and will stay there as long
as Shaver pays the $3.50 week
for board, or until the bookseller
gets his $1,000.
II have organized a little con-
gregation here in debtors row."
Mr.. Yarrow said today in his cell,
"and I am happy. I am confident
that justice will be done soon and
I will be released"

Judge Frank Baker, Of the

motion for change Of venue filed by
Ira Holmes, attorney for Charles
Vernon Witt and Louis Hamilton,

fayette A. Jackson.
The motion for a change of

cause Of the excitement and
prejudice in the county gaainst the
defendants"
The Indiana statute under which
the pair will be tried makes man
datory a death penalty upon con-
viction for murder while in PER
petrati0n Of a robbery.
Judge Baker may designate the
county in which the trial is to be
held or name three, in which event
the defense and the state may
strike one each.
The trial date originally had been
set for July 13 by Judge Baker.
A change of venue would mean
that 1T could not be held under
either in October or November as
calendars in most Of the circuit
courts Of adjoining counties have
been approved for September.
Petition for an early trial in the
county designated will be field by
Prosecutor Herbert E. Wilson, he

Encyclical Brands Government With Tolerat-

Italian Catholic Orders.

from the church all the youth Of
Italy, for a political reason.
2. The Fascist party oath, as it
stands and as administered to chill
dren and youths, is Illicit because it
is contrary to the rights of the FAM
lily and the rights of the church.
8. Violent acts and insults to the
pope III connection with closure of
the Catholic clubs were permitted
by Fascist authorities and led to
the impression that there were
uniform directions received from
some high authority
4. The suppressed AZione Cato
lica branches never were engaged
in politics, as charged, nor were
the leaders anti Fascist.
5. The Fascist party is incom-
petent to educate the youth of Italy,
point which long has been a
serious strain on Italo- Vativan re-
lationS.
6. 1.-THE battle now being fought
is not political, but moral and re-
ligious, exquisitely moral and re-
ligiouS."
Z. The government authorities
have assisted or were about to as
sist silently and by inaction" in
anti-C Catholic demonstrations which
occurred in certain districts after
the pope had Cancelled various fes-
tivities because of the present crisis.
The pope's encyclical, bringing to
a climax the vain efforts to achieve
a diplomatic settlement of the
Italo-V Vatican controversy, appar-
emily was given to the world by a
diplomatic maneuver which avoided
the possibility Of delay or inter-
ference and assured publication
everywhere.
The pope said that the Fascist
party had acted ITO monopolize
completely the young from tenderest
years up to manhood and woman
hood, and all for the exclusive ad-
vantage of a party and a regime
based on an idealology which clear
ly resolves itself into a real pagan
worship of fate which no less is in
contrast with the natural rights Of
the family than it is in contradic-
ton of the supernatural rights of
the church"

PARIS, July 4.-The bitter, his
toric struggle between church and
state in Fascist Italy took a dra-
matte turn today with the publica-
ton of a forceful encyclical issued
by Pope Plus XXI, laying before the
world his grievances against the re-
gime headed by Premier Benito
Mussolini.
The pope, firmly defending the
authority of the Roman Catholic
-embattled in the land of
its birth-charged the Fascist au-
tllorities with tolerating, If not
actually directing, recent attacks
on the Catholic young mems clubs
of Italy.
In his encyclical--brought to
Paris from Vatican City by trusted
courier to avoid possible restriction
by the italian government-the
pope charged that the suppression
Of the clubs, with attendant irrev-
erence and violence, were part Of
the Fascist government party's plan
to add to It's own power through
gaining control of the youth OF the
land.
The latest document from the
Vatican, brought abroad to be free
of the restrictions possible in the
sphere of Fascism, was dated:
Rome, from the Vatican, in the
solemnity of the holy apostles Peter
and Paul, June %, 1881"
The major charges in the ency-
clical, in summary, may be said to
include:
/. The Fascist government, using
the Azione Cattolica merely as a
pretext, has attempted to tear away

huge skyrocket, a frightened boy
landed near here today, uncon-
firmed reports said, after a.

The boy could not tell physi-

recollection of the fight was when
the rocket carried him out Of
sight Of the streets of his home
town.
He declared he did not recall
entering the strataSphere and did
not suffer from the intense cold,
although he was barefooted and
wore neither hat nor coat.

far from the field where the an
nual July 4 celebration is being
staged.
