Charles F. Adams, 10,
Boston Merchant and
Sportsman, Dies
By the Associated Press

BOSTON, Oct. 2.-Charles F.
Adams, TO, country boy who
founded the largest New England
owned grocery chain and became
the regions best-known sports pro-
moter, died today.
His versatility as financier led
him to organize the first National
Stores and to set up two of Boston's
biggest sports ventures-the Bruins
Hockey Club and Suffolk Downs
horse-race track. For short time
he held controlling interest in the
Boston Braves baseball club.
Mr.. Adams-known as &C. F.
among his associates and in the
business world-often was confused
with Charles Francis Adams, the
former Secretary of the Navy, OF the
old Boston Adams family. They
were not related.
Son of Lumberman.
Born in Newport, VT, Mr.. Adams
was the son Of lumberman. He
left his home town at 18 to work as
a $2-a-week clerk in his uncle's
grocery store in Springfield, Mass.
Later he met John T. Connor, opera
tor of one of New England's three
leading grocery chains.
When Mr.. Connor retired in 1915,
Mr.. Adams organized a financial
group to take over the firm, which
then had 10 stores. 1t grew to 500
and later merged with the two other
chains to become the First National,
with Mr.. Adams as treasurer.
Got Hockey League Francise.
In 1924, Mr.. Adams formed the
Boston Professional Hockey Associa-
ton and obtained a National Hockey
League franchise.
In 1929, when the Boston Braves
were running into financial difhcul-
ties, Mr.. Adams helped reorganize
the club and became its principal
owner.
He formed a syndicate to build
the Suffolk Downs track, giving up
his baseball interests in 1885.
The widow, a son, Weston, and
four grandchildren survive.

Makers Of Anti-kIan Film
Will Appeal Virginia Ban

A representative of Screen Guild,
producers of the film, THE Burning
Cross" said here today that his
company will appeal the decision OF
the Virginia Board of Motion Pic
ture Censors- to ban the anti-Ku
Klux Klan movie.
Jack Cartwright, public relations
director for Screen Guild, said the
appeal will be entered at Richmond
within the next 10 days.
The Virginia censors yesterday
refused to rescind its ban on the
film on grounds that 1t would tend
to revive "animosities, disnkes and
enmities." After reviewing it's de-
cision the board issued a statement
expressing belief the film would
tend to "incite prejudices and in
tensify emotions, thereby reviving
the controversies and disputes which
the board believes presently to be
quiet and not now occupying the
public attention"
Mr.. Cartwright said Virginia is
the first State to ban an anti-Ku
Klux Klan picture.
