Regarding the claim thAt the exhi- bition of the pictures may cause race riots, Mayor Buckingham said: "No race riots are to be feared in Bridge- port. Our negro population is sen- sible and law abiding. They under- stand all that talk about the fight settling a question of race supremacy for what it was just advertising. "Jeffries is not the first white ;an "who has been knocked out by a ntgro, nor is Johnson the last negro who will be knocked out by a white man. "Until our negro brethren begin to surpass us in the invention and per- fection of the modern implements of warfare, they will not claim race su- premacy and we will not fear a change in the existing status. "One able bodied tiger in a 24 foot ring with Johnson, or Jeffries, would find little difficulty in disposing of either in a combat by brute strength. "But give either man .a x Winches- ter Rifle loaded with a cartridge made under the direction of Jerome Orcutt, in the plant of the U. M. C. Co., and the hide of that tiger will be made ' into a rug. "A prize fight in the show house of race supremacy is like the first steam engine, a mere display of an , obsolete form of settling disputes. "The first engine and the first steam boat are interesting because they show the beginnings of locomotion and how poorly the thing used to be done. . "Band to hand combat with fists is about as stimulating. "A fist is a poor thing beside a Maxim machine gun. And I noted," concluded the mayor, with a smile, "that before the sports were admitted at Reno, they had to leave their guns outside." v PRATT'S CAFE, 137 Fairfield Ave., is sure to have what you want in ales, wines and liquors.

Denouncing1 prize fighting as brutalizing and the exhi- bition of pictures of the Reno fight as no less so, Mayor iritzgeraia 01 Boston, today announced that Boston would see nothing of the Jeffries-Johnso- n battle. The mayor's announce- - znent followed the inception of a gen- eral crusade against the fight pictures which had been begun by Secretary "William Shaw of the Christian Endea- vor Society. "Prize flgnting in itself," said Mayor Fitzgerald in explaining his position, "is brutalizing -- and for this reason is inrntilW'toil n ahmit kvpitt at a ft in tnet , Union. "In a few months no state in the union will permit a prize fight. Bos- ton oueht to take the lead in banish- - lng pictures of this sort. Consequent- ly I do not think that the pictures of the fight will be given in Boston." Mr. Shaw has sent out appeals to "President "Taft, Colonel Roosevelt, Governor Hughes of New York and Mayor Gaynor of New York City, urg- - - ing their Influence against the mov- ing picture campaign. Today he will continue the battle and will send out to mayors and governors all over the"' United States, the following tele- gram: "Race riots and murders already fol- low the announcement of Johnson's "victory. Moving pictures of the prize fight will create more violence. Will you Join in appeal to authorities, cit- ies and towns, to prohibit pictures as law provides?- - Help save our young people from these demoralizing shows. Wire answer. (Signed William Shaw, General Secretary, United Society of New York, July 6. Led by the Uni- ted Societies of Christian Endeavor with four million members,' and the International Association of Police Chiefs, a movement is on foot to pre- vent the exhibition,, of the pictures of the Jeffries-Johnso- n fight that prom- ises to be international in its scope. The Christian Endeavor Society, through its Boston authorities, . has wired a lengthy petition to the gover- nor t of every state in the union asking . that pictures be barred on the grounds that they reproduce an illegal act and that the moving pictures of the fight will be Just as Illegal as the actual fight itself. Secretary William Shaw declared to- day that he had also wired Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and President Taft to use their Influence to prevent the pictures from being exhibited. The American Vitagraph Company, which owns the films of the fight, is believed to have expended a quarter of a million dollars in purchasing the exclusive rights and in taking the pic- tures. Jeffries was paid $66,666 while Johnson got $50,000. Rickard and Gleason got a "cut" and still own one-six- th of the rights. In addition, the moving picture concern spent a small fortune perfecting machines for mak- ing Improved pictures, sending a score other incidental expenses. The pic- ture people expected to take in $1,-000,- during the first month the film were on exhibition. This sum is sure to be reduced materially if the agitation against the production of the pictures continues to spread. It is feared that the sight of a ne- gro knocking out a white man would lead to more of the race feeling that resulted in Monday night's rioting. Among the larger cities that have put uic.9Lo.uxi oi uisappruvai uii me pii;- - tures are Washington, the national capital, Cincinnati, St. Louis,. and At- lanta. At the last meeting of the Inter- national Association of Police Chiefs there was passed a resolution intro- duced by William A. Pinkerton, of Chicago, urging the police to stop all the moving picture shows that exhibit films casting ridicule upon the police or showing pictures of criminal acts, thus tending to Increase crime. Moving pictures of prize fights are placed in this category. Mayor Gay- nor of New York today declared he would take no action looking toward barring the pictures. "New York," he said, 'has not the large negro population of other cities and I am sure that there will be no race feeling engendered here by the pictures." But what Mayor Gaynor refuses to do Mayor Schwab of Cincinnati has already done. "I cannot share the be- lief of those who believe such an ex- hibition has any good effect like in- creasing interest in physical culture. It would not be consistent to bar the Actual Aght and then allow the pic ture. Mr. Eames said this morning that the building occupied by the foundrj is going to be utOized for depart- ments that will employ many more men than the foundry did. He wa3 not at liberty to make public the nature of the new departments. He said that the closing of the foundry was not new, as the company had been six months winding up it3 af- fairs. The reason for the change is that the foundries of the Singer Mfg. Co. at Elizabethport are located at tidewater and coal and iron ore are brought there a great deal cheaper than they can be brought to Bridge- port. The raw materials are un- loaded at the door of the New Jersy plant. (UK CLASSIFIED.) FOR SALE. 5 rooms of household furniture.

Faxley Tells Interesting Anecdote r of Late Chief. J ustice Interesting"" Meeting Be- tween Young Lawyer and Famous Jurist in Thomp- son's Restaurant. In speaking of the death of Chief Justice Fuller, Attorney George P. Farley of this city said, "I was per- sonally acquainted' with Chief Jus- tice Fuller for a number of years and my remembrances of him are pleasant. I first had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Fuller during the early part of 1888. At that time as a member of a Lawyers Club in Chicago I was ap- pointed as one of a committee to in- vite leading members of the Cook County bar to be present and address the meeting, which was held about once in three months. As a member of the committee I sought arid se cured Mr. Fuller as speaker for one of our regular meetings in the early part of April. 'His fame as an orator was well "known to the older as well as the younger members of the Bar, " and when the night of meeting came every seat in our Club room was occupied. Mr. Fuller's subject was "This Repub- lic is Opportunity" and for over an hour he kept his audience spell bound with his brilliant and graceful diction. Some days afterwards I happened to meet Mr. Fuller in Thompson's restaurant across the street' from his office. - I had finished my meal and was passing out and in doing so I went by the table at which Mr. Fuller was seated. I was only too glad of an opportunity to express my grati- tude to the - gentleman 1 who had ac- cepted, my invitation as one of a com- mittee from the club, and , had made such a lasting impression. We had spoken but a" few words when a. telegram was handed, to Mr. Fuller. ' As he broke the envelope 1 felt as if a further stay on "my part would be an intrusion, and I start- ed to go out.' I.had.no more than turned my back when I . heard some one calling.- - Mr. Farley and turning around Mr. Fuller proffered me the telegram which he had just - opened and read. . Upon taking it from him I was practically beside myself with surprise .as it read "President Cleve- land" has this day nominated you for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Signed, Daniel Lamont, Secretary. "After reading the dispatch I hand- ed it to Judge Shope then one of the most brilliant Judges occupying a seat on the Supreme Bench of Illi- nois, and who with a number of friends was seated at an adjoining' table. Upon reading the dispatch Judge Shope at once came over to of- fer his congratulations to Mr. Fuller. Returning to Mr. Fuller's table we found his face buried in his hand- kerchief, and he was shedding tears. Judge Shope was one of those tactful men who never allowed his good hu- mor to desert him and taking in the situation remarked, "O never mind brother Fuller, If you have any diffi- culty with that job just send for me." Of course this set us all laughing, and Mr. Fuller brushing the tears from his eyes most gracefully thanked Judge Shope for his offer and re- marked, "We will think of that after the Senate takes action." Of course we were all very happy and in a few minutes the news was on all bulletin boards of Chicago, and Mr. Fuller was overwhelmed with congratula- tions from every source. No man could occupy that eminent position with a more lofty purpose and simple dignity than -- did Chief Justice Fuller. For many years after he went to Washington he was a fre- quent visitor to Chicago which he seemed to cherish more as his home than any other place in the world-- It seemed to relieve his mind from heavier cares to come back to that city and meet and shake hands with There Is in Bethel, the boyhood home of Barnum, a beautiful fountain, which the great showman once of- fered to Bridgeport, ori the under- standing that it should be erected at tures shown." It was in Cincinnati that the troops wcro onlleri emt to nrevent the Jeff- - ries-Ruelli- -n fieht several vears aeo. Mayor Maddox, of Atlanta, Ga., af- ter a conference with Carlos Mason, chairman of the police board, has re- fused to allow the pictures there. "We had a small riot here Monday night and had not the reserves arrived quickly the -- riot would have assumed serious proportions. I have refused aboslutely to allow any pictures shown of the fight," said Mayor Maddox. Chairman Reynolds of the police board of St. Louis announced today that he would call a special meeting of the board for tonight and prevent the exhibition of the pictures in that city. - In many southern cities the agita- tion against the fight pictures is In- creasing due to the fact that a negro was the victor. Mayor Reyburn of Philadelphia de- clines to stop the fight pictures. "I do not anticipate a riot,' he said. "We simply spit on our hands and hold back." Baltimore is almost sure to bar the pictures. -- The police board commis- sioners has asked Mayor Mahool to take action and the chief executive replied that such a request from the commissioners would meet with his hearty approval. The crusade has extended abroad for in Johannesburg, South Africa, the vitagraph halls, themselves have prohibited the pictures. The latest race feeling in South Africa, it is feared, would burst into flame, if the pictures were ever shown in that country. Washington, ' July 6. The commis- sioners of the District of Columbia today Issued an order prohibiting the exhibition of moving pictures of the Jeff-Johns- on fight within the boun- daries of the district. The action was taken upon recommendation of Chief of Police Sylvester. The fear of a repetition of Monday night's race riots was the chief incentive of the commis- sioners. Pittsburg, July 6. Jeffries-Johnso- n fight pictures will be exhibited at the local moving picture shows here unless it is found they incite riot and also encourage crime, according to Direc- tor of Public Safety Morin and Chief of Police McQuaid here today. WEEKS WILL NOT ACT. Middletown, Conn., July . Be- cause the fight returns were bulle- tined all over Connecticut without any serious race riots on Monday, it is not believed today " that Governor Frank B. Weeks will take any action toward prohibiting showing the fight pictures in the state. "I have not given the matter the slightest thought," , he said ' today when interviewed as he was coming from a meeting of the trustees of the Connecticut Hospital for, the Insane. "If necessary I will make a 'State- ment later." " . NO FIGHT FOR TAUNTON. Taunton,' Mass.,' 'July 6. Mayor William S. Woods said today that he certainly would oppose the exhibition of the fight pictures in Taunton pro- vided that it appeared to him -- to be the wishes of the citizens. He be- lieved that the race issue, already aroused would be intensified by such an exhibition and, even laying this part of the matter aside, he did not believe that the pictures could have other than a bad effect upon the minds of young people and as such were not desirable as an exhibition. NO POWER IN GOVERNOR. Denver, July 6. Following the ac- tion of several eastern cities in bar- ring exhibitions of the Jeffries-Johnso- n motion pictures, a movement was started in Denver today to petition Governor Shaffroth and the mayors of every city in Colorado to follow suit. It is doubtful, however, wheth- er the governor has power to act. NOT BARRED IN CHICAGO. Chicago, July 6. Although protest has been made to the city officials against the Jeffries-Johnso- n fight pic- tures, there is little likelihood of their being barred from Chicago. Mayor Busse and Chief of Police Steward today said they could see no reason for discriminating against the Jeff-Johns- on pictures. LINCOLN OPPOSED. Lincoln, Neb., July 6.

Many invitations to the wedding have been sent out, and it is antici- pated that the sruests who are expected not only from this city, but also from New York and various parts of this State, will outnumber any such event held in this city in years. Following: the nuptials, an elaborate wedding breakfast will be spread for the guests, after which the wedding ceremony will be held, continuing till well into the evening, with dancing; singing and other diversions agreeable to a hymenal feast. The bride and groom- - have not an- nounced their wedding itinerary, but they will take a late train this evening for New York and will be gone for some time. They will be at home to their friends after Aug. 15th at 35 San-fo- rd avenue. The contracting parties are well known in this city, coming of promi- nent Jewish families... the father of the groom being- - a Main street jeweler and a former Park Commissioner. The bride is highly accomplished and a leading Jewish belle of the city. ' The groom is a graduate of Bridgeport High school in the class of 1900. Yale University 1904. and has traveled two years in study in Europe. . For the past year, up to Easter; . he has been in charge of the senior 'room, and was teacher of modern languages at the local High school. He also took a course in law at Tale. GREEK MINISTER WEDS MISS ANNA COCKRELL TODAY (Special from United Press.) Norwich, Conn., July" 6. Miss Anna Cockrell, daughter of Former United States Senator F. M. Cockrell of Mis- souri, and Lambros A. Coromilas, the Greek minister at Washington, were wed quietly today in the home of the bride's sister in the presence of mem- bers of Miss Cockrell's family and a few intimate friends. The ceremony was performed by a Greek priest from the capitol city, and according to the Greek church service. With fifty-fo- ur years upon his head Mr. Coromilas was regarded as a con- firmed bachelor. They left for Greece, where the minister will spend six months leave of absence. STREET EMPLOYE IN COURT.

Jeff made light . of the blow at his friends in the most informal man- ner. X Yet when he returned to Washing- ton the language in his decisions and official work was most refined, stud- ied and often of a poetic character, and the one thing that will be regret- ted by the members of his time hon- ored profession is that he has not left atreatise upon some subject of law in which would be preserved his fault- less, flowing, legal style which would be a great help to many younger members who find the study of law dry and uninteresting.

' ' ' 'statute. ', v"In this state there is no such law.
I presume that the rule Is that thereshould be as little interference as pos-
sible by Jhe authorities with thingsthat are lawful. .. . '
"Yet, undoubtedly. In the matter ofthese' pictures the. authorities havediscretion:- - T.Uis alscretltfn? tfKbnidbeexercised in accordance wifh . sdundpublic opinion, and I believe that itwill be."
Regarding the claim thAt the exhi-bition of the pictures may cause raceriots, Mayor Buckingham said: "Norace riots are to be feared in Bridge-port. Our negro population is sen-
sible and law abiding. They under-stand all that talk about the fightsettling a question of race supremacyfor what it was just advertising.
"Jeffries is not the first white ;an"who has been knocked out by a ntgro,nor is Johnson the last negro whowill be knocked out by a white man.
"Until our negro brethren begin tosurpass us in the invention and per-fection of the modern implements ofwarfare, they will not claim race su-premacy and we will not fear achange in the existing status.
"One able bodied tiger in a 24 footring with Johnson, or Jeffries, wouldfind little difficulty in disposing ofeither in a combat by brute strength.
"But give either man .a x Winches-ter Rifle loaded with a cartridge madeunder the direction of Jerome Orcutt,in the plant of the U. M. C. Co., andthe hide of that tiger will be made
'
into a rug."A prize fight in the show house of
race supremacy is like the first steamengine, a mere display of an , obsoleteform of settling disputes.
"The first engine and the first steamboat are interesting because they showthe beginnings of locomotion and howpoorly the thing used to be done. .
"Band to hand combat with fists isabout as stimulating.
"A fist is a poor thing beside aMaxim machine gun. And I noted,"concluded the mayor, with a smile,"that before the sports were admittedat Reno, they had to leave their gunsoutside." v

Boston, July 6. Denouncing1 prizefighting as brutalizing and the exhi-bition of pictures of the Reno fightas no less so, Mayor iritzgeraia 01Boston, today announced that Bostonwould see nothing of the Jeffries-Johnso- n
battle. The mayor's announce- -znent followed the inception of a gen-
eral crusade against the fight pictureswhich had been begun by Secretary"William Shaw of the Christian Endea-vor Society.
"Prize flgnting in itself," said MayorFitzgerald in explaining his position,"is brutalizing -- and for this reason is
inrntilW'toil n ahmit kvpitt at a ft in tnet, Union.
"In a few months no state in theunion will permit a prize fight. Bos-ton oueht to take the lead in banish- -lng pictures of this sort. Consequent-ly I do not think that the pictures ofthe fight will be given in Boston."
Mr. Shaw has sent out appeals to"President "Taft, Colonel Roosevelt,
Governor Hughes of New York andMayor Gaynor of New York City, urg--
- ing their Influence against the mov-ing picture campaign. Today hewill continue the battle and will sendout to mayors and governors all overthe"' United States, the following tele-gram:
"Race riots and murders already fol-low the announcement of Johnson's"victory. Moving pictures of the prizefight will create more violence. Willyou Join in appeal to authorities, cit-ies and towns, to prohibit pictures aslaw provides?- - Help save our youngpeople from these demoralizing shows.Wire answer. (Signed William Shaw,General Secretary, United Society of
New York, July 6. Led by the Uni-ted Societies of Christian Endeavorwith four million members,' and theInternational Association of PoliceChiefs, a movement is on foot to pre-vent the exhibition,, of the pictures ofthe Jeffries-Johnso-n fight that prom-ises to be international in its scope.
The Christian Endeavor Society,through its Boston authorities, . haswired a lengthy petition to the gover-nort
of every state in the union asking. that pictures be barred on the groundsthat they reproduce an illegal act andthat the moving pictures of the fightwill be Just as Illegal as the actualfight itself.
Secretary William Shaw declared to-day that he had also wired ColonelTheodore Roosevelt and PresidentTaft to use their Influence to preventthe pictures from being exhibited.
The American Vitagraph Company,which owns the films of the fight, isbelieved to have expended a quarterof a million dollars in purchasing theexclusive rights and in taking the pic-tures. Jeffries was paid $66,666 whileJohnson got $50,000. Rickard andGleason got a "cut" and still own one-six- th
of the rights. In addition, themoving picture concern spent a smallfortune perfecting machines for mak-ing Improved pictures, sending a score
other incidental expenses. The pic-ture people expected to take in $1,-000,-
during the first month thefilm were on exhibition. This sumis sure to be reduced materially ifthe agitation against the productionof the pictures continues to spread.
It is feared that the sight of a ne-gro knocking out a white man wouldlead to more of the race feeling thatresulted in Monday night's rioting.Among the larger cities that have putuic.9Lo.uxi oi uisappruvai uii me pii;- -tures are Washington, the nationalcapital, Cincinnati, St. Louis,. and At-lanta.
At the last meeting of the Inter-national Association of Police Chiefsthere was passed a resolution intro-duced by William A. Pinkerton, ofChicago, urging the police to stop allthe moving picture shows that exhibitfilms casting ridicule upon the policeor showing pictures of criminal acts,thus tending to Increase crime.
Moving pictures of prize fights areplaced in this category. Mayor Gay-nor of New York today declared hewould take no action looking towardbarring the pictures.
"New York," he said, 'has not thelarge negro population of other citiesand I am sure that there will be norace feeling engendered here by thepictures."
But what Mayor Gaynor refuses todo Mayor Schwab of Cincinnati hasalready done. "I cannot share the be-lief of those who believe such an ex-hibition has any good effect like in-
creasing interest in physical culture.It would not be consistent to bar theActual Aght and then allow the pic
ture.Mr. Eames said this morning that
the building occupied by the foundrjis going to be utOized for depart-ments that will employ many moremen than the foundry did. He wa3not at liberty to make public thenature of the new departments. Hesaid that the closing of the foundrywas not new, as the company hadbeen six months winding up it3 af-fairs.
The reason for the change is thatthe foundries of the Singer Mfg. Co.at Elizabethport are located at tidewater
and coal and iron ore arebrought there a great deal cheaperthan they can be brought to Bridge-port. The raw materials are un-loaded at the door of the New Jersyplant.

OFFICE GAME
Attorney George P. FaxleyTells Interesting Anecdote
r of Late Chief. Justice
Interesting"" Meeting Be-
tween Young Lawyer andFamous Jurist in Thomp-son's Restaurant.
In speaking of the death of ChiefJustice Fuller, Attorney George P.Farley of this city said, "I was per-sonally acquainted' with Chief Jus-tice Fuller for a number of years andmy remembrances of him are pleasant.I first had the pleasure of meetingMr. Fuller during the early part of1888. At that time as a member ofa Lawyers Club in Chicago I was ap-
pointed as one of a committee to in-vite leading members of the CookCounty bar to be present and addressthe meeting, which was held aboutonce in three months. As a memberof the committee I sought arid secured Mr. Fuller as speaker for one ofour regular meetings in the early partof April.'His fame as an orator was well
"known to the older as well as theyounger members of the Bar, " andwhen the night of meeting came everyseat in our Club room was occupied.Mr. Fuller's subject was "This Repub-lic is Opportunity" and for over anhour he kept his audience spell boundwith his brilliant and graceful diction.
Some days afterwards I happenedto meet Mr. Fuller in Thompson'srestaurant across the street' from hisoffice. - I had finished my meal andwas passing out and in doing so Iwent by the table at which Mr. Fullerwas seated. I was only too glad ofan opportunity to express my grati-tude to the - gentleman 1 who had ac-cepted, my invitation as one of a com-mittee from the club, and , had madesuch a lasting impression.
We had spoken but a" few wordswhen a. telegram was handed, to Mr.Fuller. ' As he broke the envelope 1
felt as if a further stay on "my partwould be an intrusion, and I start-ed to go out.' I.had.no more thanturned my back when I . heard someone calling.- - Mr. Farley and turningaround Mr. Fuller proffered me thetelegram which he had just - openedand read. . Upon taking it from himI was practically beside myself withsurprise .as it read "President Cleve-land" has this day nominated you forChief Justice of the Supreme Court.
Signed, Daniel Lamont,Secretary.
"After reading the dispatch I hand-ed it to Judge Shope then one of themost brilliant Judges occupying aseat on the Supreme Bench of Illi-nois, and who with a number offriends was seated at an adjoining'table. Upon reading the dispatchJudge Shope at once came over to of-fer his congratulations to Mr. Fuller.Returning to Mr. Fuller's table wefound his face buried in his hand-kerchief, and he was shedding tears.Judge Shope was one of those tactfulmen who never allowed his good hu-mor to desert him and taking in thesituation remarked, "O never mindbrother Fuller, If you have any diffi-culty with that job just send for me."Of course this set us all laughing, andMr. Fuller brushing the tears fromhis eyes most gracefully thankedJudge Shope for his offer and re-marked, "We will think of that afterthe Senate takes action." Of coursewe were all very happy and in a fewminutes the news was on all bulletinboards of Chicago, and Mr. Fullerwas overwhelmed with congratula-tions from every source.
No man could occupy that eminentposition with a more lofty purpose andsimple dignity than --did Chief JusticeFuller. For many years after hewent to Washington he was a fre-quent visitor to Chicago which heseemed to cherish more as his homethan any other place in the world-- It
seemed to relieve his mind fromheavier cares to come back to thatcity and meet and shake hands with

fered to Bridgeport, ori the under-standing that it should be erected at

Mayor Maddox, of Atlanta, Ga., af-ter a conference with Carlos Mason,chairman of the police board, has re-
fused to allow the pictures there. "Wehad a small riot here Monday nightand had not the reserves arrivedquickly the -- riot would have assumedserious proportions. I have refusedaboslutely to allow any pictures shownof the fight," said Mayor Maddox.
Chairman Reynolds of the policeboard of St. Louis announced todaythat he would call a special meetingof the board for tonight and preventthe exhibition of the pictures in thatcity. -
In many southern cities the agita-tion against the fight pictures is In-
creasing due to the fact that a negrowas the victor.
Mayor Reyburn of Philadelphia de-
clines to stop the fight pictures. "Ido not anticipate a riot,' he said. "Wesimply spit on our hands and holdback."
Baltimore is almost sure to bar thepictures. -- The police board commis-sioners has asked Mayor Mahool totake action and the chief executivereplied that such a request from thecommissioners would meet with hishearty approval.
The crusade has extended abroadfor in Johannesburg, South Africa,the vitagraph halls, themselves haveprohibited the pictures. The latestrace feeling in South Africa, it isfeared, would burst into flame, if thepictures were ever shown in thatcountry.
Washington, ' July 6. The commis-sioners of the District of Columbiatoday Issued an order prohibiting theexhibition of moving pictures of theJeff-Johns- on fight within the boun-daries of the district. The action wastaken upon recommendation of Chiefof Police Sylvester. The fear of arepetition of Monday night's race riotswas the chief incentive of the commis-sioners.
Pittsburg, July 6. Jeffries-Johnso- n
fight pictures will be exhibited at thelocal moving picture shows here unlessit is found they incite riot and alsoencourage crime, according to Direc-tor of Public Safety Morin and Chiefof Police McQuaid here today.
WEEKS WILL NOT ACT.Middletown, Conn., July . Be-
cause the fight returns were bulle-tined all over Connecticut withoutany serious race riots on Monday, itis not believed today " that GovernorFrank B. Weeks will take any actiontoward prohibiting showing the fightpictures in the state.
"I have not given the matter theslightest thought," , he said ' todaywhen interviewed as he was comingfrom a meeting of the trustees of theConnecticut Hospital for, the Insane."If necessary I will make a 'State-ment later." "

NO FIGHT FOR TAUNTON.Taunton,' Mass.,' 'July 6. Mayor
William S. Woods said today that hecertainly would oppose the exhibitionof the fight pictures in Taunton pro-vided that it appeared to him -- to bethe wishes of the citizens. He be-lieved that the race issue, alreadyaroused would be intensified by suchan exhibition and, even laying thispart of the matter aside, he did notbelieve that the pictures could haveother than a bad effect upon theminds of young people and as suchwere not desirable as an exhibition.
NO POWER IN GOVERNOR.Denver, July 6. Following the ac-
tion of several eastern cities in bar-ring exhibitions of the Jeffries-Johnso-n
motion pictures, a movement wasstarted in Denver today to petitionGovernor Shaffroth and the mayorsof every city in Colorado to followsuit. It is doubtful, however, wheth-er the governor has power to act.
NOT BARRED IN CHICAGO.Chicago, July 6. Although protest
has been made to the city officialsagainst the Jeffries-Johnso- n fight pic-tures, there is little likelihood of theirbeing barred from Chicago. MayorBusse and Chief of Police Stewardtoday said they could see no reasonfor discriminating against the Jeff-Johns- on
pictures.
