mm r T - m THEATERS PUT BAN Oil FIGHT PICTURES Managers of Moving Picture Shows Will Not Use the Films in Richmond. STOPPED IN INDIANAPOLIS POLICE HAD TROUBLE AT FIRST EXHIBITION WORLD WIDE AGI TATION AGAINST FILMS TAKING A NEW TURN. No Johnson-Jeffries pictures for Richmond. By mutual agreement at a meeting this morning theatrical managers decided not to exhibit the fight films In this city. There has been a small agl tatlon against the pictures here and although the police were passive, violence was feared as a possible result of an exhibition, and the managers were nearly all In favor of excluding the films. At Indianapolis yesterday pictures of the fight were shown and the theaters were thronged with both whites and blacks, hissing and cheering until the police stopped the exhibitions. This had much influence on the decision of the-local theater men. WORLD-WIDE EFFORTS. Boston, July 13. The world-wide campaign of the Christian Endeavor society against the exhibition of the Reno fight pictures has taken a new turn. An effort is being made from the society's headquarters in Boston to form vigilant committees throughout the country, composed of citizens who shall employ legal counsel and if nec-' jessary.ask for Injunctions to stop exjhlbitions of the pictures. These com- ' m iff 0fs a ro tn ttA fnrniAil Kv wrtlim. teers and it is hoped that many people outside of the Christian Endeavor society will offer their services. Secretary Shaw has received many letters and telegrams from all parts of the country, commending the action of the society and offering assistanceAmong these was a message from Governor H. S. , Hadley of Missouri who wrote that he would make every possible effort to keep the fight pictures out of . Missouri and that -he would urge In the next legislature, the passing of a bill to prohibit fight pictures. Governor Augustus Wlllson of Kentucky writes that he has no authority to stop the fight pictures, but that he will urge the theaters and others interested to co-operate in the attempt to prohibit the pictures.

INDORSE IIISURGEIICY

ALL SORTS OF GROUNDS

STATE LAW PROVIDES MANY POSSIBILITIES FOR COUPLES CHAFING UNDER THE YOKE, AND COURT MUST GRANT DECREES. Recounting its advantage as a divorce colony, the Quaker City of the west is not so many linear feet behind Reno. Nevada, except that in addition to the divorce business, Reno entertained the recent unnleasantnesa known as tho JeTr!es-Johnson mill. But in Richmond there is Glen Miller park and a Fall Festival. Appalling are tne yearly statistics of the Wayne circuit court which show that at least one-third of the civil business transacted is in straightening out the disillusionments of the honeymoon and the present year is about to outdo the seasons that have gone before. Since January 1 there have been fif ty divorce suits filed in the circuit court, and thirty-three decrees have been rendered by Judge Fox. In addi-; tion to the cases brought this year, a large number filed in previous years are still hanging fire. The proportion of divorces to the number ot mar- J riages is about one sixth. Women Bring the Suits. It is usually the man who proposes but the woman who gets the divorce. Out of the entire number filed since the first of (he year only twelve men are among the plaintiffs. Grounds for divorce as shown by 5 the complaints are varied. Usually such statutory grounds as cruel and inhuman treatment, failure to provide, drunkenness, and abandonment are avesred. Seldom does a plaintiff make demands upon the court for single happiness without chaging more than one failure on the part of the defendant In carrying out the marriage contract. It makes it easier in the trial of the cases, for if the court could not be influenced to act favorably on one ground, he might in another, or the combination of the charges, each being slight in itself, might turn the trick. Indiana laws are said to be responsible for the, existing conditions, although they' have strict residence provisions. One must live within the state two years before a divorce can be secured and six months In the county in which the application is made.. Proof of the residence of a petitioning party must be sworn to by two freeholders of the county. Court Must Grant Them. Judge Fox does not relish particularly the position which he holds, as it is up to him, except when a jury is present to determine whether the plaintiff should be given a decree. As long as all technicalities of the law are fulfilled and the evidence seems to war. rant a divorce, there is nothing for the court to do but to grant it. Very few cases are on record in Vhich a decree has been denied. These are usually warmly contested by the defendants, but it is so seldom that a defendant answers the plaintiff's petition, that his absence usually infers that he, too, would enjoy being single again.

The comment of the Influential Ger man press on the American-Oerman incident today Is for the most part favorable to the. United States but there is no apparent disposition to go out of the way to straighten out the tangle or attempt placation. Several of the papers profess indifference as to the attitude of the United States. It is significant that the North German Gazette, the official paper, maintains silence on the Incident. ' The papers which are most emphatic in declaring America's opinion un

worthy of consideration are the Vosslsche Zeitung and the Neuesto Nachriehten. The Berliner Post says that if the American press feels in clined to lecture on the behavior of "rulers," It might begin with Roosevelt. The Glasgow sanitary authorities , have discovered a strange form ot thrift on the part of a working woman. The one room occupied by her was stored from the floor to within three feet of the celling with cotton waste on the top of which she slept. The waste weighed two and three quarters tons and when sold realized f 35. 1 The woman said she stored it against the time when she could no longer work. Her employer, a fringe snd tassel maker, allowed her. apart from her weekly wage to take away useless waste lying on the floorsof the warehouse after she cleared up on Saturdays.
