SEEK GIRL'S SLAYERS

that linger Imprints might assist tho
pollco In running down tho murderer of
5-year-old Lcnoro Ann Cohen, who wns
stabbed to death near her home, nt 332
3.1 avenue, Inst night, tho detective bureau
today had tho child's throat photo
graphed. Tho little girl had evidently
been choked to prevent any outcry whllo
tho murderer plunged a long-bladed,
sharp knife Into her abdomen.
Lennro was on her way home from a
store at the time. By tho side of the
bedy was a pall of Tnllk which she had
purchased, but not ono drop of which
was spilled. Nearby was a small bag of
candy.
Mrs. Emma Cohen, mother of Little
Lenore, was prosetrnted with grief to
day. "I'll hunt down the man that killed
my child If It takes me till the em' of
my life," she said. "I am not seeking
personal vengeance, but, my God, a man
like that ought not to he allowed at
large. There was no reason for killing
my child I haven't an enemy In the
world. Three years ago I burled my hus
band. A year later I burled my little
son. And now" her voice broke as she
sobbed "and now I must bury my last,
my cnlv one, and I am left all alone in
the world."

METHODISTS SCORN
LIQUOR INDEMNITIES
Conference Adopts Resolution
Opposing Compensation
Plnn Brumbaugh Praised.
NORR18TOWN, Pa., Mnrch 20 -Denunciation
of the liquor traffic, made to
day In forceful speeches before the Phila
delphia Conference of tho Methodist
liplscopal Church, In session here, brought
enthusiastic pledges of support by the
clorgsman, representing $3,000 church
members.
Tho Rev. John Watchorn, pa'tor of tho
Kratikford Central Church, and vice
president ot tho Conference Temperance
Society, was applauded when he snld:
"Tho sporting world Is with us. The
commerclnl world Is with us, nnd the
nowspnpers are wu.li us. We cannot fall.
The conscience or tho church and tho
community Is nroused.
"In Russia, In Unglnnd and in our own
Southland," said Mr. Wntchoin, w-o hnvo
practlcallv forced prohibition. In the
sporting world it Is now recognized that
a man who drinks cannot run as well,
pitch ns well or bat as well as a man
w'nn does not.
"A prominent liquor Journal pays us
the highest compliment when It writes:
Tho Methodist Church Is n solidified
force ngnlnst us Wo have more senti
ment than wo know how to dlrert. Wo
must bring It to bear nt tho founts of
legislation."
Olstrlrt Supeilntendent William Po
wick followed Mr Watchorn with a
resolution condemning t'no "Idiotic Idea
beforo tho Legislature to compensate
rum sellers for tho loss sustained by
revoking licenses."
"It Is an Incomprehensible folly, he
said, "unworthy ot more serious consid
eration than mere denunciation." Tho
resolution wns adopted
"We call upon the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company to obscrvo tho develop,
ment, which Is tnklnr placo In advertising
circles In this country, and to prevent tho
display of liquor advertisements in their
cars," said tho Rev. David S. Sherry,
secretary of the Temperance Society.
Thete is a tremendous growth of senti
ment among newspapers and magailnes
against publishing liquor advertisements.
Wo want to record our approval ot Gov
ernor Brumbaugh's effort to havo tho

The Return
Common S
ense
Experience, scientific management and conditions
govern the operation of all railroad trains. No arbitrary
rule can ever be substituted for common sense, the sum
of these factors.
When the Full Crew " excess man crew " Law,
which arbitrarily fixes a minimum number of men for
all train crews, attempts to take the place of common
sense this is the result:
One limited passenger train of seven cars is forced
to carry a crew of eleven men, not counting the five in
the diner.
The Metropolitan Limited of nine cars has fourteen
men in the crew and ten in the diner.
The railroads are yearly forced to waste $2,000,000
in wages for, such superfluous men.
But when experience, scientific management and
conditions dictate, the railroads do not hesitate to man
trains in excess of the number set by the Full Crew
Law. Every day 480 freight trains in New Jersey and
Pennsylvania are carrying more men than the law re
quires. For example, one Lehigh Valley Railroad local
freight train of about 15 cars is given a crew of seven
men the law requires only five because there is work
to be done.
Anxious to speed the return of common sense in
train manning, the railroads favor giving the Public
Service Commissioners full power over the manning of
trains without any restriction as to the minimum or
maximum number of men. This will do all that the Full
Crew Law was intended to do, and will, in addition,
broaden the power in the public's hands.

"MOVIE" MEN STILL
DEFY STATE CENSOR
Display Appeal to Voters ori
Screens Despite Ofllcinra
Threat to Seek Arrests.
Motion picture exhibitors today contin
ued to defy the State censor, J. Louis
Brcltlngcr. by throwing on their screens
a legend, embodied In nn outlined liberty
bell, rending:
"Censorship belles the spirit of '76.
Write to your legislators to voto for tho
repeal of censorship."
Tho slides were uncensored, and It !
snld to be tho Intention of Mr. Breltlnger
to seek the nrrest of every manager ex
hibiting the legend.
Tim exrhnngo men will meet today to
outllno tholr legal campaign. They nr
snld to lie In worse shape than tho ex
hibitors, for the reason that tho censor
can hit nt them moro directly than at
tho exhibitors, who get tholr films from
the exchanges. The latter say they are
coinpletclv at the mercy of the censor.
They complain lie is the tlnal arbiter and
thoro Is no appeal from his I tiling, no
matter how arbitrary nnd unJuBt It
may be
Within tho last three weeks thcro hav
been several Instances In which, accord
ing to those familiar with existing cir
cumstances, the censor's i-ullng has been
open to question About four weeks Jigo
he "O. K.'d" "Three Weeks" on condi
tion that Klynor Glynn's name bo not
used In connection with the advertising
matter. Early this week, after the fight
against him had assumed concrete shape,
ho lesclnded his permit, giving no rea
son for this action.
Another case Is that relating to Tolstoi's
"Kreutzer Bonnta " This film, produced,
by the Fox Film Corporation, with Nnnco
O'Neill, Thedn. Barrn and William Shay
In tho leading roles, has been turned
down by Mr. Broltlnger, although It has
passed in ovcry other State whoro It waa
submitted.
Two other films bearing the titles of;
"Krcutscr Sonata," put out by other;
firms, ono In two nnd tho other In threo
reels, havo been passed by tho censor
and havo been shown In this city.
A flagrant caso, according to tho ex
ohongo men, relates to a film based on
ono of tho best sellers. It Is alleged by
tho exchange mon thnt when tho film
was nbout to bo submitted to Mr. NIvcr,
the assistant cenBor, sho declared It
would bo uteless to submit It, ns sho had
rend the novel and disapproved It, Sho
never saw tho film, so It Is said, yet
Judged Its contents, morality and lltor
ary value.
Tho meeting of tho Judiciary Commit
tee to hear arguments In favor of the
bill to ropeal tho censorship law has been
postponed from next Tuesday to a week
later.
