HOUSE PASSES NEW
CENSORSHIP DILL
"Movie" Men Regard Measure as
Victory Over Breitinger.
By a Staff Corresfondint
HARrtlSBURG, Pa., May 6.The House
today passed the Dalx bill reorganizing
the StaU Board of Moving Picture Cen
sors. The measure was amended In the
House In some of Its minor features, and
will go back to the Senate for concur
rence before It Is sent to Governor Brum
baugh. The bill Is tho administration measure.
It establishes a censorship board of three
persons, curtails the powers of the State
censors and reduces the cost of censor
ing films to $1, Tho vote on the measure
was ISO to 0.
Tho new photoplay censorship statute,
as passed by the House, Is a direct vic
tory for tho exhibitors and tllm exchange
men of the State, they said today. The
bill, which thoy feel certain will become
a law, because It was drafted Under the
supervision of the Governor, curtails the
.pwcrs of the censor materially. Under
tho old law, he had absolute power over
all films.
Tho new law makes It possible to ap
peal from court fines Inflicted for the
alleged Illegal display of films; reduces
the slzo of fines from JIM to $50 and
establishes three censors Instead ot one.
J. Louis Breltinge.iv.tho present censor,
may be reappointed by Governor Brum
baugh, but tho film men and exhibitors
will make a determined fight to eliminate
him as a candidate.

"without friction." He declared ho wan
thoroughly satisfied with the situation.
Though there was deep Interest in to

rected toward the Garibaldi celebration at
Quarto, where Gabrlele D'Annunzio,
the poet, was expected to sound a "call
to arms," against Austria. D'Annunzlo'a
journey to Quarto was that of a national
hero, demonstrations being organized by
the Interventionists all along the railway

D'Annunzio expressed regret when In
formed that King Victor Emmanuel and
his Ministers would not attend the cele
bration. "I am keenly disappointed," he said.
When asked what the nature of his
oration would be he replied, "Merely a
hymn of national harmony."

to quiet him, but the prisoner was more

"This Is a pretty state of affairs," he
shrieked. "Here I am a member of this
court and you are handing all this about
me to the newspapers. A fine state of
affairs,"
Magistrate Carson made seyeral efforts
to quiet Dwyer, but he had to be led

EPJSCOPAL CHURCH
PENSION FUND CALLED
INADEQUATE TO NEEDS
Commission's Report to
Diocesan .Convention De
clares Disabled Clergy
and Others Suffering
From Neglect and In
efficiency. Aged and disabled clergymen, widows
and orphans are "suffering from the cor
porate neglect and Inefficiency" of the
Episcopal Diocese or Pennsylvania, ac
cording to the report of the Commission
on Church Pension Fund, submitted to
day nt the diocesan convention, being
held In tho church of St. Luke and tho
Epiphany, 13th below Spruce street.
The commission unanimously recom
mends that the convention adopt the re
port and join the church pension fund
In Its report. It points out that, "after
several generations of most capable
presentation, out existing agencies are
still insufficient to care for more, than
60 per cent, of those in need."
Immediately after the presentation of
the report, the discussion of it started. It
was evident from the start that the ro
port would not be accepted without a
fight. Although, according to the report,
the churches of the diocese have ex
pdessed assent to the plan in the pro
portion of five to one, there was strong
opposition In the convention.
The report of the commission Is signed
by the nev. Dr. Louis C. Washburn, pas
tor of Old Christ Church, Second street
above Market, the chairman; the Rev.
All3n R. Van Meter, E. Walter Clark,
James F Fahnestock and William T.
Wright. The Commission lauds the "fine
magnanimity which has prompted and
provided for the Inauguration of this fund,
and which Is ready to undertake the se
curing of the very large amount, per
haps J3.000.000, necessary to cover the ac
crued liabilities."

cellor appointive every three years by the
bishop was made Just .before luncheon,

diocese was offered It failed after a

District Attorney Dumfounded
as Mils. Black Deals Blow
at Plan to Prove That Death
Stroke Was Delivered From
Within House.
MINEOL.A, L. I Slay 5. Sensation
after sensation waa sprung today In the
trial of Mrs. Florence Carman, accused
of the murder of Mrs. Loulso Bailey, to
day, when a new witness upon whom tho
prosecution placed great hope In helping
to convict tho defendant gave testimony
which was received as a great victory for
the defense.
Tho new witness, Mrs. May I. Black, a
neighbor of the Carmans, at Freeport,
was Introduced by District Attorney
Smilh. following a statement issued by
him to tho effect that Mrs. Black would
testify that on tho night of the murder
she heard a noise similar to an explosion
In the Carman home, but failed to see
any one making nn escapo across the
lnwn This fact, according to tho Dis
trict Attorney, was to have substantiated
the contention of the prosecution that the
shot which killed Mrs. Bailey was Bred
from within tho house, and not from the
outside, ai Is contended by the defense.
Mrs. Black testified qulto to the contrary.
WOMAN'S TESTIMONY.
Mrs. Black testified she lived directly
west and adjoining the Carman home
In Freeport on Juno 30 last, when Mrs.
Ballej was shot to death there. She
said after dinner on that night ,she and
her two daughters went out on the front
porch. She placed the time at shortly
beforo S o'clock. It was still light.
Suddenly she heard a crashing of glass,
followed by what she thought was an
explosion They came from the direc
tion of tho Carman home. Sho arose
and walked around her porch to where
she could see the Carman home. She
saw no one running through the yard.
Then she walked down Into the yard
and over to a treo directly opposite the
Carman home. In front of tho windows
of Doctor Carman's office she said she
saw a man standing. Sho described him
m being of medium height and wear
ing a slouch hat
Smith was plainly disconcerted by tho
entirely unexpected blow his case re
ceived at the outset. Mrs. Carman's
counsel word jubilant The Freeport phy
sician's wife, who entered court today a
trifle paler than at any tlmo this week,
wis visibly elated. She turned to her
husband and daiiRhter, her face -wreathed
In smiles, as Mrs. Black's cross-examination
was completed.
SMITH MAKES FIGHT.
District Attorney Smith at once sought
to show that tho man she saw was Georgo
Goldcr, who it was brought out at the
first trial waa in Doctor Carman's office
when Mrs Bailey was killed.
He failed, however. In his attempt
to prove tho man Mrs. Black saw was
Colder. He placed Golder on the stand,
who told of going to the Carman home
on the night of the murder to get some
medicine. He was In the waiting room
when he heard a shot. He walked out
side by Doctor Carman's window. But
he stated positively that he wore a straw
hat. Mrs. Black testified that the man
she saw wore a soft hat.

she did not know what became of tho

WASHINGTON, May 5. The State Department today made public the
