July 3. The Administration was confronted this Afternoon with an open revolt of the south ern Democrats In the Senate when It soughl to run the steam roller over opposition to the, food and liquor control bill and force tho measure to an early vote. The south erners were Indignant at the Inclusion of eotton In the Hat of commodities placed un der the Government's control by the measure. The southern senators not only refused to sign the petition to apply tho closure. or "Bag." rule to close debate, but they made It plain to the Administration that they would do all In their power to defeat the bill unless cotton control was elim inated. As a result, the Administration leaders temporarily pigeon-holed the petition to the Vice President to put the motion to re strict debate and bring the bill to a vote The petition today boro the signatures of twenty-eight Senators, both Republicans and Democrats, but the motion to close debate would require two-thirds of a quorum and with the southern Democrats allied with the opposition no such strength could be mustered by the Administration. The southern Democrats kicked over the Administration traces today when they began hearing from "back home" oer the action of the Senate yesterday. They de clared that the bill, originally designed tn apply only to food, had been so overloaded with control as to make It a serious menace to the business prosperity of the country, especially the South. Senator Chamberlain, In charge of the food and liquor bill, renewed his efforts to day to pbtaln unanimous consent for the restriction of debate. He declared he did not claim the opposition was filibustering and had no Intention of using the steam roller, but Insisted that general debate should be closed Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania, again blocked the agreement He emphatically denied that he was filibustering "I haven't noticed any oert act In the nature of a filibuster." he said "But there are many Important amendments to this bill, and I want time to consider them " , Senator Chamberlain pointed out that, under the closure rule, each Senator would have an hour to talk, but Senator Penrose persisted In his objection, and tho unan imous consent agreement was tossed In tjia waste basket "I hope the newspapers won't say that the friends of temperance objected to this agreement today. ' commented Senator Jones, of Washington, nn ardent "dry." The prohibition forces Fat quietly on th side line whllo the unanimous consent agreement was being debated Senator Johnson, of South Dakota, today offered a solution to the tangle confronting the Senate. 'He proposed to elnnlnate tho whole bill and flatly authorise tho Govern ment to commandeer men and property wherever and whenever wanted In the con duct of the war ITALIANS ACKNOWLEDGE WELCOME AND GIFTS Envoys Express Gratitude for Reception and Aid Mrs. Stotesbury's Tribute Gluseppl Donato. noted Italian artist, EOS South Broad street, this city, today tendered money orders representing 1523 to the Prince of Udlne. of the Italian War Mission In Washington.

The President Is said to be more con vinced than ever that the flovcrnmont will do nny prize fixing necessary and that the producers shall not A rather startling dve!opment In the situation came today, when It became knewn that one of the moEt prominent members of the Defense Council, who Is nlso high In Administration official rlrclts, was warned the day before tho operators agreed to fix a coal price that they probably would do Just that The warning came from another Govern ment head, ho has made n study of the coal situation This official strongly favors drastic action by the OovernMcnt to keep prices down to normal levels.

CENSORS BAN READING DELETED MOVIE TITLES New Rule 27 Arouses Ire Film Producers, Who Make Protest of JUDGE HAILED AS MENTOR Shattuck's Statement That He Will Be Guided by Jurist's' Opinion Received Gleefully By M'LISS Rule 27. the latest mandate of the Penn sylvania Board of Censors to curb the enterprise of movie producers, has brought forth a wall of protest. This rule forbids Ihe utterance or publica tion of any titles or subtitles that have been stricken out by censors, and Is the result of a siiecesful brief attempt on the part of the produrers "to bent the devil aroupd the bush " According to the Famous Players' Kx change, which company Is Indignant at the new ruling, the action of the censors Is not American-like since It interferes with free speech nnd free press In a letter which they are giving wide publicity they express the hopo "that the recent nppolntment of such a broad-minded Individual as Frank It Shattuck will tend to lessen some of the present evils of censorship." Mr. Shattuck. because tne official notifica tion of his nppolntment to the chairman ship of the bonrd has been slow In coming and because he has not yet met his fellow members, Mrs. Blanche Nlvers and Dr Hills Oberholtzer, deferred comment on the letter It happened when the producers of "On Trial" which was shown recently at one of the leading moving picture theatres here, engaged a professional actor to read aloud tho titles and subtitles that had been de leted. This got under the skin of the censors, It was said, and Kule 27 was the result.. But great enthusiasm Is being expressed In movie circles oer the successor to I.ouls J Breltlnger. more particularly since In the first Interview he has git en since his np polntment. published exclusively In the Evemiso I.EDann yesterday, Mr Shattuck declared that he was likely to be Influenced In his decisions In large measure by Judge John M. Patterson, of the Common Pleas Coutt Judge Patterson Is an avowed movie 1lber.il llepealedly motion-picture companies np peilert from the censors' decisions and fought for their rights In court Judge Pat terson has heard many of these cases nnd has hecomn skillful. It Is Mild. In treading tho middle path between the prudish and tho salacious. The decision which he handed down re cently In the case of the film dramatization of "The Kaslest Way, written by Kugcno Wnlters and shown all over tho country on the legitimate stage by David Belasco, was greeted with particular Joy by those who held that the Pennsylvania censora were ovcrstepng the mark and discriminating In favor of one bad picture and against an other The censors objected first to the name, "Tho Kaslest Way"; they were sorely up set by many of tho subtitles, such as one which read: "A 20-a-week soubrctte with a llmouslno appetite" And. lastly this etoked 11 wldo grin, even on the faces ot tho producers they wanted the story changed so that tho leading female char acter married the "villain" tho theatrical manager who had spoiled her chances of a happy marriage! Judge Patterson, although granting the censors the elimination of a few of the scenes and suhtitles, was frankly in this case In sympathy with the producers. JUDfit: PATTRHSON'S ItL'LINO The Board of Censors has necessarily a hard task in trying to decide whether certain molng-plcturo plays are moral or Immoral, ho said In deciding this case Opinions probably always differ as to what is moral In literature, art or the drama What seems moral to ono gener ation will not seem so to another, nor to all people of the same generation and the same locality. The question of morality l.i not absolute, but relative. It not only arles among contemporary IndMduals. but alfco among contemporary nations. It may and has varied from age to age. The vulgar frankness of "Tom Jones" was not regarded as hurtful In the day In which It was written, although today many people do regard It and many other books written at the time ns de moralizing. A few years ago a committee In charge of our public schools (with the exception of one woman) voted that Victor Hugo's "Les Mlserables" should not be used In the Girls' High School. What fair minded person of today will contend that this book Is Immoral? It kindles thought and Inspires to noble feeling; It braces rather than enervates the mind. There are and probably always will be captious persons George Eliot's "Adam Bede" has been characterized as the "vile outpourings of a lewd woman's mind"; Stores j WiW$S & Phone.

Today these writings are all recarded ss classics. ... We have outlived the Idea that Inno eence and Ignorance the sarn things. The board, In dealing with the moral as pect of msny motion-picture plays, fre quently confuses questions of morals wllh questions of taste. The word 'morality, while necessarily including sex morallt. should not be narrowed down to that equivalent alone The Immoral motion- . picture play, a number of which have been passed by the Board of Censors, may be ine that makes a direct appeal to our. lower nature, thereby exalt ng P"'on the expense of principle. If the Produc tion Is such as to degrade the beholder, It Is Immoral, whether the scenes portrayed deal with sex morality or not WHAT IS IMMORAL Any production Is Immoral, ami there fore harmful, which confuses right nnd wrong. Such a production may he quite respectable. It may contain nothing obvl ously offensive, and yet be an Immoral motlon-plcture play because It blurs the moral Ualon. It has been said by somV authorities that Gilbert rarker'i, night of Way" and Meredith's "Lord Or mont" are both Immoral htcause they confuse right and wrong This mu or may not bo so On the other hand, t Is generally conceded that Balzac and Tol stol. whose books are full of unpleasant details, never confuse our moral sense.

'Training a navigator," said one of the school ofnelals, "Is not an easy task, and In order to make the effort a success It will be necessary to recruit a majority of the students from the merchant marine. "fleforo entering the school It will be necessary for an applicant to prove that he has had sea experience and that he has sutne'ent education to take up the study of navigation. "Dy two years' sea experience the board of examiners does not mean, that an appli cant must have served two years as a deckhand aboard a coastwise or transat lantic ship. The man who has had expe rience aboard a sailing vessel or fisherman Is likely timber, and from such timber the shipping board plans to crento n force of cfnclent ship ofnecrs.
