HIIS OBERHOLTZER
Takes Responsibility for Oust
ing Censor, Saying He Slan
derod Board
DECLARES HE APOLOGIZED
"Slanderous" statements regarding
the Board of Motion Pleturo Censors
prevented the reappointment to that
body of 'Dr. Ellis P. Oberholtzcr, ac
cording to Governor Sproul.
. T.t? G"verno,r bns Issued a statement
to this effect, in which he accepts full
responsibility for the present member
ship of the board nnd its work.
Governor Sproul's stntemenat fol
lows :
" 'The moving-picture Interests hnd
absolutely nothing to do vith the re
moval o Dr. Oberholtzcr. As wns well
known nt the time, the event being dulv
iccorded in the public press, a commit
tee of producers nnd exhibitors visited
me publicly In Hnrrlsburg and mnde
some complaints about what they called
the 'nnrrowness' of the Pennsylvnnin
censorship. I defended tho censors, ah
I nlso did to other critics nf their no
tion, who objected vigorously (n cliiul
nntions of scenes frcm films produced
from their books.
ObcrholUer Not Attached
"The Individual criticisms uore large
ly aimed not nt Dr. Oberholtzcr. but nt
another member of the board whom I
reappointed. Xo one connected ulfh the
moving-picture industry ever nskeil me
to remove Dr. Obcrholtzer. nor was any
one in that industry consulted regarding
the appointment of his successor.
"It was my Intention to reappoint
Dr. tlberholtzer'' until, at about the
time that his term expired, there was
brought to me n letter which he had
written to n woman friend of his In
Pittsburgh containing slnnderoim nntl
vituperative statements regarding the
chnlrman of the board and other ex
pressions so bitter nnd Indecorous t lint
I could not but feel that his usefulness
ns a member of the hoard had been
destroyed, the letter having come into
the possession of his associates.
"Dr. Obcrholtzer apologized for his
letter, but his apology did not restore
conditions of harmony. After much
consideration I appointed Henry Starr
Richardson to a place on the board,
suggesting that Dr. Oberholtzcr be
given n position where ho might ad
vantageously use his talents by direct
ing the inspection of pictures to see
that th Intent nnd purpose of the law
had been carried out.
Legislature's Action
"During the last session of the Legis
latino, a bill was introduced proposing
reorganization of the department nnd
providing for small increases in the
salaiics of the members of the board,
who now receive less than one-half
the salary which is being paid for
similar work in the newly constitnted
New York Board of Censors. As the
bill left our office nnd was introduced
it contained a provision for the con
tinuation of the place of director filled
by Dr. Obcrholtzer. This was stricken
out by tho Houso of Representatives. I
have learned nt the instance of n Phil
adelphia member, 'who considered the

"fhcre Is, therefore, no provision for
the cmp!oymcnt,of Dr. Obcrholtzer ex
cept through the contingent fund, nnd
the Auditor General has taken the
ground that he is not warranted in au
thorizing payment of n director in the
face of the fact that the place wns ex
pressly omitted by tho Legislature. In
this ho is entirely within his rights.
"It certainly must be conceded that

the success of the Board of Motion
Picture Censors as for any other or-

nvc"eald on many occasions, It Is my
opinion thnt the board Is now working
more carefully, more systematically and
with more uniformly effective results
than at any time since Its creation, nnd
I am entirely satisfied with tho work it
is doing nnd the plans which It has
made for carrying on tho censorship In
the future.
"It Is co-operating cordially with
the public authorities of the Stnte nnd
our municipalities, and Its work has
been Btudlcd nnd commended by Inter
ested parties seeking to establish similar
censorship elsewhere.
"I nccept full responsibility for the
make-up of the board nnd Its work."
HITS SUNBURNED POLICE
No More Extended Vacations Be

Patrolmen who court sunburn on the
seashore sands as 11 means of extending
their summer vacations will have to
cool off at their own expense.
Many of the men who returned for
duty recently resembled lighted pump
kins nnd requested post -vacations to
have their burns healed. This hnbit
greatly decreased the working forco and
to bring it to n halt Superintendent of
Police Mills issued the following order:
"No members of this bureau will re
ceive pny for time lost because of sun
burn received while on vacation or off
duty."
In explaining this nrdr Superin
tendent Mills snld : "Mnny members
nf the bureau have extended their va
cation, some of them deliberately, by
incurring severe cases of sunburn while
on their vacation. Vncntlons Inst two
weeks. At the end of this period sonio
of the men have been in the. hnblt of
reporting to Chief Surgeon Owens with
cases of sunburn which necessitated
them being off for several more dns.
Hereafter men must work whether they
have sunburn or not."

JUDGE WAS VERY KIND
Sitting on the porch of her sn'MPhnme
at -4020 Bnynton street todny, Mrs.
Klizobcth Danlils told her story of the
divorce case that Ims so purzled ner.
The finnl decree wns about to be
granted John Daniels in Common Pica
Court No. 2 .ctordny, when Judge
Itogers held up the proccedlnss on the
woman's apne.il. She had been in the
hospital, nnd had "ickcd both health nnd
funds to contest the .rase.
Mrs. Daniels is nrcninluroly gray, nnd
as she talked she tried to keep her thin
hands from twitching. Hir hend Iwnr-i

for n long time nnd my mother puzzled
over them, but we could not ninkc them

"So I took them to a lady for whom
Isoinetlmes did housework and sie ad

breakfast di'hes. we went downtown
nnd we were good nnd early, too, for
we got down nt S :.'I0 o'clock. We
did not know what to do or where to
go nnd we nsked lots of people on the
street. Mot of them turned nway and
somo tried to help us, but wc could not
understand.
"It was verv warm, and I hnd mother
to take care of. I kent hold of her
arm. and we. wandered around. Then
a kind policeman sent us to City Hnll
nnd nnother kind policeman in City
Hnll told us to go to some room. Wc
went from room to room, and we were
so weary. At Inst somebody 'took us
into the courtroom.
"It was n very big room, but so
stuffy ond hot. And the people were
crowded In so close. So we jut sat
there, mother and I. nnd wnlted. We
did not know what everything was nil

my name called. It must be my divorce

somehow, and nsked the judge not to

everybody turned and stared, but some
how I managed to get up to a railing.
I lust put my hand on tho railing
nnd looked up at the Judge nnd waited.
His name was Judgn Itogers, Such a
kind man. If he had spoken crossly
to me I fiever could have gone on
never. I cannot bear to be trcalOd
roughly. But he was kind, and he asked
me what was tho matter In such a kind
way.
"So I took courage nnd Just told him
how sick I had been, and said I had no
money, nnd could not get a lawyer to
fight for me. I told him .there was no
one but just mother and I to fight. And
he sent me to the Legal Aid, nnd I told
them nbout it. The Judge snld If they
can't tnke enre of me lie will get n

In favor of Mr. Daniels, nnd the final
decree was about to be proclaimed when
Mr.. Daniels arose nnd the proceedings
were Mined. The case will be mmiI
