Representative Stern
Says There is Big
Fund Now Collected
From Movie Men •
HIS BILL MADE
SPECIAL ORDER
Philadelphia Law-maker Asserts His
Measure, Is Deaigned to Take the
Place ot Senator Daix's Censorship
Bill If the Latter Falls of Passage
Tho Stern moving picture censorship
bill, which makes the charge for cen
soring a. moving picture at fifty cents,
irrespective of the number of reels,
instead of $2.5Q a reel as now, was
this morning made a special order of
business in the House for 10 o'clock
uext Monday evening.
There was a slim attendance in the
House when the bill came up for final
passage. The measure was objected to.
Mr. Stern, of Philadelphia, who wanted
the bill postponed for the present but
that plan met with'objection and final
ly a motion making it a special order
of business was passed.
Mr. Stern supporting his bill said
there is a large fund in tho treasury
of the State censors, accumulated from
the present $2.50 foe, and advocated
the passage of this bill to aid the mov
ing picture men of the State. Mr. Wil
liams, of Tioga, ask if the bill had the
backing of the censor and why, if
there is a large fund in the treasury,
the censors are askiug for an appro
priation of $84,000.
The sponsor said he talked to Attor
ney General Brown on the bill saying
that in the event the bill now in the
Senate would not pass the moving pie;
ture men would still have a bill in the
Legislature. He confessed that lie did
not known the size of the fund the cen
sors had at their disposal but ho said
lie thought the large appropriation ask

Heaviness—U. S. Steel and Other
Issues Show Losses
Now York. April 22.—Wa1l Street—
I With few exceptions leading stocks
: were lower almost to the point of heavi
ness at the outset of to-day's opera
tions. U. S. Steel, Union Pacific, Amal
gamated Copper and other issues which
form the bulk of each session's busi
ness declined from material fractions to
a point. Rock Island and the South
western railway shares added to yes
terday's losses and Bethlehem Steel also
went a point lower. The only feature
of pronounced strength was the tobacco
issues which gained from 1 to 3 points.
Trading lacked the furious activity of
recent openings, all offerings being in
moderate amounts.
For the first time in over a fort
night, business in the early session held
within normal bounds. Standard shares
made some-recovery from opening de
clines, but coppers were the conspicu
ous feature, Amalgamated Copper, Utah,
Inspiration and others of that group
goiug above yesterday's high quota
tions. .Steel continued under pressure,
but a number of industrials and equip
ments rose 2 to 5 points. Further ad
ditions were made to gains in tobaccos,
which seemed to be based primarily on
sentimental considerations. Railways
of the higher class were almost neg
lected, but towards midday Union Pa
cific and Reading rose on renewed in
quiry. Bonds were firm.

BARNES' ALLEGED
SCHEME OF GRAFT
Coatlaaerf From Finl Pace.
witness for the defense after the crotf
examination of the Colonel was eon
eluded.
Conference Delays Opening of Court
There was some delay in opening
court to-day because of a conference
between attorneys and Justice Andrews
in the latter 's chambers. WHion the coo* 1
ferenflS wan over court was opened. A
copy of the report of the Hayne com
mittee, which investigated Albany coun
ty a flairs, insofar as it related to print
ing, was admitted tu the record. This
had to do with contracts for State
printing let to the Albany "Journal,"
Mr. Barnes' paper, and other concerns,
and the assignment of certain of these
contract*.
Excerpts from the report were then
road. The first part had to do with
gambling, disorderly houses" and the
payment of money to various officials
for doing various things. The report
of the committee was made in 1911.
Barnes' Interest In ' 'Journal* 1
Tho majority of the stock of the
"Journal" Company, tho report point
ed out, was owned "by William Barnes,
that contracts lot to the "Journal"
Company were 'farmed out to the
"Argus" Company, which paid the
"Journal" Company fifteen per cent.
The report stated that William
Barnes controlled printing in Albany,
practically was the owner of one com
pany, owned one-fourth of another
company and collected tribute from
the third company. Tho report de
clared that an employe of the "Argus"
company testified before the commit
tee that the company gave up 15 per
tent, in order to secure printing busi
ness.
It was stated that the "Argus" com
pany bid lower than other competitors
for State work, but was unable to get
the business because it was "outside
the ring." It was said further that
public documents supposed to have
been printed by the ' Journal" com
pany and bearing that concern's im
print actually were printed by the
"Argus" company.
Padding of Public Printing
"Padding of public printing for the
benefit of the 'Journal' company," was
described by the report. Another part
read: '
"Duplicate payments for public
printing made to the 'Journal' com
pany. ''
One ex'erpt was:
"The most conspicuous beneficiary
of graft, public extravagance anil
raiding of the municipal treasury, we
tind from the evidence to be William
Barnes himself as the owner of the
majority of the stock of the "Journal"
company. How much more than the
majority of it a stock he owned he re
fused to disclose."
Another excerpt read:
Barnes Dictated Printing Awards
"Mr. Barnes dictatod where the
printing goes and the "Argus" gives
up to the "Journal" in order to obtain
printing."
The par value of Mr. Barnes' stock
in the Lyon concern was $75,000, the
report stated, with the comment that
Mr. Barnes would not sav how he got
it.
Articles which appeared in the New
York magazines and newspapers about
Albany politics were then admitted to
the record. The terms "machine poli
tics," "boss Barnes" and "boss
Piatt" appeared repeatedly ia these
articles.
Colonel's Offending Statement
"The 'Murphy-Barnes conspiracy"
was also mentioned in the articles. Aft
er the articles were read Colonel Roose
velt resumed the Btand. In reply to
questions by Mr. Bowers he said:
"I received a letter from Mr. Barnes
albout the State printing house after I
had recommended one. Mr. Barnes
called upon me later and said that
su«h a printing house would bo ia line
with socialistic propaganda which
would interfere with enterprise in pri
vate business."
Colonel Roosevelt then explained how
he gavo out the offending statement:
"I dictated the statement and gave
it to Mr. IMcGrath, my secretary, atd
told him to give it to newspaper corre
spondents at Oyster Bay. I desirod the
statement to be published in full
throughout Xew .York State. [ believed
it would receive some publicity outside
the State.
"I wanted to reach the voters. I
knew of no other means excejit the
newspapers."
Cross-Examinatton Begun
The cross-examination then began.
Mr. I.vins began asking Colonel
Roosevelt about his early life.
"Did you ever study the constitn*
tion?"
"I did while I WHS studying law in
Columbia. Later, however, i became an
author."
"Have you always been an au
thor!''
"I have been a naturalist, an author
and a public official. Sometimes I have
followed all threo pursuits simultane
ously. ''
The crowd in the court room laughed.
"What district were you elected to
the Assembly from?"
"The Twenty -first."
Beat Hesse, a Boss
"Mr. Hesse, a boss, was the leader
wasn't he?"
"Yes. We beat Hesse," replied
Colonel with a smile.
"When you read the constitution\>f
the State did you see anything about
eligibility for the Governorship?" •
. "I don't remember. I guess I did."
Tho Photoplay
Probably never before has Edieon
produced a three-part drama that equals
"The Stoning." If there is a material
thing that is perfect, then this picture
belongs in that category. It is the old
story of the fallen woman who returns
to the little country town, and the
name is well fitted for this extraord
inary feature, which Kdison has adapt
ed from the story by James Oppen
heini. "The Opal Ring," a two-act
Essanay drama, featuring Edna Mayo.
