Best of Three Fight- Films Has

Heeding the warning of the almost uni

the Jeffries-Johnson fight pictures in this

nounced last night that children will be
absolutely barred from witnessing the
films. The exhibition of the pictures will

who attend the production will know be

various concerns and individuals inter

pictures of the recent — met at the
company's ofnee. on Fifth avenue. Manhat

Three negatives of the big fight "were
reeled off. and the one agreed on as the
best win be used at the coming public
exhibitions.
J B Elackton. ? member cf ths Vita

'"We may show them tc the board." Mr

we have had it pass on a!! our pictures,
and we have found it very fairminded and
practical It has not objected to a single

have slwaye acted on its suggestion for the

<r lt Is . a great mistake to look on the
pictures as brutal I have seen the pict
ures several times, and think that I am
competent to judge of them. It is Quite a.
different thin? from the fight itself, for,
however brutal that may have been, the
brutality is not displayed by the films. I
do net think that any fair-minded person
could object to them The film? contain
much besides the - fight— pictures •at the

SCH(H)NER RAMS STEAMER
Hesperus, from Hamburg, Dam
aged in Fog Off Nantucket,
SIX-MASTER RAKES VESSEL
Carries Away Part of Rail and
: Shatters Foremast — Addle M.
Lawrence Sails On.
The German tank steamship Hesperus
cams in from Hamburg yesterday with a
broken foremast, a pile of shattered fit
tings stre-^n around her deck and about
twenty feet of her starboard rail missing.
She was thoroughly seaworthy, her skipper
said, but she will have to undergo some
repairs before returning to Hamburg. The
Hesperus had been hit in the fog off Nan
tucket in a way not unlike that in which
the Baltic was rammed a week ago in mid-
Atlantic by the German tank steamship
Standard. In this instance, however, the
damage was done by the big six-masted
schooner Addie M. Lawrence, bound in
ballast for Philadelphia from Boston.
Captain Dalldcrf of the H&spe.ru? says
he iras steaming slowly In a dense fog
about fifty-five miles east of Nantucket
Lightship at 5:45 a. m. on Saturday He
had heard no sound that morning, he said.
until about that hour, when suddenly the
hoarse blast of a foghorn burst upon him.
He stopped his engine;
' Within two minutes," said Captain
Dalldorf. "the big six-master, under full
sail, came upon us out of the fog and hit
us a hard blow on the starboard bow. Her
bowsprit raked our forecastle and was
caught by the foremast, which was broken
in two places, about ten feet above the
deck and again about thirty feet higher.
The schooner fell away, and we thought
that was the last we would hear -from her.
but within a minute on she came again.
hitting us practically in the same place,
breaking the .ironwork . and. whatever- fit-,
tings were intact after the first blow. Her
bowsprit, smashed to splinters, was strewn
about the deck forward, and as she fell
away aft the stub of her broken bow
ripped off about twenty feet of our star
board rail. The damage to the Hesp.eru?
looked serious for a while, but an exami
nation showed that we could easily make
port.
"I shouted tc the captain of the Bailing
vessel, asking if he needed assistance, but
the six-master drifted away, and that was
the last I heard from her. She was in bal
last and sailing light and I don't believe
she was seriously damaged."
The Hesperus will have to remain in
port until she get? a new foremast the
is- a tank steamship and has. her engines
and funnel well aft. The Addie M Law
rence is. one of the largest schooners in
the coal trade She carries coal from
Philadelphia to Boston, and is cf about
2,100 tons.

Whenever he calls out 'I>ona!d. where are

The jays are handsome birds, somewhat

Billy was presented to the aviary a few

Once again the pleading voice of ths
dying man was borne to his friends over
the marshland
"My God' boys, it's up to my neck
now, Every struggle sends me deeper.
I guess this is the end— goodby. fellows."
The last words came faintly from the
dark recesses of the marsh grasses; then
followed a brief space of silence; then
the sound of bubbles and a low splash
in the -water. Elbrecht must have been
drawn under by the relentless sands at
that moment, for. though Beng-er and the
others waited with straining ears, to
catch another word, only the noise of
wind and tide broke the silence

been freed from the death trap by the
outgoing tide.
