vent to his Impntlence when Mr. Joyce
sought to introduce a mass of testimony
regnrding rights of vvnv of the company.
This evidence covered seven big volumes.
Mr Clemont said "It Is most Im
portant to llnish this case oh soon ns
possible, it is only fair to the public,
the cnuipnii.v and the city. Cntll this
matter Is settled, the Frnnkford ele
vated lease and the company's financial

"We will huvc a very expensive rcc

nil this evidence into the record. I
fore-ee that the state, the city nnd the

stenographer's bill There should be
some shorter course to clear this mat

OPERATORS ARE DISCUSSED
Iteprescntntlves nf oliurehes, schools
nnd industrial establishments succeeded
today In killing objectionable features
of tho proposed regulation of motion
plcturo shows1' in plttees other than reg
ular theatres nnd mntlon-nlrture houses.
The objections were heard by the
committee on industrial relations of
the State Department of Labor nnd
Industry, vvitn into T. .Mniicry, cnnir
man, presiding nt a meeting in the
Hellevtie-Stratford,
The features eliminated wer tehc pro
posed rules thnt none but educational
films should be shown In churches,
schools nnd Industrial plants; thnt ad
mission fees could not be collected for
such firm showings nnd that such per
formances would be limited to six a
mouth.
Mr Mnllery assured a large number
of men nnd women present to protest
that these proposed rules would gnln
no consideration.
A proiKisal to compel nil motion-plctiirc-npcrntors
to obtain licenses also
met with much opposition. It watt
stated that thw restriction would hnm
per the shovvlnz of films In churches
jinil other places not given over for
entertainment purposes.
Mr. Mnllery Mild the sole thought
back of the proposed licensing rule was
to get rid of the "fool" t)pe of opera
tor who would become pnnlcky in case
of a film break, n flareback or other
ntcldent while films were being pro
jected. I he chairman suzeested It mlcht he
well to entrust the police with the li
censing of nonprofessional operators.
-Louis Xusbauin, associate superintend
ent of schools, moved for the appoint
ment of n committee, representing
schools, qhurches und Industrial plantn,
so the entire proposition could be
studied and recommendations made.
PASSOVER WINE HELD UP
Rabbis Protest to New York Offi
cials In, Vain
New York, April "22. The most
perplexing problem born of the enforce
ment here of the new stntc prohibition
law was presented here, when It de
veloped tlyit the nnti-llquor crusade of
the police ylll scrlousl) Interfere, ac
cording to rabbis, with the oWservante
of the Jewish Pnssover, which begins nt
sundown tonight.
Asserting that the Jews of the city
probably would lje short thousands of
gallons of wine for sacramental pur
poses, n delegation of rabbis appealed
for advice to First Deputy Police Com
missioner John A. -Loach, in charge of
the Honor drive, and to Hubert S. John
stone, of the Bureau of .Appeals. They
teceived little consolation from the offi
cials. Pennsylvania state-prohibition au
thorities will not interfere with the usual
ullotinents of wine to families of the
Jewish faith. This was stated today
by Jay Divel, Pennsjlvnnln director of
prohibition. Lnch family here gets ten
j. moils for sacrninentnl purposes. All
of this is. not used during Pnssover, but
for some strict observers of the fuith it
is employed throughout the ycur.
