VOL. XX. SALEM OREGON", WEDNESDAY, JUIjY C, 1010. No. IBS, MOVING PICTURES OF F GHT BEING PLACED UNDER BAN Mayors, Police Authorities and Chief Executives of Many , Cities and Statejs Prohibit Exhibition of Ficjht Films, and Crusade Is Being Carried on With Vigor All Over the Country Ma'yor Rodgers Sb- cNo Cause for Interference in Salem at Present, But May S0 cit to Co-operate With Movement Later on If Deemed lle ary. May Show in Salem. "There Is nothing hero which r warrants me In taking any action looking to the prohibition of the exhibition of the moving 4 pictures of the Jeffries-Johnson light in the local theatres," Bald Mayor Rodgers this . morning when seen by a representative of Tho Journal as to his attl- tude with regard to the antl- fight picture movement which is sweeping all of the United States "There Is no racial feeling In Salem," tho mayor continued," and I ,sce no reason why the pic- tures should not be exhibited. Of course, If something serious should develop, or It should be necessary to lend co-operation " to tho movement, I would take the necessary action.." Tho local theaters have made arrangements for the pictures of (the fight, and will exhibit them to the public in the near future. The Christian Endeavor Society, with headquarters in Boston, today also wedged into the fight.' Secretary William Shaw wired every governor in the country, in addition to the mayors of many cities urging them to exclude the pictures. He also urged President Taft, former President Roosevelt and Governor Hughes of New York to lend the antl-plcturo movement their Influence. In his telegram to the governors mayors, Secretary Shaw, of the C 'Ian Endeavor says: riots and murders already havO followed the announcement of Johnson's victory. The moving pic tures will create more violence. Will you join In an appeal to the authori ties In the cities and towns to pro hibit the exhibition of the pictures? Help save the young people from de moralizating shows." On the success or tho failure of tho anti-picture movement depends the profit or loss of the American Vltograph Company, owners and con trollers of the countless sets of films that are being prepared for the mo tion picture houses. Recently the company estimated that its receipts would exceed a million dollars but it is now unsafe to predict any figures until the proportions of the antl plcture movement becomes more de fined. Unfess the picture men are able to quickly squelch the opponents of the pictures, it is probable that their profits will be greatly curtailed. Mayor Gaynor, of New York, looks on the pictures tolerantly, and ap parently sees no harmln them. So far as he Is concerned, the pictures can be shown in New York. It Is expected that the mayors of larger ctles of Texas will take steps toward barring the exhibition of mo tion pictures of tho Jeffries-Johnson fight, following the announcement of tho governor's 'attitude. Medford Ore., July 6. Tho leading moving picture theater of Medford has already made arrangements for tho display of the fight films of the Jeffries-Johnson affair at Reno. Thero are less than a dozen negroes In Southern Oregon, and no effort will be made to prohibit the exhibition of the pictures. Portland, Ore., July G. There is little likelihood that an exhibition of moving pictures of the Jeffries-John son fight would be prevented in Port land. Chief of Police Cox expressed the opinion that the exhibition of the pictures would not be stopped. "In fact," said he, "I do not see how such an exhibition could be stop ped, if we wanted to do so." Of va rious business men Interviewed, one declared that agitation against fight pictures was "an indication that a number of well-lritentioned persons were Buffering from an attack of 'moral hysteria.' " San Diego, Cal July 6. No steps have been taken here to prevent the exhibition of the Jeffries-Johnson fight pictures. Superintendent of Police John L. Sehon said today that he knew of no reason why they should not be shown, as others have been. Would Convene Legislature. Austin, Tex., Jjujy. 6. Governor Campbell declared today that he will recommend a special session of the state legislature for the purpose of enacting a law to prohibit the exhi bition of pictures of any prize fight. Chicago, July 6. A movement to prevent the exhibition' of tho Jeffries Johnson fight pictures is sweeping the country today. In many cities of tho Middle West and South the au thorltles have ordered that the pic tures cannot be shown, fearing a re currence of the rioting that followed the victory of tho giant black man over the so-called "hope of tho white race." The movement started when the mayor of Houston, Tex. issued an or nontlnuert ob wg 4.)

AYS HE DID NOT ENDORSE ANDIDACY OF POINDEXTER Roosevelt Denied That Either Ballinger Case or Northwest Poli tics Entered Into Discussion During Conference With Wash ington Representative, But W ise Ones Claim to Have Seen ' Handwriting on the Wall Former President Admits That' He and .Leaders of Insurgents Are in Harmony Upon Con servation Issue. I UNITED mESS IXiSED WIMB. Now York; July C. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt today declared that ho did not discuss the Ballinger controversy when Congressman Miles Polndextor of Washington conferred with him yesterday at Oy ster Bay. Tho "declaration was mado in a formal statement' issued today from Roosevelt's office at tho Out look. "Roosevelt will see many sena tors, congressmen, assemblymen and other public men representing all phases of public opinion," tho stnto ment sayri. "Ho declines to bo re sponsible for any statements except thoso he mnkes himself. "He has 'isald nothing and intends to say nothing regarding any con test for nomination Regarding tho conference with 'Congressman Poln doxtor, I will say I was pleased to find his past record regarding con servation and similar subjects Was In hearty concord with mine. "I diu not express 10 aim any opinions regarding' 'senatorial nomi nations and Polndoxter did not ask for any. I do not believe Polndox tor was responsible for any state ment In the morning papers except as I havo Indicated. We did not dis cuss political questions In regard to tho Northwest and we did npt touch upon tho Ballinger. affair." Washington, July 0. Politicians here have had two distinct shocks In .tho last two days. Tho first came with- tho alleged -Information' that ufprjpp,rt President' , Roosevelt would Bupport Miles Polndextor of Washington for. tho United States senate. .The second came today when Roosevelt .declared that tho first statement was untrue. That there Is much political sig nificance bohlnd tho conference be tween Roosevelt and Polndexter at Oyater Bay yesterday all tho politi cians agree. While Roosovolt's statement precludes tho possibility of his openly espousing tho cause of Polndoxter for tho senate, when the contest for Senator Piles' seat be? gins, It Is nevertheless believed that tho endorsement of Polndexter by tho former chlof executive 'will have great infiuenco, should ho decide to make tho raco for the senate. As a consequence politicians 1 are reviewing Polndexter's record here with considerable interest and 'tho Washington insurgent Is tho subject of conversation generally In political circles. - Polndextor Is one of tho most rad ical of tho insurgont group In tho house. Ho was one of tho nine re publicans who voted to unseat Speaker Cannon after tho memora ble fight against the speaker's rulea committee. Ho was ono of tho prin cipals in tho rules' committee fight and ho has played an important part in all tho Insurgent movements. Coming from Oyster Bay with tho official stamp of "T. R." on his record, whethor the stamp takes the form of endorsement for any specific office or not, it is certain, as the pol iticians hero vlow the case, to have a tremendous Influence when the po litical pot in the Northwest begins to boll. Polndexter's delight yesterday with Roosevelt's approval of his record and the statement which ho issued after leaving Oyster Bny showed that whatever matters wero discussed at tho Sagamore Hill con ference, whether they touched upon the -Ballinger controversy and.thfe- Washington senatorshlp, or whether they wero general, had a .pretty aj rect, significance. Tho Insurgents ;here- todayaro- 'pleased wltlmthof Intorview.Thoy; declaro that it simply ndicates: 'that Ropsevqlt Is behlrfd tho lnsur , gent movo 'and, that ho has not chnnged his mind through nnjr friendship for the president, Roose velt's "OI?" of Polndextor Is taken to signify hero that the former president does not side with Ballin ger. An npprovnl of Folndoxtsr could hardly bo consistent with any approval of Ballinger and his poli cies, to put it In the most mild form possible according to tho politicians.
