The Mayor said yesterday ho heara that some of the theater proprietors were urging their patrons to write the Mavor and Council protesting atcainst the" eensorship. lie advises such pat ions to save their postage stamps and stationery because he says these peo ple do riot know the circumstances which have Riven rise to the censor ship ordinance, and therefore their protesis would not hnvc much weisrht. Some months aeo." said Mayor Mbee. "the Hoard of Motion Picture r'en-nrship decided that the theaters worn not co-operatins: properly Klim Inations tn whole or in part of films which had objectionable features were or.'cr. d by the censors. but ig nored bv tlio theater people. At that time a meeting was held and the Mayor ays the theater manure decided that tlirv could brins about the same re sult's by ro-operation with the censor ship board members. "An agreement was made thst all pictures should be censored, and the wishes of the censors us to elimination carried out. With the majority of the theater proprietors this promise or agreement hi:s b-en followed strictly, others have not been honest. It is im possible to t at the offenders without making the. others subject to the same conditions. Th-.eforc 1 have chanced the original ordinance to S3 to cover the subject completely." At an Informal meeting of the Coun cil yesterday Mayor Albee presented a copy of the proposed measure to ea.h of the Commissioners and ex plained the provisions. While no ex pression was civen cither for or against the ordinance it is believed it will have sufficient strength to carry. The Mayor explained to the Council tlio trouble the Censorship Hoard has had with some of the theater managers. L I Former MM'la(r of "June hr H'oniJe' Wtin.nl In ntilornla on Korrrr 'buries. K. II.

Dews n up, on Same Charge, Gets 13 Months in Penitentiary. Only a few hours before Claude 31. Dewsnup, a railway postal clerk, re ceived sentence yesterday for the theft of money from the United States mail, the postal inspectors arrested and ob tained a confession" from Archie D. Brown. 609 East Eleventh street, a dis tributing clerk in tho central postof- fice, on a similar charge. Both are young men. Dewsnup being only 23 years old and Brown -5. 'Both were ;aught by decoy letters. Investigations on the case of Brown were begun a short time ago and his arrest was made after the embezzle ment of about $13 from tho registered mail, but his alleged confession indi cates that his activities have extended through two years and that he has taken a total amount of between $oUU and $1000. One of the test letters sent to Brown Sunday night contained $4 and the other $S. At the same time he is said to have taken other letters, two of which he had opened when he was arrested. When he was approached by the in spectors shortly after midnitfht Mon day morning, just aa he was going off shift, ho apparently became suspicious and ran back into the office, where he altcmpted to dispose of the money he had taken from the letters. He was seized, however, before he succeeded in disposing of it all. Officers said he made a run confes sion after his arrest ana saiu inai ne had been "running with a crowd of young men and gambling and spending moey on fast women. The case was take Immediately De- fore the grapd jury and an indictment returned. Brown will probably receive sentence before Judge Bean this morning. Dewsnup. who was sentenced yester day, will receive 13 months on McNeil's Island, the minimum sentence naving been decreed because he is a young man and married. Dewsnup had served on the mail run between Pocatello and Portland. On January 7. 1014. he took a mail sack at Echo and reported that he had missed. Later the sack was re turned with one letter missing. With it was a letter, presumably from a tramp, in which it was declared that the mail had been stolen to avert star vation. The letter was compared and found to be identical with Dewsnup 6 handwriting and his arrest and confes sion followed, after a test letter con- taininc two silver dollars had occu mailed and taken up by him. Another sentence in a postal case yesterday was that of Leon llearn, of Marcola. who will sorve 60 days for having sent obscene matter through the mails. PRE FARMS lil DEMAND IST1NGS ARE REPORTED SHORT IN' R A C I v-TO-L A N I MO V E M B N T. In Campaign of Market Association, Committee Has J50 Tracts, but 350 Application, Main- new listings of land for the benent of the back-to-tlie-land move ment, now being conducted by the Pro ducers' & Consumers' Public Market Association, was reported yesterday oy VnirfnA Brookinfifs. chairman of the committee, in charge of this work. He said tracts now available are still far short of the demand for farms upon which liberal leases are desired, but that, as the movement is becoming un derstood, more tracts are being ottered constantly. Co to date IjO farms or tracts or land have been registered. There are no fewer than 350 applications on hand for an opportunity to get back to the soil. It is the nlan to bung together land owner and renter, to arrange a liberal lease. Families with small resources constantly are coming in and seeking leases without the payment of cash. The purpose is to pay out tne lease on the proceeds of the crop. "I wish that all landowners living in this city who have idle tracts of land nearby in the country would list them with us so they may be put to good use," said Mr. Brookings. A number of landowners who want part of the land cleared up or other improvements effected are arranging to pay their tenants small sums in ad vance on clearing or other work. Vari ous arrangements are being made that are mutually advantageous. "Property-owners snould know tnat we are not trying to get inexperienced people onto the farms. Jiwt ot our applicants are men of families, most of them are out of work and need some sort of employment to turn to for sup port, but all have had farm experience. They are people who have been on the land for from five to ten years and they know how to make a farm pro duce results." Mr. Brookings suggests that land owners write him. stating details and terms, to 7'S Morgan building. BUILDING PLANS ARE MADE Eat Side BusIiicks Moti t Incorpo rate to Erect C"lublioiic.

Whether the city will foot a bill of $7000 for the construction of the Can yon Koad extension of the Tanner Creek sewer outside the city, or will assess the cost to property within the cits', will be decided by the City Coun cil at a special meeting today. The question has been pending ror many months. When the sewer was huilt. the Mount Zion and Sylvan districts were consid ered within the city. Later, the State Supreme Court ruled that the annexa tion of th districts was not lepal. Inasmuch as the city cannot assess property outside of the city for im provements, there is no way of collect In!? the J7000 expended on the Fewer, unless the assessments inside t'le city are increased to make up the amount or it is paid out of the city's general fund. AUSTRALIAN MARKET OPEN Cliancc to Increase American Sales Pointed Out by Commissioner. Xiel Nielsen, Trade Commissioner for Australia, has written from San Fran cisco to the Portland Chamber of Com merce, urging that every effort be em ployed by the Portland merchants and manufacturers to develop a. market in Australia. "The present time seems to me to be singularly opportune," he says, "for an increase of trade between American and Australian ports. Per head of pop ulation Australia buys more goods from oveaaea nations than any other nation on earth, the purchasing- power in this respect being1 $85 per annum, for each individual unit of the population; so it will be readily seen that her trade Is w'l worth trying to pet.
