Hcrsemtn" in the auditorium, with a
$5000 weekly operating expense.
In attempting to explain why the
dates for the film at the Hellig'were
canceled. -Mr. Stern said he had gone
to New York and urged that the show
ing be deferred until fall and that
the regular motion-picture exhibitors
In the northwest be given the first
opportunity to obtain it.
William P. Lord, attorney for Mr.
Stern, denied statements made on the
previous day that 2S releases offered
to Jensen A. Von Herberg were medi
ocre pictures. He maintained that
they were hlgh-clasa pictures.
Picture Held ladoeemeat.
Attorney Malarkey, appearing for
Jensen A Von Herberg. in his clos
ing statement refuted this statement
by saying that the 28 pictures were
good, bad and Indifferent.
"These people were trying to use
the 'Four Horsemen' as the means of
forcing these good, bad and Indiffer
ent releases off on 'my clients. But
the evidence In this case shows that,
in addition, these producers were us
ing; the contract for the auditorium
at a club to force my clients to take
the picture at an unreasonable price.
The fact that they carried on these
negotiations after tha contract with
the city waa agreed upon and that the
New York officials of the company
did not know that the auditorium
deal was closed September 12 shows
that they did not put any faith into
tht negotlationa with the city."
Application la Dealt.
Commissioner Earbur brought the
hearing to an end when he moved
that tha application for the use of
the auditorium by Messrs. Stern and
Winstock be denied. This motion was

derstood that In future negotiations
for the use of the auditorium must
be on a strict business basis. It was

cash deposit must be made by any-out-of-town
persons desiring to use
the auditorium, and that when a
contract is signed, a surety bond roust
be furnished the city to Insure that
the dates will be covered according
to the contract
Stem and M'taatork Barred.
After the council had taken this
sctlon Attorney J.ord asked if Mr
Stern would be permitted to enter
Into new negotiations for the use of
the auditorium. The council ruled
that neither Mr. Stern nor Mr. Win
stock could rent the building, but
that any responsible person could
negotiate Its use.
Aa the meeting broke up. Mr.
Pangle and Attorney Malarkey, rep
resenting Jensen A Von Herberg, bid
for the picture, and it was expected
that an agreement for showing the
film will be reached by some of Port

Sir James Craig Says Ulster Has
Nothing to Give Away in
Proposed Conference.
BELFAST. Sept. !o. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) There was renewed
firing tonight In Marrowbone. Sinn
Fein district, north of Belfast. A
woman was wounded and troops were
called out to clear the streets.
Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier,
explaining to the-northern parliament
today Ulster's position with regard to
the proposed conference looking to
wards peace in Ireland, maintained
that while It would have been im
politic to refuse to enter a conference
in order to protect the interests of
Ulster, nevertheless Ulster had noth
ing to give away In such a conference.
LONDON, Sept. 20. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Premier Lloyd George
had before him today at Gairloch.
Scotland, the Sinn Fein suggestion
that representatives of the British ca
binet meet Sinn Fein delegates In a
conference untrammelled by condi
tions. The latest note between the
prime minister and Eamonn de Valera,
sent yesterday by the Irish leader to
Mr. Lloyd George, did not, however.
except possibly by Implication, with
draw the offending paragraph of the
Sinn Fein note of September 12. In
which the sovereignty of the Irish
state waa asserted and which led Mr.
Lloyd George to cancel invitation to a
conference.
As viewed here, the latest Irish
note was conciliatory In character
and It seemed to place upon the prime
minister the choice of holding a free
conference, or Insisting that Southern
Ireland formally express its allegiance
to the crown.
