BAR PICTURES OF FIGHT HERE City Council Also Decides to Censor Films to Eliminate Immoral Ones. The Mnishlleld city council laHt evening passed n resolution Instruct ing tho city attorney to drnft nn or dlnnnco for the censorship of pic tures shown In tho moving 'plcturo houses of tho clty.i Tho inattor was brought up by the1 proposal to show tho .lelTrios-JohnBoii light pictures hero and incidentally tho council agreed to prohjblUtho showliig of the Inttor. ' - Tho matter wnH brought up by C. It. Vock who tircsonteu nctltlons signed by Mursnflcld' people protest ing ngnliiBt tho proposed display of tho light pictures. Mr. Peck said that tho petitions had beon;clrculat ctl by'Rov. aULeRriy "Ifnll'r UaV. J. Itlchnrd Olson and Dr. E. MlngiiB. Mr. Peck said that before nppeoiing before the council, they had taken tho mntter up with Manager Ilernoll n r tho Mnsonle Onorn Houso. Aftor henrlng their sldo of It, Mr. Ilernoll Btatcd that ho would bo willing to comply with tho petitions providing they would seo tlrat ho was protected In that no othor showhouso In Mnrshflold would bo pormltted to show them nt somo futuro tlmo. Mr. Bornoll snld thnt It would cost him nbout ?375 to glvo up showing thorn hero but that ho wanted to glvo tho peoplo of Marshfleld tho best kind of entortalnmcnt nnd tho kind they desired. Mnyor Straw wanted to know If Mr. Peck wanted tho council to ro cognlzo and dignify tho JohnBon Joffrlca nffalr by pnsslng a resolution prohibiting tho showing of tho pic tures. Mr. Peck said that while ho was opposed to this specific plcturo, ho thought nil films ought tq bo cen sured as somo of them woro domo rallzlng to public morals. Mayor Straw declared that ho didn't want to honor any nigger by signing nn ordinance or approving a resolution containing tho nlggors nnme. Having been raised In Virgi nia and tho south, Mayor Straw still retaliiB tho strong antl-nogro senti ments of that section. Further, he declared that ho didn't havo any moro rospect for Jeffries than John son and declared tho only way to fight a nigger was to hit him with a coupling pin. Ho declared that per sonally ho would not stultify Himself by going to seo tho pictures. Ho wanted to know If tho petitioners did not deslro a genoral ordlnanco for prohibiting demoralizing and de grading films, declaring that many such had been shown at tho local playhouses tho last six months. Councilman Albrecht snld ho didn't think the Johnson-Jeffries fight pic tures were half as bad In domorallz- tin? n community as wore many pic tures shown In tho local playhouses recently. Councilman Coke wanted to know who should determine whether a picture was good or bad. So 'far, as tho Johnson-Jeffries fight pictures were concerned, he said the 'only thing ho regretted was that Johnson didn't kill Jeffries. He said ho was opposed to prize fights generally. So far as protecting Mr. Bernell against any other moving plcturo houso showing tho fight pictures, Mayor Straw said that ho personally would see that they did not. So finally the general resolution without personally mentioning Johnson-Jeffries to bar demoralizing and degrading films was enacted.
