MAYOR ASKED TO FORBID WOMEN DENIES RACE TRACK NEWS 15 BARRED Only Publication of Betting 0dds Declared Prohibited by Walsh Measure. ! To the Editor of The Star: The opposition to the Walsh amend- iment to H. R. 6508, which declares lany paper to be non-mailable which | contains “by way of advice or sug-| gestions” the odds at which wagers |or bets have been made or offered |to be made have seriously misinter- preted the bill in several ways: (1) it is wrongly asserted that the bill { | forbids alk racing and sporting news (2) that it makes the Postmaster ieneral the censor of news, and (3) i that it is a blow to the freedom of { the press. i Only Odds Prohibited. {1 I challenge any one to quote any | words in section 5 that would inter- { fere with any newspaper publishing all the news of a race or contest, provided that it did not print the odds “by way of advice or suggestion” in such away as to assist promoted gambling. § It should be noted in considering the section that it is not forbidden to publish the “outcome or result” | of contests, but only the odds upon | | that outcome or result “by way - of advice or su ion” as to how to: bet or how to itle one’'s s, 11 does not make the Post- a censor, because ates district judge in an_restrain or counter- his orders.

The laws already. de- | clare to be non-mailable all news- | papers which contain obscene matter | or which advertise . lotterles or fraudulent schemes But in each case, where matter is rejected by the mails, there is possible an appeal to _the courts. Senatwr Borah's objection that section 5 would give additional bureaucratic power to the Post Office Depagtment can be adequately met by adding the following amendment, which is identical with the Borah amendment to the Sterling sedition bill, S. 1375, which declares non- mailable papers which contain sedi- | tious matter: “Provided further, That any author, publisher or party affected or ag- grieved by the action of the P master tieneral in excluding materials from the’ mails under this section upon filing a bond te cover the i tual cost of such proceeding, be en- | titled to a hearing de novo before | Special Dispatch to The Star. WINCHESTER, Va., January 21— Mayor Glass has been asked to issue an order forbidding women appearing on the streets in male attire. It was reported the request came from an ultra-conservative feminine source, and that it was prompted by the ap- Dearance here this week of a number of young women who appeared in bloomers in broad daylight on their way to athletic games and exercises in a gymnasium. Recent heavy snows made fine coast- ing on the hills about town, and it was noticed that nearly all the girls embracing the opportunity to enjoy the sport had dressed mostly in riding habits such as men wear. Others were id to have. borrowed cvats and trousers from ‘their brothers or some other girl's brother. . With bobbed and dressed in trousers, it was quite difficult for the average passer by to determine who was who. The appearance thus.of girls on the hills 50 was occasion for objection from some quarters, it was sald. Asked what he was going to do bout it, his honor, almost hidden be- hind the Virginia Code and other law books, confessed he didn't ‘know. relating to “wild" turkeys, but no act “wild" women. What, for instance, bout the bloomers worn in athletic BOARD FAVORS TEAMSTERS. POSTON.
