NEW YORK, March 14—Two of twelve Broadway plays under fire as objectionable were exonerated yester- day by citizen play juries under a system which District’ Attorney Ban- ton approved to avert a formal cen- sorship of the theater A third production was_ tentatively cleared pending changed acting of one scene, which the producer agreed to make last night. The two plays cleared outright were “Desire Under the Elms,” the Bugene O'Neill drama Mr. Banton himselt deemed too_improper for even revi- sion, and “They Knew What They Wanted,” a theater guild production. “The Firebrand” of Edwin Justice Maeyer, based on the life of Ben- venuto Cellini, offended in one scene. A play jury attended each perform- ance in secret, the members unknown to one another, and yesterday at poilce headquarters voted on two questions —whether the plays should be sup- pressed or corrected The jurors had been groups of 12 by Police Commissioner Enright from a venire of 130 promi- nent names. At the roll call, however, one jury was found two members short, but under the rules of the play jury system nine votes were sufficient for decision, and the decision of the remaining 10 jurors, unanimous, as were both the other juries, was ac- cepted. drawn in MOUNJIN CLWIBER DIES.

SCHURMAN MOVE T0 BERLIN IS DELAYED Situation in China Held to Require That He Remain at Post in Peking. President Coolidge still is consider- ing the transfer of Minister Jacob Gould Schurman, now at Peking, to the post of American ambassador at Berlin, but is not vet entirely con- vinced that such a transfer would be advisable. The Peking assignment is regarded as particularly important just now because of the uncertain state of Chi- nese affairs, and Mr. Schurman is re- garded here as eminently qualified for the place he now occupies. Before he is sent elsewhere, the President wants to make certain that a man thoroughly conversant with the Chi- nese situation can be found to succeed him. Consequently, a final decision as to the Berlin post is being delayed, and several names still are before the | President. Several other vacancies also are in_ prospect, including the ambassadorship at Buenos Aires, and the Washington Government has com- municated to varlous capitals the names of men it expects to appoint, but there has been some delay in the receipt of replies. If the Senate adjourns within a few days, it probably will be necessary to give these diplomats recess appoint- ments, which will mean that the; must serve without pay until confirm- ed next session.

By the aid of seaplane and a| motion picture camera Capt. }\ankl Hurley was able to invade and make | the first photographic record of the | strange rites of New Guinea head| hunters. performed in their myste- rious “long houses,” amid racks of | gruesome skulls. Capt: Hurley's pictures were shown before the members of the National | Geographic Society at the New Ma- | sonic Temple last evening and ex plained by M. P. Greenwood Adams. Mr. Adams, an Australian, said tha while the Papuan natives are savage | in their practices, they are highly skilled and intelligent, so that in sev- eral decades more they probably will' be working on copra and rubber plan- tations. From the moment the expedition approached New Guinea dangers and strange happenings confronted them. The shores are so thickly grown that trouble is had to find a landing place, | and when one is found crocodiles are | apt to be lying in wait for intruders. The streams of the island are ver- itable alsles among thickets of jungle, darkened by the overhanging trees. and these trees frequently are over- | grown with the scarlet D'Albertis creeper. Many of the native villages are built out over the water, for pro- tection, and from one to another run “boardwalks,” which give the shore | NEW POSTAGE STAMP AVAILABLE TUESDAY One-and-a-Half-Cent Denomina- tion to Meet Increased Rates Bear Harding Portrait in Sepia.

The same situation applies to the 1-cent stamped envelope. It is a physical impossibility, the Post- master General sald, to issue a suffi- cient number of 13%-cent stamped en- velopes before April 15 to supply the demand.

The Papuans are very musical, though their only inetrument is a drum, and the rhythm of their dancing to these drums s remarkable. Their paddling of their long canoes is another exhibition of the poetry of motion. The curse of these tribesmen, Mr. Adams said, is their implicit belief in their medicine men and their sorcerers. Their head hunting is not so much the esult of savagery at the present time as of their tradition that the more victims they kill in this world the more laves they will have in the next. The pictures showed rows of human skulls of relatives of the natives, and these, in reverence, had been highly decorated. The most amazing headdress, built more, and So cumber- has to be supported by heads, is used in tribal ceremonies. Ordinarily the decorations eftain consist of bird of para- dise feathers, mother-of-pearl shelle and dog_teeth The islanders’ belief that their visitors were white gods not only helped insure their safety, but provided them with their food supply. Each night the islanders would place a pig on the bow of the seaplane, which they called the “flying demon,” and the visitors had to remove this pig by stealth and eat it to keep up thelr prestige for divinity. $15,000 IS NEEDED IN BOY SCOUT DRIVE Campaign to Be Con:inned Until $60,000 for Two Years in Raised. some that it The Boy Scout drive to raise $60,- 000, a two-vear budget, will be con- tinued until the sum has reached.

A resolution to convene the Senate as a court of impeachment to take up again the Ferguson conviction of 1917 appeared unexpectedly. It was referred to committee by viva voce vote. It provided the Senate should again become an impeachment court “for the purpose of considering, modify- ing, changing or setting- aside the judgment of impeachment” against Ferguson, “as in its Jjudgment it may have the right to make.” Mrs. Férguson delayed signing the amnesty bill yesterday because the measure did not reach her office until late. day, her secretary said.
