Contrary to expectations the actual number of persons interested was few and those who entered into the discussion were less than half a dozen. The subject had suggested a general turning out of exhibitors, There were two bills, one for a eensor- ship and the other which would require that theatre films; ordinarily displayel, should have been endorsed by the cen- soring board of Pennsylvania, Maryland or Massachusetts before shown in this state. George .. Fox of New Haven advocat- ed both, but his argument was mainly on the "desirabillty of the latter bill. He suggested that the bill would be stronger it it requived all these state boards' en- dorsement, but he had left the word “or” in the bill instead of “and.*: Mr. Fox claimed that censorship - of films was needed; that while many people say they see nothing objectionable, it was a fact that in some theatres filme are shown that are suggestive in character. and immoral theme.

Kram- er, federal prohbition commissioner. . What he termed as hid “honest views” on prohibition were given by Mr. Kramer in a letter to Semator Cabper, of Kan- sas, and made public today by the latter. Commenting on charges that liquor was being openiy. sold by 393 New York sa- loons, Mr. Kramer detailéd the .prob- lems of the “dry” officers and also sug- gested remedies. s 3 y “In 'view of all these conditions .said circumstances,” said Mr. Kramer, I be- lieve “we have made remarkable pro- gress during the-year or-more in which the national prohibition act has Leen in existence, we still have mmcn work t0-do and will have for years fo co You can’t turn- the ‘currcnt’ of - hist: overnight. Anything that has fasiened itself upon_ political, ccoa and per- sonal history of our:eounirv as has the liquor traffic, cannot be removel in . a day or a year.” Mr. Kramer said that the Volstead law itself was sound. That he was not-ad- vocating any radical revision of the law by congress, and that enforcement prob- lems largely were administrative, Too many permits for medical prepar- ations, containing alcohol were issued originally, Mr. Kramer said. These have been reduced and standards of medi- cating alcoholic preparations raised. Per- mits for manufacturing industrial alco- hol also are being curtalied?and refused to_those' selling illegitimately. _ Summing up, Mr. Kramer said he be- lieved failures of enforcement during the past year were “due to the adminis- tration of the law more than they were to the law itseif.” 5 Among recommendations ‘made by the prohibition director (c tightén up . en- forcement were: Removal of whiskey to a fé4 large and well. guarded warehouses; increase of prohibition agents on the Canadian and Mexican borders and enactment of pro- hibition codes by all .the states. The bulk of the people, Mr. Kramer explained, must favor enforcement be- fore substantial headway can be made and this sentiment, he said,. was largely absent in New York and some other communities.

CHURCH EXHAUSTED HONORS AT FUNERAL OF CARDINAL Nothing Was Umitted in Pomp and Ceremony [hat the Roman Catholic Church Could Bestow on One of its Princes During the Funeral Services for James Cardinal Gibboni—?nhl'e;, Diplomats, Statesmen and High Offi- i cials Were in Attendance at ths Pontifical Requiem Mass —Thousands Stood Qutsids, Unable to Press Into ths Edifice. Baltimore, Mareh 31.—James Cardtaal Gibbons, archbishon of Hal ore. was buried today with all the honors thut the Roman Catholic church couid bestow on one of its princes. Into the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary—the great stone pile about which the cardinal’s whole life revolved—poured preiates of cqual rank, diplomats and . statesmen from Washington. “high officials of the land and state he had served, and mem- bers of his own flock. Outside In the rain were massed bareheaded thousands who, unable to press .into the church, stood reverently for three hours while the pontificial requiem mass was being sung. During the long serviee—as pictureful as a tapestry of the middle ages sudden- Iy become animated—Archbishon John J. Glennon of St. Louis took the pulnit and, looking down on the bier of a fellow churchman, eulogized the late cardinal as “the great leader and soldier, the great legislator. the far-visioned educator, the greal patriot, the kindly. gentie oid man.” The service ended shortly before 1 o'clock, after the cardinal had been ab- solved of all sifis, and the long reces- sional ‘streamed from the cathedral. Then cams dusk. With the fall of evening tender hands lifted the frail little body of the churchman from the great purple catafalque on which it had rested in state for four days and placed it in a simple coffin of cardinal purple. Then the casket was borne to the white marble erypt under sanciuary, in which six other archbishops already were sealed.. A sim- ple ceremony, witnessed only by the closest and dearest—and then the door of the vault swung to. In this manner James Cardinal Gib- bons was laid to rest beneath the- cathe dral in which he, had been baptized, in which he had been consecrated to the ser- vice of God, in_which_he had been named the youngest bishop of his time. and in which in later years he had been elevated to archbishop and cardinal. The last réquiem was a thing of beauty —a symphony of sound and color. The cathedral was half filled when the head of the processional entered doors shortly before 19 o'clock: The daity were seated from the rear of the church forward- to the foot of the candle-lighted bier on which rested the eardinal in his archbishop’s vestments and mitre. The entire forward part of the cathedral was reserved for the clergy. ‘The organ pealed. Into the church filed & double column of seminary cho: ters. Behind them came priests almost without number. There were the wh surpliced secular clergy and then mem- bers of the . various religious orders— Paulists ~and ‘Redemntorists, Sulpicians and Jesuits, Passionists initheir black cassocks, Dominicans.in white, and can- deled Franciscan monks in _ rope-gird robes. Rain, falling as the processign, started, caused a slight change in plans for the procession. Ipstead of marching into the cathedral from Calvert Hall college with the priests .of lesser rank. as had. been intended, the abbots and archabbots, the | bisheps and arehbishore, Carlinals O'Connell and Begin and Archbishop John Bonzuno, apostolic deiegate, filed in from behind the altar after having entered the church from the grchiepiscopal residence it the rear. In the cathedral there filed also meme befs of the faculty of the Catholic utii- versity in Wushington, wearing their caps and gowns. The scholars with their hoods of blue and red, orange and gold. turquoise and green. and the churchmen of high rank in their brilliant ceremonial robes seated themselves with the while- surpliced clergy. It seemed as If to the area behind the altar rail. a moment before a canvas of white, there had been touched a painter's brush. In an instant it became a tableau from the early history of the church. The laity in their twentieth century dress and the clergy in their time-honored attire, eting at the bier of the archbishop of Baltimore, seemed like contrasting een- turies. Archbishop Bonzano. eelebrant of th mass, seated himself on the throne of the late Cardinal Gibbons, to the left of the - altar. Chanting, his assistants advanced to the altar, and from it bore back veat- ments of black, silveg embroidered. Ris- ing, the celebrant, the aid of aeo- Iytes, divested himself of his mourning robe of purple and clad himeelf in the vestments for the mass. Then, wearing his white mitre, he stepped siowly dows from the throne, and followed by asgist. ing priests and acolytes. moved te the ajtar steps. where he kneit. e For nearly an hour the chanting een- tinued. as the archbishop read from a great tome which an aitar bey held open before him. By his side was another boy bearing a candle. At last the celebrant returned to hig throme. In the pulpit to the right of th altar appeared Archbishop Glennom. 1In measured tone that echoed gently im the vast auditorium he eulogized the dead, recounting his services to the chureh and mankind, After the funeral sermon had been completed Archbishop FBonzano stepped slowly from throne to bier. kpeeling at jthe foot. Suddenly there was heard the solemn Gregorian chant previously heard only in Rome at the funeral of a pope hut which by speeial permission of the vatican was sung at today's requiem, For minutes the mourners lost their ‘sense of <ight in their sense of sound. Then came the final absolution. Te the chant of priests and choristers, fiva archbishops. one by one, encircled the ocatafalque twice, the first time easting holy water on the hody of their Yormer leader. the second time. incense. Thes, with priests in white choir clothes suf- rounding the bier..and the,apostolic dele- {gate and his assistants Kneeling at the foot, the audience bent ifs head for the final prayer. . By this time the rain had stopped. The recessional moved down the center. aisle, with the highest church officers in .the rear. and passed out into the churchyard, where _the waiting thousands, blocKing |nearby streets and crowding the roofs of nearby houses. gazed upon the ecclesiag- tical procession. The mass was endeds FAVORS CONSOLIDATION OF COUNTRY'S RAILROADS New York, March 31—Consolidatior of the country’s raiiroads’ into'a Mmite¢ number of larger systems, was advocat- Darriel “Witlard, president of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and Edgar E. Clark; chairman of the interstate com- merce commission, at a dinner of Railway' Busiriess Assoclation here to- night. The work of the railréad war board be fore the railroads were taken over by the government showed the success of that plan under private ownership, Mr. Wil- lard declared. “The new law contemplates, consolida- tion cf the roads into a limited number of larger systems ynder which every reasonable Jegree of cometition of ser- vice will be_ preserved,” sajd Mr., Clark, “I wish it were possible to hope for consummation of that purpose at. an early date Both speakers agreed that criticism of the transportation.act has become too general and too little understanding or cooperation with the act’s aims has been | oftered. Mr. Willard expresseq assurance in the success of private ownership under the act, and-declared the relationsnip between the féderal commission and the ra‘iroads under the act is most encouraging. Referring to wages of railroad men, he 1 am inclined to htink that under the uresent low wages of railway workers as a whole may be somewhat higher in the future than would be the case were therc no such law. but even:wo, If the public is_thereby insured freedom from inter- ruptions of service, the immunity s> pur- chased will be well worth the price.” POSSIBILITY OF EXTENDING THE EXPORTS OF MEATS ‘Washington.

P.) Sutcess or failure for the national eoal miners' strike whch has been ordered to begin at midnight tonight is expected to depend upon the resuits of meetings of the raiiway and transport workers called for_early next week. Those who had been hopeful that the railwaymen and transport workers weuld find a way out of the difficulty recelved little to reassure them in statements is- sued on their behalf after morning eon- ferences. These statements were to the effect that the attitude of the mine own- ers and of the government was regarded by the railwaymen and transport workers as a preiude to a genera] attempt to re- duce wages and to get back to. the old days of district. instead of national, me- gotiations in labor disputes. The National Unfon of Railwaymen has, called a conference of delegates for April 6. at which it will be decided Whether the railwaymen will support the miners, The: transport workers also have decided tol call a meetine of the executives of ail, the bodies afiliated with them for April| 5 to take sim! -y PRESIDENT WARDING BROTWS STUDY OF RATLROAD PROBLEMS Washington, March 31. — President| Harding began h! it osis of the rall. road situation today by ongulta-ons, with ‘thetwo government szencies (hat| have kept closest watch over the pules| of the natian's transportation system during the after-war period of readjust-, ment.
