Prize-Fight Films Prohibited

— On July 19 prize-fight moving pictures became a thing of the past in the United States when the House passed the Senate bill prohibiting the transportation of such moving-picture films between the various States and Territories or from foreign countries. Heavy fines for violation of the proposed law are fixed by the bill. Southern members of Congress were especially interested in the proposed law because of the race feeling stirred up by the exhibition of the Jeffries-Johnson moving pictures in their section of the country.
