A BIG CRAFT
KEEPS DANCE
HALLS OPEN
John considlne Might Speak Out In
Meeting. ard Jar Things

Meeting, and Jar Things
Dance halls are running full blast
again throughout both the old and
the new tcnderloln districts. The
dives were allowed to open again
last night by permission OF chler
Sullivan, who "A few days ago closed
them. The police say that the dance
hall men were jangiinR among
themselves and that the shutdown
WAS for the purpose of forcing them
10 settle their quarrels.
Another story is In circulation In
the tenderloin, however. The dance
hail men, who conduct resorts above
the new jackson street dead line.
say that the shutdown was the re-
suit OF an attempt on the part OF
Chief Of Police sullivan 10 force
them below that imaginary boun-
dairy at the instigation OF the dance
hall men already south of the line.
The chief. they say, fret ordered
the keepers of the resorts In the old
tenderloin 60 either close IN or 20
move south Of the new line. This
WAS equivalent TO an order to close
pure and simple. since there are no
locations for dance halls now avail
able below jackson street.
Saw His Mistake
As n consequence the resort-keep-
ers above Jackson street protested
vehementiy. chief Sullivan saw
that he had made a mistake and in
order 20 prevent II from appearing
that he had been forced TO take
water. he made his order stiil more
sweeping and compelled the dance
halls below the new line to close
also, giving out that the resorts
would not he allowed 90 run any
where until all had been removed
from above jackson street
This arrangement might have last
ed had there not been another factor
IA the case, the dance hall men say.
This was the fact that the proprie-
tors OF all the larger dance halls
had long been paying over TO a cer-
tain Individual prominent In Mayor
Humos' political machine, 500 a
month each for permission to run.
THIS WAS entirely outside the regu-
lar 81 900 enncert hall license. 1t
was personal graft and nothing
more.

about, when he took from his pocket
IN odd-looking trinket and handed it to

Warm Welcome For Wrong Man

Here is a story which the late Con.
gressman Amos j. Cummings was fond
If telling: A member of Congress was
yoing home late one night when he met
young man who was satisfactorily
loaded" The Congressman hap.
pened to know where the young man
lived, and kindly guided him home.
The Congressman had no sooner pulled
he bell than the door was thrown wide
open and tall, husky woman ap-
peared. She never said a word, but
grabbed the young man by the collar
md shook him till she fairly loosened
his teeth; then into the hall she took
him and slammed the door.
The Congressman was descending the
steps when the door was thrown open
second time, and his friend flew out
Of it as if thrown by a catapult. At
the foot of the stairs he landed, and
the Congressman picked him up Very
much frightened and considerably so.

storm That Helped science.

European scientific journals remark
that the great storm of red dust that
swept up from Africa over Europe last
March performed service for which
men of science should be grateful, by
eolorlng the glaciers of the Alps on a
grand scale, and thus producing a
stratum in the vast ice streams the red
hue of which will render it recogniz-
able for many years.
The importance Of this consists In
the fact that by noting the position of
the dust-stained layer the movements
Of the glaciers can be studied more
accurately than would be possible
without the aid Of so extensive and dis.
tlnct marking.

1t is indicative of the vaclllating habits
Of mankind.
"Betake yourself to a certain office
and study the flight Of stairs thai

"You will at first notice that tine
steps are made Of limestone That II

marks are what l would first draw
your attention to.
"At first there is impressed upon
your retina nothing but series of
scratches. That is because you mere,
ly observe, you do not notice.
"But study little longer and you
will discover that on the top steps
these scratches, which are indubitably
heel marks, extend all the way across.
On the steps below they extend nearly
the full width. On the third steps the
marks, which begin at the right hand
going down, reach to only about the
middle.
From there on, these apparently
meaningless, but really significant,
scratches, gradually grow fewer with
each descending step, until at the bot
tom Of the fight they occupy only the
width on the step which mans two
feet would take up.
Cant you draw any possible deduc-
ton from the way in which these
scratches recede?

that a man scrapes his boot heel on

"The conclusion I am arriving at is
this; The average man when he starts
down stairs shuffles all over from
side to side. AS he goes on he grad.
lally turns to the right, either because
he sees some one coming up, for whom
he must make way. or because his nat.
