MUST QUIT FOOTBALL TACTICS
Grotesque Positions To Be ObIit.
Grated From Dancing

New York, Sept. 2.-Foctball tactics
on the ball room floor must stop-no
more yale glides' or Harvard dips
or distorted attempts to tread meas
ure in two-four time when the music
calls for three beats in bar.
Such Is the ultimatum of the Aneri-
can Socitey of Professors of Dancing,
now in session here. War has been de-
clared by the professors on what they
call the invasion of their special field
by college students. The dancing of
the two-step to waltz time and the
grotesque positions as 'umed by the
dancers are evils attributed to the COL
lege fads that vitiated the public taste.
Some of the students" said pro-
fessor from Terra Haute, Ind: invent
a series of Simian contortions and foot
ball tactics and give 1t college name,
and the public thinks it is all right
because the college men do it.
Now, we want to stop this and bring
dancing back to the old style of grace
full carriage that enabled the dancers
to express the beauty of motion to
music.
"A majority of the people now seem
to dance two-step to waltz music.
This is not right. The two-step is cas-
Ter to teach, as it is in common time
and dancing it to waltz music is not
correct movement.
Attention was also drawn to the neg
lect in the large cities of the old square
dance, which are still taught in the
smaller cities.
Delegates are attending the conven-
tion from all the leading cities of the
United States.

Oyster Bay, Sept. 2.-Henry Well

last night while making persistent ef-
forts 10 see President Roosevelt. The
man was armed with a revolver fully
loaded. He was placed in the town
prison. Weilbrenner. who liz the son OF

edty mad.
weilbrenner was taken to Mlnola, L..
I.,ionight and placed IN the custody OF
the county authorities. II appears that
President Roosevelt was aware Of the
trouble as a secret service officer had
been with Weilbrenner last night.
When weIlbrenner returned the third
time with demand that he be permit
ted TO see the president, an officer
seized him and drew him out OF the ve-
hicie over the front wheel The scuffle
attracted the presidents attention. He
appeared at a door overlooking the
driveway from the varanda as Well
brenner was being taken Into the
stables, but returned to the library al
most Immediately.
Wlelbrenner has been practlcing with
his revolver recently. but he would give
no reason for his interest In marksman-
ship and today said ne could not shoot
very well. II is thought that hard
work and trouble over his fathers farm
had something TO do with
Weilbrenner's mind.
The incident has demonstrated COM
pletely In the opinion OF officials here,
the wisdom OF the close and systematic
guard which Is maintained at all times
over the president.

Several years ago her husband died,
leaving her fortune and handsome
home in Williamsburg. Soon she be-

aid multiplied her fortune disappeared.
Her home was lost through the fore

was driven to seek assistance from the
folks she had helped. Most of these
persons are said to have turned her
away and, as she was too old to pro-
cure employment, she committed sui

Is under indictment in connection with

The point is made that the statute of

that briggs did not qualify as member
OF congress until December. 1899. while
the money or check from the cash reg

heads of those who have tried to force
the white population into subjection to

NEGROES IN New YORK HOTELS
A furry was caused in some of the big
New York hotels by four negroe men,
who made q round Of several high-toned
bar rooms and ordered drinks, it is be-
lieved, with the idea they would be re-
fused. and this get foundation for
damage suits. They first appeared in
the Waldorf cafe, and as they seated
themselves at a table, all the while
patrons departed. They ordered a
white waiter to bring them four glasses
of whisky, which the waiter quickly
did, handing them a check for 81 or
rs cents for each drink. The regular
price is 90 cents. They walked through
the corridors to the palm room, where a
number of ladies were enjoying tea. AS
they seated themselves and lighted
cigarettes, all the other patrons lett the
room. They ordered four more whlsk-
les which were brought with 50 check.
After that they left the hotel, falling to
be insulted, but being very offensive to
others. At the Marlborough, when
they threatened to make trouble with
the three bartenders, several southern
patrons of the hotel stepped up to Them
and ordered them out of the place.
The order was SO imperative that there
was little dispute, and they departed
without having any cause for action
against the proprietors Of the hotel.
