THURSDAY EVENING. NOV. 90 1908,

AN unexpected but Logical outcome
of the prevalence of the famous sheath
gown was disclosed at meeting OF the
Partisan Academy of OhOreograPhy,
presided over by NJ. Leforf, dancing
master, at whicbt be assembled professors
of the dance, some fifty in number, de-
clsred tba, women's knees are now 30
hampere1 by the sheath skirt that the
long, gliding steps ofthe waltz. especially
that known as the Boston, are no longer
possible. Experiments we're made by a
score of sheath gowned women in the
presence of the assembled experts. A
mttroDome was used for timing the diff
ferent steps. These experiments were
witnessed by several OF the principal
dancers of the opera and Of the Opera
Comique. The result Wastbat the Paris
Ian areopsgus of dancing masters de-
creed that 10 the coming season the steps
sbal be reduced in length and swing
and be executed more slowly, 80 that the
same tempo can be re aimed by the music
The lorna resolution Of this congress Of
dancing masters is worded IS follows
Whereas, in every age and In all
ol;roas dancing stems we're always invented
to suit style of costume, and whereas,
hitherto we have executed dances with
long, gliding steps, therefore, we decree
that this year these same dances be ex'
ecuted with more than minciDg steps, to
suit the new fashion OF cliDging gowns.
Now that this momeDtous question has
been settled, On with the dance; lei
10Y be uncon6ned.

The setback given to socialism at the
recent presidential election shows
plainly that that organization is not ap-
pealipg to the people of the United
States as ils propsgatOrs bai hoped it
would. 1t is an exotic which has, so far,
failed to grow from slips or roots. The
reason is apparent. The "exponents'
who are trsmping through the country
and mounting dry goods boxes in order
10 make themselves seen and heard are
devoid of logic and manifest ignorance
of true political economy. There is but
little 10 their deductions to enlist the
attention OF their hearers. Politics,
like religion, hiss many champions.
The world abonnds with people who
haven't the ssgacity to conduct their
own business successfully who mount
stumps and undertake to tell how gov.
ernments should be ran. The same may
be .aid in regard to theology. The
most radical and illiterate are the most
wide-monthed. The cause OF all this Is
apparent. 1t requires neither capital,
genius or intelligence for a man to start
out on apolitioal or religious craze, and
most people, certainly those OF the
thinking class, soon weigh them In the
balance when they are fonnd to be
wanting in all that make up leaders in
thought.

DRIVEN OUT BY FIRE
Occupants Of Bridgeport Hotel
Fled RastiIy - Peter Pan
Actors We're There.

Bridgeport, Feb SIN the cold
atmosphere just before dawn the
guests at Hotel Gaillard, in State
street, were forced to leave their
beds to let the firemen fight fire
which starting in a bath room on
the first floor and spreading to the
roof on the west side, filling the
structure with smoke and gave evil
dence of threatening blaze. The
firemen, however, handled the fire
so well that the total loss is placed
at about $1,000. The guests, fifty
or more in number, including about
twenty-five members Of the Peter
Pan" company, in raiment hastily
put on, took refuge in the police sta
tion two blocks away or else in the
nearby residences, the occupants of
which quickly opened their doors to
the unfortunates. Two hours later
the fire was sotu and most Of the
guests were able TO go back. A back
draft caught Captain Hammil and
Fireman William Casey of the auto
chemical company and both were Sc
verely burned.
II is not known how the fire caught
but one theory was that gas jet
left lighted was the responsible
agent. The ohtel is a four story
brick structure.

MORSE'S RETURN
The New Yorker Took Passage
This Afternoon For New
York
CHANGED HIS PLANS

Liverpool, Feb Sc. w. Morse
of New York will leave here this af-
ternoon for New York on the steam
er Etruria. This complete change
in Mr. Morse's plans was caused by
the receipt of cablegram from New
York. Mr. Morse arrived here this
morning on the Campania. The
message changing his plans was re-
ceived at Queenstown or by wire-
less between Queenstown and Liver
pool, for when he landed here to-
day he informed a correspondent OF
the Associated Press that he was
going to return this afternoon in
stead of proceeding to the continent.
Mr. Morse was the last of the sa-
loon passengers to step ashore from
the Campania. His face bore dis
tinct traces of worry when he finally
appeared at the gangway, down
which he hurried. 1t was evident
that he was anxious to escape inter-
viewers and he fastened in the di-
rection of the baggage room. Inter-
rogated regarding his future move
ments, Mr. Morse showed decided
disinclination to talk of his affairs
or plans. He did say, however, that
he had received a cablegram from
New York which had decided him to
return home Immediately on board
the Etruria. He had planned to pro-
ceed to the continent to look after
certain business matters which de-
manded his. attention, but the ur-
gency of the cable adyices from the
otehr side had caused reversal Of
his plans.
Mr. Morse declined to discuss in
any way the status of his financial
affairs or his prospects of getting out
of his reported difficulties.

CAUSE OF DELAY
japanese Emigration Question
Reld Up 10 Adjust Statistic
Differences.

Toxic, Feb S.-The delayin reach
ing final settlement Of the emigra-
ton question between Japan and the
United States is due to differences be-
tween the governments concerning sta
tistics and minor details, the Japan
ese government in it's memorandum of
Deceber 81, maintaining the incor-
rectness of the figures presented by
Ambassador O'Brien, which showed an
extraordinary number Of Japanese en-
tering America since March, replied to
the American memorandum with the
Japanese figures showing a wide diff
ference.
The American memorandum Of Jam
uary %, couched in the friendliest
terms, said that it appeared impos-
sible to recOncilef the discrepancy in
figures and suggested the possibility
of frauds. The japanese government,
determined to discover. the exact
cause of the discrepancy, engaged last
week in comprehensive investiga-
ton to unearth possible frauds and it
is conceded that some cases have been
discovered, but these are insufficient
to explain the disaprity. Il
This investigation has caused ten
days delay in the negotiations. The
foreign Office has pointed out to the
Associated Press, however, that while
lit doubtless would be gratifying to be
able to write finis to the vexatious
problem, it believes it best to clear up
the statistics. In the meanwhile, no
passports will be issued to laborers.
The fact that emigration is COM
pletely stopped removes an element of
danger. The foreign Office is confident
of satisfactory outcome of the
question. <, s=f- e

KELSEY HELD 1T BACK
Was Ordered 10 File Complaint
Against Chaiiield - This
Afternoons Hearing.

At the Chatfield hearing this af-
ternoon Attorney Guilfoile, counsel
for the city made Mr. Chatfield make
some very damaging admissions. p.
J. Mcnamara of the Brooklyn In
provement society had testified in the
forenoon that on West Porter street
are two brick buildings with frame
building between them and within
prohibitory distance, to wit, two and
a half feet. Mr. Chatfield admitted
that he did not discover the ordin-
ances prohibiting buildings to be
built SO near each other until the
brick building was built up to the
first story, which time he considered
too late to do anything about it. The
exterior of the frame building was
covered with tin which was painted
to represent brick walls. s.. ~
The Brooklyn Improvement society
empowered Benjamin R. Kelsey to file
a complaint against the building in
spector, but it was found that no
complaint was ever made.
Another admission which Mr. Gull
foile made Mr. Chatfield make was
that he has not kept record of his
inspections of buildings during the
past two years. Mr. Chatfield said he
knew this was contrary to the ordin-
ance yet he just threw aside his pen
and paper and let the records go
Therefore for the past two years
there is no record of Mr. Chatfield
having done the work he is paid for
so far as inspecting buildings is con-
cerned.
Ernest H. Meakin, mason, testi-
fed he worked on the Costello build
ing four days and then left as he
considered the job unsafe. He and 3
man named Ford werethe only Eng
lish speaking men on the job. He
demonstrated with Costello for using
wet brick and poor mortar and Cos
tello said it was all right. He stated
there was no cement in the mortar,
Notwithstanding that Mr. Chatfield
said there was. Another thing, he
said he never saw Mr. Chatfield in
spect the job while he was there and
he never saw Costello make any eff
fort to either thaw out or dry the wet
and frozen bricks. He gave the walls
what he called the stomach" test
That is, he pressed his stomach
against the walls holding his hands
above his head and he forced out the
bricks. The mortar would not "set'
because it was deficient, and the
whole was a poor job to make the
best of 1t. h. So
