GIRLS LEGS PARALYZED
BY EXCESSIVE DANCING
After WhirIIng Around Floor for Over
Three Hours She Becomes I'm
able to Move-Spine
Is Injured

NEW YORK, April with the
lower part of her body paralyzed from
excessive dancing. Miss Mary Osler, 26
years old, of 1927 Bushwick avenue,
Williamsburg, was carried to the East
ern District hospital from a hall at
North Eighth street and briggs ave-
nue..
She attended an entertainment, fol-
lowed by dance, and for three hours
she whirled around the floor. When the
band struck up another waltz Miss Os-
Ter tried to rise from her seat. She
was unable to move and became hys-
terical.
A call for an ambulance was sent to
the Eastern District hospital and when
DR.. Oginz, the surgeon, examined the
young woman he found her legs were
paralyzed. Her condition caused a lot
of excitement in the hall. Several girls
tainted and were treated by the ambu-
lance surgeon.
The hospital physicians were puzzled
over the young woman's condition. An
examination convinced them that it
was brought on through an injury to
her spine due to excessive dancing. She
is in such a nervous state the doctors
fear she may not recover.

TURNING PROBE ON
FIRE ALARM COSTS
SECRET INQUIRY BY COUNCIL
is OPENED
Auditor Mushet Details Deputies to
Hear Testimony, with Stenog-
rapher Present, and VIII
Go Into Records

Secret inquiry was begun yesterday
in the auditors private office in the
pigeon loft" of the city hall with ref
erence to expenditures for the Came
well fire alarm telegraph service.
Auditor Mushet has, held up over
$4,000 worth of demands OF the Came
well company and suit will probably
be filed against the city. This is why
the closed doors rule was made.
The day was taken up with state
trent by the auditor and the submits
sion of reports and history of trans
actions covering several years of the
fire department and the fire alarm tele-
graph.
Auditor Mushet has delegated H
Ivor Thomas of his office to have
charge of the inquiry, and as a stem
ographer takes all testimony the audi
tor will be able to review the testimony
at the conclusion of the hearing and
it will also furnish evidence for the
city's legal department.
Councilmen Wallace, Wren and
Dromgold, nom partisans, compose the
committee and Assistant City Attorney
Lewis r. Works and William j. Pale
thorpe of Auditor Mushet'S secret serv-
ice bureau also attend the hearing.
1t is proposed to hold daily sessions
until the business is concluded.
No specific charge of grating is
made, though hints of carelessness,
personal friendship and undue infiu-
ences are made on the part of city
officials who are under fire.
The latter say that comparison with
catalogues shows that the city really
paid lower prices for Gamewell ap-
paratus than cities in the east pay for
such goods and that there have been
nc oyerchargeS.

Chief of Police Edward Kern an
nounced yesterday through the police
board that he would deem it a favor if
all religious and other bodies who had
permits to hold street meetings on
Broadway, Spring and Main streets
would desist from holding them dur
ing fleet week.
The streets will be so crowded that
sidewalk space will be at premium
that week, and as most of the organi-
cations have ample halls and wide
doorways they can attract the crowds
on this occasion, the chief said, with
out using the streets.
Il mentioned the matter to some of
the officers of these missions and SINH
lar organizations and they gladly
agreed to do as requested" said the
chief
II do not want to be put In the posi-
tion of refusing them permits, but 1

SCHOOL DIRECTORS ASSERT
VINDICTIvENESS Is CAUSE
Welcome Inquiry into Boards Expen-
ditures by City Auditor, as
Ordered by Council on
Monday

School board members say vindic-
tiveness and politics underlie the reso-
luton passed by the city council on
Monday asking the city auditor to in
quire into school expenditures and why
funds are running so low.
Member H. w. Frank of the finance
committee says this is the first board
which attempted to pay for twelve
months service instead Of ten months,
this in response to public clamor.
"A protest now against a loss of two
weeks pay seems in bad taste, indeed"
said Mr.. Frank. I'VE told the council
it would cost us $4,000 more for the
full calendar year to carry out the
salary increase"
Mr.. Frank also explained that thirty
substitutes. not teachers. had been laid
off.
Member Fielding Stilson said every
economy was introduced to carry the
beard through on it's appropriation, but
it was found impossible.
President Joseph Scott said an in
yestigation would be welcomed.
In the meantime Auditor w. G.
Mushet says he is too busy with the
Gamewell fire alarm inquiry and other
business to take up the school board
work. though he may next week.
