nanners In DANCING.

Dancing has been extolled as most
healthful recreation; as a means OF
physical culture it favors the develop
ment of the muscular system and pro.
notes health and cheerfulness. And
dancing is carried on by women whose.
fashion of dress is of such a nature as
to injuriously affect one or the other
organ of the body.
Young girls appear to experience no
fatigue after it. They will not miss a.
single waltz, polka or square dance,
but if the pulse of one of these in;
defatgable devotees is felt after the
iarce is finished it will be found In
The majority of cases that the number
If pusations is far in excess of the.
normal, and from this it may be in
ferred that the condition of the heart
must react prejudicially upon the en-
tire organism. and 1t justifes an ap.
prehension of danger where girls are
delicate

NO INJUNCTION AGAINST HILL CLIMB; COURT OF EQUITY WILL
 NOT ENFORCE CRIMINAL STATUTE
Selectmen of Fairfield Had No Objection to Proposed Hill Climbing Contest and Have No Objection
 Under Conditio ns Established
Judge Ralph Wheeler Finds that Under the Circum stances Disclosed the Court Would Not Be Jus tifed In Interfering With Contest
 Climb to Proceed

Judge Ralph Wheeler gave a decision today refusing to grant an injunction against the proposed automobile climb at Snake Hill to be held on Memorial Day. It is understood that the auto- mobile association of Bridgeport will go on with the contest as planned, ac- cepting all risk of punishment that tomobile law.
 Judge Wheeler declares that it is not the province of a court of equity to enforce by injunction any part of the criminal law.
 He also says that the selectmen of Fairfield do not object to the contest being held under the conditions pre- pared for it. He then denies the in- junction sought by the selectmen, at the instance of Frederick Sturges, the magnate, who contributes large sums to the maintenance of Fairfield roads, and who has been strenuously opposed to the climb taking place.
 The suit of the Selectmen was en- tirely friendly and from First Select man Charles Fox through the list, they are at heart well inclined toward the contest.
 The contention of the automobilists will now be that speed of above 9 miles an hour is not unlawful, pro- vided the road is clear True, the law makes such a speed prima facie evil dence of reckless driving, but the ac- cused may still offer proof to show that in fact such speed was not reck- less.

charge of murder in January and Feb. 1908 and was acquitted. A year later he was placed upon trial on the charge of assault with a deadly weapon, was convicted and was sentenced to serve IS months in the Washington peni- tentiary.
 EX-Marshal Sutherland submitted to the committee a letter written by the counsel for Hasey to the Guggen- helm agent at Seattle. With it he also presented a file of bills amount ing to $1,800 paid to one of the Gug- genheim witnesses at the first .rial of Hasey. Thebills, it is alleged, howed in detail how the money had been spent for the entertainment of jurors and witnesses" in the first trial. That was the trial in which Hasey was acquitted. The letter stated that the man who had expend- ed the money in behalf of Hasey had been of great assistance. The bills had been approved and paid by the Guggerheim agent in Seattle.
 H. J. Douglas, who was auditor for the Guggenheims at Valdez until he left their services a few months ago, is reported to have furnished these papers to Boyce and Sutherland so Douglas testified before the commit tee in secret session.
 Charges were filed against Boyce end Sutherland with the department Of justice last November. It appear ed that there had been fight at Juneau between Editor A. R. O'Brien Of the Record, owned by Hoggatt and F. c. Russell, editor of the rival pa per in which Delegate Wickersham is se i'd to have had an interest. O'Brien was arrested, pleaded guilty and was fined. Boyce then procured the indictment of the clerk of the Federal court, jury commis- sioner and a merchant on the ground that they had attempted to rescue O'Brien from a policeman. At the trial one of the court clerks it was asserted that the trio had urged O'Brien not to resist arrest. The clerk was acquitted and the other two cases dropped.
 Then Hoggatt and Shackleford pre- ferred charges of procuring indict- mentS for malicious resolutions and abuse of power to discredit the rival Republican faction against Boyce and Governor Clark by the Department of Justice for investigation. He re- commended the dismissal of Boyce and Sutherland and his recommends tion was adopted. When their suc- cessors were named, the two men filed a protest and the nominations of their successors are held up by the Senate Judiciary Committee pend ing this investigation.
 Clark, Hoggatt and Shackleford contend that the Hasey case has the two officials. They say if the lat ter had the evidence of jury-fxing before last February they should have given it to the Grand Jury, if they got it subsequently, it could have no bearing on the case.

to the bargair1s It was said that Mrs. Townsend actually had arranged to sell her home here and take up her residence in Europe.
 Miss Townsend asserted herself. It is said that she and young Gerry con that if she would withdraw her ob- jections they would be married at home in the formal fashion of society, but if she would not agree they would marry immediately in simple and ex- peditious fashion. The bridegroom is the son of Eldridge T. Gerry of New York who presented the bride a dia- mond corsage. Among the presents were diamond tiara from Mrs. Reginald Rona1ds of New York; set of gold dessert dishes from Miss Mabel Ger ry: a diamond pin from Mrs. Corne- Illus Vanderbilt and a diamond pen dant from Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr
 The bridal couple will spend their honeymoon at the Gerry country place in Delaware County, N. Y. They go to Europe next fall and upon their return will make their home in New York City.
 The gown Miss Townsend wore at her wedding cost $15,0O0 and made a tremendous sensation in Paris where it was created. It was a superb ex- ample of modern point lace of the very finest workmanship. The entire exterior of the costume was made of point DAlencon, considered the finest in the world. The train fell majeS- tically from the shoulders with peplum. or shawl effect. The understructure of the gown was of white satin yelled in the finest mousseline de soie.
 From the Paris point of view the gown was remarkable for two very unusual features. In the first place, the corsage was cut very low, like those of the royal brides of Europe. In the second place the skirt was cut like the tra-fashionable skirts intended for visiting or dinners.
 The gown was ordered by cable. Only IS hours were consumed in the actual making, the Paris modiste hav- irg Miss Townsend's measurements on flo

 s30,000 a year and the firm paid said salary from May l, 1909 until April 26, 1910 in violation of the rules of the exchange.
 These charges are the result of a case that came before the committee in which it developed that Barrett was employed at salary of $1,5OO a month. Our reply to the charges was a general denial. The governing committee has seen fit to apply the rule governing commissions to this connection and have construed it as a violation of the commission law It is che intention of this firm to con- tlnue business as any evasion of the rules was of a technical nature and not intentional and there has been no splitting of commissions"
 Secretary Ely of the stock ex- change issued a statement declaring that the suspension was for paying a portion of the firms commissions ob- ta1ned from customers to an employe practice the exchange, is trying to break up.

Miss Mathilde Townsend Rejects Duc's Suit Sanctioned by Her
 Millionaire Mother
PREFERRED YOUNG AMERICAN
President Witnesses Her Mar riage to Peter GOelet Gerry
 in Washington Today

Washington, May 2S.-Miss Mathilde Townsend, who renounced the suit of Due D'Alba and became incensed when she learned that her mother had offer ed the Frenchman $250,000 annual in come, was married at noon today in American fashion to Peter Goelet Ger ry, a young American of family and fortune, in the presence of the Presi- dent of the United States, the Vice President and the American cabinet.
 Mrs. Richard Townsend, the million aire mother of the bride, who reluc- tantly became reconciled when she found that she could not change her daughters decision, turned her mag nificent home here into a dream cas- tie of flowers and pricesleSs decora- tions for the occasion.
 Miss Katherine Elkins, whose report ed engagement to the Duke D'Abruz- zi caused International discussion for many months, was the attendant of the bride Robert Livingston Gerry was the best man. The Rev. Roland Cot ton Smith, rector of St. Johns Epis- copal church performed the ceremony.
 The wedding is the continuation of a romance which began with Hove at first sight, when the couple met at a White House ball last January. Then followed the stormy session with Mrs. Townsend. The mother of the bride had set her heart upon entering the nobility of Europe and it had been reported almost as a matter of fact that Miss Townsend was to marry the Due D'Alba. The final break came when the girl found that the noble man had demanded $250, 900 per year as the price of bestowing himself on her and that her mother had agreed

Then Hurls Rolling Pin at Him and Knocks Him Through
 Window Into Courtyard
Especial from United Press,


 New York May 26.-"I think a bur- glar is dead in the courtyard declar- ed Mrs. Dora Geitman to policeman attracted to her apartment on the third floor at 296 Delaney street to- day by cries. ''I caught him in my room, hit him with rolling pin and Rocked him out the window
 The amazed policemen stared at the woman, who is not only young but good looking. Then they went down into the courtyard and found man lying dead there. They identified him as Lewis Glatch, long suspected of being a leader of East Side thieves. They sent the body to the morgue in a patrol wagon and asked Mrs. Geitman for particulars.
 1T woke up about daylight she said, ''and saw man looking over my jewelry which was on the bureau. l Jumped out of bed and threw cus- pidor; at him. It knocked him down but he jumped up and grappled with me. We struggled through the room into the kitchen and I dragged myself away from him and slammed and locked the door which stood open. He ran into the bedroom toward the win dow opening on the fire escape and l snatched the rolling pin and went af- ter him. In front of the window l caught him again and hit him with the rolling pin. He went through the window carrying the glass with him and then I yelled for the police.''
 Glatch had ''sneaks'' on and in his pockets was found jewelry which was later identified as belonging to Miss Bertha Berkenhalse, a boarder in the Geitman house.
 Mrs. Geitman was not arrested.

It is said that the team will move at its work. up and down the hill. In this case 1t will be very difficult to go on with the climb, unless the automobihsts re- sort to extreme measures.

WARNER BROS,
 OPERATIVES
 NOT REDUCED Threat of General Strike Leads to Abandonment of Proposed Wage Slash GIRLS READY TO WALK OUT DeVer H. Warner Says Sit uation Arose from Misun- derstanding During His
 Absence
GIRLS READY TO WALK OUT

Threats of a general strike of the 5000 operatives of the Warner Bros. Corset Co. yesterday led to the abandonment by the company of @ proposed cut in wages throughout their various departments.
 Notice of the cut was given several days before, and there was talk of a strike. There being no general or ganization of the employees, it was thought. by most of the native born operatives that the foreign born help, which is a goodly proportion, would not stand for a strike.
 Yesterday when the cut was to have gone into effect, the talk of a strike spread throughout the many factories and the operatives began to don their coats and hats to walk out.
 Notice was at once sent from the general offices that the present wages would stand. Work was resumed without further interruption. Work in the corset factories at this time of the year is rather dull.
 Dever H. Warner said today that the situation arose from a misunder- standing that came up during his ab- sence. There has been no change in the wages or the work, he said.
