The San Francisco County grand
jury has been probing into the myster-
les of the Texas Tommy dance. There
has been a world of news in the San
Francisco dailies and weeklies too, for
that matter. about the far-famed Texas
Tommy dance and now the grand
jurors want 10 know all about it.
They spent a whole evening one
night last week visiting the various
dance halls where the Texas Tommy
was put on for their especial benefit
/ Whether they purchased drinks as
other visitors are expected to do, has
not been explained, but they certainly
saw all there was to see of this par
, ticular dance.
The Texas Tommy was originated
on the Barbary Coast in San Francisco
and contrary to most opinion, is not a
distasteful dance. In fact, the figures
are rather well worth watching. The
best proof of this is that the dance
has been copied as one of the vaude.
Vile numbere of the Follies of 1911 in
New York and sooner or later will be
brought to the Coast. where we will
be better able to criticise the adapta-
ton.
Not many of the ordinary mortals
can dance the Texas Tommy and in
most of the entertainment halls, en-
tertainers are hired who put it on
several times during the evening just
by way of amusing the spectators.
Roph Has Ample Support.
Mayor-elect Rolph can have no ex-
cuses to make in case his administra-
ton should fall short. He asked the
people to elect a Board of Supervisors
that would be in hearty accord with
the principles for which he stands, and
they have done that. Just one Union
Gallagher, and there are something
like sixteen openly avowed Rolph
Supervisors, who have promised to
back him up in everything that he
wants. Ed Nolan, one of the Super
visors-elect, is union man, but he has
not stood for Mccarthy, and it is ex-
pected that he will fall in line with
the balance of the Rolph people.
On the other offices there was a
split District Attorney Charles NJ.
Fickert, who has received the union
labor nominations, was reelected by a
small majority over his opponent,
Hathorn. The latter, by the way, was
a particularly weak candidate, or he
would have beaten Fickert, who has
shown no great amount of strength.
Eggers, the Municipal League candi-
date for Sheriff, defeated Tom Finn,
the union labor man. Finn was strong
in certain circles, and had the in
dorsement of Governor Johnson, but
that was not enough to pull him
through. DR.. Leland was elected
Coroner as a member of the Rolph
party however, and that together with
his good record, helped him out.
The men who were elected last week
will assume their various offices the
first of the year when there ought to
be something stirring.
