charge of being the keeper of a dis
orderly house in managing dances
given by the Inca club, was arrested
again Wednesday night and is charged
with insulting an officer. officer Dun

Sixth avenue. While patroling the
said beat last night, he found Mr.
Dart, Ike Gilberg and some others
standing at the foot of the stairway
He ordered them to disperse-just
why is not explained, as they were
orderly-perhaps just to show his au-
thority. Later the officer and Mr. Dart
got into an argument which resulted
in the arrest of the latter. He will be
summoned to appear before the court
to answer the charge of disorderly con-
duct this afternoon, providing he is
ready for trial, but it is likely that the
hearing will be continued until Fri
day afternoon when he will appear to
answer to the other charge. This ar
rest adds color to the charge that the
men engaged in the thankless task of
trying to improve social conditions are
being prosecuted.
