DANCING MASTER SUED
Baltimore Woman Claims $50, 900 for
Alleged Breach Of Promise De-
iendant Teaches Dancing at
Naval Academy.

Prot. Horace 81. Bell. instructor Of
dancing at the Naval Academy. was
Yesterday made defendant il q suit
for $50, 900 damages for alleged
breach Of promise. The salt was
brought in the Superior Court Of Bal
timore By Miss Ada hediey, through
Attorney Charles F. Harley.
Professor Bell also conducts a
dancing class at the Lyceum Psrlors,
Baltimore. The declaration filed By
Miss Hedley is very formal. 1t
states merely that Miss Hedley, at
the instance Of Professor Bell, prom
ised TO marry him. She stated that,
confiding in the promise and under
standing. she had remained unmar-
ried. ana had been willing 70 marry
Professor Bell up to the time of mis-
marriage.
The records of the Court of Com
mon Pleas show that Horace Nj. Bell.
who gave his age at 80 years, was
married June 2s, 1911, TO Mrs. Anna
A. Mathaney, widow. Miss Hedley
preferred not to discuss the suit when
she was seen at her home at l02e
West Franklin street, Baltimore, last
night.
"No, have absolutely nothing to
say about my suit. | am going to let
Horace do the talking, she said.
"My turn may come later.
1t was learned that Miss HedIey
first met Professor Bell ten years
ago, whom she became a member Of
his dancing class. At Miss Hedley's
home it was stated that Professor
Bell proposed to his fair pupil four
years ago, and that their engagement
was formally announced. Professor
Bell is said to have asked Miss Hedley
to agree to a long engagement, and
the latter consented. She received
a great shock a few weeks ago wnen
a mutual friend informed her that
Professor Bell had been married since
January of last year.
1t was then that Miss Hedley be-
gan consulting counsel, whom she
finally engaged 10 bring suit against
the eancing master. Miss Hedley
is an orphan and is about twenty
seven years old. Professor Bell.
when seen at his home last night,
said
"The notification that Miss He'd
ley had sued me for breach of promise
came to me like thunderbolt from
a clear sky. 1t was as big a surprise
to me as it was to the public in gen
eral. | made no secret of my mar
riage in January. 1911, and never
had any affairs of the heart with
Miss Hadley. The last time ] saw
Miss Hedley was in the fall of 1908
and | had not seen her for two years.
Ten years ago she was member OF
my dancing class and owing to the
pains she took in her work, | gave
her just little more attention than
the others.
''This whole thing is frameup, and
/ ask the Baltimore public to with
hold its censure until the case comes
up in court. | wish to take this op-
portun,ty to emrhatically deny having
written letters of any kind 10 Miss
Hedley. / see that Miss Hedley
claims to have received letters from
me. Why ! am absolutely certain
that l never even mailed her d postal
card. T"

A BILL OF VARIETY.
PIeases Large Audience at Colonial
Theatre -Tonight's Attraction.

The new vaude vile bill was be-
yond expectation, and was thorough
ly enjoyed by an enthusiastic audi
ence who say it is by far one of the
best balanced bills seen here in many
a day. 1t is a bill of variety.
First there are stories in sand and
song by Keith and Herman, two very
clever young men. All during the
act you see a pretty and graceful
young lady in a stunning costume
draw or paint FIVE large pictures
with colored sand, while the young
man sings several of the late song
hits, but the big surprise comes. when
at the finale of their act the young
lady removes her wig and the audi
ence realizes that she is really a man.
The impersonation is good and he
makes a stunning LADY, The work of
both is very clever and received much
applause. After they play at Ha-
oerstown, they will appear on the
Orpheum Big Time.
Next, Fred Elmore, who bills him
self as the man Of mystery, enter
tains for fully fifteen minutes. His
slight Of hand tricks are coed. but
his lire Of talk is better. He car
talk more in hfteen minutes and
say nothing than anyone you ever

undergone no change their name is
now definitely gitanos, or gypsies.
Between fifty and sixty thousand is
the number of them now in Spain.
Most of them have no fixed abode, but
In some parts, and notably in Anda-

called. where these wanderers have
taken possession of caves in the noun

they are, they are inclined to be quar-

force their arguments by means of
wicked looking knives, which they
