Prison Term for Sidna Allen

Not a few people believe that the

Should the jury fail 10 agree over

should a conviction of murder in the

be another term in State prison the
result could well be potent.

AXE SWINGS HARD
ON 'IURkEYTR0T"
Ban Put on Naughty Dance by
Foremost Richmond
Clubs.

"A bas lc Trot du Turk" Good-by
TO that rollicking, maddening, eapu-
waiting dance step. The ban has been
placed upon the turkey trot in kicn-
mond. From the inner sanctum OF
Richmond society's holy of holies has
come the tip that henceforward, here
after and forever the dance that put
the con in Constantinople will not only
be frowned upon. but tabooed.
Last Saturday night the bulletin
board of the Country Club of Virginia
where the devotces of the latest dance
craze have been wont 10 indulge in
their favorite indoor sport. bore this
notice:
The board Of governors of the Coun-
try Club OF Virginia requests that
members Of this club do not dance the
turkey trot and dances OF that char
acter On this floor
Great was the howl that arose to the
heavens from the young members OF
that organization: many were 'he
protests against the delicately worded
mandate of the clubs governors; but
il WAS of no avail. The governors did
not approve Of the dance; chaperons
ard older members of the club thought
the dance was "horrid. nahsty' ano
vulgar. and the rule against the turkey
trot was III. for good. The dancers
carried their protests n little further
and continued to exercise in the tur-
key trot at the club Saturday night
and great IS the wrath of the COVER
nors.
The Monday Says "So.
Word has been quie tly passed around
that something a little more cnerVatlng
than a call down is scheduled TO be

The worst axe blow was dealt the
naughty. naughty dawn Monday night
when the first german of the Monfay
German club was given. and tiic tur-
key trot was conspicuous by ITS alb
sence. While no rule has been issued
by the board OF governors against the
dance, word had somehow slipped
around that any such exhibition would

waited for the other to start something
in defiance Of the unwritteu edict, but
