Then, not content with this. the
Mayor ordered out a special squad Of
inspectors from the Bureau OF Licenses
TO sweep down and stop dances in all
restaurants that could not boast Of the
required fifty rooms. On top of all this
came the announcement from the City
Hall that he had sent TO Albany bills
by which he sought not only TO have
all dance halls kept closed between |
a. m. and noon. but also 10 revoke the
statutory exception permitting the
"fifty-room" hotels to have dances

cared his wife had told him AT that time
that the wagon driver had held her i'm his

he killed Darling and fairly shaking with
emotion. Olson trained the weapon upon
one Of the Jurors and stepped slowly for
ward He hcsitatcd moment, then
quickly retrcotcd and pulled the trigger
of the empty weapon. The defence has
contcnded that Darling started toward
Olson aud that the latter fired TO save
himself.
The strain Of eight hours on the stand
with the rigid cross-cNamination TO which
he was subjected had telling effect upon
the defendant and he leaned heavily upon
the arm OF his attorney when leaving the

They are not bathrooms let out for 4 night

night after night a such. They are al
the more dangerous Tor claiming to BE-

All Right for the Skilful.

Now. isn't that nice dancing" he
said, as the girls laid down their ciga-
rettes and set down their cocktail
glasses 10 swing into the mazes of the
tango with the young and old men who
had done likewise. What dances do |
allow? | will allow anything so long
as il is not vulgar or suggestive. 4
year ago some Of them were vulgar be-
cause they were ignorant how TO do It
right. But they have been dancing In
front Of mirrors since then and are
graceful now"
Andres brightest bit Of philosophy,
however. was that which proved the
afternoon tea dances to be really
praiseworthy institution.
ut is a whole lot better for women
10 come here and dance and keep slim
than 10 sit around all afternoon play
ing bridge, eating pastry and getting
fat" he said.

But amid all the Clamor the rcstau-

spirit, and declared they would obey

lice and. in fact, obey almost anything.
