NEW YORK'S GREAT
TURKEY TROT WAR

NEW YORK, April 19.-Not in
decades has New York seethed so
wildly as it is now doing over the
question of dancing Incredible as
it may seem to outsiders, this ques-
ton with a very great number of
people throughout the city, people of
every class, is overshadowing every
thing else Compared to it the in
come tax is a side issue and the
tariff a matter of little importance.
For New York is in the midst of
great turkey trot war. To a very
much lesser degree this has spread
to some other parts of the country.
Here, however, the struggle has as
sumed tremendous proportions,
which it is believed only legislation
at Albany can settle. There are
many who believe that even this
will be inadequate.
The average New Yorker appar-
emily believes that his right to dance
when he pleases, where he pleases,
and particularly how he pleases, is
guaranteed under the constitution, or
if it is not, should be- The Mayors
recent order closing at one o'clock
places at which New York is &C
customed to dance, caused a roar
which could have been, and undoub

few places which got around the
order coined money and soon New
Workers in their Unsuitable desire to
dance caused open violations. AT
ternoon turkey trotting, even Sun
day afternoon trotting fourishes,
and New York is apparently dance
mad. The announcement of the
Mayor that the ban would be put on
certain kinds OF dances evoked fresh
bowls of rage and derision and the
battle waxed only hercer.
Passengers on incoming steam
ships report that the affair is assum-
ing international Importance since
developments are largely followed
abroad. There is no doubt of the
seriousness of the situation, or its
Importance in the eyes of New
Workers, though it is hard for an
outsider to understand such temp
est in a teapot. But apparently to
limit New Workers as to the guam
tity or quality of their dancing is
the one thing they will not stand for
and the turkey trot battle is likely
to go down in history as one of
New Works fiercest.

will also be brought to your atten-
ton in connection with the charge
that it has been violated in this
State. The offense of transporting
women and girls from one state to
another for immoral purposes is
new to the Federal law, but IT is
unquestionably wise law, and the
good effect of its vigorous enforce
ment in various places is already
apparent in preventing many inno-
cent women and girls from surrend-
ering themselves to lives of abject
slavery and in saving them from the
attending degradation and shame.

full consideration to the evidence in

tiously performed and completed. By

PIONEER RETURNS.

Major A. J. Doran after an alb
sence of three months on the coast
and in the southern part of the
State on mining business, returned
Saturday receiving a welcome from
many friends. He speaks of his re-
cent collision with an auto in Los
Angeles as of secondary considera-
ton, after he bumped into the legis-.
lature at Phoenix few days ago,
which so seriously affected his ner-
vous system that a relaxation was
deemed necessary, hence his taking
the first train out to escape the odor
OF that terrific tax-eating combina-
ton "If in the olden days" Major
Doran states, chad the legislatures
of which l was a member for sew
eral terms, initiated such methods
of devouring the financial vitality

would never have been recalled. We
would have been taken to the banks
of the Salt River and with weights
on our necks thrown into the stream
