THE TANGO GOES ON TRIAL IN
CLEVELAND COURT
Cleveland, Oct. 16.-The tango is
on trial for it's life. 1t was brought
into court yesterday when the suit
of Asa Anderson, dancing teacher,
asking for an injunction against the
order of Chief of Police Rowe and

here, came up for a hearing.
Incidentally, the court is being en-
tertained with excellent exhibitions
of the tango, which the Judge was
compelled to admit is certainly
graceful" Then the: city came back
in rebuttal with, exhibitions of latest
wiggles in bunny-hugs, grizzly-bear,
etc., all step-sisters of the tango.
The fate of the tango is not yet
decided, but the officials admit that
the county has been tangoed out of
$1,000 worth of labor during the
hearing of the case; as work at, the
courthouse is at standstill.
