Chicago, Nov. 17.-Police women un-
der the direction of Major M. l.. c..
Funkhouser, second deputy police su-
perintendent are conducting quiet in
yestigation of Chicago's alleged dance
hall evils, it became known today. The

dances at tonight's meeting of the
council.
Alderman Pretzel announced that he
is preparing an ordinance to limit the
Tango dance. The proposed ordinance
will provide for the elimination of the
"dip" and that dancers keep at least
four inches apart. The alderman says
that no woman can do the dip" in
the present styles of tight skirts with
any degree of modesty.

WARMING Of FLOOD
MAY SAVE LIVES
PITTSBURGH AND MANY OTHER
PENNsYLvANIA TOWNS FACE
GRAVE SITUATION.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Nov. II. Factories,
mills and business houses along the
rivers escaped damage from the sud-
den rise in the Allegheny river last
Friday, and are prepared to combat
the flood in the Monongahela which
Is due to reach its height here today.
A stage of twenty-four feet at the
point" is predicted. Heavy snow fall
in the mountainous section Of West
Virginia followed by an unusually
heavy rainfall has caused the greatest
flood in twenty-five years on the upper
Monongahela. Weston and Grafton, w.
Va, report streets inundated. Rail-
road tracks and business streets in
Fayette, Pa, are under water.
Flatboats were used at Weston veg
terday to convey the bodies OF Charles
Ward and son, George, to the cema-
terry. Father and son were drowned
last Tuesday night.
Sufficient warning of the flood In
the Monongahela has been sent to all
points by the weather bureau and lit
tie damage Is expected to result even
should the predicted stage be ex-
ceeded.
