MAN TRAPPED
In M'CANN CASE
Continued from first page.

added that if the McCanns intended
to accept the offer they should put an
advertisement in a newspaper saying,
"Alrs well. Sands"
Detective Lieutenant George Busby
put the advertisement in the paper and
went with ten men to the rendezvous.
He found that at 32d street and Fourth
avenue there were three vacant cor
ners and grocery store. Busby went
into the store and after donning an
apron told the proprietor that he would
act as clerk for a while. Three de-
tectives waited on the roof, while the
others were hidden in the lots.
Young Mccain went to the spot at
the appointed time, carrying an envel-
opc. Soon a taxicab drove I'D and
Simmons got out Apparently he did
not see McCann, but went straight into
the store. Busby began to question
him. The chauffeur took off his hat TO
scratch his head. and a note dropped to
the floor. Busby seized It. Give
bearer the package" was the message.
The lieutenant blew bis whistle, and
from off the roof and out Of the lots
swarmed the detectives.
Simmons said that he had left his
garage in response TO a call from Stirl-
ing Place and Fifth avenue to get q
Mr.. Ford. Later he changed the story
to say that the call came from the
Montauk Bank, In Union street. Sim
mons is machinist, but he told the
police that he was sent out because
there were no regular Chauffeurs on
hand. He met Mr.. Ford in front OF
the bank and was instructed TO go to
22d street and Fourth avenue to get
package. According to the story OF
Simmons, Ford did not tell him where
he was to take this package, but he
had supposed he was to take it back
10 the bank.
The chauffeur said that Ford APP
peared to be an Englishman. He de-
scribed him as clean shaven, of medium
Height and wearing a light suit. He
had no overcoat and his shoes were al
most worn out, Simmons said. Asked
by the police how he had happened TO
notice this point, the chauffeur re-
piled that he wondered how a man
with such bad shoes could afford TO
hire a taxlcab.
At the office of the taXicab company
the starter confirmed the chauffeur's
story Of the call from the Montauk
bank The police believe, however,
that Simmons arranged with a confed-
crate to be called up at time when
there would be no chauffeur on band.
In the handwriting Of the letters re-
Deived by the McCanns and that OF the
prisoner the police say there is a
marked similarity. Simmons will be
arraigned this morning IN the Fifth
avenue court on charge of attempted
extortion.

ANTI.TANGO TOXIN
FED CHI OMEGAS
Barnard ChaperOns Keep Strict
Eye on Hugging Dances
at Earl Hall.

Columbia University has found a way 20
check the ravagcs Of the turkey trot. the
bunny hug. the tango. the glide and the
dip. It's a hard and fast. arbitrary rule,
but il works like a charm. Any one who
was at Earl Hall last night could have
seen that with half an eye, for not since
New York's buds gave up the minuet has
there been such prim and proper dancing
on Manhattan Isle as that which marked
the annual 'prom" Of the Chi omega IRA
ternty Of Barnard College.
The secret of Columbia's little anti
tango toxin came out when the Barnard
misses. forty or more in number. each
with a partner, tripped blithely up to Earl
Hall and began preparations TOT the
dance Not whisper of any cTuci
faculty intervention had come to them.
The tango. the trot and all others of the
ilk were on the. programme. The dance
was about 10 begin when one of the oil-
cial chaperons which all Columbia dane
ing parties must have announced to the
managing directress that there must De
no hugging. no trotting and no tanSoinS.
And then the secret was out;
Partners must not Indulge III close
holds and must be at least SIX lncnes
apart at all times" was the order.
And under these Wesleyan injuncuons
the dancers fell in Most Of them found
that 10 dance at all they would have To
learn all over again. Who they asked
could dance the turkey trot. the tango,
the dip or the hesitation and be such an
impossible distance away from ones part
ner?'
Never has Columbia witnessed such a
spectacle as the Chi Omega dance. The
official chaperon saw 10 ii the rules OF
the game were observed. aud when a
couple began to hug Just trihe closer
than the edict called for there was inter
vention. though never by force, and the
dance went on.
