CLAsHING TANGO VIEWS.

There Is Just one rift in the lutte which
has caused a discordant note in the har-
mony Of the arrangements, and that is
the reported intention of King Baggot,
the president Of the club, to launch g
movement to "debrutalize the tango" and
to restore safe and sane" dancing.
He points out the case told last week
by the cable dispatches from London of
Miss Zoe Mary Meek, the beautiful
daughter Of Mr.. ". a. Meek, K.C., of
Cornwen Gardens, London, who dropped
dead at the Yeomanary ball, according
TO the verdict Of a coroner's jury, as
a direct result Of excessive tangoing.
Also he cites the unswerving opposition
Of church dignitaries Of all creeds, who
have Numbered forth anathemas on the
extremes INDUCED in.
Opposed to these views are those of
William Robert DAILY, Chairman Of the
Floor Committee and a member Of the
Board Of Governors of the club, who
states that the Argentine dance, as
practiced in the most select tango ate
iers, shall not be placed under the ban.
Mr.. DAILY, who has pronounced views
on the temperance question, claims
among the many virtues Of the tango
that so absorbed in it do its devotees
become that they consume less Of the
imprisoned laughter of the peasant girls
Of France" which abstemiousness makes
for decorUm at all gatherings
Mr.. Baggot says that for reasons con-
nected with the quality Of Mr.. Days
'intellectuals'' he does not care to en-
gage in a controversy with him in print.
Both officers Of the club, which Oc-
cupies a handsome club house in West
Forty-seventh street, and on whose rOs-
ter is everybody who is anybody in the
industry; have a strong following and
sentiment is about equally divided. A
special meeting of the Board Of Cover
nOrs has been called to cut the GOrdian
knot in whose meshes Terpsichore finds
hersef trusSed.

den. Rescript by Savage, C. J..
1. An easement to take water from
well of another is created by pre-
scription only by an adverse use of
the privilege with the knowledge of
the person against whom it is claimed,
or by use SO open, notorious, visible
and uninterrupted that knowledge will
be presumed, and exercised under q
claim of right adverse to the owner
and acquiesced in by him, for at least
twenty years.
2. If the adverse use of a privilege
continues for twenty years without in
terruption or denial on the part of the
owner having knowledge of it it is
conclusiveiy presumed to have been
with his acquiescence.
3. The grant of an easement to take
water from a well interrupts an in
choate easement claimed by another
by prescription. 1t disproves &C
quiesence.
4. An inchoate easement to take
water from well is interrupted by an
actual disturbance of and interference
in, the exercise of the claimed right.
b. In a suit to recover damages for
taking water from WE'LL when it ap-
pears that the plaintiff is entitled only
to so much water as is needed for tn :
lot on which the well stands, the bur-
den is on the plaintiff to show how
much was needed.
6. The evidence does not furnish
data sufficiently definite to enable the
court to determine the amount of ac-
tual damage. The plaintiff must
therefore be content with nominal
damages.
Judgment for plaintiff for one dol
lar damage.
