Paris Jan 9-CardipaI Leon Adolphe
Annette, archbishop of Paris, In an
admonition which will be published in
the churches here tomorrow, forbids
the dancing of the tango as a sin
which must be confessed and require
penance.
The archbishop says:
I'VE condemn the dance imported
from abroad known under the name
of the tango, which, by its natures is
indecent and offensive to morals and
Christians may not in conscience
take part therein.
1T will, therefore, be the duty of
confessors to take notice of this in the
administration Of the sacrament of
penance."
Admonition Against Immodest Dress.
Able Gouget, of the archibishops s
household said today that his emil

of the tango and had hoped that it
would be transitory, but he felt it his
duty now to intervene formally.
Cardinal Annette also will publish
tomorrow an official admonition on the
daring and eccentricities of modern
dress.

AFRICAN STRIKERS

Several Attempts to Blow Up Trains

manner as to bring things to an i'm

ton tonight is extremely grave.
Dynamite is being used by the strik-
ers in the territory q 1iacent to Johan-

blow up the Cape mail train between
Denver and Jeorge Goch. Nobody on
board the train was injured, but the
front wheels of the pilot engine were
blown off and the track seriously dam

the railway tonight between Johannes

Approval Order Not Within Its Power.
THE mandatory requirement of the
statute that the commission shall base
its decision as to the amount of stock
to be issued upon the prices at which
1t is to be put out is inconsistent with
the underlying idea of a convertible
bond such as is proposed in the pres
emit proceeding. 1t has been argued
with earnestness that a convertible
debenture has become highly desir-
able in view of present conditions.
This, however, is a matter rather for
legislative than judicial consideration.
No request has been made for the
approval of an issue of bonds with
out the eonvertible-into-s stock feature.
Apparently no vote has been passed by
the stockholders for an inssuance of
that kind. Hence, the only matter to
be considered upon this aspect of the
case is whether approval of an issue

set out in the order Of the commission
