RESENTS INVASION
OF PRESS LIBERTY
Charles r. Miller Tells Lobby
Committee Newspapers DO
Not PerVert News.

Washington, March ia vigorous
protest against what he termed an in
vasion of the liberty Of the press was
expressed to-day by Charles Z. Miller,
editor in chief Of "The New York
Times" before the Senate ship pur-
chase bill lobby inquiry committee.
Mr.. Miller was questioned in detail
By Senator Walsh, chairman Of the
committee, concerning editorials and
news articles appearing in THE Times
relating TO the ship purchase bill, trust
prosecutions, the European war and
compen sation to railroads for carrying
mail. He declared with emphasis that
the news columns Of his paper never
were influenced by its editorial poll
cies and that no outside influences
could make themselves felt IN the
paper
The editor resented any insinuation
that there was amy effort to peryert
or suppress the news and protested
against the committees procedure.
II feel said Mr. Miller that IN,
quisitorial proceedings Of this kind
would have a very marked tendency, II
continued and adopted as a policy, to
reduce the press Of the United States
to the level of the press in some OF
the central European capitals-the
press that has been known as the rep
tile press, that crawls on its belly
every dav TO the Foreign Office and 70
the government officials and ministers

The tango cops" have made good.
As result Abraham Kutner, pro
prietor Of the Poodle Dog Cabaret, at
143l Broadway, and one of his walters,
Robert ". Burke, were arrested by
plain clothes men Of Inspector Norris $
staff and from the West THIRTEEN
Street station. .,
They were held in the Yorkyille
court by Magistrate Nolan on charges
Of violating the excise law, and the
owner on the additional charge o.
maintaining an illegal resort.
And all because the "cops' nave
learned to dance.
People out after midnight have been
startled 10 see an otherwise sane look
ing patrolman going through mighty
queer looking actions. Many were TO-
rushing to the nearest telephone TO call
an ambulance from an institution Tor
the insane. Others, who we're inter-
ested i'm the dances that made the Cas-
ties famous, stood and learned
learned the steps that are keeping
Broadway folk out late
The patrolman thus observed was
simply trying to master the tango, the
hesitation, or possibly the fox trot or
one. p, and in that way taxing ad-
vantage Of his associates, then doing
day tours, who were trying TO earn a
place on the tango squad.
How Squad Was Formed.
For months complaints have reached
the Manhattan and Brooklyn head
quarters, particularly the latter,
where Deputy Commissioner Leon G.
Cooley holds forth, against several
d-Ace halls and tango parlors. In some
cases excise violations were men
toned. and in others those who fre-
quented the places, particularly the
girls.
Cooley ordered immediate inyestiga-
tions and was indignant when his mail
recently showed an increasing number
of complaints. His men evidently had
T. crasped the importance Of the mat
ter. He therefore called them al be
fore him, and each head bowed IN
sh -meful admission Of failure as the
chief" fist struck the table and he
said, in a voice that recalled TO the
mind Of the men eight hours pound
ing the pavement" every day:
"Why why did you fail?'
The man who had not been stricken
dumb by the glare Of the deputy.s eye
managed TO say:
"It is. it is Well none Of Oh"

TRADE COMMISSION
MAKES BOW TO-DAY
Bureau of Corporations to
Give Way to Business
Regulating Body.

Washington, March !5.-At room to-
morrow the new Feueral Trade Com
mission will come into being and the
Bureau of Corporations will cease TO
exist The five members of the new
Trade Commission-Joseph +. Davies,
at present Commissioner OF Corpora
tions; William J. Harris. who retired
to-day as Director OF the Census; Will
lam II. Parry, former editor Of The
Seattle Post Intelligenccr"; George
Rublee. of New Hampshire, and Ed
ward Nash Hurley, president OF the
Illinois Manufacturers Association
will then take the oath Of Office. Justice
Covington, of the District Supreme
Court, administering 1t.
The commissioners held on informal
meeting this morning and Diseased
the plans for the future. Commits
sioner Davies said the commission
would begin with a clean slate, as all
the work on which the Bureau OF Cor
porations had been engaged was com
pleted.
in the orinion Of the commission,
its work will not be TO tear down but
build up. II will not look upon big
business with suspicion merely be
cause it is big, but viii seek 10 keep
the field Of competition open, so that
every man may have such a showing
as his abilities, industry and location
entitlc him to have.
"The new commission will no more
seek to run the business of the country
than the courts of the country attempt
to run business when cases involving
disputed contracts or acts alleged 10
be illegal are presented TO them. In
stead. il will seek to relieve business
by removing the doubt and uncertainty
which has formerly involved the things
which are permitted an those which
are forbidden"
Through the absorption Of the Blu
reau of Corporations in the Commerce
Department by the new commission, its
work of organization will be greatly
simplifed The Office staff and records
of that bureau are being transferred
to the commission and furnish a work
ing force already organized and
equipped with much information as 10
the corporations with which the com
mission will deal.
Il Will be the duty of the commits
SION 10 classify these corporations and
formulate regulations and rules as pro
yided for in the trade commission
act, the declared purpose Of the act
being to establish regulated competi-
tion among concerns engaged in inter-
state transactions.
With the exception Of Mr.. Rublee. all
the commissioners have been con-
frmed by the Senate Mr.. Rublee will
take Office under recess appointment,
subject 10 confirmation by the next
Senate.

Learned TO Dance.

Tia situation was n difficult one. The
honor of the department hung in the
balance Then one bright officer sud
denly said;
Why not have some guy teach US
how TO dance"
The telephone 20 Commissioner
Woods's Office was put in use, and God
ley's reputation went up peg when
he told the Commissioner that he was
going to enroll several of his men IN
several dance-teach.ng academies.
That's great" came back from Man
haitian. "and as soon as yoI find the
academies. III send over some Of this
borough's men"
The men in uniform heard Of It, and
while the favored were taking their
lessons. the uniformed ones were both
ering sisters, wives, swcethearts and
even mothers to help them make the
"tango squad
The Manhattan men scored first,
however. after leaving the school. Men
attached TO Inspector Morris's staff and
several from the Tenderloin precinct,
i'm civilian attire, were sent out TO
SPOT the Poodle Dog Cabaret.
The policemen yesterday morning
admitted they had a good time at the
expense Of the city, and told how they
earned regulations as dancers and good
spcudel-. However they accomplished
yhat they set out 20 do. and what they
would not have done had they been
unable 20 dance.
