Attack Push Cart Peddlers in New York, Beating
 Men, Scattering Wares.
FOOD SHORTAGE IS
 GROWING SERIOUS
With Onions, Potatoes and Cabbage Selling at I'nhcard-Oi Prices. Re- ports Say Fr0StS Have Damaged
 Crops Ordinarily in Market.

New York, Feb. z0.--FollOwing women food rioters at the city ha l and in the congcsted tenement dis trict today, Joseph lIartigan, com- missioner of weights and measures, announced that he was doing every thing in his power to stimulate tho flow of foodstuffs into this city from all parts of the country. Reports re- ceived by the commissioner indicate that the situation has reached an acute stage, which he asserts calls for the establishment by congress of some sort of food control commits sion to meet the per capita consump- tion of food in the United States"
 While retail shop keepers and push cart peddlers have been forced to bear the brunt of the assaults of the angry housewives here, the bureau of weights and measures announced that 'the abnormal eXportaton of food stuffs and the subnormal production are the underlying causes of the ad- vance in prices" It was said, how ever, that there is abundant evidence of speculation in canned goods"
 oO ucSDCi dlC IdNC lic WOliICb III some parts of the city become, it is said, that hundreds of food peddlers have suspended business. A number of these dealers who ventured into the Upper East side today were set upon by mobs of housewives when it was found that onions were selling at 15 cents per pound, and potatoes at 9 and 10 cents per pound. The peddlers were driven from the street into the railways of tcnements where they were attacked by the women, who tore their clothing and struck their faces. Meantime the push cars were demolished, and their contents strewn about the streets.
 After several hundred women had stormed the city hall in the effort to see the mayor, Mrs. Ida Harris. presi- dent of the Mothers Vigilance league, issued a statement which she de- clared it had been decided to keep children away from school until the price of food is lowered. This step, Mrs. Harris said, was justified on the ground that poorly fed children are in no condition to profit by schooling.

DANcINe IN INDIAN SCHOOLS

w ord Carrier" for Jan.-Feb.,
by the Santec (Neb.)
Indian Normal training School, is
of some interest to The Press, be-
cause of a government boarding
school in the vicinity of Forest
(at Cheyenne Agency.
The article agrees with the senti-
ments of The Press in that Il pro
hibition for the Indian should also
be prohibition for his neighbour Of
a different color, generally speak
ing. The article quoted presents
the argument for the position stated
in a logical and conclusive way.
This position does not in any way
abridge the liberty of the white
man. 1t does not say to him
Thou shalt not dance He has
plenty of opportunities for 50 do
ing if he wants to avail himself of
them. But it is a question of the
use of government property. and
also, the proper training of indian
youth.
The Indian youth on returning
from the eastern as we'll as the res
ervation boarding school, to his
home. is thrown in contact with
dances of the lowest class, the
public, all Knight dance-and other
unreguIGted dances where morality
and uprightness, the claims of
church and family relations, are
held at the bottom of the scale.
II the state has a right to the
boy as a soldier, then it is the duty
of the State to give him a soldiers
training. 1t is more incumbent
on the State to teach Athletics and
Military Tactics than to teach
dancing; there are all but too mum
erous opportunities given in the
social life of any community to
learn to dance. All the more so,
if. as some claim. it is a natural
gift to dance.
A government school is not the
place to learn to dance. What
would be said if a government
school permitted its pupils to learn
to play cards and other inquest
ionabIe pastimes?
ut is evident that there is ser
ious doubt in the minds of many
Government officials and employ
ees as we'll as missionaries and
hundreds of the conservative par
ents of Indian boys and girls as to
the ACCESSIBILITY of allowing dane
ing in Government Indian Schools.
From my observation in schools
and on reservations and having
lived in the Indian country, | put
into writing certain observations
and convictions. | am not I'M
mindful of the attractions of the
dance, having participated in it for
several years.
ut is to be noted that the old In
dian dances are condemned by the
majority of Government and
church officials. This comdem-
nation is not a "squared deal" since
they deny the helpless Indian his
dance and fear to deny the whites.
We should be fair at last and stop
both. In the government school
where habits are beingformed and
tastes engendered. there is much
reason for concern.
There may be a difference be-
tween girls and boys when it comes
to dancing. Girls may dance with
their own sex-boysd do not. Girls
may dance because they love the
music-7boys a dance to any
thing as long as there is a girl to
dance with. "A Je VS. harp would

STUART HOLMES
STARAT HAWAII

Advance notices which heraIded the
new Fox picture. The Derelict," as
production Of the highest merit have
been fully borne out by the reception
accorded the offering, which is the
feature Of the weekend program at
the Hawaii theater.
Stuart Holmes. wLo IL the star in
she production, long ago established
Himself as. a favorite with Honolulu
theater goers. In the new offering he
has a part of the kind for which he
is most famous. He Is Teddy Brant,
hail fellow TO all his friends. who for
gets wife and home in the dizzy whirl
Of gay night life, and who awakes too
late to find himself a pauper and an
outcast. The story will strike home
TO all who see II and leave lasting
impression. In the production Hol-
mes is supported by a cast OF unusual
strength, which includes Mary Martin
and Dan Mason, both Of whom appear
ed with Holmes in The Scarlet Let
ter" presented here recently.
Back Stage" the farce comedy in
which Billy West wades through
series of scenes as a stage star, has
not failed to register a hit. The pro-
gram also includes the 7th chapter OF
the serial, THE Neglected Wife"

While Joan of Arc has come to be
accepted as an ethereal being with a
sanity or perhaps divine mission on
earth, Geraldine Farrar in the role of
the Maid Of Orleans, which opens to-
night at the Bijou theater, gives to the
character a dert human touch, por-
traying her as a woman moved by HUI
man emotions, such as love and pas
sion, but whose surging feelings are
subIimated by her deep sense of de-
votion to France, combined with an
innermost sense of spiritual obliga-
ton.
The production itself, done under
the direction Of Cecil B. de Mile, is
nothing short of wonderful. There
are battle scenes, scenes of court pa.
geantry and prison scenes that sur
pass any film accomplishment ever re-
corded, The Battle Sof the Towers"
with 5000 men participating in the
fight, win go down in motion picture
