METHODIST o. K. ON
DANCING is ASKED
Masters Base Plea on Advent
of Prohibition.

Dancing masters who have sounded
the knell OF the "shlmmy" and other ex-
travagant forms of ballroom tactics
have appealed TO the Methodist Church
to remove the ban OF that sect on dane
ing, advancing as one argument that by
prohibition the greatest evil to good
dancing has been removed. The dancing
masters, 1t appears have always been
absolutely united in favoring the separa-
ton Of dance halls and liquor parlors.
In the letter transmitted to the Meth
odist Church by the executive commit
tee of the American National Associa-
ton, Masters of Dancing, 1t is stated
that dancing is a decent art and beyond
any possible censure OF church and mu-
nicipal authorities. 1t is pledged to i'm
prove the standards of the profession
wherever possible and to rid the dance
hall of Jazz or other music described as
DEGRADING"
The advantages of dancing as social
accomplishment and for RELAYS ton are
set forth with a tinge OF professional
feryor. I'VE consider dancing In the

concludes with a promise to put dancing
on SO high a plane that neither Church

REVOLVER FOUND
ON PRETTY GIRL
She Fibs to Cops and Clues
Fictitious Address.

Detective Kelly of the Mercer street
police station scratched his head in per-
plexity last night and admitted he
couldn't understand why a nineteen
year-old blonde who was pretty and
smartly dressed in the bargain should
make a mysterious trip into tenement
house where she knew no one and fib
to him about It later. and especially why
she should pack a fully loaded .3S calibre
revolver In the pocket of her extremely
well fitting skirt and then give him the
preposterous explanation that she had
found the weapon by chance lying on the
roof.
Detective Kelly first saw the young
woman talking animatedly to two men
at Thompson and Blocker streets. Her
clothing was so modish and her whole
appearance SO uncommon in that neigh
borhood that his attention was aroused.
The trio evidently noted that they were
being watched, for they soon separated
and the girl started down Blocker
street, turning into Sullivan. At 20S, a
crowded tenement Kelly saw her enter.
He waited and presently she came out.
The detective asked her what she had
been doing.
why, live on the top floor" she ex-
planned.
"All right" said the detective. Tets
go up"
But on one could be found on the top
| floor or elsewhere in the building who
would admit ever having seen her before
She was taken to the Mercer street sta
ton, where she described herself as Dor
othy Pearson. 10. of 217 East Seven
tenth street. which, the police say, is q
| fictitious address. After the loaded re-
volver had been found in her pocket she
was taken to Police Headquarters
| charged with violating the Sullivan law
She refused to say anything beyond an
| nouncing that she had found the gun on
| the roof.
At PA Sullivan street is a paper box
| factory, where strike Is in progress
There was a fight there Thursday In
| which some OF the strike breakers were
stoned. But whether or not the visit OF
Miss Pearson to the adjoining tenement
had anything to do with the strike is
something the police admit they are
puzzled over.

INCREASE IN ALIMONY
ASKED ON Fl. c. L. PLEA
Wife Wants More From Pc.
lice Department Official.

A teething baby and her husbands
irritability are blamed by Isabel ].
Walsh for the domestic troubles in
volving her and Roger X. Walsh, chief
clerk of the Police Department. In pa
pers filed yesterday in the Supreme
Court she asks a substantial increase
In the amount Of alimony granted her
in the suit for separation she brought
against her husband in 1911.
According to affidsvlts i'm support of
the motion, Walsh left his wife in Sep
TENDER, 1905, shortly after the birth of
his daughter. whose cries while suffering
from infantile ailments annoyed him.
She has now grown up into high school
girl, Mrs, Walsh says. Reasons for an
increase in alimony are explained by
Mrs Walsh as follows:
THE cost OF maintenance ana support
of my daughter has increased to the ex-
pense of supporting and maintaining a
young woman Of II at war prices for
food clothing and shelter. My daughter
is attending high school and has about
two years more to put In before COM
rieting her course"
At the time the allowance was made
the defendant was receiving $2,1OO a
year as assistant chief clerk. The Su-
preme Court then allowed Mrs. Walsh
$50 month. He now receives $4,000 a
year, Mrs. Walsh says. and asks that
her allowance be increased TO Sl35 a
month.

The $3.50 increase granted last year
