so Broad street. Irwin Bloom. secretary,
and Robert f. Bloom, a salesman, all of
whom are charged In Joint indict-
ments with grand larceny. conspi-
racy and the publication OF false
advertising matter in connection with
the exploitation OF stock of the Tex
York Producing Company OF Texas, were
arraigned yesterday in General Sessions
before Judge Wadhams, Pleas of not
guilty were entered for each defendant
by their attorney. Nathan d. Perlman
Mr.. Perlman indicated that he will
avail himself Of the customary ten days
allowed to make motions and will ask
for an examination of the minutes of the
Grand Jury in an endeavor to show that
his clients face spite indictments" Mr..
Perlman believes the defendants have
been unfairly treated. and their inno-
cence, he said. would be shown by the
fact that the agreements between C. w.
Calvin & Co. and the TeX-York Produc-
ing Company. whose. status as an oil
producing concern appears questionable
to the District Attorney, were passed
upon by reputable New York law firm.
Calvin is held In $4,000 bail to await
trial. and the other two defendants are
held in $4,000 each>

SOLDIER ACCUSES
DANCER OF THEFT
Montreal Bank Clerk Charges
His Pockets We're Picked.

Joseph Miller. who gave his address
as the Bartholdi Inn. 17S West Forty
fifth street, and who Is said to be the
male member of the vaudeville team
known as "the Dancing Mlllers." danced
out of a cafe in the neighborhood of
Times Square with a watch and chain
and a pocketbook containing $3.50 be-
longing to Lawrence B. Grant, Mon-
treal bank clerk, recently discharged
from the Canadian army after four
years in France. according to the story
the veteran told Magistrate Sweetser in
the West Side court yesterday. Miller
was held for the Grand Jury in $500
bail on a charge of grand larceny.
Grant said he came to New York with
about $500 and that he met Miller and
another man In the vicinity of Broad
way and Forty-second street. After
they had slipped 2.75 beer for time. he
explained that Miller danced out of the
room," whereupon he took an inventory
of his belongings and discovered his loss
It was explained by ]. H. Wetmore
Millers attorney that the latter left be-
cause he was not feeling well and wanted
to get the air. Wetmore urged in his
clients behalf that the dancer had been
married seven years and that Mrs. Mil
Ter. who appeared in court, was the only
wife he ever had" Magistrate Sweetser
ruled this was irrelevant.

NO PLOT PROVED.
ERLANCER CONTENDS
Court Martial Ends With
Summations by Counsel.

The court-martial OF Harry Erlanger,
formerly chief yeoman in the navy,
who is accused of consplring Illegally to
obtain promotion to be an Ensign, was
ended yesterday afternoon. The court
martial board took the case under con-
sideration. The verdict will be sent to
Washington for approval and will be an
nounced there.
The day was given up to summa lions.
Frank Aranow, counsel for the defend
ant, asserted that there had been no
proof of conspiracy. He said that Lieut..
B. j. Ebert, with whom Erlanger Is al
legged to have conspired, did not have the
power to cause promotion of any one.
Admitting the gift Of fur coat to Mrs.
Ebert, the lawyer said that the only
fault Of his client, who is a wealthy
shirtwaist manufacturer, was his ten
dency to try TO help people.
Major Muir, judge advocate, argued
that there had been a conspiracy. He
said that II the purchase of the fur coat
had been an innocent transaction II
would have been paid for by a check and
not with cash.

DANCING MASTERS
TO WAR ON SKINNY
Announce Waltz Is Again
Back in Popular FAVOR.

Modesty and responsibility will pre-
vail in ballroom dancing IL the 800 ex-
popents of heel and toe technique who
met yesterday In the Hotel Astor for
their second annual convention. have
their way. The dancing masters repre-
sent the United States and Canada.
Such was the forecast of President
Fenton Bott of the American National
Association OF Masters of Dancing. who
glided from behind the closed doors
where the delegates and their confeder-
ates of the American Society OF Profess
sors of Dancing were In rhythmic en-
semble. and explained what is what.
THE old waltz is coming back, is
back" said President and Prof. Bott,
"and there'll be no new dances. only
few notifications. For instance, ladies
are not to be pushed back so much.
Hitherto they've been backed along al
together too much. and henceforth
they're to go forward, ffty-ffty, don't
you know"
As for the "shimmy." that will be
stared out of countenance. Prof Bott said
emphatically. So set, indeed. is the as
ISOLATION against this and allied forms
Of emotional tremors that a terpsicho-
rean watch and ward committee has
been appointed to draw up a book OF
rules and charts to show what is out of
bounds and what isn't.
The association will circulate this con-
tribution to literature and SO spread the
dance reform movement throughout the
continent until the blemish Of sensuality
is removed, according TO Prof. Bott, as
official spokesman for the dancing mas
ters and mistresses. The arid era is
great boon to those who are correcting
the Maynard tendencies of the dance
muse, he pointed out.
The convention will hold morning. ar
ternoon and evening sessions throughout
the week. most of the gatherings being
Institutional and all of them open only
to professionals.

jacobson, superintendent of the apart
ment house at 143 East TWENTY seventh

Ferdinand N. Pecora. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney. appeared as prosecutor,
and with him came Nathan Newman,
who lives with his family in the Twenty
seventh street house and in whose apart
ments Senes says he installed dicta-
phones. for a reason neither Mr.. Pecora
nor Mr.. Newman know and Senes will
not divulge.
AS a matter of fact the whole AFFAIR
Is cloaked with mystery. Senes talks
disconcertedly about silk stocking
gang" and says that before he Is through
he will explain everything In a manner
calculated to startle folks Mr.. Pecora
says he 10 dtsinclined to accept the silk
stocking gang story and that he be-
lieves that Senes was seeking q certain
sort OF evidence for a client and got his
dictaphones into the wrong house.
Meanwhile Senes IL maintaining an
impassive silence and bids everybody
walt. There is. however. no mystery
whatever concerning the pulchritude of
Estelle and Frances Newman. the two
daughters Of Nathan Newman in whose
rooms the dictaphones were installed.
Both were in court and appeared to be
quite as mystined about the proceedings
as everybody else.

Why the sale, then?
Because these suits represent $4,000
