TOO VULGAR;'
J-HOP BARRED
Michigan Committee Explains
Ban on Dance.

LANSING, Mich. Jan. 15.-The Uni
versity Of Michigans most brilliant So
cial event, the annual J-hop has been
east into oblivion. The Senate Com
mittee on student affairs characterized
the affair in past seasons as vulgar
and in a statement just issued banished
forever the event which for SO many sea-
sons has attracted society buds from all
HCrts of Michigan aud the CentrYl
States
The committee earlier in the week an
nounced there would be no J hop this
winter and for several days the students
were kept guessing why the discontinu
ance had been decided upon. Several in
dignatton meetings were held on the
campus, with threats to carry the matter
to the Legislature being heard.
In addition to describing the past hops
as vulgar" the following are few Of
the committees reasons for the ban;
\ very general smoking of cigarettes
and consumption of liquor in booths
surrounding the dancing floor.
Wilful and tiagrant disregard on the
part Of many fraternities of the Senate's
rules governing house parties and dances
given in connection with the hop.
Too much individual caddishness,
selfish recklessness and time wasted on
frivollties.
The statement was signed by Prof.
Louis A. Strauss chairman.

I8-YeGr-OId Boy Tells of Jani-
tors 'Profteering.'

What might come under the head Of
profteering was revealed In a story told
by Howard Shaw Is, Anderson, when he
appeared In city court today
The cost Of cigarettes at police head
quarters to prisoners Is ~ cents for a
20-cent package. according to Shaw, who
said that was the price charged for
cigarettes by janitor, Shaw had been
arrested on the charge of carrying con
ccaled weapons, but the charges We're
dismissed when the detectives admitted
that the gun found In his possession ana
which he had just purchased had no
cylinder.
In the celroom Shaw said he asked
the turnkey if he could get some Gig
arettes, that the turnkey gave janitor
81 and that the janltor brought back the
cigarettes, n 20-cent package and re-
turned 25 cents. Shaw was unable to
identify the janitor when Judge Pritch-
ard ordered the suspect in court and the
turnkey who had called the Janitor was
not on duty. The janitors recently, since
the shift In turnkeys have, by order OF
the board of safety, visited freely with
prisoners, carrying out messages. bring
ing In food and tobacco in way that
has never been tolerated by the police

IT'S TAX
ON OLD MAIDS
mo Discrimination Insists
Woman LGICyer.

NEW YORK. Jan. 15.-The proposed
tax on bachelors isn't enough. according
to Miss Lucille c. Pugh. lawyer-it
should be extended to Include "old
maids"
There 1t is aea,n-the old double
standard" Miss Pugh declared, IN COM
menting upon the suggestion OF Mrs
Clara Sears Taylor Of Washington that
the 100000 bachelors in the country
should be subject to q graduated tax Of
from 81 TO s. year, yielding an annual
income of $40. 900 900
~ thought we were getting away from
that. why should we women be dis
criminated for or against In the matter
Of taxation any more than IN voting
Personally I am certain ! would be win
ing to pay 81 or 50 or $1,000 or any
amount a year to insure my continued
freedom"
Miss Pugh was Just n bit inclined to
feel, however, that II bachelors and "old
maids were taxed the former would get
somewhat the best of 1t, as they would
be free to change their status. while
the latter would still be handicapped
by the social precedent which decrees
that man shall do the proposing.
You may judge how serious 1 am
about including old maids in such a
taxation scheme, she said. by the fact
frankly admit that l am one myself"

SEEKS TO AMEND
CITY TRAFFIC LAW
Proposal Eliminates Parking
Exemption for Doctors.

An amendment to the traffic ordinance
to eliminate a clause which Judge Wal
ter Pritchard Of city court has held
makes invalid the parking Limitation Of
one and one-half hours In the congested
district, was prepared today by Harry f
Yockey. assistant city attodney. and spe-
cial counsel to the board OF public
safety.
Judge Pritchard held that the section
limiting rhe parking is Invalid because it
exempts automobiles of physicians with
offices within the congested district Mr.
Jockeys amendment Will make the see
ton read practically as It did when the
traffic ordinance frst was written. which
did not include the exemption for physi
clans. The amendment will read:
In the congested district no vehicle
shall be parked for a continuous
period Of more than one and one
half hours between the hours of
q. NJ and 6 80 p. m., except as here
matter provided.
The except as hereinafter provided"
refers TO the Limitation of two hours for
parking on the Circle and other llmita-
tions which differ from the hour and a
half rule.
The amendment viii be introduced in
the city council Monday.

The report shows that in 1920. 500
places were visited by inspectors, as COM
pared with 5,525 in 1919. The increase
was 394 visits. In 1910 only 1927
articles were reweighed. The 1920 figure
on this branch Of the work is 12,645
greater.
According to Mr.. McGuf, the reweigh-
ing work is regarded one of the most
important branches of the weights and
measures departments work.
we consider it the most important
feature of the department for the reason
that it keeps the merchant on the anxious
seat all the while, his report states.
THE system has a tendency to make
the honest merchant careful and it causes
the dishonest merchant to hesitate be

age which does not contain what the
weight marking indicates" .
POINTS OUT PROBABLE
PUBLIC SAVING.
Mr.. McGuff points out that his de-
partment probably saves the citizens
hundreds of thousands of dollars an
nUany by this system of insuripg them
against short weights. Specifically he
says that if all the butter sold to citi-
zens Of Indianapolis were just one ounce
short a pound the annual loss would be
100000. Before the department started
the reweighing campaign two years aga
much of the butter sold In indianapolis
was short in weight from one to two
ounces on the pound he states.
During 1920 the department caused only
five arrests to be made, the report indi-
Gates. Probably more arrests would be
made. Mr.. McGuff says, If the public
were better educated to the fact that the
weights and measures department needs
tips from citizens just as the police de
partment does. During 1920 only twenty
six complaints from citizens were re-

An order for one-half pint OF whisky
for investigation work" was issued by
Mr.. Or6ison in favor Of R. II. Abel, on
March i. 1920
Another order for one-half pint Of
whisky Ito be used in his investigation
work" was issued to Charles J. Hoover
on the same date
Abel is former private detective who
was mixed up in several unsavoTy affairs
IN indianapolis and elsewhere within the
last few years, and was employed by the
local street car company as an "investi-
gator working in connection with itS
legal and claims department. He is un-
derstoOd to have had a soft berth in the
prohibition enforcement department more
recently.
Hoover is another Of the booze
hounds" who have been Investigating"
the liquor situation in Indiana. His name
has been frequently mentioned in connec-
ton with an affair at Richmond, which
has been under Investigation by the
agents of the Department Of Justice.
On July 23 Hoover received a Dear
Jerry" order from Mr.. Orbison for one
quart OF whisky for his mother-in-law."
This was in addition to the whisky re-
ceived for investigation work.
The discovery by Mr.. Orbtson Of addi-
tional Dear Jerry" orders in his Of
fee. which, it is explained. were mis-
placed, followed the grouping together
at the police station of all the orders
received by the police for the disposition
OF booze, and a conference held yester-
day between Chief Kinney ana Mr.. Orbi-
son at which the prohibition director
was informed that the police would no
longer honor his orders for gifts OF
confscated whisky.
These additional Dear Jerry orders
disposed OF twenty quarts, four pints.
and two half -pints of whisky. No ply
sicianS prescription it attached to any
of them.
Included in this list is an order for
another pint of liquor for Ralph Fine
gold, the prohibition enforcement agent
who also obtained liquor for the use OF
his sister. This order is for whisky
for the use of his mother.
One quart Of this liquor is ordered de-
Hvered to Bert Hendren, who was the
acting head of the Democratic speakers
bureau during the last campaign. The
order IS dated Aug. 81, and says that Mr..
Hcndren was suffering from hay fever
and was prevented from going away
because Of his official duties, Lence
sought to have the whisky"
Hendren appears to have been the most
prominent Of the Democratic politicians
for whom Mr.. Orbison prescribed whisky
during the campaign and it is recalled
that Orbison was assigned to several
political meetings as a speaker at about
that time
The Times protested against the prohi-
bition officer taking an active part in
the campaign and Mr.. Orbison replied
that he was thereby obtaining an op-
portunity to spread propaganda against
tHe use of liquor.

Dear Jerry letters raises the total OF

CLEAN SLATE
BY MARCH 4 is
NOT PROBABLE
Many HangOvers in Congress
Will Greet the New
Administration.
PACKERS TO GET ACTION

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-President-
elect Hardlng's first, last and only re
quest to the present Congressional it
leave his administration clean legisla-
tive slate on March 4-seems In fair
way TO be disregardcd.
When Senator Harding paid his hur-
ried visit to Washington after his Pan
anna trip he impressed upon his col
leagues at the capital the need for swift
action in clearing the tables for a new
deal in March. He did not want any
hangovers to embsrass the new regime
when it comes into being.
But with only forty legislative days
Of the present session left it has be
come increasingly apparent that the ex-
piring session will 40 little but pass
the thirteen large appropriation meas
ures. These measures are Of the must
variety They must be passed ii the
Government is TO continue to function.
AS for the others-and their numbers
are iegion-they appear certain Of going
over. Among them are some important
measures, such as the emergency tariff
measure, the soldier bonus bill, Senator
Calder's bill for national regulation OF
the coal industry, the proposed immigra-
tion restriction legislation, various meas
ures OF importance to particular indus
tries, repeals Of war legislation, various
welfare measures, such as the maternity
bill, and a flock OF others OF lesser i'm
portance.
The one measure on which definite
action is certain is the long disputed bill
for regulation OF the packing industry.
BY unanimous consent the Senate will
vote or this measure Jan "a.
The House next week probably VIII
take up the proposal to increase the
membership OF the House from 435 TO
4s3, and this is certain to produce some
warm political and sectional battles. I'm
less the leaders can choke It of it will
provide enough vocal fireworks to keep
the House busy for days.
