Business Men Organize
To Guard Heart of CITY

The Heart of New York Business
Mems Association yesterday opened
headquarters at 1o7 West Forty-fourth
Street and started drive to enroll in
it's organization the heads of the $4,000
concerns between Madison Avenue,
Thirty-fourth Street, Eighth Avenue
and Fifty-ninth Street. The dues for
the lowest order of membership will
be 49,
Among the objects of the association
will be the improving Of traffic regula-
tions, the exclusion of sweatshops, the
limiting of er-severe blue laws and
the substitution Of pusses Tor the Sixth
Avenue elevated trains and the surface
cars on Broadway, Sixth and Seventh
avenues. 1t will cooperate with the
existing Broadway, Fifth Avenue and
Sixth Avenue associations along these
lines and in general in promoting the
welfare of the City of New York"
The association has been incorporated
and starts out under the presidency of
Monroe Douglas Robinson, of the
Double r Coffee House, nephew of the
late Colonel Roosevelt Paul Henkel,
Of Keen's Fortyf ourth Street Chop
House, and William r. Burlington are
the presidents, and Francis H.
Deans, formerly of the Liberty Loan
Committee, is secretary.
In discussing the needs which have
called the association into being, Mr..
Henkel asserted that in the opinion of
the business men of the district the
regulations inaugurated within the last
four years to govern traffic between 7
and IL in the evening are killing the
Times Square district, to which they
are limited

exercise. of greater self sacrifice and
personal endeavor.
The Rev. Vaughn Dabney, pastor of
the Second Congregational Church of
boston, spoke also, his talk being q
plea for greater unity in the work of
Christian en6eavor. which, he said is
the only thing that can solve the
troubles of the world.
In declaring the principles Tor which
his state delegation stood the Rev. II.
B. Fisher, of Iowa, gave the following
notices: "Down with the indecent dance
and divorce; make men moral; bury
booze to the bottom; save the sacred
Sabbath; restore Scriptures to the
schools"
Messages from representatives Of
a majority of the sixty denominations
in the Christian Endeavor membership
were heard. The UNCONVENTIONAL
speakers represented both the white
and black races and were from score
of states.
In his closing address last night nr.
Clarke commended the spirit OF the
convention despite the warm weather
and expressed the thanks of the Off
GERS of the society for the reception
and cooperation given by the City Of
New York. T1e mentioned especially
the Mayor, the Police Department and
the Park Department

1 Prohibition Cuts
Number of Dance
Halls Nearly a Half
License Department Report
Urges Same Standard of
Decency for Stage, as
Well as Film Theaters

Dance halls in this city decreased
in number from 634 in 1919 to STA in
1920, according to report of the De-
partment of Licenses for 1918, 1919 and
1920, which was made public yester-
day. Prohibition is given as the rea-
son for dwindling dance halls.
In the same period, bowling alleys
decreased in number from Loaf to
1874, and there were less than half as
many pushcart peddlers in 1920 as
in the preceding year. The decrease
in pushcart peddlers is said to be
due to restrictive ordinances passed
by the Board of Aldermen.
1t is recommended in the report
that the law be amended to eliminate
tho Inconsistency which compels a
motion picture theater seating less
than 500 persons to pay special
license fee of 800, while a larger
house, licensed as common show, has
to pay only $25. 1t is recommended
also that some standard of decency be
set to simplify the duties of censor
report saying:
"Wsr conditions brought about a
marked change in the character of the
atrical plays, and perhaps not for the
better. Certain kinds Of plays, such
as the bedroom scene type. made bid
for popularity and ran their brief life.
The question of censoring dramatic
performances has been discussed just
as heatedly as the question of censor
ing pictures, although the former ap-
peals to a more circumscribed audi
ence.
"Much of what has been said in re-
gard to the character of the complaints
against motion picture films also holds
good in the case of dramatic perform
ances. There is no legal standard by
which the decency or morality of plays
is m measured, and for the guidance of
those who could be directly held re-
SIC nsible for the supervision of our
tkeaters a standard is essential.
"In the matter of indecent vaude-
Vile performances, which come under
the classification of theaters, there is
no such difficulty i'm determining upon
a course of action. A notice to the
lcensee of theater to cut out the OBJ
iectionable feature is usually all that
is necessary. In cases where the the
alter licensee proved defiant the revoca-
been necessary to take this extreme
action only in rare cases.
About sixty varieties Of license are
issued by the department and more
than $4,000 licenses are issued during
the year. Total expenditures were
S169,614 in 1917 and revenues, S697, 378.
In 1920, when employees salaries had
been increased 20 per cent and more
work was being handled, total expendi-
lures were S176,601. The total revenue
for that year was $696,S4S.

Settlement With Peggy
For $780, 900 Rumored
Special Dispatch to The Tribune


CHICAGO, July 11.--Rumors were
current to-day that j. Stanley Joyce
is TO settle his difficulties with Peggy
Joyce, his violet-cycd wife, for the
fiat sum of S5O0.o00 and also pay the
iacidentals Of closing the litigation
now in progress. This theory is partly
borne out by an interview with Joyce's
mother who has fled to their country
home in Clinton, Iowa, to escape the
notoriety of the suit. She says the
award allowed by the court here is
small enough and thinks her son
should pay it, This leads to the
speculation that the family may have
suggested the payment of flat sum
as alimony and the dropping of the
entire matter.
Efforts to get some confirmation of
the rumor met with no encouragement
at tho Offices of attorneys for Joyce
and those for Peggy. They protested
ignorance OF such an arrangement
At the office of Mayer, Meyer, Aus
trian & Platt, Joyces counsel, it was
said that Mr.. Austrian was preparing an
appeal frcm the ruling of Judge SABBATH,
who has allowed Peggy $4,000 for tenn
porary alimony, attorneys fees and the
cost of refuting the charges her hus-
band has made against her. This APP
peal, it was said, would be filed within
a week.
Peggs attorneys denied that the
made to them, although it was ad-
mtted some mutual friend of the
couple might be attempting q settle
ment.

Garrett. James Miller
Much of the current misfame was
kissed into prettiness and perfumed
from urns of spices and produced upon
the stage of the Liberty Theatersas
Scandals" last night, the third of
George Whites series of the uninno-
cents, and the show-wise said it
knocked 'em cold" By long odds it is
the most beautiful Of his productions.
Mr.. White has roamed naughty
world since the last Scandals" He
came back to the Liberty after going
to and fro in it. Along with stuff that
still responds to the knee test he
brought scandals as dead as the ladies'
of Vil!on and the swcethearts of Don
Juan. If not back to Methuselah, he
went back at least as far as the scam
dial of Samson and the Philistine vamp.
The eXegesis, according to White, is
that Samson's strength was on his hip
and it was the innocent administration
of raisin that got Samson's Jack
Dempsey up and "slew 10000 Philis
tines with the jawbone of an admiral"
at sims funny" comments the inter-
letutor, "but it's true"
1t would be singular if the thorough
ness that piled on the stage the richest
spells of the ages in color costumes,
spectacle ana scenery should come back
empty of jokes. So along with jokes
OF original vintage Mr.. White takes
from his treasury some that beal all
'thc marks of hoary antiquity. AS, for
instance, "the purrer the girl the less
oh &c hos a
little girl who is so proper that you
wouldn't think has much fun; we'll, she
doesn't.
Bugs" Baer has written book that
for the most part is clever; could any
thing be fairer than that? The
music by George Gershwin is lightened
throughout by melodies that are col
orful, some of them are exquisite. The
lyrics by Arthur Jackson are abreast
of Broadway standards and the art eff
fects by Herbert Ward are unsurpassed
among this young seasons productions.
There are nineteen scenes, each an
eyeful.
The panquinadjng Of Scandals" is
is summed up in nutshell court room
scene. Vaudeville and drama, politics
and family ere spiced to Mrs. Grundy's
taste. The auience and even the chorus
are lampooned-t the latter in dressing
room scene splendidly underdressed.
Ann Pennington, showing just
touch of beach sunburn, dances the wig
gliest of South Sea Island dances in q
grass girdle the least steadfast. "Penny'
is even lovel,er than ever and appears in
a dozen scenes or more. Mr.. White
himself dances. The travesties furnish
scope for the comic genius of Lester
Allen, George Bickle, Charles Rose,
Lou Holtz and several other able come
dians. There is an abundance of good
voices and the chorus of Scandalmong-
ers is unusually pretty.
