Estimate Board to Vote
Wall St. Blast Inquiry

The committee Of the whole of the
Board Of Estimate will recommend to
the board at its meeting tomorrow
that Mayor Hylan cbe authorized to
appoint a committee of seven to in
vestigate the Wall Street explosion of
last summer in conformity with pre-
sentiment made by a grand jury several
months ago.
One Of the matters to be considered
by the special committee will be the
matter of increasing the reward of
$4,000 offered by the city for the
arrest and conviction of the party or
parties who were responsible for the
explosion. At the time the reward
was offered Borough President Henry
II. Curran, of Manhattan, objected to
its size and declared that in his opin-
ion larger amount might bring bet
ter results. The committee also will
by the grand jury.
The report will recommend that the
Police Commissioner, the Fire Com
missioner and the Corporation Coun-
sci be made members of the committee.
NEW ORLEANS, March 3o.-The
five seamen who were brought here
from Rio de Janeiro recently charged
with mutiny on the Shipping Board
vessel City of Alton and suspected of
possible connection with the Wall
Street bomb explosion of last Septem-
ber, were discharged from custody to-
day by United States Commissioner
Browne.
The men, Philip Bender, Henry
Eiran, Hans Raudin, l.. Kuprczuff and
r. Dorsh, were examined by Depart
ment of Justice officials, but no evil
-dence was found which would warrant
their being held longer, it was said.

say, however, that they had been try
ing for some time to eliminate the
dances at which the Cotillo bill aims
and would be glad of the help Of the
law.
This bill suits US" said The man
ager Of Roseland yesterday 1--WE are
glad to see that ithas passed. We are
doing everything we can to eliminate
objectiona Ae dances such as the alli-
gator stride, the camel walk, the turtle
slide, the toddle, the shimmy and cheek
to cheek dancing. There is less Of this
kind Of dancing now than there was
four or five months ago. We have eev-
eral inspectors on the floor all the time
and couples are sometimes turned out
of the place if their dancing Is not up
to standard. Every two weeks our in
structors are called together for a
what to discourage. All the decent
dance halls are careful because they
have licenses which could be revoked
at any time"
The same story was told by the man
ager Of the st. Nicholas Rink and
Dance Hall.
"These laws would be quite welcome
to u.s." he said. 81 do not consider
them blue laws. They are simply what
every good dance hall insists on"
DR.. Straton is jubilant over the pass
ing of this bill, but it does not 60 far
enough, he says. He looks forward to
the time within few years when dan
cling will be. prohibited altogether cx-
cept "the Biblical form of joyous en-
preston in solo dancing"
The Rev. H. l.. Bowlby, Of the Lords
Day Alliance, expressed the opinion
that the Cotillo bill is decided step
in the right direction Young people
would be protected and their morals
improved if dance halls were properly
supe rvised he said

DR.. StrdtOn and Dance Hall Men
Fav0r Bill, but Censor Worries
Managers Say They Have Been Trying Anyway to
Bar Alligator Glide, Camel Walk, Turtle Slide,
Ioddle and Shinmy and Think Law Would Help

The Rev. DR.. John r. Straton and the
manager Of the st. Nicholas Dance Hall,
q visit to which shocked the Rev. DR..
Straton profoundly about year ago,
were in entire accord yesterday az to
the Cotillo bill, which would restrict
public dancing and outlaw some dances.
Both of them thought the idea was
excellent. SO did the manager of Rose
land, another dance hall of which DR..
Straton heard i'll reports in his dizzying
excursion into vicious circles last year.
So far as could be learned, about the
only person directly interested who was
not enthusiastically in favor of the Co.
tillo bill. was John r. Gilchrist.
Mr.. Gilchrist is Commissioner of
Licenses and the Cotillo bill would
make him dance censor for the city. 1t
would be his duty to see that no public
dances were held without license and
that no improper dancing took place at
any of them. He would have to study
rest OF them. 1t looked to Commissioner
Gilchrist like lot Of extra work to
shove onto an official who got only
$500 a year anyhow, and was sup
posed to be an expert on about every
thing under the sun except dancing.
The only way he could see to carry
out the provisions of the law was to
hire staff of dance experts to act as
inspectors and deputy censors.
The dance hall men did not 20 quite
so tar as DR.. Straton, who said that
the bill was a step in the right direc-
tlon and presently all public dancing
might be prohibited except religious
SOLOS like that of Daxid and other
righteous dancers Of old. They did

Craig and Connolly
End Scandal Feud: :
Draw, Court Rules
of Comptroller and
Borough President Are
Stricken From Record in
Queens Contracting Case

Comptroller Craig and Borough Pres
idcnt Connolly Of Queens each won a
victory yesterday in the Supreme Court.
and charged each other with making
scandalous statements. The proceeding
began several days ago with an applca-'
ton by the Anoroc Engineering and
Contracting Company for writ of
mandamus directing the Comptroller to
sign vouchers in payment of certain
work done for the city in Queens
Borough.
Mr.. Craig answered with affidavits
that the company had failed to furnish
the materials called for in the contract;
that Borough President Connolly's at
tention had been called to this, but that
he had signed the orders for payment
submitted by the Anoroc company, with
which John j. Connolly, brother of
the Queens official, was connected.
The next move was an application by
Borough President Connolly to inter
vene in the action so that he could de-
fend himself against what he called the
scandalous assertions of the Comptrol-
Ter, to whose trouble with the Federal
court III Manhattan and the Supreme
Court in connection with contempt pro-
ceedings Mr. Connolly referred. That
was the. score when the two officials
met in the Supreme Court yesterday.
"May it please the court" said Comp
troller Craig, ~ object to the answer of
the Borough President of Queens, who
has been given permission to intervene
in this action. 1t contains scandalous
matter directed at me-"
Thereupon Borough President Con-
molly arose and addressed the court:
Your honor" he said, "my friend,
the Comptroller, is past grand master
in that art, as the courts have had occa-
sion from time to time to determine.
but am willing to withdraw the ex-
preston to which he objects if he will
withdraw his remarks about me made
in his original answer in this suit"

But one moonlight. night he hap

and that he hadn't seen Paddy since
before Paddy's pond froze over early
in the winter.

respects" thought Peter. II certain

as the rest Of us that Sweet Mistress
Spring is here?"
No sooner did he think of this than
Peter started, lipperty -lipperty-lip,
through the Green Forest for the
pond of Paddy the Beaver. Now the
nearest way was past the great wind
fall where Mrs. Bear made her home.
Peter hadn't thought of this when he
started. He didn't think of it until
ne came in sight of it. The instant
ne saw that old windfall he stopped
short. He remembered Mrs. Bear and
ncr secret, and instantly his curiosity
became as great as ever. He forgot
all about Paddy the Beaver.
For some time Peter sat perfectly
still. looking and listening. There
was no sign of Mrs. Bear. Was she
under that windfall in her bedroom
taking nap or was she off some
where? Peter wished he knew. It
was such lovely night that he had
