Riot Over. Dance
On Boat Halted
With Revolver
Protest by Manager Of Floor
on Mandalay Against Man 8
Alleged Improper 'Wrig-
CLING Causes Outbreak
Two Placed in Brig
Accused Are Discharged in
Night Court, but Com
plainant Is Ordered Held

A riot, which, it is said. was quelled
only when the dance manager drew a
gun, broke out among passengers of
the steamship MAndalay shortly after
o'clock last night as the excursion
boat was nearing her slip at the Bat
terry.
According to the management, the
trouble started when Joseph Mosto, of
61O Grand Street, Rutherford, N. J., was
requested to leave the ships dance
floor by Walter Hand, of 637 Henry
Street, Brooklyn, for alleged improper
dancing.
"A fght!" some one cried as Mosto
started to argue with the dance man
ager. At this cry the dancing stopped
generally and the dancers began to
crowd about Mosto and Hand, threat
ening the latter.
Then, according to Hand, some one
pushed him, and melee was under
way. There was rushing, punching and
kicking on. the part Of the male dancers,
while their partners are said to have
indulged in much screaming and some
weeping.
Prisoners Put in Brig
Hand, with the aid Of officers Of the
ship, finally succeeded in capturing
Mosto and man who gave his name as
Ludwig Auger. Of 72 East 122d Street,
who was charged with aiding Mosto in
his protest to the management. They
walked the two from the floor and
below decks, where they locked them in
an improvised brig.
When word reached the dancers that
the two men had been locked up in
the. brig. dancing once more stopped,
and men and women set out to rescue
the two prisoners. At the bottom Of
down, it is alleged they We're met by
Hand, who had drawn revolver and
warned them to 60 back to their dane
ing and mind their own business. The
dancers returned to the dance deck
and the ship finally warped into her
pier.
Manager Held by Court
Hand took his two prisoners to the
Harbor A Police Station, where he pre-
ferred charges of disorderly conduct
against them. In night court, before
MAGISTRATE. Silverman, Mosto testified
that he had no intention Of dancing
improperly. He said that if he ap-
peared TO be doing so, "the roll of the
ship, and not he, was to blame" He
then offered to give the court an exhi-
bition of the way he thought he was
dancing, but the exhibition was ruled
out. q - i
Anger then took the stand and te sti-
he'd that he was. strictly neutral in
his hahti on the dagce manager when
he believed that the two combatants
were in danger OF rolling oyerboard
Magistrate Silyerman discharged the
two prisoners, but held Hand in $500
bail on charge of violating the Sui
liyan act.

CHANGES ARE POPULAR
I do not feel competent to predict
whether changes will bring about a
return to capitalism. can only say
that changes which have been made
are extremely popular and they were
made because of poor distribution,
lack of bread, and the demands of
the peasants.
Before me have the speeches
made at the An-Russia Communist
Congress, just held at Moscow.
Lenin in his opening address said:
Peasants constitute the major
ity of the Russian population.
Therefore, our chief problem of
policy in genrsl and of economic
policy in particular is to establish
as soon as possible definite rela-
tions between the city workers and
the peasants. During the civil

nection between peasants and
workers was military necessity.

BEAVERS USE BOATS.

The manager of DR.. Neville Lind
says ranch near Calgary, Alberta,
Canada, declares beavers are the
cleverest animals in the world. Ad-
joining the ranch is a slough on
which boat is kept and at one end
is a grove of trees running down to
the water. There is no current in
the slough, SO ordinarily the beavers
have to push the tree lengths which
they cut along the surface to their
dam with their noses. The manager
AYERS that they have changed their
habit and that now they unite the
boat, nose it to the other end, fill it
with logs, nose it back to their dam,
unload it and tie it up again.
