Savannah Outlaws
Jazz; Now Wants to
Know What Is Iazz
BY G. w FUTILE
Ueased Wire Service to The Journal. }
(COpyright, 1927

Copyright, 1929
SAVANNAH, Ga, April 18.-Jazz
at last is an outlaw. The Savannah
city council at a meeting late Mon
day afternoon passed an ordinance
barring jazz, syncopated or other
wise, from the stage, from all pub
lie dances, and presumably from all
homes, for the new law makes it a
crime to engage in this terpsi-
chorean pastime.
Now that the law is on the city
statute books, the city fathers are
looking for some one definitely to
define jazz. In. the modern dance,
where does jazz begin and where
does it leave off?
The law declares "jazz" to be Gin
decent and injurious to public NOR
ais" and fixes penalty of 500 fine
or thirty days in Jail for those who
participate in the barred dance, or
those who permit it at affairs which
they control.
The ordinance was adopted before
the largest crowd that has attended
a council meeting in years. Alder
man A. J. Garfunkel is the father
of the anti-jazz movement. He in.
troduced the ordinance ten days ago,
and it has been the town talk ever
since. So great was the interest dis
played that Mayor Stewart decided
to hold a special meeting of coun-
Gil and to invite call corners" to ap-
pear and discuss the measure. -
The women of the city turned out
in force. They were against jazz,
ito a man." They met every one
who entered the city hall during
the meeting and pinned on coats and
shirtwaists a tag reading Down
with jazz"
AS originally drawn the ordinance
exempted professional dancers ap-
pearing on the theatrical stage. AL
dermen opposed to the new law
thought to discredit it by offering
an amendment striking out the pro-
vision permitting professional jazz.
The proponents of the measure
quickly accepted the amendment,
and the ordinance went through with
a whoop.
THE professionals said Alder
man Gordon Saussy, "emphasize and
exaggerate every feature of the
dance that is Objectionable
So far as is known here there is
no precedent for the passage of such
a municipal act. No other city is
known to have a similar measure.
Those who spoke for the ordinance
said the young people needed some
restraining measure to keep their
morals clean. From what some of
the speakers said jazz is a very bad
thing, indeed, but no one has been
found yet who can draw up rules to
guide the jazz inspector.

100000 Damage

City Conflagration

POCOMOKE CITY, Md, April 49,
Revised estimates of the loss from
yesterdays fire, which devastated

the steam engine, the telephone,
the airplane and the wireless, is at
work near here.
1t eats mountains!
And transforms them into oil,
paraffin, aspirin, perfume, dyes and

1t is taking the gambling element
out of the oil industry. 1t will no

With this new machine oil men
can measure up an oil shale cliff,
