OFFICERS RAID
SPENCER HALL
FIND DANCERS CARRYING
MOONSHINE ON
PERSONS

Two hundred and fifty dancers at
the dancing pavilion in the town of
Spencer were petrified with astonish-
ment last Sunday evening when Ber-
nard Laabs, prohibition deputy, Fred
Il. Schroeder, sheriff and Mrs. Helen
Stephenson, policewoman, swooped
down ON them, arresting two, Frank
Johnson and John Tohr, on a charge
OF carrying moonshine on their per-
sons, as we'll as confiscating Ford
coupe.
Just as soon as it was whispered
about that prohibition officers were
present many of the dancers COM
menced to scatter. Fifty automobiles
or more were parked about the hall.
representing huge crowd gathered
from the entire surrounding country
and from villages ana cities some dis
tance away. Efforts were made by
some to dispose of what they had to
drink and it was only through rapid
action that the officers were able to
make any arrests at all.
Officials feel free to say that the
condition found at spencer exists
throughout this part of the state.
Dances held at various points are at
tended by couples from every direc-
ton, many of them coming forty to
fifty miles to attend. While it is not
believed that at most dance halls
there is any vending of liquor, it is a
recognized fact that many who at
tend bring a pint or so with them.
There are half dozen or more halls
in MASathon county that will be care
fully watched hereafter by officials, il
is understood. While but few arrests
of persons carrying moonshine have
been made, an occasional raid of this
kind Will doubtless reveal conditions
as they are. In order to make more
effective efforts to correct the vicious
spirit of law violation that is being
fostered by neglect of the situation,
ten to fsftcen deputies would be need
ed on m ordinary night, officials de-
clare.

the time set for the Genoa gathering,

FRIEDA HEMPEL DELIGHTS

Richard Wagner was the greatest
of all orchestra colorists; no other
composer has evolved such ravishing
sounds from instruments. Yet Wag-
ner declared that the human voice is
more beautiful than any instrumental
sound that can be produced. He often,
in his operate experience, had rea-
son to doubt this conviction. He
would have been strongly confirmed
in it could he have heard Frieda Hem
pei sing last night in Carnegie Hall.

Nine. Hempel is not only delight
full singer, she also knows how to
make a high-class program. Those
singers who seem to thing that trash
will interest the public ought to have
been in Carnegie Hall last night and
heard the rapturous applause which
followed her songs, nearly all of which
were master songs of high-class ope-
ratio arias. Included among them
were four by Schubert, two by Grieg,
Mozart's "Voi che sapete,' and a num-
ber from his Coronation Mass" two
Bellini arias ("Ah, non credea" and
"Ah, non giunge"), which she sang
with dazzling brilliancy. The pastoral
from Ceracini's "Rosalinda" is little
more than vocal show piece, yet it
is in excellent taste, and how ravish-
ingly Hempel sang it! Her voice is
like Persian melon.
Singers are often advised to learn
by listening to famous violinists, but
Nine. Hempel could give points to
Heifetz as to how to phrase Schu-
bert's "Ave Maria" Grieg's 81 Love
Thee" was one of the songs she had to
repeat; but the supreme test of he1
art came in Grieg's "From Monte
Pincio," which most singers shun fol
the simple reason that it is beyond
them.-H. T. Finck, in New York
Post, Jan. IA.
Miss Hempel will appear at the
Temple theater tomorrow evening.
