He's Most Liberal, but Don't
Like Those Dance
Tunes,
BY GENE COIN
NEA SerUEce Writer

E-7II-KESBARRE. Pa, Sept,
WI2.-This thriving mining
|" city suddenly has appeared
upon the map as the anti-jazz cap
ital Of America,
It has remained for a sooty-skied
symbol Of the machine age to be-
come the scene Of a finish fight
between the classical and synco-
pated forms of music.
And all because Wilkesbarre has
for mayor-an artist.
Dan Hart IS his name and he is
in deadly earnest. He personally
wrote the ordinance that would
sing the swan song Of syncopation.
This ordinance already has had it's
first reading. Soon it will be vot-
ed on.
He looks upon Jazz as immoral.
To his ears its jerky rhythm is
anathena and its effect upon hui
mans insidious and virulent.
And by maintaining an unfiinch-
Ing stand he has set the musical
world vibrating discordantly be-
tween staccato laughter and cres-
cendo denunciation.
Some Of Americas great mu-
steal artists have taken up the
syncopated standard.
But Mayor Hart is not to be
budged. He says he has f1rst-hand
evidence and stands pat.
For Beer
No refor1ner or "blue-law" gent
IS Dan Hart. He is known far
and near as a most LIBERAL
mayor. For instance, he wants
good beer for the miners and
has refused to allow any Sunday

First of ALL" he says in stating
his case, tell the people I'm not

Old-tine theatergoers may re-
member the name. For Dan Hart

greatest money maker Of its time
and one of the four or five biggest
financial successes of all time. He
made a fortune from his play writ

Happy Valley has always been
his home. He was born here in
1866.
Then why this anti-jazz attitude
If he has been a theatrical man?

Worse Than Drink Says Artist-Ma,or Who Leads
Fight to Ban Jazz From WiIkesbarre Streets

I keep in close touch with the
courts. Looking over the records
I find that most of the trouble
between men and girls nowadays
is started at some dance where
they do those sensuous, wild
savage dances to the tune Of jazz
That music is savage; it has a
direct brute appeal.
Here we have a. mining COM
munity. The men are vigorous,
muscled, primal-many a bit wild
They come out Of the mines and

barbarlc music-no wonder these
men get away from themselves.
You'd be surprised the amount of
trouble 1t has caused.
Worse Than. Drink
Jazz has done more harm than
drink ever did. 1t is designed for
naked wriggling savages."
When you wander about the
streets Of Happy Valley and ask
about Dan Hart they may smile at
his ordinance, but never at him. If
he is for something it must be
right.
Is he not a Democrat, twice
elected in Republican Pennsyl
vania?
SO there is some reason to be-
heve that there will be one Jazzless
town IN America before another
month has passed.

Women of 400 Flock Into Business
in Effort to Escape Social Boredom
Gloria Gould Starts Dancing

EW YORK. Sept. 2.-If it
i'm keeps up the social Regis
III ter will have to issue a
business directory as an appendix.
For the rebellion Of the young
ladies of the 400" against the rou-
tine of social life is spreading.
They want to mix business with
bridge: toll with tea; ease with
earning and selling with sailing.
These rebellous young leaders of
American society have concluded
that every woman should have
practical vocation. whatever her
wealth or social station.
Escapes Boredom
inst a short time ago it was Mrs.
Morgan Belmont. one of the most
noted and beautiful members of
New York's 400" Soon she will
take a position as style mentor in
a big Fifth Avenue store.
And now comes Mrs. Gloria
Gould Bishop, the young and
charming daughter of George Jay
Gould. with announcement she

ing" frankly admitted this 1.-the
young exponent Of the classical
dance.
It is no fad. she hastens to add.
For ten years Gloria Gould stud

millionaire class"
Il am going TO start with chill

outlining her aims. Il will teach

the rich. There are no social lines
in art, as every one knows-or
should know. Only grace, rhythm.
feeling and technique count. and
some of our finest forms Of dance
expressions come from peasants
certainly they are the most nat
ural and naive and whole hearted
in their dancing"
'Don't you think society could
learn a few things about grace?
Do you intend 70 attempt any re-
forms in society dancing-so-
caIled2" she was asked.
'I don't see why" she hest
tated.
There are awkward squads at
society functions as elsewhere. But
I believe in all forms Of the
dance. I shall not be a reformer-
but 4 teacher. Later I probably
shall have classes in society ball

Are you taking up this class
to escape the much-discussed social
boredom" the interviewer asked.

twin sister. As Helen" the twin, she
was a lovable child; but as "Zeo" she
exhibited violent traits, which grad
ually grew on her.
The first bank that encountered ruin
because of her connection was in Sa-
pulpa, Okla, when she was 81, just
after her graduation from an osteopa-
thy school in K;rkville, Mo.
She borrowed S1100 from the bank
"without the scratch of a pen," the
record shows. Six months later bank
ruptcy proceedings were filed against
the bank.
The second financial institution she
stcerd upon the rocks was that of
Thomas w. Cunningham of Joplin, her
aged millionaire husband. Three days
after her marriage to Cunningham, he
gave her 1907 900 in stock in his bank.
She sold it next day day to Amos Clip
son, president of a rival bank. which
absorbed Cunningham's institution.
Cunningham was ousted.

particularly IL the courts should hold
that anyone who Is employed by the
government has right to take his let
tiers with him after he leaves office and
restrain their publication.
Senate Could Obtain Letters.
1t SO happens that one letter writ
ten by President Wilson to Secretary
Lane of the Interior Department,
which has never been made public,
gives valuable information on the at
titude Of Mr.. Wilson, toward some of
the questions involved in the oil leas-
ing policies of his administration. The
letter il said to be favorable TO Mr..
Wilson because it is said he would have
required the resignation of Mr.. Lane
had the latter insisted upon his view
point.
Letters of this kind could be OBJ
tanned by any Senate committee simply
by subpoenaing those who have them
in their possession and all the cor
respondence of a President can be
printed by a simple resolution of Con-
gress calling upon the outgoing Presi-
dents to deposit their official letters
with the succeeding administration.
Substance Of Letter.
The letter which Mrs. Wilson asked
the Saturday Evening Post to suppress
was not official, but personal and po-
litical. 1t related to Mr.. Wilson's
advocacy Of Joseph p. Tumulty for
United States senator from New Jer-
sey. 1t was written not only after
Mr.. Wilson left the White House out
after the break occurred between the
late President and his former private
secretary. The suppression of the
letter is said to be within the legal
right of any of the heirs of the late
President, but the substance of the let.
ter has been made public by James
Kearny, editor of the Trenton Times,
who discussed the subject with Mr.
Wilson after the latter had himself
declined to be a candidate for the
Senate.
The New Jersey political leaders
urged Mr.. Wilson to run for the Sen.
ate, feeling that ample precedent for
it was furnished by John Quincy
Adams who served a long time in the
Senate after he left the White House
The fact that Mr.. Wilson urged Mr..
Tumulty Il considered significant Of
his esteem for the man from whom he
had become estranged.
