LASKER LOOKS GOOD
Though Capablanca Has Decimal Lead, German Star Seems Almost Sure 10 Come 10 The Fore.

New York. April 7.-Although Jose .Capablanca of Cuba, worlds chess champion, holds decimal lead in the international tournament after the 18th round, Dr. Emanuel I.asker of Germany. by winning his adjourned contest with David Janowski of France today as anticipated, would take first place.

 Alexander Alekhine of Russia won from F. D. Yates of England in S2 moves and ogoljubow defeated Dr. Savielly Tartakower of Austria in s5 moves. Naroczy of Hungary and Ed l.asker adjourned after 60 moves. This game. with another between Janowski and Yates and the Janowskl, Dr. Lasker contest, will be completed today.

HUSBANDS BUSY AS
 RESULT OF SERMON
Asbury Park Clergyman Puts "Flea in Ears" Of Their Wives

Asbury Park, N. J.. April 7.-Offi- cials and business men today were busy explaining 10 their wives as the result of sermons which six clergy men preached yesterday. charging that Mayor Clarence T, F. Hetrick. county and city officials and business men attending a banquet Thursday night at an inn where, it was stated, the guests drank much liquor and five women danced.
 The sermons constituted the first step in a joint campaign against bootlegging and immortality launched al a joint meeting of the civic church league and the ku kluX klan.
 The banquet charges were based on an affidavit made by Walter C.. Tyneall, business man, who declared that four policemen guarded the inn, that there was drinking and that five women brought from New York gave an improper exhibition. He was said to have taken 10 the dinner a de- tectire supplied by the anti-saloon league.
 The churches were crowded as a result of an advertisement in which the civic church league announced the revelations would be made. Tyn- dall's affidavit was submitted to Prosecutor Sexton.
 Mayor Hetrick admitted he had attended the dinner but denied any thing improper had taken place in his presence. He said there was mo lewdness, no yulgarity, no drunken ness. and no nude women" and that the women in the cabaret were prop erly clothed. Other officials sup ported his denial while Henry H, Leibing, who arranged the dinner, said he had been accused of having too tame a party"

DANCING IS BANNED IN ABERDEEN SCHOOLS
Superintendent Sees Low Moral
 Trend in This Entertainment

Meriden, April 7.-"Dancing is no part of the educational plan of the Meriden public schools. Dancing has been permitted in the school in the past as a special privilege, and be- cause of the moral tone of the dances, that privilege has been with drawn. If the parents of every pupil in the high school should ask to have the school dances resumed, I would still refuse. l recognize their plea that all should not be punished for the wrong-doing of a few. but. if the moral character of even one pupil be ruined because I allow the dances. l feel that too great a price to pay for the innocent pleasure the others might get from dancing in the school building.
 If the parents approve Of their children having dances. there is nothing know of to prevent them from having dances in places other than the school. The responsibility for what happens is then squarely up to the pupils, and the school author ities and teachers will bear no part of the blame if any of the pupils go wrong"
 Low Moral Tone of Dances.
 The above are few of the re- marks made by Dr. David Gibbs, superintendent of public schools. in a statement published by the Meri- den Record today, relating to the ban on high school dances which is agi- tating the minds of the pupils and some of the parents.
 Dr. Gibbs said he had thought of making public statement, setting forth his position and his reasons. but had not done so because he hated to say anything to injure the good name of the high school. but be- cause of the widespread interest and the apparent failure to understand the reasons. Dr. Gibbs consented 10 give his reasons for deciding that the moral tone of the dances was so low that they should be stopped alto gether.
 Put Up Iron Gates
 Tn explanation he said he had re- eeived reports of boys demanding that girls remove their corsets, or they would not dance with them. He said there was trouble about the tone of the dances and the behavior
