NO NEW EVIDENCE IN
 CASE OF WILLIAM A, WALSH
Police Investigation Fails to Throw Any New Light on Erwin Place Mystery.

Mystery.
 | The investigation being conducted by the police into the mysterious death of William A. Walsh, whose
 body was found yesterday morning at about o'clock in front of the
 ukrainian hall on Erwin Place, the mans neck having been broken, has so far failed to bring to light any evidence or clue that would lead them to believe that any foul play was committed in connection with the mans death. They have sue cceded in placing him at midnight,
 but according to the finding Of the medical examiner, Walsh had been dead about three hours when the body was found. This would set the time of his death at about 1 o'clock
 The police have the names of two men who, they believe. can probably throw some light on the whereabouts of Walsh between midnight and 1 o'clock. Policeman Thomas ]. Feeney and Sergeant Michael J. Flynn, who are Investigating the affair, have not made their report on the death to Chief William c. Hart yet, but are expected to do so by to- morrow. They have interviewed several men who attended the we'd ding in Ckrainian hall, where Walsh had spent the evening. but they said that Walsh had left before the others, and that they had not seen him about the hall when the party ended.

STUPID DANCING

Perhaps the worst thing, after all, about social
dancing nowadays not that 1t is indecent but that
if is ugly and stupid. >,
Certainly it is true that for the public at large
says the New York World, dancing is lost art prac-
tcailv the only true dancing is that on the stage
That it was not always so thoseFnan and women know
who can without difficulty recall the days OF the waltz
the polka the schottische and even the informal romps
such as the barn dance Grace and beauty have disap
peared almost utterly from the bathrooms and from
dancing-floors in general today. In the shuttle and
walk which constitute the steps OF the hour,
neither dancer nor spectator can find msplra-
ton To the looker-on noeed, the spectacle on the
floor passes quickly from the state of being joke to
that of being bore
No wonder the dancing teachers of the country
are disguised with the situation and contemplate
ing advertising campaign to make the public realize
what dancing ought be- and what genuine enjoyment
it is missing in yielding to those absurd and shiftless
substitutes. And when the advertising begins it might
we'll follow the lines here indicated.
Never mind the morality immortality involved
The moral controversy has had little effect But sure
ly grace, charm, beauty, action and variety has a
stronger appeal than ugness, stupidity and n2onot-
cny when properly set forth.

will not reach its possibilities This condition IS the
naramount need Until that is brought about we Will
fsIl short of what we should be. Our farmers must
own and live on their farms, with view to providing
all the modern comforts that make farm life desirable
and profitable. They must be interested IN schools

pointer pup, rubber plated tire.
You have the dough-" said Richard
Roe, "and everything is grand, the

CELESTIAL JOURNEY
MADE With PHOTOS

Far Heavens With Aid Of
Huge Telescope.
$4,000 STARS ONE VIEW
Mount Wilson Observatory Data
Given by B. R. Baumgardt.

Starting from Mount Wilson OBJ
servatory near Los Angeles, B. r
Baumgardt, through the medium OF
some of the latest photographs taken
through the worlds largest telescope
last night took members of the Ma
tional Geographic Society on jour-
ney among the planets, stars and to
island universes" beyond the milky
way.
The speaker demonstrated the great
power of the Mount Wilson instru-
human eye, by first throwing on the
screen an unmagnified photograph of
a tiny spot of space in which seven
stars were visible. This was followed
by the same space seen through the
telescope, which brought thousands
of stars into view. A third photo
a Photographic plate for two and a
half hours disclosed $4,000 stars,
where only seven had been visible to
the unaided eye. Such studies, the
lecturer declared, made it evident that
there are at least two billion suns and
planets in our star system.
Bulletins from Space.
l1ehlc DullellHS lTOHl space pre-
sented by the speaker included the
following:
Sun spots generate huge magnetic
fields that undoubtedly affect cleo
trical conditions, weather and crops
on the earth.
Hot gases boil up from the sun of
a distance of 100000 miles and
flames lick out into space as much as
$1,000 miles
Photographs so highly magnified
that they bring the moon in effect
within forty miles of the earth and
show objects 200 feet square prove
that there is neither air, vegetation
nor other life on that satellite.
The latest and best pictures show
no evidences of canals or other works
of rational beings on Mars.
The telescope can be turned to diff
ferent parts of the heavens and dis
close solar systems in evolution at all
stages from the chaos of genesis to
the burnt-out condition of the moon.
