Failure te Curb Dance Hall Charged Ceatinaea' frea Pate Om all the dance-hall owners, hotel pro prietors, club managers and se en. Whether this was done I don't knew, for since there was no ether meeting there wns no report -m the matter." A few weeks otter tne, first meeting Mr. McIIcnry wrote te Chief Baxter and asked for n conference, and re ferred te his attention evidence con cerning a certnln dancing place. This letter was ignored. Mr. McHenry says, and en October 20 last he wrote again te Baxter, as follews: "There seems te be a general com plaint against the dance hall at Seuth Eighth street. It seems te be a rendezvous for gamblers, girls and bootlegger. They say the profanity and vile language used is a disgrace te the neighborhood. It is considered n general nuisance. Deps this come under the jurisdiction of this commit tee?" Did Net Answer Query Mr. Mcilenry said no reply was re ceived te this communication. Restless at the Inactivity of the committee Dr. McHenry wrote again en November 8. "My dear Mr. Baxter Will it be possible for me te meet you sometime In the near future at your office? If you will kindly set a date and the hour I shall try te accommednte myself te your convenience." "Again," said Mr. McHenry, "I was ignored. On December 1 I tried again." The letter follews: "I am about te call a meeting of the Special Servlce Committee en Dancing and Amusements. Before I de se, however, I would like te get in touch with you and learn just what we are doing or expect te de during the present season in the way of censoring dance halls, hotels, etc., of the city. If you enn arrange te meet me sometime in the near future, I shall be very grate ful te you." This letter was as fruitless of result as the ethers had been, Mr. McHenry says. After two months' of silence en the part of Mr. Baxter Mr. McHenry prepared a long letter In which he de manded of the chief what had been done or was proposed te be done "In the matter of restraining present conditions in the city." He called the attention of Mr. Baxter te n feeling of bewilderment en the part of the committee as te what their func tion might really be. "Very much te my surprise," wrote Mr. McHenry, "I learned from an in direct source that Miss Walx and you have been conducting a sort of investi gation In connection with certain dance halls in Philadelphia, but that the committee as a whole knew nothing whatever of the matter. Naturally we feel that nn explanation is due us." Baxter Broke Leng Silence Fifteen days later, Mr. McHenry re ceived his first communication from Mr. Baxter since the formation of the committee, he said. The letter made no reference te the solicitations of Mr. McHenry for an appointment, but stated merely that en the day after its receipt a "demonstration dance" would be given at a West Philadelphia dance hall. The committee, Mr. Baxter wrote, had been invited by the man agement te attend. "That seemed te me." said Mr. McHenry. "te be somewhat lrrelevnnt te the function of the committee. Had I been given mere than a single day's notice. I would have attended the ilnnce. But as it was I could net. I learned afterward from a source there can be no contradicting, the proprietor of the ball himself, that tne invitation had been given te Mr. Baxter and Miss Wnlz, n ceuple of months previously." About a fortnight age Mr. Whitman carried the complaint of Chairman Baxter's asserted inactivity te Mayer Moere. The Mayer explained that the Sesqui-Centcnnlal had crowded some ether extra official activities of his de partment somewhat aside, but premised that n meeting of the committee would be called shortly at which an attempt would be made te reach a definite un derstanding between the committee and Us chairman. The date of this meet ing has net yet been announced. Dancing O. K., Says Baxter When the charges of Mr. McHenry and ethers of the committee were laid before Chief Baxter, he made a flat denial that there had been any Im morality in the dance halls of the city during the season just closing. "There were two reasons," he said, "why I did net call another meeting of the committee. One wns the difficulty of getting the committee together; it is almost impossible te get se many per sons of such varied interests in one place at a given date. Mr. McHenry seems te be complaining loudest, hut he didn't even attend the one meeting we had. "Alse I saw no reason why the com mittee should be brought together again immediately. Any one of them was free te make any Investigation he or she chose and my office was always open for the receiving of complaints, and any one of the committee was free te see me at almost any time. "The only member of the committee who brought me any complaints was Mr. Whitman, nnd theso were promptly Investigated. "I say that there has been next te no rowdy dancing in Philadelphia I during the present season. I have been closely In touch with things and have I geno te many of the dance halls te leek t .i.i in... itAi. .i . - ... lUlIlgB uvcr. .ilien 1TU1A uicw U) U PCI of rules, for what she considered geed form In dancing and we sent them fb every dance hall and hotel owner In the city. Theso rules nre'being followed. Wild Dancing Taboo New "The wilder forms of dancing have gene out of fashion anyhow. One rea son is that the music is changing, but I think what has done mere geed than nnythlng' c'.w has been the talks Miss Wnlz gave in various parts of city, and Is new giving In New Yerk. "We ve get te handle this problem in a sensible way, ou knew. Seme of the complaints that come te mc are from interested sources like some dancing masters who want te bring prejudice against rivals, but In every ense investigation has been made either by myself or lv the police, who have been working In close co-operation. "The preccediire lias been, when I couldn't go myeelf. te call en the spe cial officer of the district adjoining the one In which the dance wns te be given. Thnt would mere or less elimi nate any objection that the dance hall owners could Influence the district nellce lenders'. I sunnesp I have mnde rlnzpna nf Rilnh ftfigfirnmpnta nml nnt I once have I heard from any special offi effi ser se assigned that be found anything wrong. "Mr. Mclienrr did write me a num ber of letters but since they contained only accusation that Miss Wnlz and myself were trying te run the whole show and te cheat him of the glory, I hardly thought there was any need te nnswer them. If Mr. AJcIIenry wanted te see me he might have come te my effice at almost any hour. "I didn't ask for this Jeb. but I'm trying te de my bst with It. In spite of the fact that I've get probably the busiest bureau In the city bervlec te run. "As I understand things, this busi ness of Investigating dance halls is only a miner nhnse of-the work of this com mittee. The real work Is the organ ergan organ lutleii of community dances, nnd that will begin when the weather grown warm enough for outdoor assemblies and se en, "I intend te call the committee te gether In a week or se for the purpose Of getting It started en the summer etram. At the same time I'll try discover what all this row is about prei te and attempt te have it threshed out then and there." Replying te these statements of Chief Baxter, Mr. McHenry said: "He is convicted of dereliction i by his own words. He says he didn't call the committee because he didn't think It necessary. Then why the committee? The rest of us didn't ask te serve en the committee any mere than Llrdlelf. "What the social service agencies are interested in is the elimination of the dance-halt evil. We want te knew that this is being done and bow it is being done. Because of Baxter's silence or stubbornness we are by no means sure that anything has been done, and as for anything be might have taken that It is none of .our "Since he has a half deaen coarteetta WUH j. - . h. .i" ? t . r'.- upon nisaseu ie,HiH;sm,-ii eiecT, eta MC ran information that we fett'we had every bvN ttere than ueeta1 for right te demand, ani'tJece, he admits having none se, ne tae Mkftewledged himself unfit for suck Jek and should resign at once.
