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
