HARRISBURG TELEGRXPH Orpheum Dancer Defends Tango; « S S » K Not Vulgar if Dene Right Says That Some Folks Spoil, the Dance, But They're to Blame , In the midst of an avalanche of I pros and cons, for and against the tango, comes a first handed stroke of defense from a professional dancer who in his career has probably tan goed more miles than some of us have walked. It is James Cartmell, who with Miss Jessie Harris, his pretty partner, is elevating the drama and also his feet at the * Orpheum this week. "X see your town seems to be in ' the middle of the tango war," said Mr. Cartmell, tangoing around the city editor's desk after doing a one step from the Orpheum. "Popular sentiment is divided on the qxiestion of the propriety of this dance, just as it is in Harrisburg" said Mr. Cartmell. "1 just finished reading your local Bishop's endorse ment of the new dances, and in it he shows good sense. There is noth ing harmful about them so liwig as j they are properly danced, but likej everything else these dances can be 1 exaggerated into vulgarities if the I dancers choose to do them that way. j Country Dunce Mad "New York city, like Harrisburg, is i dance mad just now. Every restau- [ rant, hotel and even some of the the- 1 aters have dance floors, and the tango is rampant everywhere. Only last week T visited man*" of these places in j New York but really there is noth- i ing wrong with it In the wav thev i do it. "The tango, as far as anyone seems j to be able to discover, originated in Argentina, S. A., and if we put the dance on here in the way they do in ! its native land it probably would be prety hot stuff, but the tango has been purified for use by careful danc ers in this country. It is lively, swingv, j raggy. and all of that, but the Amer- ! lean tango cannot be called sugges- ! tive or vulgar when it is danced right. There is no doubt but what the in dividuals dancing them can burles que the tango and make it suggestive I if they want to, but blame the in- I dividual for that, not the tango." I Canada's "Grand Old I Man" Dead, Aged 93 London, Jan. 21. —Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal died at 1.55 this morning in his sleep. He had been gradually growing weaker since Sat urday and applications of oxygen were necessary. His condition yesterday morning was such that his doctors abandoned hope of his recovery. Lord Strathcona's life spanned nearly a century and his active career a full three-quarters. "The best way to live to an old age," he explained, when found at work at his desk in London on his ninety-third birthday on August 6 last, "is by not thinking about age at all, but just doing your work." Prom his eighteenth year, when as Donald Smith, a sturdy Soot, he sailed for Canada, to his ninety-fourth year, which would have been completed next August, he lived up to his maxim of work. For the last six years he had been periodically reported as "about to resign" the post of high commis sioner to Canada, but it was death and not his resignation which termi nated his work. Selinsgrove Surgeon Killed in Auto Accident By Associated Press Sunbury, Pa., Jan. 21. —Dr. William H. Ulsh, of Selinsgrove, Pa., a retired assistant surgeon of the United States navy, was killed five miles south of Selinsgrove to-day in an automobile accident. The machine turned over and was caught beneath it. Dr. Ulsh vyas forty-five years old, and leaves a widow. He was a grad uate of Annapolis and handled small pox epidemics in the Philippines shortly after the Spanish-American war. He retired from the navy in 1902 because of incapacity resulting from his service. Since his retire ment Dr. Ulsh was a Pennsylvania Railroad surgeon and State health in spector and had charge of the small pox outbreak in Selinsgrove last year.

Chairman Nathaniel Ewing said that he could not say when the matter would be reached or what would be done. No end of speculation is rife over the State and many people seem to be of the opinion that while the right of wives of railroad men to enjoy passes may be granted, there are slim chances for anything else. Commis sioners say such reports are conjec ture. The notes of the hearing yes terday are being transcribed for the commission. Speaker Alter s argument is believed on the "Hill" to be the lines which will be seriously consid ered. He argued that the issuance to families of railroad men was the de sire to save them expense jsut as is ! done by a merchant who gives dis counts to employes. The commission has not yet reached the Camp Hill water rate case and the Riverton Consolidated Water Company may ask a hearing. The Mount Joy contract for street lighting was considered to-day. The afternoon was devoted to the continuation of the Bell Telephone protest against the rate schedule. Harry H. Murray and Clark H. Toler, Pittsburgh, George G. Brown, Kmsworth, and A. G. C. McKalip, Wll kinsburg, representing the combined associations of engineers of Pitts burgh, protest to the Public Service Commission against the discrimination in rates charged to different consum ers of electricity in the city of Pitts burgh by the Duquesne Light Com pany. They also claim that the latter is now engaged in an effort to create a monopoly by acquiring the plants and equipment of many of its competitors. Paul S. Keller, 2729 North Front street, Philadelphia, representing the heirs of the estate of J. K. Smith, who have been paying taxes and water rents to the city of Philadelphia for the past forty years, desires to appear before the commission on February 3 in opposition to the approval of the contract between the city of Philadel phia and the Philadelphia Klectric Company. He objects to the contract price entered into for the past ten years. The East Broad Top Railroad and Coal Company informs the commis sion that in numerous instances its fares are only 5 cents, and to provide passengers with two individual cups, without charge, 1. e., one at the sta tion and one on the train, would be equivalent to a heavy reduction in rate. The company says it is appar ent that the general Intent of the sani tary drinking cup law will be best served by provisions that will tend to encourage each individual to carry a >cup. The Cltiens' Electric Illuminating Company, of Pittston, yesterday made a protest before the Public Service Commission against approval by the commission of a contract between the borough of Exeter and the Consumers' Electric Company. The Citizens con tended that there had been no com plaint as to the service it gave Exeter, or as to rates. The hearing will be resumed on February !!. While the public service hearing was In progress two protests against passes or reduced rates were sub mitted in writing. J. F. Edwards, Philadelphia;, protested against issu ance of passes to employes of railroads as well as to their families, making the remark that if they had to pay fare there would be more room in cars. Dr. F. H. Brobst, Reading, de clared it was not right to require widows and orphans to pay full fare and to allow ministers to ride at half rates. Senator Shelby Shows Slight Improvement By Associated Press Washington, D. C., Jan. 21: While the condition of former Senator Shelby M. Cullom showed a slight improve ment this, morning, no hope is held out for his recovery and, according to the attending physician, the end may come at any time. Shortly after 2 o'clock the members of his family were called to his bedßide to witness what was thought to be the rapidly approaching end. but a rally took place and Hetween 7 and 8 o'clock the patient partook of breakfast, consisting of a slice of bacon, an egg, coffee and toast J JANUARY 21, 1914, BUYING SPECULATIVE 1 IN MARKETS TODAY Special Stocks Influenced by Favorable Trade News; Bonds Were Reported Strong By Associated Press New York.
