We believe In "Music for Every
Child” and in "Music in Every

dreds of children in our city who
could develop musical skill If given
a chance.
We realize that parents would be
glad to spend money for music
lessons for their children If they
had some assurance that the chil
dren would develop musical skill;
but money for such purposes Is no!
always easy to spare, and we do
not blame fathers and mothers for
hesitating when the result is un
certain.
We should like to give every
child his chance in music. We
should like to make it possible for
parents to know whether their chil
dren have musical ability before
-pending money either for pianos
or for lessons.
We nre going to offer piano las
Itons absolutely free to as many chil
dren as we can accommodate. Any

“Semaphore ’ Dudley Finds Himself
Behind Bars at Central Station
Refusing to get his liberty on ft
$25 bond, former Police Sergeant
J. J. (Semaphore) Dudley Is In the
elty jail on the charge of disturb
ing the peace. ITe was arrested ltv
the federal hullding Thursday
morning aftpr a mlxup following
the sentencing of Klmer McNally to
two years on a hoot legging charge
by Federal Judge McGee.
Dudley and the officers who ar
rested him tell stories about the
fray which hardly resemble each
other. Dudley asserts that after
the sentencing of McNally he said
to him ns he w'as going out:
"Goodby, Elmer; Mr. Dennison Is
waiting to see you."
According to Dudley's story Mc
Nally waved back at him, and then
Officer Joe Potach, who had been
watching the wfhole affair, sent
Heine Bosen, a member of the
squad, over to Dudley. Bosen then
attacked him, and the fight started,
followed by the arrest, Dudley said.
When Dudley appeared at central
police station his collar was twisted
and his tie disarranged. A bond
rtf $25 was placed on liim, but when
the money arrived he refused to
take it.
"This Is the >work of the ‘gang.’
I won't take the bond—I'll face the
charges,” he exclaimed.
The officers who were witnesses
to the scene say that Dudley was
making remarks about the police,
ridiculing the force and antagoniz
ing the officers.
According to the officers’ story,
what Dudley said when McNally
left the room was “Ooodby; that's
the end of the "gang'.”
Dudley served for years as traffic
officer at Sixteenth and Farnam
streets, where he became widely
known as the "human semaphore"
because of his wild gesticulations.
Dudley was released a little later
on a $25 bond, furnished by I. Ros
enberg. proprietor of a small hotel
across from central station.
"I know what they're sore at me
about,” said Dudley. "For three
weeks I closed down the joint, and
I know orders have been Issued to
get me.” t
