    COUNCIL FLAYED
FOR GRANTING OF
DANCE PERMITS
"Three Frightful Clubs of the
, Devil" Are Attacked by Rev.
.At Charles W. Savidge
In Sermon.
' Rv. Charges VV. Savidge, at the
' People's church last night, flayed the
city council for its recent refusal
to heed the request of a body of
women who asked to have Sunday
dancing abolished in Omaha.
"When God says, 'Remember the
Sabbath day to keen it holy.' the
city council said, 'Now God, -go
back and sit down; we are running
."this town,'" declared Rev. Mr.
Savidge. -
"The modern dance is full or
lust. The modern dance is fall of
hell. Teachers of dancing tell me
there are only three kinds of ar
tistic dancing now, the fox trot, the
i' one step and the waltz. I know of
more than those, and in these
dances the dancers ,imitate the
movements of the sea and of wild
animals. They dance the grizzly
bear,, the turkey trot, the Apache, the
buuny hug, the can can, the shim
rriy. At burlesque theaters they
have a dance which I should call the
sparse clothing and high kicking
dance. Large congregations assem
ble and stay to witness these dis
graceful spectacles.
'I know two young - men of
. Omaha's wealthy families who came
to early and disgraceful daaths in
" consequence of mingling with such
society.
Who ever got a good wife,
selected on the public dancing floor?
Da you ask the dancer to come and
pray for you in your dying hour?
VThe city council, in my judgment,
has built a hopper in which the
devil grinds out his grist.
Nt renot making our criminals
today from the company of people
' who are studying in our Sunday
schools and who are devoutly wor
shiping God in our churches. We
are making our criminal classes from
thwse who go to Sunday night
dances, who attend the burlesque
theaters, where nude women expose
their persons for gain, by those .who
spend their evenings, including the
sacred hours of. Sunday night, at
the pool. halls and like places.
"We nre thus turning out thieves
and highjackers and prostitutes and
. men who despise God and look
lightly upon the property and lives
of others. They despise God and
His commandments and throw off
religious restraint. .
"it must make the devil laugh to
see how we are doing. ' The officers
of the city forgetting their holy ob
ligations to promote virtue and the
fear of God, which are the basis of
1I prosoerity among the people.
They furnish the occasion and the
means bv which souls are destroyed.
"Then" these same city fathers in
struct, he police to buy shotguns
and to travel in high-powered cars
soid bring in these sinners, dead or
alive-,' ',.""' . " . '. ,
"'I ak how can we have good

three frightful clubs in the hands of
the devil to beat our people to
death."

New York, March R-When. Al
bert Graubatd, 28, conductor on a
surface car, was arraigned before
fudge Rosalsky lie pleaded guilty to
igamy.
The complainant against him was
his first wife, Mrs,, Sadie Graubard,
who sa'd that she was married to

three children.
She said she accidentally heard on

ad met Mollie Blaustein, 18 years
old, whose father is wealthy, arid
had married her.
"Your, honor, my Just wife knew
I was going to be married to this
girl," Graubard testified. She gave

MoWie B. Austin, when called to
the stand, said:
''Judge, why his wife first came to
me he brought her to my house,
and they discussed my marnnge.
She told me she was his sister."
"Yes," replied Mrs, Urauoard, "he
told me to do it, judge."
"Well, this is too much for me,"

VICTORIES DUE TO
PRUSSIAN ADVICE
Echelon of Officers Maintained
' . In Moscow by German
General Staff.
Chl Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, March 14. Amer
ican officials here are satisfied. Gen.
Erich, von Ludendorff passed
rthroiigh Finland with a staff of Ger
man officers, en route for soviet Rus
sia last week and while full verifica
tion is lacking, it is believed by of
ficials here that Ludendorff is prob-
aoiy in Moscow at mis time.
, Officials know , that the German
general staff has been maintaining
an echelon of officer in Moscow for
some time, and, there is no doubt
here that these officials have been
?.t work on military plans for the
soviet leaders.
Trotkyi, it is believed, hai been
getting credit for strategic successes
won - with German staff advice. It
is believed here that the, entry of
Ludendorff into .soviet Russia Is
linked up with negotiations between
German militaristic and monarchical
reactionaries and. Lenine and Trot
zky with a view tar joint allianee be
tween German and soviet Russia.
May Take Direct Charge.
The belief is held here that Lu
dendorff has gone to Moscow to
take charge of the actual direction
of work on which the German gen
eral staff echelon at Moscow has
been at work for some time.
The present serious aspect of the
Turkish situation is believed in well
informed circles here to be the re
sult of actions timed to synchronize
with the plans for a Germans coup d'
etat this spring. Enver Pasha is
knowrf to have been in Berlin re
cently in conference with German
leaders. He has been active in pro
moting Armenian massacres and in
planning the spread of the. Pan-Turanian
movement of ;the Turkish na
tionalists. During the world war he
was the main link between Berlin
and Constantinople. Whether he is
yet in Berlin is not known, but his
recent presence there has been defin
ately established, and is regarded
as having an important bearing on
developments in Asia Minor,.
The western front is not regarded
as being jeopardized by the present
situation at least not at present.
Military experts are confident that
Foch can handle the situation.
The great danger is believed to be
that the pext step in the development
or the iewnan reactionary plans, un
less they fail at this time, will be
development of an understanding
with soviet Russia with a view to in
dustrial and possibly military co
operation. -

New York, March 14. Good-
looking Kirls are warned to be care
ful in a letter introduced as evidence
in the divorce suit brought in Pat-

contest the suit. Francis Scott, spe
cial master in chancery, recommend
ed that the decree be granted.
The letter, which admitted that
the writer had left her husband to
become the "pampered doll" of a
milliona-re oil speculator, added:
"My beauty was fatal, my good
looks a detriment to my -being a
good wife." -
She ended with the hope that her
case would be an example to other
girls with good looks. s
Testimony showed that the Mc
Glades were married in 1911. . On

Prices of oil are rapidly mounting

A Jiirinw five vpar nn thp hpnrh.
Judge T. A. Norton of the San Luis
Obispo superior court has reacnea
the conclusion that modern mar
riage is a d-rt of shimmy dance in a
orrmt mauritv' of eases, and that the
climate of southern California is to
blame.
Judge ! Norton quotes learnedly
from ponderous tomes of unim
peachable authorities to prove his
point:
"We'd have .much less divorce if
we didn't have such excellent cli
mate. In a temperature of 40 de
grees below ro there is no such
thing as quarreling. Existence in a
ttistained. relativelv moderate de

Xorifv nt the individual is to sub
ordinate society and social welfare
to his own selfish ends, A warm
climate has the same ettect on we
tpnmoranicnt of the individual as
alcohol, wMiout the apathy that al
cohol creates.
Cold Prevents Quarrels.
"It is in tropical climates that are
fminrf the greatest extremes of li
centiousness and asceticism; in
semi-tropical climates, such as ours,
we have religious fanaticism and di
vorces; the licentious here concede
tt least that latter formality to so
cial decorum.
"The colder the climate, the less
tendency there is to quarrel and the
tVmrtpr the ranire of temoeramental
differences, until we reach the Es
kimos, who actually have no wfcrd
to signify quarreling.
"So far as my observation ex
tends the infidelity of women within
the marriage bonds is far greater
than that of men under the same
nri-iimitinrH. Women are experi
menters. Men are more easily satis
fied. ..
"From experience I have discov
ered the futility of attempting to
elicit any information other than
that contained in the complaint from
the plaintiff. Where the parties to
the action are young and there are
no children whose property rights
or future is involved it is useless to
attempt , to relieve . marital misery
with legal machinery.
Children art Sufferer.
"Lawstoever made people happy

"The chief evil of divorce is the
injury done to those innocent vic
tims of our hectic social life, -the
children. Some energy should be de
voted to teaching the rising genera
tion the'sacredness of the holy trini
ty of Lamartine the trinity of the
father, mother and child. We should
strive in the future to prevent rather
than to search for a panacea for
this ill." - '
In the meanwhile, with a record of
less than 1 per cent of divorces de
nied, San Luis Obispo promises to
become the Reno of California. .
Solution of Problem,
Says National C. of C.
Chicago Xrlbant-Omaha B taawd Wire,
Washington, March 14. - Seeing
in increased production a means oi
restoring normal business and price
conditions the chamber of commerce
of the 'United States, it was an
nounced, will make its eighth annual
meeting, to be held at Aalantic City,
April 27 to 29, an "increased produc
tion convention." t
Lack of production, the Chamber
of Commerce says, is one of the
chief causes of the high cost, of
living which cannot be reduced until
more goods are put on the market.
Prices have been forced up by
competitive bidding. This in turn has
made, necessary unusual wage in
creases with a sftll further rise in
manufacturing and production costs.
Even with the exchange as it is,
with its threatened curtailment of
exports to Europe, manufacturers
generally believe it will be' a long
time before production in the United
States catches up with the demand
for goods.

Germans About Strikes
(CoBtlsoad Yom Tnt Fa(.)
While adherence to the new gov
ernment has been promised by some
of the outside states, Saxony has
declared againstNt, and Bavaria,
Wurttemburg and Bsden have joined
in denouncing the movement.
The national party refused to have
relations with the Kapp government,
and the conservative leader, Count
Posadowsky, asserts that he will not
identify himself with the new chan
cellor. Hamburg and Darmstadt are
said to be irreconcilable. i
Hindenburg in Background.
Meanwhile one of the greatest
figures in the German national life,
Field Marshal von Hindenburg, has
kept himself in the background. His
former close associate, .General Lu
dendorff, credited - with being the
brains and moving spirit of the Ger
man army in its belligerent days,
has had a conference with the new
chancellor. What passed between
them is, of course, not known. It is
possible, however, that Von Hinden
burg, who is already a candidate
for the presidency, may loom large
before rvents take definite shape.
With the advent of the general
strike proclaimed throughout Ger
many by the independent socialists,
affiliated with the trade unions and
other organizations, Berlin is al
ready beginning to feel the pinch of
suffering again. The water supply
has been largely cut off and food is
scarce. Hotels are shutting down,
and. if the strike continues, mean
of transportation, both passenger
and freight, will be at an end.
Noskt Organizing Troops.
Gustav Noske, "minister of defense
in the Ebert government, is report
ed to be in Saxony organizing
troops. Noske has always been a
fighter, and there is reason to be
lieve that he will not accept the
present situation without drastic ac
tion in opposition to" it.
That Noske has troops still loyal
to him is indicated by the fact that
they have repulsed an attack against
them in their barracks at Frankfort,
Reports have been received from
that city of numerous casualties in
the fighting, but whether this was
between troops and militia, or be
tween troops and workmen, is not
definitely known.
People Discuss Situation.
The streets of Berlin exhibited
their customary Sundav asoect to
day. Unter Den Linden was
crowded; people gathered in the
sunshine to discuss the situation.
One of the main attractions con
sisted of barbed wire entanglements
near Wilhelmstrasse and field guns
and machine guns posted in front of
the military guard at the Branden
burg gate.
Towards noon, however, the
waiters in the hotels ceased to work,
and the guests who had not been
prudent enough to lunch early, had
to bunt food for themselves.
New Cabinet not Formed.
The new cabinet has not yet been
formed, but it is definitely known
that Dr. Traugott von Japow, for
mer chief of police of Berlin and a
notable reactionary, will be Prus
sian minister of the interior.
It is proposed for the present to
have only a two-man cabinet, or di
rectorate, composed of Dr. Wolf'
gang Kajip and Major General Bar
on von Luettwitz,
Minister of Transportation Osser
has informed Kapp that the railway
employes of Prussia objected to a
cabinet in which Kapp and Von
Jagow nre represented, and that if
they remained in office the entire
railway forces would strike.
Fifteen Persons Killed.
London, March 14. During the
fighting in Frankfort, IS persons
were killed and iuu wounded, says
an exchange Telegraph dispatch
trom Berlin.
The police were, compelled to
leave the town in consequence of
the mob seizing an arms depot, the
dispatch adds, .
Shots were exchanged between the
torpedo boats in the harbor and
workmen in the naval dock yard at
Mel Saturday afternoon, says a dis
patch to the Central News quoted
the Berlingske Tidende's Kiel cor
respondent, as confirming the sur
render of the German fleet. Ux-
nnes are now occupying the dock
yard. A general strike has been de
clared by all the workers, except
tnose in me gas ana water plants.
The City Was Quiet at Midnight
There were a half million people in
Under Den Linden during the day,
but no clashes with the. troops were
reported. The military patrols
seemed to have the situation well in
hand, but the real test of the situa
tion is expected to come Monday or
Tuesday when the general striked
probably will be in full swing.
Chancellor Kapp today told the
newspaper correspondents that the
government would not hesitate .to
supress .any insurrection by strik
ers. (.
As yet there is no visible political
support for the government, but re
ports indicate that the new govern
ment is winning the support of
troops in south Germany and that
its prestige has risen considerably
since Saturday.

ment. In connection with the Hearst
page of comment for Hearst as a
candidate the editor states his posi
tion in a manner which seems to
thrust aside the crown while at the
same time keeping a string oV it.
Wants Progressive Named.
Whether Mr. Hearst harbors any
thought of obtaining either the re
publican or democratic nomination
or contemplates leading a third
party is not entirely clear. He takes
the position that there would be no
occasion tor his candidacy it a
progressive should be nominated by
either the republican or democratic
parties.
"It may be possible," said Mr.
Hearst, "to secure the nomination of
a man like Senator Hiram W. John
son or Senator William E. Borah
on the republican ticket; or the
nomination of a man like Senator
James A. Reed or Cambridge
Colby, on the democratic ticket, if
the latter Should not submerge his
naturally progressive views in the
purely Wilson policies of the pres
ent administration. ,
Favors Third Party.
"If a thoroughly satisfactory pro
gressive could be nominated as the
candidate for president of one of the
old parties, it seems toie that the
best thing that progressive citizens '
can do is to unite solidly behind
such a candidate and absolutely in
sure his election."
Politicians have been watching
Mr. Hearst's maneuvers witli great
interest for several months. He has
condemned the Wilson administra
tion unsparingly, has apparently
taken himself out of the democratic
party and has devoted all his an
ergics to fostering thifd party move
ments with such materials as rali
cat labor, Plumb plan leagues and
other organizations of protest. His
maneuvers are designed to make Mr.
Hearst the logical candidate of a
third party. . '
