Jazz music as a dancing i accom

yesterday afternoon in the city coun

Board of Public Welfare conferred
informally with managers of public

" The " saxophone artist who plays
his, seductive instrument in.) a stand
ing position and cuts all manners of
didoes the while, will be required to
remain seated.
" "Jazz music is causing most of the
trouble in our dance halls,' said H.
I.. Brid ell, dance' inspector for the
Welfare board. "Cut out the jazz.
You can't blame 'the dancers if they
have, to follow the jazi , music. Sax
ophone players .should sit down
while playing. I saw a "crowd of
1.000 on a dance floor last summer
, and when the saxophone players
gave their stunts standing up, about
700 of the dancers followed the
- movements of these musicians,
i Players Standing Up Again.
"I have ordered the players to sit
down, but I find that in places they
are standing un again. No wonder
that some dancers make wieclv-
vobbly movements when they hear
tlUS Kind OI music aim onwivs uic
movements of these musicians. I am
going to make them sit down here
after.' "I suppose that I am the oldest
drncing teacher in Omaha," remark
ed J. M. Gaynor, "and I say that we
should cut out the jazz." . ..
"I also wish" they would cut it
out," asserted RMalvka, another
danc hall manager.
"I may know something about the
ology," said Rev. Edward Flanagan,
who presided at the meeting, "but I
"must admit that I don't know much
about this jazz musir"
Close Dancing Prohibited -
The attendants discussed-an exist
ing rule of the Board of Public Wel
fare, referring to positions of 'dancers
on the floor. -'The touching of
heads is positively prohibited," is one
of the rules.
.AV. L. Keep and Jiarry White il
lustrated, for the benefit of Welfare
board members the approved .posi
tions of dancers, and demonstrated
Thow easy it is for either of a danc
ing couple to assume an improper
, position.
"The woman does not have to
dance, close unless she wants to,"
said Mr. Keep. "It is all right so
long as the woman's hand is four
inches below tier partner's collar,
because you don't want her hanging
.... J .La MAf1an.4M0 n.1r .A
.woman sometimes has to hang on
firmly because her partner is a poor
dancer. One should dance from the
floor up, instead of from the waist
up. The swinging of hips from side
to side should be stopped." .
"Clinging Vines" Cause Trouble.
"What causes the trouble' is when
they wrap themselves around each
other," said Inspector Bridwell.
" Mr. White stated that the proprie-tics-of
tfny dance may be maintained
if the supervisor exercises his au
thority, according to a real moral
sense. He insisted that a conscien
tious supervisor is able to quickly
detect any improper dancing and
Should use his head to suppress the
improper practices. He urged that
clubs or groups renting dance halls
should be held responsible for their
dances. .
Mr. Keep suggested that all dances
' held in Omaha, except those at pri
vate homes, should be supervised by
the Board of Public Welfare and
that more supervisors be engaged
by the city."
Rule Remains in Force.
It was the consensus of opinion
that it would be unwiseo render
u-ss restrictive the following rule,
. which is now in force:

years shall frequent remain in or

Kleptomania Plea
Of Armv Officer
Man on Trial for Desertion
And Theft Placed On
Witness Stand.s
New York, Dec. 20. John I. Wil
lers, former captain of the 48tK in
fantry, now being tried by court
martail at Governor's Island for de
sertion and theft of more than $3,000
of his company's fund, after being
declared mentally competent at the
time of the alleged theft, according
to a decision of a board of medical
officers, took the witness 'stand in
his own behalf. Willers testified he
was born in the province of Hol
stein, Germany, in 1891, and from the
:ige of 10 years he -had a tendency
toward kleptomania. When he was
14 years old, he testified, he run
away, from home and as a con
sequence of his waywardness, his
family sent him to the-United States
in 1905. ,i
Willers said he traveled extensive
ly in this country and finally enlisted
in the United States army in At
bany. He purchased his discharge
in 1914. In 19?6,,he again joined the
army.
Later he was sent to the Platts
burg training camp, where he was
commissioned a captain of infantry.
Subsequently he was assigned to the
48th infantry and sent to Camp
Sevier. . .- j
Willers 'testified that after thi
armistice two Liberty bonds; belong
ing to the men in his company, were
entrusted to his keeping. This proved
too much of a temptation and the
following : day, he withdrew ' other
bonds and the company's fund from
the' bank. v
Mrs. Willers, wife-of the accused
officer, declared she met Willers in
Chicago in June, 1919 and the fol
lowing September they were married.
She recounted the alleged irrespon
sibility of her husband in business
affairs, and said that he always ap
peared greatly worried over some
thing that he would not confide to
her.
At the time of Willers' arrest the
police reported he made a confession
stating that he was detailed to the
United States in 1917 by German
military authorities to act as a spy
in' gathering data pertaining to the
organization of the American army.

Soviet Charged
pt to
Start Uprising
Representative of Trotzky Is
Working to Cause( Revolu
tion in Germany, Berlin
Paper Declares.
Berlin, Dec. 20. Victor Kopp, the
Russian soviet representative in Ber
lin, has been working under written
instructions from Minister of War
Trotzky to "do everything in his
power to bring about a revolution in
Germany and overthrow the present
government," it is charged by the
Pan-German Deucsche Zeitung in
last night's issue..
A photographic copy ot 1 rotzky s
letter with instructions to this effect
is tlow in possession of Foreign Min
ister Simons, the newspaper says,
and it makes a demand for the im
mediate expulsion or arrest of the
soviet representative.
According to the newspaper's in
formation, theitletter was written dur
ing the victorious march of the bol
sheviki amies toward Warsaw.
Since then, declares ths article, Kopp
has ,lrad every opportunity to visit
the Russian rr'son camps in Ger
many where 160,000 Russian prison
ers are held, approximately 120,000
of whom were captured duringt the
war and the remainder interned after
the bolsheviki drive into Poland.
The charges against Kopp were
made in connection with a national
interpellation in the -feichstag, which
charged that the "free and easy"
manner in which the Germans were
managing the Russion prison camps
under iheimperial department of
fered a fertile field for propaganda.
Dr. Simons declined to go into de
tails before the reichstag, but said
the evidence against Kopp was in
sufficieent to warrant government
action. The interpellation, however,
rrsnltpd in an order that these camDS
hereafter be under the authority of
the ministry of defense.
The Kreuse Zeitung ana tne
Deutsche Zeitung have been ham
mering the administration steadily
lor several weeks on the ground
that the Hussion prisoners m Ger
manv "in realitv formed a body'
truard for Kopp and they alleged
that bolsheviki progagandists in ev-
every camp have been working vir
tually unmolested. These organs
exoressed belief that the German
government will be endangered un
less steps are taken at once to
remove the menace.

Chicago, Dec. 20. A motor truck,
four automobiles, and 21 persons,
figured in a series of accidents at
Forty-third street and Grand boule
vard shortly after midnight, and the
casualties were none.
The show started when an auto
mobile owned by A. ' Whiting-was
driven up to the curb filling Station
of the Lakeside garage by Miss
Whiting, his daughter. In the car
were Miss Helen O'Neill, Roy
Huntsberger, and a Mr. Hedgecock.
Huntsberger was aiding the night
watchman to fill the tank when
Arthur Ahem drove up in a big
touring car. .
Ahem ran into the front wheel of
the Whiting car and his machine
turned over. None of the occupants
suffered more than minor scratches.
The impact shunted the Whiting
automobile ba.ck into a tree, bowling
over Huntsberger.
A crowd gathered. A car drove
by and knocked down a young man
looking at the wrecked cars. He got
up, limping a n"ttle. The driver
stopped, offered the young man a
ride home which was accepted and
drove off.
By this time a wrecking truck had
arrived to take r.way Ahern's car.
As it started to leave a "Henry"
came along, driven by Joseph Smith,
and filled with five musicians..
lr. Smith slammed into the truck
and the ''Henry's" nose caved in
spilling water, grease and oil over

only sufferer physically.

Washington, Dec. 20. The pro

12,865,000 tons, the United States
geological survey reports. The dut
put.of the bituminous mines for the
49 weeks of the year was 525,403,000
tons. If this rate of production is
maintained during the succeeding

The production during the week
of December 11 was the 10th in the
period of sustained mine output
which has been equalled only once

s .
RoanOke, Va., Dec. 20. William
Porter and Charles Carter, captured
by Roanoke police in the early morn
ing erf-November 19 a few hours
after the Bank of Glasgow, Va., was
robbed of $'16,253 in liberty bonds
and securities, were placed on trial
here, today.
In a pitched battle on TSc outskirts
of Roaivbkc, James -B. Rodgers of
Philadelphia, driving a large touring
automobile, was killed by the police
and his companions. Porter, who
bears the aliases of William Welsh
and Bcllfontaine "Slini," and Carter
whose -alias is Charles WilkcsVcrc
arrested.
Much of the loot as found in the
automobile. The police had been in
formed of the robbery by the Glas
gow bank ohicials. at i o clock in
the morning and immediately set
wajich on the three roads from tha't
place.
Auto Turns Over.
When intercepted on one of the
roads an hour later the automobile
was going at high speed and turned
turtle when 'an effort was made to
swerve around the police patrol
which had beefl placed across 'the
road.
In the battle which followed
Rodgers was killed and a police
man WQunded. About 50 shots were
exchanged between the authorities
and the bandits. In the automobile
was found" a quart Aask of nitro
glycerin carefully packed in cotton
in a wooden box.
Although all the loot was identi
fied as belonging to the Glasgow
bank, local police maintained that
the men were responsible for rob
beries in 'Virginia, North Carolina,
Georgia and Tennessee. In addition
to the valuables the three men had
about $1,600 in cash. . Half of "this
was found on Porter on his second
day in jail when he, refused to take
a bath. '
Identity Still Mystery.
Baltimore authorities claim to
have identified Porter as a "yeggman
ot il years standing," who was ar
rested there by federal postal in
spectors inJ909.
Carter told the police his real
name is Wilkes and gave Peters
burg, Va., as his home. The iden
tity of Rodgers remains a mystery,
although scores of people viewed
his body. The only clue the police I
rave is a statement or sorters tnat
Rodgers told him his name was
Beale. Porter added that he knew
Rodgers only a week before the
Glasgow robhery. V .
Bank officials and others have in-r
terviewed the men in jail here ttut
failed to obtain any information
connecting them with any other
than the Glasgow robbery. It was
thought they might have been im
plicated in the robbery of the Bapk
of Mineral, Va., when, more than
300,000 worth of Liberty bonds
and other securities were taken, and
the Landisville, Pa., bank robbery
in which three mon overpowered the
watchman and tcok $100,000. f
