FLAYS •DISPLAY OF BARE LEGS IS HURTFUL,' Dr.WALDRON

WASHINGTON, D. C- Feb. I.—<P. N. S.)—"Folk-dancea taught our little children in the mu& schools are not free from dangerous and hurtful tendencies," declared Dr. Wal-Sron in an address to a local Ministerial association l a s t Friday afternoon. ''The high kick, displaying bare legs and arms of ©ar little girls hi the presence of svim small boys, cannot honestly be i;aid to tend to beget in those chil­dren the highest sense of modesty, purity, so greatly prized in our wo­men. Folk dancing engenders in yo'ing children a desire for a dance that is more exciting," he continued.

I Feeders of Brothels **Th§ folk dances become the way

and door to the dancing school; the dancing school is the feeder to the daace hall and public ball room and these inturn, load to the brothel, the drinking places and gambling dens. Statistics show that rrcm one-third to two-thirds of the prostitutes in our large cities come from the pub­lic dance halls and ball rooms.

Hon by myself and other ministers, of the attendants at tne public darrce Jialls in this city of Saturday after­noons and holidays reveals the fact that by far the large majority of female participants at those places, and at these times, are young girls

between the ages of IS and 18—pre­sumably school girls—and that their male partners in the dances are, in most cases, men ranging in age from SO to 60; and if we sre to judge from the appearance and con-duet of the majority of these men they are anything but decent.

Conditions Growing Worse "Dance halls and attendance there

opon in this city are on the increase and the conditions surrounding most of these places ami the conduct of those who frequent them, are grow­ing morally worse each year. Some­thing must be done to eventually put dancing out of the public schools —an inducement to evil practices and evil thinking.'*

Son Killed, Aged Father Leaves Sooth

WASHINGTON, D. C , Fab. 8 ^ -Hrs. Mayme M. White, of 1422 Q street, northwest, a teacher In the District public schools, has returned from Mehlinger, Mississippi, where she spent five weeks aiding her father, Mr. Ferd Mehlinger, to wind up his business affairs preparatory to moving away from there. Ear father came with her.

Mr. Mehlinger decided to lei.ve Mehlinger, Mississippi, as the result of the killing of his son, James E. Mehlinger, on December 22 last, from ambush by unknown parties. He disposed of all of his personal ef­fects Last Thursday at a great sac­rifice. He was engaged in the gen­eral mercantile businecs.

The widow and four little daug^h-i ters of the late James E. Mehlin­ger are at Rosedale, Mississippi, with her parents, but arrangements are being made to purchase a home for them in Memphis where she will be near her sister.

Mr. Mehlinger and his wife, Mrs. Catherine Mehlinger, are making their home for the present with their son, Louis R. Mehlinger, at 2309 Eleventh street, northwest. He con­templates re-establishing himself in business, but is undecided as to whether he will locate here or in the middle w e s t

000 debts outstanding and a credit of only $6,000. Most of this Garvey admitted under cross-examination by Attorney Armin Kohn.

The Black Star line, according to Garvey's testimony in court, was or­ganised "in sentiment" in April, 1914, "with thirtee** members" pres­e n t Gifts of from, one to $25 were made on this occasion, he said. Six weeks later the Black Star line was incorporated with 200 members present

In his summation Garvey blamed the troubles of the concern on As­sistant District Attorney Kilroy who, he said, prompted Sy Edgar Grey, Richard T. Warner and oth­ers, hounded Mm and summoned him to his office with the express inten­tion of handicapping his efforts.

Garvey declared that the Black Star line was a spiritual movement, but Attorney Mattuck in his sum­mation said that if Garvey was a spiritual leader then "Jesse James belonged to the Hall of Fame." He also denounced Garvey's use o f the names of great Negroes." I yield to no one," said Mattuck, "in respect for Phyllis Wheatley, Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington and others. They were fine people, splendid people. How they must turn in their graves when Garvey makes use of their names in this 'spiritual' movement of his.

Judge Mack declares: "In bringing their verdict was

abundantly justified; when the company in a hopeless condition the defendant had people to put their money in, even though knew that condition." Deportation proceedings have

already been started against Gar­vey to return him to the West In­dies at the expiration of his term, which includes one-third off for good behavior.

Mrs. Amy Ashwood Garvey, first wife, who is suing him for divorce, blames his downfall on his asso­ciates.

"I warned him five years she said, 'fbut he would not to me. He preferred the flatteries of those who later became his bit­terest enemies."

and the following cajoling, cowardly letter, which in point of courage and fearlessness, makes Harriett Beech-er Stowe's character favorite rival the heroism of a valiant warrior.

Honorable C, Bascom Slemp, Sec­retary to the President, White House. "Dear Mr. Slemp i "Parting often is sweet sorrow.

Your leaving the White House, as secretary to the President, bur-dens this group of your friends with a sense of sorrow, near ap­proaching desolation. No group

^of citizens needed a friend near­est the President as this group of your friends, and no group was ever more loyally ana sympathet-ally kept in mind by you than we. Our political tasks before the elec­tion and during the eleetion be­came a pleasure and not a burden for the reason that you had made them so.

"In whatever field you may go feel assured that you have the prayers, the sympathy and the co­operation of every thoughtful col­ored man.

"Allow us to beg that you ac­cept this frail toktn as a mark of appreciation of your distinguished service to the country, your indis­pensable and loyal support of the Republican party and the Presi­dent of the United States, and your splendid sympathy for us fellows lower down in the Ameri­can equation.i We admire you, we love you; we shall always admire you and we shall always love you.

"Most sincerely, Henry Lincoln Johnson, Perry W. Howard, John D. Gainey, Arthur G. Froe, John T. Risher, Alphonso J. Harris, L. R. Mehlinger. f

insist that "Line" and his compan­ions are somewhat perturbed over the unrest and agitation caused by their "act of appreciation," and are cloaking the reason for their gen- ! erosity under the vague explanation, "We are misunderstood."

"Just how these 'fearless' leaders can so soon forget Mr. Slemp's "Lily White" tactics is more than we can understand," said one old Washing-tonian,

"Perhaps Mr. Slemp has, In a measure, dispelled this notion by his j i s a s cordial reception of our race at the " ""•^•l

White House, but hardly to the ex­tent of such phrases as 'We LOVE | j i l t « «HMcaiijwr biB» YOU,' or 'YOUR LEAVING BUR-! | » P l t l « S I DENS THIS GROUP WITH A C f f S , SENSE OF SORROW APPROACH- i f ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ U S 4 * ING DESOLATION!' That sounds' too much like tweedling," he said.

Mr. Slemp left at midnight last Tuesday for Florida where he will spend two weeks. He will return to Washington and enter the prac­tice of law. His successor, Repre­sentative Everett Senders, of Indi­ana, will not formally take over the new office until after his term in Congress ends, March €. In the meantime, Edward T. Clark, person­al secretary to the President, is per­forming the work just laid down by Mr. Slemp.

say regarding the story in the Pitts­burgh Courier last week linking her name with the sensational case of Mrs. Edna Jones of Pittsburgh. .

Mrs^ Fretweli's tone indicated that she had plans at work of her own by which she expected to break even with the detectfives responsible for the story.

"Are you planning to file suit against anybody?" she was asked. "I am answering no questions and making no statements," she replied.

"In case you file suit, it will very likely be against the detectives ?T' she was again asked. "The detec­tives are not alone responsible for the story," she replied. "The peo­ple who printed it are just as much responsible as the, detectives.

Talking further Mrs. Fretwell stated: "The White Rose Home is 28 years old and this is the first time there has ever been any scan­dal connected with it in any way. It is true Mrs. Jones stayed here for a while, but she was a perfect lady while she was in this house. I cart-not say what she did while she was not in this house. And that story

», | linking my name witiy-rfte affair was just awful. /

Cincinnati PaperComments The Union, a Cincinnati publica­

tion, in its issue.of January 31, com­ments on the Jones ca. fi. It was in Cincinnati the pastor first met his present wife. The Union says:

The Union regrets that the mar­riage of Rt'v. \V. Augusti«s Jones and wife had such a sad ending 'Tis said that marriages are made in Heaven. If true their union should have been doubly blessed since the courtship began in th e

Union Baptist Church of this city, of which at that time the distin-

Siishcd Clergyman was pastor, ow well we recall that fatal Sun­

day when the charming young woman sat spellbound by the elo­quence of the Pastor, how she lift­ed up her voice in soulful singing, sounding the glories of the golden streets in the New Jerusalem, how she fell convicted and arose con­verted. To her Jones was another Paul. She forsook the cabaret over which she reigned as queen.

His church members, free from the delirious intoxication that cer­tain kinds of love produces, looked not kindly upon this infatuation of their pastor, even though it be­gan in church. They gazed upon the beautiful long hair of Dr. Jones and thought of Samson. They watched the lovely idol of his heart and thought of Delilah. The Rev. gentleman was game. He preached a sermon that shook the very stones of Union Baptist Church. His text was:

John VIII Chapter, Verse 7. After that only whispers were

heard. But, alas, those who pro­phesied dire and disaster can now hold up their heads and gladly chirp: "I TOLD YOU SO."

It seem3 passing strange that so many ministerial magnates and potentates are mixed In this mat­rimonial mess. Probably the "un-kindest cut of all" arises from the fact that HERE IN THIS TOWN,

WHERE SHE WAS MARRIED; ONE OF OUR PARSONS,

AROUND HER TARRIED. A prominent Baptist minister of

the West End' seems to have en­tered this Eden of Cincinnati's former pastor.

That so many preachers are In­volved in this great scandal indi­cates that they did not want any sinners to enjoy the blessings with which their fellow pastor's bride seems to have been by nature so abundantly endowed, and which she by inclination so generously distributed. The trial will soon take place.

He was first sent to the Gallinger hospital, but was later transferred to St. Eliza­beth's. Since he has been held his wife has been a frequent visitor, carrying him cigarettes and writing paper and clothes.

The fuss made over him marry­ing a colored girl is about to get the better of him. He has concluded that an annulment of the marriage would be the best thing. In a let­ter post-marked January 21, 1925, and written from the Gallinger Hos­pital, he said:
