Arthur Murray, Famous Instructor In
Dancing, Gives Hta Views Concern
ing the Dance and Its Control.
'Arthur lurfay, authority on danc
ing. Who Is In the city, last night made
the following statement to The
Citizen: ,
"I believe that the Ashevllle com
missioners have taken u forward step
in attempting to better the dancing
conditions In this city. I fear how
ever, that their efforts will have gone
to waste unless they make laws which
will be really constructive. There is
no doubt but that a dance reform is
necessary. But we cannot reform
dancing by attempting- to prohibit
dancing entirely. Such a trUnR is im
possible. People have danced for over
a thousand years and we cannot sud
denly change the world.
"The Asheville authorities ran pro
hibit dancing in Asheville, but what
will be the result? Do the commis
sioners want to take the responsibil
ity of the dreadful effects of mid
night joy rides? It is inevitable; the
voting people will go to Hendrrson
vllle and other out of town places to
dance and they will come home late.
When away from home, the hnys may
take something to drink and their
trips home may be unsafe. Would It
not be far better to have the young
people dance in Ashevlllo since dance
they will?
"Will It pay Asheville to sto on
record as a danccless resort ? The re
sort people are pleasure-loving and
want amusement. Will they come to
Ashevllle if t'ney hear that It is a
"dead town?" Will it pay the Roard
of Trade to spend thousands of dol
lars in advertising to bring the tour
ists here and then have them go to
Hendersonvtlle or to other places out-
fide of the city limits, One woman at
the Battery Park stated yesterday
t hat the moral effect of the present
dance ordinance would be demoral
izing.. Since talking with her. I am
inclined to think that public dancing
places are not such naa places atter
all if they are properly chaperoned
and properly regulated,
"I have always been opposed to
public dance halls because the idea
of paying an admission to dance in a
public place has always been dis
tasteful to me. Also, they arc
usually so loosely conducted. But
there is another side: If we prevent
public dances, the people who have
no other way of dancing will congre
gate in private unchaperoned parties,
and these may not always be very re
lined. I am afraid that the "private"
(lances, utterly without chapcrones,
Iwill be much worse than where the
dancers arc In full view of a large
' rowd. The "private" parties are apt
to be rather immoral, whereas a pub
lic dance can be made as decent as
the authorities wish. It is merely a
nutation of dance regulation. We
gain nothing by dance prohibition be
cause such a thing is impossible of
performance.
"The present ordinance is also too
drastic, I believe, to be effective. A
law which antagonizes people, a law
which does not meet with popular
favor, cannot hope for an uplifting
rffect. After all. Is not this law in
tended to uplift, in a way? I un
derstand that according to this ordi
nance, musical comedies which con
tain dancing are under the ban.
Shrine dances and all club dances
are taboo. In other words, no one
will be permitted to dance. Is this
not a bit too severe for an American
public?
"The dancing teacher, too, comes
tinder the ban. Taking it for grant
ed that the Asheville people will go
elsewhere to dance, would it not be
better if they learned to dance prop
erly instead of "picking up" freak
ish contortions? No decent dancing
teacher, and a teacher must be de
tent to exist, will tolerate or en
murage Improper dancing. The in
structor, of dancing, as . well as all
others who have at heart the best In
terests of art and dancing, does his
best to keep people from doing the
) foolish innovations. Some teachers
K'i so far as refusing to even teach
the new dances. No dancing teacher
an afford to encourage any dancing
but that which is best for the com
munity. He is the biggest factor in
dunce reform. Why then should we
attempt to keep him from his work
hen he Is really a constructive help
in the welfare of our social life. If
li was possible to make yeople stop
dancing, then there might be a good
reason to ftop the dancing teacher,
otherwise we need him to keep the
people dancing the proper way.

lit THE MBOCUTIuD PR6S:
CHICAGO, July :. -The first in
ternational court of commercial ar
bitration established in the United
States, toward which the interest of
thousands of business men and law
yers has been keenly directed, is now
one month old and has heard a total
of 12 cases.
Friends of the new "trade court"
point with gratification to this first
month's record, more especially be
cause of the strenuous opposition
which it has encountered on the part
of certain elements of the bar and the
established courts of law. This an
tagonism sprang from a feeling that
the trade court constituted an en
croachmen upon their rightful do
main. The trade court, functioning as an
arm of the local association of com-
merce distributes justice with much
the same informality and directness
that characterized the tribunals of
tribal days. Without the aid of "hear
ye's" or summonses, depositions or
baillfs, the evidence is heard and the
ease decided. The litigants, such as
in one case where a manufacturer
situated In New York and a retailer
located in Chicago, pursue their re- i
sportive businesses Just as If nothing
unusual at all were happening, while
the court, which is "ambulatory,"
graviates between New York and Chi
cago gathering the testimony, and, in
the regular course of its business day,
without pomp, renders its decision.
The "trade court" was made possi
ble officially by the Mate legislature,
after it. had been advocated by the
Chicago Credit Men's association, the
National Credit Men's association and
Chief Justice Harry Olson of the mu
nicipal court of Chicago.
The final test of its validity oc
c tirred later when a test rase was
taken to the stale supreme court
i rough the act ' U" J the Chicago us-
sr. irttion of comm-'W-j and a favorable
ru'lng resulted.
Advocates of the trade court point
out, neither party to controversy has
had to appear as a witness in open
court, no Important trade secrets have
been aired before competitors, no ex
pensive fees have been paid out to
attorneys, no obnoxious or harmful
publicity has been incurred, and the
verdict has been rendered with the
same disputch thut marks the daily
decisions in the conference ' room of
any well-conducted business.
Any civil case now tried in the es
tablished courts of the United States,
except a divorce action, may come
before the trade court: the supreme
court if Illinois has sustained its le
gality under the new arbitration and
awards act, and has defined It au
thority as extending to any question
of fact as dlntingulshed from ques
tions of law. Should a Dolnt of law
be involved in a case, a law court
may advise the decision. But the
trade court also has powers which a
court of law has not; it may define
the rights of both parties under a
contract where no action has yet ac
crued, even though a court of law
could not entertain an ordinary suit
until damages had acrued for breach
or non-fullfilment of contract; it may
disregard the letter of the law and de
cide according to the equities of the
parties should a mutual error in the
contract be found where ordinary
court procedure would require filing
of a bill In equity to enforce the contract.
The scope of the trade court lur-
isdiction is the wide world. A manu
facturer in Liverpool who has a tiff
over a merchandise settlement with a
tradesman in Hong Kong may have
his case adjudicated Iik Chicago, al
thought the merchandise didfUt even
enter the United States-Merely the
agreement of both parties to the ac
tion brings it before the trade oourt.
The court manager, .1. Kent Green,
is the only paid employe, and Is re
tained by the Chicago association of
commerce. All fees collected goes to
the association; where not more than
$200 is Involved the fee is $7.60, where
more than $200 and less than $1,000
the fee Is $10, where the amount ex
ceeds $1,000 a fee 0f $10 la exacted,
plus a special fee equivalent to 2 per
cent on the first extra thousand, 1
per cent on each additional thousand
and one-half of one per cent on all
over five thousand.
The costs are met by the unsucces
ful contestant unless otherwise ar
ranged. The corrollary advantages offered
by the court are summerized In a
statement by its manager: "The trade
court gives the poor man a chance.
The man who has no friends, who
can't give bail when arrested is al
most Inevitably brought to trial for
the reason that he cannot legally be
held In durance for more than three
months. The rich man on the ether
hand, who can readily furnisn ba'l,
stands an excellent chanec of escap
ing trial altogether, since in tne mass
of cases constantly crowding the' cal
endar Ihe bail cases are habitually
shoved aside, and often lost alto
gether. There are cases in the crim
inal court in Chicago that have been
hanging Are for eight years. And
when a case becomes as old as that
it is almost impossible to secure a
conviction.

TOM WATSON ASSAILS
U. S. RESERVE BOARD
UNION CITY, Ga., July 4 Ad
dressing the annual rally and barbe
cue of the Georgia Farmers' union
here today, United States Senator
Thomas E. Watson attacked the fed
eral reserve board in Washington,
charging It with waging warfare on
American business.
Quoting from figures given by John
Skelton Williams, former comptroller
of the currency the senator declared
the federal reserve board for the last
10 months had conducted war against
American business as "ruthless, fright
ful and destructive as the Germans
conducted on land and sea." He
said the destruction of values caused
by the contraction of the currency by
the board without notice or warning
had amounted to about thirty-one bil
lion dollars.
Senator Watson also made a strong
appeal to the Georgia legislature to
provide during the present session for
free school books in the common
schools.
