IVcw Srasatloa Bp rung.
Another sensational feature of the
more than two hours of heated de
bate came when Dr. Guy Fitch Phelps,
pastor of Bellwood Methodist church,
following a question asked of L. D.
.Mahone, a Methodist layman, ."Is
there one girl of 12 years or under
in any public home here whom you
an produce who traces her downfall
directly to a school dance?"
Leaping to his feet. Dr. Phelps
shouted to the members of the board:
If you wasit us to present to the
board a 12-year-old girl who has been
ruined in a Portland public school
dance and who Is now In a home here
we will accept the contract. Will you
abolish school dances when we do it?"
Frank L. Shull rose to his feet and
signified his Intention of saying
something, but the uproar was so
great that, for a time, the gavel,
wielded vigorously by Chairman
New-Ill, failed to restore quiet and Mr.
Shull sat down. However, various
members of the hoard later said that
I' the charges preferred by the min
isters and laymen are proved they
vi ill act to protect tha morals of the
students.
Proof la Requested.
At the close of the meeting; Chair
man Newill announced that the board
will expect the proof of charges laid
formally before the directors to be
filed by next Thursday night, Riving
one week for the dance opponents tc
prepare thet data and affidavits,
which, according to Dr. Wilson and
Mr. Mahone, they will do.
A great crowd of men and women
Intermingled with boys of high school
go, was on hand eanly and when

Clvarlus W. McCaughey, naator of
Cc.ratnary-Wlilbur Muthodlst church,
took the ila.tform and outlined the
attitude of the Methodist Kpiscopal
church, which, he said, was largely
that of others of the opponents of thw
dwnoea.
Attack la Dfnlnl.
Dr. McCaughey briefly explained
tlfat the ministers and laymen in mak
ing the charges were not Intentionally
Attacking the Parent-Teacher asso
ciations. They had learned, he said,
h rr all the high schools In the I
city but one is supervised as to its
dances by the Parent-Teacher circle
and that of some 80 grammar schools,
there were circles in but 40. lie de
nied having any fight with the-circles
as such and proceeded to state the
case from the viewpoint of the op
ponents. "Our attitude," he said, "Is that, in
permitting these school dances, this
lioard la undoing what we are en
deavoring to teach In our homes and
churches. We are protesting against
the use of public school property for
a purpose which we believe subverts
the purpose for which our churches
atand. To teach our children it is
wrong to dance and then be com
pelled to see them brought Into an
environment in our public schools
which undoes what we are endeavor
ing to do ia objectionable to a large
number of people. In a sense, our
young people are compelled to go to
these dances.
HUara (Jreet1 Statement.
Derisive demonstration, with hisses,
rreeted this statement before It was
finished, and Dr. McCaughey appealed
to the board for order, which was
quickly restored.
"By reason of the environment, by
means of the influences which sur
round pupils, as you all know, we
find this works a great hardship upon
the children whose parents are trying
to teach them right llviing, according
to the standard believed by them to
lie of greatest moral force.-' Dr. Mc
.Caughey continued. "We have heard
a great deal about these dances being
chaperoned, but supposing they are
what kind of an Institution is It that
requires so many chaperons? What
are we building up In our midst and
what are going to be the conse
quences? Mrs. Hill of the parent
teacher circles said last night that
our amusements have nothing to do
with our religion, but we assert this
to be a grave mistake, and we are
going to enforce our convictions in
this regard if possible; if not with
this board's consent, we are prepared
to go further, but hope It will be un
necessary." Pointed Questions Asked.
Asked pointed questions as to his
personal knowledge of alleged im
moral conduct or Immorality resulting
from school dances. Dr. McCaughey
defied the board. Directors Shull and
Woodward had sought to draw from
him definite Information, such as
names, dates, and places.
"We are presenting our case to this
board in our own way." said Dr. Mc
Caughey. "and, personally I will say
that I come here representing a po
sition of some importance In this city
and that I do not intend to be told
what to do or what 1 shall say. This
board will have all the facts In our
possession at the right time, but we
are not going to divulge names before
this large crowd. We are In this
fight and are determined to stand by
until we go to court of last resort If
necessary."
Dr. Wilson had arrived meanwhile,
and when he mounted the platform to
read the charges- which had been re
quested by the board to be presented
in writing, every eye was centered
upon him. As ha read, applause or
jeers, as his words appealed to the
two factions, were frequently heard,
despite the chairman's cries for order.
In his sutement. Dr. Wilson read
that no metliigs of a nature to sftJr
up a contpoveire-y, eiuch as religious
or political ones, were permitted In the
publio schools and said tha In a city
wlK-re a board of education was so
scrupulously careful about such fea
tures, including the exclusion of the
ftudy of the Kit'., "th claMic of the

It was explained by Directions Clark
ajid Woodward that K has) boem the
policy of the board for a long time
to permit anything to be held in tha
sohool buildkiga tha.t ia of a nature
snich as Dr. WUaon memticcsd. Dr.
Wilson said that he "guessed the
change had come, since his former
activities In Portland," as. he said, he
had "always been compelled to hold
meetings on the outside, even a purity
meeting."

world authority on the subjects, says
"Younr lo-ve&r-old atriDllncs are forced
by the dance Into an Intense sexual
development Instead of experiencing the
normal slowly awakening sex conscious
ness." The Introduction of dancing In our
schools brings all this abnormal strain

a vast majority of Christian
who, he said, are in public homes in
Portland and vicinity, perhaps 60 per
cent or whom had started their down
ward careers at dances.
School dances, in Portland? Inter
rupted Air. Woodward.
"Part of them," replied Mr. Mahone.
"What part?" ' insisted Mr. Wood
ward. "I cannot state that just now, was
the reply, "for I ha.ve not sufficient
data to justify & definite reply, but
some of these girls traced their ruin
to dances In Portland schools.
Chairman Newill Interjected an in
terrogation as to the proportion of
these girls who had been in school
dances, with the same result, and It
was agreed that Mr. Manors will in
clude in the affidavits to bs submit
ted to the board within the week one
on this subject.
Sex Influence Discussed.
. Mr. Mahone then discussed, In de
tail the influence of dancing- upon the
sexes and read authorities showing;
the dance contact to be banefuL He
submitted a list of textbooks on this
subject for(the directors to study in
arriving- at their verdict, declared It
is "costing $1,000,000 a year in Ore
Ron to Administer to the unfortunates
who are polluted by the dance, and
asserted that it should be the duty of
all to furnish constructive sports,
preferably In the open, such as foot
ball, baseball and other forms of ath
letics, and said that the Methodist
church has three great community
enterprises on foot in Portland now
to that end.
Asked by Mr. Woodward to name
any high school dance he had ever
attended or heard positive informa
tion of where there was immorality,
he named one he said he visited at the
Hotel Portland some time ago while
he was waiting for another appointment.
It was disgraceful," he declared.
"But It was not a high school
dance," retorted Mr. Woodward.
"It certainly wa, for I aw boys
I knew from Jeffeirsoin high sohooU'
Mr. Mahone replied.
School I)anr Defined.
Mr. Woodward later a-ro&e uil aaked
those pres-en to keep fully Ln mind
that any dance held outside of a
school building Is not a sohool dance,
! any stRse of the word," and City
Supseirintft-aidenat Grout read the rule
adopted by the boa.rd in 1920, calling
for supeirvisK! at these detinues.
"You are indicting school children,
Mr. Ma-hoine," aod-d Mr. Woodward,
"a.nd you should be careful wlutt you
charge."
"The dance Mr. Mahone saw at (the
Portland hoted has nothing to do with
this boaird, for it waa next a school
dainco," said Chaiirman NewiU.
"It has someit'hiLng to do wlfh the
sohool da-nce," a hot back Mr. IS La hone,
"for it shows tha.t childine-n aire scent
ing In at these deunceo and from them
go from place to place and aire in
grave peril,"
Whem further pressed to duscle
how many girls aire in pub-Lie homes
here beoa use of sc hool dan ceo, Mr.
Mahone said he would submit da-ta.
Statement In Cheered.
You stated last night there are
400 such girls." commented Mr. Woodward.
"Not as a result, though, of school
dances entirely," said Mr. Mahone.
"Well, is there one girl?" asked Mr.
Thomas "If there is one girl of
12 years or younger, as you have
charged, it would mean, so far as I
am concerned, that, even though I
stood alone, I would vote to abolish
the school dances." Applause greeted
this statement, both sides joictng in.
It was regarding this statement
that Dr. Phelps, next to speak, hurled j
his challenge at the board.
"The dance is a dance, anywhere,"
said Dr. Phelps, 'and if it will defile
people In one ballroom it will defile
them in another, and it would defile
them ln this auditorium. Every kind
of a dance ruins someone.
mnn Greet Remark.
Hisses greeted this remark, and Dr.
Phelps, standing even more erect than
before, faced his audience, leveled a
finger at te direction from whence
came the hisses and saidi: "There are
but two kinds of beings who hiss "
"Bang!" went th travel and Dr.
Phelps df not conclude his sentence.
Instead, he dwelt upon the inluence
cf the dsince, excoriating it and the
music that goes with it. He deplored
anything, he said, which had to hare
chaperones, and concluded by saying:
"I believe the gentlemen of this
board are confronted with a grave,
secret, subtle conspiracy to bring our
public school system into disrepute
and to ruin it."
Xr. W. B. Hinson. pastor of the
East Side Baptist church, explained a
resolution adopted by his church last
Sunday riitrht. asking prohibition of
school dances, and cited instances
coming to his personal knowledge
where the school dance had not been
the right kind.
Dancing; It Defended.
"As a preacher, I do not believe that
dancing ever made anyone better or
helped anything," paid Dr. Hinson. "As
a father. I do not like it to be taught
in schools where my children must go,
and as a Baptist, I must be against
It, for was it not a dancer who brought
about the beheading of John the Bap
tist?" -
Irving Brown of Frankl.n high
school: Deans of Women Wilson of
Franklin, Skinner of Jefferson, Gra
ham of the Girls' Polytechnic: Hugh J.
Boyd, principal of Washington high
school; Miss Armitage, a teacher in
Washington hlffh; Robert Mautz, for
four years a student at Washington;
Mrs. George G. Root of Franklin parent-teacher
circle, and others defended
the dances, saying they were familiar
with them and that they are no', im
moral. Director Clark, referring to a state
ment that "no dance ever did any
good." mentioned the one at the mu
nicipal auditorium the previous ever
nlng, when $5000 wa3 obtained for
the unemployed.
Authority I Aaked.
"What's your authority?" queried
some one from the opposite side.
"The Tillamook school board." was
the reply, which brought forth ap
plause. Mrs. Mary Mallett. representing the
Women's Christian Temperance union,
took the platform against the dance.
Others who defended the dance were
Mrs. W. H. Bathgate, president of the
P-f tland Parent - Teacher council;
Mrs. J. F. Hill, Executive Secretary
Henderson of Community Service;
H. M. Grant, executive secretary of
the Oregon Social Hygiene society,
speaking only for himself; and Mrs
E. W. Charles, vice-president of the
State Parent-Teacher association.
The written charges filed with the
board last night were as follows:
To the honorable members of the school
board. Portland, Or. t
We, your petition, dffllre to set forth
before you our objections to the Intro
duction or the continuance of the danco
as a public Institution Into th school
buildings uniT your control.
First, all social workers, reformers, and
relitfloua directors have become unit
evangelical churches, have convictions
upon the matter that cause tbem to seek
to regulate the conduct of their young
people. Their Ideal seems to be to keep
the very young from participating in the
social dance until they reach an age
of accountability and solidity of character
wnen tney are adequately equip pea
judge and decide for themselves. But the
introduction of dancing into the grammar
school grades has brought the age down
irom the high teens to below ten, ana
it is significant that Just in proportion
that the city gives itself to this erroneous
mode of education, delinquency among
girls drops, as it has done in Portland,
from 17 years to frequent cases of 10
to 13 years.
Statistics carefully gathered by the
Woman's Protective association, an official
branch of our polios service, attributes WO
per cent of the delinquency among tha
fallen women and girls to early dancing;
and the consultation with the 11 women
specializing ln this department gives us
this consensus of opinion, namely, that
they think the dance is the greatest
menace to the girls of our city of any con
tributory cause of delinquency. Tha dance
of taa school projects the child who would
escape this dangerous experiment, into tha
midst of It years before It would come
normally.
Church Should Not IHctate.
Third. Our public schools are maintained
by the process of taking all, and there is
a law of compulsory education enforced
among all families. We do not believe
that the church should dictate to the
state or the school concerning the process
of secular education: nor la there any ef
fort to da ao. But we cannot consider that
the public school should be so conducted
as to break down the morals the Chris-1
tian parents seek to maintain in their :
home life, nor to make teachers who are
opposed to dancing participate ln any re
sponsibility for it. nor to embarrass tha
children who come from homes that have
these ideals and must secure their educa
tlon in our public schools. The testimony
that we secure concerning this matter
Is that children of the homes who do not
believe ln dancing have been embarrassed
throughout their entire four years' course
in our high schools and have been prac
tically ostracized from the social life there- I
of, and are now. We protest to you that j
this is an unfair use of our school system
if it can be prevented, and there are many
cities that do not permit dancing and 1
therefore it is not necessary to thus subject
parents, teachers and scholars to this un
fair treatment. We believe our public
schools ought to aid the parents in moral
restraints and ln establishing moral ldeals.
We find maiy people who are not opposed
to dancing but who still think that it Is a
sex stimulant that ought not be brought
on too soon.
Parent-Teacher Body Landed.
Four. We are not unmindful of the
great and multifarious activities of the
Parent-Teacher association. We will de
light to co-operate with them in every
known way and develop additional ways.
but we call your attention to the it.ct
that the president of this organisation an
nounced that they had only supervised
dancing ln one of our many high school
This leaves sixth-sevenths of them with
out any claim to this kind of supervision
and the provision of section of the or
dinance on dancing forbids any supervi
sion of school dances by the Woman's Pro
tective association, and' this leaves the
high schools and many of the grammar
schools without any adequate supervision
except a voluntary group of patronesses,
many of whom do not come. We know of
one case where officers were sent for to
bring order out of chaos in a grammar
grade school where the principal had ap
peared for the first time since October 1,
and found such a condition of things that
he called for the assistance of officers. All
the facts of this particular case are
available to any member of this school
board as they were to ua in short, there
la no supervision of many of the school
dances because the dance Inspector Is for
bidden to be allowed to Interfere in a
chool. and the Parent-Teacher organisa
tion bas not yet covered the majority of
the schools of our city. We have found
another pi ivislon of the law that Insisted
that couples should not be permitted to
run In aJ out of dances without paying a
second admission at the door, but when
officers of our cit saw the couples disap
pearing and scattering to the various parts
of the building, sometimes staying an
hour, and those who were supervising ths
dance were asked why they permitted this
in violation of the known provisions, tha
answer was, "We never saw the purpose
of that provision in our ordinance." The
department that Mrs. Baldwin superin
tends has reported to our city the super-
viiinn nf ai.lS different dances In one
school year, but these officers are kept
out of all the school life by the ordinance,
and the other organisations reported to
you. "We only supervised dancing in one
high school."
Young Children Are Lured.
We beg you to consider not so much the
abnormal, occasional and shocking things
which have occurred, a record of which
we easily find, and that you ran just as
eailly discover, but the fact that the. so
called clean and well-sponsored dance In
the grade schools is Introducing young and
immature children to temptations and
stimulations that they should know noth
ing of until they are well through the!
adolescent period. We beg you to con
sider whether there is not enough legiti
mate uses for our public school buildings
In the promotion of education without :
making them the centers of temptation 1
and abnormal stimulations of what evl-.
dently needs no extra stimulant in our
city. And whether a school system that
is so careful not to take sides on matters
of prejudice that Its buildings cannot be
used for religious purposes nor the Bible
read in the school, whose auditorium even
in refused to political messages of reform
ers who wish to promote purity of life,
temperance. Sabbath observance and other
matters that may be controverted, should
be thrown wide open to dancing that finds
mora conscientious objectors to it and
gives moral offense to more people than
would be offended if the buildings were
used for all these other purposes.
If it may be said, "Shall we close up
the cleanest dances and leav-s those in
vicious places ?" we would say that the
cleanest dances are the ones that are
starting our boys and girls who would
have no temptation from the more vicious
resorts.

When Problem of Fortifications
ln Pacific Will Be Solved
Ia Still Uncertain.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 19. (By
the Associated Press.) The five.
power treaty for limitation of naval
armament has undergone further
changes in the course of a final over
hauling by experts and it now is com
mote except for the article estaon&n
lng fortifications status quo ln tha
Pacific.
When the fortifications problem
will be solved was regarded by some
delegates as dubious, but in soma
quarters there still was hope that
plenary session to announce publicly
the conclusion of the treaty may bs
held early next week.
Some delegations have proposed
that the troublesome article be
dropped 'from the Itreaty altogether
and be attached to the four-power
Pacific treaty, already signed, or em
bodied in a separata convention, ta
be drawn later.
Plans Are Not Changed.
Conference leaders, however, were
going ahead on the assumption that
the provision would remain in the
naval pact.
In the light of renewed Instructions
from Tokio to the Japanese delega
tion. the naval drafting experts will
meet again tomorrow to try to work
out a new phrasing of the article. It
was indicated tonight that the Jap
anese advices from home were not
entirely conclusive.
It was revealed today that in th
final revision of other portions of the
treaty, modifications had been agreed
to in the limitations on aircraft car
riers and on methods of scrapping
and that the provision had been made
which would require two years no
tice from any power desiring to ter
minal the convention.
Other Sections I'ncnanged.
The termination stipulation is ap
plicable only after the initial 15-yeai
period of the treaty's duration, and
it is provided that should one signs
tory desire to terminate the treaty
after that period, it will automatl
cal.y become inoperative as among
the others.
Other sections of the text remain
virtually unchanged.
In the section dealing with air
plane carriers, the proposal to limit
Individual carriers to 27,000 tons each
is modified so as to permit each
signatory to construct two of 33.000
tons each. It is provided specifically
that these may be obtained by con
version of battleships npw under con
struction, but which would otherwise
be strapped.
Conversion Is Allowed.
In addition, France and Italy each
will be permitted to retain two of
the capital ships listed for scrapping
in 1K31, for conversion into training
ships. For the same purpose the
United States, Great Britain and
Japan each is to be permitted to re
tain one proscribed capital ship each.
but in all cases measures, are pro
vided to prevent the vessels so re
tained from becoming again active
fighting units.
The preamble to the treaty, which
is complete with the exception of ar
ticle 19, is as follows:
' "The United States of America, the
British et..pire, France, Italy and
Japan, desiring to contribute to the
maintenance of the general peace and
reduce the competition ln armament.
have resolved with a view to accom
plishing those purposes to conclude a
treaty to limit their respective naval
armaments, and to that end have ap
pointed as their plenipotentiaries"
(here follows tne names or the repre
sentatives of the powers in Wash
ington).
Capital Ships Are Named.
One of the most important articles
of the treaty is that naming capital
ships of the powefs which are to be
retained. The list of American ves
sels given ln the treaty to be retained
follows:
Maryland, California, Tennessee,
Idaho, New Mexico and Mississippi,
all ranging around 32,600 tons.
Arizona and Pennsylvania, 31,400
tons each.
Oklahoma. Nevada, New York and
Texas, 27,000 to 27.500 tons.
Arkansas and Wyoming, 26,000 tons
each.
Florida and Utah. 21,825 tons each.
Korth Dakota and Delaware, 20,000
tons each.
The total tonnage of American cap

A wonder-drama, a wonder
woman, a wonder spectacle!
Before a background rith with barbaric
splendor, and through' the terrific death
struggle of two mighty nations,
"CABIRIA" carries a love story irre
sistible. The thrilling clandestine meetings of a
Roman lover with a Carthaginian beauty
the herculean feats of Maciste, a giant
black slave in behalf of the lovers and
the epochal march of Hannibal's vandals
over the Alptv combined with the artistic
direction of D'Annunzio, give but a hint

ar as follows:
"Article 9. No aircraft carrier ex

that any of the contracting powers

"And ln order to effect economy
any of the contracting powers may
use for this purpose any two of their
ships, whether already constructed or
ln course of construction, which
would otherwise be scrapped under
the provisions of this treaty."
Conversion Taj Prescribed.
Another paragraph of the treaty of
importance is that relating to the
conversion of vessels, which reads
textually as follows:
"Clause 3 (second part of the rules
for scrapping vessels). Not more than
on capital ship may be re-twined for
these purposes by any of the con
tracting powers.
"Of the capital ships which would
otherwise be scrapped by this treaty
in and after the year 1931, Francs
and Italy may each retain two sea
going vessels for training purposes
and especially for gunnery or torpedo
schools. Francs and Italy, respect
ively, undertake to remove and de
stroy their conning towers and not
to use such ships ss vessels of war."
