Dancer Lashes Audience for Snickering at Act

Ted Shawn Calls College Crowd ‘lll-Mannered’ and *III-Bred.’ By United Press KENT, 0., April 20.—Kent staters still were gasping today under a tongue-lashing handed out by Ted Shawn, famous apostle of the natural dance, who stepped from his accustomed role to give a large college audience a verbal trouncing for its “bad manners.” Shawn’s enlisment in the ranks of Eva Le Gallianne, Ethel Barrymore and other scolders of audiences, came like a bolt out of a clear sky after a performance which had been generously applauded. The audience was a well-dressed assemblage of college students, deans and professors from Kent State college, and other civic minded souls willing to take a chance on seven male eccentric dancers. To be sure, there were some snickers when the dancers first appeared, so attired as to make Mahatma Gandhi look overdressed, and a few guffaws greeted Shawn’s interpretation of the life of John Brown. But on the whole the audience was appreciative and Shawn interrupted thunderous applause when, at the conclusion of the final number, he raised a hand for silence, stepped forward and said: “I’ve played to audiences in Bosston and New York, to the hill billies of the Carolinas and the cowboys of Texas, but you are the most illbred and ill-mannered audience to which I have ever been subjected.” The audience sat in stunned silence, then good-natured applause broke out again, and the spectators went home smiling.

CONVICTS ARE USED IN PLACE OF MULES Arkansas Officials Approve; Men Forced to Pull Planters By United Press TUCKER PRISON FARM, Ark. April 20—Convicts were in the “traces'’ here today, performing the task of mules on farm machinery, with full state aproval. Chairman Walter Helms of the state prison board and H. Grady McCall, gubernatorial secretary, came here yesterday to investigate reports that men were pulling corn planters, a chore previously assigned to mules. Superintendent A. G. Stedman conferred with Helms and McCall who were advised that the assignment was no more strenuous than the manual labor performed at the prison. They returned to Little Rock to inform Governor J. Marion Futrell that they saw no reason to interfere. A shortage of mules was the cause, authorities said.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

PLEAS POKES FUN AT G. 0. P. IN RALLY HERE Could Catch Dillinger With *Ed Jackson’s Horse,’ Secretary Says. “We Democrats might be able to catch John Dillinger if we just had Republican Governor Ed Jackson s horse,” Pleas Greenlee, McNutt patronage secretary, told the Old Hickory Club meeting at 43 West Vermont street last night. This sally brought cheers and ap-, plause from his hearers who recalled that Governor Jackson had explained a $2,500 check he received from D. C. Stephenson as payment for a “very fine saddle horse.” They also recalled that Governor Jackson pleaded the statute of limitations to avoid being tried on an attempted bribery charge and that Stephenson, one-time Ku-lUux Klan dragon and now life-term murderer, put Jackson into power. Deplores Lack of Jobs. Mr. Greenlee also recalled that a Republican Governor dirf go to prison and commented: “It is not unusual for known outlaws of the Dillinger type to break out of jail, but it is unusual for Governors to break into prison.” Defending the McNutt record for the first year in office, Mr. Greenlee expressed sorrow that there were but 3,000 state jobs for him to dish out to 50,000 “deserving Democrats.” Referring to attacks on both Governor Paul V. McNutt and himself, he cited history to show that Lincoln was assassinated and President Wilson died of a “broken heart.” “I am just a human being after all,” Mr. Greenlee concluded, urging the Democrats to stand up and fight to retain power. He attributed much of the present Democratic difficulties to their dramatization by a partisan Republican press. There are just tw’o issues as far as the Republican primary is concerned, George L. Denny, candidate for the Republican mayoralty nomination, declared last night at 1320 South Meridian street. They are, he said, the inherent fitness of the candidates and the loyalty of the candidates to serve the people without party dictatorship. Mr. Denny also spoke at a meeting of the Young Republican League at 2445 Arsenal avenue and to Eighteenth ward women at the home of Mrs. Telford B. Orbison 51 North Irvington avenue. He will speak tonight at 227 North New Jersey street. Law enforcement to the full ability of the prosecutor’s office was promised last night by Herbert M. Spencer, candidate for the Democratic nomination for prosecuting attorney, in a speech before the North Indianapolis Democratic Club, Clifton and Twenty-ninth streets. Mr. Spencer also spoke at the meeting of the Fifteenth Ward Democratic Club, 1318 Bates street. Other speakers who addressed meetings in behalf of Mr. Spencer were James A. Watson, Edward C. Brennan, Oscar C. Hagemeier, Dick Oberrich and Vernon Anderson. Judge John W. Kern, candidate for the Democratic nomination for mayor, will speak at the Warren Township Democratic Club in Carr’s hall, 5436 East Washington street, tonight. Judge Frank P. Baker of the criminal court, a candidate for renomination, also will speak. Drastic cuts for city employes were attacked last night by Walter Pritchard, a Republican candidate for mayor, at a dozen local meetings last night. Mr. Pritchard said that he favored consolidation of governmental units as a way to cut taxes.

NATURAL DEATH RELATIVE TERM, SCIENCEJDLDS Cave Men Expected to Die Violently; Moderns Germ Victims. B,y Science Service WASHINGTON. April 20.—How many of us will die a “natural” death? Sceintists who look into the fragmentary records that are left us of the life of ancient man are inclined to believe that most people in the old stone age died violently; by attack of wild beasts or poisonous snakes, by falls from cliffs, by drowning, by hunger or thirst or cold—perhaps even by being killed (if old or infirm) in times of famine. Disease, to be sure, was not unknown; indeed, the thighbone of what some claim is the most ancient human being, the Java apeman. has a marked pathological growth on it. But, it is said, not many individuals in that day of extremest rugged individualism got a chance to lie down quietly and be sick until they died. But is it a really natural death to die of disease? At least of a disease caused by germs? Do they not also kill us by violence? If a man is hanged by a mob, we do not argue that he did not die by violence. But if a mob of diphtheria bacteria swell the tissues of his throat shut and thus strangle him, he dies in much the same way, and by the action of strangers, even if they are microscopic. There is little disagreement that the victims of the Borgias’ poisons died violently. Yet the poisons spread in our systems by a score or more of bacterial species are vastly more potent and subtle than the comparatively crude arsenic compounds instilled into winecups by those very practical politicians of the Italian renaissance. It is likely that stone age man considered it “natural” to die by drowning or freezing, by bite of serpent or claws of cave bear, just as we today consider it “natural” to die from the assaults of much smaller foes. Perhaps in some future day, after we have wiped out pathogenic bacteria and parasitic protozoa and other microscopic killers, we shall go back to the cave man’s concept of accidental death as the natural end of man. Os course, there remain our own physiological disturbances: Heart disease, cancer, diabetes and the rest. In these, one organ, or one class of tissues, gets out of order and at last involves the whole organism in its own ruin. This would certainly seem to be the mast “natural” kind of death. But could it not also be looked on as a kind of civil war—one part of the body using violence (however unwittingly) for the ruin of all the rest?
