DANCE HALLS BANNED
Bishop’s Denunciation
(Rec. April 10, 5.5 p.m.)
London, April 9
The Paris correspondent of the ••Guardian" reports that following the action of Bishop Quimper, who earlier in the month denounced dancing as immodest and banned dance halls as places of disorder, a parish priest having vainly ordered the conductor of a jazz band to stop the impious music which it was playing for a wedding dance Jn the market place, kicked a •hole in the big dram. The priest of another village denied Muss to war victims because an exsoidlers’ society had arranged a dance. A third priest insisted that wives should refuse marital rights to husbands who persisted in reading godless newspapers after the Bisbop’s denunciation of any but the Roman Catholic Press.
