Taylor gave an exhibition of beauty dancing. Firat of all, the dancer takes certain exercises in a standing position which render deep breathing necessary and are an ald to the grace and poise, In the initial exercise the arme are rounded waist high, then stretched straight out with the palms down, then brought above the head—all this during inhalation. With exhalation the arms are brought down to the aides. In the second exercise the body js bent forward, the arms on a line with the knees, the right foot thrust be- hind the left and the chin out. In the jthird standing posture the body ts swayed to one side, bending at the waist, while the yight arm is encircled over the head’ and the left arm ts thrust straight out.

I asked Mr. Delle, who introduced it into New York and is.now demonstrating it at Carnegie Hall. “Beauty dancing, or danse de beaute, as it is called in Paris, is @ com- Dination of postures to music taken from Greek, Persian and Russian “These postures are of such a nature as tifically the body of the dancer and to correct existing defects.

In the third posture, the “panther leap,” the right foot is thrust straight into the air and the dancer lands on it, bringing the left foot backward, The movement is repeated, with the relative positions of right and left foot interchanged, and the dance ends with a leap ii the air, the legs crossed and the arma encircled, “The panther leap is meant eepecially for reducing,” explained Mr. Delle, “and is the ig ti ueue mevement in canee Ogcies, it devi calves, ings in the re- duces the hips, reduces the waist- line, pute the chest inte normal position, reduces the neck and ai oves the circulation wonder- uly.

The testimony which Public Service Commissioner Milo R. Maltble gave to-day before the Legislative Com- mittee which im investigating the Public Service Commission, showed that during the last four or five months Chairman McCall and Com- missioners Williams and Wood (“the Committee of Three,” Col. Hayward, the Committes's counsel, designated them) had held numerous confer- ences on transit matters of which he, the oldest member of the Commiss! ‘bad not been notified. These confer- F}ences, he stated, had usually been held in Chairman McCall's room. Col, Hayward—Would Commission- er Cram have attended these meet- ings, do you think? He called them “star chamber proceedings,” you know. Mr. Maltbie—I imagine he would have called them “star chamber pro- ceedings raised to the nth degree.” Q. What particular matters were usually considered at these confer- ences? A. Rapid transit matters, having to do with construction con- tracts, and applications from either the B. RK, T. or the Interboruugh for modifications under the terms of the dual contract. Q. How many hours a day would you say Commissioner Cram has put in at the offices since he has been a Commissioner? A. I can't say as to that. Chairman Thompson—If you can't figure it out in hours you can give it in minutes, (Laughter.) Commissioner Maltbie here ap- pealed to the Chair to be relieved from answering, but the Chair di- rected him to answer, Mr, Maltbie—Mr, Cram might have GULDEN'S Mustard TRY IT ON Steaks, Chops Roast Beet Corned Beet Boiled Ham READY TO USE. 10 CENTS, A Fine FIGH Bauce by Adding Vinegar, ‘At Doltentecssn aed Grocery Steres, ” to Beauty TWOSLOOAWEK ADELADE &.

At 10 o'clock or 11,31 When Commissioner Maltbie was asked about the “committee of the whole” meetings, he replied: “The trouble with the secret oon- ferences was that many times I didn't know what action had been taken on matters until they appeared in the regular calend This put me in the Position of voting on important mat- ters without havi the subject of being recorded ‘present but not voting. Assemblymi McQuistion — Your formal meetings were many times merely meetings in compliance with 6 law, were they not? A. Your as- sumption is substantially correct. Commiasioner Maltbie told the com- that within the next = months all the plans and specifica- tions for the entire dual subway sye- tem would be completed. This, he said, he had learned since the session of yesterday from the commission's Foley—What do you think of making the Public Service Commis. sion an elective body, chosen by the people? Commissioner Maltbie—I prefer an appointed body, Senator Foley--Do you think that election would bring politics into the Commission? Mr, Maltbie—Not more than has been. Mr. Maltbie gave the Committee a number of figures comparing the new subway car the ly Transit will employ with the car now used in the subways. He sald: “The new B. R. T. car will seat 90 passengers and provide for 192 standees as compared with 48 seats car, “The B. R. T. car is 16 feet larger and a train of elght of these cars ts longer than the present Interborough ten-car train, “The new cars have no end-door: but are provided with three aide doors one in the centre, the other two to- ward the ends of the car. “The cars can be loaded and un- loaded more rapidly than the subway cars.” and 125 standees inthe present subway al —_ Circus Rider Tries to Die, A woman, who said she was Gladys Mills, thirty-five, of No. 68 Van Note street, Rahway, N.
